camps. Therefore, the officers of the
administration feel that they have a.
right to look back with pride over what
has been accomplished in the short
space Of two months, working in a
large part with raw material In both

SPANISH FORCES
The reports from Santiago that about

WASHINGTON, June 21. - Two
months ago today war broke out be-
tween the United States and Spain,
according to the proclamation Of the
president and the declaration Of con-
gress. The end Of that period finds
nearly $4,000 United States troops lying
off Santiago preparing to land; 1t finds
cable communication established be-
tween the government at Washington
and the advance guard Of the expedi-
tion in Cuba, and it finds Cuban terri
tory In the possession Of United States
marines. backed by a squadron, and
nearly all Of the commercial ports of
Cuba blockaded. This is still all apart
from Dewey's great victory at Manila,
and from the splendid results achieved

Dewey just the sort Of supplies for
which he dispatched the Zafiro to Hong
Kong. 1t was said at the navy depart
ment that while the latest dispatches
from Dewey, received few days ago,
said nothing about the arrival Of the
transports, they are probably now at
Cavite. Admiral Dewey is said to
have Indicated in his dispatches that
Chief Aguinaldo Is working in perfect
harmony with the American forces,
and that when Gen. Merritt reaches
Manila there will be no one to dispute
occupancy of his office.
CAMARA AT CADIZ.
War is grim business, but it seems to
have Its humorous side here in Wash
ington. Today came official verifca-
tion Of the return Of the Spanish ad-
miral, Camara, to Cadiz, and the an
nouncement was the signal for much
merriment among navy and war de-
partment officials. The fact that the
announcement was accompanied by an
explanation that the Vitoria had to be
towed into port did not in the least
curtail the humorous comments on Ca
mara'S exploits up to date.

soned to the climate, know the fighting
grounds Of that locality and are prob
ably as good an all-around fighting
force as the Spaniards can bring to
bear. There is no purpose on the part
OF the authorities here to leave Gen.
Smarter with an inadequate force to
meet these seasoned Spanish soldiers.
1t is for this reason, in part, that a
division, probably under Gen. Henry.
will reinforce Shafter, followed by such
additional troops as the needs of the
situation seem to demand.

office Of Senor Puigcerver, minister Of
finance. The cortes may have to sus-
pend its sittings during the crisis, and
Sagasta will have to submit to the
queen regent question Of confidence
in the ministry.
II Sagasta resigns, it is thought a
national government pledged to an en-
ergetic war course will be established.
The chamber of deputies today had
under consideration the Republican
proposal to establish general obligatory
military service and to abolish substi-
tutes.
In the senate Gen. Puigcerver, min
lister Of finance, denied that the tobacco

he admitted that at the present mo-
ment the monopoly is losing money.

SHUT UP LIKE CERVERA.
Spanfards Sink a Boat to Proven,
an Attack by Dewey,


NEW YORK, June 21.-A special
from Manila says that Dewey did not
destroy every Spanish boat in Manila
harbor, but left several small torpedo
boats that escaped up the Pasig river.
There they have been since the battle.
The admiral decided to let them alone.
but early last week he learned that the
Spaniards proposed to attack the fleet.
Accordingly he ordered a launch to go
into the river and destroy the torpedo
boats.
Ensign Caldwell, the admiraPs sec
retary, was, at his own request, assign
ed to command the launch, and the
gunboat Callao was directed to escort
the launch to the river and wait for
its return. Ensign Caldwell was TO
dash into. the river during rain squall
and surprise the enemy He was TO
destroy the torpedo boats as quickly
as possible and then return to the fleet.
The Spaniards suspected the ad-
mirals design, and they prevented him
from carrying it out by sinking a
transport across the mouth of the river.
thus shutting the river against he in
gress of Dewey's boats and the egress
of their own. There they remain, shut
up as tightly as Cervera at Santiago.

SALTWATER, Mimi, June 21.-The
severest blow that has struck Still
water for many years occurred this
evening, when the Touring mill and
elevator belonging to Hon. Isaac Sta
pies were totally destroyed by fire. It
was the hottest fire witnessed here
since the burning Of the Minnesota
state prison5~and nothing but the heroic
efforts OF the fire department and vol
unteers saved business houses and fac
tories on North Main street. The loss
is estimated at $15O,000 No insurance

cessive premiums.
The fire supposedly. started from

the entire building was a mass of
flames, and dense clouds of smoke were
coming from the elevator and mill.
They soon caught fire, and the transfer
company's engine was busy getting out
cars standing on the tracks.
AS the fire progressed, the entire
north part of the city seemed doomed,
and President MeGarry, Of the city
council, summoned help from ST. Paul.
Before the department left there the
flames were checked, and the order was
countermanded. The round house of
the st. Paul & Duluth road was also
destroyed, but was unoccupied. The
sidetracks are in bad shape, but traf-
fic will not be impeded. The insur-
ance on the elevator was $4,000, and
contents $4,000.

: WASHINGTON, June 21.-Twenty-
four British vessels have been offered
to the war department by their own
ers. All of these, however, are not yet
in United States ports, but their ar
rival has been anticipated with a
view to their examination as soon as
they reach here. The officers Of the
cuartermaster's branch are inspecting
the ships as fast as practicable, and
the reports which have already reach
ed the war department indicate that
some Of the vessels will not be suitable
for transport purposes. y
The general situation regarding the
transport question is far. from satis-
factory to the department, as there is
great desire. to obtain additional
vessels at once. Still the officials are
hesitating about taking steps to i'm
press ships, and reassert the state
ments heretofore made that their pref
erence is to buy the. vessels outright
or, as an affirmative, to grant Amer
lean registers to foreign-built vessels.

SAMPSON IS READY.
WASHINGTON, June M.-The navy
department continues to hear from Adj
miral Sampson relative to the general
condition of affairs with the fleet off
Santiago. Reports last received speak
of the satisfactory condition of affairs
and particularly draw attention to the
continued good work being done by
the Cubans. The admiral says he now
has about 1000 Cubans, fully armed,
engaged In the bushwhacking work
which has proved so effective in pro-
tecting the marines and in preparing
the way for the American troops. This
force of Cubans is quite apart from the
regular force under Gems. Garcia and
Rabi, and Is detached body of guer-
rillas which is cooperating with our
naval forces rather than with our
army.
The extent to which the Cubans have
been exposed to action is shown by the
report reaching the navy department
that thirty wounded Cubans have
been placed on the Solace. This is be-
Eeved to be considerably more than
from the American marines.
