WARS NEW PHASE.
The United States Is no longer on the
defensive. There have been exasperat-
Ing delays, and the popular clamor for
action has not been entirely without
reason, but now the forces which will
end the struggle are in motion, and the
end of Spain's sovereignty in the Vest
ern world, if not actually in view, is
much nearer than 1t has ever been
boasted, even while admitting their
weakness at sea, that when the war
was transferred to land there would be
a different story to tell. Now this
boast must be made good, or Spain
must surrender her colonial possessions
perately. The preliminary war is over.
From now on the war will be in the
enemy's country. Fresh forces will
augment the American armies, while
the Spanish can expect no aid from
home. The time has now come when
the resources Of the United States can
be thrown into the scale, and the re-
suit is not difficult to foretell.

CAMP M'CALLA. Guantanamo,
Wednesday, June Is (via Kingston, ia
maica, June 16).-Today half-starved
and ragged Spanish soldier crawled
into the camp and gave himself up.
He said he expected to be shot, but he
would gladly die if they would only
give him food and water. He reported
that there were 1000 Spanish soldiers
half starved, who wanted to give them
selves up, but that they believed they
would be killed by the Americans as
soon as they were once in captivity.
The Spaniard was given dinner and
some clothing and was then taken on
board the Marblehead. He declared he
would gladly go back and report to hip
comrades, but that they would GER
tainly shoot him. He is now held as a
prisoner on the Marblehead.
The Marblehead's launch cleared out
a detachment of Spanish bushwhack-
ers this afternoon and escaped without
the loss of a man, after a hot engage
mentS of quarter of an hour. The
launch had been dragging the harbor
near the fort for mines, had found one
and was towing It back to the Marble

CAMP AT FERNAND1No.
Preparations Made With the Port

Preparations Made With the Porto
Rico Invasion In Mind.
WASHINGTON, June 16-The war
department is fastening forward the
preparations at Fernandino, Fla, which
will make that point one of the most
advantageous in the country for the
concentration of large body of troops.
Notices have been sent to the city au-
thorities, as well as to army officials,
directing them to hurry the prepara-
tions. 1t is said at the war department.
that the special board which inspected
Fernandino found the proposed camp
grounds so suitable, by natural condi-
tions and surroundings, that several
thousand troops could be accommodate
ed there today If 1t were necessary to
institute the camp at once.
The orders for this concentration
have not yet been issued, although the
inference is clear that they will follow
when Fernandino camp grounds are
ready. The department calculates that
the grounds will accommodate 10000
troops, when all preparations are COM
pleted.
The war department will give no In
timation as to how soon orders will be
issued for concentration Of troops at
Fernandino, but officials apparently
take it for granted that they will come
very soon now the camp grounds are
being put into readiness. 1t doubtless
will be the rendezvous for those troops
at Chickamauga and elsewhere which

STORY OF MANILA.
Battle Described by Consul o. f.
williams In q RepOrt

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The story
of the battle Of Manila bay has been
retold officially by the United States
consul, o. F. Williams, in a report to
the department Of state dated on board
the United States ship Baltimore in
Manila bay, May 4. Because the story
told by a civilian as he saw the events
of May day from the bridge Of the
Olympia and from the quarterback of
the Baltimore, it has an interest Of It's
own. He said:
''The method of our operations could
not have shown greater system, our
guns greater effectiveness or our Off
GERS and crews greater bravery, and
while Spanish resistance was stubborn
and the bravery of Spanish forces such
as to challenge admiration. yet they
were outclassed, weighed in the bal
ance of war against the methods, train
ing, aim and bravery shown on our
decks.
mo better evidence of Spanish brav-
cry need be sought than that, after the
first engagement, her ships and forts
should again answer our fire."

SHIP BUILDERS PROTEST
OPPOSE EIGHT-HOUR LAW FOR
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

MIR. Cramp Says 1t Would BE Impos-
eign Warships-COuld Not Conn
pete with European Countries-
Would Either Refuse Government
Contracts or Go Out of Business.
WASHINGTON, June ia sub
committee of the senate committee on
labor today gave a hearing to the re-
ports of corporations and others who
have contracts under the government,
eight-hour law to contractors under
the government, the subcommittees
having previously heard representa-
tives Of labor favoring the law.
Among those present at the hearing
were the following: Charles Cramp,
president, and Mr.. McCammon, secre-
tary of the w. c. Cramp & Sons Ship
and Engine Building company; ex-
United States Senator Higgins, repre-
senting the several Delaware compa-
MES; ex-Representative Payson, attor-
ney for the Newport News Ship Build
ing company; r. P. Lindermann, pres
ident, and Mr.. Davenport, superinten-
dent, of the Bethlehem Steel and Iron
company, and James Bailey, president,
and Mr. Cory, superintendent Of the
Carnegie company.
MIR. CRAMPS OBJECTION.
Mr.. Cramp argued that if the bill
should become a law it would be i'm
possible to compete In bidding for the
construction Of foreign warships. He
said he was now building warships for
both Russia and Japan. and that 1t
would be 1mpracticable to work men
on the American vessels Tor only eight
hours and those on the others for
greater length Of time. He could not
compete with the European countries
in bidding for such work If compelled
to work under an eight-hour law.
REFUSE GOVERNMENT BUS
MESS.
Mr.. Payson said that II the bill
should become law it would be neces-
sary for the Newport News company to
either refuse government business or
go out of business, for IL government
work should be accepted at all under
the law, 1T would be necessary to adopt
the eight hour system for all employees.
This condition Of affairs would render
it impossible to proceed with business.
Mr.. Payson expressed the opinion, in
reply to a question from Senator Gear,
that under the proposed law, wheat
purchased by the government would
have to be grown by men working
under the eight-hour system.
Mr.. Lindermann said that the firm
supplying coal to the Bethlehem
works and other subsontractors had
notified him that in case the bill should
become a law they would not enter
into another contract. with him, as it
would be necessary for them to operate
in accordance with its terms, which
they would not undertake to do.

EASTERN QUESTION SERIOUS.
European Encroachments In China
Menace American Interests.

Menace American Interests.
NEW YORK, June 16-fn the fortieth an
nual report Of the New York Chamber Of
Commerce, issued today, attention is called to
the Eastern question and the encroaching of
European powers on Chinese territory. 1t
finds such encroachments to be menace to
our already large trade in China.
The victory of the American navy at Ma
nia with probable occupation 81 the Philip
pines, is pointed to as a possible help In
the solution of this problem. The desira-
bility of closer relations with Canada and the
Improvement of our trade with this neighbor
is recommended by reciprocal tariff meas
ures and other actions.
The report shows the balance of trade In
favor of the United States to be $183, 39O, coo
for the fiscal year of 1897. For the calendar
year 1t is $32, ,S26, 989. 1t shows an increase
of the metallic stock of the country for 1897

The foreign commerce for the port Of New
York for the fiscal year ending June &c. 1897,
shows a decrease of $3, 1904; for the cal
endar year Of 1897, $33 265, $50. The bank ex-
changes at the clearing house show an in

COAST WELL GUARDED
FORTY NAVAL CRAFT PATROL
ATLANTIC AND GULF SHORES
A Hundred Miles Seaward Is an
Outer Picket Line of Warships-
Spaniards VIII Have a Hard Time
Surprising American Ports -
Special Enlistments for This
Service

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The navy
department has now completed It's ar
rangement of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast patrol, and stretching from East
port, Me-, around to New Orleans.
There are no less than forty auxiliary
naval craft, including swift yachts,
reconstructed single turret monitors
Of the Civil war; tug boats, ferry boats
and not a few large and we'll armed
merchantmen.
These forty ships are disposed at
several large coast and Gulf cities,
while hundred or more miles sea-
ward an outer picket line Is main
tanned by four Of the larger and more
effective warships of the San Francisco
class. One Of these outer pickets is
maintained as far north as Nova SEQ
tia, and the southerly one is off the
northern coast Of Georgia. The larg-
est one of these vessels is at New
York city, the commerce requiring pro-
lection being greatest at that point.
Boston, Charleston and other coast
points have their share Of the auxil-
iary craft, making as a whole a naval
patrol considered adequate for any
emergency In protecting the Eastern
and Southern coast line.
Along with the organization Of this
coast patrol the navy department has
been making large number Of naval
enlistments for this special service,
under the general authority of the
joint resolution of congress, which pro-
vides for the enlistment Of sufficient
naval force to properly defend coast
points. The men thus far enlisted have
been Of an exceptionally high grade
The enlistment officers have found also
that while the men are technically en-
listed for harbor defense service, they
are willing and even anxious to get
into more active service on the fighting
ships around Cuba. This feeling among
the new men has been so noticeable
that it has convinced the department
a large and valuable reserve force is
being gathered together on the harbor
defense patrol.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-17

have been ordered to receive their full
equipment. The various preparations
have as their main object the departure
of a large expedition to Porto Rico, at
an early date. 1t was confidently stated
by high officials within the last day
or two that 1t was hoped the expedition
could be so rushed ai to get it away.
within the next ten days. Whether the
extensive preparations. the moving of
troops, the gathering of transports and
the movement In detail can be expect
ed in this time, is open to doubt,
although extraordinary expectation
marks every branch of the military
service in advancing the expedition to
completion.

merchants.
The colonial authorities were inform
ed by her owners that clearance papers
would be asked for n-blockaded
port like Manzanillo, on the south
coast Of the Bay Of Guanayrao.
United States Consul Dent made rep
1esentation to the government Of the
island against the vessel, and careful
inquiry was instituted, the officials
promising that If Mr.. Dent could fur
nish specific proof that her captain in
tended to run for blockaded port, they
would refuse to allow her to load.
An attempt was then made by her
owners to change her register. A well
known Kingston merchant agreed to
take a bill of sale, registering as
British owner, but he withdrew when
the government pointed out the liab1l-
ity he would incur if she violated the
neutrality laws. Another attempt to
obtain a register Of ownership was
made, this time through an irresponsi-
BILE clerk, but the government refused
permission to the proposal unless he
could fortify it with bond with two
resident sureties for the full value of
the ship.
There has never been the least doubt
in the mind of Mr.. Dent that the sup
plies and provisions, though loaded
ncminalIy for an unblockaded port, are
defined ultimately for Gen. Blanco's
troops. There is little likelihood that
she will reach her destination, as Ad-

derstood to have left Kingston with

YOSEMITE'S FOOLISH ACT.
The captain and officers of the auxil-'
larry cruiser Yosemite, Capt, Emory,
formerly Ell Rio, feel foolish and are
thoroughly vexed. AS the Yosemite
approached Port Royal about o'clock
this morning she passed large steam
er going out No attempt was made to
ascertain her name, but on arriving
here the Yosemite's captain learned
that the steamer was the Purisslma
Conception.
The Yosemite, with other American
cruisers, had been especially warned
about this steamer, as she would De
rich prize She is said to have 100000
in gold on board. Her cargo OF food
and medicine is destined ultimately for
Cienfuegos and Havana.
1t is by no means certain that the
auxiliary cruiser Prairie, formerly Ell
Solferno, will catch her, although the
Prairie will be directly in the course
the vessel took this morning.
