Perkins OF California said he desired 10
eE.er word Of defense OF the San Fran
cisco ship owners So far as the company
with which he was connected was con-
cerned, Il had declined 10 charter its ships
to the government. Therefore it could not
be included in the denunciation OF Mr.
Carter. He knew of his personal knowl-
edge that &. p Huntington. OF the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. had placed the
vessels of his line at the disposal of the
government. The China. City OF sydney
and other ships of the company had been
offered 10 the government for fully 50 per
cent less than they could command on the
Atlantic coast. Mr.. Sprecke.s had done the
same with the vessels of his line. Other
San Francisco ship owners had offered
their vessels to the government at It's own
price.
1.-The loyalty Of the people OF California"
declared Perkins. cannot be impugned.
The Pacific states. California. Washington
and Oregon will never be found lacking in
patriotism, and none of them. none OF their
citizens will ever attempt 10 extort cent
from the government. The aspersions Of
my friend from Montana were uncalled for
and unwarranted by the facts
The measure offered by Gal.ingsr, which
had started the debate. was then passed
without division.

SECRECY Is BEING
WELL OBSERVED,
IL IL Impossible tn Learn Exactly
Where the Troops From Tam
pa Have Gone.

WASHINGTON, June ST became ap-
parent this afternoon that the war depart
ment. through the energetic Offices OF tas
censor. had succeeded entirely in its pur-
pose TO keep the movement OF the United
States troops q secret. for beyond question
at The close Of the day Il was impossible
tn learn where are the United States
troops which for weeks hal been gathered
under the command of Gen. Shafter n
Florida.
Stories OF the appearance OF mysterious
warships in CaIban waters loatei through
the navy department during the day. Ma
val officers quickly condemned them, de-
rsar.ng that = the boats were Spanish.
they were nothing more than some armed
launches ard no; 10 be feared by any
number Of transports conveyed by such
fine gun2l0ats as the Helena and Bancroft.
But when these stories reached the war
department they were received in a diff
fsrent spirit. Nothing Is more helpless in
warfare than an unarmed fFanspor. full
Of troops. She would fall an easy victim
TO the smallest gunboat and the soldiers
knowing their weakness IN this respect.
are loath 10 undertake TO cross the Florida
straits until these disaEreeabIe visitors
have been removed from the pathway
without respect 10 the character Of the
strange craft that are said 10 be lodging
the blockaders at Havana. they will 5e re-
moved from the scene of action at short
notice. as Il Is said that Sampson has been
acquainted with the situation and viii be
expected 10 redeem his promise 10 provide
safe conduct for the army when called
upon. He has an ample force TO conduct
the operations at Santiago TO a successful
issle and stu spare vessels OF any power
desirable for use Ia the Florida straits
II was pointed out today BY a naval Off
Ger that the admiral since the arrival Of
the marine battalion on the Panther. has
at his disposal what he may regard as a
Sufficient force OF men To capture Santiago
even before tho troops arrive. The 500 ma
rinesl ON the Panther. added to the marines
already with the fleet, would make a total
Of about 1850 men. Without impalrjng the
efficiency OF his ships. Admiral Sampson
gould spare 1000 blueiackets for landing
party. and with this total force of e.a0o. If
the insurgents who have been armed by the
United States government do their part. IL
seems possible for Sampson 10 capture
Santiago at short notice.
There seemed 10 be a very decided air Of
expectancy among the officials who are ac-
quaintei with the government plans. that
almost warranted a conclusion thar an en-
gagcmcnt Of some kind was expected TO-
day.
