PREPARING FOR PEACE.

Naval officers at Santiago Anxious
to Be Doing Something.
PLAYA DEL ESTE, Aug. e.-The
auxiliary cruiser ST. Louis has arrived
here from Porto Rico, under orders to
assist in taking the United States
troops from Santiago. Capt. Goodrich,
however, thinks his ship is too long
to enter the harbor, and he will remain
here until the matter is settled.
The transport San Juan arrived from
Santiago with supplies and proceeded
for Camera.
The Armenia has left for Key West.
The fleet still remains here awaiting
orders from Washington.
Rear Admiral Sampson expresses the
hope that the peace negotiations will
come to a quick conclusion. He Is
anxious to take aggressive action on
the south coast without delay, in the
event of peace being concluded, to. i'm
mediately relieve the suffering imposed
by the rigor Of the blockade. Through
out the campaign Admiral SIMPSONS
keen appreciation of the sufferings Of
the half-starved Cubans and his en-
deavors to afford them relief have been
a marked feature.
The Polamach recovered $4,000 from
the Infanta Maria Teresa, which was
driven ashore at the time Admiral Ger
vera attempted to escape from Santi-
ago.
The transport Resolute Is still here.
The shore is deserted, save for the cable
operators and our marines who are on
guard.
The newspapers containing Admiral
SIMPSONS report of the battle on July
8, arrived here last night They were
eagerly read throughout the fleet and
the report created intense satisfaction
The universal confidence in, and devo-
ton to the admiral by the men under
his commands rendered this expression
OF feeling foregone conclusion.

AS to the charge made by Mayor
Galley that de1icacies were received by
the hospital and "corralled' I could
not say, but the statements of those
who have beeLn sick would lead us 10
believe that they are not distributed
as was the intention Of the senders.
For example: There were fifty night
caps sent by the good people of Shak-
opee to the hospital, and last evening
they were taken out by the steward and
our drum major and presented to the
majors and captains with speech-mak-
ing and hilarity, while those who sent
them supposed they were easing the
pain Of some poor sick soldiers. There
was, however, a happy evening made
by their distribution, which, perhaps,
made up for the comfort they might
have given.
According to the figures given there
were 1914 sick AND on sick leave out Of

NEW YORK, Aug. 6-(Special)-The Of
fetal board appointed to inquire into the
failure to land supplies taken South on the
transport Breakwater and brought North
when the steamer returned, has been unable
to fix the responsibility for the oversight. 1t
transpres the supplies were for the Third
infantry, formerly stationed at St. Paul. The
board, in Investigating the matter, found on
the Breakwater 46 crates of bacon, 1886
pounds of roast beef, 1880 pounds of flour,
1850 pounds Of hard bread, 5,o5S pounds Of
pounds of canned tomatoes, 2,59S pounds Of
coffee, 1921 pounds of sugar, 1,26S pounds
Of salt, rs pounds of pepper, 1880 pounds Of
soap and 4s0 pounds of candles. OF these
only the canned tomatoes, candles and soap
were fit to be reissued ard the board recon-
mended that the condemned goods be sold
at auction. They were spoiled by water, dis
infection and long keeping.
The board took the affidavits of Private
Jacob d. Morganson, Third United States in
fantry. who was detailed to guard the stores
and Of Louis Rivera the captain of the ship
From these 1t appeared that the Breakwater
went to Santiago as one of the feet of trans
ports carrying Gen. Skaters army. The stores
had been aboard the ship since June g. be-
ing invoiced by Capt. A. D. Nickerson, COM
missary of subsistence, U. s. A., to Lieut.
James M. McAndrews, Third United States

The steamer went to Baiquiri and landed the
troops and part of the supplies. Before the
remainder could be landed the ship sailed

general rule well cooked"
The chaplain has none Of the hot and

received the following telegram from Adjt.
Gen. H. c. Corbin, at Washington, which
shows that there is no hope of the company

he would if Gov. Clough would equip the

Following is a stirring account of the

We went into the trenches under severe
fire. and won't try to describe &c fire of
rifles and shells, the heat. the rain. the
mud, and the crowded condition of the
trenches.
When we were relieved after dark we
stumbled our way back to the rear and tried
to sleep.

Schelman and Mcdonald were wounded at
the trenches. and Sche.man had to have part
Of his foot amputated.
Well, about midnight things became quiet
and We stretched our tired, aching limbs on
the ground and tried to sleep.
The next day we moved to the extreme left
flank. along little river, the San Juan: one
battalion on ridge, another below it. We
were below. Oh, what foul place! Later
we moved up the ridge and still further to

There had been a truce since the night at
tack, but il the evening, after our trenches
were built, the bali opened again. We rather
grinned at the things this time, especially
as we heard the Spanish bullets going irto
the decoy trenches, which we had made con-
spicuous for their benefit
The next day came a truce which has not
been interrupted and which, as you know,
has ended in the surrender of the whole
force. Yesterday the formal surrender took
place. At $3.50 the arms were stacked up
and at IL our flag was raised over the place.
We looked on from the trenches.

CAPT. BARKER COMMANDER.
Transferred to the Battleship Ore
gon to Succeed Capt. Clark.

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA good deal
Of concern Is felt at the navy depart
ment at the breakdown of Capt. Clark,
of the Oregon. Not the slightest in
formation has reached here as to the
nature of the captains illness; all that
is known Ia that Commodore Watson,
his immediate superior, ordered a med
ical board to examine him, with the
result that he was condemned and or
dered home. 1t does not follow from
this that the captains collapse Is per-
manent, and his splendid physique and
usually vigorous health afford reasona-
BILE ground for the belief that he would
regain his health in the north. Capt.
Barker, who is in command of the
Newark has been assigned to COM
mand the Oregon in place Of Capt.
Clark. The vacancy in the command
Of the Newark has not been filed as
yet Capt. Barker was one Of the
original members Of the naval war
board, and in that capacity rendered
valuable services in preparing the navy
for the excellent work accomplished
by 1t. He commanded the Oregon while
she was attached to the Pacific sta

time playing in the vacant lot across

he didn't. He admitted that it was all

Naturally, that settled it. 1t would
never do to punish a boy for something
that was clearly not his fault
Il have heard, also" went on the
old gentleman, turning to his daughter
that you ran away from your piano
lesson to-day"
TT was all the fault of that horrid
Smith girl" returned the damsel Il
was just looking forward to that piano
lesson with delight, when she came
along on her way down town to get
some chocolate creams, and the first
thing L knew she had hypnotized me
into going with her. That girls will
power is something extraordinary"
The old gentleman passed on to the
next subject.
Supper was late tonight" he said.
Yes" replied his wife; the cook says
she was unavoidably delayed, owing to
being hypnotized by the policeman on
this beat"
The old gentleman's eyes wandered
to the folding doors.
Il see that you have bought those
curtains that / told you I couldn't af-
ford,' he remarked.
True" answered his wife, "but ]
couldn't help it. I was hypnotized by
the clerk at the curtain counter BY

supper last evening? You didn't get in
until long after midnight
Just as I was putting on my coat
to start for home" he explained, some
of the boys dropped in to see me, and
before I knew what was up they had
me hypnotized."
Thus satisfactory explanation was
furnished for everything, and they set
tied down for the evening at peace with
each other and with consciences at rest.
