speedy Yachts and Sen Tugs for Tor.
pedp Boats.
New York. March 25.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: BY direc-
tlon of President Mckinley Secretary
dollars Thursday in the purchase OF ten
speedy yachts and sea tugs, which will al
once be converted into torpedo beat de-
stroyers and dispatch boats. In directing
the purchase of the yachts and tugs. Presl-
dent Mckinley was guided by the intorma-
ton showing that the Spanish torpedo boat
hotilla sailed from the Canaries for Porto
Rico.
Before this information came to hand
the authorities We're not willing to pay
the high prices asked by the owners OF
yachts and tugs, which had been inspected
and recommended for purchase by the
auxiliary cruiser board, but the necessity
of improyisng n torpedo fleet to Offset
that which Spain is sending to Porto Rico
was so apparent that the president author
lied that the negotiations be closed and
that the vessels should be purchased with
out further delay. Secretary Long at once
telegraphed to Captain Rodgers ana re-
ceived reply announcing that the bar
gains had been closed and the boats would
be turned over to the government at the
Brooklyn navy yard.
Secrecy Is maintained by the Off ers as
to the names of the vessels purchased and
the price paid for each, but II Is known
that only two tugs have been bought while
eight yachts have been purchased.

War Department. IT Was Said, Had Not
Yet Decided the Matter.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Rumors of
various kinds have been in circulation
as to the disposition Of General Shat.
ter's army, but the war department has
not come to any conclusion as yet in the
matter. A sufficient force is to be kept
at Santiago to maintain the position the
United States has taken and to preserve
order. While there is yellow fever in
fection in the army no attempt will be
made to bring the troops to the United
States.
The war department, it may be
stated, is now bending every effort to
secure for General Skaters army an
ample supply of nutritious food and
also will see the soldiers have q rest
and careful attention so that they may
get in the very best condition. The
medical corps is now making . careful
examination of the army with a view
of advising the department as to the
best methods of restoring the sick to
health and preventing any further
spread of disease
1t is mot believed at the department
that any large number of troops will be
necessary at Santiago after the Spanish
prisoners have been depOrted, but the
department awaits further develop
ments before deciding upon any course
in reference to General Shafter's army.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. July 2B.-Ths
1000 Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo
laid down their arms yesterday. The
$3.50 from Palma Soriano. San Luis
and Longo surrendered Monday to
Lieutenanr Miley and yesterday pack
pack trains with provisions were sent
them.
The only others included in the ca
pitulatlon are 1900 troops at Baracoa
and 1000 at Sagua.
They have not yet been turned over
but they are nowhere in General Gar
cia's vicinity. He was at Jiguany yes
terday and reached there without en-
countering any Spaniards. General
Shafter authorizes an absolute contra
diction of the report that Garcia en-
countered a force of Spaniards who
were returning to Santiago to surren-
der and was defeated by them
Colonel Ezra p. Ewers Of the Ninth
infantry, acting for General Shafter,
will receive the formal surrender of
Guantanamo. Monday General Shaf-
ter released 40 Cubans who had been
confined in the local Jail on political
charges. Indeed, some of them were
confined without charges of any char
acter, others on the most trivial pre-
texts and still others solely because Of
sympathy with the insurgent cause.
The Jail is still filed with many whose
crimes and sentences are not ON record
and are absolutely unknown, so far as
has yet been ascertained. A general in

ately. "a
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The war de-
partment has received a letter from q
New York attorney representing ]. l..
Sc. John, protesting against the award
for transporting the Spanish prisoners
IN Spanish ships. In addition to claims
tnat have been made in this matter
heretofore, he alleged that his client
had not been heard respecting a bid
which he had put in. Colonel Hecker
replied 70 the attorney yesterday, say
ing that Mr.. st. Johns bid was upon a
letter denoting him paper manufact-
urer, and MIR. st. John had not re-
sponded 10 a telegram requesting his
presence in Washington, save by let
ter saying that he was glad that the
contract had been placed ses advantage
ously TO the government. Colonel
Hecker also said that the department
was fully advised as TO the location of
the Spanish ships before the contract
was made.
Probably before the end Of the week
the Spanish company will begin the
discharge OF its obligation and have
shipped &C Santiago nc least 900 OF the
Spanish soldiers on the long Journey 10
