 General Miles, in the course of brief talk, said to-day that General Shafter might contemplate the withdrawal of his forces to the highlands in the direc- ton of Siboney, where they would be near the sea- This, however, would be a temporary expedient, enabling the soldiers to rest and prepare for the work ahead
 Tn officials hope to rush the rein forcements to General Shafter, so that there will be rom 32,00O to 35,O00 men under his command within the next ten days, and sooner if this can be ar ranged. This is exclusive of the insur gents, hom General Garcia has been able to bring to Shafters com mand approxi. ately 4000 men. There were about 15, 100 men and officers in the expedition that set out from Tampa less than month ago. These have since been reinforced by the troops of Brigadier General DYff1eld's command, amounting to 5000 men and consisting of the Thirty third and Thirty-fourth
 
 regiments. Tn, first 1400 of General Duffield's brigade have been with Shaf- ter for a week, while the remainder have just debarked
 During the past week a ,cond expe- dition of large proportion was sched- uled to leav Tampa, carrying a good porti n of General Simon Snyder's divi- sion of the Fourth Corps as reinforce ments for General Siafter. Assistant Secretary Mciklejohn said to-day that eleven transports were available to carry Snyders troops, and while with out official information on the subject he assumed thtt probably 5000 of them were on the way in these transports to join those in Santiago Province. The other troops to be sent to the aid of General Shafter will, according to the understanding here, be the remaining portion of General Snyder's division and such other regiments now at Tam

FIRST FLEET AT MANILA.
Continued from First Page.

Washington correspondent telegraphs Secretary Long received tonight dis patch announcing the arrival of the dis patch boat Zafiro at Hongkong for the purpose of filing dispatches from Rear Admiral Dewey.
 At late hour tonight these dis patches had not arrived, but as they do not usually come in until morning the authorities are not concerned over the delay
 It is believed the purpose of the Ad- miraI in sending the Zafiro to Hongkong was nnere y to assure the Government of the safety of the troops and that the operations against Manila would be commenced at once.
 It is the understanding of the depart ment that as soon as the American troops have recovered from the effects of their voyage they will at once CO., operate with the insurgents and ships for the reduction of the city, and it is confidently expected the present week will bring the good news that Manila also has surrendered to the American forces.

NEWS FROM MANlLA
 HAILED WITH JOY
Safe Arrival of the. Volunteers Ends the Anxiety Felt Throughout
 the State. .:..... ::.... ..... :.


 The news that our: boys have at last reached their destination in the Orient canr t fail to. send a thrill of joy through the heart of every patriotic American, and this aeeiing will be par-.: ticularly strong on this coast, as it is to the glory of California that the. first troops to sail for a foreign land were from the Golden .State::: = < .,.:.".-
 The day whe-. the transports sailed. the 26th of May, will live in the minds of those who witnessed the event as long as body and soul hold together On the morning of the 24th; amid the boom ing of cannon and; hoarse cheering of thousands. the boys of. the First Call fornia Volunteers, under command. of Colonel Smith,. marched down Market stree and boarded the City of Picking. They were followed by the :Headquar- ters and two battalions of the: Second Oregon, detailed to the Australia, and the Headquarters and: a. battalion of the Fourteenth United States Infantry, a battaf of the Second. Oregon: Vol unteers and a detachment of California heavy artillery, assigned to the. City of Sydney. ..- <[. :

 Next came the story. of a: a:grand tri- umphal reception by the natives of: the Hawaiian Islands, where t'soI2hebody's darling" was, for a. few brief hours, made everybody's pet. They realized what those blue uniforms stood for. and their welcome was such that the boys regretted leaving the sum kissed islands in the balmy Pacific =. =. :.
 Then came another period of waiting. Stories of typhoons in the seas far out in the track of the setting sun made the boldest tremble as they thought of the danger. The ships. were heavily laden and a few days overdue and rumors were constantly coming from some where, everywhere or nowhere that the Peking had foundered in a storm and all on board were lost: It was hardly reasonable to give. the story credence for moment, yet when one,s mind is strained with anxiety he will listen to any rumor, good or bad, and as bad news spread quickest, the city became accustomed to tales of the loss of the transports, until theybecarne almost like the old cry of "wolf,'' and people hap oily let them pass without comment. It must be admitted, however, that there was considerable genuine anxiety felt, and the news that our boys are now with the hero of Manila will make our natal day all the more joyous.

had reported the defenses to be so strong it would be impossible to carry them by storm with his present force, there was moment arlly a wave of deep apprehen- sion. But this was not shared by the military authorities here. All their energies, all their attention, was turned to meet the situation as presented by General Shafter.
 There was neither time nor dis position to take account of what had gone before, when the fact was plain that the American army had fought it's way, inch by inch, under a blazing sun,. through a dense tropical vegetation, stead fly advancing and beating back the foe, taking position after posi- ton, until, as General Shafter re- ported, the town was we'll in vested on the north and east by the long drawn out line of Amer ican troops. That was sufficient tribute to the valor of our brave men, and 1t silenced all cavil over the conditions now presented by General Shafter.
 It was time for action, for re- endorsements, and toward the
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-04

execution of this end every effort of the administration was at once turned.
 But there was other information of a different tenor coming about the same time. The American army was not alone feeling the effects of this three days shock of arms. Definite, posi- tive information was at hand that San tiago had been literally torn to pieces, and that in the wreck and ruin of de- molished buildings the Spanish casual ties numbered fully 1O0O This was a fitting offset of any qualms raised by the reports from the American lines. This information came to one of the en- gineers stationed at Santiago, who re- ported to the representatives of his country in Washington the fearful ha- voc within the city wrought by the American army and the fleet.
 The distress of the city, even before the battle, was clearly shown by the action of the French Consul in serving out rations of half pound daily to his fellow countrymen, a few hundred i.l number, for the last onth. Evidently there was no -ood to buy, the Spanish military forces having taken every available pound. Only by this official distribution Of rations to the foreign colony could they be kept from star yation.
 Then came the brief but graphic re- cital of the terrible effect of the Amer ican attack from land and sea- The bursting of shells from our fleet had done the test damage inside of the city. Buildings were riddled with rifle shot and mown down with the huge shells and solid projectiles from the shirs. Most serious of all the Spanish commander, General Linares, occupy

WASHINGTON, July B. From the heat and carnage Of the battle of Santiago, where for the last three days the American forces. have pressed forward against :3.an entrenched enemy, General Shafter to-day sent the following dispatch, summarizing the situation

Gen era1 Garcia reported he holds the railroad from Santiago to San Luis and has burned a bridge and removed some rails; also that General Pando has ar rived at Palma and that the French Consul with about 400 French citi- ZenS came into his line yesterday from Santi- ago; have directed him to treat them with every courtesy possible.
 
 SKATER,
 Major General.
 Secretary Alger sent the fol- lowing reply to General Shafter:
 To General Shafter: The President directs me to say that you have the gratitude and thanks of the nation for the brilliant and effective work of your noble army on Friday, July 1. The steady va1or and heroiSm of officers and men thrill the American people with pride. The country nourns the brave men who fell in bat tie. They have added new names to our roll of heroes.
 ALGER, Secretary of War.
 The dispatch speaks for itself, and, as Adjutant General Corbin said, tells what desperate fight our gallant troops have been in. It was received at noon to-day, after Hull of nearly thirty-six hours in the official information from the field.

Leri.latlnr Against Book Agents.

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress providing that mo person hold
ing a copyright for any book, map, or
pamphlet shall enter into any agree
ment, combination, or understanding
with any person or persons whereby
the parties to said contract shall have
the exclusive privilege to sell books,
maps, or pamphlets, or into any agree
ment, combination or understanding
for the purpose of controlling or reg
ulating the output of books, maps or
pamphlets, or for fixing, establishing,
regulating, controlling or influencing
the price for which books, maps or
pamphlets are sold" The penalty pro-
posed by the bill Is a cancellation of
copyright.
This curious bit of legislation is
aimed directly at the person who seeks
to gain a livelihood by canvassing for
books of all sorts. While the book
agent has a bad name and is consid-
cred the most intolerable bore in ex-
istence. it seems scarcely fair to shut
off his means of getting a living.
Surely, all things being equal, he has
quite as good a right to follow his
trade and calling as the lightning
man, the sewing-machine agent and
the vendors of adhesive compounds
and patent kitchen utensils. AS a
rule, the book handled by the agent
is a tolerably good one, and this is a
great point in his favor. He is not de-
ceiving his customer to any extent, nor
is he obtaining money of that worthy
under false pretenses. His book is
good, and while it may be, and prob
ably is. very high priced edition. It
has the merit of wholesomeness and
is rarely a menace to society.
