steamer swung into place. her coming hav-
ing been announced from Port Townsend.
Lying on the decks were many evidences
that she came from a tropical cline Ba-
nanas, pneappies and other southern
fruits were pleasant reminders Of the
warmth OF Hawaii and the furnishings of
the ship were such as 10 insure COM
fort in torrid ATTITUDES. The day was a
warm one here but the contrast TO the
high temperature of the south was most
noticeable in the shivering, blue-nosed peo-
pie who stood on deck awaiting an oppor-
tunity 10 go ashore.
The freight OF the Centennial consisted
Of 36S punches Of bananas for Gordon &

Had there been the sama rough weather
for the Centennial thar the Columbia ex-
perienced. it is possible that the former
would have d-ifte6 around the Pacific in
the same helpless condition OF the Serath-

100 pounds Of coal IN her bunkers when
she tied up at the Yesier wharf yesterday
afternoon. Only the most desirable wealth
or possible 81 this time OF year enabled her
to get through without stopping her en-
gines
The engineers would make no statement
as 20 the reason for the shortage, beyond
admitting that there was barely enough
coal 10 get her 10 the dock.
Capt. Whitney said; We took on what
We thought was a sufficient supply OF coal
at Horolulu for the trip, but the delay at

WAR COUNCIL
Considers The Progress of The War.

Considers The Progress of The War.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-A council
of war begun at the white house at
1915 this morning. There were pre-.
sent the president, Secretary Alger,
Secretary Long, and:the members of
the war board, Admiral Sicard and
Captains Crowninshield and Mshsn.
The subject of the conference is not
known, but it is supposed that the in
vasion of Porto Rico and the dispatch
of Watson's squadron to the coast of
Spain were under consideration.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Maj. Genl.
John d. Brooke, commanding the first
army corps, arrived at Washington to-
day and visited the war department..
Secretary Alger had entered the white
house for war conference when he
arrived, but left Immediately and went
into conference with the adjutsnt gen.
eral regarding the proposed invasion
of Porto Rico.
Secretary Alger after the confer
ence ended said that the government
is entirely satisfied with the situation
in and around Santiago. There is no
longer any doubt that the surrender of
Toral and his army is final and COM
plete. "They have unconditionslly
accepted our terms" ADDED
the secretary, land the
next thing is to provide ships to send
the prisoners back to Spain. We will
advertise at once for ships to be used
as transports. The Spaniards will re-
tain their side arms. That is always
customary, and it is the only concession
made to Genl Toral''.
WASHINGTON, July, 16.----After
noon today, before any senators or re-
resentatives who called at the white
house could have a word with the pre-
sident, Secretary Day had long con.
ference. At it's conclusion several con-
gressmen were ushered in. They said
the president talked good deal about
the war. Peace overtures. however,
thenation's executive admitted had
not been actually made.
The president talked to callers as il
he hoped for a change in the situation
that would soon lead to a cessation OF
hostilities. but he feared the war might
last four or FIVE months because the
Spaniards are not disposed to give up
their possessions without long con-
troversy, even though Madrid must
know that struggle with the United
States in hopeless one for Spain.

In Spain Owing To Fear of Watson.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Dispatches
from Spain via Gibraltar declare that
there is almost panic at several of
the Spanish ports which expect q
visit from Commodore Watson and the

points supposed to be threate ned.

SIBoNEY, July Is, via Playa del Este,
July 16.-The doctors advise that in or

larger part of the troops ought to be
sent home until fall. They fear the
climate here. Officials are seriously
considering going back to Guantsna-
mo from this place for establishing the
great camp. There is fine harbor,
and clothing and supplies can easily be
landed and stored without danger of
disease. There has not been a case of
sickness since the marines have been

TO SPAIN.
Plans For Watson's Expedition Still
Unsettled. .

OnSCIllCO.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The navy
department has decided to hold Wat
sons squadron five or six days, as the
auxiliary cruiser Yankee at Norfolk
cannot join the others within that per-
iod. The department this morning
explained that the nature of the squad
ron's movements depended upon cir
cumstsnces
The fall of Santiago, the talk of
peace, and the decision to proceed inn
mediately upon Porto Rico
all have bearing on Wat.
sons instructions. Owing to the
need of armored ships to attack the.
Notifications at San Juan, the squad
ron may be delayed in starting for
Spain, until after that place has been
bombsrded, as the services of the bat
tleships Oregon and Massachusetts
will be OF great assistance to the other
vessels in reducing the Spanish de-
fenses there.
No more ships have been added to
the squadron, although naval authori-
ties think it advisable to do so. At
present, however, the navy depart
ment adheres to its intention to send
Watson to Spain with the Newark,
Oregon, Massachusetts, Yankee, Dix
lie, and Yosemite, ,augumenting the force
later with second stronger squadron,
probably under SIMPSONS command.
Watson is being held in allegiance
pending the settlement of the question
as to whether American or neutral ves-
sells will be used to transport Toral's
captive forces to Spain. If neutral
vessels are chartered an escort of
United States warships would not be
necessary, but it is explained that If
American transports only can be Sc
cured strong convoy would be proba-
bly, sent and the government could thus
kill two birds with one stone.
