dor is a trim little vessel and will
sell for good round sum,
The Labrador now lies near the

BRINGING THEM HOME
WOUNDED SOLDIERS GO TO FORT
MONROE
Spanish Prisoners Will Be Confined in
Fort McPherson-Plenty Of
Food for All

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
There has been some question as to the
delay In sending back the transports that
are at Santiago. Their failure to return Is
explained by the fact that they are held to
bring back the wounded. The present pro-
pram is to place the injured men upon the
transports and bring them to this country.
Fort Monroe will be their destination.
This military reservation at the entrance to
Chesapeake bay will be turned into mill
tary hospital. 1t is admirably located for
the purpose. 1t is so far north as to be re-
moved from the objectonrs which attach
to Florida points on account of the heat, and
there is ample accommodation for all the
wounded men. The transports will also be
taken to Fort Mcpherson, near Atlanta, and
will be held until the close of the war. The
feeding of these prisoners, as we'll as the
starving people of Santiago, has been fully
provided for in the arrangements made by
the subsistence department of the army.

NO LONGER NEEDED
Why the Foreign Warships Left the
Bav of Manila

WASHINGTON, July 5.-As yet the
state department has received NO confirma-
ton of the statement, which reached here
from London, that upon the arrival at
Manila of the American land forces, sew
eral warships of Germany and other Eu-
ropean powers, which had been there for
some time, left Immediately for other ports.
In official circles, however, the announce
ment is regarded as authentic.
1t is pointed out that the only possible
pretext under which forces from foreign
men-of-war could have been landed in
Manila would be the protection Of the lives
or interests Of their own countrymen resi-
dent there. State department officials say
that, with the arrival of the American re-
Inducements for Admiral Dewey, the dan
ger to foreigners in Manila was elimin-
ated from the situation, and that large
numbers of warships probably left, merely
because thir presence was no longer neces-
sary.

A STANDSTILL
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Of 1876 pounds. Aside from them there are
four modern howitzers, with guns Of smaller
caliber. These are in the heavy artillery
while the light artillery embraces great
number of q caliber. Combined, this fire
from the land and sea would be terrific In its
effect
Saving Their People
The action of the foreign representatives
at Santiago has been an additional reason
for deferring the bombardment. 1t was
made known late today that one of General
Skaters dispatches stated that these repre-
sentatives had Joined in a request to put
off the Smelling of the city for another brief
period until their respective colonies could
be removed. This accounts for the depar-
ture of the foreign warships from Santiago
harbor, as they are bearing away the for
egn residents in the period before the bonn
bardment begins. The activity of the con-
suls at Santiago has led to no diplomatic
complication which has reached the state
department thus far, and the authorities
here believe that nothing will develop.
Spelling Their Fun
The state department to day took occasion
to dispel some of the Spanish illusions over
the escape of Cerveras fleet. 1t seems that
Madrid is not alone in the belief that the
fleet made a handsome sortie from Santiago
and left the American ships far In the rear.
Today cablegram came from United
States Minister Lunis at Caracas saying the
Spanish residents there were clarifying the
naval victory. The minister was informed
briefly that Cerevra's fleet had been de-
stroyed, the admiral made prisoner and
that General Shafter had demanded the sur
render of the city.
The definite official report that reached
here today that the Spanish fleet had en-
tered the Suez canal made no change in the
plans of the navy department as to sending
Commodore Watson's squadron to the coast
of Spain. Secretary Long said 1t would
start at the earliest possible moment. but
he did not care to give the day of departure.
Schley Stayed Them
The humiliation of the Spanish fleet con-
tinues to be an absorbing topic among naval
officials and they are giving most generous
praise to Commodore Schley for the noble
manner in which he destroyed the feet
when the immediate command fell to his
lot. The commodore's friends have long
predicted that If he secured an opportunity
he would render good account of the fight
ing ability of the American navy and they
are glad the opportunity was finally
reached.
1t is perhaps the greatest achievement in
a long line with which Commodore Schley's
list has been associated. The others in
clude the relief of the Greedy Arctic expe-
dition and the command Of the Baltimore at
Valparaiso as a result of a mob attack on
the American blue jackets.
