SENDS NEW S
Captain General Blanco's Account of On,
Army's Advance.
Strange American Ship Chased a Gum
boat and Captured Several
Spanish Vessels.

Copyright, 1893, by the Associated Press)
HAVANA, June 2S.-Delayed in trans
mission.)-It is said at the palace of the
captain general here, the headquarters for
official news, that the American forces are
finding difficulty in advancing upon San
tiago de Cuba.
1t is claimed that they followed the rail-
road track to Juragua from the mines situ-
ated a short distance from the coast. be-
tween Siboney and Aguadores, but were
unable to reach the latter place in spite of
the protection afforded by the fire of the
warships.
The commander of the Spanish gunboat
Ardila reports that while reconnoitering on
June 26. at Coloma, Punta Cortes. and
other places at Coyaela, he was informed
that strange steamer with one smoke
stack, apparently warship Of 5000 tons,
was in sight. The stranger soon caught
sight of the Ardilla and pursued her. The
gunboat kept within the Blue sea and sue
ceeded in keeping out of range of the guns
of her pursuer. To the southeastward the
stranger, which turned out to be an Ameri-
can ship, appeared to be in company with
several other vessels.
The Ardilla made reconnaissance on
the following day, June 27, and discovered
sloops Nemesia Of Batabano, province of
Havana; Amistad and Manuelita of Co.
Iona, province of Pinar del Rio, and the
pilot boats Luz and Jacinte. 1t is claimed
that when the sloops were sighted the
American 81 ip hoisted the Spanish flag,
which caused Pilot Joaquin Fernandez Of
the Luz to hoist the Spanish flag, believing
he had to do with a Spanish warship. The
pilot also approached the American vessel
and did not find out his mistake until a
blank shot and afterward loaded shells
were fired at the pilot boat. The shells, it
Is claimed, exploded near her.
The American ship by this time seemed
to have driven the Spanish craft into a
bunch. including the Luz, Jacinto, Amistad,
Nemesia and Manuelita. The latter, it is
further alleged, let go their anchors and
were abandoned by their crews, who made
for the shore, going in the direction of
Punta de Piedras, on the southwestern ex-
tremity of Pinar del Rio. between the Isle
of Pines and the mainland. The COM
mander of the Nemesia, with one of his
crew, remained on board his sloop and was
captured and taken on board the American
ship. Later he was set, at liberty, safter
having been questioned regarding the
Spanish fleet and the general situation of
affairs. y
The American ship is described as carry
ing one gun forward another at her stern
and four guns on each side. She is said to
have been commanded by ''frigate cap
tain" and to have carried about six hun
dred men, with blue pants and red fringe"
who said they were going to Cuba and af-
terward to Key West.

TROUBLES NEARLY ENDED
CITY OF COLUMBIA'S LIBELS ARE
DECIDED.
Rose Berliner's Case Thrown Out of
Court-Russell Colegrove Gets 81 900
His Brother Gets Nothing.

1t looks as though the City of Co
lumbia's troubles were nearly ended
Three libels against her were decided
this morning. Rose Berliner will
get nothing. Neither does b. H..
Colegrove. Russell Colegrove gets "a
Judgment for $1,000.
Russell Colegrove's libel was for
$4,000 DANCES for an alleged mali
cious and unjustifiable arrest. The
respondent in his answer admitted
the arrest and imprisonment, claim
ing that it was reasonable and justi-
fable under the circumstances, but
denying that any unnecessary force
was used in effecting the arrest or
that the place of confinement was TN
fit for such purpose. In his findings
of fact Judge Perry goes over the
row between B. II. Colegrove and Sol
omon Berliner, in which the latter
was struck over the head with be-
laying pin. Some passengers inter-
fered and the libellant hurried to the
scene and pulled his brother away
from Berliner. B. H. Colegrove was
first arrested by the captain, hand
cuffed and placed In a chain locker.
Russell Colegrove, the libellant, was
subjected to the same treatment a
few minutes afterward. Both were
kept in the chain locker till next day,
when they were taken out and plac-
ed in a second class state room. Dur.
ing the night they were furnished
with ice water, blankets, etc. When
taken out of the locker b. II. Cole
grove was all right, but the hbellant,
by reason of his nervous condition
and poor state of health, was in a
semi-unconscious state and had to be
assisted to the stateroom.
After considering the evidence of
the assault the court finds that while
the libellant did not instigate or in
cite it, all the difficulties between Ber-
liner and his brother arose from his
attentions to Rose Berliner. That un-
der the circumstances the captain, in
order to insure peace on board, would
have been justified in confning the
libellant in his own stateroom or in
any reasonable or proper place. His
confinement in the chain, locker was
unnecessarily harsh and the placing
him in irons unjustifiable, and enti-
tie him to damages therefor.
III tne nDel OF Is. Ii. ColegrOVe Tor
$1,000 damages for breach of contract,
Judge Perry decides that the libellant
has no lien for his services by virtue
of maritime law, nor is any lien Great
ed by the contract set forth. The IL
bel is accordingly dismissed. B. II.
Colegrove was to have been agent of
the new line at Honolulu at a salary
of 5000 per month, after reporting to
T. II. Davies for instructions.

ATTRACTIONS 70 CONE
WHAT HONOLULU WILL HAVE IN
AMUSEMENT WAY.
Large Number of Companies Wish to
Play This City-McKee Rankin, Al
cazar Theater Company and Opera.

The attention of q number of theat-
rical managers has been called to
Honolulu as a good field, and the
owners of the Hawaiian Opera House
have been deluged with letters lately
asking for the theater for the latter
part ofthis month and for the entire
month of November. The attractions
that wish to come are all, good, too, so
this city can look for first class en-
tertainment in the near future.
Among the attractions that desire
to come this year are: Miss Lizzie
VigoreauX and supporting company
of twelve people; this actress is well
known on the Pacific Coast, and has
an excellent repertoire; the Mckee
Rankin stock company, now playing
a season of four weeks at the Colum-
bia Theater, with Nance O'Neill; the
Belasco-Thall Alcazar Theater Com
pany with the First Born, The Girl |
Left Behind Me, and other successes.
One of the three companies mention
ed will surely appear in November
unless something unforeseen happens;
in that case, the time could be filled
with the Tivoli Opera Company or
ChLl DhdN SOllipdHN DOlu VI WHICH
are anxious to come.
So many offers have been made for
the theater that the booking of the
house for October and the early por-
ton of November was placed in the
hands of Mr.. Cockroft, the passenger
agent of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany at San Francisco, who is also the
San Francisco agent of the Hawaiian
Opera House. No positive advices were
received from that gentleman by the
last mail, but word is expected by the
incoming steamer that the theater has
been secured by one of the above at
fractions and it is believed that the
company will arrive here on the 26th
inst, and open at the theater on the
goth.
The fact that Mr.. Cockroft has Writ
ual control of the theater for the
present will prevent the owners here
from renting the house to any local
attraction. This will interfere
with the plans of a projected anna
teur entertainment. 1t is believed
that the people in charge will willing
ly postpone their show until after
the regular season. To many it seems
only fair to do this and thereby give
the professional company clear field.

OAHU COLLEGE At NA|ALUA.
OF PUPILS, TEACHERS
AND FRIENDS.
a Party of $50 Go Over the Oahu
Railroad to the Other End of the
Island.

Oahu College and Preparatory went
to Waialua today.
1t is a part of President Hosmer's
scheme of instruction to have pupils
actually see the things their tent
books treat of, as far as possible,
and to have them know that educa-
tion and instruction are not mere alb
stractions but have the closest connec-
ton with what is about us and con-
Germs our daily life.
In furtherance of this idea he plann-
ed today's excursion. Teachers and
pupils and parents and friends of the
pupils all went to Waialua this mor1-
ing over the Oahu railroad. At War;
lua they will have lunch in picnlc
style, each pupil carrying his own
lunch, but President Hosmer supply
ing the general facilities to make it
enjoyable.
On the trip the prominent geograph-
ical and landscape features of the
country will be pointed out. At Waia-
lua these things will be gone in,o
more in detail. Later, in the class
room, the connection between what
the pupils have actually seen and their
representation on the maps and de-
scription and explanation in the text
books will be pointed out. These and
essays on the trip and what was seen
and learned will be written. And
thus the excursion will be made thor
oughly educational in its character.
The party. pupils. instructors and
friends, numbered about one hundred
and fifty. 1t left on the 9:15 train.
and will return on late train this
afternoon.
This is not the first excursion Of
the kind Professor Hosmer has pro-
iected and carried out. Such excur-
sions are a part of the curriculum of
the college.

kerchiefs over their heads or shoul-

BEEF HIGHER.
Wholesale Price of Beef Goes Up One
Cent Pound.

The wholesale price of dressed beef
has been increased from cents per
pound to cents.
The increase has come through the
demand of the graziers for higher pri-
ces, due to the fact that the extraor-
dinary demand on account of the SOL
diers who have passed through here,
has lessened the supply, and given the
producers the practical control of the
market.
The decrease in grazing lands due
to the expansion of the sugar indus
try and the increasing population are
said to give the graziers a bright out
look for the future.
The retail price has not been af-
fected as yet. The retail dealers out
side of the Metropolitan Meat Compa-
ny, look on the change very dubious
ly. They say it practically absorbs
their profits and makes their outlook
very discouraging.
