WATSON'S SQUADRON
His Ships to Be Rushed. to, the Shores
of Spain Without DELAY

. WASHINGTON, July 6.-(Special to .
The Herald.) The navy department is .
. arranging for the earliest possible .
dispatch of the eastern squadron to .
the Spanish coast. The orders to .
Commodore Watson have not been Q
changed by recent events, except that .
their execution was delayed yesterday .
by the telegram sent to Sampson to .
. confer with Shafter on a plan for the .
. capture of the approaches to Santiago .
. harbor. While these plans are in pro- .
. cess of perfection, Commodore Watson .
will not get orders to sail. 1t Is possible .
. that II Sampson determines to make .
land attack from the east, a large .
. squadron will be needed to shell the .
. approaches three miles from Moro, .
Q and the line will advance on the pla- .
. teau on which it stands. 1t Is these .
. propositions which delay the sailing .
. of Watson. He is under orders to pro- .
. coed and preparations have been made .
for his departure. His first point of .
oattack will be the Canaries, then the .
Q coast of Spain, and eventually he may .
be dispa tched to look up Camara .

AN IMPROBABLE STORY
SANTIAGO SAID TO BE ADAM
DoNED FOR PORTO RICO
A Correspondent Claims the War Of
= ficials Are Considering Such
Move-Alger Opposes It

WASHINGTON, July 6.-(Special to The
Herald) shall Santiago be abandoned?'
The president and his advisers and the war
and the navy departments are seriously
debating this question. News as to the re-
suit of the conference between Admiral
Sampson and General Shafter is being
anxlously awaited. The problem is vex-
atious one and If Shafter and Sampson fail
to reach a conclusion as to the plan for
the attack on Santiago. most Of the army
may be withdrawn from Santiago and the
immediate advance on Porto Rico be Or
dered. The war department claims that
the forcing of Cervera's squadron out of
the harbor was due to the land siege Of
Santiago, that the army has in fact accom-
plished all it was required or expected to
do at Santiago, that is to assist in the cap
ture or destruction of Cervera's fleet. The
capture or destruction of this fleet was I'M
auestionaby the whole purpose of Shat
ter's expedition to Santiago. The point is
made that nothing is to be gained by the
reduction of Santiago except an old ruined
city. A strong sentiment here favors the
immediate capture Of Porto Rico, a plan
which the president and General Miles are
understood to favor, while the secretary
of war. holding a different view, maintains
that the army cannot abandon the reduc-
ton of Santiago.
Those who favor the immediate invasion
of Porto Rico declare that the land assault
at Santiago means the loss of at least 5000
men with no substantial gain to compen
safe.
The situation is that Shafter is unable to
cope with the strongly reinforced and en-
trenched enemy and Sampson is faced by
Morro's guns and channel lined with
mines and torpedoes.

Some Famous Heads

Mr.. Gladstone's head was,' it is we'll
known. of exceptional size. The story he
told at Lord Ripon's once about the man
who could not get a hat large enough till
at last the halter called in desperation for
an Aberdeen hat, may well enough have
been his own experience. The compliment
to Aberdeen was no doubt relished in the
Granite city. DR.. Collins once gave to
the world the result of a special study In
hats, in the course of which it was men,
toned that Mr.. Gladstones number In
hats was 49, The hatter's number is ar
rived at by taking the mean in length and
breadth. Thus a hat IN by 61d is a num-
Der hat which Is the average English
size. Lord Beaconfield's hat was this
size, John Bright's IN. Lord John Russell :
IA, all smaller than Mr.. Gladstone's. But
the Gladstone hat was exceeded in size by
that of DR.. Chalmers, TX, and Joseph
Hume's was emphatically abnormal-sN
DR.. Collins had 126 hats measured at a
meeting Of convocation of London univer-
sity, and found that between 40 and Al
per cent were above the English average
No. z; between 25 and 26 per cent were just
the average size. and "a per cent were I'M

THE CHICAGO STRIKE
|sTEREoTYPERS LOSE THE STRIKE
AND ARE OUT OF WORK
The Daily Papers Resume Publication
but Reduce the Size-Abundance
of Labor offered

CHICAGO, July 6.-President Prescott Of
the International Typographical Union, who
came from Indianapolis to make an investi-
cation, decided that the strike of the stereo-
| typers employed on the Chicago newspa-
pers was illegal and that they should have
| adhered to their contracts, as the Stereo-
| typers' Union is subordinate to the Typo
graphical Union.
This decision opened the way to the news
papers to resume publication. Accordingly
all of the morning papers were issued today,
but reduced in size to only four pages, the
stereotype plates having been made by nom
union men. The afternoon papers also ap-
peared in the same form, having engaged
new men. Tomorrow the size Of all the pa
pers will be doubled, and 1t is expected by
Friday the usual number of pages can be
gotten out.
AS the newspaper publishers have agreed
not to have anything to do with the Stereo-
typers' Union hereafter, the 200 men who
struck last Friday night will have difficulty
in finding work in Chicago, as many non
union stereotypers from other cities have
come out and more are said to be on the
