Atlantic Coast Cities Are Safe.

Atlantic Coast Cities Are sara
Washington, July 2O.-The naval war
board today held a conference with the
president, arranging the final details
regarding Watson's cruise.
Secretary Long said that no appre-
hension whatever existed over the
Spanish threat that the Camara squad
ron woud be divided, part OF the ships
coming to this side to attack seaport
cities. This is looked upon as sheer
bluff, and it will not have the effect OF
changing the navy plans or OF with
drawing any ships for patrol service on
the Atlantic coast. Should the Span
ish threat be made good, ships more
than a match for any Of Camara's ves-
sells would be available at any Atlantic
port on short notice.
Disasters to Vessels in Alaskan Waters.
San Francisco, July 20.-A report re-
garding disasters to shipping in Alas
kan waters has been received from E.
Anders, collector of customs at St.
Michaels. He says that only two of the
recently constructed river boats-the
Louise and the Leah-are likely to
reach Dawson this year. Besides the
vessels already reported wrecked on the
way to St. Miohaels, the bark Rufus
E. Wood lost her river steamer over
board, the old tug Governor Stoneman
lost barge with large quantity OF
freight when the river broke up, and
| the IL steamers sent out from Seattle
on June by Moran Brothers were
counted among the missing on July 7.
Relief Ship Enters the Harbor.
Playa del Este, July 19.-At
O'Clock, the hour of the surrender of
the troops at Santiago, and the 10000
others in the district, the Spanish flag
was lowered from MORO castle.
This afternoon, the torpedoes were
taken up or exploded, after which the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas en-
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded. The warships may not enter
the harbor for several days, probably
not until the arrangements have been
completed for transporting the Spanish
prisoners to Spain. Nearly all the
American warships are now in Guam
tanamo bay. Commodore Watson's
squadron is preparing to 60 to Spain,
and several vessels are preparing for
the expedition to Porto Rico The
auxiliary cruiser Yale, with General
Miles, will probably leave for Porto
Rico in the course of a day or two.
General Miles says a sufficient force
will be sent to the island at once to
take it and hold it.
