Shafter is DESTROYS that it should be
known that the United States war de-
partment has in no way interfered

general adds that he was never ham
pered by the war department. and that
if the campaign III this vicinity had
failed. the fault would have been all
his own. The departments only par
ticipation in the operations was in rat
flying the terms OF the Spanish forces.
General Shafter has requested that

Of the fact that the department has
been criticised for faulty management.

them being hospital ship. have left
the island of Martinique. They are eX-
pected here tomorrow. In addition

The American general has also au-
thorized the Spanish officers to char

TROOPS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Dakota Volunteers and Colorado Re
cruits Sailed Yesterday.

San Francisco, July 29-The Third
battalion, First South Dakota volun-
teers and the Minnesota and Colorado
recruits, sailed today to join their COM
rades in the Philippines. The St. Paul
will carry the troops to their destina-
ton.
A feet of tugs, steamers and launches
gathered about the St. Paul and acted
as an escort and on shore the wharves
were lined with people, who waved
farewell to the departing troops. The
rigging of the transport was filed with
soldiers, and two men, anxious to Sc
cure a lofty perch, climbed up to the
mastheads. from which points they
waved flags. The soldiers were saluted
by steam whistles and bells. and the
cheers of the soldiers filed the air as
they passed down the bay
Major Ruhlen, chief quartermaster,
and the two physicians on the govern
ment board of inspection, inspected the
Lakme and North Fork today. Ac-
cording to contract the Lakme was to
be ready to sail tomorrow, but it is now
improbable that she will get away be-
fore Monday. She will carry the First
battalion of the New York volunteers
and the battalion of engineers will be
transported on the North Fork. The
Second battalion of the New York reg
iment will follow on the Charles Mel
son, and the Third battalion may go
on the Mariposa, or wait until another
transport has been secured

DISCOUNTED sPAN1ARD.
Governor OF Santiago Resents Inter
ference From Shafter.

Santiago de Cuba, July 2S.-General
Shafter says he has not made certain
statements attributed to him in an in
terview en- the subject of the attitude
assumed by General Garcia, and he
complains that the alleged trouble be-
t.cen himself and Senior Ros, the civil
governor Of Santiago. is a very small
matter indeed. Senior Ros is ruffled at
General Shafter not allowing him COM
plete control of the civil administra-
ton Of the entire section of Santiago
de Cuba which has been surrendered TO
the American forces. Senior Ros con-
siders himself the supreme civil au-
thority, basng his claims upon the
state paper issued by President McKin-
ley on July IS, and providing in gen.
era1 terms for the government of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, which
contains the following clause:
The judges and other officials con-
nected with the administration of jus
tice may. if they accept the suprem-
acy OF the United States, continue to
administer the ordinary law of the land
as between man and man, under the
supervision of the American comman-
der-in-chief."
Senior Kos. it is understood, resents
General Skaters so-called interference
with his duties. A little cloud arose
over the fact that Senior Ros dis
charged three employees and substi-
tuted for them the brothers of his own
friends. Tie discharged employees
complained to General Shafter who or
de~el theta reinstatement. Since then
Senior Cos has been slightly rufied, but
he is continuing TO discharge his duties
as General Skaters subordinate. The
trouble was really insignificant. but
Senior Ros and his three friends being
Cubans, the matter was magniffsd in
their circles. Senior Ros simply obeyed
General Skaters orders without pro-
tess, though he may have murmured
behind his back.

Chicago, July 29.-Ia Bourgogne

P. ]. O'Flaherty, manager of the In

an interview today, referring to the
decision of the court of inquiry, held at

French liner, Mr.. O'Flaherty said to a
representative of the Associated Press:
''AGvices from Halifax say the La

probably about 40 minutes. while five
minutes would have sufficed to have
effectively closed the hole in the ships

the Halifax court as to the La Bour-

recommendations are made to induce
ship companies to pay more attention
to life-saving apparatus than hereto
