FROM SHAFTER
Miles and Alger Receive News Of
the Plans of the General
at Santiago.
He Will Take the City Just as
Soon as He Is Ready
to Do So,
And If Possible Before the Eight
A Thousand Spanish Troops
Arrive.

WASHINGTON, June 80. - General
Ehafter has reported two most import
ant developments in the military situa-
Sion at Santiago.
First, that he expects to take tbs city
~ soon as he gets ready to move, and
shat he will not wait for reinforce
ments Second, that the Spanish rein.
forcements, numbering 5000, accom-
panied by pack trains and large droves
of animals, are advancing from Man
emilio to the relief OF Santiago, and
are now 81 miles from that city.
A number of dispatches have been
received from General Shafter, cover
ing all the details Of the present mill
Gary situation. Some of them are to
Ehe secretary Of war, others to Major
General Miles. They cover substan-
italy the same ground. It is evil
IDENTIFY General Skaters purpose
Not to Wait For Reinforcements
now going forward to him, but to make
his attack before the 5000 Spanish
troops approaching from the west can
reach the city. The statement that
they are now but "a miles from San
fiago is the most definite information
thus far received. It about 100 miles
from Manzanillo to Santiago, so that
1he Spanish forces have covered about
half the distance at the time they Were
located by the American officers. This
probably was day or two ago, for
General Skaters dispatch was sent
last night, and in the meantime the
Spaniards undoubtedly have advanced
considerably further. The droves OF
cattle and the pack trains hamper a
rapid advance, but even with bad
road. the Spanlards probably will make
from 10 to 20 miles day.
ssarcia's Troops We're Transferred.
Much reliance had been placed on
General Carcass Cubans, to prevent
this advance of reinforcements from
the lett. But it appears that Garcia's
entire force has been withdrawn from
the left and has now been landed with
General Skaters force ON the right.
General Shafter also reports the de-
tails of this transfer of Garcia's force.
He says the transfer from Acerrederos
covered 50 miles, and that 3, 900 Of Gar
cia's troops were landed on the right Of
the harbor, making in all over 1000
Cubans concentrated with the Amer.
ican troops Oh the right of the city.
This movement was doubtless made
before word reached General Shafter
that the Spanish reinforoements
we're 81 miles to the west of Santiago,
else it is felt that Garcia forces would
have been kept OH the left to hamper
the advance Of the Sprniards and hold
them back if possible. Whether this
can be done now is problematic. From
She fact that General Shafter reports
that he will take the city as soon as he
can get ready to move before reinforce
ments reach him, it is evident that he
wishes to strike the blow before there
is time for the Spanish troops from
1anzanillo to reach the city.

KILLED AT THE BATTLE CT LA QUASINA
Spaniards and Colonel Young's and
Colonel Woods commands.
The officers are highly complimented
for their dash and courage
The general says there is absolutely
no warrant for the statement that orr
troops were ambnscaded. He says the
attack was deliberately planned from
knowledge in his possession the night
before.
As soon as the remaining battalions
of the Thirty.fourts Michigan and the
Eighth Massachusetts which arrive on
the Harvard, and the 5000 reinforce
menrs sent out from Tampa reach
here, Aguadores will be taken.
The place was shellcd today by sew
eral ships OF the feet. Aguadores is
on the line of the advance Of the army
into the interior and close to the rail-
road. It will then probably become
the base Of operations, while the sup.
ply base may remain at Juragua.

IIONOLULU'S PLAN TO BUILD \
NAVAL MONSTER.
Every American and Sympathizer to
Give One Days Salary-Timely Sug-
gestion by Mr. McStocker.

Frank b. McStocker, one of the
real big Americans of Honolulu, made
a suggestion to the meeting of the
One Hundred yesterday afternoon
mat will undoubtedly meet the hear
ty approval of hundreds and thous-
ands of people of the Hawaiian Is
lands. 1t is no less than scheme to
help present Uncle Sam with a splen-
did battleship for his navy.
The plan suggested is for every
American and every sympathizer in
the country to give one days salary
to a fund This would mean from $500
to $500 for certain very wealthy men,
500 for others and down to $S, So and
50 for others at the bottom of the lad
der. 1t is plain that would mean Il
nice lump sum. BY the system, too,
the collection would fall equally up
on shoulders in proportion to their
several abilities.
The commercial travellers of Ohio
started such plan. In few days
the idea had spread through contigu-
Gus states, with the result that the
first days receipts amounted to $780,
600. With the assistance of the
"drummers" of the balance of the
Union one of the biggest and finest
of battleships will be presented to
Uncle Sam.
Inspired by this movement the Rus
sian Jews of America have begun to
work to the same end. They have a
debt of gratitude to the government,
and. in this plan, are enthusiastical-
ly paying it. At last accounts very
large sum had been collected by the
Jews, and they were preparing rapid
ly to put their scheme into effect.
AS is well known the school chill
dren of America are engaged in sim
liar purpose. From the Atlantic to
the Pacific they are collecting togeth-
er dollars, thousands and millions
When the battleship is finished, un-
der government supervision of course
it will be formally turned over to a
committee of children from each OF
the forty-seven states.
1t is into one of these funds that
the contribution from Hawaii would

present idea.--Bu if annexation sooI

suggestion, to read ga battleship tc

THE COURTESIES OF WAR.
Compliments Exchanged Between Ad-
miral Dewey and Admiral Montejo.

John T. McCutcheon, the Chicago
Records correspondent who Witness
ed the engagement at Manila from
the dispatch boat McCulloch, which
was in the action, thus describes the
courtesies that passed between the
defeated Admiral Montejo and the
victorious Admiral Dewey, after the
fight:
In spite of his overwhelming de-
feat Admiral Montejo did not forget
the courtesies of the occasion. On
Monday he sent word by the British
Consul to Admiral Dewey that he
wished to compliment the Americans
on their craftsmanship. He said that
never before had he witnessed such
rapid and accurate firing.
Admiral Dewey, not to be outdone
in the amenities of war, sent his com
pliments to the Spanish admiral and
praised the Spaniards very highly for
their courage and resistance. He said
that the Spanish force was stronger
than he had believed it would be be-
fore his arrival at the harbor. and he
had really expected n shorter and less
stubborn battle. 1t is said that this
message, although complimentary to
the Spanish, did not give Admiral
Monteio any real comfort"

SENATOR CANNON's VIEWS.

CHICAGO, May 1S.-A special from
Washington says: II do not believe
that there will be any great naval
BATTLE" remarked Senator Cannon.
ut is Spain's intention not to fight if
she can escape us. My opinion is that
the Spanish cruisers will attempt to
steal along the Atlantic coast and to
lombard our cities. Spain does not
want to try another bout with us af-
ter the experience that Admiral
Dewey gave them"
The opinion of the leaders in Con-
gress is that until they know the re-
suit of the naval battle which is to
take PLACE whenever Sampson and
Schley catch the Spanish fleet, final
adjournment will not be considered.

TONS OF SHOT AND SHELL.

There are some very interesting fig
ures as to the amount of firing done
by our ships during the battle of
Manila, says John T. McCutcheon in
the Chicago Record. The Olympia
fired 1,764 shells, aggregating twenty
ty-five tons in weight The Baltimore
did even heavier firing, being called
upon to reduce the forts after the en-
gagement, and sent no less than thlr-
ty-five tons of metal into the Spanish
ships and land batteries. The remain
der of the fleet shot total of eighty
tons of metal, making a grand total
of 140 tons.
