Troops from the auxiliary cruisers
Yale and ST. Paul have been landing
in the rain all day, and have been
going into camp wet and miserable.
1t has been a bad experience for the
raw troops, but they will be pushed
right on to the front tomorrow.
The beach is lined with the splutter-
ing campfires Of the new arrivals. The
men are clustering about the feeble
flames in dismal groups, many of them
without the slightest shelter from the
tropical downpour.
The fleet was inactive all day. The
Brooklyn occupied position about five
miles west Of the harbor entrance. and
the remainder of our warships were
strung along the coast as far east as
JuragUa. AT the latter point the flag
ship New York lay nearly all day.
Rear Admiral Sampson and General
Miles were frequently in communica-
ton during the forenoon.
Several of our ships, including the
Newark, with Commodore Watson on
board, spent the day coaling at Guam

General Miles Will Not Interfere
in the Campaign.

OFF JURAGUA. July -. p. m.
via Kingston (Jamaica), July ID, 10
a. m.-General Miles said to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press:
Il have not come down here to COM
mand, and shall probably remain but
a few days. 1t is too late to make
any changes in the plan of campaign
even if | desired to do so. But have
no complaint to make. Things seem to
be moving in good shape. / intend to
look over our lines and positions and
study the situation thoroughly, but I
will not interfere in the conduct of the
campaign. This is likely to be the
only trip I shall make to the 'front.'
The last two days have been the
worst of the campaign, so far as the
weather is concerned. Fierce tropical
thunderstorms have been frequent, with
an almost continuous downpour of rain.
The rifle pits and trenches at the front
have been flooded, and last night few

Italy Determined to Obtain Pay
ment Of the Garrett Claim.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The State
Department has been notified that the
Italian Government has determined to
adopt force in the payment by the Re
public of Colombia Of the arbitration
award made by President Cleveland in
favor of Ernesto Cerruti, an Italian
citizen, amounting to $4,000.
To this end the Italian Government
has summarly closed diplomatic ne
gotiations with the Colombian Minis
ter at Rome and has notified Admiral
Candiani to proceed with the Italian

burned under the orders Of the army
and health authorities. Almost every
building of the fifty which struggled
among the irregular bluffs was set fire
to during the day, and the Cuban in
habitants have fed to the caves in the
overhanging hillside for shelter.
This action was taken at the urgent
request of Major Legaro of the Hos
pital Corps, and served the joint pur-
poses of Kidding the camp of the I'M
healthy and dirty things and driving
away scores of Cuban followers whose
presence was a serious inconvenience
to the hospital workers. The burning
of the houses also extended along the
trail to the front, and numerous block
houses We're destroyed, together with
dwellings. The action was decided up
on last night, and early this morning
the long wooden building at the ex-
treme end Of the trail, the one which
had served as division headquarters
in the early days Of the landing and
later as a Postoffice, was set on fire.
The building was one of the most i'm
posing in the city, with its long YER
andas and wel-built stoop, and as the
flames burst from the windows and
swept over the roof the Cuban jewellers
in the neighboring houses began to
rush for safety. They We're assisted
by a detachment of soldiers in rempv-
ing their effects, and the buildings
We're set on fire as rapidly as vacated.
The others, wooden structures ordinari-
ly, would have burned like finder, but
the heavy rains made the flames slow
in spreading The burning houses
filled the camp with sitting black
smoke, which was visible for miles.
In spite Of the protests of the ragged
Cubans, the work of destruction pro-
ceeded steadily all day.
The building in which field telegraph
and telephone offices were located
shared the common fate.
The work was not completed until
after dark. when the torch was applied
to the last building of the town. The
debris will be cleared away as rapidly
| as possible, and many more hospital
tents will be pitched on new sites.

He went to several farm houses, looked in at the door, saw all he wished to see, took all that was in reach, gave the trotted off down the road. Men and dogs were soon in pursuit. and the dogs quickly overlook the animal, and were sorry for it in few moments. After giving the dogs all the possible excitement they could stand the strange beast continued its journey mountainward.
