Camara's Voyage Is Intended for Effect
in spain.
New York, June GA dispatch 20
the Tribune from London says: Ad-
miral Camara voyage to Port said
has been regarded by naval experts
here as a theatrical device for Inducing
Spanish people to believe that the Ma
drid government is not torpid but Is
capable of doing something. They have
considered 1t Incredible that he should

where he could only arrive without
coal and unprepared to meet Dewey
with a fleet well supplied and heavily
reinforced from san Francisco.
The only theory on which SO fool
hardy plan could be explained would
be a secret intrigue between Germany
and Spain by which their fleets might
act together. ard this supposition eN-
ceeds the bounds of credibility, mys-
terious as the German emperor's utter
ior purpose in the Philippines may be.
The prompt announcement from
Washington that an American fleet -
preparing TO sail for Spain is regarded
in naval circles here as a convenient
preteXt for the recall of Camara ;
squadron To home waters after a gro
tesque naval promenade through the
Mediterranean.
The question whether Camara will be
allowed TO pass through the Suez canal
is eagerly discussed here. There IS
nothing in the canal convention or IN
tcrnational law that stands in MS way
except the heavy charges for passage.

on the expedition stood the voyage well.
One of the most satisfactory points
reported by General Shafter is that the

support a troop OF cavalry with the big
guns of the heavy artillery as well as
with light field guns.
General Skaters dispatches speak of
the spirits OF the troops and of their
excellent health. They bring out also
that the commander is not in less spir-

of his dispatches With the laconic sem
tence that he hopes TO send favorable
reports soon.

Washington, June 29.-General SHAFT
ter has shown two important factors in
the campaign. First, that he expects TO
take the city as soon as he gets ready
to move. and that he will not wait for
reinforcements: second, that Spanish
reinforcements numbering 5000, accom-
panied by pack trains and large droves
of animals, are advancing from Man
zanillo to the relief of Santiago, and
are now "a miles from that city. A
number of dispatches have been re-
ceived from General Shafter covering all
the details of the present situation.
1t is about 100 miles from Manzanillo
to Santiago. so that the Spanish forces
had covered about one-half the dis
tance at the time they were located by
the American officers. This probably
was a day or two ago, for General SHAFT
ters dispatch was sent last night, and
in the meantime the spaniards probably
have advanced considerably further.
The droves of cattle which the Span
ish army is bringing along SHOWS a
purpose to lay in ample fresh meat in
anticipation of a siege. This and the
pack train hamper a rapid advance, but
even with a bad road the Spaniards will
probably make from 10 to 20 miles a
day Much reliance has been placed
on General Garcia's Cubans to prevent
this advance Of reinforcements from the
left. But 1t appears that Garca's en-
tire force has been Withdrawn from the
} left and is now with General Shafter' 5

%. / p. m.--The flying squadron, hith-
erto commanded by Commodore Schley,
has lost its identity by an order issued
to-day by Rear Admiral Sampson, and
it has been merged into the feet under
the admiral. The order caused con-
siderable surprise on board the Brook
lyn, which has been the flagship of the
flying squadron, where 1t was supposed
that the squadron would remain intact,
at least until the fall of Santiago de
Cuba. Commodore Schley has been as
signed to command the second squa-
dron attached to Admiral Sampson S
fleet.
From two Cuban officers picked up
by the Vixen it has been learned that
General Pando is moving eastward
from Manzanillo with $500 Spanish
troops for the purpose of assisting the
beleaguered city of Santiago de CUBA.
The Cubans had come to Acerraderos in
small boats with dispatches from Gen
eral Rios for Admiral Sampson and re-

against such practices in the future,
and sentinels have been placed to en-
force the order.
Strict orders have also been issued
about eating the tropical fruits. man.

try abounds. the only exception being
made to milk from green cocoanuts

themselves sick through eating fruit.
An epidemic of measles. which was
started on board one or two transports,
is spreading to the camp. and about 20
new cases have broken out to-day.
Our boys are cheerful in spite of the
excessive heat and the hard fare, which
thus far has been confined exclusively
to coffee, bareback and bacon. a diet
hardly suited for the climate. Rice
would make a splendid staple here. But
the great deprivation is that both m n
and officers are suffering from the lack
of tobacco.
The men are remarkable steady and
confident. The pickets show none OF
the nervousness which might be expect
ed and there are practically no alarms
or phantom firing on the lines al

Two accommodating parties. one of thf
9th cavalry and the other of the 2Atf
infantry, collided this morning, and sew
eral shots were exchanged. fortunately
without accident, before their identity
was established.

New York. June ga dispatch to
the Herald from Juragua, Cuba, via
Kingston, says: Information has been
received from Manzanillo to the effect
that five battalions of Spanish troops
which left that city several days ago
TO reinforce General Linares returned to
Manzanillo two days after their depart
ure. This is regarded as indicating the
failure of the Spanish attempt under
command Of General Pando to rush
10000 trained troops to the defense OF
Santiago. The information received
from Manzan.llo has set at rest the fears
of both the American and Cuban COM
manders. They believe that Pando's
men either We're unequal TO the difficult
march from Manzanillo TO Santiago or
else that General Linares, realizing the
hopelessness of his position. sent word
that it was useless to send additional
troops to that point

The Cubans have small force hang
