WAR BOARD
Maps Out Work For The Navy.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The war
board was in session at the white
house for more than an hour this
morning. After the meeting Secretary
Long said the general situation had
been carefully gone over and the pres
ident and his advisers were all satisfied
with existing conditions. The very
significant remark was made by Long:
.'Our principal business today was to
find something for the navy to do in
the near future"
The secretary was not inclined to
tell just what the navy expected to do
but from other sources it was learned
that navy work has been mapped out
in Porto Rican campaign. Secretary
Long said that from the best informa-
tion at hand the Monterey ought to
reach Manila the third or fourth of
August: and he thought the Monadnock
wOuldiarrive there week later.
The president is deeply interested in
the expedition under Miles, and every.
thing possible is being done to hurry
along troops and supplies.

CUBANS GET GAY.
1t Will Be Difficult To Control
Them.

SANTIAGO July 23.-Word is receiv-
ed that battle was fought Wednes-
dey between the Spsniards and Cubans
18 miles east of Guantanamo. The
Cubans were defeated. The Spanish
soldiers say thnt though they surrend-
cred to the Americans no Cubsns will
be permitted to pass between their
lines. 1t is believed trouble will fol-
low between the Americans and Gu
bans as it will be next to impossible to
prevent the latter from plundering in
remote towns on the withdrawal of the
Spanish garrisous. The Cubans looted
some of the houses in the outskirts of
Santiago and stole number of horses.
Spanish residents of the city like
McKinley's proclamation and seem
we'll satisfied with their condition as
subject to the government of the Unit
ed States. The work of cleaning the
streets and putting the city in good
sanitary condition has begun in earn
est. The Red Cross is feeding twenty
thousand daily.
The camp is now free from every
form of epidemic. 1t is believed the
majority of cases reported as slow few
er were really mslarial fever. Those
sick OF fever are ali military people.

fully week before the battle of San
Juan can occur. More than thirty
| thousand soldiers will be en- route by

day night.
Smokeless powder will be used. The
expedition is perfect in every detail.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The brig
ade commanded by Gen. Fred Grant
Rico via Newport News. 1t will leave
Chickamauga as soon as railroad &C
cOmmodations for the troops can be Sc
cured. Five troops of cavalry at Camp
Alger will go for service to Porto Rico
and were today ordered to Newport
News for shipment.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Gen. Miles
and his transports will reach the place
of debarkation in Porto Rico tomor-
row. There will be no unnecessary
delay in disemba barking the troops as
Miles wishes to have the transports re-
ly for the remainder of the Porto
Rican army. He will es-
tablish base of supplies to which the
subsistence department will i'm
mediately begin to make shipments.
In this way supplies will arrive with
or ahead of the troops, and rations in
abundance will be on hand.
CHATTANOOGA, July 23.-All is &C
tivity in every department today. Gen.
Brooke may possibly not get away be-
fore tonight.

ing all the frs corps.

were received last night from the war
department by tie authorities 10
charge Of loading the transports for
the Porto Rico expedition. The work
of getting the troop ships ready for
sailing has been long drawn out and
the war department wants an explsna-
tion of the delay. The fact is the
transports have been loaded as fast ss
supplies could reach the port.
The entire fleet. consisting of nine
ships, will sail today or tomorrow.
The Cherokee will be the flagship and
on her will sail Generals Schwan anG
Rogers, with their stalls.

PORTO RICO
Will Be Approached On Three Sides

Will Be Approached On Three Sides.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The gov
ernment intends to fill out three Porto
Rican expeditions which will land on
three sides of the island and form a
circle around San Juan, and it is
thought that within few weeks after
the landing, Gen. Miles will control
the entire territory.
The first expedition under Gen. Miles
will land at Guanacoa and proceed to
Jose. From there they will go to Pom
ce by rail and from Ponce to San Juan
on a road which is good in either the
rainy or dry season. The expedition
commanded directly by Miles will wait
for the Porto Rican representatives
under command of Gen. L. 'Luvres who
will join Miles at Guanacoa.
The next expedition will land at F'aj-
ardo. south of San Juan. The third will
land at one of the small places on the
north coast. From here they will cut
off the retreat of the Spanish forces.
If Gen. Miles gets control of the cable
in Ponce he can communicate directly
with the United States via Galveston.
This cable however has no communica-
tion with the San Juan line.

YELLOW fever.
A Sharp Watch Kept.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Surgeon
General Site nberg stated this morn
ing that one case of suspected yellow
fever had developed among the San
tiago soldiers now in the hospital at
Fort Monroe. When the report was
received he directed that the patient
be isolated.
Gen. Sternberg will 90 to Fort Mon
roe today. In regard to Florida the
surgeon general said no yellow fever
has been reported to him. The sick
ness among soldiers at all the camps is
due chiefly to typhoid fever and
pneumonia.
NEWPORT News, July 23.-1t is
now certain that no yellow fever ex-
lists in the Fortress Monroe hospital.
A fever expert has examined all sus-
picious cases and has expressed the
opinion that none CT them are yellow
fever nor are they liable to develop in
to the dreaded disease.
NEW YORK, July 23.-The army
hospital steamer Relief arrived this
afternoon. She has aboard q number
of sick and wounded from Santiago.
The Relief has six yellow fever sus-
puct cases on board. All others are
doing well.

From North Oregon Street.

Now the residents of NortL Oregon
street come out with another kick as
to the way the telephone people have
set their telephone poles in the gut
ters, making q barrier to the water
which comes down from the hills in q
pretty good stream whenever it
rains.
One of the citizens from that part of
town said: I'VE we're just beginning
to feel good over the way the street
was looking after the little cleaning
the city gave it and it really did look q
hundred per cent better than it has
for long time. Now the telephone
people set their poles all along the
gutter because they say that when the
city fixes the side walks in that part
of town the poles will be inside of the
curbing. Now that may be so, but if
we are as long getting the sidewalks
fixed by the city as we were
in getting the cutters cleaned,
we will have to wait long time, as
we were without street work for near
ly year. There is one place now
since they have put those poles there,
where the water overfows the side
walk from no other cause than that
the poles block the gutter.
It is all fOolishness to have the side
walk fourteen feet wide when it is i'm
possible to get either the city or the
residents to keep in repair the eight
foot ones.
"The matter was suggested by AL
derman Stewart in the last council
meeting, but l notice the mayor didn It
take any interest in the matter.
don't know why he didn't, whether it
was that he thought that it would be
too much trouble, or that it WASH t
worth while listening to the citizens
from that part of town."

THE CUBAN LINE.
Sends Vessel From Philadelphia
To SANTIAGO.

NEW YORK, July 23:-Taking ad-
vantage of the order of the Secretary
of the Treasury lifting the blockade OF
Santiago de Cuba to American and
neutral vessels, the Red D liner Phil
adelphia sailed from her dock at the
foot of Wall street this afternoon
bound for the famous Cuban port over
which the Stars and Stripes are
flying. The Philadelphia will be the
first American merchant vessel to have
the honor of saluting the American
flag in possession of foreign territory.
The steamer carries upward Of 100
passengers of whom the majority are
expelled Cubans returning to their
homes. The cargo space of 1000 tons
is crowded with merchandise of all
varieties consigned by enterprising
merchants and manufacturers anxious
to get into the new Cuban trade on the
ground floor.

One Effect Of The DlngIey Tariff

LONDON, July pa striking Illus
tration Of the disastrous effect of the
Dingley tariff on certain lines of Bri-
tish trade with America is afforded by
the board of trade returns of the city
of Bradford just published. During
the six months just closed the Brad
ford American trade shows decline
of the enormous sum of SIG, 600, 900.
which is felt the more by the manufac-
turers because of the fact that last
year there was an increase of $40, 900. :
600 over 1896. Allowing for the stop
page of ordinary trade conditions en-
tailed by the war, it Is evident that
Bradford alone will lose in the neigh
borhood of s25, 900, 900 this year by rea-
son of the new tariff law.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
Celebrates His Sixty-Fourth Birth
daV,


BALTIMORE, Md, July 23.-Cardinal
Gibbons was today the recipient of q
food of congratulatory letters and tel
egrams on the occasion of his sixty
fourth birthday. The eminent pre-
late, who is the head of the Roman
Catholic church in the United States,
and as such has displayed during the
present war spirit of patriotism
worthy of emulation by the clergy of
whatsoever denomination, spent the
day with the Jesuits in Frederick as
has been his custom for many years
past. Owing to his impaired health
Cardinal Gibbons has not been seen in
public much of late, but it is probable
that he will accept invitations to at
tend the sessions of one or more of the
Catholic summer schools during the
next few weeks.
cardinal Gibbons was born July %,
1884. After spending some time in
Ireland with his father he returned to
Maryland. and in 1857 graduated from
St. Charles College. June 80, 1861, the
late Archbishop Kendrick ordained
him priest of ST. Mary's seminary.
So rapid was his advance in the priest
hood, and the recognition accorded
him for his great abilities, that. Au-
gust 16. 1868. he was consecrated bish-
op and vicar apostolic of North Caro-
lima. Four years later he was trans
ferred to Richmond, Va. In 1877 he
was appointed coadjutor with the right
of succession to Archbishop Bailey,
and in October of the same year he
succeeded to the see of Baltimore. In
1886 he received the crowning honor of
his life, and distinguished tribute was
paid to the church in America by his
elevation to the cardinalate.l

HOT FIGHT.
Again The Americans Escape Un-
sCathed.

| sCathed.
KEY WEST, July 23.-The cruiser
Topeka which arrived today brings
news of the bombardment of Nipe
Thursday. The town is situated on q
large bay with a narrow entrance
guarded on both sides by forts and bat
teries armed with modern rifles. On
the bay commanding the entrance was
another fort with q small battery.
An attack was made on the forts at
the entrance early Tuesday morning.
The cruiser Topeka opened fire and
was followed by the gunboat Annapo-
lis, the revenue cutter Wasp and the
tug Leyden. The Topeka and Leyden
engaged the forts at the right and the
other two those on the left. For more
than an hour fire was rapid. One by
one the guns of the forts were silenced
Finally the troops in the forts were
forced to abandon them.
Four ships then moved up to the
mouth of the harbor where they could
get the range of the Spanish warships
and other iurts which had been firing
some wild shots during the engage
men. The Topeka went inside the
bay and engaged the cruiser Jorge
Juan. A fierce fight ensued, until q
six inch shell from the Topeka pierced
the Spaniard's ribs and exploded, dis
abling her. The Spanisrds started for
the beach but several received death
wounds before reaching it.
Bv this time the other American
ships had forced three Spanish gun
boats in the harbor to surrender and
had silenced all the forts. A body of
marines landed outside the forts. The
American flag was hoisted on a pole
where the Spanish had been. The
crew of the Spanish vessels all escaped
to the shore and no attempt to capture
them was made.
Not q man was injured ON the Amer
lean side, nor was single ship struck.
The fatalities on the Spanish side are
believed to be large.
According to Cubans, the harbor
forts we're gsrrisoned with 500 men,
AS the Topeka passed through the mar
row channel at the entrance of the
hsrbor two mines were exploded near
her but did no damage. After the
fight it was found that the channel was
we'll strewn with mines. The Wasp and
the Leyden are now at work taking
them up to allow the entrance of ves-
sells without danger.
One was aboard on which was paint
ed the motto BE brave and you will
get back to Spain. On her way here
the Topeka passed the Puritan, Terror,
Cincinnati, and Montgomery These
vessels signalled that they were going
to Nipe.
| The bay of Nipe is on the north coas,
of Cuba, Santiago province, little
east of north of Santiago, and outsied
of the district included in the surrend
