AMERICANS SIGHT SANTIAGO

Movements OF the utmost Importance,
aggressive and strong, are to be made this
week by both army and navy. :,
There will be an extensive movement
of troops to reinforce the army of Gen
eral Shaiter. at Santiago and to form a
base Of operations there against Porto
Rico. r.,W0
The understanding is that a large ad-
ditional army will be transported to San
tiago; all that are needed will join in the
operations there, and the rest, together
with what can be spared from Cuba after
the fall Of Santiago, will proceed to the
occupation of Porto Rico.
The fall OF Santiago, the occupation OF
Porto Rico, and the attack upon the
Spanish ports on the Peninsula are ex-
pected to demonstrate to the people OF
Spain what their Government already
knows; that nothing can be gained by a
continuance of the war, ana that further
resistance will intlict upon them disaster

0Peclal pisphtcH W lHE Gun. ...
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The plan for
an attack on the coast OF Spain, which
was first outlined in these dispatches and
frequently discussed, was this morning
officially announced by the Department.
The bulletin posted at the Department
announcing the departure OF Commodore
Watson to organize the squadron OF ar
morclads from SIMPSONS fleet, to pro-
ceed at once off the coast OF Spain, is the
beginning Of the movement which will
probably end the war.
The time has now arrived when this
movement may ke undertaken, and the
purpose is to lose no time in bringing the
war home to Spain in a way that will
make the Spanish people realize the ab..
solute futility OF prolonged resistance OF
the inevitable.
1t is doubtful whether this order to
Admiral Watson was fastened by any
fear Of danger threatening Admiral
Dewey from an attack by the Cadiz fleet.
reported at the mouth OF the Suez Canal
on the way to the Philip ines. The for
nation OF this squadron for an attack on
the Spanish coast was q part OF the gen
eral plan for the prosecution OF the war,
decided on so.ie time ago, and fully out
lined inthese dispatches. !.
The movement was held in waiting
only for the landing Of troops at San.
tiago and the development Of the situa-
tion there which would admit of vessels
being spared from the blockade there to

DEMURRER
OF United States Senator Richard
Rollins Kenney Argued.--Grand
Jury to Meet.

jury to Meet. .~
Judge Bradford yesterday heard argu-
ments in the United States District
Court on tie demurrers to the indict-
ments against United States Senator
Richard Rollins K-nney and Charles H.
Butler, both of whom are charged with
aiding and abetting William N. Boggs in
looting the Dover bank.
United States Senator George Gray and
Levi c. Bird are counsel for Mr. Ken
ney, whilst Mr.. Bird alone represents
Mr.. Butler. Andrew G. Gray, son Of
Senator Gray, took charge Of Mr.. Ken
ney's case for his father and Andrew E.
Sanhorn performed u similar Office for
Mr.. Bird.
1t was understood between counsel be-
fore argument commenced that only one
case should be argued and that upon the
decision in this one should rest that OF
the other for the reason that the de-
murrers are similar in both cases.
1t was decided to take up the case Of
Mr. Kenney and Mr.. Gray consumed
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon in his
Argument.
During his argument Mr.. Gray asked
that all Of the twenty-five counts IN the
case be stricken out. Sixteen Of these,
he said, did not alege that any money
was lost to the bank by depletion of the
funds and in the others mere errors that
were in direct contradiction to Sections
Nos. 500 and 5440 OF the Revised
Statutes of the United States. He also
called the attention of the court to the
amounts of various checks in the indict-
ment in front OF which We're abbrevia-
tions scr" and "dr.' This he also
claimed was in contradiction to the sta
tutes. .E
United States District Attorney lewis
{. Vandegrift then took up his argument
and denied in toto the al'egati ms made
in the demurrer. He will finish this
morning and the decision OF the court is
not expected before Friday.

Last evening Clark was in the best Of
spirits and he took supper at the same
table with Boggs. They spoke pleasantly
to each other and their differences have
apparently been buried.
Rumor had it yesterday afternoon that
Clark, after his sentence, had made a
confession Of his crime to Sheriff Finn,
but as far as could be ascertained this is
not true. In one conversation, however,
held with the sheriff after his conviction,
Clark stated that he was sorry that they
had used the banks funds, but it was no
use crying over spilled milk.
1t is stated that a number of Clark's
friends have taken his case in hand and
will ask the wardens Of the Trenton
penitentiary to furnish him with some
congenial employment.
