WATSON MAY NOT GO.
Secretary Long HasBecOmeNOn-
cOmmittal on the Subject.

Washington, July 26.-When the cabinet
assembled at IL o'clock today Secretaries
Alger and Long both announced that they
had received no dispatches from the Porto
Rico expedition. Secretary Alger espe-
cially was expecting to hear from General
Miles and was much disappointed that no
word had come from him as to his land
ing, reports sof which had been transmit
ted to him through the Associated Press.
Secretary Long also was keenly expectant
of advices from that quarter. Referring
to the expedition of Commodore Watson
to the Spanish coast, Secretary Long said
there was nothing new with regard to that
project.
1T is surely going, is it not?' he was
asked.
1T is waiting orders from the presi-
dent was the reply.
Secretary Long. however, noticeably re-
Trained from directly answering the ques-
ton.
Secretary Day stated that there had
been no change in the peace outlook and
that, so far as he knew, the administra-
ton had no information of the reported
peace note the Spanish are quoted as
framing He said there had been no
overtures for peace brought to his atten-
ton, and said in a general way that he
knew of no developments anent the peace

F. GORDON IN A RUNAWAY.
One of the Topeka Soldier Boys Has
An Exciting Experience.

The following is a letter received by
James E. Larimer from Fred Gordon,
who is hospital steward with the Twen-
ty- second Kansas at Camp Alger, Va:
we are having brigade or regimentaI
inspection most every day now, and all
are in hopes that it means something
for it is getting. rather tiresome sitting
round here. We want to get into the
trouble.
Some of the boys ate hash that was
spoiled and the result was that 56 of
them were very sick for about twelve
hours, but are all we'll again.
You remember the little horse that
ran away with you. We had an exact
mate to him here. Last Sunday 1 start
ed to ride him to Halifax court house,
and the brute ran away with me. 1t
was about as enjoyable to those who
witnessed it as your episode was to the
boys in Topeka. There is timber all
around our camp and 1 could not guide
the horse. He jumped logs, ran through
mud holes and scraped me on the limbs
of the trees. L lost my hat, my trousers
worked up out of my leggins. 1 was
splattered all over with mud and made
a picture worth any artists brush. I be-
Heve it was the only time I was ever
really scared, but I thought he was
going to kill me, sure. When 1 ride
again the band will play"

people to the national disasters seems
to continue. Social entertainments,
popular amusements and bull fights go
on as merrily as ever, but this appar-
ent apathy is merely superficial. Ihe
slightest incident may at any moment
precipitate and plunge the country in
to revolution. The news which reached
here Thursday of the pOStpOnement OF
the departure of WatsOn's squadron is
regarded as a definite abandonment of
that expedition and causes an immense
relief to the Spanish cabinet The
work of defending the seaports never
theless actively continues and two
transports with troops and heavy guns
arrived yesterday at the Canaries.
"Sagasta is now pOWerless either to
carry on war effectively or to conclude
peace. The question of the war is
thrown into the background by the ur
gency of dynastic considerations and
by measures to avert a military pro-
nunciamentO backed by popular up
rising.
'fThe spectacle of revolution has mo-
mentarily restrained the Carlists in
the northern provinces, but has forced
Sagasta to put his whole trust in the
leaders of the army The generals are
now absolute masters at Madrid, and
are likely to cast aside SagaSta as
soon as they have no further use for
him. The artillery is the most demo
Ocratic as well as the most efficient
branch of the military service and has
always been early in taking an active
part in any republican movement to
Overturn a dynasty.
To-day the entire artillery force of the
garrison of Madrid is openly hostile to
the government and if ordered to fire
on the people would certainly refuse to
do so and would fraternize with the in
SurgentS. Several infantry regiments
when the emergency arises, are also
ready to follow the example of the ar
tillery.
THE disaffection of the army in
creases day by day. officers of every
grade accuse the ministry of incapacity
in conducting the war and charge them
above all with criminal neglect IN fail
ing to supply the Santiago force with
food and ammunition. Gen. POlavieja,
a thoroughly honest, loyal soldier of
the old school, whose devotion to the
had long conferences with the queen,
Sagasta and the leaders of the opposi-
tion. Polavieja is the last hope of the
dynasty. This blunt but genial soldier
still retains a certain influence with
the army but those who ought to know
best say that when the time comes he
can no more stem the popular tide than
could have Marshal Beaugaud prevent
ed the Paris revolution of 1S4S from
sweeping away Louis Philippe.
mot a day passes without the en-
peror of Austria exerting his strong
personal influence with the queen
regent, urging her to make peace at
once no matter at what sacrifice; for
in his opinion the only salvation of the
depends upon her ability to do
so and he points out that the longer
peace is delayed so much the more in
tense will be the internal explosion,
which is the real danger to the dynasty.
The queen is most anxious to act upon
the emperor's advice and her great hope
is that Polavieja will succeed in OBJ
tanning the assent of the army to per
nit the cabinet to make such direct
offers OF peace to Washington, as would

HOODS IMMUNES.
They Arrive at Tampa Ready to
Embark for Santiago.

Tampa, Fla, July 26.-Colonel Duncan
B. Hoods regiment of immunes, who have
been in camp at Covington for several
weeks, arrived here today. Colonel
Riches immunes, from Texas, arrived
Saturday. Both these regiments will be
taken to Santiago by the big transport
Berlin, now taking on stores for the ex-
peditiOn.
General Shafter is very anxious to have
these two regiments reach him as soon
as possible to do garrison duty at Santi-
ago. The opinion was expressed today
that the Berlin will not get away before
Wednesday or Thursday. The hammocks
that are to be swung between decks and
which are to be occupied by the troops
on the trip have not yet arrived and their
absence is likely to cause some delay.

RUSSIA BEHIND 1T.
She is GOading Other Powers to
Interference in the War.

New York, July ga dispatch to the
World from Madrid says:
It is authoritatively stated that Rus
sia is even more active than Germany
or Austria in automatically prompting
Spain and in moving for a combination
of the continental powers to do some
thing to check the United States.
At different stages of the war the
Russian government has assured the
Spanish foreign ministery that it does
not want any European power nor
America to establish itself in the Span
ish archipelagoes in Oceanica. But, hav-
ing reasons of it's own for not wishing
to appear too openly to favor Spain,
fearing it might promote an under
standing between Great Britain and the
United States, Russia has encouraged
Germany to exert pressure at Manila

from Shanghai says the Japanese war

to Saiseho to reinforce the Japanese
squadron there, making it the strongest
in these waters. 1t has been ordered
to cooperate with the British and

While the dispatch does not explain
the matter, it is inferred the squadron
is desired to be in readiness for Philip

SCOVEL On BOARD.
Also Bodies of Capt Capron and Ham
ilton Fish.

Newport News, July 26.-The trans
port Hudson, from Santiago arrived at
Hampton Roads at noon today. From
the foremast f1oated a yellow flag, in
dicating sickness aboard. DR.. Pettus,
the national quarantine officer boarded
the vessel as soon as she cast anchor.
He remained on board some time and
when he came ashore 1t was learned
that he did not feel justified in permit
ting those on board to land.
The Hudson is understood to carry a
number of sick and wounded soldiers
from Santiago. The bodies of Captain
Capron and Sergeant Hamilton Fish
are on the ship, enrOute north for in
terment. It is said that Sylvester
Scovel, the New York newspaper cor
respondent, who was ordered from Cuba
because of insulting conduct to Gen
eral Shafter, is also on board.

THEY ALL KICK.
German Captain Indignant Because
He Was Shot At.

st. Thomas, D. w. L, July 26.-Capt
Lotze of the German steamer Croatia,
which arrived here yesterday and re-
ported having been fired upon three
times off San Juan, Porto Rico, on
Saturday by an American warship, un-
derstood to be the United States cruiser
New Orleans, was quoted in an inter-
view today as saying that the first
solid shot fell within twenty yards of
the ship. The steamer was immedi-
ately stopped, but the captain adds
that two more shots were fired over
the Croatias bows from close range.
Later an officer from the New Orleans
boarded the Croatia and asked if the
ship was injured. Captain Lotze was
highly indignant at being fired upon,
as he considered his ship was outside
the blOckading zone. He says he saw

and has induced France to take the
lead in demonstrations of sympathy
which the French foreign ministry only
reluctantly consented to do.
Ever since then Russia and the Vati-
can with the aid of the Austrian court
though contrary to the judgment of
the Austrian chancellor, Count Co
luchowski-have been arranging for
concerted action by the continental
powers to interfere both when an Amer
lean squadron comes to Europe and
when, in the peace negotiations, the
question of the Philippine islands comes
up. Then Russia and France will plead
in behalf of Spanish interests to pre-
vent the United States, Germany or
Japan interfering.
