SKATER SPEAKS.
Is Willing to Accept Place on Peace Com
mission If Asked,

New York, Oct. 2.-Gen William r
Shafter arrived in the city today from
Montauk Point He will go to Gov.
ernor's Island tomorrow morning, t.
take command of the department of the
east, to which he has been appointed.
He was accompanied by Maj. ]. D
| Miley, his aide. When asked if he ex-
pected to remain long in command OF
the department of the east, Gen. Shat
ter said: Il expect to remain in charge
OF the department Of the east until
Gen. Wesley Merritt arrives from
Manila. On his arrival l expect he
will assume command Of the depart
ment and will return to the Pacific
coast and reassume charge of the de-
partment of the Pacific. I like Cali
fornia and 1 want to make 1t my per
manent home. During my command
there | made many friends, and ! like
the climate and associations there
When Gen. Shafter was asked If he
knew that Gen. Gillespie was reported
to have said he knew nothing of Gen.
Skaters appointment in charge Of the
department of the east, Gen. Shafter
said: Il know nothing whatever of
the matter. 1 have not met Gen. Giles
pie yet, and do not know whether he Is
at Governors Island, in this city or in
Washington.
When Shafter was asked if he had
been summoned to testify before the
commission appointed to investigate the
army matter, he said: II have not yet
been notified to appear. When / am
notified to do so by the commission, l
will do So
1T do not know what could say of
Importance, but If l am wanted, shall
certainly respond to any notification"
Gen. Shafter was asked if he thought
the present army was held in readiness
without mastering out any more sol
diers for the purpose of awaiting the
decision of the Paris council. He
said:
There are not enough soldiers now
to garrison all the posts. There is need
of 100000 soldiers for that purpose.
do not know what the intention of the
war department is. 1t may be that the
soldiers are being held in the event Of
there being trouble occurring in the
Philippines, Cuba or Porto Rico. Every
thing is in allegiance now. I have no
definite knowledge Of what the war de-
partment Intends but 1t is certainly
safe to hold a large number of SOL
diers in readiness"
Concerning the controversy between
Gen. Miles ID the war department, he
said: II nave no statement whatever
to make. I have nothing whatever to
complain about did my duty as l
thought best and tried to do 1t faith
fully and for the best interest of all.
1t will be time enough to make state
ments when my superiors complain and
call me to account. There is no use
stirring up matters"

Kingston, Jamaica, June 15.-The de-
lay in the arrival of the transports is
ascribed among the officers and men
of the fleet off Santiago to a fear that
after all Admiral Cervera's squadron
might not be in Santiago harbOr. Once
for all Admiral Sampson decided to
settle this question officially, and on
Saturday last he sent Lieutenant Vic
tor Blue, of the gunboat Suwanee, to
investigate. Lieutenant Blue landed
on Saturday and proceeded with guides
to the hills overlooking the harbor and
the city. He distinctly saw and def
nitely located four Spanish armored
cruisers and two torpedo boat de-
stroyers. He saw also three small
cruisers or gunboats.
The results of his expedition he re-
ported Monday morning to Admiral
Sampson on the deck of the flagship
New York. Lieutenant Blue Travelled
about 72 miles, following the east
ward line of the city. He brought out
to the flagship a copy of a Santiago
paper issued last Saturday, in which
complaint is made that the navy and
army are failing to distribute to the
citizens their portions of the provis-
ions remaining in the city.
Lieutenant Blues report has def
nitely exposed the fiction that any Of
Cerveras cruisers were in the Bahia
mas, or in a position to attack the
transports, which are now confidently
expected at an early date.
Lieutenant Blue reported also that
skirmishing continues in the hills
around Santiago between the Cubans
and Spaniards. The latter have been
repairing the Notifications of the city,
as it is expected that Admiral Samp-
son will renew the bombaTdment in
anticipation of possible arrival and
landing of troops this week
General Calixto Garcia had been ex-
pected to arrive near Santiago to re-
port to Admiral Sampson Monday, but
it turned out that the information
upon which this expectation was based
was Incorrect As yet the where
abouts of General Garcia is not def
nitely known.
Early Monday morning three shots
were fired from MORO fort upon the
naval pickets u the line maintained
at the entrance to the harbor. Captain
Evans, of the Iowa, steamed within
two miles of the harbor mouth and
flashed the Iowa's searchlight, where
upon the firing ceased. The Iowa re-
mained on the watch until daybreak,
and then retired. There was no fur
ther firing.
Monday the dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius arrived off Santiago, and it is con-
fidently expected that her guns will
be used if an attempt is made to force
the passage of the harbor for the pur-
pose of exploding any submarine
mines that may exist. The hospital
ship Solace arrived the same day, and
left at once for Guantanamo.
For a wonder. 1t is believed that
the marines at Guantanamo will be
able to maintain their position until
the long expected troops arrive. Dur
ing the second night attack by the
Spanish, which ended at daybreak on
Saturday morning, they held their
ground against desperate odds, and
the discovery of the bodies of 15 Span
ish, including a lieutenant, shows how
deadly was the American defense. The
Spanish sent 5000 men by train from
the city of Guantanamo to attack
them, but, pressed close by the Amer

San Francisco June 15.-The second ex-

soldiers, left here last night. Among them
was the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
who are embarked on the transport steamer
Zeandia. The government expects to send
81, 900 men to the aid of Admiral Dewey, but
when the third expedition will leave no one
seems to know. 1t is believed William

ordered to report to Gen. Merritt here and
depart with the third expedition for the
