THAT SPANISH PRlVATEeR
Gunboat Bennington Ordered to Search the
Alaskan Waters.
Meantime IL fs Learned That a Tfmfd
Captain May Have Mistaken
the Saga's Flag.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-It has been
learned that in accordance with orders just
received from Washington the gunlSat
Bennington will probably sail today, prob
ably for the Alaskan coast, I'm quest Of
privateers.
Capt. Nicolls Of that vessel has been ex-
amined by a medical board of survey, but
failed to pass. and Lieut.. Mosier OF the AL
batross has beel appointed to command
the Bennington. The work Of coaling her
is being rushed.
The revenue cutter Grant will begin taxi
ing on coal today ana may sail on Friday
also for northern waters.
Admiral Miller says that the Bennington
is neither going to Manila nor 10 the La
drones, but he will not affirm the report
that she is destined for the north Pacific.
A dispatch received here states that the
alleged privateer has been identified as tie
Saga, an Alaskan trading vessel.
ST PAUL, Mimi, July 14.-It is believed
here that the steamer Saga, belonging to a
syndicate of South Dakota capitalists, was
the mysterious craft which gave iise few
days ago to reports from the Pacific coast
that a Spanish privatee- was in that part
Of the world. The Saga has just arrived

owners from Central American traffic 10

the front. His journey was a very trying
one, owing to the rain and mud, the latter
in many places being up to the horses
knees.
The last two days have been the worst of
the campaign, far as the weather is con-
cerned. Fierce tropical thunder storms
have been frequent, with an almost contin-
uous downpour of rain. The rife pits and
trenches at the front have been flooded and
last night few men in the besieging army
were able to sleep, owing TO the amount Of
water on the ground.
The already heavy hardships endured
have been greatly increased, and much ILL
ness is likely to result, as no adequate
shelter is possible.
Rain in Torrents.
The trail TO the front is in frightful
shape. The streams and the fords are
swollen and the soft soil Is cut into almost
impossible shapes by the wheels of the sup
ply wagons. One of Gen. Randolphs light
batteries occupied a whole day in getting to
the front.
The rain is coming down in torrents to-
night, and thunderstorm is raging along
the coast. If the storm continues it is like
ly to delay operations seriously.
Troops from the auxiliary cruisers Yale
and st. Paul have been landing in the rain
all day, and have been going into camp
wet and miserable. 1t has been bitter eX-
perience for the raw troops but they will
be pushed right to the front tomorrow.
The beach tonight is dotted with the
spluttering camp fires of the new arrivals.
The men are clustering about the feeble
flames in dismal groups, many of them
without the slightest shelter from the trop-
ical downpour.
The fleet was inactive all day. The Brook
lyn occupied a position about five miles
west of the harbor entrance, and the re-
mainder OF our warships were strung along
the coast as far east as Juragua. At the
latter point the flagship New York lay
nearly all day.
Rear Admiral Sampson and Gen. Miles
We're frequently in communication during
the forenoon. Gen. Miles went on board
the New York at about O clock and fire.
quent exchange of notes between the two
commanders occurred later. The nature of
their long conference could not be ascer-
tanned. but it is supposed to have related to
a concerted attack upon Santiago.
Several of our ships including the New
ark, with Commodore Watson on board,
spent the day coaling at Guantanamo bay.

Private Secretary Coursey Promoted.

Mr.. George S. Coursey, private secretary
to the adjutant general Of the army, has
been promoted from the 81 GOO to the 81 500
grade. Mr.. Coursey is one of the hardest
worked clerks in the War Department and
his promotion was richly deserved. His
hours of labor are the same as those Of
General Corbn, viz: from s o'clock in the
morning to 1 o'clock the next morning, and
sometimes later. He has been on eighty
eight nights in succession to date. One of
his important public duties is the prepara-
ton of the war bulletins for the press, a
task requiring considerable tact, ability and
fairness. He has acquitted himself with
credit in all his dealings with the news
paper men and has given general satisfac-
ton to them, as well as to his official sd
periors.

BLANCO TRIED SUICIDE
When He Learned That Cervera's
Fleet Had Been Destroyed.


According to advices from Havana re-
ceived here today Governor General Blan-
co attempted to commit suicide when he
learned beyond doubt that Admiral Ger
vera's squadron had been annihilatea.
Long before the Spanish admiral's gal
liant dash out of Santiago harbor all Ha-
vana had been boasting of his ability to
outwit the Americans and when mislead-
ing dispatches gave the impression that he
had eluded the American fleet, the demon
strations of joy in the Cuban capital par
took of the nature of festival.
When the true story of the defeat came
1t was discredited until definite confirma-
tion from Madrid no longer left room for
hope. Gloom settled upon the city, all
gayeties were stopped and every public and
many private buildings were hung with
crepe and other black draperies. Blanco
was in his palace when the intelligence
reached him, and he became almost
frenzied.
He was closeted with his staff and Gen
eral Arolas of the Spanish forces, discuss
ing the news when he made the attempt on
his life. After the struggle he was sub
dued and disarmed, but the shock was so
severe that he was prostrated and COM
PEELED to keep to his bed for several days.
When he arose his first order was to pro-
hibt any food supplies leaving Havana for
interior towns. where the distress Is most
Poignant and where esnany are starving
daily.

now remain here until required. The post
ponement of the naval assault on Santiago
will delay the sailing of Commodore Wat
sons squadron for the coast of Spain tenn
porarily.
Admiral Sampson has formally notified
General Shafter that he must not sign any
acceptance of surrender without first con-
sultng him. Admiral Sampson is anxious
that any surrender shall include thor
ough removal of all mines in the harbor
and the evacuation of all ports which
have fired on his ships.
The ships are now lying off Aguadores,
waiting to shoot over the hills into the
city. 1t is hoped by the naval officers that
General Shafter will soon either take the
city or be successful in his demands for a
surrender.

ARRANGING DETAILS

lnissioners to agree on terms OF

This question was submitted to
the President.
Secretary Alger said it was not
quite clear what was to be the pur-
pose of the commission. There
must be a surrender or fight" he
said.
The conference at the White
House over Gen. Skaters message
regarding commissioners lasted only
about ten minutes before an answer
to the dispatch was framed. In this
dispatch Gen. Shafter was instructed
to carry out the orders last sent him,
namely, to secure the surrender Of
Santiago by noon today or to re-
new the attack upon the city. 1t is
understood that the purpose OF the
President in sending this reply is
while securing the surrender of the
city to leave to Gen. Shafter the ar
1angement of all the details of srr-
render. 1t matters not whether peace
commissioners be appointed or not
so long as a surrender of the city is
accomplished without delay.
The Presidents telegram was ex-
pected to reach Shafter in an hour
after it was sent.
After the White House conference
Gen. Corbin returned to the War
Department and gave out this state
ment:
"Cablegram just received from
Gen. Shafter says that Gen. Toral
has asked that commissioners be ap-
pointed to arrange terms of SUR

pointed his"

thinks he could not have effected the land

Such a Decentralization in the face of the
enemy, and upon surf-bound coast of the
character of this must be regarded as a
very successful piece of work, and l desire
to make mention of the ability displayed by
Capt Goodrich and the officers detailed to
assist him. and of the zeal and cheerful
ness with which the men did their work.
The Yale arrived with 1900 troops, and
these are now being debarked at Siboney.

ITALY WILL USE FORCE.
A Squadron to Re Sent to Colombia
to Demand Payment.

The State Department has been notified
that the Italian government has determined
to adopt force in securing the payment by
the republic of Colombia of the arbitration
award made by President Cleveland I'm
favor of Ernesto Cerruti an Italian citi-
zen, amounting to S25O,000 To this end the
Italian government has summarily closed
diplomatic relations with the Colombian
minister at home and mas notified Admiral
Gandiani to -oceed with the Italian squad-
ron to Cart gena, Colombia, and there
adopt forcibl means to collect the amount.
A dispatch from Caracas Venezuela, an
nounces that the Italian squadron, under
Admiral Candiani. left La Guayra Monday
for Cartagena. in order to seize the custom
house there. The information reaching the
State Department is TO the effect that the
Italian squadron will arrive at Cartagena
today and that it consists of four war;
ships
In view of the serious possibilities involv-
ed in the case, the United States govern
ment has sought to avert immediate
crisis. On the request of the Colombian
authorities that the good offices OF the
United States be exercised, word was sent
to our charge d 'affaires at Rome to make
inquiry into the status of the case There
appears to be no disposition on the part Of
our government TO interfere IN Sucn steps
as Italy may take for the execution OF the
award, as are precluded from contest
ing award made by this government.
At the same time, ii is hoped that Italy
may be disposed to grant sufficient time to
the South American republic to permit her
to pay the award without suffering the
indignity of a seizure of her chief CONNER
cial port. As Italy's purpose is confined to
the collection of the award and has no ter
ritorial purposes in view, IT is said that the
Monroe doctrine has no application to tho
case, but that it is governed by the rules
which applied to the British seizure Of
Corinto, when the British squadron occu-
pied the custom house until a claim OF
81, 900 was settled.

A cablegram received here from
Gen. Shafter late this morning an
nounces that the Spaniards have ap-

dispatch was a little indefinite, but
was taken at the War Department to
mean that the Spaniards had decid-
ed to surrender Santiago.
Adiutant General Corbin went to

fifteen minutes later Secretary Alger
went to the White House and he
and Gen. Corbin remained some

Secretary Alger made the first an

The message had been taken to the

by AdIutant General Corbin, and
Secretary Alger, hastily entering the
cabinet room at II 40 to enter into
a consultation, in answer to a query
made this brief announcements:
They have asked for commits

He was in too much haste to stop
to make any more definite statement

was taken to mean that the Span

wanted commissioners appointed to
