THEY WERE NOT ENGLTsHMEN.
The Men That Sunk the Spanish Fleet
 Off Manila.

Washington July 15.-With all our disposition to be on friendly terms with the British, our naval officers are quick to resent the allegations made to the effect that Dewey owed his success at Manila to the employment of English gunners, whom he had engaged at fab ulous wages at Hong Kong before he sailed for Manila. Such a statement as this was made by Cunningham Gra- ham, an ex-member of parliament, in a communication to one of the British newspapers. Captain Crowinshield, chief of the navigation bureau, is di- rectly in charge of the personnel of the navy, and when this statement was called to his attention he said:
 We never have yet been called upon to get Englishmen to teach us how to shoot. An inspection of the muster rolls of Dewey's squadron will convey the amplest refutation of this charge and show how absolutely false it is. Even later than the muster rolls are the prize lists prepared for the use of the auditing officers of the treasury de- partment, and by comparison with the muster rolls as the squadron was orig inally formed will show very clearly that no Englishmen were behind the guns that sunk the Spanish equadron and silenced the forts of Cavite."

The Haryard,s Prisoners,

Portsmouth, N. H., July 15.-The cruiser Harvard, which has arrived here with the remainder of the Span- ish prisoners, left Santiago de Cuba Sunday at 4 P. m., and made fair pro- gress. The Spanish prisoners on board belonged on the vessels in Admiral Ger veras s fleet and were the men who went ashore and were put to work on the trenches and gave Roosevelt's Rough and who returned to the fleet the day before Admiral Cervera sailed from Santiago when his squadron was de- stroyed by Admiral Sampson's ships. With reference to the condition of the prisoners Naval Physician A. c. Heffin- ger made the following statement to- night: T have no cause for alarm as the cases on the Harvard are exactly like those on the St. Louis. But you see, these men are half starved and were nearly dead when captured, and in addition to this they have been crowded aboard the Harvard and the conditions under which they lived are worse than those on the St. Louis.' '' Naval Physician Heffinger says he will not make a detailed report Ato Wash ington until next Monday, when he can state positively what the cases of sick ness are.

Letter From Mrs. Porter.

Washington, July 15.-John Addison Porter, secretary to the president, has received long and interesting letter from his wife, who is at Santiago en- gagged in Red Cross work. Mrs. Por- ter gives vivid picture of the condi- tions prevailing at Siboney and other portions of Santiago. She says that if it had not been for the Red Cross hundreds of refugees, chiefly women and children, would have died from starvation. With the large store of supplies the society was enabled to do good work among the afflicted of all classes and nations. Mrs. Porter says that the act of the Spaniards in firing into Red Cross ambulances containing sick and wounded was the most das- tardly known in the history of war fare.

PoLITICAL STATUS OF SANTIAGO.
Now Receiving Earnest Attention of 1 the Washington Authorities.

Washington, July 15-The political status of Santiago is now receiving earnest attention from the authorities here, for with the acquisition of sev- eral thousand square miles of Cuban soil, with large commercial port and harbor as it's center it becomes neces- sary to determine how it shall be ad- ministered. For the present it is ex- pected that the military authorities will have entire direction of affairs. When the details of the surrender are carried out there will be time to consider the larger question of the permanent status of this tract. If the precedent of Ma nila is followed a military official will be designated to administer affairs at Santiago city and thereabouts. But it is appreciated that the conditions are quite different at Santiago from those in Manila, as the government has dis claimed a purpose to make territorial acquisition in Cuba, and has directed it's efforts thus far to making Cuba free and placing the Cubans in control
 This condition may lead to consid- eration of the expediency of allowing the Cubans themselves to establish an administration at Santiago, thus giving them the opportunity to try their abil- ity ,at directing civil affairs and also giving them a foothold on the island. In that event General Garcia, being on the ground, would doubtless figure prominently in the administration, al- though President Masso and his cabi- net are said to be in the adjoining prov ince of Puerto Principe and readily ac- cessible to Santiago. Until the surren- der is completed the authorities here are not disposed to settle the details of questions of administration. It is felt, however, that an important ques- tion of general policy hinges on the ac- ton at Santiago, as it is the first Gu ban territory to be acquired by our ar my and to some extent the determina- ton as to it's method of civil admins tration will serve as a precedent in oth- CT parts of Cuba when it is overrun by our army.

Since leaving San Francisco he has been suf- fering from a low fever and was to-day transferred from the ship to the local hospital, where is is likely to remain for some days.

AT .NIANTIC.
First Regiment VIII Not Leave Before
 Sunday or Monday.

Sunuay or MOhuays
 United States Army Post, Mantle, Conn.,, July 15.-With the arrival of the three companies-B, I and E-from Gull and Plum Islands, and Company c, from Fort Winchester, Portsmouth, N. H., tonight, the First regiment, United States Connecticut Volunteer infantry only lacks two companies of its full quota. Companies F and K, from Fort Preble, Portland, Me, were scheduled to arrive to-day also, but for some reason unknown to the off, cers here they failed to appear, and it is now believed that they will not ar rive until tomorrow, probably in the evening. When these two companies arrive the mobilization of the First regiment will have been completed, and as the regiment is under orders to go to Camp Russell A. Alger, Vir- ginia, immediately, an early movement of the troops may be expected. Col onel Burdett, commanding the First regiment, stated this afternoon that the regiment would leave Mantle the minute all of the troops had arrived at the camp. and said that if the transportation arrangements were made satisfactorily he would leave within ten minutes after mobilization. Tonight, however, the officers at the camp do not believe the regiment will get away tomorrow. They were of the opinion that Companies F and K would not arrive until late tomorrow evening and that the troops would ont start for Camp Alger before Sunday or possibly Monday.

THREE SMALL PRIZES.
British ships Caught While Trying to
 Run the Blockade

Key West, July 15,-Three prizes of English built steamer Greenow Castle, which for several years piled on the Cuban coast under the Spanish flag,' but on June s last returned to her British registry, was taken by the Dixie off Cape Cruz last Thursday. She was bound from Kingstonn Jamaica, for Manzanillo, with a large cargo of food supplies. Her captains name is Rust and as super-cargo she had one, Will son, an expert mechanical engineer Lieutenant Layton of the Smith, with two marines and two sailors from the Dixie was put in charge.
 The day before the capture of the Greenow Castle the Three Bells and the Pilgrim both flying British flags and both bound from Montenegro bay to Manzanillo with cargoes of food SUD- plies, were captured. The Three Bells was originally a Nova Scotian boat. She is of about 125 tons and the Pilgrim of about 250 tons. Lieutenant M. S.. Blunt with two sailors and two ma- rines was put in charge to bring her to Key West, but she has not arrived yet. The British schooner F. R. Nick erson was also among to-day's arrivals. She was becalmed off Cape Cruz on July 10 when the Hornet steamed along side and informed her commander that the vessel was a prisoner. There was no attempt at resistance. The tug Wampatuck and the gunboat Hist were within signalling distance at the time and Ensign B. c. McDougal of the Hist, the boatswain's mate and a sailor from the Wampatuck were put on board as prize crew. The Nicker- son has negro captain, three seamen and cook. Two so-caled passengers, who turned out to be agents for the cargo, were on board. They are A. Won Guthard and Frank Berger, and they vigorously protested against the capture, declaring that as British sub jects they could and would claim a large indemnity from the United States The vessels cargo was food, including a deck load of pigs, goats, chickens, flour, pork, potatoes and the like She was bound from Jamaica for Manzan- illo.
 The auxiliary gunboat Uncas lowed in to-day a little Spanish sloop, the Bella Inez, taken off Cardenas. The sloop had no cargo and when caught was close in shore. Four of her crew of six jumped overheard and got to land. The Uncas brought also Ysidro DeSoto, a Cuban messenger from the camp of Colonel Carlos Bojas, bearing private dispatches for the United States government. The gunboat Gas tine brought in to-day three Spaniards who had deserted from Spanish gun boat in Havana harbor and put off to the blockading fleet in a small boat The launch of the monitor Terror pick ed them up and transferred them tc the Castine.

indicated in Secretary Algers state ment above given the petition has been denied by this government.
 The unusual delay which has puzzled the war officials is accounted for by the difficulty which General Toral is having in surrendering that part of the force under his command which is not in the city of Santiago. General Shafter estimates that there are from l2,000 to 15,000 men in Santiago and nearly as many more in the province outside the city. It is believed the de- lay in the negotiations is made neces- sary in order to secure the surrender of the outlying garrisons, some of which may question Torals authority to sur render them.
 The following bulletin from General Shafter was posted at the war depart ment late in the afternoon:
 Headquarters Santiago via Playa, July 15,
 1898.
 Adjutant General, Washington, D. O.:
 Sent you several telegrams yesterday, as did General Miles, in regard to the surren' der. General Toral agreed yesterday posi- lively to surrender all the forces under his command in eastern Cuba, upon q distinct understanding that they were to be sent to Spain by the United States that this sur render was authorized by General Blanco, and that its submission tomorrow was merely formal. The commissioners to ar range details were ppointed-Wheeler, Lawton and Miley on the part of the United States. Points were immediately raised by Spanish commissioners. The discussion lasted until 10 o'clock last night, My com missioners think the matter will be settled to-day and met at 9:30 o'clock this morning. There are about F, 900 troops in the city and about as many more in the surround ing district; 25,000 in all will be transport ed. General Miles was present and said the surrender was as absolute and complete as possible. It cannot be possible that there will be failure in completing arrangements. Water famine in city imminent. Have sup ply cut; this was told Lieutenant Miley by English commissioner. Will wire frequent ly when negotiations are progressing.
 (Signed) Shafter, Major General Commanding.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co,
PUBLIC BAND CONCERTS.
Dates and Places of Series of Ten
 Which to be Given.

The joint committee of the court of common council appointed to arrange for public band concerts this summer met last night in the city hall. Repre- sentatives of five bands were present and presented terms and informed the committee as to makeup of and num- Der of pieces in their bands. The bands represented were Second regiment, Old Guard, A. O. U. w., Nicolari's and Lombardis The committee after hear ing from each organization, made no choice of bands for recommendation to the common council, and it is probable that the concerts, ten in number, will be distributed among each of the five bands mentioned above, each band get ting one concert or more. It is also the intention of the committee to have the concerts given on various parks of the city instead of having all on the central green.
 The appropriation for band concerts is $600 and although the average bid for concerts was $50 each, it will be pos sible to give only ten, since portion or the appropriation must be spent in moving temporary band stand to the various parks where concerts will be held. It will also be necessary to build a new temporary band stand, which will cost about SIS. The question as to what bands will be selected to give the concerts will probably be settled at the next meeting of the committee, which will be held next Monday night.
 Io+O ,N1o of hn were decided upon last night and are as follows: July 20, central green; July 27, Jocelyn square; August 3, central green; August 5, Quinnipiac park; Au- gust 10, Trowbridge square; August IT., central green; August "A, Edgewood park; August 26, Water street park; August 31, Broadway park; September 7, central green.

SPANISH SANII4GO TROOPS.
The Perp1e1ing Problem of Their Trans-
 pOrtattOn to Spain.

Washington, July 15.-The perplexing problem now to be solved by the ad- ministration is how to carry out the pledge made by General Shafter to re- move to Spain the Spanish soldiers who surrendered. It would have been no easy undertaking to remove the 10000 men across the Atlantic under the best conditions, but the reports that indicat- ed the existence of yellow fever among the Spaniards threatened all kinds of difficulties. After all, it was decided that it would only be a matter of months before steamships can be found to transport them. Several weeks will be required to remove the Spaniards, so that it will be necessary to retain a large portion of the American army in Santiago for some time.

ITALIAN SQUADRON ARRIVES
TO FORGE COLOMBIA TO PAT THAT
 $s5O,OOO AWARD.

Admiral Candiuni in Command of inc
 Warships s-Nvashington Has Been Of.
 hctnlly Advised That the Admirable
 Instructions Are Confined to MaL,n
 Demand for Complete and Speedy
 Settlement.
 Washington, July 15.-The state de- partment has been informed that the Italian squadron, under Adimra1 Can diani, has reached Colombian waters preparatory to making demand on the republic of Colombia for imme- ate payment of s25O,OOO awarded by President Cleveland to Ernesto Cerru- ti, an Italian citizen. It is not known that the squadron has as yet made the demand, or that any force to execute it has been exerted. On the contrary. the department has been officially ad- vised that the admirals instructions are confined to making a demand for the complete and speedy settlements, of the award made by the president of the United States.
 His instructions do not go to the ex- tent of directing him to seize the cus tom house at Carthegena, as was at first reported. It is said by officials. however, that when a government di- rects an admiral to make demand, the appearance of his squadron is in itself a demonstration of force and a threat that unless that settlement is made the squadron is prepared to en- force settlement in a summary man. ner. Although the admiral is now pre- pared to exert force the impression pre- vails at the state department to-day that settlemen will be reached with out the actual display of force. AL | though not officially admitted the inti- nation is made that since Colombia requested the good offices of the United States these have been exerted to the extent of suggesting to the Colombian governmen that a settlement was de- l sirable
