Riders, all disrnounted. There were not 1900 men in all. They found 2ooo Spaniard in the thicket and finally drove them back to the defenses of the town.
 Fourteen dead Spaniards were found, but this does not measure the Spanish loss. The last resist ance of the Spanish was at a blockhouse, which was stormed and carried. Four regiments of infantry, including the Seventy first New York and some of the Ninth Cavalry, were hurried for ward as a reinforcement.

ALGER GETS THE NEWS
 FROM PRESS DISPATCHES
Regrets the American Losses, But Is Gratifed Over the
 Victory

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Up to 3 o'clock this morning neither the Presi- dent nor Secretary Alger had received news concerning the land engagement near Santiago which occurred yester- day morning. When the first bulletin relative to the engagement was shown to Secretary Alger at 1 o'clock he ex- pressed the deepest concern and re- quested that he be given further par ticulars as soon as received. Shortly before ? o'clock the story of the en- gagement was read to the Secretary through telephone. As the names of the killed and wounded were read the Secretary counted the numbers aloud, apparently making note of them as they reached him.
 While the Secretary expressed the deepest regret for the loss of the off, cers and men, he was greatly gratified to learn that the American forces had achieved what appears to have been a decisive victory. So great was the in- terest Alger manifested in the battle that he requested. notwithstanding the

 Moro.

NEW YORK, June 24.-A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says:
 Secretary Long has sent to Assistant Naval Constructor R. P. Hobson, in care of the commander-in-c chief of the North Atlantic squadron, an inspiring letter commenting him for the extra ordinary heroism he displayed in sink ing the collier Merrimac in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
 In the letter he says: "The depart ment takes this occasion to most hear tily congratulate you upon your most distinguished conduct, and avails itself of this opportunity to inform you that 1t has taken steps to give you some professional reward, as recommended by the commander-in-c chief, which the department hopes will be gratifying to you, and at the same time assures you that your gallant act not only reflects additional luSter upon the traditional glories of the navy, but that you are held in grateful remembrance by your fellow countrymen and appreciated by the whole civilized world"
 This letter was personally signed by Secretary Long. It will be held by Ad- miral Sampson until an opportunity is found to convey it to the young officer, now a prisoner in Santiago de Cuba
 WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Navy Department has just received the fol- lowing cablegram:

GENERAL MILES WILL
 COMMAND IN CUBA
Eighteen Thousand Troops to Be Sent to Reinforce the Army of
 Invasion.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-General Miles, in command of the army, will go to Cuba, accompanied by his staff, and direct the military operations in the field. The doubt as to the gen. erals movements was cleared up to- day and the definite statement made that he would go to Cuba. He will not leave this week, however, as has been suggested nor is it settled yet just when he will go There are inn portant military moves requiring his attention here, including the prepara- tions for further expeditions which will go to Cuba to re-enforce General Shaf- ter by way of Newport News and Tampa. This force will consist in the aggregate of 1S,O00 troops. Tampa is again to be made a rendezvous for a large force and the department is se- curing complete details, with a view to centering another large fleet of transports there. With the troops moved to these points and the expedi- tions well advanced, General Miles will then be free to join the army in the field. There is a possibility that he may go with General Henry's division when the Harvard and Yale make their sec ond trip from Newport News, but this Is quite doubtful

Correspondence of the call.

h HONOLULU, June H.-There is weeping and wailing and especially gnashing of teeth to-day at HawaiiS bad for tune with the mails. After patiently waiting for whole week for the over due Peru and ignoring the Vancouver route, the postoffice placed all its mail, 16,000 letters and 5000 newspapers, upon the United States cruiser Bennington, yester- day morning, the Mohican having arrived the evening before just at sunset. This morning the Peru turned up for breakfast and will naturally arrive in San Francisco some two, if not three, days before the Bennington, whose voyage will probably
 be at least eleven days, as she is re- ported by the quidnuncs to be very foul.
 Something had to be done, as the mer- chants are running short of provisions and things that the islands ought to pro-
 duce, even to potatoes, and ships are
 waiting at San Francisco for orders dis patched yesterday.
 It must be remembered that the feeding of several thousand of extra mouths make quite a difference to our little com munity, which relies to a great extent upon it's supplies from the coast. We have plenty of course for the second bod'1 of troops, which are hourly expected, but not actually looked for until the 10th, except that we shall Probably run short on beer. Our arrangements are to feed 6000 troops in the Executive building grounds, 5000 at a time and after our successful experi- ence with the first 5000 guests we hope to excel even San Francisco as caterers.
 The monitor Monterey, which we have
 been anxiously expecting for the last forty-eight hours. has not yet been sight ed. She will meet with warm reception. The Government and anneXationists arg highly elated over dispatch from Minis ter Hatch from Washington leading them
 to hope that the very next steamer will
 bring them news that Hawaii has been gathered into the fold of the great Union
 It is readily to be imagined how, under these conditions, very unsettled every thing is in social, business and legislative circles. The Legislature especially is act ing peculiarly. It has again evinced it's opposition to Government measures by slaughtering Ministerial bill to establish national labor employment bureau, the principal man to be benefited by the law being, so it is said, one of the officials or the American League organization.
 The most extraordinary reports of tex perts are being presented at this extra session instead of, as formerly in the regular session, to enable the Legislature to judge in what manner the departments and bureaus had been conducted In no instance, it is said, do they reflect credit upon the conduct of the Government dur ing the past five years One especialIv- that in reference to the conduct of the Public Works Department-has created
 intense feeling. The charges brought

lateness of the hour, that he be given any further particulars which might be received. No information concern ing the officers and the men killed in the engagement could be obtained at the War Department, as no official having charge of the muster rolls was on duty.
 Captain Allyn K Capron of Troop L.. Roosevelt's Rough Riders, who is among the killed, was son of Captain Allyn Capron of the First Artillery and was we'll known in Washington. He was a second lieutenant of the Seventh Cavalry and was recently promoted to be a captain in the volunteer service and was given command of Troop l. of the Rough Riders. He was young and dashing officer and was regarded by his superiors as one of the most promising cavalry officers in the ser vice

the schooner Jane Gray, which was lost with thirty-four of her passengers a month ago, has drifted in on the beach about ten miles above the village. A large quantity of her cargo still remained aboard, and this was being footed by h. dlans. In the cargo was a large quantity of liquor, of which the Indians partook freely In their drunkenness they began to wantonly destroy the cargo.
 The report states that a number of bodies were found in the cabin of the schooner. The bodies of Missionary Gam ble and his wife and child were found locked in each others arms in their state room. Several other bodies were found about the deck lashed in different posi- tions. Police officers will be dispatched to the Coast from Victoria, and as many of the bodies as can be found will, if pOs- sible, be brought to this city.

CAMINETTI HAS NOT
 YET BEEN NOMINATED
Opposition of Enemies Causes His Philippine Job to Be
 Held Up

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The nom- ination of Congressman Caminetti as judge advocate general, with the rank of major, which has been con- fidently expected each day by the Cali fornia delegation, is held up. It ap- pears that some of Caminetti's enemies are opposing him. Senator Perkins called on the President to-day in refer ence to the matter, but received no as- surance that the appointment would be made Representative Loud stole a march on Senator Perkins, with whom he is at war, and succeeded in having his friend Sargent s. Morton appointed Receiver of Public Moneys at San Francisco. The first Perkins knew of it was when he saw Morton's name in to-day's list of nominations. He will not oppose his confirmation. Morton is well known in San Francisco, having been engaged in the draying and trans fer business there, mixing in politics occasionally. He has been one of Rep resentative Loud's stanch supporters.

Cuban Postal Service.

NEW YORK, June 24.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Five mailing clerks have been detailed to go aboard the Government war vessel that is to leave Key West on Sunday or Monday with United States mail for soldiers and sailors in Cuba. After this first shipment of mail the department hopes to have it's old Cuban service re- established by which mail will be taken from Key West regularly once a week. The officials are pleased at the pros pect of having the swift Herald Call boats as part of their postal fleet.

 Edward Marshall, New York correspondent, was at the front with the Rough Riders and was seriously wounded. A number of newspaper men have gone with food and water and surgeon to bring Marshall to the coast. The enemy had received reinforce ments from Santiago, who brought with them ten field pieces. They are fortifying the hill at Sevilla, which commands the road to Santiago.
 The Rough Riders have re- ceived high praise from General Shafter for the gallant style in which they defeated the Span iards. The enemy were utterly routed.
 General Castillo, with 2OOO Gu bans, reports having defeated the Spaniards of Guasina with heavy loss. The Cuban losses were less than fifty. The insurgents cap tured two railroad trains laden with food supplies and 100 tons of coal. Further re-enforcenents of Cubans are expected shortly. Transports are now en route to Cerra to get General Garcia and his forces, who will be brought here as quickly as possible.
 Large quantities of supplies and number of horses were landed at Siboney this morning. The landing was covered by the Montgomery, Suwanee, Scorpion and Wampatuck. They shelled the woods hotly, driving out the enemy.
 The troops sent out in advance were commanded by General Young. The Rough Riders were on his flank, several miles further inland. They were guarding him from surprise. Of the cavalry there were in the expedition sev- eral troops of the First and Tenth and eight battalions of Rough
