While the Americans lost in the bat
tie about 500 men, the casualties intiict-
ed upon the Spaniards were enormous.
The loss of the Americans is compiled
from the official list.
Over $50 dead Spaniards were found
in one intrenchment alone after che
battle was over.

The nloe.sade Extended.

Washington: The President has is
sued proclamation extending the
blockade OF Cuba TO the southern coast
from Cape Frances TO Cape Cruz inclu-
sive and also blockading San Juan,
Porto Rico. Neutral vessels, lying in
any of the ports to which the blockade
is by the present proclamation eX-
tended. will be allowed 30 days to is
sue therefrom with cargo.
The blockade of San Juan proclaimed
is a reality, having been initiated by
Capt. Sigsbee last week, when he
turned back British steamer laden
with supplies.
The President thus gave notice of
blockading about 800 miles of Cuban
coast line in addition to the sections
already blockaded. The blockade has
been confined heretofore TO little
more than 100 miles on the north and
the single port of Cienfuegos on the
south coast. The new bloclSaded coast
line lies entirely within the great blight
on the south Cuban coast, in which the
water is generally very shallow and
the ports are few into which a vessel
of any draft could enter. The object
of blockading that coast is to cut off
supplies which have been reaching
Havana through points on that coast.
The vessels for the additional block
ade service will be supplied almost en-
tirely from the patrol fleet which has
been guarding the north Atlantic coast.

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
American Forces Speedily Pushed the
Spanish into Santiago.

Within week after the landing of
American troops near Santiago one
battle had been fought and the entire
Spanish forces had been driven within
the intrenchments surrounding the
city of Santiago, and the Americans
had moved in force to within two or
three miles of the doomed city. The
troops were moved without serious de-
lay, and pushed forward rapidly, but
the movement of the pack trains, wag-
Observation-Disclosures and artillery taxed the
skill and endurance of the officers and
men to the utmost. From Baiquiri,
where the artillery was landed, to the
point of concentration, the road runs
through tangle of tropical under
growth, up and down steep hillsides
and over treacherous swamp bordered
streams, for distance of over IL miles.
Through this continuous thicl1et en-
gineers set at work leveling the track
and filling pits, while large force of
regulars and volunteers with axes,
aided by Cubans with machetes, began
hacking down trees and clearing out
the brush TO enable the heavy artillery
to be brought up to the front.
Meanwhile the American front adj
vanced to within a mile of the Spanish
intrenchments. The main force of in
fantry encamped on the Santiago side
of the Guiana river and the cavalry
under Gen. Wheeler held the rear, be-
tween the Guiana river and the Sevilla
hills. The Cubans easily took posses
sion of the Spanish blockhouses be-
tween their intrenchments and the
the American forces. Gen. Lawton,
Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Wheeler thor
oughly reconnoitered the Spanish posi-
ton and, with the aid of information
furnished by the Cubans, secured very
good maps of the roads and defenses of
the city. Much information was also
obtained from Spanish pacifcos, who
gave themselves up in the hope of get
ting food. They report great starva-
ton and distress in Santiago. They
say the Spanish troops are on short RAJ
tions and that all the supplies are be-
ing held for their use.

The Situation at Manila.

A Manila dispatch via Hong Kong
says the presence of five German war
ships in the harbor continues to be the
are much ashore and are on friendly
terms with the Spanish officials. The
German fleet surpasses the American
squadron both in tonnage and arma-
ment. The German and American
warships are not displaying much cor
duality. An American official at Cavite
writes as follows: IF great bloodshed
and destruction come to Manila, Spain
may justly blame the Germans. Ma
Mia would have surrendered before
the arrival of the German squadron
without bloodshed, but now, owing to
the moral support of its presence, the
city refuses to surrender"
Madrid: Dispatches received from
Manila say the Spaniards are deter
mined to fight to the death, and that
there is every reason to believe that
when the American troops arrive des-
pcrate fighting will occur. 1t is sup
posed at Manila that the German war
ships will prevent the bombardment
of that place. and it is alleged that
Prince Henry, of Prussia, is on his way
there on board warship. The gov
eminent has wired Capt.-Gen. August
at Manila TO resist TO the end, as the
voyage of Admiral Camara will be ex-
pedited.
Manila: The report that Germany
will not permit bombardment is ex-
citing deep irritation in the American
fleet. Admiral Dewey intends to de-
mand equalization the instant rein
forcements arrive.

NOTES ON THE WAR SITUATION

0 President Mckinley will soon issue
another call for volunteers, probably
for $50, 900 men. Such is the report in
official quarters in Washington.
The engineer corps with Gen. Shat
ter, under Cuban guides cut the mains
of Santiago's watcrworls and now the
Spaniards must depend on cisterns.
Spanish officials threaten to bcstow
independence upon Porto Rico subject
to certain commercial advantages being
reserved for Spain. The object is TO
forestall American Intervention.
Uncle Sam has the finest hospital
ship afoat now on the way to Santiago.
The Relief is fitted in the most APP
proved hospital style and has all the
latest surgical appliances, including
two complete X-ray outfits. She also
has distilling, refrigerating and water
carbonating plants.
Gen. Shafter learned from the Cubans
that Gen. Pando was moving eastward
from Manzanillo with S,7OO picked
men TO reinforce the Spanish at San
tiago. A force of 200 Cubans under
Gen. Rios was harassing the Spaniards
at every possible point, but he sent
two messengers TO the American camp
saying he could not hold Pando in
check much longer. Gen. Shafter re-
quested Gen. Garcia to send a strong
force TO the aid of Rios. Garcia at once
selected 1000 of his best fighters under
Gen. Rabi, and they at once embarked
on transports for Serado, from whence
they will march to Las Palmas.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1898-07-08
THE WAR SITUATION.

The Spaniards have planted dyna-
mite mines in every road into Santiago.
The British Glosiap and East Lothian
have sailed from Philadelphia with
5000 tons of coal for Admiral Dewey.
A military telegraph station has been
established at Sevilla, thus bringing
Gen. Shafter into direct communica-
ton with the war department.
While oiling the machinery in the
Delta Lumber Co.'S mill at Detroit,
Anthony Lawrence was caught by the
betting of large fly-wheel and was
torn to pieces instantly between the
fly-wheel and stanchion post.
The road over which ordinance and
supplies must be brought to Santiago
is over steep hills densely lined by I'M
derbrush. But very little danger is
apprehended of a flank attack, and it
is evident Gen. Linarcs is acting strictly
on the defensive.
While on blockade duty off the south
coast of Cuba the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee captured five sloops carrying
supplies from the Isle of Pines to Bat
abano, evidently for shipment to Hav-
ana. The crews were put ashore and
the sloops were burned.
\ Cuban spy who was recently in
Santiago says reign of terror exists
among all classes there owing to the
nightly attacks of the Vesuvius with
the terrible explosion of her dynamite
shells. He SAYS that over 100 Spanish,
including a high officer were killed in
the battle with the rough riders.
The war department is completing
arrangements for furnishing beef and
other supplies for the army and starv-
ing Cubans. Supply ships will make
trips to Cuban points about every 10
days. The sum of S. 900, 600 has been
placed at the disposal of the commits
sary department for this purpose.

The Glorious Fourth.

The Fourth of July in the state was
apparently not observed in so noisy a
manner as in former years. In many
places no arrangements had been made
for an official observance of the day.
but the news of Simpsons destruction
of Cervera's fleet at Santiago de Cuba
changed matters. 1t caused great ex-
citement and enthusiasm. Parades
were formed, bands played patriotic
airs and general rejoicing ensued. A
noticeable feature was the decrease in
interest in sporting events. Where
programs had already been arranged
the glorious news added immensely to
the enthusiasm.

sigsbce Knocked out the Terror.

Washington: Capt Sigsbee reports
that while off San Juan, Porto Rico,
he was attacked by a Spanish unpro-
tected cruiser and the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror. The Terror
made dash which was awaited
by the st. Paul. The st. Paul hit the
Terror three times, killing one officer
and two men and wounding several
others. The Terror dropped back UNI
der cover of the Notifications with
difficulty. and was towed into the har-
Dor in a sinking condition, where She
is now being repaired. Later, cruiser
and a gunboat started out. but re-
manned under protection of the forts.
In defeating the Terror, Capt. Sigs-
bee has not only deprived Simpsons
feet of apprehension of an attack in
the rear some dark night. but he has
demonstrated that an auxiliary cruiser
is able to take care of herself against
torpedo gunboat. The torpedo gun
boat was an untried quality in naval
warfare up to this time. She is swifter
than a torpedo boat and is seaworthy.

More Relnforcements for shafter.

A Washington special says ali the
cavalry available has been ordered to
reinforce Shafter at once. The trans
ports Mohawk and Mississippi, with
capacity for 800 men and horses, have
been ordered to sail for Tampa at once.
Cavalry is absolutely necessary in an
attack on Santiago. Orders have also
been issued for the departure of an
other large army expedition from
Tampa, composed of about 1900 men
of the Second division of the Fourth
army corps, under command of Brig
Gen. Snyder, and six batteries of artil-
lery, three light and three heavy. Gen.
Snyder's division consists of the 18th
and 10Th U. S. regulars, First Ohio,
First Illinois, First District of Column
bia, Second New York, Third Pennsyl-
vania, Fifth Maryland and 157th In
diana volunteers. This will bring Gen.
Skaters force up to 10000 men.

NIarpalI,s gloomy Forcos,.

Madrid, July Sin an interview ex-
President ri y Margall, who was for
merly president of the Spanish repub-
lie, expressed himself pessimistically
as to the war. He said: I'VE shall ex-
haust ourselves and ruin the country.
The country, Infatuated. will revolt.
The war must be stopped. The harm
1t is doing is terrible. We are hurry
ing toward bankruptcy and ruin with
inconceivable carelessness and incom-
prehension. The government ought to
recognize the independence of Cuba
and ask for peace from the United
States"

Eastern Squadron in Preparation.

Washington, July 5.-There has
been no break in the preparation of
Watson's squadron. It's departure
will follow quickly the fall of San
tiago. Watson is with Sampson now.
and. while the siege goes on. the plans
for the details of the new Eastern
squadron are being advanced. From
the latest reports which Admiral
Sampson has sent. II is believed at the
Navy Department that the squadron
can be assembled. coaled. provisioned
and started direct.

Strike In State Printing ONCE.

The Robert Smith Printing Co., of
Lansing, which recently secured the
state printing ann binding contracts,
is tied 10 on account of strike of all
the employees The men claim that
they gave the proprietors notice that
they would insist on nine hours as a
days labor. The firm bid close to the
margin and state that under the terms
of the contract it would be suicidal to
accede to the wishes of the men. The
strike promises to be stubborn fight.

Detroit was well filled with visitors
on the occasion of the annual conven-
ton of the supreme commandery of the
Knights of st. John Catholic. Over
5000 members of the order, including
about 1000 uniformed Knights, poured
into the city to participate in the big
parade and the convention. The pa
rade was the picturesque feature of the
gathering and drew an immense crowd
of spectators. There was lots of music
and the brilliant uniforms made most
spectacular exhibition.
Pontifical high mass was celebrated
in st. Mary's church for the benefit of
the delegates. Music by special choir
of so voices and an orchestra of IS
pieces was feature of the ceremony.
The first business session of the con-
vention consisted principally in adj
dresses of welcome by Mayor Maybury,
Bishop Foley and Capt. John Il. Toden-
bier, chairman of the executive COM
mittee. Gen. Werst, supreme COM
mander, responded.
The reports of officers showed the or
der to be in prosperous condition.
Although the number of Communicates
expelled and the new ones organized
balanced-15 each-the new command
cries brought more members than were
lost with the old ones. The total men,
bership is 10, 1863. The ladies' auxiliary
has a membership of 3 800; 2S auxilia-
ries were chartered the past year.
There are Is cadet Communicates, their
total membership being 5S4. Supreme

POWERS AND PHILIPPINES.
Alleged Agreement to Oppose United
States and Britain.

suites ana Brltain.
Berlin, July 4.-On the best au-
thority it is said that Germany,
France and Russia have reached an
understanding relative to the Philip
pine Islands. 1t is said these three
powers do not intend to actively in
terfere until hostilities cease, after
which they will combine to prevent
the United States or Great Britain
gaining possession of the whole of the
Philippine Islands. When the war is
over an international congress will
be proposed, similar to the Berlin
congress of 1878. to settle all ques-
tioins connected with the war. All
the great powers will be invited to
join, including the United States and
Spain. 1t appears certain that Ger
many will demand a slice of the Phil
ippine Islands or other compensa-
ton in the far East.
