Kingston, Jamaica, July 1.-tCopy-
righted, 1898, by the Associated Press.l
Major General Shafter has decided to
establish his headquarters in the field
and he will occupy a tent with Cen
eral Wheeler until he decides upon
permanent location for his headquar-
ters.
There is every indication that Jura-
qua will cease to be the headquarters
for the army. other than for the medi-
cal and commissary departments, in
two or three days. A sufficient force
to guard the place will be left there,
probably from the volunteer force Of
5000 men now coming from Tampa,
and practically the entire fighting force
will swing into Caney or Aguadores,
making the base of operations before
Santiago de Cuba at this place. The
railroad from here to Santiago is being
rapidly pushed by the engineers and a
large force of troops. Its completion
will greatly simplify the movement OF
supplies and the pack train will have no
more arduous work than transporting
the food and ammunition from point
TO point at the front. The siege guns
have been landed at Baiquiri and hay q
started for the front.

Nations Honor to Its Common seamen.

Washington, July S0-As great an
honor as man can confer upon man has
been bestowed by the American people
upon seven jackies of the United States
navy. The senate has adopted the res
olutions recommended by the president
rendering the thanks of congress to Ma
val Constructor Hobson and the other
heroes of the Merrimac, and to Lieuten-
ant Frank II. Newcomb, commander of
the revenue cutter Hudson, for his gall
liant rescue of the Winslow and her crew
off Cardenas, and retiring on full pay
Captain Hodgsdon of the McCulloch
for distinguished services at Manila.
Then the resolutions were amended
naming specifically the men who dis
tnguished themselves with Constructor
Hobson. Thus the senate established
a precedent that will be historical, for
it was the first time that either house
of congress rendered its thanks to COM
mon seamen, naming them in the reso-
luton.

BLEW UP A BRIDGE.
n Entrance into santiago Cut or by the
Spaniards.

Kingston, Jamaica, July spanish
soldiers have blown up the big railroad
bridge which was across the inlet COM
ing in from the sea near MORO castle
at Santiago. 1t was the intention of
General Shafter to make rush for this
bridge and direct an attack upon the
city from that point as well as from
the other side of the city. The Span
iards. however. have spoiled this part OF
the programme. Dynamite was used
to blow up the bridge, and the costly
iron structure was entirely destroyed.
Intrenchments are being thrown up
near the damaged abutments.
Cuban scouts from Santiago arrive at
the American headquarters every hour.
They say the American army can be
seen from the housetops of Santiago,
and that the Spaniards have settled
down with grim determination of re-
pulsing the attack or dying in the at
tempt. Food is scarce, only rice being
obtainable by the poorer classes, and
that in meager quantities.

cERVERA's REPORT.
1t Has Been Made to HIS Government.


Washington. July 2S.-Admiral Cervera
has forwarded to the Spanish government
through the French embassy, his full re-
port of the naval engagement which re-
suited in the annihilation of the Spanish
feet. The re port is very long and treats
of the great engagement even more elabo-
rately than Simpsons report to the Navy
Department..
Admiral Cervera's report, although ad-
dressed to the Spanish Minister of Marine,
was, submitted to the American Navy De-
partment first, in order that precautions
might be taken, usual in the case of COM
munications passing between prisoners of
4 war and the enemy. The examination
made by the naval authorities here was
solely for the purpose of precaution and
care was taken not to 1ntrude into the
privacy of the document beyond this
necessary inspection. 1t was sent to Am
bassador Cambon to be forwarded to the
Spanish Admiralty. The strictest secrecy
has been observed while the document
has been in tran sit and in order to avoid
conjectural stories as to the contents of
| the report, it can be stated that no inti-
nation as to its contents has been allowed
to escape from the few persons through
whom it has passed en- route to the
| Spanish minister of marine.
| If the Ceryera report ever reaches the
public it will be through the Spanish
government, although 1T is probable that
| the report is not of a character likely to
| be'made public at Madrid.

SERIOUS FOR COLOMBIA.

Washington. July 2S.-The demand of

Of the Cerrutt claim has not yet been

progress has been made towards an
adjustment. there is still a possibility
that the case may assume grave aspect
through action by the Italian feet sent
to demand a settlement.
1t appeas that the instructions to the
italian admiral gave him discretion as to
the mode of proceeding and allowed him
to give due courtesy to Colombia should
time be asked. For that reason it is under.

within which the claim should be paid.
Whether this is an ultimatum is not
clear, but in view Of Italy's position
the action of the admiral appears to be
very near if not quite, AN ultimatum to
