ON TO THE PHILIPPINES.
CamAra's Squadron Said to Have
Reached Port Said on the Way
to Attack Dewey.

London, June PA dispatch from
Alexandria, Egypt, states that the Span
ishs squadron, with transports, has ar
rived at Port Said. Port Said is at the
Mediterranean entrance OF the Suez
canal.
Considerable comment as to Admiral
Camara's movements is heard. His
stopping at Port Said is puzzling, but
the assumption is that he probably is
awaiting fresh instructions from Mad
rid. Few believe he will ever reach
Manila or Iloilo, which is regarded as
a more likely destination, owing to coal
ing difficulties A dispatch from Cairo
says: eff Admiral Camara Goals at
Port Said he would not, under the neu-
trality law, be allowed to enter the Suez
canal. It is supposed if he traverses
the canal that he will endeavcr to
obtain coal at Obock, on the Gulf of
Aden." In any event the matter is re-
garded as of no Importance, since it is
recognized that he can do nothing toin-
terfere with the American operations
or retard the fall of Manila.
Port Said, June 27.-Admiral Ca
mara's squadron is in the harbor await
ing orders. It consists of the battle
ship Pelayo, Admiral Camara's flag
ship; the iron-clad Emperado Carlos
Quintos, two armored cruisers, three
torpedo boats and five transports carry
ing 1000 troops.
Madrid, June 27.-The arrival If the
Spanish fleet at Port Said causes so sur
prise here, Admiral Camara having an
nounced that he was going to the Phil
ippines. The threat of the American
government to attack the Spanish coast
has had no effect. A third squadron is
preparing for the defense of the coast.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1898-06-30

A member of the cabinet in an inter-
view said: 'sLet them come. We will
receive them as they deserve
Washington, June 81 Notwith-
standing the report of the arrival
of Admiral Camara's squadron at
Port Said, the westerly entrance to the
Suez canal, the officials here still! doubt
that the vessels are bound for the Phil
ippines. Rumors reach here, uncon-
firmed as yet, that the only iropclads
in the squadron, the Pelayo and Carlos
", have left the squadron and returned
to Spain, so that Camara no longer pos
sesses force that would threaten
Dewey. If this be so, either the Span
iards have realized the folly of leaving
their home ports unprotected or they
have received information from the
British government that the navigation
of the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized
by allowing such deep draft, unwieldy
ironclads to attempt the passage.
Some attention has been attracted at
the state department. by the dispatch
from Madrid to a British paper stating
that Camara's purpose is not to attack
Dewey, but to seize and hold with his
ships another island in the Philippine
group. It's supposed, if this be Sc, that
the object is purely diplomatic, the
Spanish government being anxious to
truthfully assert, in the event that
peace snegotia tons are forced upon it,
that the United States is not in such
complete occupancy of the Philippines
as would justify a demand for theirre-.
tentionsas one Of the terms Of peace.
The story printed by an English news
paper of the killing Of Capt. Bob
Evans and some of his men in the
coming tower Of the Iowa by a shell of
the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya, is pro-
.nounced at the navy department to be
cruel canard. No word was received
from Sampson Sunday and with cable
line near him it is not imagined for
a moment that he would fail to report
Immediately an occurrence Of such
gravity. Probably the sole foundation
for this story was the attack made about
a week ago by Sampson upon the forts
at the entrance Of Santiago harbor in
which the Spanish cruiser Reina Mer-
cedes was sunk and one Of the Spanish
torpedo boats disabled. The report
originated in Spanish source ana the
officials Of both the war and navy de-
partments are expecting that numb ers
of such canards will be put afoat
throughout the campaign.

Increased Tonnage.

Commissioner of Navigation Cham.
berlain of Washington said that the
Minnesota law with regard to tax on
vessels will result In a great increase
in the total tonnage of vessels docu-
mented at Duluth, the only lake port
in the state. The law referred to was
passed in 1886, and has already result
ed in great increase in tonnage as
reported by the collector of customs.
& The tonnage of vessels documented
at Duluth in 1892 was 1,4OO; in 1895 it
had increased to 5,4S5, and in 1897 to
the grand total of &c, 900 tons. Com
missioner cham berlain estimates that
the returns to be made July will
show very substantial increase over
last year; probably to 1GO, 900 tons.
