WASHINGTON, April 2.--President Nc
Kinley was one of an immense throng OF
distinguished persons who tonight attended
a brilliant reception in honor of Captain
Sigsbee, commander of the wrecked battle
ship Maine. 1t was formal reception given
him by the National Geographic Society of
this city, and President Mckinley laid aside
work upon his message long enough to go
over and join the guests. Considerably
over thousand people were there. Prof.
Alexander Graham Bell. the scientist, re-
ceived with Captain Sgsbee as the president
of the society The line of guests occupied
two hours in passing the parlors of the Ar
Hngton Hotel. Secretary Long, detained at
q dinner, arrived late and stopped a few
moments The Presidents arrival was the
signal for an outburst of cheering. He re-
fused to take advantage of the general
movement TO make way for him, pTeferring
to remain in line and meet the Names
commander when his time came. AS he
reached him the President grasped
his hand with the remark, Captain,
it gives me great pleasure to have the hon
or of meeting you, and with a few brief
words of congratuation passed on to the
ballroom amid cheering and the strains of
Hail to the Chief" The hotel parlors were
decorated for the affair with American flags
and bunting and profusion of flowers. The
Marine Band, under the leadership of San

selections during the evening, and a de-

old age. She ayers that the doctor urged
his suit with the feryor of much younger
man, and that he anointed himself with
such delightful perfumes and dyed his beard
and hair in such an adroit and skillful
manner that he easily deceived her into the
belief that he was only tfty-six years old.
She also alleges that the doctor took drugs
that tended to rejuvenate him, ana TINS
added to the deception caused by dyed
whiskers and perfumes. After their mar
riage she claims she discovered the decep-
ton that he had practiced on her, and found
that instead of being welded to hale and
vigorous man in the prime of life she had
become a nurse for a decrepit invalid or
four score and five years. She accuses him
of treating her with extreme cruelty ana
beastiality, and in consequence of which
her health gave away and her life was en-
dangered. She brands all the doctors ac-
cusationS against her as false, and says
that one of her grounds for cross complaint

anxiety as to what happened yesterday
evening and to-day, with the two armies
separated by the short space of mile
and a half
An explanation of this state of affairs
was found in the fact that Gen. Shafter
failed to take with him from Tampa the
splendid field telegraph service that had
been prepared with much care by Gen.
Greeley for just such a campaign as is
now being waged 1t is probable that he
has already seen his error and win avail
himself Of the instruments just as soon
as they can be sent 10 him.
There was a general expression OF grief
at the loss sustained by the soldiers in
yesterdays fight. Still, the officials In
high places expressed themselves as thor
oughly satisfied with the result realizing
that war cannot be successfully waged
without sacrifice of life.
The impression gained from one Of Gen.
Skaters dispatches Is that he is now
about to delay his advance until he has
secured his artillery. Such a course Will
be dictated by common prudence, for II
is known that the Spaniards have forti-
fed as far as they could advanced posi-
tons outside Of Santiago and it would be
the hight of folly TO throw soldiers un-
supported by artillery against SUCH WORKS.
Unfortunately there promises 70 De
some delay In landing all the artillery
owing to the loss on the voyage to san
tlago of the big lighter which seems to be
necessary to transfer the heavy guns
from the ships TO the landing pier
The naval authorities have responded
promptly TO the appeal Of the war de-
partrnent and some means will be found
through the aid of the warships to acceia-
rate the landing of the supplies and guns

Gen. Miles held several conferences, NOT

Simultaneous with this Gen Henry'e

hood of 1900 TO l4OO0 men. Drafts on

The war department is acting on the
theory that it is not polite TO take any
possible chance of a serious reverse near
Santiago.
The latest information reaching the au-
thorlties here shows that the Spanish
army is greater than has been estimated
thus far.
Lieut. Joyce of the regular army, report
ed to Gen. Miles to-day, giving much In
formation as to the number and location
of the Spanish troops Before Lieut.. Joyce
entered the United States army he had
served with Gen. Garcia and had travers-
ed a good part of Santiago province. He
was on the ground only a few weeks ago
leaviug there in April, and at that time
he had opportunities 20 get an accurate
idea of the Spanish forces at the eastern
end of the island He reports the num-
Der az 81. 600, of which 1900 are in Santiago,

once concentrated at Santiago this would
make a formidable army}tbut separated by
forest and mountain, the insurgents are
expected to keep the force at Holguin and
Manzanillo from getting to Santiago.
one of the curious features of the stu
alton was the opening of direct communi-
cation between the Spaniards at Santiago
and the outside world over the French
cable through the medium OF an American
military censor. This was effected to-day
by the restoration of the circuit running
from Santiago overland to the place on the
shore within the American lines-Playa
del Este-Where the cable begins which
runs across to Cape Haytien. Al the
junction sits the American army officer
who discharges tho duty of a censor. So far
only test messages have gone through
binary business that is able 10 pass sue
cessfully both American and Spanish cen
sorship.

manner as the other one. and when the
machine guns opened fire the Spaniards
sent volleys at the gunners from the
brush on the opposite hill side. Three
troops of cavalry charged up the hill, and
the other troop sent a storm of bullets at
every point from which the Spanish shots
came. The enemy was gradually forced
back, though firing all the time, until
they, as well as those confronting the
rough riders, ran for the block house,
only to be dislodged by Col Woods men.
Gen. Young stated afterward that the
battle was one of the sharpest he had ever
experienced
1t was only the quick and constant fire
of the troopers, whether they could see
the enemy or not that forced the Spanish
to retreat SO soon.
Gen. Young spoke in the highest terms
of the conduct of the men in his command,
and both Col Wood and Lieut., Col. Roose-
welt were extremely graufied with the
work done by the Rough Riders on the
first occasion of their being under fire.
When IT became evident that the Span
iards were giving up the fight, searching
parties went through the thicket and tall
grass picking up the dead and wounded.
The latter We're carried to a field hospi-
tai, half a mile to the rear, and all pos
sible attention was given them, while pre-
paration was also made to remove them
to Juragua.
Twelve dead Spaniards were found in
the bush, but the Americans made no spe-
cbal efforts to ascertain the enemy's loss.
1t is believed, however, that the bodies
found represented only a small proportion
Of the dead, and a conservative estimate
is that at least fifty Spaniards feA in the

fight was over.
IL was necessary to send large supply
of provisions to the soldiers from the base
of supplies at Juragua, and the only
means of doing this was by pack trains,
which are necessarily slow.
1t is believed that the troops will be
free from attack where they are and that
the Spaniards will not attempt to repeat
the plan they adopted to-day of blocking
the onward march of the Americans in
the direction of Santiago.
1t is thought they win make their last
stand at the city itself, trusting that
with the assistance of the shore batteries
and the guns on the warships in the
harbor they will be able to repel the
American troops, force them back to the
sea coast and either capture them or drive
them from the island

cruiser Yale Thursday.
Both regiments arrived here this morn
ing from Camp Alger. the Massachusetts
regiment reaching the city at O'Clock and
the other troops three hours later.
Immediately upon their arrival the
troops were marched to a beautiful lawn
stretching out along the historic James
river and bivouacked near where the Con-
federate ship Merrimac engaged and sunk
the Congress and Cumberland
Here the men were fed after which they
were dlioWtu SeNeEdl HOufS liberty ana
they took the town. for It was the first
freedom the soldiers had had since they
lefr their homes for Camp Alger.
At 2 o'clock the retreat was sounded and
guards sent out 10 bring the soldiers back
to camp. An hour or 50 later the march
to the wharf began and from the dock the
men were transported TO the Harvard
which was lying some distance out IN tie
stream.
A large crowd Of people assembled on the
beach and cheered the soldiers as they
went aboard the cruiser and the cheering
was returned with a will.
Some Of the companies checked short
after going aboard the Harvard, but this
Is easily accounted for as some OF the Inen
had wandered out of reach Of the ougle
call. They will go aboard tomorrow morn

Now that the American land forces are
threatening the city of Santiago de Cuba
the typographical situation prevailing in
that vicinity becomes interesting.
Baiquri, where the first landing was
made, and Juragua,, where Gen, Lawtons
headquarters were last night, are both
small coast towns in the throat of narrow
cuts through a range of low hills fringing
all the southern coast.
Baiquiri is twelve miles east of Santiago
and JuTagua is eight miles east of that
city by the coast line road, which runs
behind the hills twice far.
1t is called here wagon road, but 1t
is only practicable for heavy two wheeled
carts, having six bullocks yoked to them
tandem fashion and drawing very small
load
The pioneers report that the trail is
practicable for artillery and pack trains,
but 1t is unspeakably bad even for walk
ing though it is reasonably level Our
troops have now passed all the small hills
intervening between here and Santiago.
The remaining twelve miles by road is
over a practically open country.
However, the road has been walled and
in most places overarched with impregna-
BILE jungle growth, thorns and creepers.
smelling like the interior of a fragrant
overheated conservatory and picturesque
with splashes of tropic color In oleanders
and other flowers, but terrible for troops
For half a mile near Demajayaho,
small stream runs in the road and the
men have been compelled to walk in wa
ter.
Incidentally the medical advice about
wet feet, night winds or perspiration soak
ed bodies and the necessity of boiling
drinking water has already been thrown to
the winds Easy as the advice sounds at
home, it is almost impossible to follow ii
here.
Some of The American officers who are
familiar with Arizona say they have never
seen soldiers on the plains present such
pictures of distress from the heat, and
they add that the only wonder is that there
are so few -prostrations at present
The American stature and apparent
stamina are remarkable In comparison
with the Cubans and Spaniards. The color
ed soldiers of the Twenty-fifth and Tenth
Regiments are uniformly large, and they
seem black giants in the jungle besides the
tiny negro Cuban guides.

official information that would supply data
missing from the press accounts.
