CAIRO, June 30-The following official
announcement was made this afternoon:
1.-THE Spanish ships at Port Said began
coaling from their own golfers, which ar
rived from Spain. The Egyptian govern
ment notified them that it could not allow
this, that the coaling must stop forthwith
and that the ships must also leave Port
Said, as the twenty-four-hou limit had
been greatly exceeded. The Spaniards then
stated that their ships wanted repairs and
began discharging coal and other material

PORT SAID. June SO.-The Egyptian gov
ernment has instructed the governor of
Port Said to stop the transshipment of coal
from the Spanish colliers here to the fleet
under command of Admiral Camara. 1t is
said that the Egyptian Foreign Office has
invited the Spanish minister, who is now
here, to advise Admiral Camara to with
draw his fleet from this harbor. The Span

which she left on the afternoon Of

She reports that the American

The Matsushima reports also that

A CONSUL's MASTER STROKE.
All the Coal at Port Said Purchased
for the United S4nteE

AOE TIC &11teEs
WASHINGTON, June SO.-It is announced
at the Navy Department this afternoon
that the Spanish Cadiz squadron has paid
the heavy Suez canal tolls and was about
proceeding eastward through the canal
though this statement was probably erron-
eous, in view of the later reports to the
press indicating that the Spanish vessels
were stopping for repairs. The advices only
hastened the preparations making for the
departure Of Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron. The commodore has reported to
the Navy Department his arrival off San
tiago, and is in consultation with Admiral
Sampson respecting the details of the cruise
which it is expected will occupy fully four
months, providing the war endures that
length of time. The delays to which the
Spaniards are subject at Port Said will re-
dound very greatly to the advantage of Ad-
miral Dewey, If Camara is still in reality
bound for the Philippines, for they insure
the arrival of almost the whole of General
Merritts military force, and ALMOST certain
ly of the cruiser Charleston andS the moni-
tors Monterey and Monadnock before the
Spanish squadron could reach Manila har-
Dor.
The government has done everything pos
sible within fair lines to prevent Camara's
feet from reaching the Philippines, and the
agents of the State Department have been
particularly successful in this work. United
States Consular Agent Broadbent has just
made a master stroke, which he reports to
the department. While the Spanish ships
were seeking permission of the Egyptian
government to take coal at Port Said the
consular officer succeeded in quietly buying
up all of the coal available at that port
fo1 70 -
good place to be shipped to Dewey or to
serve as a base of supplies for Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron when it enters
the Mediterranean, or to coal any American
vessels that may pass through the Suez
canal bound to the Asiatic station, If it
should be decided that it is permissible for
war ships to take on coal at Port Said.
The news that reached the department
through the press reports that Admiral Ca
mara is about to leave his torpedo boat de-
stroyerS at Port Said, because they would
be unable to weather the monsoons that
rage in the Indian ocean at this season. is
believed at the Navy Department to pre-
sage the dissolution of the squadron and the
abandonment of the cruise to the Philip
pines. AS these torpedo boat destroyers
have proved their ability to cross the At
lantic in bad weather, it is conjectured at
the department that the real reason for
turning back is one that is almost chronic
in the Spanish navy-namely breakdown
of the delicate machinery of the war craft
Leaving out the three torpedo boat destroy
ers-Audaz, Proserpina and Ordonez-there
is very little left in the squadron of an Of
fensive character aside from the battle ship
Pelayo and the cruiser Carlos v. At any
rate, the dropping of the destroyers will
weaken Camara's squadron so materially
as to make his defeat by Dewey a foregone
conclusion if they should come together.

WASHINGTON, June 30-The second ex-
pedition from Tampa to reinforce Shafter
appears to have encountered .almost as
many difficulties as the original expedition
in getting away. 1t was confidently ex-
pected here that the start would be made
from Tampa last Monday, but one diff
Guilty after another has arisen to retard the
movement so that it was with a feeling of
relief that the news came to the department
from Tampa that the flagship of the ex-
petition, the Hudson had swung out into
the stream and was ready TO lead the pro-
cession of transports. which it is believed
by this time are under way for Santiago.
The Hudson has on board about $50 infan-
trymen. The First Illinois Regiment of In
fantry loaded its property on the Gate City
and the City of Macon. There was not room
aboard the ships for the cavalry recruits
for some of the regiments in Santiago
which had been assembled at Tampa. Three
of the transports at Tampa took artillery
of which there are six light and eight
heavy batteries. Some difficulty was ex-
pected by the officials of the department in
dealing with the English crews of the
Unionist and the Specialist and the temper
displayed by them resulted in delaying the
loading of guns on board these vessels.
However, this work was finally completed
and the horses were put on the vessels to-
day. number of artiilerymen are to go

1t is calculated that the second INSTALL

the Harvard, and the steamer Yale is ex-

fed with the success attending this method
of transporting the troops from Camp
Alger. having found it to be NOT only much
more economical than the combined rail
and water route via Tampa, but more ex-
peditious. The steamers will be further
availed of in pursuance of Secretary Alger's
intention to continue to dispatch re-

has an overpowering force at his com

ground is lost in this way, for II there is

June 80, Z a. m.-The American troops spent
yesterday in feeling for the enemy, other
wise engaging in reconnoissances. General
Shafter, in person, with a small escort
went almost to Caney, a small town five
miles northeast of Santiago de Cuba, with
which city it is connected by rail. Lieut.
Standing and a detail of Cuban and Amer
lean sharpshooters occupied a small hill
northwest of the American lines and look
ing directly down on both Caney and San
tiago. Caney now seems to hold only about
three hundred Spanish troops, the number
reported by the Cuban scouts, in spite of
the belief of the Americans first here that
the three thousand Spaniards driven for
ward by our advance on Baiquiri and
Juragua had all retreated on Caney and
not on Santiago. The small number of
troops now at Caney indicates that the
Spaniards have practically evacuated the
place and this is believed to be the case
Lieut.. Standing was not moested during his
observation, though he passed through a
camp which twenty-four hours previously
had been occupied by a strong Spanish out
post.
Corporal Hucht, of Company d, Seventh
United States Infantry, who with seven
men, was sent on outpost duty two miles
from Santiago de Cuba yesterday morning
and was forgotten until the afternoon, was
found by General Shafter and sent into
camp. The men considered the whole affair
a good joke. They had repeatedly seen the
Spaniards, who did not offer to nlolest
them and the Americans spent the day as
If enjoying a picnic in the woods. The cor
poral said that if he had with him sufficient
force he could have brought in forty Span
ish prisoners.
