Torpedo Boat Ericsson Was Ordered

Charleston, S. c.. July 12.-Lieut. Nathaniel
Usher, of the torpedo boat Ericsson. says
of the naval battle off Santiago:
1--WE We're with the New York, at Altares,
when Admiral Sampson was preparing to go
ashore. While there about 9:35 o'clock, We
heard sound of firing. and the order was
given to return as it was apparent that the
enemy was coming from the harbor. The

The first two Spanish ships seemed TO be en-
gaging the Brooklyn. The Iowa and Indiana
were shooting at torpedo boats and the last
ship which came out. When got to the en-
trance of the harbor the forts were still
fighting. but both torpedo boats had been

AT CAMP M'CALLA.
Precautions Against Yellow Fever,
Which Exists at Caimanera.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, July 12.-Tbe known presence of yell
low fever at Caimanero Guanatamo and
other towns in the vicinity of Camp McCaila
and along the coast has resulted in the es-
tablishment of the strictest quarantine.
Hereafter no communication will be allowed
with the north side of the bay and no one
will be permitted to land from vessels en-
tcring the harbor here without a special
permit from the commanding officer. This
may result in considerable Inconvenience to
the newspaper dispatch boats. 1t also cuts
off communication with the insurgent forces
around Guantanamo under the command of
General Perez and the regiment of Colonel
Thomas. The rules will also be rigidly in
forced at Camp McCalla, although the gem
eral health of the American marines is re-
markably good.
The Spaniards in and around Caimanera
have been showing great activity during the
last two or three days and their forces
there have been apparently increased from
Guantanamo The boldness of the launches
in venturing up beyond the port and the
presence of a large number of war ships in
the lower bay have evidently led the Span
iards to believe that an attack is planned
at that point.

Spain Has Made No Overtures and
America Has Not Fixed Terms.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Secretary of
State Day to-day authorized the statement
that no peace overtures of any kind has
been made. Although this statement has
been repeated day after day ii may bear
repetition once more in view of the express
denial given at the State Department to so
much OF the stories emanating from Eu-
ropean sources as seek to create the i'm
preston that the United States government
or any of its representatives so far has
made any move in this direction. The fact
is to-day as it has been: The first overtures
in the direction OF peace must come from
SPAIN directly or indirectly.
The dispatch from Madrid detailing the
stories of alleged peace conditions was
looked ON as a "feeler." 1t is said that no
such proposition has gene from this gov
eminent. TIE alleged terms-Spanish evacu-
alton of Cuba and Porto Rico $40. 900 900
war indemnity and retention of the Philip
pines until the indemnity is paid-are in
general line with the conjecture afloat here
for some time. but officials never have given
this conjecture any Endorsement, and if the
Madrid dispatch is put forward as a feel
err it has not proved successful in inducing
the authorities to disclose their position on
these terms as whole or separately.
officials here as likely TO bring about
direct issue on whether Spain will sue for
peace or continue the war TO the bitter
end. The retiring premier, Sagasta, has
been for war. Now that he retires the
Queen Regent must make choice between
a premier and Cabinet more radical than
Sagasta for war. or else a peace Cabinet
The idea of officials here is that the middle
ground occupied by Sagasta is no longer
tenable, and that the Cabinet of the next
few days will be radical either for war or
for peace. If for peace the negotiations are
expected to take form very soon. If for
war then the peace conjecture will be sum-
marily disposed of and at the same time
there will be assurance of stubborn Span
ish resistance. The departure of the French
ambassador last evening takes out of town
for the present every diplomatic chief likely
to be interested in any foreign movement
connected with the war.

Correa, the minister of war, does not dis
agree with the other Cabinet ministers so
seriously as is generally supposed and in
view of the gravity of the Cuban situation
it is possible he will no longer oppose peace,

to the request of United States Consul

for an alleged privateer which, according
to reports which reached the ears of the
consul. lies hidden in the vicinity of Dixon

full. as no reliable reports regarding it have
been received.
