Santiago Reports That He Left Yes

GEN. GARCIA CONTINUES 10 FIGHT
He is Preparing to Attack HoIguin
and Manzanillo.
HIS DECREE TO CUBAN s

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. July q delayed
in Transmission).-Genral Miles left this
afternoon Thursday for Porto Rico.
The main body of the fleet lies at Guam
tanamo.
The Brooklyn is the only ship left off
Santiago.
The greater part of Garcia's army leaves
here at daybreak tomorrow.
Notwithstanding General Garcias bitter
complaint that he had been ignored and
that the restoration of the Spanish civil
authority in the city of Santiago was most
offensive to him, and that in consequence
of all this he had been forced to tender his
resignation as general in the Cuban army,
he is going on with his preparations for
a contest with the Spanish forces of Hol-
gum and Manzanillo quite as though moth
ing had happened.
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue a
decree authorizing all Cubans who have
been driven from their plantations and
country homes by the Spaniards, and who
have taken refuge for safety in the cities
and towns, to return to the country and go
to work on their farms and plantations,
assuring them of protection by his forces
He has added like permission to those in
his ranks who were recruited from the
farm lands or were employed in the fields
al the outbreak of the war.
Altogether 1t must be confessed that Gen.
eral Garcia's attitude is inexplicable His
permission to the men in his ranks to go
back to work on the farms is construed
TO mean an effort to disband his forces
But this may not be altogether justified.
1t Is certain a great many of them will
continue to fight.

Brings Sampson's Renorf.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 22-Lfeut
Hobson was met at Trenton by a reporter
for the Associated Press, who rode with
him as far Philadelphia. His passage
through Trenton was not known to the
citizens, and there was no demonstrate
at the depot
He said that he was on his way to the
Navy Department at Washington with Ad-
miral Sampson's report of the destruction
of Cervera's fleet, and he felt that it would
be out of place for him to discuss any of
the matters that were likely to be covered
by 1t.
Lieut.. Hobson was asked if he would saw
anything about his experience in taking the
Merrimac into Santiago narbor and sink
ing her. He said he felt an indelicacy in
discussing this matter, too, until the official
report had been submitted to the Navy De-
partment.
The lieutenants modest manner of ex-
pressing himself, however, gave the impress
sion that he does not egotistically regard
his heroic deed.
Asked as to his experience while in a
Spanish prison after his capture, he said
that again he considered it would be in
delicacy on his part to go into this subject
The treatment of himself and his men
naval department. All that he felt at lib
erty to say was that all of the men who
were with him in the sinking of the Merri-
mac are well and again back on duty.
Three of them had the fever, but are en-
trely recovered. AS for himself, he es-
capped the fever.
Lieut. Hobson was dressed in civilian
clothes and mis- presence on the train was
unknown to all of the passengers except
two or three who sat next to him in the
parlor car Ethel, in which he rode accom-
panied by a personal friend.
Lieut.. Hobson said that on his arrival at
Washington he would proceed at once to
the Navy Department.
The railroad officials stated this after
noon that the train carrying Lieut.. Hobson
is scheduled to reach the 9Th street depot,
in this city, at 1888 o'clock.

OFFICIALS ARE AMUSED.
Charged With Being Outwftted by
the Spanish Steamship Company.


The officials of the War Department ap-
pear to be more amused than indignant
over the published statements that the
Spanish steamship company which was
awarded the contract for carrying the pris-
oners from Santiago to Spain have stolen
a march on the authorities and secured
profitable contract. LAS matter of fact,
said Colonel F. J. Hecker, who negotiated
the contract with the steamship company,
1.-The department was fully aware of all
the circumstances in the case, and knew
just how many Spanish ships were in neu-
trail ports in the western hemisphere. In
stead of there being eight of these vessels
shut up in Mexican ports, as stated, there
are but two or three such vessels in the
whole western hemisphere available for
the work. Those which may be blockaded
in Cuban or Porto Rico ports are not avail
able for this work. The contract with the
company provides that whatever security
Is accorded their vessels as against our
army and navy is not to apply to ships
already seized or in blockaded ports. OF
course no armored ships could by any
means be permitted to take part in the
work of shipment, as the contract specifi-
cally provides that the ships SO engaged
shall have only such armament as is Gus
tomarily carried by merchant ships. No,
we were not taken by surprise at all, but
acted with full knowledge of all the cir
cumstances of the case"

1t was calculated at the War Department
that Gen. Miles military expedition against
Porto Ripo this
off the north coast Of Haiti. Secretary
Long says that according to his advices,
the fleet of transports with the naval con-
voy got away from off Slboney az $3.50 yes
terday afternoon, and 1t is believed that
they are travelling at about The usual naval
cruising speed, in squadron, of zen knots
per hour. The question of conveys settled
itself with the departure of the expedition,
but the naval officials are still of the opin-
ion that the convoy sent is entirely dis
prCportionate in strength to the needs of
the case, and the demands laid upon the
nCrth Atlantic fleet to supply it have in
terfered considerably with the plans of
the naval war board. This is supposed to
relate to the departure of Watson's exped-
ticn, but on that point the naval officials
decline to say anything further, simply
pointing to the statement given out last
night by Secretary Long as expressive Of
their views
Gen. Miles reported his arrival at lis
o'clock at Mole st. Nicholas, the boats
moving along well.

directing the fire that as little damage as
possible should be done to the city itself
and so far as could be observed, little. if
any, was done.
''All of our vessels were handled with
sound discretion and excellent judgment
by the several commanding officers, which
was to have been expected from the men
commanding the vessels of the navy"
Commander Todd led one of the most sue
cessful expeditions undertaken SO far by
the navy. The losses of the Spanish are
believed to have been in the neighborhood
of a hundred killed. The gunboats de-
stroyed or driven ashore were the Delgado,

count of the latest naval victory-that at

AT O'Clock on the morning of July Is
the vessels on blockade duty In this VI

the westward. AT 1880 the Wilmington and
Helena entered the northern channel, to-
ward the city. the Scorpion and Osceola
the midchannel, and the Hist, Hornet and
Wampatuck the south channel, the move
ments of the vessels being so timed as to
bring them within effective range of the
shipping at about the same moment
AT $50 fire was opened on the shipping
and after a deliberate fire lasting about
two and half hours three Spanish trans
ports. Ii Gloria, Jose Garcia and La Pu-
riciama Conception, were burned and de-
stroyed. The Pontoon, which was the har-
bor guard and store ship probably for am
muEition, was burned and blown up. Three
gunboats were destroyed. One other was
driven ashore and sunk, and third was
driven ashore, and Is believed to have been
disabled.
THE firing was maintained at a range
which is believed to be beyond the range
of the shore artillery. 1t was continued
until, after a gradual closing IN, the shore
batteries opened fire at a comparatively
short range. when the ships were recalled,
the object of the expedition having been
accomplished. and the ideas of the COM

If there are any suspicious cases of fever
at the army hospital at Fort Monroe the
fact has not been reported to the medical
officers Of the army at Washington How
ever, the cases will be closely watched and
every effcrt to prevent the spread of the
disease should those cases now under sur
yeiilance prove to be yellow fever. Surgeon
General Sternberg expects to leave the city
for Fort Monroe tomorrow for a general
inspection of the medical service there
The appearance of fever. it is said. would
not interfere with shipments of troops from

Two regiments followed an hour apart.
At Rrssville the three regiments loaded
on Cincinnati Southern trains. At New

siastic cne, both officers and men rejoicing
ever the prospect of active service.
The next command to leave will be four
light batteries of artllery-A of Illinois, B
Of Pennsylvania, A of Missouri and 9th
