Thompson have been in communication for
some time past, regarding the match. and
when the latter defeated Billy Lynch and
Geo. Robinson in one evening he received a
challenge on behalf of Bishop and accepted
1t. Articles of agreement were drawn up

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Reinforce-
ments are to be hurried to General
Shafter as rapidly as steamships can
carry them, Notwithstanding the fact
that additional TROOPS are not now so
badly needed as was indicated by the
developments Of Friday and Saturday.
The dispatches received by the war de-
partment from General Shafter show q
confidence in his present ability to con-
troll the situation. In fact, he says that
he IS master Of the city of Santiago,
which his troops entirely surround.
The position ne occupies makes it i'm
possible either for the Spanish forces to
eyacuate the city or for General Pando's
troops TO reinforce them.
The auxiliary cruiser st. Paul is now at

The Eighth Ohio is one of the three
regiments OF General Garretson's bri-
gade, the other two being the Sixth
Massachusetts and the Sixth Illinois.
The remaining regiments will be held
under waiting orders and will move
probably in few days. The plan is to
send them TO Santiago by either the
Yale or the Harvard, both of which are
expected shortly at Newport News.
The Eighth Ohio will leave Camp
Alger early Wednesday morning for
New York and will board the vessel i'm
mediately upon arriving there. The
regiment will be accompanied by the
brigade commander, General Garretson.
In addition to the troops at Camp
Aiger, which are to be sent to Santiago.
the brlgades Of General Ernst and Gen
eral Hams, now at Chickamauga, will
be sent within a few days. General
Ernstss brigade consists of the Third

General Hams brigade consists of the
Ninth Pennsylvania, the Second Mis-.

This is the second time in the his
tory of this country that an army has
been landed on foreign soil. The
first was at Vera Cruz TO the City Of
Mexico, distance Of about 800 miles,
defeated 80, 900 Mexicans and held the
city for full nine months, or until
peace was declared. This was bold
stroke on the part Of the United
States, but was entirely successful.
There can be no question but that the
present invasion will be equally sue
cessful and even more extended in
its influence.
