to work. The capacity of the place had been
greatly exceeded. He (Shafter) would not
delay minute, but would not send his
troops away until they were properly
equipped. General Corbin in reply, ex-
pressed the presidents satisfaction at Cen
eral Skaters accomplishments.
Then follows the dispatch Of June 9TH OF
General Miles, already published in his re-
port, saying that the expedition had been de-
layed through no fault OF any one connected
with it and continuing:
This expedition is so important that

mediately organize another and go with it
to join this and capture position No. g
Now that the military is about to be used,
l believe it should be continued with every
energy, making the most judicious use of it
to accomplish the desired results
SIMPSONS MESSAGE
A telegram from Sampson of the It'll.
transmitted by the secretary "to Major Gen
eral Shafter or Major General Miles at
Tampa, declares that he has siienced the
works at Santiago; that if 10000 men were
there the city and fleet could be taken; that
every consideration demanded an immediate
army movement, and if delayed the city
would be defended more strongly by guns
taken from the fleet. Following, without
explanation, is this dispatch to General
Sbafter at Port Tampa from Secretary
Alger, dated the 7th:
''Since telegraphing you an hour since the
president directs you to sail at once with all
the force you have ready"
In reply, Shafter said he would sail the
next morning, which was as early as steam
could be gotten up. This was 8 D. M. and
at 9:34 p. IN. Miles at Tampa teegraphed
directly to the president:
"From the commanding officer. down to
the drummer boys, every one is impatient to
go and annoyed at the delay. The last of
the troops from Chickamauga arrived TINS
morning, and have been equipped and hur-
ried to the steamers. Feel confident they
will all do their best to carry out the wishes
and directions of the president.
MILES,
Major General, Commanding"

Without indicating what disposition was
made of the suggestions contained in his dis
patch, Secretary Alger goes on to briefly ex.
plain the conditions which confronted the
American army at that moment. The Sec
retary of the navy was convinced that Ger.
vera was in Santiago harbor and every en-
ergy was bent to concentrate military force
near Santiago to aid in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet and the capture of the city.
The great difficulty was the want of trans
ports; the loading facilities at Port Tampa
were imperfect, and there was great confu-
sion caused by the large concentration of
supplies there. The railroad facilities were
inadequate; there was failure to label the
cars, and the postoffice was congested so that
bills of lading were delayed. Few of the
thirty-six transports finally gathered there
were fit for such service, but they were the
best that could be had, and while they were

Hi Jolly Tells of Early Days
 on the Desert

Hi Jolly, the Greek who brought the camels to the cosst, is in Phoenix paving come !.om prosrecting trip in Yuma county. He tells the Eater D ise that in 1856 tEe United States government sent Admiral Porter to Asia Minor 10 buy csmels for use on the deser. He secured eighty and Hi Jolly came to take care of them. The government used them in Cslifor- nis, Arizona and Nevada until 1861. but owing to the cactus and gravel their feet would net stand it. Besides they frightened teams and broke up a circus in Los Angeles. Alter eisht years tine gOrernments sold the remain der at pubic auction. They were bought by Frenohmau and portion Of them were sold to the British for use in Australia. The others were to be used in packing between Globe and the Silver King mine. They nrn"ed a failure and the remaining beasts were turned loose on the desert. They are now nearly extinct although for little while they bred rapidly.
 Hi Jolly says not long ago the h. dians found one on the gulf below Yuma. They killed the animal and ate it like beef.
