 Trenton, N. J., July 1.-The national convention of the Ancient Order of Hi- berians finished it's work at o'clock tonight and adjourned sine die.

THE SUSPENSE IN WASHINGTON.
Relieved by the Receipt of General
 Shafter's Dtspatch.

washington, July 2.-The suspense which followed the receipt of General shafter's dispatch yesterday morning announcing that a battle had been be- gun near Santiago was relieved at 12:30 this morning, when a preliminary re- port of the days operations was re- ceived by General Corbin from General Shafter. As had been expected by the officials of the war department, the fight lasted until sundown. During the day probably it was not possible for Shafter to stop in the midst of his du- ties to send dispatches to the depart ment.
 The president and the war officials are immensely pleased at the informa- tion conveyed in Shafters message While they learned with sincerest re- gret that so many of the American troops had fallen, the ground gained by the days conflict is regarded as a great victory. The battle establishes nretty conclusively that the Spaniards are no match for the enthusiastic and aggressive United States troops. They were driven from their strong entrench- ments in front of Santiago back into

AT CAMP 4I.LGER.
More Troops Expected to Leave-Fear of
 YyphOid Fever,

Washington, July 1.-General Garrett son, commanding the Second brigade, first division, at Camp Alger, Virginia, to-day sent for the colonels of the regi- the purpose of holding conference. It has transpired that General Garretson expects one regiment and half Of an- other regiment to leave right away and that he has chosen the Eighth and half of the Sixth Illinois. The other six companies of the Sixth Illinois and the Sixth Massachusetts are to break camp not later than Monday, according to this story.
 The fear of typhoid still prevails in the camp and Majors Parke and De- vine, acting surgeons, have been inves- tigating conditions tending to produce this malady. One of these surgeons said that "one patient could put the whole camp on it's back The water supply is looked upon as the principal source of danger. Some of the wells are sunk to depth of sixty~five or sev- enty feet, but it is said to be possible for the germs of typhoid to reach that depth owing to the sandy nature of the soil. The surgeons making the inyesti- gation say that if when their report is made Chief Surgeon Girard persists in holding that the water is pure they will forward their report to the war depart ment. A special commission has been appointed to investigate conditions in the quarters of the New York cavalry, which now has five men at Fort Mayer suffering with typhoid. Complaint is made that the government has supplied no lime or other disinfectants.

THE HAWAIIAN DEBATE.
For Nearly Six Hours the Senate Listens
 to Arguments

Washington, July 1.-For nearly six hours to-day the senate had under dis cussion the Hawaiian annexation reso- lutions. The first formal speech in fla vor of the resolutions was delivered by Mir. Pettus, dem., of Alabama. His ad- dress was strong and patriotic. As a democrat he maintained that the ques- tion was in no sense a party issue. But the proposition was one which ought to command, in the circumstances, the support of men of all parties. He had a heated colloquy with MT. Caffery, dem, of Louisiana, in the course of which the latter intimated that the AL abama senator was afflicted with senil- ity. MT. Pettus' retort was vigorous and resentful of what he termed an in- suit. MT Caffery disclaimed any in- tention of insulting MT. Pettus. MT. Mallory, dem., of Florida, presented a constitutional argument against the ac- quisition of territory by joint resolution of congress.

Spaniards comprising over 10000 troops, held at bay by less than 5,0oO Cubans, whose fighting qualities are as yet rather enigmatical.
 In an interview with General Garcia the correspondent called attention to this situation. General Garcia replied: "I believe that we should be left to the west and north to prevent Pando mak- ing junction with Linares. We can do that" In spite of this warning General Garcia and his force were talk en to the east and landed with the army, only to be transported in part back again to prevent the very move ment which Garcia had predicted. The solution of the difficulty evidently lies in brilliant and quick attack.

Senate Committee Further Investigates
 Payment of the Claim.

Washington, July 1.-The sub-com- mittee of the senate committee on claims continued to-day it's investiga- ton of the circumstances attending the passage of the Southern Methodist Publishing house claim. Representative Gaines of Tennessee was examined. He reviewed letters which he had received and conversations had with Barbee and others interested in the claim, which, he declared, justified him in believing that no contract existed for payment of any money to any one. Two other representatives and some senators will follow along the lines suggested by Mir Gaines to decide whether deception was practiced by those directly interested.

Ing n Policy When He Arrives,

 Washington, July IA dispatch came from Admiral Dewey to-day dat ed Cavite, June 27, reporting that con- ditions remain practically unchanged. but not recording the arrival of his re- Inducements. He had some other mat ters of interest to communicate, but they could not be properly made public at present. For one thing, it can be stated that Admiral Dewey has been particular to avoid committing his gov- ernment to any particular line of action respecting the future of the Philippinesl or to do anything that would prevent Major General Merritt framing poll cy to meet the needs of the case when he arrives. He has made no official pledges to the insurgent leader, though he has not hesitated to openly praise his good politics and his accomplish- ments.

Occasional skirmish- es occur The insurgents captured the 1 Spanish ship Behul in Kayabao bay while she was landing five hundred 1 troops. stubborn fight ensued, in 1 which the Spanish commander, lieu tenant colonel, was kiMed The insur- gents have captured the governor of Bulacan, together with his wife and children. General Aguinaldo placed under arrest the rebel leaders Artadchio and Sapdico for having revealed the. fact that the steamer Pasig, recently seized by the Hong Kong authorfties was laden with arms for the insur- gents. Sandico applied to Colonel Will Hams and was liberated. He is now on board the Nanshan.

Admiral Cam- ara can only coal from one of his own colliers in the Red sea.
