EIGHT TRANSPORTS PURCHASED
Cost Four Millions and Will Go to
Porto Rico.

Washington, June 24.-An important
addition 20 the war departments fleet
of fl vessels available for transport
and freight service was announced to-
day. Eight large ships of over $500
tons burden each, have been purchased
for use on the Atlantic coast. Seven
of the eight were obtained from the
Atlantic Transport line. Heretofore the
practice of the war department has
been to charter all the vessels which it
mas used, and the announcement today
of the acquisition of the ships by pur-
chase is distinctly a new departure in
the policy of the government, due, it is
believed, to the fact that the owners
and agents of the various companies
heretofore have asked such high prices.
The purchase price of the ships secured
from the Atlantic Transport line was
understood that the amount approx
mately was S4,000,000. All the vessels
of this line are to be delivered to the
government at New York. Today's ac-
QUESTION is presumed TO be a decided
ly forward step in the arrangements
for the Porto Rico expedition.
The vessels purchased from the At
lantic Transport line are the Massa-
chusetts, Manitoba, Mohawk, Mobile
and Minnewaska, each of 500 tons,
and the Michigan and Mississippi, each
of 1890 tons. Every one of these seven
ships have a refrigerating capacity for
1000 tons of fresh meat and an addi-
tional capacity for 1000 head of cattle
or horses

FOUGHT TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS
HAWKINS KNOCKED OUT BY
SPIKE SULLIVAN.
Californian Had the Best Of It Up to

New York, June 24.-"Spike" Sullivan
of Boston, knocked out Dial Hawkins,
the lightweight boxer from California,
in the 22nd round of a 20 round bout
tonight at the Ienox Athletic club.
These two men met at 1913 pounds and
put up an excellent fight. Hawkins
had the better of the contest on points
up to the 10Th round, when Sullivan
fioored him with a left swing on the
head. Every one thought the fight
was over right there, but Dial sur
prised them and persons who were
watching every movement of the fight
ers, by regaining his feet in six sec
onds. He was very groggy, but game
to the core. Sullivan, flushed with APP
parent victory, rushed wildly and tried
to land an effective blow, but in his
anxiety and haste missed each at
tempt, so the bell interferred. Dafs
legs were weak when he came up for
the 22nd round, but the blow which
fioored him in the goth round had evil

than outward appearance indicated.
The CalifOrnian's friends took heart
at seeing their man come to time so

by a terrible right swing on the Jaw
which put him out.

GERMANY OBJECTED.
American Railroad Plans Interfered
With In China.

Washington, June 24.-United States
Consul Fowler at Cheefoo has Informed
the state department of the action of
the Chinese government on the petit
ton of DR.. Yung Wing for permission
to construct railroad from Tien Tsin
TO Shanghai through the whole length
of the province of Shantung. 1t APP
pears that the petition was granted by
the emperor, but was subsequently re-
considered and the permission with
the German minister that his govern
ment had the sole right to all CONNER
cial enterprises in Shantung.
DR.. Yung Wing has had long, hon
orable career in New England, and is
understood to represent an American
syndicate in the proposed railroad en-
terprise in China.
According to one of the Chinese pa
pers, DIR. Yung Wing proposed that he
should obtain the aid Of American cap
italists ana engineers to carry out the
undertaking, and the German minister
said that Germany had obtained the
sole right to invest capital and supply
engineers for railroad construction in
every part of the province of Shan
tung and strenuousiy opposed the
scheme proposed by DR.. Yung Wing.
The latter therefore altered his
scheme so as to provide that the pro-
posed railway should not clash with
the interests of the line which the Ger
mans are going to build from Kiao
Chou to Yellow, with which alteration
the German minister professed himself
satisfied

ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.
Definitely Settled That She VIII Not
Interfere at Manila.

Washington. June 24.-The only i'm
portant development at today's cabinet
meeting was the positive settlement of
the question of the attitude of Ger
many with respect TO the Philippines.
The secretary of state has received as
surance which settles beyond question
all doubts on this point. Germany has
no intention, present or prospective, of
interfering in any way with the
policy or plans of the United States
in regard to the occupation of the
islands Its attitude has been and will
continue to be one of strict neutrality.
This statement, coming from high of
fetal sources, is accepted by this gov
eminent in perfect faith and is regard
ed as final and conclusive. No further
attention will be ~aid by the govern
ment to any reports to the contrary
which are constantly being sent out,
it is believed in the interest of Spain
Official reports received from Admiral
Dewey ct Manila state there has never
been an intimation that Germany or
any other nation by its naval represen-
tative has ever shown the least dis
position to overstep the line of strict
neutrality. nor has there been any
reason to believe that their sympathies
were strongly with the Spanish in the
present struggle

GEN. MILES IS GOING TO CUBA
AFTER SHAFTER HAS CAPTURED

The Date of His Departure Has Not

Washington, June 24-General Miles, in
command of the army. will go to Cuba.

military operation on the field. The
doubt as to the generals movements was
cleared up today, and the definite state
ment made that he would go to Cuba. He
will not leave the United states, however,
a present, nor is it settled just when he

gency to require an immediate start, as
General Miles has the fullest confidence
in General Shafter, who is conducting the
advance on Santiago, and this commence
is shared by the president and the sec
rotary OF war. For that reason. General
Miles move will not be for the purpose
OF assuming the direction of the assault
on Santiago, as that move is likely 10 be

TO join the army in the field Personally,
he is anxious to be with the troops, for,
as he says to his friends, he has been
with the men for 80 years, and his spirit
is with them now, although circumstances
neceSSitate his remaining here for time.
There is a possibility that he may go
with General Henrys division when the
Harvard and Yale make their second trip
from Newport News, but this is quite
doubtful.

SPANISH acknowledgements.
If Pando Reaches Santiago the Cam
paien. VIII Be Prolonged.

Washington, June 24-The news comes
from Jamaica that General Pando is
sending heavy reinforcements to the
Spanish general. LinareS, in Santiago, is
likely to have the effect of Fastening the
campaign against the town by the Amer
leans. Pando has 10000 soldiers at sI1oI-
gum, less than 100 miles from Santiago
They are the pick of the Spanish army in
Cuba and their Commando, is known as
the nghIlng general. were they 10 COM
bine with the Spanish force IN Santiago,
the American campaign would be very
much prolonged, and the task set for our
troops would be much heavier. Two FAC
tors have been relied upon to prevent this
combination. The first is the very rough
nature of the country between Holguln
and Santiago, which would be exceedingly
difficult for troops to cover in less than
four or five days at the earliest The
second is the active efforts of the CubanS
to harrass the Spaniards on the march
and retard their movements. with the
force they now have in that country, the
Cubans could do this very effectually, but
they could scarcely undertake to absolute
ly check the whole Spanish force of 10000
men.
The reports from Santiago indicate that
the Spanish admiral is using his squadron
exactly as was anticipated. to defend
the town from attack by soldiers in the
rear. This only emphasizes in the mind
of army officers the necessity Of speedy
action on the part OF the invasion, 1or
with PandO'S men to reinforce the gar
rison and Cervera's squadron in full play.
the Spanish were, from military point
of view, much stronger than the combined
force of Americans under Sh3fter and
Cubans under Garcia and Rabi.
1t is believed that considerable reliance
must be placed upon the American siege
train, for as soon as the heavy guns are
in place on the crest of the hills, it is
expected the position of the Spanish be
low viii be exposed to a heavy fire and
they will be obliged to either surrender or
make n desperate attempt to escape from
Santiago harDOr.
