Insists That We Land Enough Troops At
Manila TO Fully Protect Germans.
The London Star Of Wednesday re-
iterates the story that Emperor Will
liam, Of Germany, has. ordered the
German sonsul at Manila to oppose
the debarkation Of American troops
unless in sufficient force to maintain
order and protect the Germans.
The Star adds that notification to
this effect has been officially given to
the United States embassy at Berlin
and to Secretary Day at Washington.
Continuing, The Star says: Seer
many is not likely to have taken such
a grave step without securing the ad.
hesion of other powers interested in
the far east, namely, Russia, japan
and England. They are certainly hos
tile to Germany's project, but 1t is not
thought likely that they will raise OBJ
jections, and we may soon have very
important news from Manila"

HORSES AND MULES STAMPEDE.
Play Havoc In Tampa Camp and Cause
N. Panic Among Soldiers.

Play Havoc In Tampa Camp and Cause
Panic Among Soldiers.
A special to The Washington Post
from Tampa says that at 10 o'clock
Thursday night 1000 horses and mules
broke from their corrals and stampeded
through the camps of General Carpen-
ter's brigade. It was SO dark and the
excitement was SO great in the District
of Columbia camp 1t was impossible to
learn at the time if any men were hurt.
The panic among the men was terrible.
Officers tried to get their companies
into line, but the army of wild horses
made that impossible. Many men be-
gan shooting at the excited animals,
but this only excited them more.
The horses seemed to be attracted
by the tents, and they rushed through
the brigade of three regiments and
back again, taking q different course
each time. They destroyed many
tents, kitchen and camping parapher.
MALTA.
1t is not known what started the
animals on their wild rush. Taps had
just sounded in ell the camps, and the
bands had played their good-nights.
The men were hardly asleep when .
loud cracking like the firing Of gatling
guns startled them. IT was the break
ing down OF the corral fence, q high
wooden affair. In the next moment
the Infatuated and painting horses
rushed into the New York camp, which
was nearest the break in the fence.
The rush sounded like o thunderstorm.
The New York camps sentinels began
to yell like mad. .
''Call out the guardl Call out the
guard"
The guard hurried out, but it was
useless, as the animals were then rush
ing over everything in their path. In
half an hour the camps had been STAN
peded three times, and there seemed
to. be no hopes OF driving the beasts
away from the camps.
Forty men were mounted by IL
O'Clock, and they were able to check
the rush some little, and at least to
steer the horses from the camp.

FERNANDINA SELECTED

ton VIII Sail.

A Washington special says: Twenty
five transports have been ordered to
Fernandina, Fla, to convoy 10000
troops from that point to Porto Rico.
Secretary Alger has decided In favor
Of Fernandina as the best point Of en-
barkstion to take place.
The actual date of the sailing Of
General Coppinger with his force has
not been decided upon. His instruc.
tons are 70 be in readiness at the ear
Hest practicable moment. SO that at q

1t was announced at the war depart
meDt that the expedition would prob
ably start within ten days or two
weeks. Secretary Alger said that Fer
nandina had been chosen in the first
place because Of it's water supply. It
has an artesian we'll 1,700 feet deep
and giving forth 1000, 900 gallons Of

reason for the choice Of Fernandina
lay In the fact that II could be easily

MARINES. ROUTE SPANIARDS.
FIRST AGGRESSIVE ONSLAUGHT
AGAINST GUERILLAS IN CUBA.
FORTY SPANIARDS Bit The DUST.
Only One American was wounded-Cu-
bans Cooperate with Hunt
ington's Mon.

Associated, Press dispatches state
that on Wednesday the United States
marines at Guantanamo, under Lieut..
Robert w. Huntington, adopted their
first aggressive movement against the
Spanish guerrillss Wednesday and
completely routed the enemy.
The force Of marines was under
Captain Elliott, and the cooperating
Cubans were under Colonel Laborda.
The combined forces razed Spanish
camp about five miles from the Amer
lean position, destroying the only we'll
In the vicinity and killing about forty
Spaniards. One American marine was
slightly wounded. Two Cubans were
killed and four wounded.
II is impossible to estimate the num-
Der Of Spanisrds engaged, owing to
their guerrilla methods of fighting,
but it is believed there were at least
four hundred.
The marines behaved splendidly,
their Workmanship being excellent
under the severe fire Of the enemy.
The captured camp lies about five
miles southeast Of the rife pits of the
marines, and was an important base
for the enemy, as it contained the
only well within six or seven miles.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington de-
cided on the attack early in the day,
and at about 8 o'clock the force started
across the mountains. The march up
and down the steep hillsides, under
the glazing tropical sun, was severe
test Of endurance for the marines.
Meanwhile the Cubsns darted back
ward and forward, to right and left, on
the scout. It was noon when, from q
hilltop, the Americans caught sight Of
the Spanish camp lying on ridge be-
low them.
The Americans began cautious ad-
vance and were within two hundred
yards of the enemy before the crack Of
o rifle from the Spanish lines aunounc-
ed that the Spanisrds had discovered
them.
The troops quickly moved into line
of battle, with the Cubans on the left
flank. The enemy's bullets were
whistling viciously over the Americans
but the Americans settled down to
their work as unconcernedly rs though
at target practice.
Very few Spaniards were in sight.
They were lying behind the huts and
the brush, but the puffs Of smoke re.
vealed their positions and enabled the
Americans to do effective work. For
twenty minutes both sides maintained
terrific are. The Spanish shots were
generally Wild and spssmodic, while
the Americfns cooly fred away, aim
ing carefully and shooting TO kill.
II was beginning to look ss thenek,
sbayonet charge down the slope would
be necessary to dislodge the enemy,
when suddenly the latter began 70
break for q thicket hundred yards
further on.
Little groups could be seen fleeing
from the camp, separating, darting
through the brush and zigzagging to
escape the bullets. II was then the
American became deadly. Man after
man could be seen 70 fall in mad rush
for shelter.

Big Cargo Of Munitions Landed By Auxli-
iarv Boat Sewanee.
Associated Press dispatches forward
ed. from of Santiago de Cuba and sent
via Jamaica state that several interest
ing and daring expeditions have been
made into the enemy's country to dis
cover the actual condition Of affairs in
Santiago de Cuba.
II is not an easy matter TO get near
the city these days. About 5000
Spanish soldiers and 2, 900 home guard
troops cover every roadway about the
place, and General Pando, the Span
ish military commander, Is very active
although the operations are limited by
the mountains surrounding the place,
which are full OF insurgents.
On Saturday. the converted light
house boat Suwanee, commanded by
Lieutenant Commander Daniel Dele
hanty, arrived off Santiago de Cuba.
She had on board about 10, 900 rounds
Of ammunition, 5000 fihes, 1000 car
bines, 1000 machetes and hundreds
of pounds Of bread, bacon and other
provisions. With the aid Of Cuban
pilot, picked up byC Commodore Schley,
she landed this stuff in two days, be-
sides taking an active part in the bonn
bardment Of the forts OF Santiago de
Cuba.
The landing was effected about
twelve miles to the westward Of 6anti-
ago and in the presence OF 500 insur-
gents. About 100 more insurgents
were on guard on the mountains and
in the passes. Tho ammunition and
food. with the arms, have therefore
put the insurgents in excellent shape
to prevent the Spaniards from getting
provisions from the outside through
the island itself. IT is believed that
the arming Of force Of insurgents has
assisted in cutting off one part Of the
Spanish army from the other.
/. On Tuesday, while working near
Cesserazere, twelve miles from San
tiago de Cuba, Lieutenant Commander
Delehanty saw two sloops trying To
run away up the River Asserazero.
He fred at them and they were run
ashore and deserted. Later boats
crew from the Suwanee captured
them. Each Of the sloops was pro-
vided with a Spanish flag, and one Of
them had OH board heliograph fol
signalling purposes. The flag and
heliograph were taken as spoils Of
war. One Of the sloops was presented
to the Cubans and the other, which
already had a few holes In IL, was sunk
by sho 9 from the Suwanee.
