 ON THE WAY To Transport the Spanish Pris- oners Back to Spain. CuACTCO NOT uhhdDCDCN
SHAT TER NOT HAMMERED
In Any Way By the War Department and Conducted the Santiago Cam paign According to His Own Judge
 ment-Transports Leave Cadiz.

Santiago, July 2S-1:15 a. m.-(Delayed in transmission.) )-Major General Shafter is desirous that it should be known that the United States war department has in no way interferred with the conduct of the campaign. The general adds that he was never hampered by the war department, and that if the campaign in this vicinity had failed the fault would have been all his own. The departments only participa- tion in the operations was in ratifying the terms of the surrender of the Spanish forces.
 General Shafter has requested that these statements be published in view of the fact that the war department has been criti- cised for faulty management
 General Shafter has received advices that two Spanish transports, one of them being a hospital ship, have left the Island of Martinique. They are expected here to- morrow.
 Transports Leave Cadlz
 In addition three Spanish transports left Cadiz yesterday and four others are to leave Cadiz on July 30.
 These vessels are capable of carrying about 15,000 troops and the authorization will begin when all the vessels are here. It is expected that all the Spanish pris- oners of war will be embarked by Au- gust 15.
 The American commander has authorized the Spanish officers who commanded the troops that came to Santiago during the siege from Manzanillo to send for their wives and families in order that they may be able to take them back to Spain at the governments expense. In all there are about 750 women and children.
 The telegraph operator at Manzanillo notified the authorities here that Captain General Blanco at first refused to permit the delivery of messages sent by these officers to their families, but later under protest from General Shafter the captain general allowed the messages to be ds- liyered.
 The American commander has also au- thorized the Spanish officers to charter a steamer at Manzanilo for the purpose Of bringing their families there to this port, but nc vessel was available, and other plans are now under way. Probably a steamer will be sent from here to Man zanillo under a flag of truce to fetch the wives and children of the Spanish officers

 The condition of the mind known as the blues," nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation.

Her advice is thorough com mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. HSad the story of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and alteration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped.
 II am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer- ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you"

The situation in ce- reals is hardly as satisfactory as could be wished, cash prices being lower for the week in face of probably record breaking from the worlds supplies on August 1, and good exports from this country, while futures are less depressed, but exhibit the pressure of expected liberal supplies at home and heavier crops abroad
 Sugar Market Dull
 The sugar markets remain dull and stocks of refined in the channels of distri- button are reported small. Raw sugar, however, is the main feature, perhaps, awaiting a closer approximation as to the effects of recent or imminent changes in territorial authority upon the sugar trade .ef the world. The textile manufacturing situation is as yet a rather clouded one, a shut down of print cloth mills being regard ed as probably in another effort to restore the lost balance of this trade.
 Woolen goods are slow of sale, while the relatively low range of wool prices at eastern markets and the improved inquiry by manufacturers and stiffened values with the effect of discouraging sales.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

New York, July 29.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 While as yet showing little actual effect on distributive trade there is evidence that the improved prospects for peace, with probably wider markets for American products, have given more hopeful tinge to the trade outlook. more particularly at the east. This is reflected in active prepa- rations by shippers and coasting trade in terests to share in the expected widening of demand from the West Indies. As for some time past however, reports of solid business returns come mainly from the western part of the country, and in the markets of that section are reported signs of the ground swell of fall demand. Signs of cumulative improvement come from the

BALLOON TO BE USED.
Observations Will Re Made by Com

WASHINGTON, June 16.-What may be-
come an important adjunct to the Santiago
expedition, which steamed out of Port
Tampa Tuesday, was the military balloon
equipment prepared under the direction of
General Greedy, of the signal office. 1t was
in charge of Captain Joseph MaXfeld, an
experienced officer of the corps, who will
supervise all operations connected with the
use of the airship. Unfortunately there was
considerable delay in getting the balloon to
Tampa from New York, where it had been
sent from the West about the beginning of
the war, and this precluded any experiments
with it on American SOIL 1t, therefore, will
have to be given its first trial in Cuba in
sight of the enemy, but General Greedy

Fear an Americnn Tlcet.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Cadiz via Gibraltar says
There is great excitement here owing to
fears OF the American fleet coming to
Spain. The reserve squadron consisting of
two ironclads, one torpedo boat, one cruiser
and two torpedo boat destroyers, sailed at
dawn yesterday, but returned in the even
ing. These mysterious movements are
doubtless intended to mislead, and any al
legged sailing of the fleet should be re-
ceived with the greatest caution. The aux
iliary cruiser Ciudad Gle Cadiz has left here
under sealed orders. From hints gathered
in official circles it is believed the squadron
will sail singly or in pairs under sealed
orders to meet al given point, probably
on the high seas. Some say the rendezvous
is the Saragossa sea. off the Azores where
the vessels will be outside the usual track
of shipping and able TO wait quietly for
their consorts in order to sail together The
Compania Transatlantica's steamers Covan-
,donga and De Satrustegui have arrived and
'are being transformed into armed cruisers.

miral Dewey is short of ammunition"

SHELLED AGAIN.
Concluded from First Pare

a small detachment of marines, mostly raw
men, in the enemy's country has taught
some lessons to the officers and men here,
and possibly also to the authorities at
Washington. 1t has shown the spaniards
to be daring bush fighters, and it has
proved that every American camp must be
compactly built and as well protected to re-
sist night attacks as though in the Apache
fects in the navy guns under service con-
dItions, and 1T has shown that, given free
lrein, with repeating rifles, 500 nervous
troops can waste 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ton, killing shadows. in single night and

Lieutenant Neville's men wore regular
uniforms, most of those seen in the daylight

heads in lieu of hats This fact was an eff

tied branches around their waists, reaching
shoulders high, and moving very cautious

them were caught at the game Another
trick was to make moving screen of two

The Cuban auXiliares were most useful
in pointing out these tricks. There are sixty

American marines at first were inclined to
discount this; but this morning they spoke
enthusiastically of the auxiliaries for their
daring. At night, in skirmish time, the ma
rines say the Cuban auxliaries go through
the brush like rabbits. Their chief fault,
however, is their reckless handling of the
new magazine rifles.

SUBMARINE MINES TESTED.
Hull of a Schooner Torn Into Thou
sand Fragments.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, June 16.-The
hull of the schooner Shenandoah. which
caught fire near Thimble light Wednesday
night while on her way to sea- loaded with
slaves, was blown up this evening for the
purpose of testing the efficiency of the
mines planted in Hampton Roads. When
the explosion occurred a column of spray
and splinters shot high into the air, and the
sea where the remains of the Shenandoah
rested but a moment before became tur-
bulent mass of foam. The ship was torn
into a thousand fragments An officer in
the fort set the mine OFF by electricity.
Yesterday what was left of the ship was
towed by a government tug to an anchor
age near the training ship Jamestown,
where it remained until late this afternoon,
when it was towed to a point almost OPP
posite the Hygeia Hotel and left floating
over the pear-shaped explosives concealed
beneath the water. Having done this the
tug headed shoreward and when she had
reached a safe anchorage from the wreck
an officer in the fort touched an electric
button and the explosion followed instant
ly. There was not vestige of the old hull
left. The work of the mine was complete.

sumed here that the young naval officer was
obeying literally some instructions to ex-
clude all persons from the ship until the
civil authorities had taken possession, and
that he thereby prevented the British vice
consul from communicating with the cap
tain of the ship. In similar case which
occurred at Key West recently involving the
British steamer Myrtledene, as soon as the
State Department was notified by the Brit
fish embassy here it courteously caused in

Very noticeable to-day is the fact that the
expectations of German Intervention are
subsiding, though there is a deal of COM
ment on the large German naval force col
lected at Manila.
Il regret to say that the press campaign
against the presence of alleged american
correspondents and English correspondents
in Spain seems to have found an echo in
high quarters. 1t is hardly fair or honor
able, however, to denounce them as spies
in order to excuse treatment which neither
America England ever extended to any
Spanish correspondent.
lei impartial says the government will
shortly take steps against American spies
residing in Madrid and the provinces, who
pretend to be English correspondents, and
the paper adds that it is very probable
that the government will speedily adopt
rigorous measures against spies in the serv-
ice of American interests. 1 must add that
sensible people in political circles do not be-
lieve that Senior Sagasta will take steps
likely to lead to unpleasant retaliations as
there are more Spaniards resident in the
United States than there are American SUBJ
