PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo.
Aug. 6.-The marine camp was broken
up on the afternoon of Aug. 5, and the
marine battalion was transferred to the
vicinity of the auxiliary cruiser Reso-
Lutte for service in other parts of Cuba.
AS indicated in these dispatches the
main body of the fleet will remain here,
ready for any kind Of service, awaiting
orders from Washington. The idea
rather gains ground that the navy's ac-
tive part in the war is nearly over.
Rear Admiral Sampson, as he watch
ed the flames at Camp McCalla lighting
the hills, paid high tribute to the ma
rines, which was re-echoed by all the
naval officers. Admiral Sampson said:
II don't know what we would have
done without Guantanamo bay, which
is better as a harbor and base than
Santiago, or any other place in South
Cuba. Nothing could have been better
than the results accomplished by the
marines, backed up by the fleets, and
in their next undertaking they will
dcubtlessly do just as well.''

LONDON, Aug. THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Sunday Times says:
SPANS answer will accept all the
American terms, except that regarding
the Cuban debt. The government will
fight this point, on the ground that in
all other cessions of territory by one
nation to another, the oeded territory
has carried with IT its own debt, or the
proportion belonging to the nation by
which it is ceded. President Mckinley
will receive the answer on Monday, or,
at the latest, on Tuesday.

politicians and generals, follows the eX-
ample Of Senior Castelar,, In 1873. His
objects are two-fold-to provide the re-
sponsibility for the decision and to
avoid the convocation of the cortes.
"The news from Porto Rico Is re-
ceived with great disappointment. The
Spaniards are disgusted with the well
come the natives have given the Amer
leans and the news that the volunteers
have thrown down their arms. The
general opinion is that it is not worth
while to risk lives and spend millions
for the sake of territories which are
worse than disloyal to the mother coun-

FIFTH MANILA EXPEDITION.

About One Week.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. e.1The ships
Of the first transport fleet to Manila are
expected to return In about four days,
and, with the Scandia and Arizona,
now in preparation, will form the fifth
expedition to Manila This expedition
will be under the command Of Brig.
Gen. King. The Scandia and Arizona
will take the Seventh California regi-
ment, two batteries of the Eighteenth
and Twenty-third regiments and 900
recruits for the regiments which have
already departed.
Before Sept. 1 all the troops now in
camp here will probably have been
dispatched to Manila, for, with the re-
turn of the first transport feet and its
second departure, the bulk of the men
in camp can be taken care Of The
second fleet will probably return be-
fore the end Of August, and these
ships, consisting of the China, Colon,
Zealandia and Senator, will more than
suffice to take the troops left in camp
after the Australia, Peking and Sgd
ney have sailed.

sian war scare Is spreading beyond

ports OF Russian preparations are COM
ing from several quarters with inti-
nations that Russia Is deliberately

Diplomacy is extraordinarily active

the past twenty-four hours by govern

gulf Mr.. CurZon, under foreign secre-
tary, said that rumors had reached
the government to that effect Con-
sidering the magnitude of it's respon-
sibilities, he said, the government took
special interest in those waters.
Mr.. Curzon also stated that he un-
derstood that the loan which had been
negotiated by the Persian government
with a Persian bank had fallen through
in consequence Of a larger sum having
been asked than the bank was disposed
to advance. The British government,
he said had supported the bank to the
utmost in the negotiations.
1t is hoped that the f1rmer stand
adopted by the Marquis of Salisbury
during the last few days, which seems
to have already created some misgiv-
Ing at ST. Petersburg will have the de-
sired effect Of arresting Russian ag-
gressiveness. 1t is felt both here and

Another class Of these claims is OF
ancient date flowing from the abortive

to be probable, however. that In the

Filed In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - The an
nouncement that the United States
government will assume liability for
claims against the Spanish government
on account of injuries and damages
sustained in the Cuban insurrection
has caused the filing Of a large number
of claims with the state department.
Many Of these are not based upon
events occurring during the last re-
bellion, but date back for very many
years, and relate to excessive customs
collections, damages sustained through
municipal maladministration, alleged
illegal confinement and such things.
On the other hand, there are now Span
ish claims to the amount Of $4,000 900
against the United States that. in the
event Of a joint claims commission be-
ing authorized, would be proper Off

- WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6.-Chair-
man Hull, of the house military affairs
