SEA COAST PATROL.
Picket Vessels Stretched From Eastport,
Me-, to New 0rIeans-Inner and
Outer Pickets.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE navy
department has now completed its ar
rangement of the Atlantic and gulf
coast patrol and stretching from East
port, Me-, around to New Orleans,
there are no less than 40 auxiliary naval
craft, including swift yachts, recon
structed single turret monitors of the
Civil war; tugboats, ferryboats and not
a few large and well-armed merchant
men. These 40 ships are disposed at
the several large coast and gulf cities,
while 100 miles or more seward an
outer picket line is maintained by four
of the larger and more effective war
ships of the San Francisco class.
One of these outer pickets is main
tanned as far north as Nova Scotia and
the southerly picket SIS off the eastern
coast of Northern Georgia. The largest
number of defense vessels is at New
York city, the commerce requiring pro-
lection being greatest at that point.
Boston, Charleston and all other coast
points have their share of the auxiliary
craft, making as a whole a naval patrol
considered adequate for any emergency

coast line

FEVERISH ACTIVITY.
The War Department Apparently Prepsr-
ing to Move IL Number of Troops.
Hurrying Equipment.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-There was
an exhibition of feverish activity at the
war department so pronounced as to at
tract attention even in these stirring
times yesterday. 1t was apparent that
renewed efforts were making to COM
plete the equipment of the troops al
ready gathered at the concentration
points and that preparations are in
progress to move a number of troops.
So far, however, it is stated that no
orders have gone out for the actual
movement and what has been and is
being done in that direction is merely
preparatory. Very likely definite action
will follow a conference which Secre-
tary Alger and the president will have
with General Miles when he arrives
here today from Tampa.
The general is better aware of the
exact state of fitness of the troops at
the southern rendezvous points than
anyone else and the president and Sec
rotary Alger in all probability will be
bound by what he has to say in decid-
ing upon the further disposition of
troops. If General Miles, as is thought
to be probable, recommends a further
concentration of troops ON the southern
seaboard, the new camp at Fernandina,
Fla, will be made ready for the recep-
ton of the additional troops. The Off
Gals have been forehanded as to this
camp, profting by the experience gained
in the establishment of the two great
camps at Chickamauga and Camp Aiger.

OK BOARD THE DISPATCH Boar
DAUNTLEss, OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
June 10, via Kingston, Jamaica, June
17.-Rear Admiral Sampson s fleet bonn
barded the batteries at Santiago de Cuba
for the third time at daylight this morn
ing. For hours the ships pounded the
batteries at the right and left of the en-
trance, only sparing Ell MORO, where
Lieutenant Hobson and his companions
of the Merrimac are in prison.
The western batteries, against which
the main assault was directed, were
badly wrecked. One was utterly de-
stroyed IN others many guns We're
uismounted.
At first the Spaniards replied passion
ately and wildly, but impotently. Then
most of the guns were deserted. Not q
ship was struck nor man injured on
the American side.
1t is believed that the enemy's loss of
life was heavy.
AS a preliminary to the hammering
given the batteries the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius last night at midnight was
given another chance. Three 250-pound
charges of guncotton were sent over the
Notifications at the entrance. The de-
sign was to drop them in the bay around
the angle, back of the entrance on which
Ell MORO is situated, where it is known
that the Spanish torpedoboat destroyers
were lying.
Two charges went through, as no re-
ports were heard popularity of the
explosion of guncotton in water.
Whether the destroyers were demo1-
ished is not known, but the destructive
area of guncotton is large, and it would
not be surprising if it is subsequently
ascertained that one or both were de-
stroyed.
The third charge exploded with ter
rife violence on Cayo Smith.
From where the fleet lay the en-
trance to the harbor looked, in the
black night, like door opening into
the livid fire of titanic furnace. A
crater big enough to hold a church was
blown out of the side of the Cayo
Smith and was clearly seen from the
ships this morning.

have been received from reliable sources
show that the number of Spanish sol
diers in that country is probably 10000
men, although other statements indi-
cate that there is considerably less than
chat number. tits fair TO assume, they
say, that when the United States army
commences active operations against
the city of San Juan every available
man in that place will be impressed
into the military service and given a
gun. Hence they feel that the army of
invasion should be of such proportions
as to leave no doubt of it's ability and
capacity to cope successfully with the
enemy.
1t is stated positively that the en-
harkation point for the troops for Porto
Rico has not yet been finally deter
mined, and will not be until Secretary
Alger and the president have had an OPP
portunity to confer with Major General
Miles, who will return to the city today.
There is no doubt however, that this
embarkation will take place from some
point on the Atlantic coast with prob
ability i'll favor of Fernandina, Fla, or
Savannah, Ga.
For the purposes of the Porto Rican
expedition, Assistant secretary Me1kle-
john said yesterday the department had
now II transports, some Of which are
already at southern points, and these
will carry about 5000 men with their
equipments. The war department is
now in communication with the vari-
Gus coastwise steamship companies on
the Atlantic and gulf with view to
securing the additional vessels needed.
A large number, aggregating probably
rs, have been submitted for the in
speCtion Of the officers of the quarter
masters department, from which they
hope to obtain the needed ships,
Mr.. Meiklejohn said it had not vet
been determined whether any of the
vessels soon to reach Santiago would be
utilized in the Porto Rican expedition.
That was a matter entirely contingent
upon the military aspect of affairs as
they might develop in Eastern Cuba
1t is stated not to be the intention of
the government at this time to abandon
Tampa as base of military operations,
as has been reported. The war depart
ment has vast quantity of rations be-
sides large number of men at that
place. While it is possible that future
large military movements may not be
embarked from that point, yet it is be.
leved that it will continue to be used as
a reserve base for such work as NAV be
more conveniently done from there.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 1.-THE
Spanish steamer Purisilna Conception,
loaded with food for Mazanillo, left
Kingston at O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, taking westward course. The
colonial authorities ignored the pro-
test of United States Consul Dent.
The Purisima Conception arrived at
Kingston i'll the latter part of May from
Manzaniilo with a Spanish commlssarlat
officer i'll disguise seeking supplies Sew
eral times her owners tried to change TO
a British register.
There has never been the least doubt
in the mind of Mr.. Dent that the sup
plies and provisions, though loaded
nominally for an unblockaded port, are
destined ultimately for General Blanco's
troops.
There is little likelihood that she will
reach her destination, as Admiral Samp-
son is fully aware of her plans and has
probably detailed fast auxiliary cruiser
to capture her and the Spanish officer.
Lieutenant Commander Joaquin Mon
tague, who is understood to have left
Kingston with her.
The captain and officers of the auxili-
airy cruiser Yosemite, formerly Ell Rio,
feel foolish and are thoroughly vexed.
AS the Yosemite approached Port Royal
about o'clock yesterday morning she
passed large steamer going out. No
attempt was made to ascertain her
name, but on arriving here the Yosem-
ties captain learned that the steamer
was the Purisima Conception.
The Yosemite, with other Ameri-
can cruisers, had been especially warned
about this Spaniard, as she would be a
rich prize She is said to have 100000
in gold on board. Her cargo of food
and medicine is destined ultimately for
Cienfuegos and Havana.
1t is by no means certain that the
auxiliary cruiser Prairie formerly Ell
Soil will catch her, though the Prairie

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE state de-

Consul General Williams, who was sta
toned at Manila before the outbreak of
the war, describing the battle of Manila,
in which he was a participant, being on
board the Baltimore at one time and on
the flagship Olympia at another time.
The consul says the battle lasted about
~ hours and that the Spanish were
outclassed at every point. He says:
"Our guns had greater effectiveness,
our officers and men greater bravery.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Stephen Crane
telegraphed to The Evening World from
Guantanamo bay, June Ia, positive
denial of statements that the bodies of
marines killed in the fighting ON Satur-
day were mutilated after the men fell.
The appearance of mutilation, it is
asserted, was caused by Mauser bullets
fired at close range, the Spaniards hay
ing ambushed the marines, one of
whom was pierced by eight bullets.
Surgeon Edgar is quoted as authority
for the contradiction of the story of
mutilation.
