Budget of News From London Concern
Ing Our War With Spain.
London, June 20. - Reports coming
from America that the United States
has requested Great Britain to enforce
the neutrality laws by forbidding Ad-
miral Camara's squadron to coal at
Port Said are unfounded. The United
States ambassador. Colonel John Hay.
has not received any Instructions on the
subject, and 1t Is believed in govern
ment circles here that the United States
Is not anxious to have Admiral Camara
detained. 1t is surmised that the United
States consul at Port Said acted on his
own initiative in protesting against the
coaling Of the Spanish fleet. 1t is point
ed out that il the Spaniards are denied
admission to the canal a precedent will
be established which will prevent the
United States from using the canal In
the event Of that country desiring to
send warships to the far east by that
route during the war.
The report that Spain has purchased
the Chilean armored cruiser Almirante
O'Higgins, very powerful vessel Of
$500 tons and steaming % knots, now
receives some credence. 1t appears that
the O'Higgins was very recently Offered
to the United States for 36,GD0,0tt, but,

commenting upon the prospect OF the
American forces attacking the coast OF
Spain, says:
1.-The reception Of the news evidences
change in public opinion, which at the
commencement Of the war thought En-
rope should notify the United States
that the war must be confined to Amer
lean waters. 1t Is now recognized that
the Americans are fully entitled to
make war in their own way, and they
are indeed driven to retaliate upon
Spain In this manner owing to the tao
tics which Spain has chosen to pursue. "

WATER MAIN CUT.
Santiago VIII Now Have to Depend on
Cisterns Alone-Lieutenant Blue
Makes Another Trip.

or Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston
Jamaica, June 20. Lieutenant Victor
Blue of the auxiliary gunboat Suwanee
returned to the. fleet today from another
investigating trip ashore. He reported
that Admiral Cerveras ships are all in
the harbor. With the exception Of one
torpedo boat destroyer, they are at an
Choir and show no signs of activity.
Lieutenant Blue went ashore on Sat-
urday to the west Of Moro Castle, ac-
companied by some Cuban guides. He
advanced until about two miles north
of Cabana and almost up to the enemys
batteries. He travelled 60 miles and re-
Joined the Suwanee this morning. At
one time the lieutenant was at a Cuban
outpost, separated only by 400 yards
from Spanish outpost.
"They popped away at each other all
the time" said Lieutenant Blue, but 1
do not think the Cubans hurt the Span
iards very much, and know the Span
iards did not hurt the Cubans."
Lieutenant Blue was able to accurate
ly locate the position of each Of Admiral
Csrvera's ships. Rear Admiral Samp-
son warned his fleet this morning to ex-
ercise great care in shooting at the hills
east Of Moro Castle, pointing out that
the American army had advanced and
that our own troops might be deployed
on the hillsides.
The water supply Of the city Of San
tlago was cut Off last night, and nothing
but cistern water is now available to
the Spaniards there. Shortly after dark
the Cuban scouts moved cautiously for
ward to within two miles of Santiago.
They could see countless Spanish camp
fires glimmering behind the lines Of rifle
pits mile from the city, which lay in
darkness beyond.
The scouts found that some Of the
water mains were unguarded and re-
ported the condition Of affairs to Gen.
eral Wheeler. At $3.50 o'clock in the
evening the engineer corps went out,
guided by the Cubans, and all Of the
mains were cut without any resistance
on the part of the Spanards.
1t is hardly likely that any serious
action will be taken by the navy until
Wednesday, BY that time the army Is
expected to be ready for another for
ward movement. The dynamite gum
boat Vesuvius fired three shells last
night. They fell in the vicinity Of Nor
70 Castle and the eastern batteries.
During the night a loud explosion oc-
Cured on shore near Aguadorss. 1t Is
believed to have been caused by the
Spaniards trying to blow up the rail-
road trestle near that place.
1T Is now said that Juragua may be
selected as the permanent coaling har-
Dor for the fleet.
From Juragua comes word that Major
General Shafter arrived there on board
the transport Seguranca, from Baiquiri,
with Colonel John Jacob Astor, Captain
stewart Brice and Lieutenants INLAY
ana Noble and his staff. He was met
by General Bates, who was superintend.

On the Corner.

"Back among the old folks was the
song rendered by the club at the OPEN
ing OF last nights meeting which was
held near the common and under the
spout which is used to fill the street
water cart The report of the delegate
sent to learn the opinion of the city
council regarding an appropriation for
the Glorious fourth. The delegate said :
1.-The COMPOUNDED city government are
SO tight that they wont spend darn
cent for the celebration of the glorious
fourth This is as 1 expected, The
city of Barre is patriotic and has shown,
its patriotism on many occasions and to-
day has nearly one hundred loyal boys
in the field to fight in honor of the stars
and stripes. But the city of Barre has
many outgoes in the way of expenses.
This makes it impossible to have the city
expend any money on that day. We of
the younger generation may like our
fire crackers, our horribles and our sky
rockets but why should we take the
money from the city treasury, The city
council is right, the club as usual is en-
tircly wrong. But after the delegate
had finished the members of the club de-
cidcd TO have celebration on that day,
and will celebrate on an elaborate scale,
We will give full programme before
many days if able to secure one from
the printer.
The next question which claimed at
tention by the club was that of sprink-
ling all the streets of the city at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers. No one only
the Boss advocated this and it was not
"on the boards" but for few moments.
The question which did however claim
the attention of the club for some time
was that of the erection of new line of
4uIIS, SOlllC Ill IuG Clty
limits as it was claimed the present rails
should be taken away at once. If the
city park is to be noted for beauty it
should not be enclosed on one side by
hitch rails, but that if these things were
necessary the rails could be placed in
the rear of the new city hall building
when completed, The Inspector for
this one suggestion agrees with the club
and will the City Council do anything
about it? Perhaps the Critic can tell us.
Growing somewhat noisy with loud talk
the club were given shower bath as
by lately devised plan the water can
be turned on in the spout by an electric
button stationed in the old band stand.
Who did it. The club did not know but
of course will lay it to the Inspector.
They ran down the street and when

Spanish loss ne said, was very heavy

also reported that there was much crit

that the American landing was not con-
tested at Baiquiri, and he also says
there was talk Of an American attempt
to flank the Spanish troops. Finally the
spy says there is very little food in the

Washington, June 29.-The navy de-
partment today posted the following
bulletin:
admiral Sampson reports that the
Yale arrived yesterday and discharged
her troops. Captain Sigsbee reports
that on Wednesday afternoon, while on
San Juan, Porto Rico, he was attacked
by a Spanish unprotected cruiser ana
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror. The Terror made a dash, which
was awaited by the st. Paul. The st.
Paul hit the Terror three times, killing
one officer and two men and woundinS
several others. The Terror dropped
back under cover Of the Notifications
with difficulty and was towed into the
harbor in sinking condition, where
she is now being repaired. Later a
cruiser and a gunboat started out, but
remained under protection Of the forts.
In defeating the Terror Captain Sigs-
bee has rendered a most important
service to our navy and indeed to all
navies. He has not only deprived
SIMPSONS fleet Of apprehension OF an
attack in the rear some dark night by
this vicious little boat, but he has DEM
onstrated that an auxiliary cruiser II
amply able to take care Of herself
against a torpedo gunboat, showing
that the offensive power Of this craft
has been very much overrated.
What sigsbee Has Shown.
The torpedo gunboat was an untried
quality in naval warfare up to this
time. Swifter than torpedo boat, sea-
Of which the torpedo boat is void, the
Imagination to all naval men. The
presence Of such a Spanish gunboat,
the Temerario, in the river Plata, In

several weeks a cause for great anxiety
at the navy department. Now Captain
Sigsbee has shown that with an unar-
mored cruiser armed only with inch
guns the torpedo gunboats are not to be
feared, at least not in daylight.
1t is said at the navy department that
1t is the present intention to start Com
