SPANIARDS PANIC-STRICKEN
Efforts to Conceal Whereabouts of
Camara's Fleet.

LONDON, July 21.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times cables:
Everything is being done to keep
the whereabouts of Admiral Camaras
squadron a secret, but there is no
doubt he is at Carthagena. The peo-
pie are panic-stricken. All the Span
lsh vessels are hurrying away from
the port, knowing that the forts are
useless 1t is believed that a similar
state of things exists at many other
ports. The south and east sides of
Barcelona are we'll protected, but the
north side is weak. A cabinet minister
at San Sebastian is reported as saying
that SantiaSos fate was awaited at
Havana and San Juan, from the same
cause-shortness of food and ammuni-
ton. He advocates peace. He says
the suspension of the constitutional
rights was fully justified by the agi-
tation of the Carlists.
Commenting on the American dis
patches Ell Impartial says:
The Americans see the hour fast
approaching of a break with the IN
surgents. The Americans must soon
realize their utter worthlessness.' The
treatment of the Spanish prisoners in
America has made a. profound impress
sion in Spain and is materially assist
ing the prospects of peace"

BARRELS OF LETTERS.
Miss Schenck's Chain Is still in
Good Working Order.

BABYLON. N. Y, July 21.-Miss Ma
talie Schenck, who is raising funds for
the Red Cross society by the endless
chain system, received about Il, 900 let
tiers today, mostly from the West At
10 o'clock this morning seven big bar
rels filled with letters were taken out
to the carriage house Of the country
seat of Matthew Morgan, Miss
Schenck's grandfather, and the work
of sorting and opening them was begun
under the direction of a New York con-
Germ, which offered to relieve Miss
Schenck of the work. A bevy of Baby
lon girls were employed all day at the
work. Their nimble fingers fairly flew
as they ripped open the letters, but
only a part Of the letters were sorted.
Mr. Morgan thinks that by the latter
part of the week the. special force of
clerks will be able to assert all the let
tiers on hand and distribute the mails
received henceforth on the day thew
arrive.
No money has been forwarded to the
society for several days Mr.. Morgan
estimates that each of the six barrels
of letters contains about $780, With
the specie on hand and the $4,000 pre-
viously forwarded to Miss Leverick. of
the society, the total amount received
so far is probably not less than SIS, 0OO
Among the letters opened today was
one addressed to Matthew Morgan
Esq, which was found to contain a
letter of exchange for f100 drawn on a.
London bank in 1857 to the order of
Matthew Morgan, father Of the recipi-
ent Of the letter. The letter is highly
priced, and is being kept as a souvenir
Of the endless chain.

Hope to Raise'ithe CristObaI Colon,
Vizcaya and Maria Teresa.

NORFOLK Va, July GA letter
has been received from Capt. Frank
Sharp, in which he says he hopes to
raise three Of the Spanish ships sunk
off Santiago by our fleet. Capt. Sharp
is in charge Of the wrecking steamer
R. J. Merritt. ~ With twenty-five ex-
pert wreckers and divers aboard, she
sailed from here some time ago to IN
dertake to raise the Spanish ships or
strip them Of anything Of value which
could be taken off. With the conserva-
t!sm Of his class, he does not express
his belief that he can raise the ships
in so many words, but it Is evident
that he hopes to bring the Cristobal
Colon, Vizcaya and Maria Teresa into
Norfolk harbor. The Almirante Oquen-
do, he fears, will be lost to us. 1t will
be recalled that the Merritt & Chap
man Wrecking and Derrick company
Is under its contract with the govern
ment to receive $500 a day as long as
the work continues, and a large bonus
for every vessel brought into Norfolk
harbor and delivered to the govern
ment. The wreckers, having a great
incentive, and fearing the coming of a
storm which might destroy their
chance of raising the ships are, 1t is
said, working like beavers.

SnCulu exercise caution In Secur-
ing Their Transportation.
WASHINGTON July 21.-In a report to
the state department, United States Consul
Dudley, at Vancouver, B. c., says that care
should be taken by those who contemplate
going to the gold fields in entering into
transportation contracts. Certain companies
have obtained considerable sum of money,
generally $500 for each person, upon very
ingeniously worded contracts that the per-
sons paying should be transported to the
gold fields in the north with all necessary
outfit furnished and expenses paid. In three
cases In which men have paid their money
they have been brought, at slight expense,
to Vancouver and other ports, and then
abandoned.
The mon who had contracted with one Of
these companies became suspicious while at
Vancouver, but after examination by the
agent they agreed to go forward. The con-
sui says he has received a letter from one
Of the party now in Fort Wrangel Alaska,
saying that the company induced his party
to go to Wrangel and after pulling the pro-
sent them into camp. where they have re-
manned ever since. When asked to be put
ahead they were put OF with promises and
now feel that the company does not intend
to do anything. The party is now at the
camp, far from home and without money.
1t consists of thirty men from the Old Bav
state.
The consul suggests that persons desiring to
go to the gold fields Of the valley of the
says he has abundant evidence that several
companies are now and have been for some
months engaged in the nefarious traffic re-
ferred to.

RULING AS TO MIXED FLOUR
TAWNEY HAS IT REFERRED TO
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

The Commissioner of Internal Rev

Question of Inspectors Discussed.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Represent-
alive Tawney had a long conference
with the commissioner of internal rev.
enue regarding the pure flour regula-
lions now being formulated. The chief
point Of discussion was with ref
erence 70 the definition Of mixed

lively held that all flours mixed with
wheat comes directly within the scope
or the law. which would result in tax
Ing manufacturers Of rye -four buck

Mr.. Tawney differed with the commits
sioner in his Interpretation of the law,
and the question was argued at con-
siderable length. The representative
contended that the words "mixed
-four" which is taxable under the law.
was intended by it's trainers to mean
containing a prepOnderance Of wheat"
and was not intended to apply to rye
and buckwheat, which have an admix-
ture of wheat, as this addition improv-
ed the articles.
The commissioner replied that in his
opinion the law was mandatory, and it
was his duty to enforce the statute as
he found 1t. Mr.. Tawney requested
that the matter be submitted to the at
tOrney general for his decision, which
was agreed to by the commissioner. The
representative Will appear before the
attorney general and is confident that a
decision will be rendered declaring the
law applicable only to food products
containing a preponderance of wheat
1t Is suspected that the desire Of the
department to construe the law as ap-
plicable to all food products containing
wheat is due to a wish to increase the
revenues of the government.
Another question taken up at the
conference was the application Of the
law to repackers Of flour. The regula-
lions as proposed would permit the
paying the special license tax Of s12
year. 1t was decided that this tax
should be levied. The conference will
be continued and several other features
Of interest will be covered.
Mr.. Tawney also discussed the ap-
pointment Of inspectors to carry out
the pure flour law. 1t Is stated that
Mr.. Tawney has two candidates from
the First district, but their names can
not be ascertained at this time. Mr..
Heatwole has a few candidates from
his district one of whom is J. b.
Fleury, Of Mortified. Enoch Stahler,
who has been head miller in number
of mills, has been Endorsed by both
senators and a number of prominent
millers. VIM Bracket, of Minneapo-
lis, has also been Endorsed by millers
and it is said he stands a good chance
Of appointment. It is understood that
the appointments will be made within

dreds Of American and Spanish SOL
diers who but few days ago
were shooting at each other crowd
the streets of Santiago today, meeting
and mixing On the most friendly terms.
A general feeling Of good fellowship is
evinced everywhere, victors and van
quished apparently being equally re-
joiced that the strife and bloodshed are
over and that the horrors of the siege
are ended.
Quaint stores, with gaudy displays Of
wares. are opening rapidly, and the
storekeepers eagerly accept American
money; courteously receive American
customers.
The narrow. cobble-paved streets,
griilng IN the fierce sunshine. are
crowded from morning to night by
chattering groups of uniformed Spanish
soldiers and crowds Of laughing, roll
licking men belonging to Gen. Skaters
army.
Great barge loads of provisions and
supplies have been going to the
wharves all day from the Red Cross
States army supply ships, and there
is evidence that privation is rapidly
disappearing. Along the water front,
under every awning, dozens Of women
and children may be seen munching
American bareback. and food is being
distributed very rapidly about the
plaza facing the palace and in the
numerous airy cafes where the officers
Of the opposing armies lounged
throughout the day.
The Americans are buying swords,
medals and buttons from their late
foes, and all talk cheerily whenever an
interpreter can be obtained.
The New York and Brooklyn have
spent the day almost under the shad-
ow Of MORO castle, lying as close in
shore as possible. Commodore Schley,
with party Of officers visited the city
this morning, coming up the bay in a
steam launch. The Commodore called
on Gen. McKibbin and strolled about
the streets making several purchases
and apparently greatly enjoyed shore
leave. He was received with great re-
spect by the Spanish officers VINO

of the Second cavalry, mounted, I'M
der Capt. Brett, to make the rounds
OF the entire military district Of San
tiago de Cuba, and for the purpose Of
receiving the formal surrender of the
Spanish forces. He goes first to San
Luis, where there are about 1850 of
the enemy's troops. Lieut. Miley will
then receive the surrender, in order,
of 800 men at Cobre, 1900 at Catalina,
$500 at Guantanamo, and $500 at Bar
acoa. A total Of 10000 Spaniards are
expected to yield their arms to this
one troop of cavalry. To reach Bara-
Goa, Lieut.. Miley will be compelled to
ride straight across the island to the
northern coast, led by a Cuban guide.
He will ride under a. white flag for pro-
lection, but Gen. Toral has sent mem
bers Of his staff ahead to notify the
post commanders Of the terms of the
surrender.
The wound of Gen. Linares Is much
more serious than reported His left
arm has been amputated, and tonight
he is in a serious condition.
