WASHINGTON, June 30.-The situa tion at the close of the day was de- scribed by Secretary Alger as being such as to warrant him in entertaining the expectation of important news at any moment. There were two parties to battle, and it might be precipitat- ed by either side, and no one here knew what the Spanish disposition was. Nor is much more known respecting Gen. eral Shafter's plan of attack, although in his messages of yesterday he indi- cated a purpose to move early on the enemy, as shown by his declaration that endorsements could not reach him before he offered battle.
 Secretary Alger was very much grati- fled when heelearned to-day that direct telegraphic communication had been established between Washington and General Shafters headquarters at Si- boney Heretofore all messages from the general have been delayed twenty four hours, owing to the necessity of sending them across rough country to reach the cable station. The loss of so much time might be vital in case of urgent need for endorsements, or of ammunition ana SuppieS.
 The opinion is held here that the navy will cooperate in the attack on Santiago, and to that end part of Shaf- ter's force is to move immediately upon Morro Castle to capture the forts and to enable the naval launches to open the gateway into the harbor by remov- ing the mines. The experience of the vessels while in Guantanamo harbor in pulling up the mines there is expected to very much facilitate similar work at Santiago.
 No telegram came to the War De- partment to-day from General Shafter, and the understanding here is that he is employing his time to the best ad- vantage in taking forward his artillery and making all ready for the final as sault upon Santiago It is not known how far the Spanish re-enforcements have advanced since yesterday, but General Shafter has full knowledge of their movements, and it is believed is not likely to delay his attack until they have strengthened the garrisonS at Santiago by uniting with Linares.
 The second expedition from Tampa to re-enforce Shafter appears to have encountered almost as many difficult ties as the original expedition in get tlng away. IL was CollllueHtiy SAPCNS ed here that the start would be made from Tampa last Monday, but one diff ficulty after another has arisen to re- tard the movements, so that 1t was with a feeling of relief that the news came to the department from Tampa that the flagship of the expedition, the Hudson, had swung out into the stream and was ready to lead the procession of troops, which, it is believed by this time, are under way, bound for Santia- go It is calculated that the second installment of the re-enforcements dispatched to Shafter from Camp AL

dently intend to thus try to protect every place in the city offering a good mark for the American artillery.
 The fleet lies silently and grimly waiting for the moment to come when It shall finally measure its strength With the harbor batteries.
 All day four American men-of-war lay within mile and a half of Morro' s guns, but not a shot was exchanged. The sailors on board could almost have exchanged words with the soldiers ashore, and the fact that the Spaniards did not risk a shot or two is taken to indicate that perhaps they are very short of ammunition. The Iowa, Mas sachuSetts, Endiana and New Orleans could easily have been hit, as they lay almost motionless within such easy range, but Morro might have been a country schoolhouse for all the hostile demonstration it made.
 Word was received by Rear Admiral Sampson to-day that the Spanish sup ply-boat Purisima Conception, which escaped from Jamaica recently, has ar rived safely at Tunas, the port of Sancti Spiritus, on the southern coast of the province of Santa Clara. The naval officers here are much chagrined at the fact that the steamer got away.

PREPARING FOR ANNEXATION. Tn Event of Favorable Action the
 News Will Be Hurried to Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister, spent some time in conference with MT. Moore. Acting Sec retary of State, to-day, presumably with reference to the method to be adopted of putting into effect in Hawaii the provi- sions of the pending annexation bill, which is supposed to be approaching final passage.
 It is desirable that the earliest possible notice of the approval of the annexation bill be conveyed to Hawaii, so 1t is prob able that, failing the presence in San Francisco of one of the regular merchant steamers about to clear for Honolulu, the Government will charter some speedy ves- sel to hasten to Honolulu with the off, cial news. One reason for making haste in this particular Is the fact that the Hawaiian Congress must ratify the pro- visions of the annexation bill, and as the present session of the Hawaiian Legis- lature will expire by limitation very soon, 1t will be necessary to submit to all the delays occasioned by the. requirements of the organic law as to the calling of an extra session of the Legislature.

 Evans

NEW YORK. June 3O.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Up to the present time there have been fifty four claims fer pensions for men who have died or who have been killed in the Spanish war.

THE oREG0N's GREATEST DREAD.

Louisville Courier-J Journal.
 The heart of the nation is with the great battleship Oregon and her gallant com mander, Captain Clark. It is wonderful journey she is making-10,OO0 miles sail around continent and sixty days time to be spent in order to get to the battle ground. In Its path is lying torpedo boat which menaces it with assassination, and it is also threatened witha.attack by a visitation of the Cape Verde fleet. All the unknown dangers and mysteries of the tropical seas are around it in its wild flight, and before it and awaiting its ar rival are the greater terrors of naval war flare These. however, are as nothing to the fears which Captain Clark and his crew must feel that they will arrive too late for the fray. This race around the world in order to take part in ''shindy' that may be ended any day is a severe trial on martial patience.
