Contract Has Many Steamers in

Washington, July %. 2.-Arrangements
were practically concluded by the gov
ernment tonight for the TRANSPORTATION
OF the Spanish prisoners at Santiago
from Cuba to Spain. The contract was
awarded to the Spanish Trans-Atlan-
tica Company, represented by j. NJ.
Ceballos & Co., of New York.
The company agrees to carry the
prisoners from Cuban ports to Spain at
the rate of $40 for each enlisted man
and 500 for each commanding officer,
subsistence to be furnished by the COM
pany on the army rations as provided
for in the government advertisements
for bids.
The award provides also that the
company shall have five ships at San
tiago in nine days from tomorrow, two
in II days from tomorrow, and enough
to complete the transportation of the
prisoners in 81 days from tomorrow
Two days ago, Colonel Hecker, in
charge OF the transportation of troops
in the quartermaster-ge generals depart
ment Of the army, went to New York
to consult shipping companies concern
ing the transportation of the Spanish
troops surrendered at Santiago. Bids
which he had previously advertised for
were opened at the army building in
New York today. Colonel Hecker re-
turned to Washington this evening.
Tonight he had conference at the war
department. with Secretary Alger, Quar-
termaster- General Ludington and Ad-
jutant- General Corbin. The bids OF
the several companies were considered,
that of the Spanish Trans-Atlantica
Company finally being accepted, as in
all respects it was regarded as the best
made.
On the basis of 100 enlisted men
and l, 900 officers. it will cost the gov
ernment s535, 900 to transport the pris-
oners.
The ships will fly the colors of Spain
and will be manned probably entirely
by Spanish crews. 1t was remarked
tonight, as one of the curious develop
ments Of the war, that the United
States government should enter into
friendly contract with a company,
many of whose vessels are auxiliaries
to the Spanish navy, and some Of
which have been captured or destroyed
by the navy of the United States.

As Usual, There Were No Losses on the
American Side-Spanish Losses Were
About 100 Killed-Care Taken Not to
Damage the City
PLAYA del Este, July 23.-The follow
inQ is the official account of the latest
naval victory-that at Manzanillo,
nodestly told by Commander Todd, OF
the eunboat Wilmington, in his report
to Admiral Sampson:
"At 7 o'clock on the morning of July
IS, the vessels on the blockade in this
vicinity, the Wasp, Helena, Scorpion,
Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck, Osceola, ap-
proached the harbor of Manzanillo
from the westward. At 1880 the Will
mington and Helena entered the north
ern channel toward the city, the Scor-
ron and Osceola, the mid-channel, and
the Hist, Hornet and Wampatuck the
south channel, the movements of these
vessels being SO timed as to bring them
within effective range Of the shipping
at about the same moment. At 1850
the fire was opened on the shipping,
and after deliberate fire, lasting about
two and half hours, three Spanish
transports, Ell Gloria, Jose Garcia and
La Purisima Conception, were burned
and destroyed. The Pontoon, which
was the harbor guard and storeship,
probably for ammunition was burned
and blown up. Three gunboats were
destroyed. One other was driven
ashore and sunk, and third was driven
ashore, and is believed to have been
disabled.
"The fire was maintained at a range
which is believed to be beyond the
range of the shore artillery. 1t was
continued until after gradual closing
in, the shore batteries opened fire at a
comparative short range, when the
ships were recalled, the object of the
expedition having been accomplished
and the ideas of the commander-in-
chief carried out as l understood them,
that is to destroy the enemY's shipping,
but not to engage the field batteries Of
the forts.
"No casualties occurred on board any
OF our vessels. Great care was taken
in directing the fire that as little dam
age as possible should be done to the
city itself, and so far as could be OBJ
served, little, if any, was done. The
Spanish loss is believed to have been in
the neighborhood of 100 killed. The
gunboats destroyed or driven ashore
we're the Delgado, Guantanamo, Os.
tralla, Continola and Guardian"

ment against the peninsula.
During the day orders we're sent to
Norfolk to hurry forward work on the
colIiers which are to accompany the
Watson expedition.
Had the army troop-ships been able
to go to Porto Rico without a naval
convoy the Watson squadron could
have got away in few days, as the
war board had wished to close all pre-.
llmlnaries by next Saturday. But as
the Massachusetts and the cruisers Co,
lumbia, Cincinnati, Dixie and Yale,
together with several lesser craft, were
considered necessary as a patrol for the
Miles expedition, this changes the
plans slightly. The Dixie is almost
certain to be in the Watson suadron,
and the Massachusetts is likely to be.
Secretary Long expressly says. how.
ever, that the delay of the Watson
squadron is incident to the conveying
of the troops to Porto Rico, and does
not mean that the start will be post
poned until the Porto Rico operations
are concluded.
The report from Barcelona that the
people were go fearful of the approach
of the Watson squadron that they were
urging France to establish protecto-
rate over all the Catalonia district, in
Guiding Barcelona, was dismissed by
officials and by the diplomatic corps
best informed in the affairs OF France
as fantastic speculation, unwarranted
by any actual movement now on foot.
1t is said to be thoroughly we'll estab-
lished that France is not lending a
helping hand to Spain in any of her
Affections.

Cuban Junta Patches Up the Trouble

Cuban Junta Patches Up the Trouble
Instructions to the General.
Washington, July 22.-Senor Que
sada and other representatives of the
Cuban junta have been in consultation
with officials of the war department to-
day. The United States officials were
assured that there was no dissatisfac-
tion with the management of affairs in
Cuba, SO far as the Cuban representa-
tives We're concerned, and that if the
Cubans operating about Santiago we've
not in harmony with the United
States, it arose from misunderstand-
ing of the presidents proclamation
and of the intentions of the United
States government in the premises.
The Cubans at Santiago, it was stated,
probably thought that the action of
General Shafter meant the continua-
tion of Spanish rule and Spanish au-
thority. 1t being we'll understood here
that such was not the case, it was the
belief of the Cuban representatives
that when the matter was made plain
to the Cuban officers in the field they
would acquiesce in the action of the
Americans and render the United
States army hearty support
The Cubans assured the war depart
ment officials that nothing was further
from their desire than rupture with
the United States forces and authority.
1t also became known that the junta
had sent dispatches to Cuban officers
that their course at Santiago was not
approved by the junta, and if persisted
in would result in serious injury to the
Cubans. 1t is believed that the repre-
senations made will bring about a
better understanding between the Gu
ban officers and the Americans.

Cervera to Stay in America.

Annapolis, Md, July 23.-A rumor,
which cannot be traced to an authori-
tative source, was on eyerybody's lips
here today to the effect that Admiral
Cervera had expressed determination
not to return to his native country at
the close of hostilities between the
United States and Spain. 1t is said
that the admiral has decided TO take
UP his residence in Boston, whittier he
will repair with his son, Lieutenant
Cervera, who is also Spanish prisoner
here, as soon as peace is declared. The
Spanish officers who arrived last night
on the Harvard were escorted through
the city today by members of the first
contingent of prisoners and seem well
satisfied with their quarters.

Lieutenant Jarvis, who led the land
expedition which arrived at Point

1000 miles in 102 days, and his arri.
val put an end to the troubles of the
ice-locked men. He first boarded the
Belyidere and was greeted by Captain

of the tame reindeer and the Bear

Atlantio Const oities Are sac.

Washington. July 20.-The naval war
board today held conference with the
president, arranging the final details
regarding Watson's cruise.
Secretary Long said that no appre-
hension whatever existed over the
Spanish threat that the Camara squad
ron woud be divided, part of the ships
coming to this side to attack seaport
cities. This is looked upon as sheer
bluff, and it will not have the effect of
changing the navy plans or of with
drawing any ships for patrol service on
the Atlantic coast. should the Span
ish threat be made good, ships more
than a match for any of Camara's ves-
sells would be available at any Atlantic
port on short notice.

SAMPSON"
The brief report from Admiral Samp-
son is really more important than ap-
pears on the surface. The bay of Nipe
lies on the north coast of Cuba, almost
directly across the island from Santi-
ago. 1t is proposed to establish base
there, which will save at least two
days. time in getting supplies into
Cuba, as compared with the Santiago
route 1t will also form a good point
of operation against Holguin, not far
distant, and II it should develop unfor-
tunately that a restraining hand must
be laid upon the Cubans themselves,
Nipe in connection with Santiago would
be an effective means of doing this.
