ARE PLEASED WITH SKATER
The President and Secretary Alger De- lighted so Far with the Com msndsr of
 the Army of Invasion.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-To say that President Mckinley and Secretary AL ger are gratified with the success that has so far attended the prog ress of Shafters campaign would be stating the case mildly. The presi- dent. in quick appreciation of Gen. Shafter's energy, has sent a cablegram congratulating him and the mon com posing his army on the excellent work they have done. The message could not be obtained here, officials taking the ground that 1t would be proper for Gen. Shaftsr alone to make 1t pub lie, but it is known to be couched In terms of praise. Secretary Alger added his tribute yesterday in tho course of . short talk with an Associa ated press reporter. He said he felt sure Shaf. ter would prove himself to be a wise, brave and prudent general. He was particularly impressed with one short statement in Shafter's dispatches re- ceived Saturday stating that he wanted nothing, which the secretary regarded as an evidence of the self-reliant char acter of the man. Neverthless, the secretary is sending along reinforce ments with all possible promptness It is a good deal better to have 1000 too many soldiers than one too fe W, In his opinion.

No Vacation for the President.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Some annoy ance has been caused the president by statements concerning his plans for the summer. Secretary Porter an- nounced last night that the president not only had made no plans as yet for the summer, but had not even consid- cred any. As long as the situation in Cuba continues critical it is said to be the presidents intention to remain in Washington, where he can direct bet ter the operations of the war than he could at any other point.

A Cabinet Member Reiterates That Peace Wm Come Only When Spain Reiinquishss
 Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines.

NEW YORK, June 2s-A special to the Tribune from Washington says: In view of the increasing frequency with which rumors of possible peace conditions are entering into the dis cussion of semi-official and inspired European journals. considerable sig nificance is attached to the statement by member of the cabinet that no proposition would be for moment entertained by the United States at this time which did not involve Spain's absolute relinquishmento of sovereignty over Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pine islands. The probable attitude of the United States to these former colonial possessions of Spain in the future, this authority declined to dis cuss. but, in his opinion, the complete eradication of Spanish influence and interest, so far as these islands were concerned, has already become fore gone conclusion and the United States would not at any time hereafter per init Spain to enter into any negotia- tions regarding them.

LONDON, June 2s. It is reported, now that the cortes is closed, that Premier Sagasta is planning to provoke crisis and form coalition ministry drawn from the different monarchical parties, including Marshal Campos and Gen.

The new ministry will pro- claim the whole peninsula in 8 state of siege, will reinforce the garrisons In the Carlist and republican centers and then appeal to a friendly nation. prob ably France or Russia, to secure terms of peace.

WANTS THE PHILIPPINES.
Spain Hopes to Retain the Rich Islands When War Ends-An Hope of Inter-
 ventIon Abandoned.

LONDON June 2s.--It is apparent that the most which Spain expects when the war has ended is the Philip pines, the loss of which would be the most terrific blow which could be dealt her. She has given up the hope of in- tervention by any foreign power, and realizes that whatever is done to get her out of the difficulties into which she has been plunged must come through her own efforts. The recent utterance of the duke of Almodovar that no power is willing to risk war with strong nation like the United States by taking up the fight of a weak country like Spain, is just the situation. He expresses the sentiments of the government when he declared Spains troubles must be settled by her own statesmen.

FOUGHT BRAVELY.
Several Americans Killed in q
 Fierce Battle with Spaniards.
Enemy Put to Rout, but Nearly Score of Our Boys Were Kilied-spanish Loss Much Heavier-vIctins of an
 Ambuscade.

OFF JURAeUA, June 25.-Yesterday morning four troops of the First cav airy, four troops of the Tenth cavalry and eight troops of Roosevelts rough riders, less than 1000 men in all, dis mounted and attacked 2.0O0 Spanish soldiers in the thiclets within five miles of Santiago de Cuba. The Americans beat the enemy back into the city, but left the following dead upon the field: Rough riders Capt. Allyn K. Capron, troop L; SerE.. Ham, ilton Fish, Jr., privates Tilman and Dawson, both of troop L.; private Dougherty, of troop A; private ". T. Erwin, of troop F; First cavalry, pri- yates Dix, York, Bejork, Kolbe, Ber- lin and Lenmock; Tenth cavalry, Cor poral White. At least 50 Americans were wounded, including six officers. Several of the wounded will die. Twelve dead Spaniards were found in the brush after the fight, but their loss was doubtless far in excess of that Gen. Young commanded the expedi- tion and was with the regulars, while Col. Wood directed the operations of the rough riders several miles west Both parties struck the Spaniards about the same time and the fight lasted an hour The Spaniards opened fire from the thick brush and had every advantage of numbers and posi- tion, but the troops drove them back from the start, stormed the block house, around which they made final stand, and sent them scattering over the mountains.
 Americans Led into an Ambuscade.
 JURAGUA, Cuba, June 25, via Kings ton, Jamaica. The initial fight of Col. Woods rough riders and the troopers rh, First and Tenth regular cav airy last Friday will be known in his- tory as the battle of La Quasina That it did not end in the complete siaugh- ter of the Americans was not due to any miscalculation in the plan of the Spaniards, for as perfect an ambus- cade as was ever formed in the brain of an Apache Indian was pre- pared, and Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt and his men walked squarely into it. For an hour and half they neld their ground under perfect storm of bullets from the front and sides and then Col. Wood at the right and Lient. Col. Roosevelt at the left, led a charge which turned the tide of battle and sent the enemy flying over the hills toward Santiago. It is now definitely known that Is men on the American side were killed, while 50 were wounded or are reported to be missing. It is impossible to calculate the Spanish losses, built is known that they were far heavier than those of the Americans, at least as regards ac- tual loss of life. Already 37 dead Span ish soldiers have been found and buried, while many others undoubt- edly are lying in the thick underbrush on the side of the gully and on the slope of the hill where the main body of the enemy was located.

ORDERED TO SPAIN.
An American Squadron Will Harass
 the Spanish Coast.
commodore Watson to Command It-wm sah from Santiago at Once-Iova. Oregon, Newark and Three
 Auxiiiaries to Go.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The navy department gave out the first inti- nation of its decision to send a meet to Spain by posting, at 11:15 yes terday, the following bulletin: "Com- modore Watson sails to-day in the Newark to join Sampson, where he will take under his command an ar mored squadron with cruisers and pro- ceed at once off the Spanish coast" Later the navy department issued a second bulletin, showing the ships to be placed under Commodore Watsop's
The Mena star., 1898-06-29

command. The ships named are as follows: Flagship Newark, battle ships Iowa and Oregon, cruisers To- semitic, Yankee and Dixie and the col Hers Scandia, Abarenda and Alexander
 The determination to send this squadron against Spain was the out come of direct official advices reaching the state and navy departments as to the progress of Admiral Camara's squadron. The squadron is the most formidable Spain has afoat, in total tonnage, strength of individual ships, armor and guns.
 The three vessels selected as colliers have started already on their way to Newport News to take on a large SUD- ply of coal. It will require nearly a week to get them down to Sampson's fleet, so that if the start is to be made from that point, 1t will be Impossible for Commodore Watson to get away before the Fourth of July. This would seem to be an suspicious date for the beginning of an expedition that will, for the first time in the worlds his tory, start from the New World to at- tack continental Europe.
 No attempt is made to deny that the government Is influenced in ordering this movement by desire to check the progress eastward of the Cadiz fleet. It was not believed that the Spanish admiral could be guilty of the folly of uncovering his own home ports in this fashion, but, inasmuch as he seems determined to do so, the naval strategists could not do less than take advantage of the magnificent op- portunity thus afforded to strike a crushing blow at Spain and thereby, perhaps, save much time and loss of life and money in the conduct of the tedious campaign in Cuba.
 When the American fleet sails for Spain it will take with it complete in- formation as to the entire stretch of Spanish coast, with detail maps of every harbor and it's Qualifications. The war board had 8 mass of this infor- nation before it, and spent part of the day studying Spanish charts and for tifications with view to outlining the series of blows which are to be de- livered to Spain at home.
 There is no intention of weakening the Havana blockade by the with drawal of Commodore Watson with his flagship. To prevent this Secre- tary Long has ordered Commodore Howell to proceed immediately to the American fleet off Havana to take command of the post vacated by Com modore Watson. Commodore Howell is at present in command of the coast patrol fleet, and he will take the en- tire feet with him, that is, all of the larger vessels to reinforce the block ade of the Cuban countries He is al- ready on his way south from the New England coast and should reach Gu ban waters by the end of the week.

An almost total stoppage of money order busi- ness on July l, it is said, has been averted by an agreement between the officials of the treasury and post office departments that the law does not re- quire stamps to be affixed to domestic money orders.
