The men considered the whole affair a
good joke. They had repeatedly seen
the Spaniards, who did not offer 10
modest them, and the Americans spent
the day as if enjoying a picnic in the
woods. The Corporal said that if he had
with him sufficient force he could have
brought in forty Spanish prisoners.
Several pacificos brought in by the
American outposts seem to know little
of what is going on in Santiago.
Members of Company H, Seventh
Regiment, returned here last night in a
state of great hilarity, inquiring where
they could corral captured pack
train" In the center of the group of
soldiers was the pack train" Span
ish pony, accurately described by a
Corporal as being as thick as a shingle
and as long as a lath." The prisoner
had been dedicated by the men to
carrying their Captains baggage.
The camp conditions are hard. Heavy
rains are setting in. Rations, however,
are being served out more regularly,
but they are still not plentiful. Off
GERS and men fare alike. The latter are
suffering during the cold nights from
lack of blankets thrown away on the
march. These have been appropriated
by the Cubans, who take everything
in sight. and do as little as possible.
On the whole, they actually fare better
than our men.
The American officers generally ex-
pect movement to-day to capture
Caney, which is short five miles
northeast of Santiago. This, however,
is not official. Such a move may draw
| the Spaniards in force from Santiago,
but, in view of their previous retreats
whenever the army might have been
seriously harassed on the march, al
aggressive move on the part of the
Spaniards is considered unlikely.

THE CADIZ FLEET.
Navy Department Feels Little APP
prehensions Regarding It.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-While not
abating its close watch over the Cadiz
| fleet, the Navy Department does not
feel the same degree of apprehension re-
specting the movements of those ships
as it did when the start was made for
Port Said. The Government has done
everything possible to prevent this
! fleet from reaching the Philippines. and
the agents of the State Department
have been particularly successful in
their work
United States Consular Agent
Broadbent has just made a master
stroke which he reports to the depart
! ment. While the Spanish ships were
seeking permission of the Egyptian
Government to take coal at Port Said.
the Consular officer succeeded in
quietly buying up all the coal avail
able at this place. This amounted to
10000 tons, and it is in a good place
to be shipped to Dewey, to serve as a
base of supplies for Commodore Wat
sons eastern squadron when it enters
the Mediterranean sea, or to coal any
American vessels that may pass
through the Suez Canal bound to the
Asiatic station. if it should be permiss-
ible for warships to take on coal at
Port Said.
The news that reached the depart
ment through the press reports that
Admiral Camara is about to leave his
torpedo boat destroyers at Port Said
| because they would be unable to wea-
ther the monsoons that rage in the In
dian Ocean at this season is believed at
the Navy Department to presage the
dissolution of the squadron and the
abandonment of the cruise to the Phil
| ippines. AS these torpedo boat de-
stroyers have proved their ability to
eros the Atlantic in bad weather j! is
conjectured that the real cause of not
turning them back is one that is almost
chronic in the Spanish navy, name.y
| a breakdown in the delicate machinery
| of the war craft. Leaving out the
three torpedo boat destroyers, there is
very little left in the squadron of an
| offensive character, aside from the bat
! tleship Pelayo and the cruiser Carlos
| ". At any event the dropping of the
destroyers will weaken Camara' 8
| squadron so materially as to make his
| defeat by Dewey foregone conclu-
| sion if they should come together.

some delay at Tampa in dispatching
the transports from there with rein
forcements for General Shafter. They
felt that ait least some of the vessels
would drop down to Key West yester-
day, but the reports received to-day do
net bear out this hope.
The advices which have come to the
department are not absolutely clear in
their meaning as to just when the
transports will depart, although some
of them, according to these dispatches,
will surely get off to-day. The Hud-
son. one of the transports, with large
number of recruits, numbering in all
about $50 infantrymen, together with
five officers, pulled out Of Port Tampa
into the bay last night. The first llli-
nois Regiment of Infantry is loading
its property on the Gate City and the
City of Macon, but the regiment was
expected to go aboard this morning. at
which time the Hudson. Gate City and
City of Macon would leave for Key
West. There was not room aboard the
ships for cavalry recruits for some of
the regiments which had been assem-
bed at Tampa
Inree or the transports at Tampa are
to take artillery, of which there are
six light and eight heavy batteries.
Some difficulty has been experienced by
the officials of the department in deal
ing with the English crews of the
Unionist and the Specialist, and the
temper displayed by them has resulted
in delay in the loading of the guns
aboard Of these vessels. However, this
work is now nearly done, and the
horses We're to be put on the vessels
to day. A number of artillery men
are to so to Santiago on the Com
manche, although the dispatches dc
not indicate just how many will be
sent. These three latter vessels are
expected to leave Tampa tonight. Two
or three more vessels will act as
| transports to Santiago.
