A GIGANTIC PROBLEM.
Question Of TifsanssPport. for Spanish
Troops Presents Dimculties.

Troops Presents Dimculties.
The quartermaster generals depart
ment of the army now has on hand the
most gigantic problem in the transporta-
tion of troops and supplies that ever
confronted the War Department. Ac-
cording to the best estimates the number
of Spanish soldiers in Santiago. which
the United States will have to transport
to Spain is not far from 10000 This will
require from forty to fifty transports.
Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn and Col
Hecker were in consultation for a long
time yesterday afternoon and an attempt
was made to provide q. feasible plan for
carrying the Spanish prisoners across the
ocean without impeding the progress of
the campaign in the West Indies.
The Administration has decided that
the best method. under the circum-
stances. is to advertise for ships. which
will be required to fulfill certain condi-
tions. for the transportation OF the paroled
men. Nothing definite can be done until
Gen. Shafter is heard from in regard to
the result of the meeting of the commits
sioners. ..-..
At midnight no dispatch of the kind
had been received, but a cable from Gen.
Shafter came during the evening, stating
that he had between 100 and 1.5c0 pris-
oners. This indicates to the War De-
partment that a longer dispatch. telling
of the meeting of the joint commission.
had been started on Its way to Wash
ington previous to the sending Of the 9th
er message. but had been delayed In
transmission.
The War Department has decided that
bids for transporting the Spanish troops
to Spain shall be called for. and II was
hoped that the exact number of men to
he carried could be learned before issuing
the advertisement. How long a time
will be required to land all the prisoners
in Spain. no official will attempt to pre-
dict, but there is no hope that the project
will be completed within the next four
or five weeks.

THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE.
Spanish Military Engaged In For
mulntfnE Conditions.

mulatinE Conditions.
Madrid, July 15.-Advices from Manila
show that after Gen. Monet abandoned
his troops they were unable to move in
land. They embarked on three hulks,
and the gunboat Leyte was towing them
when the American dispatch boat Hugh
McCuIloch captured the Leyte.
The hulks were cast loose and drifted
to Esteros, where the insurgents captur-
ed the troops, who are now prisoners at
Agency.
The officers who were aboard the Leyte
and who were captured by the Ameri-
cans, belong to Gen. Monet's command.
A dispatch from Captain General Au-
sustin states that Gen. Monet will be
court-martialed for deserting his COM
mand and going to Manila. Senior Au-
non, minister Of marine, says this even-
ing that Commodore Watson has sailed
for Spain.
The newspapers print optimistic ac-
counts of the defense preparations
which, in some places, reminded the cor
respondents Of the preparations made
by Paris in 1870. All information, how.
ever. indicates that the valor and enthu.
eiasm of the people will be nulllified by
the rottenness of the material at their
disposal.

Gen. Lee was so indignant at the

"Iou have broken every promise

Havana, April 12.--El Diario de la

caption AT Last He Is Gone" IN

1t says: THE Madrid public may
show itself very sensible I'm viewing

Gen. Woodford and his daughter. but
the Havana public showed itself o
sensible in viewing with indifference
the embarkation of Gen. Lee. Gen.
Woodford has not been converting the
American legation liz Madrid into a
club for persons out of sympathy with
Spain, or belonging to an annexation
list syndicate. Neither has he informed
his government falsely of the failure
of autonomy, or misrepresented the
causes of the Maine explosion. Gen.
Lee advised old-time American msr-
charts to leave Havana on the ground
that they would not be safe here and
that the Spaniards would commit all
kinds of excuses. Ii all the Amer
leans in Havana had behaved as he
behaved perhaps he would have been
right in saying so.
