The record-union., 1898-06-19

Garcia was to harass and engage the
Spanish bands, and see that reinforce
ments were not sent to Santiago and
the points where the American troops
will land. Another important point in
General Miles orders is to gain posses
sion of suitable points around the land
ing, on which artillery may be placed.
The ordnance will be debarked soon
after the landing, in order to give ade-
quate protection to the troops, if such
necessity should arise. The landing
proper, it is calculated, will take at
least ten or twelve hours after the army
engineers have done their work
This work Of the engineers will come
first, and will consist in putting to-
gether an elaborate pontoon bridge,
much more elaborate than that usually
employed for the crossing Of rivers Of
ficers who took part in the departure Of
General Skaters forces say every
thing was calculated to facilitate the
embarkation- The arrangement of di-
visions and of individual ships in divi-
sion was made with special reference
to keeping regiments together and get
ting supplies to them when the landing
was made. When part Of a regiment
is on one ship the other part will fol-
low on the next ship. The supplies,
pack trains, etc, also are distributed
as equally as possible to the troops re-
quiring them. The officials have not
even omitted to calculate on a failure
to work the pontoon pier, and they
are prepared for a landing through the
surf if need be, although this is not
anticipated. The beach is low and
sandy, shallow far out. and is therefore
we'll calculated for such a landing.

CONTRACTS DELAYED.
It May be Necessary to Impress
Vessels to TRANSPORT Meat.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The lack
OF available ships to carry the sup
plies is just now delaying the award
OF the contracts by the Commissary
Department of the army for furnish
ing refrigerator meats for the army
in Cuba as well as for the starving
natives. ,The Commissary General
prefers not to close the contracts until
the ships for carrying the supplies are
in such condition as to be ready
promptly for transportation purposes
Some difficulty is being encountered
by the department in obtaining YES
sells, and it may be that resort to i'm
pressment Will be necessary. The mo-
posals received by General Egan on
Wednesday from the various meat
dressing establishments of the country
contemplated that the Government
should furnish the vessels After they
have been obtained refrigerating an
paratus Will have to be installed 10
keep the meat fresh and palatable dur
ing and after its shipment to Cuba and
until it is furnished to the troops.
General Egan says refrigerated meat
only can be satisfactorily used FIR
feeding the troops, as experience has
shown that cattle killed the Gay before
and left over night are not edible.

LACK OF TRANSPORTS.
Government Cannot Get Enough
From the Steamship Comuanies.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-It beyins
to look as if the War Department might
have some difficulty in obtaining the
necessary transports for the Porto Rico
expedition unless some of those which
have been sent to Santiago are utilized
for that purpose. An earnest appeal
was made to the CONNER cial steamship
companies to favor the War Depart
ment and submit propositions locking
to the charter of such vessels The
replies to the Government kilograms
have been far from satisfactory. as
the steamship companies feel that they
already have gone as far as practi-
cable in surrendering their ships. and
that to release those still in service
would subject them to great loss and
bring their business almost to a stand
still
1t is acknowledged by the War De-
partment officials that the vessel own
ers up to this time have been very
considerate, and have chartered to the
Government a number of their best
vessels, and regret is expressed that
all that are needed cannot be secured.
In this dilemma the department has
been obliged to resort to ships of for
elgn register in the transport service,
and number of English bottoms are
now under inspection. Congress will
be asked to give an American register
to vessels so secured. They will be
materially benefited thereby, as after
the war they may engage in The coast
wise trade in competition with Amer
ican- built vessels.

ANOTHER TRANSPORT.
The Ve1ence to Join in Taking Ont

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn has made ar
rangements for the charter of another
transport for the troops to the Philip
pines. This is the Velence which is
now at San Francisco, and will accom-
modate 600 men. The other transpcrts

No message has been made public
to-day by the department regarding
securing. transports for the Porto Rico
expedition. The few on hand arn en-
tirely inadequate for the needs of the
invading army, and twenty or thirty
more will have to be obtained Owners
of a large number Of ships of British
registry have offered their vessels TO
the department, and these are being in
spected with view to their possible

BANK OF SPAIN.
Duration Of War Depends on It's
Ability to Finance Government.

LONDON, June 1S.-The "Statist,"
commenting upon the war loan Of the
United States, to-day, says:
The preparations for the loan no
doubt account to some extent for the
fall in American railroad securities
this week. The other principal cause
is the collapse of the wheat corner,
and if there is very much selling Of
American securities in Europe, as is
believed on the Stock Exchange, then
it is possible gold may soon be taken
to New York IN considerable amount.
American bills are known to be offer
ing. Indeed, it is said bills are being
drawn against credits, in anticipation
of ordinary requirements. Therefore it
is not at all. improbable that gold
may be taken, and if it goes we shall
certainly see a very considerable re-
covery in rates in London
Under the heading, rs the Bank Of
Spain Solvent?" the ''Statist' lengthily
discusses Spain's financial position.
saying: Upon the banks ability to
finance the Government depends the
continuation and duration of the war
Practically, the Spanish Government
IS now reduced to the expedient Of
using the printing press to meet its
war outiays, and the longer that print
ing press is in operation, and the more
notes are issued, the greater will be
the depreciation in the value of the
paper. If the war lasts much longer
we may see the paper peseta, which is
now at discount of 80 per cent, de-
preciate, as did the assignnat of
France at the end of the last century
Formal suspension of specie payments
cannot long be delayed Indeed, the
suspension has practically occurred"
The ''Statist" then presents an array
of figures showing the exact position
of the bank, with a note circulation of
1,3lS,OOO,OOO pesetas, without any ~ in
reserve available for it's redemption,
and further pointing out that such
note circulation may be increased to
2,300.OO0,OOO. Finally, the .'Statist"
says that in three years the Spanish
and Cuban Governments have borrowed
1,WO,UUOOO pesetas from the Bank of
Spain.

UNABLE TO FORM A CABINET
M. Sarrien Asked by Faure If He
Will Undertake It,

PARIS, June 1S.-After consultation
with MN. Peytral, Sarrien and Dupuy
this morning NJ. Ribot informed Presi-
dent Faure that he is unable to form
a Cabinet to succeed the Meline Min
istry. President Faure accepted the
letters of resignation on June 10Th.
Wednesday last.
President Faure, on NJ. Ribot's sug-
gestion, it is announced this evening,
has asked NJ. Sarrien to form a Cabi-
net The latter is depended on to rec
oncile the Republican factions. He was
Minister of Posts and Telegraphs in
the Brisson Cabinet, Minister of Jus
tice of the Goblet Cabinet, Minister of
the Interior in the third Freycinet Cab
met and Minister of the Interior in the
first Tierard Cabinet.
The reason given for NJ. Ribot's with
drawal from the task of forming a new
Ministry is that the Radicals demand
ed an equal division of the portfolios,
enabling them to demand a revision of
the Constitution. 1t is believed NJ. Sar-
rien. who is a Radical, will, for the
same reason, fail in his effort to form

LANDING SKATERS ARMY.
Ample Preparations Made and Con-
tingencies Provided For.

WASHINGTON, June Is. - For the
moment the landing of General Shaf-
ter's army of invasion on Cuban soil
IS the subject of interest in army and
navy circles. Despite conflicting re-
ports IL is stated with definiteness by
nigh officials that the big transport
procession has moved eastward around
Cape Maysi, and not via the western
route, arount Point Antonio The route
taken is expected to bring the troops to
the place of debarkation by to-mor-
row unless some unforeseen delay has
occurred. and the arrival may be before
that. How the troops will land. wheth-
er under fire of the Spaniards or unin-
terruptedly. is the chief topic of spec
ulation among military men. Some of
the officers who have just come from
Tampa and are familiar with General
Skaters plan, say that preparations
have been made to meet either contin-
gency-a peaceful landing or one un-
der fire. In case of a landing under fire
considerable dependence will be placed
upon Generals Garcia and Rabi.
The specific instructions sent by Cen
eral Miles to Garcia covered in detail
the landing of the American forces.
