Many Spanish War Craft Scattered in
the West Indies.

The ravy is preparing for a grand hunt
throughout the West Indies. There are a
number of Spanish war craft left, scatter
ed through coves on the Cuban coast and
lying in obscure little harbors in the West
Indian Islands These are to be hunted
down and captured or destroyed, and the
movement is to begin Immediately, fer
Until the gulf and Caribbean sea have
been cleared of these little craft, no troop
transports can be said to be entirely safe
while passing between the United States
and Cuba, and the navy is put to the
necessity of sending formidable conveys
along with the troops Many of the little
boats have already been spotted through
the agency of the State Department, and
the others will soon be located by the aid
of the swift little torpedo boats and aux
iliary craft, which have proven SO useful
heretofore. 1t was with this object i'll view
that the recently constructed torpedo boats
Gwyn, Morris and others were ordered
from the north to Florida waters.

SAN FRANCISCO, July s.-Rear Admiral
Miller today received information from
Washington that he is soon to be sent to
Honolulu on a srecial mission, presumably
in connection with the annexation of the
Islands. He will receive his instructions
early next week.
The annexation will probably cause n
change in General Otis plans for trans
porting troops to Manila 1t has been sug-
gested that all the forces encamped in this
city BE- removed as speedily possible to
Honolulu, where camp may be establish
ed. Transports would then ply between
Manila and Honolulu, saving two weeks
which would be consumed by the round
journey from Hawaii to California. The
United States may send a body of troops
to Hawaii to support the new civil authori-
ties and to garrison the island.

Dear General:

Dear General:
Thinking that line about our fight
and general condition would interest ycu
l take this opportunity to drop you line.
We are all getting along very comfortably
thus far, and find the climate much better
than we expected Also the country, which
aside from being awfully rough and full
of underground, is rather picturesque and
attractive.
We commenced our advance from our
first landing place the 23d, and that
night Gen. Young ard I, as second in COM
mand of the I'd Cavalry Brigade had a
long war talk about taking the very
strong Spanish position about five miles
up the road to Santiago. He decided that
he would make feint on their front and
hold on hard, while 1 was to make a de-
tour by trail under couple of Cuban
guides and take them in flank and try to
get them out of their very strong position,
which was in the widest and toughest
part of the trail toward the town.
"Our little plan worked. 1 located the
Spanish outpost and deployed silently, and
when in position fired on them. Shortly
after l opened l could hear Young on the
right down in the valley. The fight lasted
over two hours and was very hot and at
rather close range The Spanish used the
Volley great deal, while my men fired as
individuals. We soon found that, instead
of 1,500 men, We had struck a very heavy
outpost of several thousand. However to
cut a long story short, we drove them
steadily but slowly and finally threw them
into fight. Their losses must have been
heavy, for all reports coming out of San
tiago report great many dead and wound
ed, and that they-Spanish-had 1900 men
and two machine guns (these we SAW, and
were under two general officers, and that
the Spanish dead and wounded were being
brought In for six hours; also that the gar
rison was expecting an assault that night,
that the defeated troops reported that they
had fought the entire American army for
four hours. but compelled by greatly su-
perior numbers had retreated, and that
the army. was coming, etc.
My men conducted themselves splendid
ly and behaved like veterans, going up
against the heavy Spanish line as though
they had the greatest contempt for them.
Yours, sincerely,
LEONARD WOOD"

Her Strange Actions.
Mrs. Murphy was persuaded to go to the
