observation, though he passed
through a camp which "a hours
previously had heen occupied by
strong Spanish outpost. Corporal Hucht.
of Company D, eth United States infan-
try, who, with seven men, was sent on
outpost duty two miles from Santiago
de Cuba Wednesday morning, and who
was forgotten until the afternoon, was
found by Gen. Shafter and sent into
camp. The men considered the whole
affair good joke. They had repeated
Jy seen the SpaniardS, who did not
offer to mOlest them, and the Ameri-
cans spent the day as if enjoying a
picnic in the woods.
CAMP JURAGUA, June %. via Kings
ton, Jamaica, July l. - Gen. Shafter
has decided to establish his headquar-
ters in the field and will occupy a tent
camp tonight. The siege guns have
started for the front. There is every
indication that Juragua will cease TO
be the he eadQuarters for the army,
other than for the medical and COM
missary department, in two or three
days. A sufficient force to guard the
place will be left here, probably from
the volunteer forces of 5000 men now
coming from Tampa, and practically
the entire fighting force will
swing into Caney or Aqua
dOres, making the base of operations
before Santiago de Cuba at this place.
The railroad from here to Santiago is
being rapidly pushed by the engineers
and large force of troops. Its COM
pletion will greatly simplify the
movement of supplies and the pack
train will have no more arduous work
than transporting the food and ammu-
milton from point to point at the
front.
Gen. Garcia was hotly impatient to
march at once at the head of his men
to cut off the advance of Gen. Pando
and his 5000 troops, who are march
ing from Manzanillo to join the Span
ish forces at Santiago. Gen. Garcia
was very insistent upon this idea, but
Gen. Shafter put an end to the matter
by saying: mo; let them get into
Santiago, and then we will know
where we have got them"
The Spaniards are falling back upon
Santiago, and it is believed that they
will make a determined stand and a
hot fight in defense of their position
in the city. The opinion is generally
shared by American officers that if the
Spaniards shall be forced to evacuate
they will march northward
to Nuevitas to join the Spanish col
umn, which just landed there, and later
try to effect a junction with the troops
under Gen. Blanco at Havana This
seems TO be the most natural move for

them to make, and indeed their only
resort in the event of defeat or the
probability of their being routed.
Spanish deserters who have come
into the American camp from Santiago
report that Adm. Cervera has every
thing in readiness to make dash out
of the harbor with his fleet, his object
being to try to sink at least one of the
ships of the American squadron, and,
if need be, 60 down with his flags fly
ing and bands playing.
Red Cross flags are flying in all parts
of the town, which either means the
recognition of the Red Cross in the
protection of the women and children,
or are intended to show that there is
a great deal of sickness in the city,
The latter, however, is untrue, as all
of the deserters from Santiago report
that the health of the troops and in
habitants of the city is excellent.

STEREOTYPERS' STRIKE.
They Demand an Increase of Wages From
1926 to $4.OO Per Day and Re-
ductiOn of Working Hours.

CHICAGO, July 2-The following bull
letin was posted at every Chicago
newspaper Office Friday evening at
10 o'clock:
At 8 o'clock this Friday) evening
the .Stereotypers' union notified the
newspaper publishers of Chicago that
unless their demands for an increase
of wages from So % to 81 per day, a re-
ductiOn of the working day from s to
z hours, with payment at the rate of
% cents per hour for all overtime, and
other concessions. were at once acceded
to, they would refuse to return to
work, In consequence of this
action the , common with all
other Chicago papers, will not appear
Saturday.
This action of the newspapers was
in pursuance of an understanding re-
Gently entered into, including among
other provisions the following agree
ment!
In the event of strike in any Of the de-
partments of one or more of the Chicago daily
newspaper Offices the mechanical resources of
all our offices shall be pooled to the extent and
with the purpose that no newspaper shall be
published unless and until all the newspapers
can be promptly published on the same day"
The stereOtypers have been averag-
ing from $3.50 to $22 per week on six
day evening papers and from $24 to S27
on seven day morning papers. 1t is
anticipated that the influx Of stereo-
typers from all parts of the country
will be so immediate and so great that
the interruption of publication will
continue for but few days

She KneW John.

"Did you see that account in the pa
per the other day" Mrs. Timmins asked,
about how one of our soldiers had
been accidentally shot during a sham
battle?"
No. replied Mrs. Hinsley, 81 didn't
see it. How could such dreadful thing
have happened?"
1T seems that one of the recruits put
a solid shot into his gun by mistake, in
stead of a blank cartridge, and when
he pulled the trigger the ball went rignt t
through a tree and badly wounded a
soldier who was on the other side of it,
"Merciful heavens!" exclaimed Mrs.
Hinsley; that's the reason why /
haven't heard from john for nearly 4
week. He was the man behind the

THE NEWSBOY OF PARIS.
He Dresses Like a boulevard Swell
and Carries Il Silk I'm
breIL2.

He is type that interests me consid-
erably. He dresses neatly, to begin
with. He generally carries a sill k UNI
brelia, and not infrequently-I give
you my word that am not eXaggerat-
ing-he puts by his money to get hold
Of a frock coat and a silk hat. He Of
fers his papers without the slightest
air Of conviction. The government has
forbidden him to declare the latest
news-if any-publicly, and according
ly he lets his papers sell themselves on
the strength of their names. y London
newsboy, with the latest special un-
der his arm containing the result of
the last race, would cease TO be a mass
of newspapers, rags and lawful trag-
edies" if he came across his French
brother, and would calmly fold himself
up and die from sheer grief. He would
turn cold at seeing a man quietly TAX
ing out his pIzse and rendering you
exact change for five-franc piece, and
not having the intelligence to go into
a public house close by with a back
entrance to it.
Perhaps it is the fact that racing does
not excite the editor that accounts for
this. The racing results are given on
an entirely different basis. Sporting
journals issue to subscribers a small
sheet resembling a telegram after each
race, and these are stuck up in the
cafes and gargottes as they arrive. Ac-
cOrdingly the newsbOy comes on the
scene later in the evening more in
passively, and as there are no contents
bills in France on account of the stamp
tax he is spared the trouble of helping
out the subeditor with delicate lies that
the latter would envy, but would not
have dared to put in four-inch type.
Still, they are not entirely devoid of
the enterprise of their London breth-
ren, and they use that old trick that is
so dear to suburban districts and which,
next to "Bradshaw's Guide" and ''This
mans father was my fathers SON." has
caused more blasphemy than anything
l know of.
You are sitting quietly reading, when
there is a hoarse cry of lie Jour
edition specialize You wonder what
the special could be about, for, as a
rule, lie Jour comes out regularly at
two in the afternoon. You pass over
your amazement and continue reading,
when a veritable army rushes through
the street crying at the top of their
voices. You try to imagine what has
happened. Has Rochefort turned Chris
tian; has the government decided to
sell matches that will light; has-weH,
what has happened? You scorn heart
troubles and bolt after the boys. When
you buy the paper you know.-To-Day.

The Spaniards have practically evacu-

The RIcazar.

In order to make more perfect prepa- ton for artistic production, the prom ised war drama, "The Nations Defend ers," which was to have been presented at the Alcazar tomorrow evening, will be withheld and historical pay, in four acts, entitled Frederick the Great will be put on. It is a comedy, with some military phases, and the incidents cover a period of twenty years of the life of the great Prussian King. George Foster Platt, the author, has utilized many facts of historical record fitted to the drama tists' needs. The play recalls the many talents and peculiarities of Frederick
 his honorable career as a statesman and warrior, as well as scenes in his domestic life, showing his tribulations growing out of his love of his former favorite, Baron von Trenck, for the Kings sister, Prin
 cess Amelia, which ends in the impris- onment of the Baron. The story also
