Islands immed ioately but that her desti-
nation is the Island of Guahan, I'm the
Ladron group which are controlled by
the Spanish and which are about l,5OO
miles from Manila and $500 from Homo
lulu. The chief city Of Guahan is ex-
ceedingly we'll fortified for such small
place and affords one of the best har-
and coaling stations in the Pacific.
bout six months ago the Notifications
were strengthened by the Spanish TO pre-
sent a formidable resistance in case OF
attack.
The Post says that the United States
will seize the group and use the Island Of
Guahan for a Pacific coaling station in
addition to any others she may seize in
the future.
The Charleston. the Post continues,
was ordered to wait at Honolulu for the
first fleet of transports that left the city
and to take the ships 10 the Ladrones.
1t is asserted that the artillery which
went on the Picking was really intended
TO garrison the Notifications at Guam
han and that after quiet is restored and
the islands are under the control of the
United States the Charleston will, with
the transports, go to Manila.
1t is said that the MonadOck Will be

While they were in camp. before the
battle OF MurfreesbOro. the Forty-fourth
Mississippi Regiment more Familiarity
known among the men as Blythe's bril-
gade. was separated from the camp on ac-
count OF the measles. In order to equip
recruits. that were constantly coming
in, with the sOrely needed guns. the
Forty-fourth was practically disarmed
the intention being to arm them. later
with guns expected from the rear. About
this time the Federals began the move
ment from Nashville which brought on
the celebrated battle at MurfreesbOro
and when the brigade was ordered into
position an effort was hastily made to
arm the Forty-fourth. who had now re-
covered their health with the Old
smooth-bore muskets. These the regi-
ment fatty declined to have. and were
then tod that they would have TO 90
into the fight without arms This they
did. and when the order to charge was
given went yelling and bare-handed
across the field. but as soon as a fallen
foe--or friend either-was spied- he was
promptly relieved OF his gun and ac-
coutrements. SO that by the time the
battle was over the men were nearly all
well armed with new Springfield rifles

Of iron in the hands of a hidden ally and
seriously injured. The news of the affair

TO CUT THE CABLE.
It had been the intention to send the
cruiser Marblehead and the cable steam
or east TO Guantanamo TO cut the cable
at that point. word having been brought
that the Spanish fleet evidently was In
communication with Madrid. The ships
were to leave at midnight, but a subse-
quent order delayed the matter. In the
meantime the Spanish seemed TO be pro-
fitting greatly by the delay. Active work
is being prosecuted on the earthworks
and new guns are being mounted
on Sunday morning the feet lay outside
the harbor, a quiet, immobile looking lot
of innocents, ready TO fight at a mo-
ments notice. At half past 10 o'clock
"A tug boat bearing flag Of truce was
seen by the lookout on the Iowa 10 be
steaming down the entrance. Graspins
the situation Immediately Captain Bob
Evans commander of the battleship
Iowa, started out in a boat TO meet the
tug. at the same time instructing the
officers I'm charge to go as close as pos
sible to the mouth OF the harbor as TO
see where the Merrimac was sunk and If
her hull was successfully blockading the
harbor entrance.
THE CORK IN TIGHT.
The boat succeeded IN getting near
enough to observe that the Spanish tug
had to 20 into shallow water and around
the wreck before she could get out.
When she emerged the Spanish officer on
board after an exchange OF compliments
said the Spaniards had seen what they
believed TO be a flag of truce and had
come to answer II. They were politely
informed that they had been deceivd by
the awning over the foretop and that the
American fleet had no occasion to send
up flags Of truce. The Spanish tug
then returned to the harbor.
WILL-O'-THE-WISP.
Attention was called to the fictitious
story to the effect that the auxiliary
cruiser St Paul, with Captain Sigsbee
on board. had first located Cerveras
fleet here There is absolutely no foun-
dation for such a yarn. The scouts did
not arrive off Santiago until twelve hours
after Commodore Schley and his squad
ron arrived, and they were very much
surprised at the announcement OF the
whereabouts of the Will-o'-the-Wisp
