NEW FORK TROOPS AT MANASSAS
The Third Volunteers Finish Their March,
A Scarcity of water.


BRrsTow. Va. Aug. 1.-THE advance OF the
First Brigade was held by Col. L. M. Hoffman

Manassas by 0:15 without n mishap. At Ma

and the reception given TO the New York troops
was enthusiastic. The boys tossed bareback
10 the Manassas beauties, and promised all
sorts Of favors il they would visit camp.
Here, nG ut Camp Alger. the water question Is
paramount and needs immediate solution. Men

Fresh meat and bread and new potatoes wore

the men from stealing than the guards now de-
tailed. To keep the men in bounds strict
orders were issued to-day forbiddinR passes,
and only allowing the men outside OF the lines
when accompanied by an officer, and then only
for the purpose OF permitting the men to search
for drinking water or to 20 in swimming. II

ST. JOINS. n, f.. Aug. THE Northern Mail

Major reports crossing the Straits of Belle Isle
Wednesday afternoon in a dense fog. He saw
no wreckage. He believes. however, that some
ship has gone down. because at Flowers Cove,
near the straits mouth. some deals and cheese
boxes were driven ashore, and the reports Of
the accident are such that there must be some
foundation for them, The wrcckagc could not

On Saturday week "a four-masted Allan liner

with a fog so dense that one could not

In between the fishing boats and the
shore, and were only saved from destruc-

fore Capt, Major sees, no imprO liability Of a
steamer striking an iceberg there because they
are numerous at this season and the fog il so
dense as to make 1t almost impossible to avoid
them.
He does not think 1t likely the steamer was a
large passenger boat as first reported, because
III that case some life boat would surely reach
the shore, but he expects to hear before long
that some cargo boat was the one which went
down.

SHAFTER's ARMY COMING NORTH.
Two Transports Bearing Troops Left SAN
tiago Yesterday.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-TWO transport ves-
sells bearing troops Of Gen. Skaters COM
mand to the recupcrative camp now being CO.
tablished ut Montauk Point sailed from Santi-
ago to-day. They carried the First Regular
Cavalry and the First Volunteer Cavalry tCol
Roosevelt's rough ridcrsl.
The indications are that before the end of
the week about one-half OF the soldiers
Of the Fifth Corps will have embarked for the
North. and from now on the transportation OF
tho troops is expected to proceed without much
hindrance until the whole force is landed on
Long Island. The transportation problem has
been much simplihed within the last few days.
since IT was decided to postpone for the present
the despatch Of Gen. Wadc's Provisional Divis-
ion OF eighteen to Porto Rico. Several
ships are now at Santiago. and the embarka-
ton Of the men is g question of Il short time
only. The army administration holds firmly to
its intention. however. to have q sufficient gar
rlson Of United States troops in the city and
province Of Santiago TO insure the safety of our
interests there pending the transportation Of
the Spanish prisoners to Spain. The Alicante
and three other ships of the Compania Trans
~atlantica Espahola Company. having the con-
tract for the transportation Of the prisoners,
were expected to arrive at Santiago to-day. and
there will probably be little delay in starting
| several thousand of Gen. Toral's surrendered
troops to Spain.
1t will be deemed expedient by the War De-
partment to conduct the transportation of the
American and the Spanish troops at the same
time, but care will be taken not to withdraw
our own force too rapidly. The necessity of
bringing Gen. Skaters soldiers to the north as
promptly as possible. however. will cause the
Administration TO urge, the fulalment of
the Spanish Transatlantic Company's con-
tract with all possible speed. The ques-
ton Of which troops Of the Fifth Corps
shall be first sent north has been left
entirely with Gen. Shafter, and the War
Department has thus saved itself n good deal
Of embarrassment Numerous letters and tel
egTams from all parts of the country have been
received by the Secretary of War and the Adju-
tant- General asking them to favor certain regi-
ments and urging the necessity of bringing
these organizations TO the United States with
out delay. In all cases the reply has been
made that the matter OF precedence will be- left
entirely to Gen. Skaters Judgment and that
the Washington authorities will not interfere.
