Says the War VIII End in Few Months
Spanish Troops Starving.

Spanish troops starving
Washington, June 21.--Advices from
the fleet at Santiago, state that Gem
eral Garcia and his personal staff were
picked up at General Rabi's camp, 10
miles west of Santiago and brought to
the flagship by the Vixen. There the
grizzled and wounded patriot had
long consultation with Admiral Samp-
son regarding the operations for the
investment of Santiago and the coop
Grafton of the American and Cuban
troops.
General Garcia is very enthusiastic.
He says the Spaniards are starving
and cannot hold out long, and that the
war would end in a few months.
Two regiments of troops will be
anded at Guantanamo bay, which will
be held as base until Santiago falls.
There have been no signs of Spanish
troops in the neighborhood of Camp
McCalla for several days.
1t is estimated that over 300 have
been killed or wounded since the land
ing. Fifty-eight bodies have recently
been discovered. The Spaniards seem
satisfied that they cannot dislodge the.
Americans and have withdrawn. The
upper bay is to be occupied immedi-
ately. Lieutenant Delehanty, with an
expedition is nightly at work remov-
ing the mines from the river connect
ing the upper and lower bays. When
this is clear the ships will move up the
channel and take the town of Caiman-
era, whose forts were demolished by
the Texas June IS.

sLAmoo's THREAT.
VIII Fire Upon amy Flag of Truce That
Comes in Range.

Kew West, Fla, Iune Cit is learn
ed from naval officers that Captain
General Blanco has notified the Ameri-
can blockading fleet that he will here
after recognize no flag of truce, adding
that every vessel within six miles
range will be fired upon, whether n.y.
ing the stars or stripes or white flag.
The following has been received from
Commodore Watson:
Captain General states that Spanish
government refuses to exchange prls-
oners."
Hobson and his men are the prison
ers in question.
1t seems that events which led up to
General Blanco's letter began with the
sending of the Maple, under charge OF
Captain Ludlow, to open negotiations
for the exchange of Lieutent Hobsor
and other Merrimac prisoners.
General Blanco's letter was address,
ed to the monitor Terrors captain
ludlow. After refusing to negotiate
for the exchange of the prisoners he
delivered the ultimatum as to boats
with flags of truce.

A Terrible Battle Is Looked For Upon III

Attempt TO Lana troops
Washington, June 22.-The UnlteI

General Shafter arrived off Santiago
/ de Cuba about noon yesterday, and
when the fleet of thirty-five transports
with its freight of lighting men swept
up the southern coast and slowed up
within sight of the doomed city of San
tiago, the anxiously awaited soldier
were greeted with ringing cheers
which family echoing to the transports
from the decks of the bloclSading war
ships, far inshore, they were answered
by the troops most Enthusiastically
and in kind.
The week of anxious waiting and i'm
patient chatting was over, the army and
the navy had at last joined for final
blow at Santiago.
1t was intended TO take the entire
fleet to the lines of Rear Admiral Samp
sons fleet Of warships, but an order
from the admiral stopped the advance
of the fleet about 3 miles to the south
east, and, escorted by the Gloucester,
General Shafter went forward on the
Segurancia to confer with the ad'
miral.
The long and trying journey from
Tampa has left the men in a much
better condition than anticipated.
There are IA cases of typhoid on the
hospital ship, among them being Ma
ior Horton of TIE Twenty-ffth in
fantry, and several cases of measles.
There are, however, no serious cases
of sickness. Owing to the smoothness
of the passage, the soldiers were not
affected by seasickness.
They are all wildly anxious to get
ashore and begin fighting
Whenever the landing takes place
there will undoubtedly be some warm
lighting. The Spaniards have force
of from 30, 900 to As, 900 men, placed
from Guantanamo to Cabanas, a dis
tance of fifty miles, and as our troops
will be landed at different points,
some warm work may be looked for.

San Francisco, June 21.-The third
expedition to Manila will sail next
Thursday or Friday at the latest. This
announcement was made at Gen. Mer-
ritt's headquarters, but report from
other sources say that the transports
cannot be gotten in complete readiness
by that time. The officers who are
supervising the preparations on board
the vessels differ with the steamship
companies concerning the time needed
to complete the alterations, and report
to Gen. Merritt that the transports
ought to be ready by Thursday.
