ON WATCH FOR A SPY.

Government Has Information That
Spanish Jnf0rmers Are at Camp
Me1Iitt.
San Francisco, June 21.-The great
est excitement prevailed in Camp Mer'
rift over the report that leaked out to
the effect that one of the most noted
and daring of Spanish spies had been
captured in camp. 1t was reported
that the man enlisted in one of the
regiments of infantry. An investiga-
ton of the rumor revealed the fact
that the spy has not yet been appre-
hended, but it is known that the gov
eminent has recently received reliabls
information that leads one to believe
that Spain has infOrmers in Camp
Merritt. The nature and sources of
the governments information are not
known to the officers here, but the war
department has issued iron clad or
ders to the commanding officers to
make a close investigation of every
man that enlists.

According to latest mail summaries,
which are not refuted by later cables,
there is not a country in Europe that
does not hold out the prospect of
good wheat return, says San Francisco
Commercial News. In England farm
ers feel confident, and in France a very
large and eaEly yield is looked for. All
the smaller producers make favorable
reports, and even Russia. regarding
which so many adverse reports and
surmises have been industriously and
persistently launched, comes to the fore
with prospect that is particularly dis
couraging to the extremists, who have
all along drawn and insisted upon the
least favorable conclusions. The Ar
gentine is shipping freely, and there is
no prospect of an early shrinkage in
exports. India has not been releasing
wheat OH so large scale lately, but
there can be no question as to the ca
pacity of that country if crop reports
were anywhere near the facts.

British foreign-trade returns are not
AS satisfactory as those of our own
country, and English journals COM
menting on this fact do not hesitate to
say that the lack of demand from this
country is being seriously noticed. The
export trade of the United Kingdom in
March this year was valued at EGO, 1884,
900, a decrease of 3.75 per cent. from
March year ago. For the first three
months of the present year the exports
were more than fl, 100000 smaller than
I'm 1897 and G3,600,000 smaller than in
1896. The import trade, on the other
hand, shows an increase, the higher
price of cereals being not unimpor-
tant factor in this latter result. The
total imports for the first quarter ag-
gregate Els, 099, 900, an increase of 91.-
4O0, 900 as compared vita last year, said
TO have been due almost entirely to
the higher price of wheat and -four
imports.

Kingston, JAM, June 21--One of the

men. Gen. Pando is on his way from
Havana to give relief to the Span

proceeding by way of ManzanillO.

WAITING FOR TROOPS.

For Thew Dewey Reserves the Hon"
or of Receivf ing the CapitulatiOn

London, June q. The Hongkong
correspondent of the Times says: The
rebels hold Manila at their mercy, but
Admiral Dewey is anxious that the
American troops should have the
honor of receiving the Spanish capitu-
lation. The steamer Yuen Sing reports
having passed the United States troop
ship City of Picking on the morning OF
the 10Th near Manila.

During our late war Robert Toombs,
af we remember rightly, declared that
the south would welcome northerners
into the confederacy with bloody hands
to hospitable graves. 1t was a cruel
declaration, and it seems strange now
that it was uttered by a brother with
regard to brothers; but war is war.
But if Weyler gets back into Cuba the
Cubans will probably translate it into
Spanish, and it will seem quite pleasant
and commendable.

Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
JAM, June q. = A careful inspection
of the Notifications along the crest of
the hills defending Santiago since the
bombardment Tuesday morning, show
the American gunners spread wreck
and ruin everywhere. Some of the
batteries were demolished beyond re-
pair. The vultures, which circled on
level wings over the hills as thick as
swallows around a chimney for hours
after the firing ceased furnish grue-
some evidence of the fatality among
the Spanish soldiers. Hundreds of
troops could be seen from the ships
digging in mounds of earth piled up
by the explosion of the projectiles
from the heavy guns for the bodies
While their heads were famed by the
llack scavangers Of the battlefield.
lne hill tops seemed literally blown
away. The most significant feature
was Moro castle. The saffron-colored
flag of Spain was half-masted for
hours. The significance of this is not
known. 1t is not customary to half
mast flags, but possibly some
Spanish Leader Was Killed
by the heavy fire of our guns, though
some officers of the squadron believe
the flag was half-masted as notifica-
ton to the Americans that Lieut.. Hob
son and his brave men were dead. Ii
such is the case they must have been
wantonly murdered. The Spaniards
may ascribe their death to the bonn
bardment, but not a shot struck Moro
castle. Neither Admiral Sampson nor
Commodore Schley believe Lieut.. Hob
son and his party have been killed.
There was evident decentralization
among the Spanish troops during the
bombardment. Officers could be seen
with drawn swords driving the men
to the guns, but even then they could
not be forced to stay so long as our
guns were directed at them. The fif-
teen minutes night work of the We
suvius had shattered their nerves. 1t
is believed by some that the thirteen
inch prOjectiles fired from the Texas,
which was reported to have exploded
the powder magazine in one of the
Western batteries, did not fall into the
battery but went beyond and
Blew Up One of the Ships
in the harbor. 1t was the most deadly
and destructive bOmbardment of the
war thus far. Scarcely a shot from
the big guns of the squadron went
astray. The aim of our gunners was
superb. and not only were the coast
forts annihilated, but the batteries on
Cayo Smith, up the harbor, were de-
stroyed. Had all the ships used
smokeless powder as did the New Or
leans, there would remain no signs of
guns or Notifications to indicate that
there had ever been any defenseS
there. There were no casualties ia the
fleet, although the ships held fixed po-
sitions, as if inviting the Spaniards to
fire upon them.
The Western squadron got into line
and began firing before the eastern one
did and the effect of the shots could
be plainly seen. The Spanish gunners
at the batteries could be noted and
quick fire was returned, but only for
brief time did they withstand the ter
rible assault of the fleet.

Young John G. Fremont, who recent
ay acted as a pathfinder in Cuba of
dark night, recalls the romantic cam
paign of fifty-six, when his father was
the first national candidate of the
brand-new Republican party. Colonel
Fremont had run away with and mar
ried Jessie, daughter of Senator Thos.
III. Benton, otherwise known as Old
Bullion; and the lady accompanied
him on one of his expeditions overland
TO California. One battle-cry of the
campaign was Fremont and Jessie, :"
and it was frequently remarked by Re-
publicans, "We'll give 'em Jessie"
And, on the whole, if those of our wo-
men who want to fight are serious, it
might be we'll to let 'em do it.

The captain of a Spanish vessel at
Manila who wanted the fight postponed
until he could get some ammunition was
treated with great severity by Commo-
dore Dewey. The courtesy was brutal
by refused, and presently the poor fell
aow excused himself and went down
with his crew. We learn from this
how cruel war is. 1t destroys all man
ner of politeness and substitutes death
for the amenities And yet Commo-
dore Dewey, so far from being dropped
from the service, is promoted. No
wonder the Evening Post bowls.
