CAMARA WAS
TOO SLOW
American Consular Agent Bought All
the Coal at Port Said.

WASHINGTON, June 3d. While not
abating its close watch over the Cadiz
fleet, the navy department does not feel
the same degree of apprehension re-
garding the movements of those ships as
when the start was made for Port Said.
The government has done everything
possible within fair lines to prevent the
feet from reaching the Philippines, and
agents of the state department have
been particularly successful in their
work.
Consular Agent Broadbent just made
a master-stroke, which he reports to the
department. While the Spanish chips
were seeking permission of the Egyp-
tian government to take coal at Port
Said, the consular officer succeeded in
quietly buying up all the coal at that
place. This amounted to 1000 tons, and
it is in good place to be shipped to
Dewey, to serve as base of supplies for
Watson's Eastern squsdron, when it
enters the Mediterranean, or to coal any
American vessels that may pass through
the Suez canal bound to the AsistiC
station.

DEFEAT OF DONS
AT SIBONEY
General Wheeler's Report of the Battle
in Whirh RoOsevelt's Rough Riders
Figured Prominently.

CAMP JURAGUA, Wednesday 29.-Gen-
era1 Wheeler has made an official report
to General Shafter of what is known as
the battle of siboney. OF the actual
battle Wheeler says:
General Young and myself examined
the position of the enemy, lines were
depioyed, and 1 directed him to open
fire with Hotchkiss guns. The enemy
replied and the firing became general.
Colonel Wood had deployed his right
nearly reaching the left of the regulars.
For an hour the fight was very warm,
the enemy being very lavish in the ex-
penditure of ammunition. Finally the
enemy gave way and retreated rapidly.
We followed them over the line, keep
ing close upon them, but our men being
physically exhausted by both their ex-
ertions and the great heat, were incapa-
BILE of maintaining the pursuit.
''I cannot speak too highly of the
gallant and excellent conduct of the
officers and men throughout my COM
mand. General Young deserves special
commendation for his cool, deliberate
and skillful management"

the Spaniards. who did not offer to
modest them, and the Americans spent
the day as if enjoying picnic in the
woods. The corporal said that if he had
had with him sufficient force he could
have brought in 40 Spanish prisoners.
The camp conditions continue hard.
Heavy rains yesterday set everything
af1oat. Rations, however, are being
served out regularly, but they are still
not plentiful. Officers and men fare
alike. The latter are suffering during
the cold nights from lack of blankets
thrown away on the march. These
have been appropriated by the Cubans,
who take everything in sight. and do as
little as possible. On the whole, they
actually fare better than our men.
The American officers generally expect
a movement today to capture Caney
which is five miles northeast OF San
tiago.

of Tennessee took the floor, and spoke in
opposition to them. He declared that
the treaty could not secure the necessary
two-thirds vote in the senate.
Bates declared the vote that would be
cast Tor the joint resolutions would be
the knell of repubIicanism, but it would
be cast. Tillman followed Bates. "Thus
far" said he, "the discussion has been
entirely one-s1ded. Whenever a major
ity of the senate sits IN absolute silence
on so important subject as this, I am
impressed with the idea that there is
some devilment afoot."

WASHINGTON. June S0.-It was learned
this afternoon that the Egyptian gov

Camara that the continued presence of
the Spanish feet at Port Said is violat-

must leave.
Secetary Long said this afternoon that
he understood Camara's feet had paid
the canal dues, and the presumption is
that they will continue the voyage.

LAwToN's HEADQUARTERS, Five Miles
East of Santiago, Wednesday Evening,
via Kingston, Jnne 30.-The American
troops spent yesterday in feeling for the
enemy, otherwise engaging in reconnoi-
sances. Shafter in person, with small
escort, went almost to Caney, a small
town five miles northeast of Santiago,
with which the city is connected by
railroad.
Lieutenants Standing and Adeal, OF
the Cuban army, and the American
sharpshooters have occupied a small hill
northeast of the American lines, and
looking direccly down on both Caney
and Santiago. Caney now seems to hold
about 300 Spanish troops. The small
number of troops there indicates that
the Spaniards have practically evacu-
ated the place, and this is believed to be
the case. Lieutenant Standing was not
molested during his observation, though
he passed through camp which "a
hours previously had been occupied by a
strong Spanish outpost.
Corporal Hucht, Seventh infantry,
who with seven men was sent out seven
miles from Santiago yesterday morning,
and was forgotten until this afternoon
was found by Shafter and sent into
camp. The party had repeatedly seen

aged, as it has been found that such

nations Of this character in future be

Chickamauga Park, June 29.-The or
der issued Sunday to Immediately equip
and prepare fifteen regiments Of the
First corps to form an expeditiOnary
force was revoked by Major General
Brooke. This does not change the plan
to prepare for an expedition, however,
since the revoking order affects more
especially the transfers that were named
in the former order. 1t provides fur
ther that instead of only fifteen regi-
ments being Immediately equipped and
prepared, the entire First corps Of
twenty-seVen regiments is to be has
tily prepared for active field service, and
the natural inference prevails among the
best posted army officers at the park
that the entire force will be off for
Tampa or other seapOrts within a week
or ten days, or as rapidly as the trans
ports can be provided
The regiments included are: Ninth
Pennsylvania, Second Missouri, First
New Hampshire, Twelfth New York,
Twenty-first Kansas, Eighth Massachu-

Major General Brooke was appointed
by the President to command the
troops. Major General Wade will be
left in command at Camp Thomas This
is, in fact, the understanding OF men,

change made by this order seems to
have been in accordance with General
BroOke's desire not to go to the front
without sufficient men for any emer-
genCy that might arise.

Spain Has
Her Troubles.
Political and Social Conditions at
Home Are In a State of
FermeRt.
A REVOLUTION is PREDICTED.

London, June 28.--The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Spain is in a state Of ferment, Of
transition, without parallel during the
present century. Troubles Of the graV-
est kind are brewing all over the prov
inCes. Every political and social insti-
tuition is threatened in turn, and the
least nervous among far-sighted poll
ticians apprehend complete revolution
"But the failure of the national de-
tense Is not alone accountable, but, In
credible as it may seem, the majority Of
Spaniards take absolutely no interest
in the war and even display a willing
ness to forget the past and endeavor to
rub along without the colonies.
The statemen responsible for the
loss OF the colonies are utterly reckless,
and the indifference to the peoples ruin
manifested by the governing and upper
classes Is probably unparalleled In his
tory. Hunger and misery are making
themselves felt throughout the country.
There will soon be 35, 900 unemployed in
Catalonia, and everywhere else there
are similar accounts Of distress, going
from bad to worse, day by day.
THE government Is painfully con-
sciOus, and is now taking energetic
measures, but all Of these are of a CO.
erciVe character. Troops which might
have successfully defended the Philip
pines are being massed at all the CEN
ters where starvation protests are likely
to assume an aggressive form, while
money Is being wasted on war ships
that will never fire a shot.
"The press expects to be gagged, but
1t unanimously declares that no amount
OF coercion and no degree Of dictatorial
despotlsm will hinder the country from
rising and manifestlng Its will. What
is far more serious Is the unfortunate
circumstance that the dynasty shares
In the unpopularity Of the government.
"The people argue that repression is
being employed solely in favor Of the
monarchy, which has remained abso-
lutely passive during the terrible ma
tiOnal crisis. On my way to the palace
to witness the confirmation Of the young
monarch heard expression given to
@nti-dynastlc sentiments Of the most un-
compromising character, which bode
no good to the boy king. In all other
classes the same lack Of sympathy is
Enthusiastically manifest.

fighting for, said one nobleman, SPANS
dynasty is still less so. II our soldiers
were not sent to fight Yankees we shall
