WASHINGTON, July 15.-The sub
scriptions to the per cent war loan Of
5000. 600, 900, which closed at 8 o'clock,
including the offers made by syndi.
Gates, will amount to 81, S25, 900, 900, or
nearly seven times the amount of the
issue. The subscriptions represented
by checks or other forms Of payment
will aggregate about $750,000,OO0. It
is thought that no individual subsorip.
tions as high as $4,000 will receive
an allotment Of bond. During the
month the department. has received
about 900, 900 subscriptions and nearly
the last one opened was from New
York bank for 800, 0O0, 900. The total
number Of subscriptions for $500 and
under that has now passed the stamp
ers ts 228, 900 and that figure will be
somewhat further increased. The
total Of larger subscriptions numbered
Is 65, 800 and there are still several
Thousand Of these larger subscriptions
to be listed.

stream and will sail early in the morn
ing. Each of the ships carries large
quantity Of supplies and on the No. 81
there are 1000 head Of mules and the
wagon train of General Wilson's di.
vision. These men, together with
those Of the Sixth Illinois and Sixth
Massachusetts, which sailed from here
last week for Santiago, cons titute the
First brigade of the First division Of
the First army corps.
The scene which accompanied the
departure Of the vessels from their
docks was one Of indescribable enthu.
siasm. Practically the entire popula-
tion Of the city was in evidence. As
the vessels made the stream the bands
on shipboard and ashore played ma
tional airs and the thousands Of people
cheered like mad. The expedition will
sail directly for Porto Rico.

ASSURANCES OFTHEJUNTA.

Management Of the Cuban Campaign
Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Senor Que
sada and other representatives Of the
Cuban junta have been in consultation
with officials of the war department
during the day. The United States
officials were assured that there was no
dissatisfaction with the management
Of affairs in Cuba so far as the Cuban
representatives were concerned, and
that if General Garcia and other Gu.
bans operating about Santiago were
not in harmony with the United States
authorities it arose from misunder-
standing of the presidents proclama.

States in the premises.

ed For Manila.
SAN Francisco, July 17.-The fourth
Manila expedition is under way.
Shortly after O'Clock Major General
Otis, from his flagship. the City of Pu-
ebla, signalled the transport Peru to
get under way. The signals were un-
derstood by the anxious watchers on
shore and by those who had surrounded
the two vessels in small boats and were
received with great cheerings. AS the
two vessels got under way the cheering
increased in volume and to the accom-.
paniment Of hundreds of steam whis-
ties and the firing Of bombs and can
non the two vessels proceeded slowly
down the bay, past the water front
and out to sea.
Brigadier General II. q. Oris has

SPAIN MUST Be INVADED
Only Way to Convince Dons Of
Their Defeat.
WATSON WILL SOON DEPART
Right OF the United States to Take
Suoh Action Not Likely to =
BE Questioned.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The govern.
ment has given the question Of inva-
sion Of Spain proper the most careful
consideration. There is an earnest de.
sire in the cabinet that nothing be
done that would be calculated to dis.
turb existing friendly relations be-
tween the United States and European
powers. It is believed here that the
invasion Of Spanish waters by an
American feet of warships will not be
received with delight by any Of the
foreign powers save, perhaps, Great
Britain. There are, it is true, none to
dispute the perfect right Of the United
States to e"
Make War Upon Spain
in her own fair way, but the govern.
ment, it is said, is desirous Of avoiding
every thing that will give even pre-.
text for foreign suggestion Of inter.
ference. Now, however, it is said the
government has about arrived at the
conclusion that the better way to solve
the problem Of convincing Spain that
she is hopelessly beaten is to send Com.
modore Watson over with q powerful
squadron and let him finish the job 30
well begun in Cuba. And the quicker
it is done the better. is the way its II
being put here.

Considered tho Best Bid.

At q conference at the war depart.
ment Secretary Alger, Quartermaster
General Ludington and Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin considered the bids Of the
several companies, that Of the Spanish
TRANSATLANTIC company finally being
accepted, as in all respects it was re-
garded as the best made. On the basis
Of $4,000 enlisted men and 1000 officers
it will cost the government $545, 900 to
transport the prisoners.
The ships will fly the Spanish colors
and will be manned probably entirely
by Spanish crews. It was remarked as
one of the curious developments of the
war that the United States government
should enter into a friendly contract
with com mpapy, many OF whose vess
sells are auxillaries to the Spanish navy
and some Of which have been captured
or destroyed by the navy of the United
States.

Object to Being Surrendered.
MADRID, July 22.-(Delayed in trans.

ish commander at Guantanamo, refuses
to be included IL the ''capitulation" of
Santiago de Cuba. According to Span.
ish military law, commander can
surrender the troops which he person.
ally commands, but he cannot oblige
other commanders at distant points,
even though under his authority, to
follow suit. Consequently, it is held
here that the capitulation" only com.
prises about 1000 troops actually at

were gathered In the narrow and reef
bound harbor the American warships
Trenton, Nipsic and Vandalia, the
German Olga. Eber and Adler and the
English Calliope and a large fleet OF
merchant and flshing vessels. All OF
these were wrecked with the exception
of the Calliope, which alone escaped
through the narrow opening in the
coral reef and out to the open sea by
performing the most daring maneuver
recorded in naval history. Expecting
death themselves the 400 men on board
the Trenton sent after the Englishmen
a mighty cheer of encouragement
Later when 1t seemed that the death Of
all on board the Trenton was but a
matter of a few seconds the band as
sembled on deck and the anxious
watches on shore were thrilled with the
strains of The Star Spangled Banner
