FORECAST OF CONGRESS.
No Positive Indication of Close of Ha-
waitan Debate This Week.


Washington, June 26.-There are no
positive indications Of the close of the
Hawaiian discussion in the senate and
unless the unexpected happens, debate
on this question will continue for at
least another week. There are rumors
floating about the capitol that a vote
will be reached for final adjournment
towards the end of the week, but no
confirmation of them can be secured
from the leaders on either side Of the
controversy, SO that, in the language of
Senators Jones and Davis, they appear
to be s1llusory." The proceedings late
Saturday afternoon and the admission
of senators who oppose annexation in
dicate quite clearly their purpose to
resort to dilatory tactics while the APP
pearances on the other side are that
| there will be more pressure brought to
secure a vote. 1--WE have a sufficient
| number of speeches engagd to insure
| our going on for three weeks, said
| Senator Jones of Arkansas, in discuss
! ing the outlook. He added that he was
willing to fix day for vote, but that
he would not agree to vote during the
present session. He said that in case
an effort was made to extend the daily
sessions into the evenings the friends
of the resolution would find it neces-
sary to maintain continuous quorum.

A SUSPICIOUS GRAFT.
Government Learns That One is Lying
at Fort De France.

Washington, June 26-Through its
agencies in the West Indies the state
department has discovered suspicious
craft lying at Fort De France, Martin
ique She is a collier and presumably
is trying to convoy coal either to Ger
vera at Santiago or to Blanco at Ha-
vana via the Isle of Pines and Bata-
bano. Captain Sigsbee of the st. Paul
and some of the other commanders of
the American scouting vessels have
been notified and are expected to de-
feat this purpose. Sigsbee yesterday
warned a British ship from seeking to
enter the harbor of San Juan on the
ground that it was blockaded. No for
NAL notice has yet been given of the
blockade of this port, but the captain S
action is in line with the construction
of international law published by the
navy department, namely that block
ade may be initiated without formal
notice, by simple warning from naval
commander. 1t is fully expected that
this construction will be combatted, if
the Spanish government can interest
any of the European powers to do so
but the navy department is sure of its
ground, having had the aid of the best
minds in the state department in franz
ing the blockade regulations.

MORE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
An Order for Mo vement of Fifteen Regi-
ments From Camp Thomas.


Chlckamauga, Chattanooga National Mill
tary Park, June Cit is no longer ques-
ton that large force of troops is about to
be ordered from Camp Thomas to the front.
An order was issued by command of Major
General Brooke to-day which virtually
amounts to an order for the movement of
fifteen regiments to Cuba. In accordance
with this order the first division of the
first corps and two brigades Of the second
division of the same corps will form an
exnedltionary force and are ordered to be
Immediately prepared and equipped for act
i've field service. The following brigades
are included in this order
First brigade, commanded by General Ear
nest and composed of the Eighth Massachu-
setts, Third Wisconsin and Fifth Illinois.
Second brigade, commanded by General
Sanger and composed of the Fourth Ohio,
Third Illinois and the Fourth Pennsylvania.
Third brigade, commanded by General
Wiley and composed of Sixteenth Pennsyl-
vania, Second Wisconsin and First New
Hampshire.
The order does not specify just when
those troops will go or to what point they
will be sent for embarkation, but it is un-
derstood they will go to Tampa for direct
departure for Cuba. That the order means
an almost immediate movement was sgni-
fed by the general rush this afternoon. The
ordnance department received large stores,
including Springfield rifles and other equip
ments sufficient to complete the fitting out
of twenty regiments. AS soon as these
stores arrived they were rushed to the va
rIous regiments for which they were in
tended The order was received with en-.
thusiasm among all the regiments affected
by it, In some of the camps the widest
sort Of enthusiasm was manifested The
desire to go. to the front appears to be
equally manifest among all the troops and
accordingly the regiments to remain in
camp feel a sense or disappointment that
thy were not included in to-day's order.

Alleged Attempted Hold Up.

A story current on the streets last
night to the affect that early in the
evening a car ON the Congress avenue
line had been held up by a crowd
of roughs at the West river bridge.
The police of the Howard avenue pre-
cinct in which the affair is said to have
occurred had heard nothing of the af-
fair, however, and the conductors on
the Congress avenue line claimed to
have no knowledge of any such occur
renee. The story was that a party Of
about a dozen roughs stopped the car
at the bridge and demanded from the
conductor all his money, but that he
pulled a revolver and started the car.
1t was said that the fellows then jump
ed off and threw stones at the conduct
or, one of the stones striking him and
injuring him severely.

TO AGUADORAS.
Telegraphic Communication to be Ex-
tended Within Few Miles of MORO.

tended Within Few Miles of MORO.
Washington, June 22.-General Greedy,
chief signal officer, received dispatch
last night from Lieutenant Colonel AL
len, in charge of the signal corps with
Skaters army He said that he was
about to extend his lines of telegraph
ic communication westward from Playa
del Este to Aguadoras, which is only
half dozen miles east of MORO Castle
and very much nearer the advance Of
the American army. This will be done
by a short cable which already exists
between the two points. A field
telegraph service has already been dis
patched from Tampa, so that In the
course Of few days at most General
Shafter will have telegraphic instru-
ment in his own tent putting him in
direct communication with Washing
ton. The little band of signal corps
men have been doing some of the most
energetic and exhausting work of the
campaign The cable operators are al
so deserving of the greatest praise.
There are only two at the cable ter
minus which means turns of eight
hours each. General Greedy already
has taken steps to have them assisted
by other operators as soon as the lat
ter can get there.

WITHIN FOUR MILES OF SANTIAGO
Troops Move Forward and Are Now
Beyond Village of SevilIa.

Headquarters of General Chaffee,
two miles beyond Sevilla, Sunday, June
26.-Noon.-By Associated Press dis
patch boat, Port Antonio, Jamaica,
Monday, June 27.-12:30 a. m.-The
American troops are now within four
miles of Santiago de Cuba. Two bri-
gades of Brigadier General Lawton's
division, in command of General Chat
fee and Colonel r. H. Hall of the Sec
ond Massachusetts last night and to-
day moved forward past the village of
Sevi1la, where the Spaniards were ex-
pected to make stand and occupied
the hills to the right and left.
Two miles beyond, far out in front
of the American forces and occupying
the roads leading to Santiago, is a
force of 1850 Cubans under General
Carlos Gonzales. The entire Cuban ar
my, under direction of General Calixto
Garcia is massing for cooperative at
tack on Santiago. Garcia with 5000
Cubans is expected from the interior
before nightfall; while from Acerad-
eros, twenty miles to the west of San
tiago, 1000 Cubans arrived to-day.
There are no Spaniards in the country
between Baiquiri and Santiago. The
retreat of the enemy after yesterdays
battle apparently became rout which
did not end until the Notifications
around the city were reached. The
transport Leona to-day brought to
Juragua from Acerraderos nearly 1000
insurgents, thoroughly armed and plen-
tifully supplied with ammunition. They
are part of the army of General Gar
cia and have been sent to the front to
join the insurgents already occupying
the roads to Santiago.

Juragua, Saturday, June %, p. M,
via Kingston, Jamaica, Sunday, June
26.-3:30 p. m.-Arnl1es Of the United
States and of Spain are almost face to
face and less than four miles apart
Tonight the picket lines at certain
points are within hailing distance of
the enemy. 1t seems certain that the
battle Of Santiago must come within a
week. The troops are all ashore to-
night with the exception of a few scat
tered companies that have gone for
ward. The supplies are sufficient to en-
able the army to sustain weeks cam
paign at both landing points. There is a
continual procession of small boats rid
ing to the beach through the pounding
surf and, as one weeks rations are al
ready landed, it Is be1ived the required
supplies will all be ashore by Tuesday,
the 25th.
The landing Of troops, horses and
supplies has been extraordinary. With
only one steam barge and compelled
to depend on treacherous small boats,
General Shafter has landed over 49, 900
men, hundreds of horses and mules and
thousands of dollars worth of supplies
on the exposed beaches, and only two
men have lost their lives. No more
than fifty animals have been drowned
and scarcely package Of supplies has
been lost. The officers generally are
surprised at the smallness Of loss life
and property. General Shafter said to-
day: 1T am well satisfied with the pro.
gress that is being made. The disem-
barkation Is slow, but considering the
limited facilities and the exposed ma
ture of the landing Of sufficient sup
plies to begin the movement on Santi-
ago. I am unable to say when it will
take place. I am much pleased at the
gallant conduct Of our men in the ac-
ton at sevilla yesterday and with their
veteran-like work. The victory was
complete"

CRUISER HARVARD SAILS.
Leaves Newport News for Santiago With
Reinforcements Aboard,

Newport News, Va, June 26.-The
auxiliary cruiser Harvard started at 2
o'clock this afternoon for Santiago with
the Ninth Massachusetts regiment and
two battalions of the Thirty fourth
Michigan. Thousands of people were an
swered with enthusiasm by the troops
who crowded the side of the vessel
and caused her to list sharply on ac-
count of the unequal distribution of
weight. The departure of the Harvard
from this port was in strong contrast
to the Yale's departure from Old Point
on Thursday with the first detachment
of reinforcements for Shafter. But few
people assembled to see the Yale sail
away, but practically the entire popu-
lation of Newport News bid farewell to
the nations defenders. The repair ship
Vulcan followed the Harvard to sea-
