Camara May Attack Pacific Ports
WASHINGTON, June 22.-News

WASHINGTON, June q. News
has reached here that $4,000 tons
of coal are being loaded at Va1pa-
raiso, Chile. AS the coal is worth
about SIS ton there, the purchase
excited great curiosity here, and it
has been suspected that it was be-
ing made on Spanish account. If
this should prove to be true, and
the fact will soon be known, it
would seem to indicate a purpose
on the part of the Spanish naval
commander, Camara, to carry that
celebrated Cadiz fleet around into
the Pacific and use these colliers
to supply the fleet with coal. In
this case the object of attack prob
ably would be the west coast of the
United States, instead of the Phil
ippines; but, after all, the whole
thing is still matter of mere con-
lecture.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Gable Station, Guam
tanamo Bay, Province of Santiago de Cuba,
Tuesday, June 21.-The cable at this point,
on which Colonel Allen, with the cable boat
Adria, had been working for several days
under great difficulties, was opened for op-
Grafton to-day. Communication with Wash
ington was established and several official
messages have been received from Wash
ington
Matters in the harbor have been quiet for
two days, but stirring events are expected
soon. The launches of the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Dolphin to-day, by
command of Commander McCalla, dragged
the channel leading to the town of Caima-
nera and turned up seven contact mines,
each containing liz pounds of gun cotton.
The mines were exactly similar to those
found some days since by the Texas and
Marblehead, and every one had been hit by
one of our boats on the occasion of the bonn
bardment. Commander McCalla said the
escape of the American war ships was lit
tie short of providential. The work of drag
ging out the mines to-day, under charge of
Lieutenant Boughter, of the Marblehead,
Ensign Cole, of the Dolphin. and Ensign
Gherhardy, of the Marblehead, who direct
ed the launches, was dangerous, and was
very handsomely done by the young officers.

LANDING AT AGUADOREs.
Troops Debarl<ing Fifteen Miles East

PLAYA DEL ESTE CABLE STATION,
Guantanamo Bay. Province of Santiago de
Cuba, Wednesday, June %, a. m.-The
army began landing to-day at Aguadores,
fifteen miles east of Santiago de Cuba. 1t
is not expected that the Decentralization will
be finished for several days. The fleet of
transports which arrived off Santiago on
Monday disappeared yesterday (Tuesday)
morning for the purpose of making
demonstration at points east and west of
Santiago to deceive the Spanards regard
ing the point of actual landing. The demon
stration to the eastward was made at AL
tares and that to the westward at point
about equally distant from Santiago.
A Cuban who had deserted from the Span
ish ranks surrendered last night to the Mar
blehead, saying that he was unable to long
er endure the starvation rations issued to
the Spanish troops. He declared there were
many others in the same condition and anx-
ious to surrender. 1t is expected that
number will go aboard the Marblehead to-
day.

QUEEN REGENT WANTS PEACE.
She Is Said to BE "Sounding" the RuI-

ers of Europe.
LONDON, June 23.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Standard says: There is no be-
lief here in runners of peace negotiations, as
it is considered altogether improbable that
the United States would listen now that she
has landed troops in Cuba. The Temps
prints a letter giving the view of leading
Conservative statesman at Madrid empha-
sizing the necessity of seeking peace as the
only way of avoiding civil war or appalling
revolution. The writer says: There can be
no delusion. Spain's colonial empire is ir-
retrievably lost In anticipation of disturb
ances, the colonial army ought to be sent
to SPAIN
The Berlin correspondent of the Standard
says: THE Queen Regent has privately
caused those sovereigns who are her rela-
tives to be directly sounded, and those
whom she regards as friends to be indi-
rectly sounded, as to whether they are will
ing to mediate, but the stage of diplomatic
negotiations has not yet been reached, and
it is very doubtful whether it will be
reached for some time to come.
1.-THE semi-official Post hears from Ant
werp that persons commissioned by the
Washington government to enlist seamen
on neutral soil are said to have enlisted
more than q thousand German sailors for
the American navy and the auxiliary cruis-
ers This would explain the difficulty Ger
man captains have experienced of late in
manning their ships"
The Daily Telegraph publishes this morn
ing long letter from Madrid, in the course
of which, the writer says:
peace or war is the all absorbing topic.
Every fifth word shouted in the over
crowded cafes is 'paz' or guerra and the
desire for peace is unanimous. The feeling
of the nation and the military party espe-
cially is. however. that the government has
betrayed the country and now only wants to
arrange for peace to save the dynasty and
itself. Therefore peace must be made with

Austro-Hungarian Emperor 1t may be de-
sirable to uphold the monarchy but the
country must be saved even though the dy-
nasty were to disappear in the effort. In
fact, the government has succeeded in plac-
ing the dynasty in an unenviable light and
in ranging it against the Spanish army, and
1t has also made the question of peace and
war a choice between the interest of the dy-
nasty and the welfare Of the Spanish peo-

At 1870 a detachment of the Second Mas

had landed. Other detachments were fol-

The correspondent of the Associated Press,

Spaniards had done little wanton mischief.
A roundhouse, a locomotive, several cars

THE LATIN REPUBLICS.
Rumor that They Will Unite Against

LONDON, June 23.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: Reliable
information has been received in diplomatic
circles here from South America that pre-
liminary steps are being taken to summon
a conference of all South and Central
American republics to consider the advisa-
bility of adopting defensive measures
against future aggression by the United
States The Hispano-American republics
see danger in the prospect that the moment
the United States has effected its purpose
in Cuba it will seek to extend its influence
and authority over the Spanish-speaking re-
publics. In countries so subject to revolu-
tionary outbreaks it would be an easy task
for the United States to foment insurrec-
tionary movements--as the Spaniards claim
has been done in Cuba-with the object of
finally intervening and absorbing these
states individually or placing them under
Its protection.

The troops under Major General Shafter
this morning began landing at Juragua, ten
