News Published In the Squadron Bull

II. lefin.
A second edition OF the Squadron Bull
letin.' published on the flagship New York,
off Santiago, has just reached the Navy
Department. and fora tiny sheet four by
seven inches, lit absunds in news of its
date, which is June II. Most of the facts
set out in the Bulletin have already teen
treated by the press correspondents with
the squadron or ashore. A large part Of
this particular issue is made up of letter
written by Felix Pafeja at Guantanamo
addressed to the Spanish military COM
mander at Santiago which was captured
by the Cubans en- route. The letter gives a
description from the Spanish point Of view
Of the attack by the American fleet on
Playa del Este and on the forts In the
entrance to Guantanamo bay. He said
that as Playa del Este had only two muz-
zle-loading guns and sand intrenchments
the detachment could do nothing before
the ships firing on them from all sides, so
the soldiers were obliged to retire. The
writer speaks of the shortage Of ammuni-
ton among the Spaniards and comments
with an air of wonder upon the serenity
with which the American squadron took
possession of the outer bay "as if har-
Dor of rest" He declares that he has no
flour and is serving out half rations, ind is
in hard straits generally.
paragraph from the Bulletin announces
that Garcia Is on his way with 5000 men,
all we'll armed and supplied from the expe-
dition of the Florida. He was said to lave
left behind a number of his men to pre-
vent any junction. with the Spanish forces
at Holguin.

Frazer B. Baker. colored man, was
appointed postmaster at Lake City, g. c.,
In the face of numerous protests The resi-
dents in the neighborhood did everything
in their power to compel the postmaster
to resign. but he held on to his office until
the night Of February q, when an armed
mob In disguise burned the post Office and
shot the postmaster dead. In the fusillade
the postmaster's baby was killed outright
and his wife and two children severely
wounded.
The affair attracted the attention of the
President and formed the subject of a cab
met discussion. 1t was ordered that no ex-
pense be spared to ferret out the guilty
parties and Chief Post Office Inspector
Hamlet took personal charge of the case.
He detailed two of his best inspectors and
outlined tne plan of apprehension. The

secretary under Postmaster General Gary,
was today appointed private secretary to
Postmaster General Smith. Heretofore the
Postmaster General has never had a pri-
waite secretary. one of the stenegraphers
being detailed to fill the Office. In the last
appropriation bill, however. provision was
made for a private secretary. Mr.. Dawson,
who was appointed under Mr.. Gary con-
tinued TO act as private secretary for Post
master General Smith and gave such excel
lent satisfaction that the latter as soon
as the opportunity presented itself, reap
pointed him.

HEAVY sksRMIsHEs.
Gen. Miles Does Not Look for Decisive
RESULTS, Today.

Gen. Miles Does Not Look for Decisive
Rasulta Today.
Gen. Miles SAID at BE clock this afternoon
that nothing had beep received from Glen.
Shafter since this morning, when ho an
nounced that action had begun. Gen. Miles
thinks that today's operations will be con-
fined ia, heavy skirmishing. which Will
probably result in driving the Spaniards
back to their main defenses. and that the
battle proper will hardly take place before
tomorrow.
In his opinion the principal fighting will
be done on the left and the main at
tack will be upon the harbor entrance to
the city. He does not look for decisive re-
suits before tomorrow. but agrees with
other army officers in the belief that Gen.
Skaters army will celebrate the Fourth
OF July in Santiago.
AS the afternoon wore on the most In
tense interest was manifested by officials.
high and low, in the news coming in from
Santiago. Since General Skaters first dis
patch from his headquarters. sent about
o'clock this morning. there were no mes
sages of an official character received by
Secretary Alger or by Gen. Miles. and re-
lance was necessarily had upon the short
but vivid reports coming through the press
directly from the battlefield.
In many cases these press reports, being
repeated by the officials to whom they were
supplied to other persons, were mistaken
for official reports, and. as is usually the
case with an oft-repeated story, the orig
inal recital Of facts was unconsciously mag
nified at each telling into very much more
sensational matter.
1t was difficult for the army officers, with
meager data at hand, to figure out exactly
Skaters plan Of operation. Generally
however. the report indicated that the
judgment previously formed to the CO.
operation of the army and the navy in the
attack were correct. 1t has been stead
lastly maintained here by soma of the mos
experienced officers of both the army ant
the navy that until the MORO Is silenced
the mine fields removed and Simpsons
ships have sunk or captured Cervera's
squadron, the army will not single-handed
be able to take the place and capture the
Spanish garrison.
One of the official dispatches received
last night at the War Department con-
firmed the press report that General Shat
ter had sent back on transports to Aserra-
deros from whence they came, 1000 of Gar
cia's Cubans. The purpose is double one;
first. to prevent Ieinforcements coming in
to Santiago from Manzanillo on the west,
and. second. to prevent the retreat in that
direction Of the Spanish garrisons Of the
town. A.

lated that warships of belligersnts. should
only remain twenty-four hours at Port
Said; whether the Spanish ships had been
there since Sunday, and whether Egypt or
Great Britain was responsible for this long
stay?
The parliamentary secretary for the for
eign Office. Mr.. Curzon, In reply, said the
provisions of the convention had never
been brought into operation. and the ques-
ton was one primarily for the Egyptian
government. adding:
''Thers seems to be good reason for the
course adopted in the present case
What are the reasons?" asked Mr..
Davitt.
I am not In the councils of the Egyptian
government" said Mr.. Curzon in reply.
Later, Mr.. Curzon made further state
msnt to the effect that there are four Brit
ish and five German warships at Manila.
He added that the British COMMANDMENTS
chief at Hong Kong was satisfied that the
British force was sufficient for the protec-
ton of the interests Of Great Britain. and.
If this was not the case, the command erin
chief at Hong Kong was in a position to
augment the naval forces at Manila.

can soldiers from approaching the neigh

flags, the line being directly in view of

The object of this. it Is thought at Gen.

If the Red Cross is ignored, to spread the
idea that the American soldiers are vio-
