comprising the newly created command
OF Brigadier General Guy V. Henry,
for the speedy departure to reinforce
General Shafter at Santiago. Already
the Thirty-third Michigan regiment
and one battalion of the Thirty-fourth
Michigan have started on this mission.
Today's orders cover the balance of
General Henry'S command. 1t includes
the remaining battalions of the Thirty
fourth Michigan and the Ninth Massa-
chusetts regiment These will complete
General Duffield's command. The or
ders also cover the entire brigade of
Brigadier General GarretsCn, which in
cludes the Sixth Illinois, Sixth Massa-
chusetts and Eighth and Ninth Ohio
regiments. The plan is to move all of
General Henry's division on the Har-
ward and Yale, these ships to make two
round trips. The first trip will carry
most, if not all, of General Duffield's
brigade.
The war department allows three
days for the trip, two days to unload
the troops and three days to return to
Newport News, making eight days.
Newport News, Va, June 23.!The
auxiliary cruiser Yale, with troops for

INsURGENT COOPERATION.
Cubans Carried Out Their Instruc'
tons to the Letter


washington, June 23.-At Manzanillo
the Spanish force is estimated at O,OOO
There are $1,000 regulars and 5000 vol
unteerS at Santiago. these figures be-
ing the estimates of the commanders
of our forces there. The men at San
tiago are limited in supplies, and are
being kept on half rations. The Gu
bans cooperating with the United
States forces are half naked, but are
well armed and under good discipline.
They Tough twell at Guantanamo
The Cubans are enthusiastic over the
arrival of the troops. There will be
10000 of them to put at the disposal
of the United States forces after the
city of Santiago has been stormed and
the flag of the United States floats over
its walls. A majority of the insurgents
are negroes. They need many articles
of comfort and necessities, and espec-
tally shoes and quinine.
General Garcia, just prior to the
landing of the troops, received cable
gram from the war department at
Washington practically giving him in
structions as to what to do with his
forces. 1t notified him, among other
things, that 1000 Cubans were to at
tack the rear of the Spanish force at
Baiquiri on Wednesday morning at 8
o'clock. This the later dispatches show
to have been performed. The men in
the insurgent camps, though disappoin-
ted at the failure of our armies to ar
rive promptly, maintained excellent
discipline, and kept a sharp watch for
the appearance of the enemy. AS soon
as the United States troops were dis
embarked Garcia's subordinates, I'M
der instructions from their command
ing general, were to place themselves
under the commanders of the United
States forces

Highway and Railroad From Bal
quiri to Santiago.


Washington, June 25.-Army officers
We're intently scanning the map of the
country around Santiago today with a
view of locating the troops and fixing
their formation on the eve of the ad-
vance. Baiquiri is about Is miles due
east from the mouth of Santiago har-
Dor. A small river runs inland at that
| point affording additional facilities for
landing. The map shows a. road direct
from Baiquiri to the entrance of
Santiago harbor and thence along the
harbOr to the city of Santiago.
Besides this road a railroad starts a
few miles west of Baiquiri circling
along the coast up to the mouth of
Santiago harbor. Juragua, the other
point mentioned in these dispatches, is
midway between Baiquiri and Santiago
harbor.
1t also has a small stream, giving
additional facilities for landing, and
the railroad appears to take its start
along the coast from that point Back
of this railroad and highway the map
shows mountainous formations, which
would make the progress of an army
difficult. 1t seems evident from an
examination of the army map that
General Skaters troops at Baiquiri or
Juragua will move westward along the
highway. perhaps utilizing the rail-
road and thus approach Santiago from
the southeast.
Distinct from this landing, which is
east of Santiago harbor, it,-seems evil
dent that at least a part of General
Skaters force will land west of the
harbor. thus allowing an attack on
Santiago from the northwest. The dis
patches state that a, demonstration
was made against Cabanas, which is
shown on the military map to be a
small place just west of Santiago har-
Dor AID not more than two or three
miles from the mouth.
No road is shown along the west
line of Santiago harbor, and the march
of the American and Cuban troops
making the assault on the west side
of the city may be slow and laborious,
through the tangled tropical under
brush, swamp and rock

THERE is vast difference in the relations of the United States be- tween the Pbillipine and Cuban insurgents. The former are but an incident of thc wal, wiIo were independently in rebellion against Spain and never asked the United States for aid or recognition of any kind. The Cubans, OH the other hand, have for three years been begging and imploring the United States to save them from Spanish tyranny, and we have finally agreed to do it. The Phil lipine insurgents owe us nothing, and, as we are now discussing the question of handing them back to Spain, they have perfect right to regard us with suspicion. With the Cubans, however, our word is out to them and the world just what we intend to do, and our al- lies are the very first to doubt our sincerity. Between the two the Phillipine insurgents have shown themselves the more worthy of the sympathy of the American people. -Ex.

How to Prepare Beef.

Every housewife should be arm ed with one of the new meat grinders. It need not be large, and will probably cost under $2, With this in the house the scram- ble for tender porterhouse at an exorbitant price may cease.
 Very little over half of a porter house steak can be eaten, what with bone and fat, and the fiabby stomach end of the peace, it is quite half waste. This applies almost equally as well to the sir loin. The round steak, with the aid of the machine, is the king steak of.thein all. It is the juici- est, most nourishing, meat in the beef, and besides 1t is all meat !; there is next to no waste. It IS much ceaper in point of first cost.
 After the steak is passed trough the grinder, 1t may be cooked in various ways; made into patties, dipped in beaten egg, rolled in whole wheat flour, and either broilel or fried. My favor ite way is to put it in a round graniteware pudding dish, salt and pepper slightly, three or four Jumps of butter on top, and after adding tablespoonful of water, put in hot oven where it will cook in ten or fifteen minues.
 TLis is sliesonly proper way to give meat to children. With their small teeth and tendency to fast eating, they cannot properly mastieate the ordinary tough meat, but generally bolt ii.
 If one is fond of onions and high seasoning, they can have ordinary Salisbury steak --Cleve- land Leader.
