MILITARY OFFICIALS
GROWING IMPATIENT
No Troops Have Started, NOtwith-
standing the Reports.
Much Dissatisfaction at Washington
Over the Slowness of the Move
notwithstanding and Confusion
Concerning the Convoy-Alleged
That the Slender Means of Trans
portation Cause the Delay-Regul-
ars Leave Mobile For Tampa.

Washington, June 5.-The situation at
Santiago is such, in the opinion of the
officials, that no startling developments
are to be expected Immediately, and
the next news that is to be looked for
from that quarter is of the arrival of
the troops. AS far as can be gathered,
in spite of all reports to the contrary,
these troops have not yet started. and
the naval officials are impatiently
awaiting for the movement. 1t is pos
sible that a small advance detachment
has gone forward, but it is felt here
that even that, composed of an engin-
eer battalion with siege train, is lying
off Key West.
There is much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed at the SloWneSs of the move
ments in the south, owing in large part
to the slender means of transportation
and the difficulty encountered in get
ting anything done down there in a
hurry. In army circles it seems to be
expected that Sampson is to furnish
sufficient force to convoy the troop
transports, but it is not known wheth-
ed there is enough to supply this force
from the squadron now off Santiago, or
whether he will call upon Commodore
Watson, off Havana, to perform this

TROOP SHIP PURSUED.
Probable Origin of the Naval Battle
Story.

Copyright, 1888. by the Associated Press.)
Port au Prince, Hayti, June 5.-Ac-
cording to the latest advices from San
tiago de Cuba, there were not more
than II ships in the offing all day, and
it is believed there that the three miss
ing vessels have gone for provisions
and munitions of war.
At o'clock this evening the Hay
ten steamer Nouvelle Voldregue arriv-
ed here from Cape Hayden, after hav-
ing touched at all the ports along the
coast. She reports that yesterday at
Mole St. Nicholas she saw the United
States troop ship Resolute awaiting in
strUctions. The vessel was under con-
Voy. It was ascertained from passeng-
ers on the Nouvelle Voldregue that the
Resolute had been pursued between
Jean Rabel and Mole ST. Nicholas by
two Spanish corvettes.
From the same source it is learned
that Admiral Cervera's squadron in it's
entirety is not in the port of Santiago
de Cuba, but that only a cruiser, sup
posed to be the Cristobal Colon, one
torpedo boat and two auxiliary cruisers
are there.
A dispatch from a government source
at Port au Prince says: A Haytien in
fornant, now in Santiago de Cuba, ca
bles that the restitution there has
greatly increased since the lombard
ment began and the military command
er has been forced to reduce the rations
of the soldiers, among whom there is
much discomfort.
There has been no direct commune
cation from Santiago thus far today.

WILLARD YOUNG'S ENGINEERS
HOW THE REGIMENT WILL BE
RECRUITED.
One Company Will Be Recruited at
Salt Lake and Another at Denver
Plan of Organization.

Denver, Colo, June 6.-The Republi
cans Washington special says: The
preliminary work incident to the Or
ganization of Colonel Willard Young's
regiment of volunteer engineers is now
well advanced, and the colonel expects
that everything will be ready within
the next week or so to open headquar-
tiers for enlistments in the several des-
ignated cities. According to present
arrangements, one company viii be
raised in Denver, one in st. Paul, one
in Omaha, one in Salt Lake, one in San
Francisco, one in Portland, Ore, two
in Cincinnati, and in Columbus, o. 1t
is not intended, however, to limit en-
listments to these cities. Each COM
pany, when organized, will consist of
70 privates, eight corporals, eight ser
geantS and three commissioned Off
GERS, captain and two heutenants. The
priYates will be divided into two class
es; there will be As first-class privates,
made up of mechanics, including car
penters, miners, draughtsmen, electri-
clans and linemen, bridge builders, pho
tographers, steam filters, etc. They
will receive about S62 per month. There
will also be IS Second-class privateS,
who must be good workmen, as rail-
TOaQ ldDOTGIS, sewer men, Glc.
Men of this class will get about $20.60.
Two good cooks and a bugler or
two will also be enlisted. Although
the regiment will be organized for a
special purpose Colonel Young wishes
it understood that they enlist as SOL
diers for two years unless sooner dis
charged and will be expected TO per-
form service as such whenever re-
quired. To them, however, will be
particularly assigned the work of build
ing bridges, earthworks, cutting roads,
building telegraph lines, etc. Colonel
Young expects to have no difficulty in
promptly getting all the men he can
use.
The several companies when organ
lied will be rendezvoused at Fort
Sheridan reservation, near Chicago,
where they will be supplied with Uni
forms and equipments. Although
Colonel Young has no definite informa-
ton as to where the regiments will be
ordered when fully equipped, he has no
doubt that they will be given service in
Cuba

CUTTING THE CUBAN CABLES
AGAIN ALLEGED THAT ALL ARE
SEVERED.
Operations of An Important Expedi-
ton Projected By General Greedy
Blanco Isolated From the Outside

Washington, June Sit developed for
the first time today that an important
cable-cutting expedition, projected by
General Greedy, chief of the signal SER
vice. and in charge of the strategetic
supervision of cable and telegraph lines,
had met with success and that General
Blanco was probably isolated from the
outside world, particularly from the
Spanish authorities at Madrid. The ad-
vices received were independent OF those
by the Associated Press dispatch boat
via Kingston, but they bore out those
dispatches and gave additional detail.
They show that the French cable from
Santiago to Hayti was interrupted at $50
o'clock Friday night and no messages
have passed over the line since then.
Word has not yet come as to the inter
ruption of the two British cables leay-
ing Cuba by way of Jamaica, but Cen
eral Greedy is satisfied that these also
have been cut.
The expedition was planned eight days
ago and was entirely apart from the naval
work in connection with cutting The
cables. Authority was given General
Greedy to fit out a ship and place 1t un-
der the direction of signal officers skilled
in work on cables; Lieutenant Colonel
James A. Allen and Captain Martin Hell
len, both of the signal corps, were placed
in charge of the expedition. A steamship
suitable for the kind of work was secured
in New York. 1t was equipped with the
latest devices for graphing cables and
was as complete in its outfit as the cable
ships used by the cable company. She
arrived at Key West the latter part of
last week and on last Sunday morning the
expedition started for Cuba, the gunboat
Dolphin acting as convoy. The t<5 TO
the east of Cuba took a day or two, and
the actual work of graphing for the
cables began about last Tuesday With
in four days the work has been accom-
plished
No apprehension is felt among officers
here that any international complications
can arise over the cutting of cables owned
by British and French companies The
only possible question which could arise
is as to the right of cutting cables outside
of the three-mile limit of Cuba, which is
hostile territory. 1t is understood, how
ever. that this point is not likely to be
raised, as Colonel Allen and Captain Hell
len proceeded with full knowledge as to
the desirability of performing their work
inside of hostile territory

London, June ga dispatch TO the
Daily Telegraph from Gibraltar says:
THE Cadiz reserve squadron is now
week out and is bound for Cuba
st. Pierre, Martinique, June 5.-S p
m.-The British steamer Twickenham
having remained at Fort de France
several weeks without getting permits
sion to land her cargo of 1000 tons OF
coal consigned TO the Spanish consul
will leave tonight for Jamaica.
There are numerous reports that a
fleet was seen off the northwest of the
island yesterday and it may be that the
Twickenham goes to coal the ships.
REPORT OF 4 BATTLE.
Copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated Press
Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 5.-Advices
from Mole st. Nicholas say that yester-
day Saturday some distance off Jean
Rabel, q seaport on the northwest coast
of Hayti, half way between Port de
PaiX and Mole st. Nicholas, a combat
took place between three Spanish and
four American warships.
The American ships are said to have
withdrawn from the combat
One of the Spanish warships entered
the harbor of Jean Rabel for water
Officers of ships lying at Mole St
Nicholas were extremely reticent.
Jean Rabel is an insignificant sea-
port, and there is no Geographic station
there. 1t is thought possible that the
Spanish ships encountered were the
vanguard of the Cadiz fleet.
The names of the American ships are
not ascertained, but it is believed here
that they were probably scout boats.
TORPEDO BOAT SUNK.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 3, p. M
a dispatch from Port Antonio says
- vessel that has arrived here from
Santiago de Cuba reports that the
Americans sunk, on Friday night, the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror."
The assumption, based upon dis
patches from Madrid, has been that the
destroyer Terror. after leaving Fort
de France. went to Porto Rico, and it
is probable that the Port Antonio dis
patch confuses her with her sister de-
Stroyer, the Furor, as has several times
been done in the dispatches from other
points

CHICKAMAUGA's SUNDAY.
A Delightful Day of Rest With the
Army.

Chickamauga National Park, Ca,
June 5.-This has been the quietest day
since the volunteer army arrived here.
1t was probably one of the most Ge-
lightful, too, so far as weather was
concerned. There were no drills or
parades of any kind and attachments
of men were given short leaves of
absence to visit nearby points OF in
terest. Religious services were held in
those regimental camps having chap
lains and it was in a word, a typical
Sunday with all of it's observances.
1t was stated on pretty good authority
today that the government would at
once erect a permanent building at
Lyle, the Park postoffice, to be used
for offices for the heads of depart
ments and for a postoffice. The mail
matter being handled is enormous.
An unverified report was circulated
in camp today to the effect that the
Eighth New York would be ordered to
the Philippines.
Paymaster Macarthur of the New
York National Guards arrived today
with the funds with which to pay off
the New York regiments for the time
they were in camp prior to being
mustered into the government service

cavalry arrived this morning and went

Washington, June 5.-The belief is
growing in the best informed govern
ment circles, that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and that even
now she is seeking a favorable oppor-
tunity to make overtures in that di-
rection. Numerous evidences of this
have come to the attention of the au-
thorities here, but up to this time no
actual move has been made toward as
pertaining on what basis the United
States would consider peace.
1t is said that the first step would be
toward having some disinterested
power make inquiry of this govern
ment as to what terms would be ac-
cepted, after which, the terms being
stated, it would be for Spain to form
a commission and make a formal ten
der of peace.
The authorities here feel that Spain
is feeling her way towards q movement
of this kind One evidence of it is the
utterance of the Spanish ambassador
at London, urging that a peace move
ment is opportune at this time. 1t is
thought to be highly improbable that
a Spanish official of his rank would
make a statement of this kind unless
it voiced the view entertained by the
authorities at Madrid. Another evil
dence is the sending of Senior Castillo
to Paris, his principal mission being to
enlist sympathy there and to encour-
age movement towards securing peace
on a basis honorable to Spain. With
this comes the report of the serious en-
barrassment of the Bank of Spain, on
which the government relies for funds
to carry on the war. The desperate
CO rdition of the Spanish forces at Man
liza, Santiago and Havana, are looked
upon as added reasons why Spain
should be solicitous at this time for
peace.
But while Spain is thought to be anxi
Gus to secure peace, she appears to be
unable to secure the services of dis
interested power to take the initiative
in a. peace movement. This was the
view expressed today by a leading
member of the diplomatic corps. He
said that much surprise had been
caused at foreign capitals by the re-
sentiment in the United States against
the kindly representations of the great
poWers. made to President Mckinley
some weeks ago, which had been treat
ed by the American press and by pub
lie opinion throughout this country as
an intrusion on the part of the great
powers. For that reason the efforts
since made by Spain to induce the Eu
ropean powers to intervene had met
with fiat failure because none of the
powers wish to arouse the enmity, of
the United States. For the same rea-
son. this diplomatic official pointed out,
the European powers were loathe to be-
friend Spain at the present time, even
to the extent of making inquiries as to
what basis of peace would be accept
able to the United States. No one
power would undertake such inquiries,
he said, as it would subject that power
to the possibility of being snubbed. He
thought such a snub quite likely, in
view of the manner in which the kindly
representation of the powers have been
received some weeks ago. And while
no power was willing to act alone,

COLORADO MINERS STRIKE.
Claim That the Operators Violated
Their Agreement.

Denver, June ga strike has been de-
cIared by the miners of the northern
Colorado coal district. over a thousand
men today decided to quit work on the adj
vice of the executive committee of the
Colorado state federation of labor. The
miners have the support of the Western
Federation of Miners and the Colorado
State Federation of Labor, the former
having offered to contribute the sum of
S50, 900 to aid in carrying on the strike
The action Of the northern Colorado coal
miners is the outgrowth of long standing
differences between the operators and the
miners, which resulted in several pre-
vious walkouts. Only a few months ago
a decision was reached by both sides for
the submission of certain questions then
in dispute, and on account of which a
strike was pending, to the state board of
arbitration The board gave its opinion
on the matter in question and suggested
a remedy. This resulted in an agreement
between the opposing sides to resume
operations, and since that time the mines
have been working, but with more IN less
dissatisfaction among the miners, their
claim being that the operators did not
live up TO their agreement. Today they
gave notice of their intention to again
quit work and the outlook is for strug-
gle to the bitter end.
