Manoog Piligian, an Armenian labor
er, was shot and killed, Tuesday moru-
ing, by Douglas Fuller, the 13-years old
son of ". o. Fuller, Jr,, of Rockland,
editor of the Courier. Gazette, by whom
the Armenian was employed. The
shooting was accidental. Young Fuller
was playing with a revolver which he
had procured from playmate and while
examining it the weapon was discharg-
ed, bullet striking Pilligan, who was
at work near the Fuller residence. The
bullet entered the head of the Arme-
MAN, passing into his brain. The Fuller
family at once summoned Doctors Spen-
Ger and Alden, but they were unable TO
do anything, the victim dying a short
time after the accident. The boy says
that when he borrowed the revolver he
was informed that it was not loaded, and
had no idea that there was a cartridge
in the cylinder. Piligan was % years
of age and came to this city from Arme-
MIA III 1896. There is no doubt about
the shooting being accidental.

meningitis. He was buried at sea
the same day with military honors.
The ships Of the fleet were
brought to, with troops drawn up
on deck, while the body was COM
mitted to the deep.
Geddes was about % years of age.
His home was in Beatrice, Neb.,
where his parents reside.
c. H. Fiske. a member of Com
pany d, Nebraska Volunteers, died
here on the 25th. A combination
attack of typhoid fever and measles
was the cause Of death The funeral
took place from the Central Union
Church and was attended by the
best people in this city.
The United States steamer Mon
terey and the collier Brutus ar
rived from Sandiego on the oath
inst. They left the latter port on
the 18th. The Monterey experienced
a heavy northwest swell nearly all
the way. She ran under her own
steam until the 10Th, when the Bru-
tus took her in tow The tow line
parted that night, but was picked
up again the following morning.
The Brutus continued to tow her.
The Monterey reached port with
about 200 tons of coal in her bunk
ers. Her officers are high In their
praises of her sea behavior and de-
clare that, contrary to expecta-
lions, the quarters of both officers
and men were kept thoroughly
dry.
The Monterey recoaled here and
was ready for sea yesterday. Her
departure was delayed by the Bru-
tus. whose engines require an over
hauling.
Both vessels left for Manila to-
day.
Previous to his departure the
captain of the Brutus purchased
several surf boats and engaged a
number of Hawaiians to man them.

Honolulu, June 20, via San Fran
cisco, July 1.-THE steamship
China, of the Manila transport
fleet, reached this port from San
Francisco on the morning of the
23d. one day ahead of the other
vessels of the fleet. The China
steamed ahead of the Zealandia,
Colon and Senator in order to load
coal and clear the wharf before The
other vessels
The big steamship received a
warm welcome. There was a large
crowd of people on the wharf. The
troops swarmed the decks and rig
ging of the China.
Brigadier General Green immedi-
ately sent his adjutant to the wharf
with his compliments to United
States Consul General Haywood
and President Dole. who was on
the wharf and invited them on
board.
AT 9 O'Clock the soldiers were al
lowed to go ashore, and were
marched to Waikiki, where every =
man took a sea bath. The men
were then marched to town and
at 2 o'clock they were provided
with a feast on the executive
grounds. This Functions was car
ried out precisely on the lines Of
the one of the first expedition.
Ladies waited on the tables. Off
GERS were entertained at the mill
tary headquarters There was an
abundance of food and refresh
ments for everybody.
At $50 o'clock of the same day
the Zealandia, Colon and Senator
were sighted. 1t was quite late when
the vessels reached the harbor.
Crowds on the wharves cheered the
vessels as they entered port and the
men ON the transports responded
vigorously. BY midnight all an
chored for the night
The men were landed the next
day and were entertained by the
citizens of Honolulu.
The expedition sailed for Manila

Washington, July THE Presi-
dent called a council of war to-day
to meet at the White House, the
purpose being to review the situa-
ton and learn exactly what present
conditions are and what changes,
if any, should be made in the plans
for the future conduct of the war.
According to one of the members
it was decided to abide by the plans
already laid, at least as to the gem
eral conduct of the campaign. Con-
firmation seemed to have been CIV
en- to this statement later in the day
when, after a conference with the
members of the war board, Secre-
tary Long announced to the wait
ing newspaper men that he had
ordered Admiral Sampson to de-
tach from his own command i'm
mediately the vessels to be en-
braced in Commodore Watson's
Eastern Squadron and to direct the
Commodore to proceed on his mis-
sion. The vessels OF the squadron
will not be the same as those orig
inally selected for the reason prob
ably that the recent engagement
with Cervera's squadron necessita-
ted some changes. The new East
ern squadron will consist Of the
battleships Iowa and Oregon, the
protected cruiser Newark and the
auxiliary cruisers carrying side
armor) Dixie, Yankee and Yose-
mite, the GOLFERS Avernda, Cassius,
Caesar, Leonidas and Justin, and
the supply boat Delmonlco.
The Iowa, Oregon and Newark
are all in the South with Sampson.
So is the Yosemite. The Dixie Is at
New York and the Yankee at Tomp-
kinsville. The GOLFERS are at
Hampton Roads with the Delmon-
leo. The ships are to set sail as
soon as they can coal and supply.
They will not be required in the
case Of the southern vessels to come
north, which would mean the loss
of several days, but will start di-
rectly from the points where they
are now located. The order pro-
vides that each ship shall make her
way across the Atlantic to marine
rendezvous, which win be designa-
ted in sealed orders TO- prevent its
exposure to the slightest possible
danger from the enemg, and the
most that is known is that it will
be at some point off the Spanish
coast. 1t probably will not be long
after that before the American
squadron will be in full pursuit Of
Camara with his remnant Of the
Spanish navy. Meanwhile the gath
ering Of the American feet off the
Spanish ports is expected to have
a SOLDERING effect upon the inf1amed
people. The number of golfers ac-
companying the expedition. is evil
dence that long cruise lies ahead
and that our naval authorities pro-
pose TO be caught in no such posi-
ton as was Camara at Port Said
obliged to submit 40 refusal Of
coaling privileges. A telegram re-
ceived at the State department this
afternoon announced that Camara
was still lying with his squadron
at SueZ, the southern and eastern
entrance to the canal. The torpedo
boats Osada, Proserpina and Audaz,
which were yesterday reported at
Pharo. Portugal, arrived to-day at
Cadiz, their home port.
Admiral Dewey has been notified
of all these movements.
The very first care OF the off,
cials here will be for the wounded
men, who are TO be brought north

permit There was some idea OF

wounded to the very gates of the
city that they will gladly storm
again when ordered to do SO.
The Seventy-firsr New York
volunteers, near the rough riders,
was the next regiment to fall upon
Hobson and his men, and almost
Immediately the Ninth and Tenth
.avalry, both colored regiments,
joined in the general enthusiasm,
and cheer after cheer arose as Hob
son and his companions forced
their way through the lines of
white and colored soldiers.
Hobson, so far as possible,
grasped each hand extended toward
him, and neither he nor his men
made any protest against the most
uncomfortable crowding and jost-
ling which they had to undergo.
If the young officer, whose home
Is in Alabama, has any race pre-
judice, he certainly forgot all about
it as he passed through the line of
soldiers on his way to Gen. Wheel
er's headquarters. He saw it was
the uniform OF the United States
army and he cared not for the color
of its wearers, grasping the hands
of the ebony-hued troopers of the
Ninth and Tenth cavalry and ex-
pressing his thanks for patriotic
welcome with as much heartlness
as he displayed towards that of
his own race. He and all of his
men were completely overcome by
the reception accorded them and
tears rolled down their cheeks as
the soldiers crowded around them,
AS HobsoM and his party ap-
preached Captain Grimes battery
the men cried out on every side to
have AZ salute fired in their honor.
Hobson protested against this i'm
mediately and shouted to the ar
tillerymen who had also caught
the infection, not to fire their guns.
Some of the most enthusiastic of the
men appealed to Col. John Jacob
Aston and the latter entered into the
spirit of the occasion, and told the
men they need not obey HObson's
orders, as he was only lieuten-
ant. But the officers of the bat
terry prevented the men from firing
the guns, as the Spaniards might
have mistaken the reports for the
opening of an attack, and if the
latter had responded our soldiers
were in no position in their state
of disorder and enthusiasm for an
engagement.
Assistant Naval Constructor Hob
son finally reached Gen. Wheelers'
headquarters, where the veteran
cavslryman and other officers gave
him a warm welcome By this time
Captain Chadwick, of the New
York, and the naval escort from the
flagship, had reached Hobson and
his men, and they were the first
persons with whom the rescued
prisoners had any previous ac-
quaintance whom they had met
since they entered Santiago har-
Dor on their perilous mission. Cap
tain Chadwick and all the others
took each man by the hands and
extended the heartiest greeting.
The escort had brought change Of
clothing, including new uniforms
for Hobson and his men, and the
latter were given short respite
while they changed their apparel.
Hobson was also given a horse to
ride over the trail to Juragua and

government reservation, for the
purpose of a hospital, but 1t Is
said to be the present plan to sub
stitute a number of large tents,
which, when property pitched and
placed, are said to be hygienically
better than enclosed structures for
the treatment of wounds at this
season of the year.
Meanwhile, all Is being done in
the neighborhood of Santiago to
alleviate the suffering at Santiago
that conditions will permit. This
afternoon came telegram from
Gen. Shafter to the War Depart
ment as follows:
''In the name of tho sick and
wounded officers and men under my
command, thank Mr.. j. w. Mack
ey for the ice sent u.s."
Much of the difficulty experienced
in supplying the troops on the bat
tlefields still lies In the transport
tation department. Gen. Shafter
has reported that in spite of his
appeals he has received as get only
one lighter, the Laura, and this Is
able under the best conditions to
carry ashore supplies for only one
day for the army from the trans
ports lying far out at sea. What
might happen in the event OF bad
weather can be conjectured.
The necessary orders were given
during the day to start the Phila-
delphia for Hawaii, carrying Ad-
miral Miller with the notice OF the
action of the United States gov
eminent and direction to United
States Minister Sewell to take for
NAL possession In the name Of the
United States. The Philadelphia Is
selected because she Is the best
United States warship available
for the purpose on the Pacific coast.
The Hawaiian legation here has
taken steps meanwhile to get the
earliest news from Honolulu
through kilograms TO their consul
at San Francisco, who will dispatch
them on the Coptic to-day.
Major General Nelson A. Miles.
commanding the army, accompa-
MED by the entire staff of army
headquarters, left tonight for
Charleston, S. c., where the party
will embark for Santiago. They
left over the Southern railroad at
1913 p. m. The party consists OF
Gen. Miles, Gen. j. G. Gilmore,
adjutant general Of staff; Gen. Roy
Stone, Col. G. R. Greenleaf, sur
geon; Lieut. Colonies ]. w. Clous,
NJ. c. Maus and A. 8. Rowan;
Major John ID. Black and Captain
H. H. Whitney. AT the same time
Lieut. Col. Milchsr and a large staff
Of headquarters clerks who have
been In Tampa, will come north to
Charleston and join the party.
The start will be made from Char
lesion on the first steamer after
the general and his staff arrive.
This may be either the Yale or
Columbia, which are taking or
troops there. IL the troops are
ready to start before the party ar
rive they viii go on and the gen.
eral will follow on the Resolute or
one Of the other steamers to sail
after the Yale and Columbia. It is
expected that the party will be at
Santiago the early part OF next
