FRIDAY, JULY /. 1898.
The Battle Is On.

A brief dispatch this morning from
General Shafter to the War Depart
ment advises that the action in front
of Santiago has been begun by an ad-
vance of General Lawton's brigade
from Ell Caney. Up to the time the news
was sent the firing had been light. The
general promised to send information
of events of the movement as they de-
veloped. 1t may be assumed that the
whole line will have been engaged by
this time, as an attack on the Spanish
defenses across the San Juan River in
front of General Wheeler's position at
Sevilla had been planned for this after
noon, and has probably been started
earlier. simultaneously, General Gar
cia, no doubt, would deliver an assault
from the north northwest.
General Shafter has disposed his
forces in such a manner as not only to
defeat, but to capture, the troops of
Linares. The latter's intention has
been to make as good a fight as posi-
BILE, and then to effect sortie, either in
the direction of ManZanillo to join Pan
Ssdo or toward Holguin to meet Luque
This design our commander has been at
pains to render abortive. and it is be-
lieved that he has succeeded in invest
ing the place in such a manner that
the Spaniards will have to surrender
as prisoners of war or invite annihila-
ton at our hands.
While the battle is in progress, we
may expect that news will be as inter-
esting as it is likely to be brief. Our
generals will be too busy to send any
thing but the shortest bulletins. but
the chances are that they will be full
of meat

Hawaiian Un,viIIinspcss.

| For an unfortunate race of natives
who are unwilling" and who ar. be-
ing dragged into the hideous net Of
| American Imperialism by the hair. 81
ii may be the wool, of their heads, the
Hawaiians are acting with strange in
consistency. Mr.. Pettigrew who, last
| Summer, Went over to the islands in the
hope and expectation of being convinc-
ed. assures us that the aboriginal popU
| lation does not want and, on the con-
| trary, abhors, condemns and despises
| annexation. Yet the same inhabitants
to whom he so feelingly refers, turn
out and yell themselves hoarse with
delight when a steamer comes into the
harbor of Honolulu signaling that the
House has passed the Newlands resolu-
ton.
To our mind this shows that there
has been a mistaken conception of fact
around loose somewhere. and that Pet
tigrew found. captured and made it
his own. Otherwise we do not see
how he could explain the discrepancy
between what he says the Hawaiians
do not want, and what they declare
they do.
The fight against annexation has so
completely petered out that it is hardly
worth further comment. The intellect
ual part of it has narrowed until it has
settled down to dependence upon the
argument from the Devils Lake star
route, that really now. we should never
think of such thing, because Hawaii
is volcanic and might sink some night!
Caffery is out of wind, while Allen is
charged with the gas which we believe
results from the decomposition of the
sugar beet. He probably will get rid
of some or most of it for the benefit of
the Congressional Record. In one way
or another the Tories are expected to
waste three or four days more of pre-
cious time.
Even at the worst the vote will be
forced some time next week and as like
ly as not the Sugar senators will dis
creetly absent themselves. They start
ed in on the campaign with a great
flourish of trumpets and Oxnard. The
bueles blew and Oxnard ratified the
golden pieces in his breeches pockets
1t was encouraging music, and brought
out all the beasts of the jungle. Lii
ons, tigers. wolves, bears. hippopotami
and crocodiles 'roared, yowled and wept
in chorus at the enormity of Hawaiian
annexation. To speak in parable,
they have returned to their native lairs
behind there little quart-pot desks
and the only thing they have left much
in evidence is one small, tough -crusted
Roach, skurrying around the floor in
fear of earthquakes.

Pando's Troops to Swell the
Starving Army in Santiago.
REPORTS FROM CUBAN SCOUTS
General Shafter Views With AbsO-
lutte EqU1nimity the March of
ital of Santiago PrOvince-The
Barbed-Wire Fences RidicuIed.

In Camp near Santiago, June 3O.-Late
| Information is conclusive upon the point
| that Pando has determined to accept ev-
cry risk in order to re-enforce Linares in
| the suffering town of Santiago.
Cuban scouts who have been active in
| watching the movements of the enemy
yesterday reported this fact to General
Shafter, who is watching events at this
point. only miles distant from the
strongest position the Spaniards have in
the east, and appeared very much per-
turbed at the indications that were pre-
sented of a heavy advance of re-enforce-
| ments from Manzanillo.
Pando's army of reinforcement had
line of Linares' forces when the Cubans
who were intrusted to watch and report
every movement of the Spaniards sug-
gested to General Shafter to send out an
interrupting force.
Their suggestions were, however. not
in accordance with the views of the
American commander. In fact, it seems
that he is In no way averse to allowing
another army into the limits of Santiago
ready starving the besieged capital.
The Cubans were astounded to learn
that the Americans were not in the least
disturbed by an addition of from 5000 to
5000 men to the already wretched pha-
lanxes that are behind the trenches and
barbed wire fences built in the forlorn
hope of repressing the advance of the
Americans.
An advance. unless a council of prom
inent officers, both Cuban and American.
decides upon a brief delay. will begin to-
day or Saturday. At least. that was the
understanding yesterday. But when the
order forward. march, is given it will
be dominated by clear-headed reason
ing and cool deliberation.
As 1t appears at this moment, the Gu
bans will be in the van. The importance
of this is easily understood when their
knowledge of the country paths and the
Spanish guerrilla methods is taken into
consideration. The movement will strike
out from Siboney. and while Garcia will
command the entire Cuban division, the
advance guard will be under Col. Agui-
erre.
Cuban scouts are very active. The
best information they have impaired
within twenty-four hours is that such a
condition of starvation exists in Santi-
ago that lis capitulation may be expect
ed at any day.
Pando's reinforcing army is likely to
reach the city in a more direful state Of
hunger than the now practically besieg-
ed Santiago is.
This. to some degree, explains the sat
isfactfo of Gen. Shafter over the re-

LACK OF TRANSPORTS.
The Same Old Trouble with the
Manila ExpeditiOns.

San Francisco. July 1.-Preparations for
the next expedition to Manila are almost
completed The troops at Camp Merritt
are equipped and are drilling five hours
day. COmmissary stores for another ex-
pedition could be obtained and put aboard
the vessels within a short time. The
real cause of delay is the lack of charter
ed vessels and the necessity of refitting
passenger steamers before they can be
made to serve as transport ships.
Camp Merritt still contains more than
II, 0o0 men. and to transport such an arm-
to Manila twelve or fifteen vessels wilt
be needed. The Pueblo and Peru have
been secured and carpenters will begin
work on them at once. Another vessel
whose name is not made public will be
chartered by the Government very soon.
1t is not probable that all the troops re-
manning here will be sent away in one
immense fleet. Detachments of three or
four vessels will sail at intervals when
ever they may be ready.

There is no news of any of the mis-

Unknown to Spain.

From the Philadelphia Times.)
The American idea of war, as deplorabc
condition that is TO be got through with as
soon as possible, for the sake Of establishing
peace and order, is a novelty in the Spanish
American colonies, and the business-like dete. mi
nation and the unfalterne devotion of our
American soldiers must come as an astounding
revelation TO those accustomed to regard few
hours buslwhacking from time to time as the
sufficient occupation of a soldier.

very weak invention of the enemy.

The Republican party in Maryland has
expressed its opinion of its misrepresen-
tative in the Senate. Wellington has been
beaten in an attempt to control the chair
manship of the Republican State Com
mittee. The fierce enthusiasm with which
that creature courts unpopularity and
condemnation in the commonwealth OF
which he is the shame is very suggestive
of the idea that it must pay in some way.

The conference committee on fusion was
unable to agree, and apparently all hope
of fusion is gone, The proposition of the
democrats was first that two retiring
Judges of the supreme court be renomin-

that the nomination for clerk of the SUI
