Washington, D. c., July 1.-(Spe-
cial.)-General Skaters dispatch stat
ing that action began at Santiago this
morning caused great excitement in
the war department. The belief is that
Shafter will take the city within forty
eight hours, as he stated he could do
in a telegram Wednesday. Some off
GERS believe that the Spaniards are
probably being shelled by the heavy ar
tillery and will evacuate the city al
most Immediately and fall back upon
the achievements that are slowly
coming forward and that Shafter will
follow them up. the result being a great
land battle. There is no one that is
ION fully convinced that the American
troops will celebrate the Fourth of Ju-
ly in Santiago. While nothing has
been received by the navy department,
the opinion is that Sampson is cooper
ating in the attack and is now bonn
harding the batteries at the entrance
of the harbor.

He Will Not Be Allowed to Coal in
Egyptian Waters.

New York. June 30.-A cable to the
Herald from Port Said says:
The steamer Isla de Luzon laden
with coal has joined Admiral Camara's
fleet in this harbor. The San Ignacio
de LoyOla, also laden with coal for the
Spanish squadron, arrived at s o'clock
this lThursday) evening.
The warships have been coaling from
their own Golfers with their own
crews, but the Egyptian government
has now forbidden the further tran
shipment Of coal in this harbor.
So far only torpedo boat d~estroyers
have been supplied with coal from the
transports. The governor of Port Said
has also received instructions from
Carlo to request Admiral Camara t o
withdraw mis- feet from here as soon
as possible.
Carlo, June go The following Off
cial announcement was made this
afternoon:
The Spanish ships at Port Said be

tian government notified them that
they could not allow this and THAT it
must stop forthwith and that they must
also leave Port Said, as the twenty-four
hour limit has been greatly exceeded.
The Spaniards then stated hat their
ships wanted repairs and began dis

Hard Luck.

ports received here from Havana say
that "a column of American troops.

AN FIGHT.
President Mckinley Said to Have
Heard of a Battle at Santiago.

New York. June 3O.-The Journal
prints what purpOrts to be the meagre
details Of a battle at Santiago received
tonight by President Mckinley and
given to the Journal by an eminent
statesman, who had spent the evening
with the president"
1t goes on to say:
Today about noon Gen. Shafter got
into an excellent position. His picket
lines were within a stones throw of
the picket lines of the Spaniards. The
artillery was pushed 70 the front as
nOiselessly as twenty painting men for
each piece could perform such an op-

the east and northeast of Santiago.

north and west. Despite the utmost
precautions in the matter of silence

of the Americans to push their guns lit

A Spanish sentry ave the alarm.
Apparently he caught sight of a cluster
Of Americans wheeling a piece of light
artillery into place. The Spanish SOL
der uttered a cry, fired his piece into
the air. rushed back TO his companions
with the startling news and the fight
began. The Americans We're at a dis
advantage because of their position

better standpoint from which to fight.

BILL LAID OVER.
No Change in War Revenue at This
Session.

Washington, June 30.-The su5-oom-
miutee of the senate committee having
in charge the supplemental war reve-
nue. bill today, decided to postpone ac>
ton until the next session. This decis-
ion was reached at a meeting of the
Subcommittee held today. Some of the
members advocated immediate action
upon the bill, but a majority held it
would be wiser to postpone the report
long enough to furnish an opportunity
to make a test of the law as it now
stands. In the meantime the commits
tee will continue its Investigations dur
ing the recess, and, it rs believed, VIII
be able to cover the ground more CONF
~prehensively than would be Possible at
this time.
The bill dealing with the period of
liquor storage, extending the outage

PLENTY OF COAL.
Our Consul at Port Said Makes a Pur-
chase.

Washington. June 30.-Whilc not
abating its close watch yer the Cadiz
fleet. the navy department does not
feel the same degree of apprehension
ships as it did when the start was made
for Port Said. The government has
done everything possible within fair
lines to prevent this fleet from reach
ing the Philippines. and the agents of
the state department have been par
~ticularly successful in this work. I'm
tied States Consular Agent Broahbcnt
has just made a master stroke which he
reports 10 the department. While the
Spanish ships were seeking permission
Of the Egyptian government to take
| coal at Port Said, the consular officer
succeeded in quietly buying up all the
coal available at this place. This
amounted to 10000 tons. and it is in a
good place to be shipped to Dewey; to
serve as a base of supplies for Commo-
dore WatsOn's Eastern squadron when
it enters the Mediterranean SCI Or to
| coal any American vessels that may
pass through uhe Suez canal bound to
the Asiatic station, if it should be per-
Missile for warships to take on coal
at Port Said.
The news that reached the depart
ment through the press reports that
Admiral Camara is about to leave his
| torpedo boat d~estroyers at Port Said
because they would be unable to wealth
err the monsoons that rage in the Indian
ocean at this season, is believed at the
navy department to presage the disso-
LUTON of the squadron and the aban-
Comment of the cruise to the Philip
pines. AS these torpedo BOAT destroy
ers have proved their ability to cross
the Atlantic in rough weather, it is con-
jectured that the real reason for turn
ing them back is Il that is almost
chronic in the Spanish navy, namely, 4
breakdown in the delicate machinery
of the war craft. Leaving out the three
| torpedo boat d~eStroyers, there is very
little left in the squadron OF an often
sive character, aside from the battle
ship Pelayo and the cruiser Carlos V,
At any rate, the dropping of the des-
troyers will weaken Camara's squadron
so materially as to make his defeat by
Dewey a f~oregone conclusion if they
should come together

IT WAS \ SPANISH LIE.
Story of the Sinking Of the Cruiser
Brooklyn.

Washington, June 30.-No word has
come to the navy department form Ad-
milal Sampson making the slightest
reference to The Spanish story OF the
sinking of the Brooklyn by a shell from
the Santiago harbor defeuses. As Ad-
miral Sampson is within an hour or
two's reach of the cable station, and
his orders would require him to report
instantly on any such occurrence, the
officials OF the navy department have
no hesita zion in denouncins the story
as a fabrication similar to that gotten
out a week ago frCm Madrid describing
the killing OF Captain Evans.
The reports received at the navy de-
partment of the collision between the
Dolphin and the Newark are meager,
but indicate that it took place near Key
West. The Dolphin smashed her stem,
filing the forward compartment back
to the collision bulkhead She is now
on her way to Norfolk to be locked, and
it is expected that three weeks will be
consumed in making repairs.

Washington, d. c., July 1.-(Special.)
The operations of the American forces
are to be directed more strongly against
the Moro Notifications. The Vesuvius
is Smelling the forts and the troops are
operating aginst it from the rear. With
Moro fallen and the mines removed,
Sampson may enter the harbor and at
tack the Spanish fleet. With the fleet
out of the way the Spanish forces will
be between two fires and voctory will
be easy.
