CONCESSIONS TO ENGLAND.
Lord Salisbury Confirmed the Granting
of Them by China.

Lord Salisbury Confirmed the Granting
of Them by China.
LONDON, June 14.-In the house of
lords yesterday the Marquis of Sails
bury, replying to the Earl of Camper
down, Liberal, confirmed the reports of
the concessions granted to Great Brit
ain in the vicinity of Hongkong, which,
he said. in addition to giving a slight
extension to the colony, also secured
stragetical surroundings which SO far
commanded Hongkong that, without
them, in case of war, Great Britain
would have been put to certain disad-
vantages.
These considerations, the premier
further pointed out, had become more
imperative ia consequence of the events
of the last few years. He could not
say that any immediate danger was ap-
pretended. In fact the concessiesis had
been demanded for long time, but
recent events made the Chinese
government more sensible to the posi-
bility of unexpected occurrences and
they quite understand and appreciate
the solicitude displayed for the main
tenance of peace and the commercial
interests of Great Britain, which are
those of the whole world"

insurgents. helnforcemenrs were sent
from our ships, but it does not appear
in the reports that the marines had
help from the men best calculated from
their experience in jungle fighting to
be of service in an encounter with
Spanish guerrillas.
Without any Encouragement to the
fighting ability of the marines, who APP
pear to have acquitted themselves with
the greatest credit so far as concern
their bravery and steadiness under fire,
the question has been raiseds in the
minds of the military experts whether,
failing in any substantial assistance
from the Cubans who were reported to
have been SO numerous in the vicinity,
western soldiers trained in Indian fight
ing would not be of more service in a
Caban jungle campaign.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-An inn
portant order issued from army head
quarters was one notifying Major Gen
eral Otis yesterday that the steamers to
comprise the second fleet of transports
to go to the Philippines were practically
ready for the reception of troops.
Troops to the number of about 1000,
comprising the Tenth Pennsylvania,

RADIO, under Colonel Hale; the First Ne
braska, under Colonel Bratt; two bat
talions of regulars from the Eighteenth
and Twenty third infantry, under Colo

gineer corps and the two battalions of
Utah light infantry, began to raze
their camps, load their tents and bag
gage into wagons, don their marching
gear and form into columns for the
march to the waiting transports.
A stream of wagons was conveying
camp eqippage and baggage to the diff
erent steamers yesterday and this work
will be completed today.
a local paper said yesterday:
"The men in the Montana regiment
are complaining of the food served
them. Today the soldiers of Company
B of Butte went out ON strike and re-
fused to drill under the present condi-
tons.
'sThis morning the regiment assem-
bled at the camp III order to march out
to.Sutro baths. When the officers of Com
pany B called ON their men to fall in
they declined, one of their number
stating their reasons for the action
Colonel Kessler was sent for and he adj
dressed the men, calling their attention
to the serious proposition of obeying or
ders. One of the men told Colonel
Kessler that Company B did not wish
to disobey orders, but the men were
hungry and could not drill on the food
they were receiving. While Colonel
Kessler was speaking one of the men
tainted before him and was later re-
moved to tent
"After Colonel Kessler concluded
speaking, the captain asked how many
men were willing to drill and only a
sergeant, corporal and three privates
stepped forward. The company was
dismissed and the regiment proceeded
to the baths.
s'All the men of Company B COM
planned about the food They say they
are given bad bacon and poor vegetables
and that the fresh meat they get con-
sists principally of bones. These state
ments made by the men were supported
by the company cook, who exhibited a
piece of pork as evidence"

UNDER SHIPS PROTECTION.
The Marines at Guantanamo Bay Change
Their Camp-Another Description
of the Fight.

UNITED STATES CAMP, ENTRANCE
OF GUANTANAMO BAY, Sunday, via
Kingston, June 14.-It was decided by
Colonel Huntington of the First battal-
ion of marines this morning to abandon
the position first occupied as camp,
as there were no signs of reinforce
ments of troops and it was known that
a force of Spaniards six times more
numerous than the marine battalion
was in the vicinity. Therefore the crest
of the hill which the troops held last
night was given up to batteries and
rifle pits and the tents were pitched on
the side of the hill near the harbor
which is protected by the warships.
The Spanish are believed to have lost
heavily.
The Americans killed in the fighting
after midnight Saturday night were:
Surgeon ]. P. Gibbs of New York
city, Sergeant Smith of Company d,
Private McCallgan Of Company d and
Private Dunnrishy of Company D. The
wounded were: Private MCGOWAN of
Company d, hand shattered, AID the
pilot on the United States cruiser
Marblehead. shot through the leg.
The firing began after midnight and
lasted until daybreak. AT times there
was heavy fusillade on both Sides
LieutenantsN eville and Shaw of com
pany d, with 30 men, were on picket
duty all night and were attacked by a
heavy force of Spaniards. All the men
killed were in this detachment, except
DR.. Gibbs, who was shot wilhelm camp.
The pickets held the Spaniardj off
until released this morning
Reinforcements were landed from the
Texas and Marblehead this morning
They consisted of go men and two
rapidfire guns. The men are suffering
greatly from heat and thirst, but they
are behaving splendidly in and out Of
fire.
After McCallgan and Dunnrishy
were killed their heads were shock
ingly mutilated with machetes
Late this morning the Spaniards
opened fire from two guns placed on the
west side of the harbor. The shots flew
wild. The Texas, Yankee and torpedo
boat Porter, which were lying in the
harbor, opened fire and in a short time
silenced the Spanish guns. The latter
fired only once after the ships opened
fire on them. There We're no casualties
on the American side.
To the great delight of marines in
camp, Lleutenants Neville and Shaw,
with 80 men of Company D, returned
in good shape but much exhausted by
IS hours of picket duty One man, Ser
geant Smith of Company K, had been
shot through the abdomen and instantly
killed. During most of the day and
night Lieutenants Neville and Shaw
had been surrounded by much su-
perior force, but men and officers be-
haved splendidly, although the firing of
the Spaniards was constant and heavy,
Lieutenant Neville's detachment held
it's own, inficting much more damage
than it sustained. At least five Span
iards are known to have been killed.
and as Lieutenant Neville's men kept
up a steady fire throughout the night
and the enemy was not at great dis
lance, it is believed that the Spanish
casualties were heavy.
