here, as they feel that the warfare
now about to eliminate in bloody
fighting, will be at least mitigated by
those humane rules which govern the
action of modern armies In the field.
The other dispatches of Admiral
Sampson covered multitude of de-
tails which have been deferred in the
absence OF quick communication.
They made acquisitions for routine
supplies of every description and indi-
Gated needed repairs, mostly minor In
character, to the vessels of the fleet.
Not a word was said to any engage
ment by the troops under Gen. Shat
ter, and as the Admiral Is in close
communication with Gen. Shafter, ma
val officials regard this failure of the
Admiral to mention any action by the
troops as conclusive in showing no
action took place yesterday as was re-
ported by the Spanish.
During the forenoon dispatch came
to Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer,
from Lieut.. Col. Allen, who is in
charge of the Geographic communica-
ton with the army. 1t was dated at
Playa del Este and simply indicated
that he was making arrangements to
extend communication along the shore
as far as AQuederos, which is probably
about is miles farther to the westward
than Playa del Este. The dispatch
made no mention of any battle or 9TH
er change in the situation, military or
naval. From the fact that Col Allen
is working his line westward to Aqued-
eros, it Is evident to the military au-
thorities that the field OF land acton
will be stretched a considerable dis
lance along the shore, covering prob
ably from five to fifteen miles. This
will constitute the base of supplies.
where the stores will be kept, and with
which the advancing army at all times
will keep up its line of communication.
the first essential OF an advancing ar
my being considered to be that of
keeping up It's line of communication
with the base of supplies.

Quiring attention here, including
the preparations for further expe-
ditions which will go by way of
Newport News and Tampa, Fla.
Tampa is again to be made the
rendezvous for a large force and
the department is securing COM
plete details with view to center
ing another large fleet of trans
ports there. With the troops
moving to these points and the ex-
petitions well advanced, Gen.
Miles will then be free to join
the army in the field. Personally
he is most DESTROYS of being with
the troops, for, as he says to his
friends. he has been with the men
for thirty years, and his spirit is
with them now, although circum-
stances necessitates his remaining
here for a time. There is a posi-
bility that he may go with Gen.
Henry's division when the Har-
ward and Yale make their second
trip from Newport News, but
this is quite doubtful.

MADRID, June PA mt is an
nounced here from Cuba that yellow fever
has already attacked members of the
American expedition at Santiago.
Dispatches from the Spanish military
commander at Santiago deny that his
forces are inadequate. He says Gen. Lin
ares has twelve battalions of infantry
and several batteries of artillery, and he
adds that all the strategic positions
around the city are strongly occupied.
The Spaniards admit that during the
recent bombafdment by the American
fleet they lost one man killed and had
three men wounded. On the other hand
they claim the Spanish shells severely
damaged the Indiana's port side and they
say that three shells struck the Texas

Ths Justification tor W ar.

No one who knows the history Of
the Cuban question will doubt for a
moment the adequacy of the justifi-
cation for the hostilities now initiat-
ed by the United States. The mis-.
government of the Spaniards, the
barbarities of the unceasing civil
wars, the hopelessness of any per-
manent pacifcation in an island at
the very threshold of the liberty
loving New World, constitutes an
intolerable nuisance. Sooner or
later intervention was inevitable,
for no practical repentance could be
looked in people which had sacri-
feed one of the greatest colonial
empires known to history i'll its in
grained inability to abandon medi
aeval methods of government and
diplomacy. Hence the preservation
OF the peace has depended only on
/ the chance Of Spain acquiescing in
the American ultimatun, and that
all along has been known to be inn
possible. Spain has lost much, but
her armor proper is still on the scale
of her quondam empire, and no one
ever imagined that she would yield
all inch OF what remains without a
struggle. That she will fight now
bravely and tcnaciously, no one
questions. His gallantry will excite
further need of sympathy which
her patriotism and dignity in mis-
fortune have already widely engen-
dered. This sympathy, however,
is not incompatible with the convic-
tion that her ultimate failure will be
gain for humanity and progress.
In this country every voice is raised
to wish the United States success.
We heartily join Our own, but not
on account of any sense of kinship,
which really need not be invoked,
but for the practical end in view
the liberation of the sorely tried
Cubans and the establishment Of
peace i'll a corner of Gods earth,
which hitherto has known only
misgovernment and bloodshed.-

Three Men Fall to Terrible Death.
Falling Timbers Break Their Platform and
They Drop 500 Feet.

The Halstead mine of the Della.
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany at Duryea was the scene OF an
accident Thursday evening which cost
three men their lives. The names of
the victims are John Monohan,
Stephen jenkins, John Titus.
The three men were engaged in re-
pairing the lining of the shaft which
had been damaged by the cave-in last
week. About $50 some heavy tim
bers were beng lowered into the shaft
when the rope attached to them slipp-
ed off and the timbers struck the plat
form upon which the three workmen
were standing with great force, demol,
ishlng it and precipitating the men to
the bottom of the shaft, a distance of
800 feet. The bodies were horribly
mangled.

rapidly that they failed to take posses
sion OF the captured Federal ship.
The claim was made that the block
ade had been raised, but this was
soon proved to be baseless.
The last Confederate port of impor-
tance to be captured was Wilmington,
N. C., which was defended by Fort
Fisher, at the mouth of Cape Fear
River, and which was taken January
18th, 1865. The men on blockad-
ing fleet have no easy time of it, as
they are compelled to be continually
on the alert to resent attacks by the
enemy's war vessels, and to detect
attempts by their merchant ones to
run the blockade. The blockading
fleet is necessarily some distance out
in the ocean, and is liable to be driven
off its station by storms. When this
occurs there is great opportunity for
the enemy's vessels in port to escape,
and for such as may be able to make
the port from the outside to get in.
When blockade is declared, it must
be with sufficient force, otherwise
neutral vessels are at liberty to pass
in and out of the blockaded port.
After the blockade is established 1t
must also be we'll maintained, and
this it is often difficult to accomplish
by reason of storms and the attacks
of the enemy's fleet.

CnILKOOT PASS HORRORS.
Poor Creatures Who Have Given Up Hope
Lying Upon the Disso.ving Snow.

Horace Mangold, leader of band
of Englishman who Il few weeks ago
passed through Ottawa on their way
to the Klondike, is back again. When
he reached Vancouver he heard sinis-
ter rumors as to the state of Chilkoot
pass, and, not willing that his men
with their supplies should be met with
serious obstacles, he proceeded in adj
vance accompanied by two Indians
as porters) to test the actual condi-
tions. He found the pass SO bad that
he is returning to England with the
intention of coming back to proceed
when the Stikine is open.
"The horrors of the trail will never
be adequately portrayed" was Mr..
Mangolo's comment. "There is in
reality no trail. 1t is a fearful wind

remains of thousands of horses, the
debris of outfits and camps into which
you sink up to the waist. l saw poor
wretches thrust aside by the score by
the desperate procession which, what
ever happens, will never stop. And
those who actually pass the summit,
what horrors await them on the other
side
"As l made my way along l saw
strong men crying like children.
They had lost their horses they had
started out with insufficient food !;
they were in hunger and wretched-
ness; they had been thrust aside by
the desperate creatures behind, who
showed no mercy, but were bound to
push on regardless of the sufferings
they inflicted upon those who were
too weak to keep up. That was the
callousness ofit-that those who from
fatigue, from hunger, from utter ex-
haustion through carrying their own
packs, stumbled, were pushed or kick
ed out of the way, and you passed on,
brushing by poor creatures who had
given up all hope and who were lying
out upon the dissolving snow, utterly
Indifferent to their fate.
Two things have contributed TO the
misery which | saw. First, the
weather, which was so mild as to
make the pass simply deep creek
filled with snow broth, and second,
the imperfect outfits of hundreds of
men, who, after they reached Vancou-
yer had no more notion of where they
were going or how they were to go
than they had of flying"
Mr.. Mangold says that he found
among the Canadians an objection to
the introduction of the English.
"This was unaccountable to me,
but there is no doubt that it exists
