The American Flag Flowing From the
Summit of the Altares.

On board the dispatch boat Daunt-
less, off Baiquiri, Thursday, June 20,
via Kingston, Jamaica, June 24-10 a.
m.-Late yesterday afternoon the
American flag was flowing from the top
of Altares mountains, back of Baiquiri.
The men cheered and waved their hats,
the warships and transports let loose
their sirens and the bands played the
"Star Spangled Banner" Major La
mote, with two men Of the volunteer
cavalry, climbed the heights and raised
the flag. The Spanish American iron
works which were destroyed before the
troops landed yesterday belonged to
the Steelton company, near Baltimore,
Md.
The Cubans under General Castillo,
who entered Baiquiri after the Span
iards had deserted the town, wore lit
tie more clothing than rags, many of
them being two-thirds naked. Some
had no trousers and only tattered

barefooted. They were mostly negroes,
some being boys of only fifteen years
of age. The guns they carried were of
many models, ranging from flint locks
to Mausers and Remingtons. All, how
ever, were armed with machetes. The
officers rode donkeys and scrub horses.
The sun was blazing hot and a number
of the soldiers were Frustrated by the
intense heat and were taken on board
the hospital ship.
The troops are in fine spirits and are
overjoyed at the aggressive attitude
assumed by General Shafter, who be-
lieves that he can force his way into
Santiago de Cuba and strike the Span
ish guns a heavy blow. The celerity
of the forward movement of the United
States army has embarrassed the quar-
ternaster's department General Law
ton sent back an urgent request for
more rations. The mules and stores
are already ashore, but some of the
trappings are still on board ship and
will be taken off during the night. Col
onel Humphreys says that he will have
a pack train loaded and on it's way by
daylight tomorrow. 1t should reach
Jarugua before night. An attempt to
send supplies to Jarugua this afternoon
in boats failed.

Threatening Political Situation.
London June 25.--All the dispatches
from Madrid reflect the anxiety pro-
duced by Admiral Cervera's dispatch
and the threatening aspect Of the politi-.
cal situation. The newspapers are irri-
tated at the prospect that restrictions
will be placed upon their criticisms
now the cortes is closed. The Madrid
correspondent of the Standard, COM
menting upon the scenes in the cortes
says: Everybody observed the silence
of the Carlist senators and deputies
during the stormy sittings Friday.
Their leaders it appears, had instruct

Sioux City, Ia, June 24-A severe
wind storm struck this city tonight.
blowing down the exhibition tent Of the
Sells -Forepaugh circus while per-
formance was in progress. The col
lapse of the canvas caused a panic, TN
which score or more Of people were
injured. One OF them, Adolph Halver-
son of Sioux City, died soon afterward
Of his injuries; Frank Reynolds, an at
tache, is hurt internally and will prob
ably die. The day was hot and sultry
and the evening threatening, but
crowds of country people had come toA
town and they, with the natives made
up crowd that almost filled the tents
for the evening performance. AT about
8 O'Clock the hot wind which had been
blowing all afternoon freshoned and
within few minutes a deluge Of rain
fell upon the hundreds Of pleasure seek
ers pelting through the canvas shelter
and drenching them. This had lasted
but few minutes when the great CEN
ter pole began to sway and guy ropes
to creak from the pressure Of the wind,
which had become q gale Fright took
possession Of the crowd and wild
scramble for exits began. Scores Of the
employees of the circus attempted to call
the panic stricken people back and to-
prevent their headlong break for the
open air. Many were trampled under
foot or bruised by failing timbers as
the structure collapsed. The employees
of the show did heroic work In rescuing
women and children from the fallen
tents. Four hundred and Afty men
wer put to work on the circu property,
which was damaged TO the extent Of
$4,000. Most Of the animals in the
menageries had been taken from the
tents to the cars before the storm
struck. No other damage by the storm

WILL ATTACK SPANISH COAST
COUNTER MOVE BY AMERICANS IF
CAMARA SAILS EAST.
1t is Announced on Good Authority i'm
Washington That Before the Last
Spanish Vessel Passes Through suez
Canal for the Philippines an American
Squadron Will be Steaming Mt Full
Speed Across the Atlantic.

Squadron VIII be steaming MT Full
Speed Across the Atlantic.
Washington, June 24.-The war is to
be carried into Africa, metaphorlcally
speaking, if Spain is foolhardy enough
to send the Cadiz fleet through the
Suez canal to attack Dewey in the Phil
ippines. 1t is announced on good au-
thority that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the Suez
canal an American squadron will be
steaming at full speed across the At
lantic straight for the coast of Spain
to bring the war home to the Spanish
people. There is no doubt Dewey can
take care of himself against this Cadiz
fleet since his own squadron will be
reinforced by iron-clads long before
Camara's S ships sight the bay of Manila
and will have the shore batteries with
him instead of against him in the
struggle. But it has been concluded by
the administration that nothing save
the most severe measures will suffice
to bring the Spanish people to a reali-
zing sense of the hopelessness of the
continuance of the present war and
even kindness, it is held, will dictate
such blow as that 1t is proposed to
administer if the Spanish persist in this
last project
capture or destruction of Cervera's s
squadron, Sampson will have an abun-
dance of vessels to spare for the task
set him. Probably he will constitute
the attacking fleet in two squadrons,
the first a flying squadron to be COM
posed of the swiftest vessels of the
fleet, such an the Columbia Minneapo-
lis, Harvard, Yale, st. Louis st. Paul,
New Orleans and such craft. This will
be followed, under another commander,
either Sampson or Schley, by the bat
tleships, which Captain Clark's exper-
ience with the Oregon has shown can
easily be counted on for the voyage
across the Atlantic. With the Iowa,
Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Texas, all battleships, -supplementing
the New York and Brooklyn, armored
cruisers, and the less powerful, but
speedy vessels Of the flying squadron,
the Spanish coast would be speedily
swept clear Of all commerce, all Span
ish shipping would be destroyed and
some of the best ports blockaded or
bombarded.
