TROUBLE WITH CORRESPONDENTS
General Shafter Reports That He
Has Been Obliged To DcpOrt
n New.

Washington, July PIN his report TO the
war department relative 10 conditions In
Santiago, Cen. Shaftcr has thrown some
light upor The difficulties In which GER
tain OF the newspaper correspondents
there have Involved themselves. From his
report IL would appear that animated by
an ambition TO take a prominent part in
the important events following each other
in rapid succession at Santiago, after the
initiation OF the conditions for the sur
render, n few Cf the correspondents were
guilty Of grave breaches OF military law
nccessitating prompt corrective action by
Gen. Shafter. Thus. for instance, one cor
respondent In his efforts 20 take part In
the Dag raising over the city hall resisted
the military officers in the execution Of
their duty and even attempted a personal
assault upon the commanding general.
This made him subject To summary and
severe punishment, even death, yet Gen.
Shafter, probably realizing that ignorance
OF military law was the explanation Of
the action, ~contented himself with expell-
ing the correspondent from Cuba.
A more serious ~offensc, from the fact
tina 1t might easily have led to rioting
and loss OF life, was that Of three other
correspondents, who, IL appears from Gen.
Skaters report, by circulating mfnm-
matory posters, stirred Up the town. They
were likewise deported and as evidence
tina he has no Ill feeling toward the pa
pers represented by them, but designs only
to exercise such control as is imper1tiveIy
demanded I'm the interest Of the safety of
our troops and the protection Of the people
under his care Gen. Shafter has declared
that these correspondents may be immc-
dlatcly replaced by others from the same
newspapers, who will observe the rule Of
prudence. No mention is made of II
other cases requiring attention.

DEFEATED BIDDERS WILL FIGHT
An Attempt to BE Made TO Invali-
dntc the Contract with the
Spanish Company.

New York, July 25.-The World
says: A lawyer has been retained by
the steamship companies who were
unsuccessful bidders for transporting
22,O0O captured Spanish prisoners
from Santiago to Spain and will begin
action today to have the contract made
by the government with the Com
pagnia Trans-Atlantique Espano set
aside. The ground taken is that the
successful bidder is II licensed corpor-
alton of Il nation with whom we are At
war, and that according to the meas
ure passed by the Spanish cortes one
half of the receipts of every corpora
ton doing business under the Spanish
government must be surrendered ia
the government to help defray the eN'
pcnscs of the war. by letting the
contract to the Spanish corporation
the United States indirectly pays into
the Spanish treasury an mount equal
to one-half Of the contract stipulation.
Also that the government thereby re-
leases from blockade all the cnemy'S
vessels to be used i'm transportation

TO HAVE A MODERN ARM.
A Division OF the Army Going "a
Puerto Rico to Have Krag-
InpUpnSpu Gums,

New York, July 25.-A Times Wash
ington special says: At least twenty
thousand volunteers who go Puerto
Rico are to be supplied with the krag'
Jorgensen magazine rifles used by the
regular army. This announcement
was made by the ordnance department
and came as a surprise, the undcrt
standing having been that the supply
of improved guns would not permit oil
their being served out to the volunteer
troops for some months to come. The
ordnance department was content To
let that impression prevail so long az
it was not prepared to ~controvert II
with evidence in the shape of the arms
themselves, but in the meanwhile had
been straining every enegy TO acc.umu'
late a stock of the rifles in order to be-
gin their issue generally as soon as
possible.
For the Puerto Rico expedition,
which will he made up chiefly of vol
unteers, most of the regiments are now
equipped with the Springfield 45-cali-
Der arm, but the department proposes
to supply one entire corps of about 20
600 men with Krag-Jorgensen rifles,
Il may not be able TO deliver all of
these guns to the men before they sail,
but they will follow them to the island
rs rapidly as possible. just what reg
;ments will receive the new arms will
depend upon General Miles, TO whom
they will be sent for distribution.
