THE WEEK'S
CAMPAIGN m
EASTERN CUBA
Principal Results -Attained Was the Demolition
of Santiago's Outer Forts and Occupa
tion of Guantanamo Harbor.
OFF SANTIAGO, June 17. via Kingston, June 18.
The week's campaign in Eastern Cuba resulted in the prac
tical demolition of the outer fortifications of Santiago in an
ticipation of the arrival of troops and occupation of the fine
harbor of Guantanamo, in which today are anchored such
magnificent ships as the Oregon and St. Paul, together" with
the Marblehead, Dolphin, Suwanee and eleven other auxil
iary gunboats, colliers and press dispatch boats in an everage
of seventeen fathoms of water.
Military residence to definite occupation practically
ceased since the bombardment of Wednesday.
An intercepted official report of the Spanish military
commander indicates that his military resources are exhaust
ed. His soldiers are now on half rations. There are sup
plies only for the remainder of June. The commandant has
already seized all private drug supplies, in order that they
may be bestowed on the soldiers.
The insurgent forces armed and equipped by Captain
MeOalla not only proved daring scouts, but turn out to be
brave fighters and good shots with Lee-Metford rifles. Our
own men are warm in their praise and look for unexpected
ly strong co-operation on the part of the Cuban army.

A SIGNAL

Contu, of the Cuban army, haa arrived
at the Cuban junta here with dispatches
from General Gomez. He was accom

panion left Gomez in Las Vilas. The
general then had with him a body guard
of only sixty inon a cavalry escort.
There waa but little' food in the region
whero Gomez was mailing hia headquar
ters, so he did not mass any largo body
of men there, but had them spread over
u large territory und directed their move
ments from headquarters. He haa all
arrangements made for tlie concentra
tion of the troops when the proper timn
comes, but keeps them scattered and
employed in a guerilla warfare in the
meantime, so that they muyflnd food.
Tlie captain claims that Gomez cau
cuncentrate 40,000 armed men in a short
time at any desired point. There are
several thousand men who are attached
to Gomez1 army, and are only waiting
for arms to be available ior offensive or
defensive operations.
In a skirmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago, Gomez was wounded in
the ieft arm by a Mausaer bullet. The
wound healed quickly, however, in spite
of the general's advanced age, and wheu
the captain left headquara the old chief
whb able to use his arm as well as beforo
he was hit.
It is understood that a definite plan
for the co-operation of the troops under
Gowet! with the United States troops
when the time for co-operation arrives,
has been arranged between the general
and the war department at Washington.
Meantime Gomez will keep his forces
scattered,
Captain Coute says that from infor
mation received from Gomez spies, it I

lined with people, and as the vessels
entered the harbor the spectators yelled
themselves hoarse. Such a scene of en
thusiasm haB never been witnessed in

net received the officers of the expedi
tion. During tlie reception the steam
ers and grounds of tlie executive build
ing were thronged with people.

tained on the grounds of the executive
building. President Dole was on hand to
welcome them. The utmost freedom
prevailed, the affair being very informal.
To each man the chief executive gave a
word of welcome to Honolulu. An out
door luncheon was served by the ladies
of tin's city.
The transports left for Manila June 4.

waited for tlie fleet, consisting of tlie

the vessels traveled abreast most of the

Peking and Australia to slow up aud
wait for the City ot Sydney.
Eight cases of measles broke out on
the Australia. The sick men were sepa
rated from the other passengers on the
ship by being quartered on the hurri
cane deck, and the surgeons had the

arrived.
RASH ACT OF A
LOVESICK SOLDIER

Has Jilted Him The Assallaut
Taken to Jail.
Minneapolis, June 18. Emma Auck
land, a woman barber, was shot and
serioufcly wounded by John Knott, a
private in company D, Seventh Illinois
infantry. Knott fired three times at the
womnnand each shot struck her in the
hip. The murderous assault will not
prove fatal, although Knott admits that
he shot at her heart. The woman Is at
the hospital, while Knott is in jail.
The shooting had been planned, and
Knott traveled 1500 miles to accomplish
his purpose.
Miss Auckland ia employed at a bar
ber shop in this city. Knott arrived to
day from Camp Algei, whera his regi
ment is located. Calling at the barber
shop, he stepped up to Miss Auckland,
addressed her by name, and asked her
to shave him. She refused. They
talked for a few minutes, when sudden
ly Knott drew a revolver, and before
anyone could interfere ho fired three
times at the woman. Knott gave him
self up to the police.
Knott says he became engaged to the
girl in Chicago, but after he went to
Corap Alger alio wrote him a cruel letter
breaking the engagement. He said if
she died lie would soon follow her.

says that Private John Knott, company

ing him as a deserter, has been sent to

NEGRO MINERS
TO BE-IMPORTED
Colorado Coal Operators Determined to
Open the Mines.
Denver, June 18. The owners of the
coal mines in Northern Colorado, which
have been closed for the past two weeks
on account of a strike of miners, have
decided to pay off the men today.
A last appeal will be made to (the men
to accept the wages offered, and, if the
proposition is refused it is said negroes
will be imported to take the places of
the strikers. It is understood that ne-
groeB are favored because the miners'
union does not admit colored men to its
membership. It is thought that this
fact will prevent the strikers from in
ducing the new men to come out.
It is predicted that if the mineowners
bring negroB to take the places of the
Btriking miners, serious trouble will re
sult. The sheriff of Boulder county,
where most of the Fortberu coal mines
are located, has assured the mineowners
that he will use every effort to protect
their property in any event, but should
he fail a call on the governor would be
unavailing, as there are now no troops
in the sfate.
