arations have been proceeding vigor
ously for some days, but the rigid cen
sorship at Tampa prevented a word go

-Corporal Huoht, Seventh Infantry,
who with seven men was font out
seven mile from Santiago was found
by General Shafter Thursday afternoon
and sent into camp. The party had
repeatedly seen the Spaniards, who did
not offer to molest them, and the

a plonlc in the woods. The corporal
said that if he had had with him a
sufficient force he could have brought
in 40 Spanish prisoners.
The camp conditions near Santiago
continue hard. Heavy rains set every
thing afloat. Rations, however, tare
being served out regularly, but they
ate still not plentiful. Oftloera and
men fare alike. The latter are suffer
ing during the cold nights from lack ot
blankets thrown away on the march.
Those have been appropriated by the
Cubans, who take everything in sight,
and do as little as possible. On the
whole, they actually fare better than
our men.

Spanish ships were seeking permission
of the Egyptian government to take

Amerlran Troopa Have Not Yet ReachrA
Manila.
Washington. July 2. --While not pro
lix in his , utterances Admiral Dewey
loses no opportunity to keep the navy
department informed of the state of
affairs at Manila. A dispatch came
from him today dated Caivte, June 27,
reporting that conditions are practical
ly unchanged, making no mention of
the arrival of reinforcements. He bad
some other matters of Interest, but
they were not of a character that could
properly be made public at this stag..
For one thing it can be stated that
Admiral Dewey has been paiticolar to
avoid committing his government to
any particular line of action respecting
the future of the Philippines or to do
anything that would embarrass General
Merritt in framing a policy to meet
the needs of the case when he arrives.
He hail made no official pledges to the
insurgent leader, although lie has not
hesitated to openly praise his good pol
itic and his accomplishments.
. Split In Inauraent Rank.
" Hong Kong, July 3. According to
letter from Cavite dated June 29, the
insurgents ocoupy the whole of Bulu
can province, occasional skirmishes 00
cmring. The insurgent captured tt e Spanish
ship Behul in Kayabo bay while she
was landing 600 troop. A stubborn
fight occurred, in which the Spanish
commander, a lieutenant-colonel, was
killed.
The insurgents have captured the
governor of Bulucan, together with his
wife and children.
Aguinaldo placed under arrest th.
rebel leader Artachio and Sandico for
having revealed the fact that the
steamer Pasig, recently seized by the
Hong Kong authorities, was laden with
arms for the insurgents. Sandico ap
pealed to Consul Williams, and was
liberated. He is now on board the
Nanshan. It I feared that the inci
dent will cause a split in the insurgent
party, Sandico being influential and
the only insurgent leader capable of
administration. The insurgents fear
that Aguinaldo will shoot Artachio un
less Admiral Dewey interferes, as he
suspects that Sandico intended to form
an opposition party.

will be held tomorrow to further con
sider plans of co operation of the two
armies.
Garoia's plan is to march his entire
army overland along the northern
coast, keeping in touch with the Amer
ican army. As soon as possible Garcia

Shafter himself cannot say. The troop
can be moved without serious delay,
and are pushing forward rapidly, bnt
the movement of the packtrains,
wagons, ambulances and artillery is
somewhat slow.
From Daiquiri, where the artillery
was landed, to the present point of con
centration, the road runs through a
tangle of undergrowth op and down
steep hillsides and over treacherous
swamp-bordered streams fot a distance
of over 12 miles. Through this con
tinuous thicket the vanguard of the
army is cutting its way. , Engineers are
at work leveling the track and filling
pits, while a large force of regulars and
volunteers, with axes, aided by Cubans
with machetes, are hacking down trees
and clearing out the brash. A few.
light guns have already reached this
(Kipition. The seige guns are not yet
within five miles of the vanguard.
Ueneral Shafter left his ship today
and took quarter with General Wheeler
at the front Bis appearance there gave
rise to a rumor that an attack wonld
occur tomorrow, but the staff officers
say it is impossible to get the army in
shape to strike a blow for several days.
About 2,000 troops are camped four
miles east of the besieged city, and the
remainder of the forces stretch along
the road from there to Jnragua and
Daiquiri. The advance forces are In a
semi-circle, the left flank resting two
miles from there nnder command of
General Chaffee with the extreme right
under command of Colonel Miles, about
a mile to the northwest. Beginning
with the Twelfth infantry at the ex
treme left, the Seventh, Seventeenth,
Fonrth, Twenty-fifth and Tenth infan
try extend to the right in order named.
Beyond them picket lines are estab
lished three-quarters of a mile nearer
Santiago city, being In plain sight ot
General Chaffee s and Colonel Miles
troops.
Much amnsement has been caused
among the officers by the large number
of Red Cross flags flying from buildings
in Santiago. Seven such flags have
been counted today, and it is reported
that two more were hoisted tonight.
They are all flying from the largest and
most prominent buildings, and our offi
cers say the Spanish soldiers evidently
intend to thus try to protect every
place in the city offering a good mark
for the Amei lean artillery.
For the past day or two landings
have been without incident. The hos
pital corps has finished its camp-and
several patients are already under good
treatment. There are quite a few
cases of measles under the care of the
physicians, but a majority of the cases
of sickness are the result of heat and
the extreme hardships the men have
undergone, particularly in waiting for
shelter and food during the landing.
The fleet lies silently and grimly
waiting for the moment to come when
it shall finally measure its strength
with the harbor batteries. All day
long, four American men-of-war lay
within a mile and a half of Morro's
gnns, bat not a shot was exchanged.
The sailors on board could almost have
exchanged words with the soldiers
ashore, and the fact that the Spaniards
did not risk a shot is taken to indicate
that they are very short of ammunition
The Indiana, Iowa, New Orleans and
Massachusetts could easily have been
hit as thev lay almost motionless with
in. easy range, but Morro might be a
country sohoolbouse for all the hostile
demonstration it made.
Word waa received by Rear-Admiral
Sampson today that the Spanish sup
ply-boat Furtsima Conccpoion, winch
escapd from Jamaica recently, has ar
rivd safely at Tunas, the port of
Sancti Spiritus, on the southern coast
of the province ot Santa Clara. The
naval officers here are mnch chagrined
at the fuot that the steamer got away.
In the Suea Canal.
Madrid, July 2. In an interview
this afternoon Lieutenant-Colonel Cor
rca, minister of war, asserted that Ad
miral Camara' squadron had begun
the passage of the Suea canaL He
also announced that the Victoria, the
Numanoia, the Alfonso XIII and the
Lehanto, all armored cruisers, ore

Washington, July 2 It waa anV
nottneed at tho navy department this'
afternoon that the . Spanish Cadis
squadron had paid the heavy Snea
canal tolls and was about to proceed
eastward through the canal, though
this statement was probably erroneous.
in view of the later reports lo the
press indicating that the Spanish ves
sels were stopping for repairs. The
adirces only hastened preparations
making for the departure of Commo-
lore Watson's Eastern squadron. The
commodore has reported to the navy
lepar.ment his arrival off Santiago,
and his consultation with Admiral
Mauipwin respecting the detail of the
cruise, which, it is expected, will oc
cupy fully four months, providing the
ar endures that length of time. i
The delays to which the Spaniards
are subject at Port Said will ledotind
very gieatly to the advantage of Ad-:
miral Dewey, if Camara is still in re
ality bound for the Philippines, for
they insure the arrival of almost the
whole of General Merritt' forces, and
almtifct certainly of the cruiser Charles
ton and the Monterey and Monadnock,
before the Spanish squadron could
reach Manila harbor.
It was learned this afternoon that
the Egyptian government had decided
to notify Admiral Camara that the
ontinued presence of the Spanish fleet
at Port Said is violating neutrality and
that the warfhipa must leave.
Consular Agent Broadbent has just
made a master stroke, which he reports
to the department. While the Spanish
ships were seeking permission of the
Egyptian government to take coal at
Pert Said the consular officer succeeded
in quietly buying np all the coal avail
able at that place. This amounted to
2,000 tons, and it Is in a good place to
tie shipped to Dewey, to aerve as a base
ot supplies for Watson's Eastern squad-'
run, when it enters the Mediterranean,
or to coal any American vessels - that
may pasa through" the Suea canal,
txmnd to the Asiatic station.
The news that reached the depart
ment through the press reports that
Admiral Camara is about to leave his
torpedo-bont destoryeis at Port Said,
because they would tie unable to
weather the monsoons that rage in tho
Indian ocean at this season, is be' loved
at the navy department to piesage the
dissolution of the squadron and the
abandonment of the cruise to the Phil
ippine. The Wire to the Front.
Washington, July 2. General A. W.
Greely, chief signal officer, tonight re
ceived a dispatch from Lientenant
Culouel Allen, signal corps officer in
Cuba, annonncing that a telegraph
aud telephone station had been estab
lished at a point Within two miles of
the city of Santiago. This information
is of the highest Importance to the
officials of the war department, as it
insures to them practically direet
communication with Shafter. The in
formation if significant, too, as it shows
that the American troops are within
rifle shot of Santiago. The telegraph
station being of course within the
American lines, its location conclusive
ly indicates that the forces of General
shatter have established themselves in
ndvance of telegraphic communication.
A Road Convention.
Astoria, Or., July 2. The county
court is using every means to provide
Clatsop with good roads, and it was
decided today to call a tonvention.
This convention will meet here July
20-21, during which time the farmers'
convention , will be in session here.
Hie road convention will consist ot two
or more repesentatives from each road
district, and the best means of securing
good highways for the county will be
discussed. Farming in Clatsop county
is steadily increasing, but farmers are
greatly handicapped because of poor
highways. It is the intention to re
move this obstacle to the county' prog
ress, and secure thoroughfares which
tan he used the year round. The con
vention will doubtless be largely at
tended. ,
Short In Hay Field.
Harrisburg, Or., July 2. This room
ing Charles Turner was shot and killed
by T. M. McGratb, about six miles
east of this place. Turner had been
working on tbe farm ot Harvey Sum
ruemlle. , McGrath lives near by.
Turner visited with McGrath' boy,
about hi own ago. McGratb thought
he was visiting hi wife, with whom ,
he has ha3 trouble, and became jeal

villo faun and went up to Turner, who
was woiking in the hay field, spoke a
few words, then stepped back and
drew a levolver and shot him. The
ball entered Turner's left breast, and
