NEWS
Of Great import
Expected.
Shaffer's Landing Is
Not Known.
Sampson Will Connect
Cable,
Another Invading Army to
.. Sail for Porto Rice.
Washington June 17. The officials
in the war department do not giro
out any specific information as to
when General Sha'fter will land in
Cuba, but from certain signs of rest
lessness as exhibited by them, it Is
evident that they would not be sur
prised to have some very important
news within the next 2-1 or 30 hours,
The nayal officials aro couHdent
that Sampson will re-establish cable
communication within that time, so
news of tho American ships oil
Santiago should not be longer delayed
than the time required for a dispatch
boat to make the run of 40 miles
eastward along the coast to the shores
of Guantanamo harbor, where tho
cable will be working under the
protection of Colonel Iluntlngton's
marines.
There was an exhibition of feverish
activity at the war department yes
terday, so pronounced as to attract
attention, even in these stirring
times. It was apparent that renewed
efforts were making to complete tho
equipment of the troops already
gathered at the concentration points
and that preparations arc In progress
to move a number of troops; So far,
howcyer, It is stated that no orders
have gone out for the actual move
ment, and what has been and Is being
done in that direction Is merely pre
paratory. The various preparations doubtless
have, as their main object, the de
parture of a large expedition to Porto
Kico at an early date. It was confi
dently stated by high officials within
the last day or two that it was hoped
the expedition could be rushed so
as to get away within the next 10
days.
Very likely definite action will fol
low a conference Secretary Alger and
the president will have with General
Miles when he arrives there tomorrow
from Tampa. The general Is better
aware of the exact state of fitness of
tho sroops at the Southern rendezvous
points than any one else, and the
president and Secretary Alger, In all
probability, will bo bound by what
he has to say in deciding upon the
further disposition of troops. If Gen
eral Miles, as is thought to bb probable
recommends'a f urtherjeoaecntration of
troops on the Southern seaboard, the
new camp at, Jtonandlaa, Fla., will
be made ready for the reception of
the additional troops. The oelals
haye been forehanded as to this camp,
profiting by the experience gained in
the establishment of the two great
camps at Cblckamauga and Camp
Alger,

Miles will also be consulted respect
ing the Investment of Havana and
whether It Is unwlso to undertake
that before autumn, when the rainy
season hat passed.
What may become an Important
adjunct to the expedition which
steamed out of Fort Tampa Tuesday
was the' military balloon equipment
prepared under the direction of Gen
eral Grcely, of tho signal office. It was
In charge of Captain Maxficld, an ex
perienced officer of the corps, who will
supervise all operations connected
with tho use of the airship.
Practical steps will be taken by the
war department In a few days looking
to the payment of the claims' of the
several states and territories for ex.
penses incurred by them in tho
subsistence and maintenance of tho
volunteers prior to their mustorlng
nto the service ot tho United States.
It has been determined to refer . all
such claims to a board, consisting of
army officers, designated by tho secre
tary of war.
According to Adjutant-General Cor
bin, the number of troops left at
Tampa is In the neighborhood of 23,
000. This Includes tho portion ot the
Fourth corps, remaining at Mobile,
which is regarded as a substation of
the Tampa camp. At Jacksonville it
is estimated by the adjutant-general
there are about 9000 men. This would
make the entire strength ot the force
most eligibly located for embarkation
for Porto Blco 32,000 men. Llttlo
doubt is harbored that out of this
it would bo possible to organize by
the tlnie tho other preparations for
the expedition are completed an army
of 25,000 men thoroughly equipped.
Latest official returns show tho
following as the composition ot tho
Fourth army corps, commanded by
M;Jor-gencral Coppinger, which Is ex
pected to tfiko part in tho movement
on Porto Rfco.
At Mobllo First division, com
manded by Brigadier -General Kcwan,

No News Received from Sampson
oi; Dewey!
Kingston, Jamaica, Juno 17. The
Spanish stcamerFurlslmaConccpcion
loaded wlth'.food for Manzanlllo,lcft
Kingston at 2 o'clock yesterday
taking a westerly course. The colonial
authorities Ignored the protests of the
United States consul general as not
.based on sufficient evidence, and gave
tho ship her clearance. Tho Purisltna
Concepciun arrived at Kingston in
tho latter part of May, from
Manzanlllo, with o Spanish commis
sariat officer in disguise, seeking
supplies. Sho had already on board a
largo amount, which had been
obtalnld elsewhere. But at Kingston
shdbegan at once to tako on flour,
corn and rice, purchasing In all 2800
bags of corn, from Jamaican
merchants.
. The, colonial authorities were
Informed by her owners that clearance
papers would bo asked foran unblock
aded Cuban port, like 'Manzanlllo.
The United States consul aiade rep
resentations to the government of the
Islands against tho vessel, and a
careful Inquiry was instituted, tho
authorities promising that It Dr.
Dent could furnish specific proof that
her captain intended to run for a
blockaded port, they would refuse to
allow her to load,
An attempt was then mado by her
owners to change her register.
A well-known Kingston merchant
agreed to tako a bill ot sale, register
ing her as a British owner, but he
withdrew, when tho government
pointed out tho liability he would
Incur if she violated the neutrality
law.
Another attempt to obtain a reglscr
of ownership was made, this time
through an Irresponsible clerk, but
tho government refused his proposal
unless he should fortify It with a
bond with two resident surletlcs for
the full value of the ship. There has
never been tho least doubt In the
mind of Mr. Dent that tho supplies
and provisions, though loaded nomin
ally for an unblnckadcd port, are
destined ultimately for General
Blanco's troops. There la little likeli
hood that 6ho will reach her destinat
ion, aj Admiral Sampson Is fully
aware of her plans, and has probably
detailed a fast auxiliary cruiser to
capture her, and the Spanish o4er,
Lieutenant-Commander JoaquIuHou
tague, who Is understood to have left
Kingston with her.
The captain aud officers of the aux
illary cruiser Yosemltc, formerly the
El Bio, feel foolish and aro thoroughly
vexed, as the Ypsemite approached
Port Royal about 6 o'clock she passed
a large steamer going out. No at
why just get up and
have been paying to
tempt was made to ascertain her name
but on arrival it was thoPurlslm&
Conception.
The Yoscmlto. with anether Amer
ican cruher, had beed especially
warned about this steamer, as sho
would be a rich prize. Sho Is said to
hayo $100,000 in gold on board. Iler
cargo ot food and mcdlclno Is destined
ultimitely forClcnfuegosand Havana,
It Is by no means 'certain that. tho
Prairio formerly tho El Sol, will catch
her, though tho Pratrlo was yesterday
evening in tho courso the Purislma
Concepolon was taking this morning,
Washington, Juno 17, In the way
of acutual events there was little to
record yesterday. No word came from
Sampson at Santiago or rroni Dewey,
at Manila. This lackot afflrmatlvo
news from tho respective 6eats of war
gave rise to do apprehension. The
officials are resting secure In the
belief ithat the marines at Quanta
namo can easily maintain themselves
until tho troops arrive, and the worst
that can be feared at Manila Is not
harm to Dewey but to tho Spanish in
the city.
Tho war department has begun an
Investigation into tho state of prepar
edness of the troops at Tampa, Mo
bllo and Jacksonville, with a ylow to
selecting tho regiments for tho Porto
lllcan force, but It Is by no means
certain that nil tliu commands for
that enterprise will bo taken from
camps. In fa:t,ll seems assured that
sclcctluns of rpeclul'y well equipped
and trained rcgltuents from thovcamps
at C'hlckamuuga ind Washington will
bo made In organizing tho now expe
dition. There Is some reason to suppose
that a portion of tho forco left at
Tampa may yet bo sent to Santiago as
a Second division of General Shatter's
army,
CUP OF COLD WATEP,
Strange Qlft of an Englishman to United
States.
Washinqton, Juno 17. lion, James
F, Mcllnc, assistant United States
treasurer, has received through
Speaker Reed a letter from IIuuio
Elliott, of Manchester. England, en
closing a postal order for 10 shillings,
0 pence. In tho courso of his letter
Mr. Elliott says:
"Will you- kindly accept half a
guinea asa very small token of a great
regard for tho United States in Us
present high and righteous enterprise?
It may furnish a cup of cold water to
some member of your army or navy,
bravely contending In tho Interest of

amond Jubllco of our beloved queen,
behind my pulpit platform wcro
grouped three flags the royal British
standard In tho center, whllo on the

explanation Is simple. Wo felt that
In tho United States whlthor so

It seems almost Impossible for us to
