Port Axtoxio, Jamaica, June 21.
-Adsices received here late yesterday
afternoon announce the arrival off San
t.ago of the first division of the Ameri
can army of invasion under command of
Major General Shafter. No attempt
was made during the day, according to
the report, to land the American troops.
General Shafter, soon after hi -arrival,
had a conference with Admiral
Sampson. They discussed at length the
information obtained by Admiral Samp
son's scouts as to the most available
landing places in the vicinity of San
tiago juid sent farther scouting parties
along the coasL In the parties were
representatives of the army assigned to
the duty by General Shafter. They in
spected the points considered by Ad-
aural Sampson to be most advantageous
and the commanders of the army and
aavy speedily will decide where to land
the troops.
' Tremendous enthusiasm was awak
ened among the men with Admiral
a Sampson's fleet by the arrival of the
American troops. They gave cheer
fter cheer, the report states, and their
enthusiasm met with an equally hearty
response from the troopships. Repeated
.delays in the departure of the army
from Tampa had made the men with
the fleet impatient and they awaited
the coming of their allies with great
eagerness. For more than ten days
they had had practically nothing to do
aside from preventing the escape of Ad
miral Cervera's fleet from the harbor.
Officers And men, the fleet having done
ajl the damage possible preparatory to
landing the troops, were anxious for
more actual warfare,
o The enemy has been working for two
weeks to concentrate a strong force in
the vicinity and Spanish troops have
been summoned from various parts of
eastern Cuba. General Linares must
meet General Shaffer's army with
a smaller force than he had anticipated,
owing to the-uecessity of leaving several
thousand troops to guard Guantanamo.
Now that the marines at Camp Mc
Calla have become firmly entrenched
there, the Spaniards must divide their
forces to defend both cities. Our forces
thus are about to reap another decided
advantage through the successful land
ing of marines on the eastern shore of
Guantanamo bay. Upon the ability of
the troops to stand the climatic condi
tions at this season of the year in Cuba
will depend in a great measure the time
to be selected for the advance upon Ha
vana. If the regulars are able to keep in as
good health as have the marines at
Camp McCalla, you may expect to hear
of speedy developments in 'the situa
tion, lam told that the men under
General Shafter, despite their experi
ence of 13 days in close quarters aboard
the transports, are in good health.
They are eager to get at the Spaniards
and stirring scenes are certain to mark
their landing.
Key West, June 21. A vessel ar
rived here from the blockade this morn
ing and reported all quiet along the line.
She brought an officer of the Cuban
army and a pilot who are carrying' im
portant dispatches to Senor Estrada
Fauna of the Cuban junta from General
Alexandra Rodriguez the insurgent
commander of Havana province.
The Cubans report that there are no
supplies of rice, maize, potatoes or eggs
in Havana. Flour, they say, costs SO
cents per pound and the army had been
placed on half rations. The messengers
class as false that vessels have sacoeeded
in entering Havana harbor with sup
plies. They assert thet since the block
ade' began only three small -; ves
sels have entered the harbor and that no
food whatever is received ..from Cieu

(Copyright, 1888, by James Gordon Bronett.)
Washington, June 21. Mojor Gen
eral Miles intends that there shall be no
delay in having troops at the places of
embarkation for the Porto Ricau exped
ition. Orders were this morning issued
to Brigadier General Schwau, com
manding the troops at Mobile, to im
mediately proceed with his entire com
mand to Miami, Fla., and to hold him
self and command in readiness for duty
with the Porto Rican army. Orders
have also been issued to Major General
Brooke, commanding the troops at Chick
amauga Park, to have his regiments
ready to move to Fernaudina upon thn
shortest notice.
Owing to the exceptional facilities
offered by Fernaudina and Miami for
the embarking of an army the secretary
of war has decided to embark the army
for Porto Rico from these two places.
At both Fernaudina and Miami the
water is sufficiently deep to easily float
a transport ship of any size. The dock
ing facilities at both cities are excellent.
THREE QUESTIONS OF INTEREST.
Fabllc Attcatloa Divided Between Shaf
ter, Dewey anil If oImou.
Washington, June 21. Publie at
tention yesterday was divided almost
evenly between three subjects, the
movement of General Shatter's army,
the probability of reinforcements hav
ing reached Dewey and the status of
Hobson. Up to a late hour in the after
noon neither of the anxiously awaited
messages which were to announce the
arrival of transports at Santiago or
Manila had reached the war or the navy
departments. It was not doubted, how
ever, that our vessels were off Santiago,
for although proceeding at a less speed
than the English steamer, which, ut
Kingston yesterday reported passing
them in the Windward passage Sunday
night, the distance which thev would
be obliged to travel from the passage to
Santiago, is less than that traveled by
the British ship that came into Kingston
early in the afternoon. If they came
into Santiago they could report that fact
solely by a dispatch boat running over
to Kingston, a 12-hour journey. It
la not doubted tnat just about the same
time Shafter appeared off Santiago the
Charleston came into Manila bay lead
ing the transports which bring nearly
3,000 troops to Dewey's assistance.
Admiral May Wait.
The fact will not be known, however,
officially for two or three days, owing to
the distance to Hong Kong, the nearest
cable point. It is questioned here
whether with this force to back him
Dewey will feel justified in assaulting
Manila, or demanding its surrender.
Either course would involve heavy re
sponsibilities for the admiral and it is
extremely desirable that no pretext be
offered European powers for interven
tion at Manila under guise of protecting
the interest of their subjects. Thorp
fore the admiral may wait another 10
days until the second installment of
troops reaches Cavite. In this case he
will probably land the troops that ar
rive in Cavite, which is now completely
under the control of himself and the in
surgents, and employ the time in accus
toming them to Manila methods and
climate.
During the day the dispatches an
nouncing that Captain General Blanco
had refused to exchange Hobson and his
fellow prisoners created some indigna
tion, which was modified later by Mad
rid advices quoting Sagasta as saying no
decision had been reached. Should
Spain adopt the cruel and unusual
course of refusing an exchange the regu
lations of the war department are suffi
cient to oset the case. The following
principle is laid down: "Retaliation
will never be resorted to in revenge, but
only as a matter of protective retribu
tion, and moreover, cautiously and ad
visedly, that is to say, retaliation shall
only be resorted to after careful inquiry
as to the real occurrence and the char
acter of the deeds that may demand
retribution. Inconsiderate or unjust
motives moving the belligerants further
and further from the mitigating rules of
regular warfare and by rapid strides
leads them to the internecine wars of
savages."
Laac Xaase Xew Ships..
It was pointed out by a leading officer
of the army that the Spanish had most
to lose by a course of cruelty, which
would call for retaliation as the number
of Spanish prisoners is far greater than
that of American prisoners. There was
a wholesale christening at the navy de
partment when Secretary Long sup
plied names for no less than 35 war
craft. All of these were provided for
in the last naval appropriation bill and
while contracts for their construction
have not been let, the advertisements
have been issued except in the case of
monitors aad all the boats will be under
way before cold weather. First in the
list of Big battleships is the Maine, for
crnigreas has provided that that name
shall he continued in the list. The other
two battleships will be the Missouri and
the Ohio.
Thelrstof the torpede boats bear
the name of brave young Ensign Bag
ley, who was killed on the Winslow
under the guns of Cardenas, the first
American naval officer to lose his life in
the war. Four states have the rtrivilese

Schley to Command a Squadron Destinad
For Spain.
Washington, June 21. Destruction
will be the fate of Admiral Cauiara's
squadron whether its destination be the
Philippines or the West Indies. "This is
the confident belief of the officials. It
is based upon the complete and satis
factory accounts of defective condition
of the vessels comprising the fleet,
which have been published by the Her
ald and which have been officially con
firmed. As a counter move the result
of the early prospective departure of the
Spanish fleet from peninsula -waters
the authorities made official admis
sion today that plans have been per
fected for the formation of a flying
squadron to be sent against the Canary
islands and the Spanish coast. It is
Secretary Long's belief that the present
will be the most importaut week of the
campaign. If Santiago de Cuba and
Admiral Cervera's fleet is taken in the
meantime, orders will be issued next
week directing the assembling of a
squadron to be placed under the com
mand of Commodore W. S. Schley,
which will at once assume offensive
operations.

CincKAMAi'UA, June 21. The most
important liappeuiug of today at Camp

Healy and staff of New York to pay the
troops of tliat state for the time they
were in service before being mustered in
as United States volunteers. General
Healy lias long been expected and anx
iously awaited by the New Yorkers and
his arrival was the signal for unbounded
enthusiasm. Several hundred more re
cruits arrived this morning. The ar
rivals yesterday nnmbered nearly 500.
The recruiting work is progressing much
more rapidly than expected, all the regi
ments filling up fast. Efforts are now
being made to perfect the guard service
at the park as rapidly as possible.

Hong Kong, June 21. According to
advices from Manila dated June 17, it
was reported there that General Nonet,
coming southward with 8,000 mixed
troops from Balacan, 30 miles north of
Manila, found the railway line block
aded and was taken in ambush by the
insurgents. Severe fighting ensued and
was carried on for three days, during
which General Nonet was killed. The
native troops joined the insurgents and
the Spaniards who were left, about 500,
surrendered.
A battalion at ChamiKtgn of native
militia, supposed to be particularly
loyal began shooting its officers and
killed Ave, when the insurgents at
tacked Marabou. The Spanish succeeded
in disarming and imprisoning a portion
of them, but they escaped when the
insurgents captured Marabou.
At Zapote, also a whole regiment re
volted at a critical moment. The auth
orities still used mixed forces, with the
result that insurgent riflemen are fre
quently found to have passed the sen
tries and to be creeping along under
cover and firing upon the Spaniards
from behind.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press pays a daily visit to the outposts
at Tondo, Santa Jera, Santa Ana and
Malite, but there is no perceptible move
ment, though there is constant firing
which for the most part Ls ineffective.
Nothing is visible among the trees. The
insurgents, who fire sparingly, draw
abundant Spanish volleys, and espe
cially at night. The Spaniards inces
santly squander tons of ammunition
into the shadows of the thicket, appar
ently in the hope of quickly exhausting
their stock and being in a position to
surrender honorably after a hopeless
fight.
In the meantime the Spanish com
manders have been ordered to burn the
villagers' Cuts outside the town so as to
deprive the enemy of shelter and hun
dreds of peaceful natives are homeless.
There was a great feast at Cavite on
June 12, when a declaration of inde
pendence was formally made by Aguin
aldo. He had invited the American of
ficers to be present, but none accepted.
Aguinaldo is reported to have advocated -autonomy
under American protection
similar to the British protectorates.'
The insurgents, it is believed, out of
deference .to Admiral Dewey, have re
resolved never to bombard. For several,
days there have been tremendous rain
storms. v

Hoxa Koxo, June 21. The fight for
possession of the stone convent at old
Cavite was one.of the most bloody and
gallant engagements of .the war. The
convent is a massive building with walls
five feet thick. June 1 Angusti sent
2,000 regulars from Manila- to reduce
Aguinaldo's force at Cavite. After a
day's fight the Spaniards ware driven
back and the flower of the troops and
most of the oficers took refuge' in the
convent. Aguinaldo's plan was to starve
them, bat on the th, finding they were
rccejviBg supplies, h oyaed toe with
Augusti sent from Manila 4,000 regular!
to xeuevv iucm.
Aguinaldo also engaged, leading the
advance in person. He sent to the right
,nd left bands of from 100 to 200
machete men, who made sorties. On
the first rush they killed 150 soldiers
and a lieutenant colonel, on the second 00
soldiers and four officers were killed be
fore the Spaniards could turn. This
mode of warfare was kept up until 900
were killed. Then began a fearful re
treat along the road to Manila by Bacoor,
at which place a last stand was made.
In one of the captured Spanish bays
was an American flag, which Aguinaldo
will present to,. Consul General Wil
Hams. The insurgents picked off Spaniards
to within sight of Ermita. It is estima
ted that 2,100 Spaniards were killed and
captured. On the 9th Aguinaldo stormed
old Cavite con vanf, which surrendered
after five hours. His forces killed 90
Spaniards and captured 250 with arms.
Many acts' of personal heroism were
performed by the insurgents.

Hong Kong, June 21. General Feli
pino officially proclaimed a provisional
government in old Cavite June 12.
There were great ceremonies and a de
claration of independence was read re
nouncing Spanish authority. General
Aguinaldo was elected president and
Daniel Pirondo vice president. The in
surgents' government will not oppose
an American protectorate or occupation.
The rebels have captured the Spanish
governor and the garrison of 300 men at.
Bnlucan. The governor and garrison'
at Pampanga are surrounded and the
governor and garrison of 450 men have
been captured at Batangas. June 9 the
family of Governor General Angusti
fled to the interior for .safety. The
Spaniards in Manila are reiorted as
having shot 30 carbiueros for attempting
to desert to the rebels. Aguinaldo sent
an ultimatum to the governor that if
more were executed ho would retaliate
an Spanish prisoners. The Baltimore
has sailed to meet the Charleston and
troop ships. The French warship Pascal
arrived June 15. The warship Kaiser is
expected daily.

The facings of the infantry uniforms
are white, of the artillery red, of the

ange and of the medical department
green.
"Eyes of tbe army" is the term ap
plied to tbe signal corps.
The signal corps of tbe regular army
consists of ten officers, including Chief
Greely and 50 sergeants. 'Each company
of regular soldiers must have, at least
four men proficient in signaling who
may be detailed for the work at any
time.
Troops who in recent years have
fought Indians in the far west are usu
ally experienced in heliograpbic service.
This method of signaling, by flashing
of mirrors, was much used in the later
Apache campaign.
War balloons are now fitted with tele
scopic cameras, by which photographs
of a vast area of country can be obtain

The regular infantry arm is tbe Krag
Jorgensen six shot repeating rifle. With
it is used the sword bayonet.
Smokeless powder and 30 caliber bul

To Chicago sad the East.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the

assailant boats were lost. '" "- '
. The Whitehead torpedo is the only

torpedo in use today. The United States
; was the last leading -nation to adopt the
Whitehead, the navy department delay
ing action with the hope, that an Amer
ican engineer would produce the White
head's equal.
That the torpedo stands today as he
most wonderful ami terrible of modern
' engines of war is not to be doubted, but
' it has had no real test of its power. Na-
, val officers all over Europe have looked
forward eagerly to a war between the
t United States and Spain as an object
lesson in torpedo warfaro.
i The three cylinders that compose the
propelling engine within a Whitehead
torpedo could bo carried in one's over-
coat pocket, but they have a combined-
force of 30 horsepower.
South American wars since 187? aad
the recent war between China and Ja
pan have shown what could be done with
torpedoes. Russia also successfully em
ployed torpedoes in her war with Tur
key in 1877.
A check to the torpedo boat is the tor
pedo boat destroyer. .Of these vessels
Spain has 16, England has more than
100, while all the other first class Eu
ropean powers have from 10 to 75 de
stroyers each. These craft are armed
with rapid fire and machine guns, and
also- are equipped to eeud torpedoes
against an enemy's ship.
The simplest' form of an anchored
CAVALRY CHARGE.
torpedo or mine is the contact mine,
which consists of an iron case contain
ing the explosive charge. If a ship hits
one of tbe several projecting firing pins,
a percussion cap is exploded, which ex
plodes tbe mine.
Stationary torpedoes or buoyant
mines are anchored near tbe bottom in
deep water by a device which allows
them to be electrically released at the
proper time to rise to the surface be
neath the hostile ship.
In the observation mine two wires
lead to the shore. Tho coming of a ves
sel above tbe mine causes a bell to be
rung or an electric light to be lighted
on shore, which informs the operator
there that it is time to touch the button
causing the mine to explode.
LEGALIZED WARFARE.
Agreemeata by Wblcb Civilized Mattes
DlatfaJsb Wara Ilorran.
What is called international law in
respect of warfare is a compact among
nations as to certain rules and forbear
ances that shall be observed in conduct
ing hostilities should war arise between
any of the parties to the agreement.
It is agreed among the great nations
of Europe that in the event of war aris
ing, arraying any one of these pow
ers against another, there shall be no
privateering on either side. This limits
the capturing or destruction of the ene
my's commerce to tbe operations of reg
ularly commissioned warships.
At tbe beginning of the present war
with Spain President McKinley pro
claimed that tbe neutral flag covers ene
my s goods witu tne exception or con
traband of war and that neutral goods
not contraband of war are not liable to
confiscation under the enemy's flag.
There art differences of opinion as to
whether certain articles are contraband
of war that is, whether they can be
useful to tbe enemy. Thus, while sul
phur, from which powder might be
made, is contraband, it is still an unde
cided question whether tbe same rule
applies to coal that might be used in
steaming by the enemy's warships.
In all modern wars, even when such
savage forces as Spain and Turkey are
engagedthe Red Crosaflsg has been re
spected .by combatants on both sides.
No pillaging is now allowed in war,'
but an army may take whatever it needs
for its use in passing through a country
food for men and horses, wagons aad
animals for transportation, arms, muni
tions and supplies of all kinds.
In tbe present war Spain claims a
right to grant letters of marque to priva
teers, but has intimated that she will
simply place under naval control the
merchant ships that are to serve as aux
iliaries in this conflict.
