Victor Blue, of the auxiliary gunboat Suwanee, returned to the fleet to-day from another investigation trip ashore. Hereported that Admiral Cervera’s ships are all in the harbor. With the exception of one torpedo boat destroyer, they are at anchor and show no signs of activity. Lieut. Blue went ashore on Saturday to the west of Moro castle, accompanied by some Cuban guides. He advanced until about two miles north of Cabanas and almost up to the enemy’s batteries. He traveled 60 miles and rejoined the Suwanee this morning. At one time the lieutenant was at a Cuban outpost. “They popped away ateach other all the time,” said Lieut. Blue, ‘but I do not think the Cubans hurt the Span- iards very much and I know the Span- ijards did nothurt the Cubans.” Lieut. Blue was able to accurately locate the position of each of Admiral! Cervera’s ships. tear Admiral Sampson warned his fleet this morning to exercise great care in shooting at the hilis east of Moro castle, pointing out that the American army had advanced and that our own troops might be de- ployed on the hillside.

So the war went on with the plan to attack the Spanish coast held under considera- tion.

By that time the army is expected to be ready for another forward move- ment. The dynamite gunboat Vesuvius fired three shells last night. They fell in the vicinity of Moro castle and the eastern batteries. During the night a loud explosion occurred on shore near Aguadores. It is believed to have been caused by the Spaniards trying to blow up the railroad trestle near that place. It is now said that Jaragua may be selected as the per- manent coaling harbor for the fleet. Another Army Ready to Be Sent. WASHINGTON, June 28.—Orders have been issued for the departure of another large army expedition from Tampa, composed of about 9,000 men of the second division of the Fourth army corps under command of Brig. Gen. Snyder, and six batteries of ar- tillery, three light and three heavy. The preparations have been proceed- ing quietly for some days and, al- though the stores have been going aboard at Tampa, a rigid censorship at that point has prevented any word go- ing out as tothe expedition. The ac- tual departure from Tampa is expected by the war department to occur to- day. The plan of the movement has been thoroughly determined upon. Twelve transports are to carry the expedition. They will move first to Key West, at which point a strong naval convoy cessful termination with the minimum loss of life. The operations of the navy have thus far produced the most effect upon Spain, and they have been attended with very litt president is determined and emphasize this kind of ea ing. Still another consideration influences the determination. The president is getting tired of the continuous mis- representation of the events of the war to the Spanish people by the Span- ish government. With a measure of effrontery and mendacity never ap- proached by any other nation the Spanish commanders claim victories, and the Spanish people seem to be- lieve them. If anything can put an end to this self-deception it will be an American fleet on the Spanish coast, destroying what little remains of a once boasted navy, bombarding de- fenses and laying an embargo on Spanish commerce. The first objective point of Commo- dore Watson's squadron is Cadiz. The principal navy yard of Spain is there. It will be destroyed. Should Cama- ra’s fleet, now at Port Said and alleged to be destined for the Philippines, not pass through the Suez canal, but re- turn to the defense of the S i coast, Commodore Watson will g battle. On the first indication of mara’s return, swift erui bly Schley’s squadron, will be reinforce Watson.

The Hawaiian annexation resolutions were then taken up and Mr. Caffery re- sumed his speech in opposition to IHlawaiian annexation. He extolled President Cleveland’s course in order- ing the American flag taken down. The house considered the confer- ence report on the bankruptcy bill. A number of speeches were made and then the report was adopted by a de- cisive majori le loss. The to continue ign- The Woodworkers’ Strike. Osukosu, Wis., June 28.—The Wood- workers’ strike still hangs on although the three factories running claim an increase of 30 workmen to-day. After repeated consultations with the local authorities the governor has decided net to withdraw troops until all dan- ger is past, which, according to city officials, will not be until after the fourth of July at least. After that date the other factories will resume operations and the strength or w ness of the strike will soon be dis- covered. Meanwhile general business is paralyzed and the strikers, many of whom are in destitute circumstances, have started a plan for soliciting aid from citizens and farmers. lk A Flood in Fort Scott.
