Robinson Writes of Beauties of Sea and Land. GORGEOUS PEN PICTURES —_+—_—_ Correspondence of the Associated Press. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) IN GUANTANAMO HARBOR, Cuba, June 21.—A boisterous night with a nasty beam wind and a punishing sea, and the Associated Press Gispatch beat Wanda from Kingston came rollicking, like a petrel, round Point Morant, and heading almost due north, was making for Santi- ago de Cuba. All of a sudden, up from the deep blue billows of the midnight sea there glistened aiong the horizon a coronet of noble jewels, necklaces fit for the throat of a queen— diamond, emerald and ruby—the signal lights of a great squadron of some forty vessels, rocking under easy steam in the deep. As they rolied through the waves the stars seemed to come down to meet the Sreat Bear, his lowest stars swinging just behind the lamps of the Indiana, the South- ern Cress mingling its bright lights with the gems that made so beautiful a night. We had chanced, by good fortune, upon the long-expected transport fleet, taking some 20,000 men to the attack of the south- ern coast of Cuba, escorted by a powerful cenvoy of men-of-war. Perhaps it is that the outward and visible signs of war thrill me more than they do most civilians, per- haps it is that blood is “really thicker than water” and that looking out upon the noble constellation of flashing ships I feel myself half an American; anyhow, the fact re- mains that I feel proud of our common Anglo-Saxon kinship, and sympathetic as I must be with the ruin, the derotta of a na- ticn of most ancient fame, I gazed upon the scene with a something warmer, more enthusiastic, than mere English feelings. In Sailing Line. A scouting gunboat, ablaze with cclor, at once discovered us, made friendly prize of us, questioned us and let us go, and till dawn we lay there in a little yacht, rock- ing on the swell among the great compa’ of leviathans. At daybreak we watched them bulkily awaking to life, taking their places, with a monstrous leisureliness, tn the sailing line, and with the flagship ahead, and warships thrown well out on either flank, steaming away along the coast to the eastward toward Guantanamo. How empty the sea seemed without these behemoths, black and gray! How terri- bly significant of speed and power those wisps of ugly noke below the horizon! And meanwhile we were steering to the westward, and with the stately line of ,the squadron always on our right, far away, approached “St. Jago de Cuba.” A sharp tropical squall caught us as we went, pelting us with rain drops as keen and sharp as hail stones and ermining all the black sea with points of silver. But we ran through it very soon, and as the rising sun caught the rain-laden air I saw for the first time the beautiful phenome- non of a double rainbow. One arch started, so it seemed, from our very keel and span- ned only the few miles of sea between us and the flanking squadron. For the other Iris flung out her longest, brightest, broad- est riband, the one end dipped in the sea somewhere on the farther side of the scene and the other was lost beyond the blue haze of the Cuban hills. And thus it was that I first saw the Morro of St. Jago un- der the arches of the rainbows. Morro Castle. There are those who have written of this fine old Rhine castle in the Caribbean sea in contemptuous scorn, not merety as @ fortress, unsuited, by the misfortune of its antiquity, to oppose the scientific terrors of modern offense, but as a building no longer “of any use to anybody.” I cannot understand the tone of mind that, even under the distorting stress of war, can write like this in the public press of so picturesque and, to America, so precious a building. Granted it is no fort, it is a thing of beauty, graced with a reverend antiq- uity. The squadron should spare it if they can. There is nothing to be ashamed of in respect for an old past, nor in the sen- timent of reverence. Compare it with the brutal objects, abominations of machinery and steel, ungainly in the very fullness of their power, the ugly battle ships and ug- lier monitors, unlovely scows, dynamite craft, torpedo boats and “converted col- liers"—a wicked-looking congregation of life-takers—compare these with the gentle contours of the old Morro, so pathetic in the rays of the setting sun. It is like com- paring the beautiful rounded wreaths of steam that curl and float away behind a railway train with the odious angularity of the cars and engines that go racing for- ward. The coast line round St. Jago Is re- splendent, the roeky hills have a rough fleece of se1ub which 1s patched as if with mange, showing bare leprous spots of rud- dy under-earth. Woe pass the noble-look- ing old fort, perched like the eyrie of some madiaeval rubber baron upon the crest and brow of the crags and trailing its lower levels of donjon-keep in the waters of the bay, to Juragua, where iron mines were worked “before the war.” The Uninviting Shore. The white cottages of the miners still stand dotted about among the uninviting Fills or scattered along the beach, a shore most tninviting to eyes accustomed to the more comfortable outlines of Eurone and lamentable by contrast with the wealth of beauty, the superb contours of Jamaica. But soon the coast alters. The mountains, lying back from the sea, send down about their feet softly undulating lines of hills, gentle heralds, as it were, of the sterner upper heights, aid the foreshore is broken into outlining ramparts, the “first line of defense” of the imperial hills behind, rounded knolls, great cushions of green upon coral stands. Half islands they seem CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Bears the signature Kind of es QP?

When the setting sun caught the coasts the rugged hills looked like crumpled vel- vet, the bush a close-piled plush. Groups of white houses straggled down through the green foliage to the water's edge, very sad in their forlornness, roofless, some of them, desolate all. Here {s a great iron pier, ten trucks in a row, all standing on it, rusty and red, waiting for the creak of the crank, the push of the strong arm, to start them into life again. Baiquiri Harbor. And the day is not far distant, for this is Baiquiri—this queer little harbor, with its sad hamlet, its idle iron pier, upon which tomorrow the eiectrifying hand of war will be laid—tomorrow—and Baiquiri knows nothing of the awful change that is coming; the old hills know nothing, and the unruffied harbor knows nothing, and all are dreaming together as if the past was to be the future. And yet I know that to- morrow before the sun sets the leviathans that 1 saw lying spangled with signal lights upon the sea last night will be clustered round this little port; that the rattle of small arms will shake all the folk in fuss and feathers that live in that slumbering bush; that the wails of the machine gun will send the terns that now float asleep upon the tranquil waters of the bay out screaming in Alarm to the sea, and the angry voices of the field guns awaken the long-distant echoes of the majestic lakes.

The office of military storekeeper, created by Congress yesterday, will be filled by the ‘appointment of Charles Loeffler, who for so many years has been the doorkeeper to the President’s room at the White House. The position of military storekeep- ez was abolished after the civil war. Mr. Loeffier will have the rank of captain, and will receive the salary of a captain. His duty will be to take charge of old weapons of war and to dispose of them at auction. Mr. Loeffler was for many years in the army, and at one time rescued General Fitzhugh Lee from a vicious Indian attack. He was appointed doorkeeper at the White Heuse by President Grant, and has re- mained ! the same position through every succeeding administration. He is known to every public man in the United States. Mr. Loeffler will not leave his position at the White House. The War Department will assign him to the Executive Mansion.

A copy of the “squadron bulletin” issued aboard the flagship New York, on which Admiral Sampson has his headquarters, has been received at the Navy Department. Ii is dated off Santiago de Cuba, June 16, and contains a number of items of general interest, some of which, however, already have been published in the newspapers. The bulletin is as follow: “The fort at Guantanamo was destroyed yesterday by the Texas and Marblehead. ‘The channel to Camanera is to be dragged for torpedoes. One torpedo was picked up by the Marblehead’s crew. There has been no serious fighting reported ashore in the last day. “The Yankee, which has returned from Cienfuegos, where she had been sent to intercept 4 Spanish steamer, the Purissi- ma Concepeion, from Kingston, Jamaica, had off the port an engagement with a Spanish gunbeat and batteries ashore. One man was wounded. The gunboat which had come out apparently to observe the character of the Yankee, escaped chietly on account of the firing being interrupted by the smoke. “The Vesuvius fired three projectiles last night. One struck the hill on which is the western battery, one went over and is thought to have struck Caya Smith, and ene is supposed to have gone into the water between Assocapa and Caya Smith.

It is understood that this spy was hung by the Cubans. “At early dawn the squadron bombarded the forts at the entrance of Santiago. ‘The forts were quickly silenced, and the fire Was continued for half an hour, and prob- ably did much damage. as no shots were fired at the ships while they were with- drawing. “A heavy explosion was observed in one otiths batteries.

The District Commissioners today ap- Proved the recommendation of the chief of the fire department that ten Gays’ leave of absence annually be granted the mem- bers of the department, beginning with Tuesday, the 5th of next month. ‘The law allows each member of the fire department leave of absence cach year with pay for such time, not exceeding twenty days, as the Commissioners shall Getermine. In ayproving today the recom- Mmendation of Chief Parris, Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the fire department, voiced the sentiments of the Commissioners in the matter, as fol- lows: “It would be a gratification to the Com- missioners if they could allow each man connected with the department the full twenty days, but a careful investigation of the subject makes the fact clear that with the number of men allowed for each company by law, giving each of these men every sixth day off, and making allow- ances for those who are detained by sick- less or accident, does not allow an addi- tional leave to the men of twenty days, and the Commissioners are, therefore, re- luctantly compelled to approve the recom- mendation of the chief engineer, wh!th recommendation is made by him for ihe reasons named above, allowing the men ten days’ leave of absence each.” ——— ey HIGH COMMISSIONERS Appointed by Victorian to just Canadian-American Differences. It is officially announced that Queen Vic- toria has appointed the following to be high commissioners, in pursuance of the agree- ment, signed at Washington on May 30, for a joint commission to adjust the Canadian- American differences: The lord high chancellor, Baron Her- schell, the premier of Ganada, Sir Wilfred Laurier; Sir Richard Gertwsight, Canadian minister of commerce; Sig, Louls Henry Davies, privy counciljor id minister of marine and fisheries ot nee la and counsel tl for Great Britain betas é international at-Hal fisheries arbitration, x, in 1887, be- tween Great Britain and thé United States, and Mr. John Charliog, member of Cana- dian parliament. = The premier of Wewfoundiand, sir James Winter, who has arfived in London on a special mission, says, {f an interview, that Newfoundland s¥ould"participate in any arrangement arrived at between the United States and Canada In regard to the French claims in.Newfoundland, the premier says the colony destres a termina- tion of the French treatiesd.

GIVEN SIXTY DAYS RATIONS Still the Order to March Has Not Been Made. ee GOOD A INSPECTION Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. TAMPA, Fla., June 30—The regular monthly muster and inspection of the regiment was held this morning. Promptly at 7 o’clock, when the assembly scunded, the men fell into their regular places and prepared for a thorough inspection by Col. Harries. He commenced at the head of the Ist Battalion and inspected every rifle, all the accoutrements and uniforms, thea tents, company streets and company kitchens. He expressed himself afterward as being very much pleased with the result. . He was accompanied in his inspection by Ad- jutant Meher and Quartermaster Field. The muster roll was called and every man had to account for the property that had been issued to him. One private has had his equipment stolen, and Captain T. W. H. King of Company B, and Lieut. Walker and Lieut. Meekins have been ap- pointed a board of survey, to investigate the matter. They will hold a meeting for that purpose today. No Sick Men. After the companies had been inspected a visit was made to the hospital, where Sur- eons Pyles, Cox and Weaver had every- thing in excellent shape. There were no patients in the hospital, and but few men answered sick call this morning. It is expeeted that the number will be larger tomorrow, as about a dozen boxes of edibles came from Washington for the boys this morning. Such boxes have caused most of the sickness found in the regi- ment. Colonel Harries hopes very much that no more boxes will be sent. The boys are chafing very much over not being ordered to the front. All sorts of rumors and some orders have been afloat, but they have not materialized. Sixty days’ rations have been issued to the men and five hundred rounds of ball cartridges provided for cach man. The men will not be allowed to have these cartridges until they are ordered away from Tampa. The general court-martial to try Private Marshall of the 5th Maryland regiment ome weeks ago will convene tomorrow morning. Private Findley of Company B of the District Regiment will probably come up before the court in the near fu- ture, Some Changes. Private Kenneth O'Conner of Company C has been appointed a musician in the same company, and Private Jones has been ap- pointed artificer. Quartermaster Sergeant J. M. Waish of Company A has been made a duty sergeant at his own request, and Sergeant Thomas F. Macauley has been made quartermaster sergeant. Ford Thompson, jr., of Washington ar- rived at Tampa yesterday and enlisted in Trogp A of Roosevelt's rough riders. The beys of the 5th Maryland Regiment are re- joicing in the arrival of three hundred and twenty recruits. They came last nigit. They will not probably go to the front with the regiment, but will remain in“Tam- pa to be drilled and seasoned. The pay rolls are being made out today, and both officers and men hope very much that the paymaster will show up before the end of the week. Most of ihe officers and all of the men are busted. The censor solutely refuses to allow anything of real interest to go out from Tampa. ~ B. — ACE AT SARATOGA. TODAY'S Talk of the Morning Slightly Favored Colambia. SARATOGA, N. Y., June 30.—The day for the freshman boat race opened bright and clear, with a light, cooling breeze sur- ring. The talk during the morning con- tinued slightly in favor of Columbia. The fast time that Ward swears that both his crews have made causes a number to take stock in the Quakers for today’s struggle. ‘The facilities for witnessing the race could not be better. Grand stands have been erected opposite the finish, and the high acclivity, which crowns the neck of the lake where the finish line is located, forms an ideal place for spectators, and com- mands a view of nearly the entire course.

Lord Salisbury, the premier, addressing the United Club, in London last evening, said: “There is a black cloud on the horizon, one that does not affect us personally, but which evokes the deepest sorrow and our largest desire for its removal. It is the war of two great states, between whom we are neutral—one bound to us by every tie of kindred and similarity of institutions and religion; the other the state that fought on our side when we struggied with the threatening tyranny of the first Na- Poleon. “Watching this terrible war, we are bound to abstain from expressing any Preference or any judgment on either side. We know that in both cases the motives were of the highest character. We know that the United States are animated by elevated philanthropy, and that Spain is inspired by that love of. independence which was the greatest pride of all an- cient nations. “I can only say I earnestly wish the day ™may speedily arrive when this terrible slaughter between two nations will cease, and the world be restored to peace. “With this exception, the world looks smiling enough to us politically. The con- vention with France has removed the sub- ject of conflict between us and our great- est and most cultivated neighbor. The-| Soudan expedition, if successfully accom- plished, will be the greatest work for eivilization that England has performed for twe or three generations. “The government's Chinese policy is to prevent the Chinese empire from falling into ruins, to invite into paths of reform, to give -it every arsistence in our power, to perfect its deferses, and to increase its commercial prosperity. : “Thus, we should aid Chine and our- selves.

Parr of Baltimore, grain merchant; Robert Carswell of Balti- more; R. C. Davidson, president of the Bal- timore Trust and Guarantee Company; D. M.
