SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.—The troops at the Presidio and Lime Point were called ut last evening to fight grass fires. The flames at Lime Point approached danger- ously near the tents and magazine of Fort Baker. About 800 acres were burned over, but no serious damage was done. Major General Otis has not yet desig- nated the troops to go on the next expedi- tion to Manila, It is known, however, that Major General Merritt is especially anx- fous that the ist New York Volunteers should be dispatched speedily, and they will probably have a place in the next fleet. ‘The difficulty experienced in obtaining steamers for transport service has caused the government to seek for sailing vessels which may be available. Several have been examined, and it Is ynderstood that the ship Tacoma will be chartered to carry stores and military supplies to Manila. Colonel Smith of the ist Tennessee Vol- unteers asked Major General Otis for a board of supervisors to pass on the uni- forms issued to his regiment. The colonel asserts the garments were made in China- town and are worthless. After ten days’ wear they are in worse condition than the old uniforms worn by the troops on their arrival here. General Merriam has ordered Major Gen- eral Frank W. Hess of the 3d United States Artillery to proceed to Fort Canby, Wash., where he will be permanently stationed. The steamship Acapulco, from Panama and way ports, has arrived here. The Umatilla, from Puget sound and British Cciumbia, also reached auarantine, and the City of Panama is expected from Central America within a few hcurs. It is understood that these three vessels will be takea by the government for trans- port purposes. The City of Puebla and the Peru are rapidly being fitted up, and the departure of the fourth fleet to Manila is expected to be set for July 10. ‘The idea of sending each ship off as it is ready, without waiting for a fleet, has not been favorably considered, and the next ex- pedition will be similer to those that have preceded it, although the term “fleet” is variable, and may include anything from three to fifteen vessels. Maj. Gen. Otis has announced no definite plans in regird to his own departure. Ac- cording to present indications, he will not go until the final fleet sails through the Golden Gate. One hundred ard four recruits for Bat- teries A and D of the Utah Artillery have arrived at Camp Merritt. They are in charge of Lieut. Wedgwood and are not equipped. The men were received at the ferry by the ladies of the Red Cross So- ciety and given breakfast. They then marched to camp and waited in the hot sun for some one to furnish them tents. The Alger Light Artillery Battery will probably move over to the Presidio today to join the forces at Camp Miller. —— LINE OF SPANISH RETREAT. Information at the Disposal of the War Department. The military authorities here are fully considering the chances of a retreat of the Spanish army from Santiago and are en- deavoring so to shape events that General Shafter’s force will not only take Santiago, but will capture the 12,000 Spaniards before they get away northward to effect a junc- ture with General Pando. Full information as to the possible lines of retreat has been placed at the disposal of the War Depart- ment. One of the most interesting state- ments is that of General Manager Cox of the Spanish-American Mining Company, at Baiquiri, who is thoroughly acquainted with all the country surrounding Santiago. He shows that the two possible lines of re- treat are: First, by the road to El Cobre; or, second, by following the line of the Sa- banillo and Marato railroad. The first line will be easy for about the first ten miles, or as far as Bl Cobre, but after that the coun- try is mountainous and barren, and would not afford subsistence, and the pass to reach the central plateau of the island would be difficult. The more likely line of retreat will be along the line of the above mentioned rail- road, crossing the Sierra Maestra at El Cristo, a pass 600 feet above the sea, ten miles north of Santiago, which is the low- est pass through the Sierra Maestra for many miles. The country back of this is a rolling plateau of rich agricultural land. At Manacas, on the railroad, two miles north of the pass, is an iron bridge, con- sisting o_ a series of thiry-foot spans on iron trestle bents. This point is about two miles beyond the Cristo summit, and just beyond this bridge the railroad divides tn- to two branches. The destruction of this bridge would be the most feasible method ' of preventing the approach of General Pan- do’s Spanish troops to relieve Santiago. It is probable that if the Spaniards re- treat by this read they will make a stand on the plateau at El Cristo and hold the pass of El Cristo. The only other pass through the mountains near this point is at Escandel Summit, about six miies in a straight line east of El Cristo pass. Is- candel Summit is 1,200 feet above the sea, and is reached from Santiago via Caney. The road from Sentiago to Caney is fairly good, being wide enough for vehicles. Be- tween Caney and Escandel the rvad, which is no more than a trail, ascends the moun- tains and is very winding and broken. Be- yond Escandel, across the range, the coun- try is heavily timbered and broken, and the roads are not good. It is an ideal country for ambush. This is probably the only pass through which the Spanish posi- tion could be turned should the Spznish troops occupy the Cristo plateau and pass. The railroad has been fortitied by a line of blockhouses, protecting the bridges, and certain zones of cultivation inclosed be- tween these forts have been planted dur- ing all the time of the war, and would af- fcrd a supply for the army for a certain time. In the meanwhile sweet potatoes could be planted, which in three months would ripen. These zones of cultivation exist along the road as far as San Luis, at which point there is considerable of the country in cultivation. On the other branch (the Sabanilla branci) the zones of culti- vation extend as far as Songo. a Causes a Loss of $500. Fire was discovered this morning about 10 o’clock in the stable of John Van Der- lehr, No. 800 24 street northwest. What caused the fire is not known. The dam- age amounted to about $600. A dog per- ished in the flames. —_———_ Twenty Dollars or Sixty Days.

The work of paying the army was the main feature of the day. A number of regiments, whose pay rolls have been checked and approved, were pata before noon. The work is now systematized, and hereafter at least six regiments a day will be paid. The whole army will be disposed of in a very short time. Although the army now in camp here has received no immediate orders to move to the front, preparations for such an event are going on. Ever since the arrival of this army, the Scuthern, Western and Atlantic, Chatta- nooga, Rome and Southern and Alabama Great Southern have concentrated a large number of passenger coaches at this point. These cars remained on the sidings in a rather promiscuous order until today, when the two former roads began the work of straightening out and making these cars up into trains ‘of one freight, three bag- gage and nine passenger cars. Major Nye, commissary of subsistence of the Chattanooga depot, is engaged in pre- paring for a movement of the army. Dur- ing the past several days he has shipped to the park a quantity of “travel rations,” canned corned beef, hard tack, canned sal- mon and other prepared and cooked food, sufficient to last the army for ten days. The supplies have been portioned out to the commissariat officers of the park s0 that when the time comes to leave for the front every soldier can secure his “travel rations.” ————s THE WEEK ENDING JULY 2, 1898. The Wnr With Sp: The American army befcre Santiago, in command of Maj. Gen. Shafter, in conjunc- tien with Cuban forces under Gen. Garcia, bgan a general assault on the Spanish lines Friday morning, the warships of the blockading squadron aiding by a bombard- ment of the outer harbor defenses. Early reports of the fighting indicated that the Spaniards had, after a stubborn resistance, fallen back from their intrenchments to the city itself, while after one day’s work the Americans had advanced thelr position to within three-quarters of a mile of Santi- ago; the American losses were estimated to bo upward of 1,000 kIled and wounded as the result of the first day’s fighting. This areressive :novement was hastened be- cause of the receipt of news that Gen. Pando with a reinforcing army of about 8,000 men was advancing from Manzanillo teward Santiago, and it was desired to ecmplete the capture of that city before the arrival of the reinforcements. Addi- ticnal forces were hastily sent to Gen. Shafter from Norfolk and Tampa, while orders were issued for the dispatching of more troops from the cencentration camps at Falls Church and Chickamauga to the same points of embarkation. The third Manila exp2dition, comprising 4,000 troops in four transports, left San Francisco, Gen. Merritt, military governor of the Philip- Pines, accompanying this force. Admiral Dewey cabled that the insurgents were steadily closing in on Manila and that his relations with Aguiraldo, the insurgent leader, were cordial; the continued presence of a heavy squadron of German, warships in Manila bay caused much disquieting comment in both Europe ani America sug- gestive of a German purpose to‘ intervene in the situation there, but the latest reports indicated that Admiral Diedrich, command- ing the German naval force, had refused to enter into an orrangement with ‘the Span- ish captain general, August foria German rotectorate, the German admiral referring o the fact of the American blockade as his reason; it wag reported that dissensions hed broken out among the insurgents and that Aguinaldo had caused the arrest of two of his principal officers; Admiral Dew- ey notified the government in Washington that he had in nowise committed the gov- eriment to a policy in the Philippines. ‘The naval situation assumed an important change, owing to the arrival of Admiral Cemara witn the “Cadiz fleet” at Port Said, the northern terminus of the Suez canal; at the same time this government announced its intention to send a squadron to Spain for the purpcse of making a dem- enstration to carry to the Spanish mind an effective concepticn of American power in this war; Commodore Watson was chosen to command this squadron and the Iowa, Oregcn, Newark. Dixie, Yankee, Yosemite and several colliers were named as {ts com- nents. Commodore Watson arrived off lantiago with the Newark jn pursvance of the new program. The Spanish commander found much difficulty in securing permis- sicn to take on coal at Port Said, and was finally forced to replenish his supply from celliers outside the herbor limits; ut the end of the week there was some uncer- tainty as to whether he had or would en- ter the canal on his way to the Philippines. It was understood that if he went in that direction Commodore Watson would give chase, and, if possible, engage and destroy him. The President extended the blockade of Cuba to include the entire southern coast and also proclaimed a blockade of San Juan, Porto Rico. The American aux: ililary cruiser St. Paul engaged the Spanish torpedo-gunboat ‘Terror off San Juan and disabled the smaller craft, which was tow- ed in @ sinking contition into San Juan harbor. There was sharp fighting between the St. Paul and St. Louis on the one side ard some small Spanish gunboats in the vicinity, but no material damage was done. Congressional. The House passed several bills increasing the efficiency of the military organization, but refused to pass the Senate Dill Pro- viding for the appointment of a military secretary to the Secretary of War.
