The newspaper reports, brief and graphic, telling of the short, bloody en- gagement between the Spaniards de- fending Santiago and the Rough Riders, the romantic figures in the American army, had aroused popular interest to a high pitch. Consequently the War Department scarcely opened for business before a crowd of news- paper men and other interested persons | filled the hall and vicinity of the bul- letin boards, seeking for some official information that would supply data missing from the press accounts. It was not until nearly noon that the first cablegram came from Shafter and then, to the disappointment of the de- partment, it was even more meager —— e ADVERTISEMENTS.

During the course of the day several other dis- patches were received, but they all left | something to be desired, for, being un- | der yesterday's date, they did not re- | lieve anxiety as to what happened yes- terday evening and to-day with the | two armies separated by space of a mile and a half. An explanation of this state of affairs was found in the fact that General Shafter failed to take with him from Tampa the splendid fleld telegraph service that had been prepared with much care by General Greely for just such a campaign as is now being waged. It is probable that he has al- ready seen his error and will avail him- seif of the instruments just as soon as they can be sent to him. There was a general expression of grief at the loss sustained by the soldiers in yesterday’s fight. Still, officials in high places ex- pressed themselves as thoroughly satis- fled with the gesult, realizing that war ¢annot be successful without sacrifice of life. The impression gained from one of General Shafter’s dispatches is that he is now about to delay his advance until he has secured his artillery. Such a course will be dictated by common pru- dence, for it is known that the Span- fards have fortified as far as they could advanced positions outside of Santiago and it would be the height of folly to throw soldiers unsupported by artil- lery against such works, Unfortunately there promises to be some delay in landing all the artillery, owing to the loss on the voyage to San- tiago of the big lighter which seems to be necessary to transfer guns from the ships to the landing pier. The na- val authorities have responded prompt- ly to the appeal of the War Department and some means will be found through the aid of the warships to accelerate the landing of the supplies and guns. Gendral Shafter's dispatches throw considerable new light on the general situation of the advance forces. It makes it evident that Major General ‘Wheeler, commander of the cavalry ai- vision, is with the advance force, the Rough Riders and the cavalry forces, which participated yesterday, being a part of General Wheeler’s command. Tt is felt to be characteristic of the dash and impetuosity of Wheeler that he should be leading the advance, and it is taken as answering some of the com- ments made upon the age of some of the volunteer leaders. General Shafter's report that our troops are now about a mile and a half from Sevilla shows how rapidly the American soldiers pushed forward. They have already reached Juragua. the short Sevilla is the point where the Spaniards claim they will make a desperate stand, and with our forces only a mile and a half off it is apparent that a decisive fight is near at hand. It is five miles from Sevilla to Aguadores (the interior town, not the port) and two miles fur- ther to Santiago. This shows our troops to be about eight and a half miles from Santiago, according to Gen- eral Shafter's report. The Captain Wainwright referred to in General Shafter’s dispatch as being injured belongs to the First Cavalry. His full name is Robert F. P. Wain- wright. He was born in Pennsylvania, and appointed to the military academy | from New York. Secretary Alger and General Miles look for desperate fighting very soon. The main attention is given to hurry- ing forward re-enforcements and stores to General Shafter. During the day Secretary Alger and General Miles held several conferences, not so much to go over the struggle of yesterday as to give every military preparation for the great struggle yet | to come. As a result, | enforcements will go forward at once, | both from Tampa and from Newport News. An expedition of 6000 men is expected to leave Tampa within the It comprises the the Third Division of the First Army Corps. The stores are already going aboard the transports and the start of the expedition only waits the arrival of the naval convoy. Part of the war- ships sent over with Shafter’s expedi- tion have been released from Admiral | Sampson and are now on their way back to Tampa to escort the additional | troops. Others will follow and then | another formidable marine procession | will start across the Gulf to Cuba. Whether the battle-ship Indiana will lead this expedition, as it did the last, is not definitely settled. There will | be several heavy warships, however, | as well as lighter craft, to give safe | conduct to General Snyder’s division. | Simultaneous with this, General | Henry's division will be moving along { the Atlantic coast and thence to San- | tiago. In all the re-enforcements from | Tampa and Newport News will be in | the neighborhood of 12,000 or 14,000 men. | Drafts on Chickamauga are likely to follow soon, as the hurry orders re- cently given have led to the full equip- ment of several commands. The War Department is acting on the theory that it is not politic to take any possible chance of a serious re- verse near Santiago. The latest in- formation reaching the authorities here shows that the Spanish army is greater than has been estimated thus far. Lieutenant Joyce of the regular army reported to General Miles to-day, giv- ing much information as to thé num- ber and location of the Spanish troops. Before Joyce entered the United States army he had served with General Gar- cia and had traversed a good part of Santiago Province. He was on the ground only for a few weeks ago, leaving there in April and at that time he had opportunities to get | an accurate idea of the Spanish forces | at the eastern end of the island. He reports the number at 37,000, of which 12,000 are in Santiago, 10,000 at Holguin and 15,000 at Manzanillo. Once concen- trated at Santiago this would make a formidable army, but separated by for- | est and mountains. the insurgents are expected to keep the force at Holguin and Manzanillo from getting to Santi- |ago. One of the curious features of the situation was the opening of direct communication between the Spaniards in Santiago and the outside world over | the French cable, through the medium of an American military censor. This was effected to-day by the restoration of the circuit running from Santiago overland to the place on the shore within the American line—Playa del Este—where the cable begins which runs across to Cape Haytien. At the ijunct(nn sits the American army offl- cer who discharges the duty of censor. So far only test messages have gone through over this circuit. but it will be open to ordinary business that is able to pass successfully both American and Spanish censorship. The Naval Department has acquired the fine steamship Pedro. which was declared a prize, having been captured by the Nashville early in the war. She was bought subject to prize liens and was to-day christened Hector and or- dered to be converted into a collier. The steamer Norse Kin , just purchased, has been christened Rainbow and changed into a distiller to supply the fleet with pure water. WORK OF A FIREBUG. Business Section of Suisun Endan- gered by Incendiarism. SUISUN, June 2.—The people of Sul- sun were aroused by an alarm of fire at 12:45 o'clock this morning, and the Sui- sun Hotel, owned by Mrs. Kate Giddings, was discovered to be ablaze. The fire had gained some headway, but the fiire company soon had it subdued. The blaze was beyond question the work of an in- cendiary, and had it not been discovered just in time the business portion of the town would have been doomed. The owner of the hotel was away last night and left the place in charge of the cook, whose actions after the fire was extinguished led to his arrest. There being insufficient evidence to hold him, he was released to-day. It is reported the placeé was insured for $3400. The loss will amount to not more than $250. The of- ficers have been carefully investigating the cause of the fire. | e—————— Celebrate the Fourth with California fireworks. Buy direct from makers.

FAST BECOMING NOTORIOUS | RESULT OF THE POOLROOM | SCANDALS. | Even the Gamblers Supply a Lesson in Dignity to the Officials of the Marin Muni- cipality. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, June 25.—One brief month ago this little city was deemed an ideal pleasure resort, a cool and delightful spot where the warm sum- whiled away agreeably. To-day its natural beauty remains, and that Is its sole attraction. For the cause the chance visitor has only to look along Water street, the principal thoroughfare of the town. “Poolrooms”—that one word tells the story. - The town has been blighted by them, its good name dragged in the mud of | turmoil, and the decent citizens of the | community nauseated by the presence of a gang of inciters to law breaking, fighting and boodling. Three of the Trustees were elected on a poolroom platform and did their duty—if such a word may be used in that connection— by voting for the poolrooms. But when it came to the proposition of per- mitting two men, Harrison and Har- vey, to monopolize the profits of the business to please Christopher Buck- ley, there arose a rebellion. Up to that time the poolroom gamb- lers had acted decently enough, and, so far as mere personal behavior goes, they have since then. These men come | and go, thinking only of their gains and losses, and they never yet have in- sulted a woman in the town, notwith- standing the paragraphs of yellow journalism. But the townspeople have not de- ported themselves as well as the gam- | blers have—there lies the sting. There have been fist fights, wars of words, monetary corruption, cutting of tele- graph wires, and, finally, a threatened shooting scrape. The occasion seemed to be made for officials and “‘smooth” lawyers like Sylva, such picnic scrap- pers as Creed, such weakling justices as Bellrude and"Simpton and that riff- raff of a community hanging like vul- tures around every game of chance. These have been in their element. ‘Why the Trustees refused a license to the third comers can only be con- Jectured. A peculiar thing in this con- nection is that nearly every honest man will conjecture the same way. But | they did, and to their action may be | ascribed the lamentable results. When the wires in Broyer, Glynn & Hum- phreys’ rooms were cut the far-seeing townsmen saw coming relief to the town’s plight. The officials had leaped in one instance before they looked by tampering with the wires ¢f the com- pany doing business under a Govern- ment charter and bonded by the Gov- ernment. The company removed its wires, and in the expressive vernacular of “Billy” McMillan: “I guess the whole shooting match is over.” To-day Sylva, Harrison, Simpton and others were in San Francisco petition- ing Superintendent Jaynes to place their wires back. They were told that only when affairs ¥ere amicably settled and the scenes that have daily dis- graced not only a single city but scan- dalized a county and even brought the good name of the State Into disrepute were stopped would the wires be put back. As the San Mateo contingent seems inclined to continue the agita- | tion it seems as though this trio will have to be settled with before any pool- room can operate. To true sportsmen, those who have at heart the sport pa- tronized by royalty itself, there re- mains the hope that the town will dis- continue its disgraceful procedure, even if the “smooth” lawyer, the noblest scrapper of them all, the Justices that see law as others see it, and the whole gambling fraternity are forced to pick up their beds and walk. . To-day the town was quiet. The ac- tion of the Western Union Company in removing its wires from the favored pool-ooms after théy had been cut in the San Mateo trio’s place of business prevented resumption of operations and | the gamblers did not cross the bay in numbers.

Admitting that you have been the most stupid man on earth—will you ask what can be done for you? It will cost you nothing to find this out. Why not do it? Do you think that 20,000 men can be got together to tell the same lie? You know they can- not. Yet 20,000 men say that they have been cured— been made manly men by “Hudyan.” You may feel that you have transgressed teo much, but that is stupid. ‘‘Hudyan’’ has had to help much worse cases than yours. And it not oniy has helped them, but it has CURED them all. The army of grand, vigorous men whose blood goes pulsating to every part of their body to-day, who were weaklings months ago, is the evidence. Warm, burly, grand manhood is theirs to-day. It may be yours to-morrow—no mat- ter whether you have abused your stomach, your brain, your liver or any other organ of your body. The best medical advice is yours, too, if you will ask for it. No cent of expense. Tell your troubles and get the help. Blood taint is prevalent. If you notice any sign of it get the help of the physicians at the Institute. ‘‘Thirty-day Blood Cure’” drives all sus- picion out of the body at once. Like “Hudyan” it can be had on trial.
