It prob- | ably will be necessary to shell out the force defending these wire chevaux de frise before they can be cut, unless the men in charge of that duty are to be unduly exposed to danger. This will involve a larger use of field artillery, than would be required in ordinary | warfare. The lines are being tightened around Cuba, and it will soon be impossible for | even small quantities of food or war | supplies to reach the Spanish there. The proclamation issued to-day, ex- tending the blockade to the south coast and to San Juan, it is believed will ac- complish this result. On the south coast the Isle of Pines will be cut off as a transfer depot for cattle and food supplies comi~~ from Jamaica and Central America. By closing San Juan harbor the Spaniards will lose the last chance of smuggling war supplies to Cuba and the future operations of the army and navy looking to the occupa- tion of the island of Porto Rico will be materially advanced by the establish- ment of a successful blockade. | BLANCO’S TYPEWRITER MUCH IN EVIDENCE Official Report That Americans Were Repulsed in the Fighting Near Sevilla. the | | other to Morro Castle, at the entrance | \WATCHING BOMBARDMENT OF FORT OPPOS!

In fact, the chances are ten to one General Pando will be unable to get his forces in the vicinity before the Americans attack Santiago. One of General Shafter’s reasons for rushing preparations .for the attack is to pre- vent the possibility of such action on the part of General Pando. General Shafter was accompanied into camp to-day by Colonel John Ja- cob Astor, Captain Stewart M. Brice, Lieutenant Noble, Lieutemant Miley and ‘other members of his staff, Complaints are heard that there are too many Cubans co-operating with General Shafter's army in this cam- paign. The Cubans, it is alleged, are eating- everything in sight and leaving little for our troops. I CHEERING NEWS FROM GENERAL SHAFTER His Army Making Splendid Progress and Re-enforcements Have Arrived. WASHINGTON, June 28.—The War Department late this afternoon posted the following: JAIQUIRI e 27, via Playa del Este, e 25.—S y of War: The Yale ar- d this morning all right. Troops now disembarking. Your son, who has been at the front as : signed to duty Major General. OFF SIBONE June 27, 9 p. m., via Playa del Este.—Adjutant General, Wash- ington: All is progressing well. 'We oc- cupfed to-day an adv ositlon abap- doned by the enemy yesterday on the Se- villa and Santiago road, west of San Juan River, within three miles of Santiago and from which it can be plainly seen. SHAFTER, Major General Commanding. It was very late in the day when the first dispatch within two days came to the War Department from General Shafter, but the news was regarded as 80 good that there was no disposition to complain. It disclosed a very satis- factory rate of progress on the part of General Shafter toward the town of Santiago itself, and, apparently he has gained all the ground and has come within three miles of Santlago without suffering any losses since the skirmish of Friday lagt. Altogether the per-} 1 eral Shafter and General (‘xarci_a‘ camped under the protection of their s | ships’ guns.” It is denied that several wagon loads | of wounded Spaniards were taken into the city of Santiago de Cuba. It is said General Linares’ troops fought under | cover and that their losses are definite- ly known to be a captain and seven sol- | diers killed and two leutenants and twelve men wounded. According to the dispatches from Ha- vana, “the American troops are already suffering seriously from disease.” The latest dispatch from General Li- nares says nothing new has occurred, but “he confirms the report of the land- | ing at Banes of Sanguilly, Lacret, Be- | tancourt and a thousand rebel§ with | artillery and 500,000 cartridges.’? | AT THE FRONT ON THE RIO GUAMA, June 27 (per the Associated € | Press dispatch boat Wanda, via King- | ston, Jamaica, June 28).—It is announc- | ed on very high authority that almost 20,000 Spanish soldiers have arrived at | Santiago de Cuba since the American advance began, and it is added that General Pando may be able to effect a Jjunction with Linares at Santiago de Cuba. - WARSHIPS OF SPAIN CROSSING THE ATLANTIC Report That Part of Camara’s Fleet Is Now on Its Way to Porto Rico. LONDON, June 28.—The Star to-day prints a story from a foreien corre- pondent to the effect that a part of Admiral Camara’s fleet left him off Algeciras, near Gibraltar, and is now there for three weeks past. The correspondent adds: “This fleet will attack Admiral Sampson in the rear, while Admiral Cervera attempts a sortie simultaneously with the com- mencement of the land battle. Thus | Admiral Sampson will be too preoccu- | pied to help General Shafter.” GENERAL JIMINEZ IN PRISON AT NASSAU Santo Domingo Conspirator to Be Tried for Breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act.

P, June 28.—General | Jiminez, instigator of the rebellion against President Heureaux of Santa Domingo, arrived here to-day from Inagua under arrest. He was locked up, bail being refused.

First, the rebels, influenced by for- eign Consuls or inflated by their sur- | prising success under arms, have changed their tone and now want com- | plete independence. Aguinaldo already | has issued a circular saying it is prob- able he will invite the European pow- ers to recognize and guarantee the complete independence of the Philip- pines. This leader in his complete ig- norance of diplomacy and how to deal | | with European diplomats will soon in- | | volve himself inextricably in complic: tions, the first of which tvill be a rup- | ture with his American protectors, | which is what Germany is aiming to secure. Should European nations in- terfere in the Philippines so much jeal- | ousy would ensue it would be hopeless for them to try to arrive at a satisfac- tory result, and the only way of escape would be by means of a general war or a return of the islands to Spain. In that case Spain would require inter- national help to restore order. The delay of American troops when their presence is of vital importance AGUINALDO INCLINED TO | would become divided among the great | ceeded to Tloilo. DEFIANT proves the United States was not pre- pared for war with Spain and is power- less to oppose » European combina- tion. Would England engage in a big | war to gain joint supremacy in the Philippines? If Aguinaldo is idiotic enough to de- rt his American protectors and throw himself into the hands of the European | powers he will display ignorance of | European methods in arranging affairs. There can be only one or two results of this policy—either the Philippines powers or be placed by them under Spanish rule again. In the latter case God help the Phil- ippines. They would have to pay for Spain’s eventual defeat and pay the in- demnity to the Americans also. During the recent rebellion Aguinaldo found it no easy matter to maintain order and one Andreas Bonifacio, who conspired against his life, was captured after a severe fight and shot as a traitor. How Aguinaldo, knowing the whole island is in a ferment, can sup- pose he or any Philippine combination could govern the islands without the help of foreign power is inconceivable. It is stated Aguinaldo had an inter- view with the German admiral, Died- richs, yesterday. His small steam launch was circling around the German flagship, but I could not see that any one was allowed aboard. The Rustler called in here and pro- Eleven provinces in Cuzon have declared themselves inde- pendent, probably all by this time, but the news filters slowly to Manila. Not a single one of the Spaniards escaped from the province of Manila and no letters or messengers arrived. All the Spanish prisoners were taken to Cavite. Some 200 sick or wounded were brought to Manila from Cavite on the 21st. They report a food shortage there, but other- wise they were well treated. DEATH-DEALING EARTHOUAKES MANY CASUALTIES REPORTED. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY IS VERY GREAT. At Rieta, Near Rome, the Barracks Were Demolished and the Populace Was Panic- Stricken, Special Dispatch to The Call. ROME, June 28.—Two sharp earth- quake shocks were felt this morning at Rieta, forty-two miles from here. The worst one was at 9 a. m. It lasted nine seconds and a number of buildings were damaged. The Carbineer Bar- racks were rendered uninhabitable and shock injured a number of people and killed one child,. - . An earthquake shock was also felt last night around Aquita, capital of the province of that name, eighteen miles northeast of this city and along the Antrodoco Valley. A number of nouses collapsed, one person was killed and a dozen were injured. Five peasants were killed and several others injured at Santa Rufina, near Aquita. A number of houses fell and several per- sons were killed by a shock which ce- curred at the village of Capovello. | NINE THOUSAND MEN | TO JOIN THE INVADERS Orders for Another Expedition to Santiago, Including Six Bat- teries of Artillery. WASHINGTON, June 28.—Orders have been issued for the departure of another large army expedition from Tampa, composed of about 9000 men of the Second Division of the Fourth Army Corps, under command of Brigadier General Snyder, and six batteries of ar- tillery, three light and three heavy. Twelve transports are to carry the expedition. They will move first to Key West, at which point a strong na- val convoy will meet them and escort the expedition tn Santiago. The con- voy will probably include one battle- ship and several cruisers and auxiliary cruisers. General Snyder’s second division of the Fourth Army Corps is now at Tam- pa and is made up of three brigades and nine regiments. The batteries will be designated by General Randolph, in command of the artillery at Tampa. This will bring Shafter’s force up to about 30,000 men, made up of the 16,000 men he took with him, General Duf- field’s command on the Harvard and Yale, General Garretson’s command, which will go on the same steamers, and General Snyder's expedition from Tampa. MORE TROOPS FOR MERRITT Twenty-One Thousand Men All Told. THE FIRST NEW YORK COMING ORGANIZING THE LAST TWO EX- PEDIT10NS. Washington Officials Hope to See the | Final Fleet on Its Way to Manila by the First of August. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, June 28.—The un- derstanding at the War Department is that the total number of regulars ani | velunteers which will be dispatched to Manila in command of Major General Merritt will approximate 21,000 men. Ot these 10,000 already have left San Fran- cisco in three separate expeditions. With the troops now at San Francisco and those on their way to that city the remainder of the Eighth Corps will ba made up. The Wyoming Battery of Light Ar- tillery arrived at San Francisco to- day, while the First Regiment of New York Volunteers yesterday re- ceived the order to proceed to San Francisco for duty with the Philippine expedition. This regiment has been quartered in several of the forts around New York harbor, and is commanded by Colonel Thomas M. Barber. The First will form an important addition to General Merritt's corps, as'the ex- pectation is that it will be recruited to its full maximum strength of 1326 men before starting on its long trip to the coast. The fourth expedition to the Philip- pines is scheduled to start somewhere between the 6th and 10th of July, and arrangements for it are making at ‘Washington and at San Francisco. The fifth and probably the last of the series of expeditions the officials now hope to see launched on its way by the 1st of August. The expectation being that some of .the transports used in the | first expedition will have returned from | Manila before that time and be ready to start again across the Pacific with American troo board. | NOMINATIONS SENT i BY THE PRESIDENT | Army and Navy Appointments nnd} Promotions for the Senate’s | Consideration. | WASHINGTON, June 28—The Presi- dent sent these nominations to the Senate | to-day: | Navy—Lieutenant Commander Conway | | H.
