PLAYA DEL ESTE, Aug. 6.—The auxillary crulser St. Louis has arrived here from Porto Rico under orders to assist in taking the TUnited States troops home from Santiago. Captain Goodrich thinks his ship is too long to enter the harbor and he will remain here until the matter is settled. The transport San Juan arrived from Santlago with troops and provisions and proceeded to Caimanera. The Ar- mesia has left for Key West. The fleet remains here, waiting orders from ‘Washington. Admiral Sampson expresses the hope that the peace negotiations will come to a quick conclusion. He is anxlous | to take aggressive action along the south coast without delay, or in the event of peace being concluded to im- mediately relieve the suffering im- Sampson’s keen appreciation of the suf- ferings of the Cubans and his endeav- ors to afford them relief have been a marked feature. The Potomac has recovered $10,000 from the Infanta Maria Teresa, which was driven ashore at the time Admiral Cervera attempted to escape from San- tlago. The transport Resolute, with marines aboard, is still here. The shore is deserted save for the cable opera- tions and our marines who are on guard. The newspapers containing Admiral Sampson’s report of the battle of July 3 arrived here last night. They were eagerly read throughout the fleet and the report created intense satisfaction. The universal confidence in and devo- tion to the admiral by the men under his command rendered this expression of feeling a foregone conclusion. GOLDEN SWORD GIVEN TO LIEUTENANT HOBSON Guests at Long Beach Present to the Naval Hero a Handsome Testimonial. LONG BEACH, N. Y., Aug. 6.—Lieu- posed by the rigor of the blockade. Siloeg Throughout the campaign Admiral tenant Hobson is the hero of Long Beach. All the guests of the hotel assembled in the parlors when it was learned that Lieu- tenant Hobson was to ‘be at Long Beach. Some one started a popular subscription for a testimonial to him and it was unani- mously agreed that a sword would be the proper thing. In a Short time $300 was in the hands of the treasurer. The committee appointed to meet the lieutenant in New York and escort him to Long Beach purchased the sword for $275. It is heavily laid with gold over handle and blade and interlined with em- bossed silver. It was presented to the lieutenant after dinner before the guests who crowded the parlors_and ball rooms, and made the walls ring with thelr cheers. Hobson received the sword and sald feel- ingly: “It is with the profoundest emotion that I receive and accept this beautiful token so spontaneously offered by this generous group. 1 cannot adequately express my appreciation and thanks. I have only to say that as long as my career shall con- tinue this emblem shall be dearly cher- ished and shall ever recall this occasion. ‘When perhaps I am far away and occa- sion may arise to use this sword, I can- not but feel that the thought of this oc- casion will Inspire its use for my coun- try’s honor. “I have to beg of you that you recall this simple, absolute fact—that the little inéldent at the front indicates nothing but only the status of your sailors afloat.” —- Steamship to Be Released. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The Govern- ment has ordered the release of the steamer Manoudia of the Compagnie Generale Trans-Atlantique of rance, captured by the American warshigs in West Indian waters and brought to Charleston, 8. C, CONVALESCENT OFFICERS ON THE LOUISIANA Forty From Santiago Under the Care of Surgeon Gardiner of the Red Cross. NEW YORK, Aug. 6—The United States transport Louisiana, Captain Frank Kemble, which left Santiago August 1, arrived at quarantine at 3:30 this afternoon, after a passage of five days. The Louisiana brings forty con- valescent officers and men under the care of Surgeon Gardiner of the Red Cross Soclety and Mrs. Gardiner. Health Officer Doty found all on board in a very satisfactory condition. The sanitary condition of the transport was excellent. The Louisiana brings twelve pouches of malil from Santiago, which will undergo fumigation before ngy are forwarded to the general post- office. Among the officers on the Louisiana were Iieutenant Colonel W. E. de Sala- zar and his brother, Major C. M. de Salazar, and Captain Mitchell Ellis, all of General La Crete's staff, Cuban army. None of the officers were at San- | tiago or near the surrender of General Toral. They came direct from Cuban headquarters at Cubitas to Santiago, where they went on board the Louisi- ana. They declined to talk when seen | at quarantine. CRUISER MARIA TERESA SUCCESSFULLY FLOATED Will Be Taken to Norfolk Under Her Own Steam and Placed in Repair. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The Mer- ritt-Chapman Wrecking Company has informed the Navy Department that the wreckers have succeeded in float- ing the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa and are about to start her under her own steam to Norfolk. The navy has nothing to do with this voyage, the wreckers having contracted to deliver any of the vessels of Cervera's fleet that might be recovered at Santiago. It is fully expected at the Navy De- partment that the Maria Teresa will require very extensive repairs, having |or without removal. J. Noonan, suffered not only from shot, shell and fire but also from a month’s submer- sion in the quickly fouling water of South Cuba. However, the repairs will certainly be made, for the sentimental reason alone is strong erough to war- rant the expenditure of money enough :9 put the ship into serviceable condi- ion. Sl St New Militia Company. SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 6.—The or- ganization of a new military com- pany to take the place of Company D, now at Camp Barrett, was effected last night. Lieutenant Murray called the meeting to order and presided, Al- bert Boyen acting as secretary. Ad- dresses were made by Superior Judge F. M. Angellotti, J. H. Wilkins, L. Frey and District Attorney E. B. Mar- tinelli. About ninety citizens signed the roll of the new company. s et Tarolinta a Stake Winner. LONDON, Aug. 6.—At the second day’s racing of the Lewes summer meeting to- day the Lorillard-Beresford stable's bay filly Tarolinta won the Priory stakes of 5 sovereigns for acceptors, with 200 sov- ereigns added, for two-year-olds.
