Watson's Trip to Spain Is Postponed, Not Abandoned.

A Batch of Miscellaneous Telegraph Mews from All Parts o " die World

'Off tat Porto Bicow Gen. Miles, leading the military expedition agahist Porto Kioo, started at S o'clock Thursday afternoon from Siboney, Cuba, lor Porto Eieo. Miles will wait at some appointed soot oa the roots for the expedition from lamps, Newport News and Ke York. These expeditions are already under way, some with two or three days' start; of Miles, so the delay should aot be lonp. After all the difficulty about a Bar convoy, and the first conclusion of the naval authorities that none was neeessaiy, the strength of that now furnished is (urprising. It consists of the battleship Massachusetts, the three powerful monitor:. Puritan, Terror and Am phi trite, which were ordered from Key West some days ago, the eruisers Cincinnati, New Orleans and Tale and the auxiliaries Annapolis, Wasp," Leyden, Gloucester and Dixie.

WILL CARRY THE WAR INTO SPAIN.

Watson Kxpedltlea. Secretary .Long ears that preparations lor dispatching Watson's squadron to European waters is going on uninterruptedly . The departure necessarily would await the movement ot warships at Porto Kico, the tfassachusetts and other shi-js being required for convoying troops to Porto Kko. This disposed of the report that thci expedition bad been abandoned.

Emiiio SL Castillo, President of the Span fc h Benevolent Society of New York, visited Admiral Cervera and the other Spanish prisoners nt Annapolis reesntly. Jle hai obtained permission from Secretary Long. He spent the day with Admiral Cervera and Capt. Eulata, woo told him that, beyond a lack of proper elothing, they had no hardships to endure. The main object ot Mr. Castillo's visit was to offer the Admiral a loan of whatever funds he needed. This was accepted, the Admiral giving an order for the amount on a Nt w Turk banking firm, which it is said has received a draft for 130,000 from the nranish Government for the imprisoned offliers. This u-jaoy is to be distributed among them in a few days, Mr. Castillo says.

Leaning back airainst a boggy seat, moving unsteadily from side to side with the movement of tie vehicle, the ashen hands grasping the reins, the eorpse of Edward McLaughlin, a prominent farmer of Cass County, Indiana, Jogged along the turnpike. The shocking spectacle was seen by ffi Ten shields, who stopped the horse, s xaightened the body and removed it to McLaughlin's home. The dead man was 63 years old, and it is juppcead that he waj stricken with heart disease on the road. He died instantly and the horse travel d several miles with the body. From Madrid, Madrid special: I: is believed that MeKinley is ruponsibht, for the bitch in the peace negotiations, and that the United States is determined to get a foothold in Porto Kioo and so lay claim to that island before considering peace. The Government does not believe Watson is coming. His ships are needed for the Porto Rico attack. Many Build i.iga Barawd. A disastrous fire visited the town of Grand Rapids, Wood County, Ohio, destroying Parkenstein s elothing store, F. HeaMr'j grocery, M Donald's hardware store. B. F. Kerr's dry goods store, L.

OUK SPANISH PRISONERS, They Presented a Pitiable Spectacle on Landine at Portsmouth. The Spanish prisoners captured by the American navy at Santiago rarived at Portsmouth. N. H., Sunday and the following day were taken ashore, where they are confined in huse barracks on Seavey's Island. A correspondent gives this description of the landing from the St. Louis: The first prisoner to land wss sleniler and about medium hoijrht. with n black beard. He wore two articles of clothing, a soiled canvas jumper and a pair of dirty canvas trousers. Ho was without hat or shoes, and looked with a curious, shifty glance at the old farm house and apple trees which monopolised the laud view. Behind him rami- the procession of prisoners. They were nearly all dressed in duck trousers and jumpers, although some had duck caps and a few blue shirts or ragged flannel coats. Nearly all were barefoot. . As they formed in irregular groups on the side of the steep incline they looked like castaways. They were a thin, hungry looking lot. without baggage and generally with dark, nnkemrt beards. They did not seem dissatisfied with their lot. The spectacle which the captured Spaniards presented when they came ashore was so pitiful on the whole, that the Yankee crowd expressed good will and pity rather than hatred.

TOHAL WILL BE TRIED. Madrid Government Gave the Spanish General No Instructions. Madrid advices say that the conditions of surrender agreed to by Gen. Toral are opposed to the military code, and have created a painful impression in the army. Captain General Blanco repudiates responsibility for the capitulation. The ministers do not believe that the troops outside of Santiago were included in the surrender, and they anticipate that some of them will refuse to lay down their arms. Gen. Tornl will be court martialed for surrendering Santiago to the Amer-

9ESERAI. PANDO.

iotas, but it is not probable that he will be punished. The Government did not authorize the surrender, hut instructed Captain General Blanco to leave the initiative to Gen. Toral. The military code prescribes imprisonment for life for any officer who surrenders the forces of fortified posts which, although dependent tipon his command, are not included in tinaction causing capitulation. Torni's surrender will be submitted to the supreme military council. All the ministers repudiate responsibility for the surrender of

Santiago and other places in eastern Cuba.

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS. It Baa Been Such that Not a Single Case of Blood Poisoning: Is Reported. As soon aa a surgeon reaches a wounded man his first act is to bathe the wound with bichloride of mercury and dress it with antiseptic gauze, and Dr. Van Reypen, the surgeon general of the navy, says that thus far in the war not a single case of Mood poisoning had been reported. Among the 450 wounded men at Portress Monroe there is not one who is suffering from inflammation nor one whose wounds are discharging pus. The mercury kills all germs, keeps the laeerated flesh sweet and clean and causes it to heal rapidly. No lint is used in dressing; sterilize. I gauxe is found much better in all respects.

KANZANILLO BOMBARDED. fieven American Warships Attnck the Headquarters of Pando. Manzanillo, which is on the western count of Santiago province, about ninety miles from Santiago, was bomburded Monday by seven American warships. Two Spanish gunboats the Delgndo and the Paraja resisted the attack and wen- set on fire by shells from the American vessels. The gunboats were burned to the water's edge. Many of the t-panLsh sailors were killed by the explosion of tinshells. PREDICTS WAR WITH CUBANS. Army Officer Fays Fltatinu; Will BoBin Within Two Weeks. At Norfolk, Vn., an army officer of wide experience and intimate knowledge of the Cubans made the startling prediction that "within two weeks we shall lie iightliiK the Cubans." He said further: "The Cubans are already dissatisfied with

American methods. They want to kill their prisoners, and cannot understand

why we do not allow them to do so. rney

do not want to be annexed to the i'nited States, and the end of it is going to be a

fight with a people whose cause we have espoused." . More Men to Manila,

LAYS DOWN THE LAW. Dewey Informs Germans They Must Obey lllorknile Hcgttbitinns. Dewey is master of Manila harbor, and has found it necessary to Inform the German admiral, Von Diedi-iehs, of that fact on several occasions. Several days ago the German cruiser Irr-tn?, following out Dicdrichs' utter disregard ol international blockade law, attempted to sail past the Americans and refused to answer the McCulloch's signal to slop. A shell across the bow of the Irene hrought it to a stop. Dewey demanded that Diedriehs observe the international laws in their strictest interpretation, mid took rcoasion to point out several flagrant viohitioi.s. The Gorman replied in a most courteous fashion, mid declared that the nets specified by Dewey were committed without his knowledge, and were the result of ignorance on the part of his men. When the German learned of the Irene incident, however, his mild manner disappeared, and he complained that unnecessary severity was used in bringing to the cruisers. Admiral Dewey planked down the law in reply In the firmest and most vigorous terms, giving the German to understand that he fully approved the action of the McCtilloch and would repeat it if circumstances demanded it.
