The Spanish expect help in the shape of four big cruisers. A notable feature at the obsequies of Captain Gridley at Yokohama was the guard of honor, consisting of fifty Japanese sailors. British and American flags were twined together everywhere. eRETURN OF MR. DEPEW. Dr. Chnanery Speaks of H!s Observations Abroad. NEW YORK, June 30.—Chauncey M. Depew returned to-day on the German steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and was welcomed by a la*ge party of friends, who went down the bay on a New York Central tug. He afterward spoke freely of his observations and experiences abroad. Regarding the sentiment toward the United States, he said that In France was most bitter against this country. Every paper in the city of Paris, except three unimportant ones, published right along articles that have not changed any in tone from the beginning, showing the greatest hostility. It was believed there that the object of the United States in beginning the war waa extension of her territory or imperial extension, and the same opinion seemed to prevail In Germany. In .Englnd there was a complete reverse of sentiment. Six weeks’ time had changed the sentiment of ninety-five years, and all animosities were buried by the tide of sympthy and universal approval and a feeling of relationship which was binding against the world. Regarding the interviews in Paris and X<ondon which had been quoted of him he •aid that In Pane he had given an interview to the Temps and Matin, after having been •ought by these papers, and in that interivlew gave a history of what led up to the war. When it was published all the papers took it up, the truth of some of the statements was denied and there was a general discussion, both in French and Spanish pampers, which resulted in educating the people mbout the United States and enlightening their ignorance, which seemed complete. He •aid Dewey’s victory had a marked beneficial effect in arousing respect for the United States. There had been a general belief that our ships were no good and that our army, while being composed of good men, was gathered rrom the field and had no experience or training. In place of what was expected it was discovered that cur vessels were of the soundest construction, up to the most modern type of war ■hip, with armament unexcelled and manned and officered by skilled seamen and tacticians, while the army had displayed tall the qualities of veteran troops. Mr. Depew further said that the rest of Europe is anxiously watching the apprehended entrance of the United States into their circle in the far East. Their position Is one of distrust. They are trying to solve the problem of the influence upon their interests of that Anglo-American alliance, which they think either exists or is inevitable. Even if disposed to interfere in our war they are restrained by the belief that any pnovement in that direction would pre cipitaie an alliance with England. Tneir newspapers discuss our unpreparedness for war, the impossibility of our being a military power until we have a large standing army and universal compulsory military service. The victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila *md the daring and splendid effort of lieutenant Hobson at Santiago have done incalculable service in convincing continental Europe of our fighting calibre and arousing enthusiasm in England. English statesmen whom we met all said: “Keep the Philippines. share with us China and open ports in the East.” One said: “You'must join the concert of European nation:?. It is expensive, but you cannot be an Eastern power unless you belong to the band. Our Interests will always be identical and the mutual benefits incalculable.” “They rally good naturedly,” said Mr. Depew, “on our protestations of pure.sentiment in this war, and say: ’Yes, that'is the way we always get in. and then we stay. Christianity and civilization demand it, you know, and we give the beggars liberty, law, order end justice, which they never had before. It’s in your blood. You have come by it honestly. You have aroused the appetite of earth hunger and you cannot stop.’ ” * Mr. Depew was tendered a reception tofiight at the Republican Club, of which he is president, at which over 300 people were present.

An English Yellow Journal Story* LONDON, June 30.—The Star to-<lny says It has grounds for "believing the European powers will not consider Rear Admiral Dewey justified” in opposing a landing of foreign marines, "as Manila is still under Spanish rule.” Continuing the Star remarks: “A foreign correspondent assures us that the German occupation is already an accomplished fact.” i Inquiries made on the subject show that the Star's story About the situation at Man la is utterly discredited here, and inquiries at the embassies show that the diplomats here have not heard of any such occurrence as tne landing of German forces '.t or near Manila. A. O. H. Adopt* Yew Ritual. TRENTON. N. J., June 30.-The Ancient Order of Hibernians in convention to-day adopted the new ritual provided and recommended by Bishop McFaul.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 30.—The Indiana music teachers opened to-day’s session with an organ solo by Miss Eva Linn, and this was followed by Miss Grace Alexander’s paper on “Musical Criticism from a Critic’s Standpoint,” which was an intelligent argument on the justice of competent criticism and a deserved rebuke of the incompetent’s efforts.

Dr. Ridpath for Congress Again. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., June 30. It may be taken as a certainty that Dr. John Clark Ridpath, who made the race for Congress in this district two years ago against George W. Faris, will again be the nominee of the Democrats in the Fifth district, and will probably be indorsed by the Populists, with whom he is known to be popular. It was given out some time ago that Dr. Ridpath would not accept the nomination on account of his time being taken up with the control of the Arena Magazine in Boston, but he has probably made his arrangements so that he can make the race again.

(Conrlnded from First Pace.) regulations would assume command of the army in front of that, place. Therefore it is likely that he will be reserved for the command of the, Porto Rican expedition. Tons of mail matter for the soldiers and sailors operating in Santiago province and with Sampson's fleet are stored at Tampa awaiting transportation. Arrangements have been made through the efforts <of Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn by which the transports leaving Tampa are to ship this mail matter as fast as practicable. On reaching the headquarters of the army in Santiago province the mall will be distributed in accordance with arrangements which may be made under the direction of the commanding general. Four clerks have been detailed from the Postoffice Department in connection with this service, and judging from t x he amount of letters and papers now at Tampa their work promises to be rather a formidable one. For sending the mail from Santiago to the United States the military commanders will avail themselves of the use of the transports or other vessels which may be leaving that section of Cuba.

SEEKING MORE TRANSPORTS. War Department Negotiating with Ship Owner*—Beef for Soldier*. WASHINGTON, June 30.—Negotiations still continue between the War Department and ship owners for the purchase of additional vessels for army transportation service. Word came to the department to-day that the Mohawk and Mississippi, of the Atlantia transport line, would be ready for the water by Saturday 'afternoon. They are at New York, in dock, having their bottoms scraped. ’When ready their destination probably will be somewhere on the Florida coast, the Mohawk to Tampa, and the Mississippi to Jacksonville. The former has a large capacity for carrying refrigerated beef and this will be availed of by the commissary department in forwarding supplies to the soldiers. The Mississippi, if she goes to Jacksonville, will be utilized in shipping some of the cavalry from that place to Santiago or to Porto Rico, as may hereafter be determined. Both vessels can carry a large number of cavalrymen, with their horses and equipments. Other vessels of the Atlantic line will be overhauled as soon as they reach port from abroad. It was stated at the War Department today that, notwithstanding the reports from Chtckamauga, only fifteen regiments are under orders to be sent away from that place at an early date and that their destination is Tampa. The arrangements which the Commissary Department is making for supplying beef for the army and starving Cubans contemplate the assignment to that service of probably four or five vessels when the demands of the service justify it and the United States troops have been landed at other points in Cuba and the campaign against Havana has been commenced. For the past two months a number of vessels have been sent to Cuba with supplies for the Cuban army and the suffering people, amounting in all to several hundred thousand rations. The sum of $5,000,090 has be6h placed at the disposal of the Commissary Department for supplying the army with beef and feeding the Cuban 4rmy and reconeentrados. When other points in the island are occupied the supply ships will make round trips in every ten days or thereabouts, and, in addition to carrying food, wjll also take material for the quartermasters and other departments of the army. A regular ferry service will be established between Tampa and the various ports in Cuba. At Miami, where General Schwan commands a division, the Commissary Departin' nt has concentrated one million rations, indicating l the probability of troops being sent there for some time and the addition of others in the future. Want* More Catliolie Chaplains. BALTIMORE, June 30.—Cardinal Gibbons went to Washington to-day, where he had an interview with President McKinley regarding more Catholic chaplains being appointed to the army. On his return home tonight his Eminence said his visit to the chief executive was a most pleasant one. He said: “I was most cordially received by the President and had quite a lengthy interview with him. I set forth to him the great number of Catholic young men who are now in the army and navy, fighting and ready at a moment to defend their country, and howicomparatively few Catholic chaplains there are with the army to look after their special religious welfare. My interview was most satisfactory, but I cannot now give any details as to how many or what particular Catholic chaplains wii) be sent to the soldiers.” The cardinal declined to say that he had received any instructions from Rome for overtures toward negotiations to bring the war to an end. Cooper to Command the Chicago. WASHINGTON, June 30.—Captain P. H. Cooper, superintendent of the Naval Academy, has been selected to command the cruiser Chicago. This vessel is one of the pioneers in the new navy and was the flagship of the white squadron which visited Europe several years ago. She has recently undergone extensive alterations and her efficiency increased many fold, until she now compares favorably with other vessels of her class in foreign navies. Other officers assigned to the vessel are Lieut. C. H. Colahan and Engineer Dixon. The Chicago w ill be ready to go into commission in about a month. Won’t Hurt Them.

We are not so sure, unless the analogy is confined strictly to potatoes.

Let our sons and grandsons go on with their potato picking. Certainly. Washington Post.

Special Correspondence of the Associated Press. (Copyright.) GUANTANAMO HARBOR, Cuba. June 21.—A boisterous night, with a nasty beam wind and a punishing sea, and the Associated Press boat Wanda,'from Kingston, came rollicking, like a petrel, round Point Morant, and, heading almost due north, was making for Santiago de Cuba. And, all of of a sudden, up from the deep blue billows of the midnight sea, there glistened out all along the horizon a coronet of noble" jewels —necklace fit for the throat of a queen—diamonds, emeralds and ruby, the signal lights of a great squadron of some forty vessels, rocking under easy steam in the deep. And as they rolled through the waves the stars seemed to come down to meet the Great Bear, his lowest stars swinging just behind the lamps of the Indiana, the Southern cross mingling its bright lights with the gems that made so beautiful a night. We had chanced, by good fortune, upon the long-expected transport fleet, taking some 20,000 men to the attack of the southern coast of Cuba, escorted by a powerful convoy of men-of-war. Perhaps it is that the outward and visible signs of war thrill me more than they do most civilians; perhaps it is that blood is really “thicker than water, that looking out upon the noble constellation of flashing ships I feel myself half an American. Anyhow, the fact remains that 1 feel proud of our common “AngloSaxon'’ kinship and, sympathetic as I must needs be with the ruin of a nation of most ancient fame, gazed upon the scene with something warmer, more enthusiastic, than mere English feelings.

A scouting gunboat, ablaze with color, at once discovered us, made friendly prize of us, questioned us and let us go, and till dawn we lay there in a little yacht, rocking on the swell among the great company of leviathans. At daybreak we watched them bulkily awaking into life, taking their places (with a monstrous leisureliness) in the sailing line, and with the flagship ahead and war ships thrown well out on e’ther flank, steaming away along the coast to the eastward towards Guantanamo. How empty the sea seemed without these behemoths, black and gray; how terribly insignificant of speed and power those wisps of ugly smoke below the horizon. And, meanwhile we were steering to the westward and far away approached St. Jago de Cuba. THE MORRO OF ST. JAGO. A sharp tropical squall caught us as we went, pelting us with raindrops as keen and sharp* as hailstones and ermining all the black sea with points of silver. But we ran through it very soon and as the rising sun caught the rain laden air I saw for the first time the beautiful phenomenon of the double rainbow. One arch started, so it seemed, from our very keel, and spanned only the few miles of sea between us and the flanking squadron. For the other, Iris er ! ° n Sest, brightest, broadest, riband, the one end dipped in the sea sottiew here on the farther side of the. scene and the other was lost beyond the blfie haze of the Cuban hills. And thus it was that I first saw the Morro of St. Jago under the arches of the rainbow. There are those who have written of this fine old Rhine castle in the Caribbean sea in contemptuous scorn, not merely as a fortress, unsuited, by the misfortune of its antiquity, to oppose the scientific terrors of modern offense, but as a building no longer of any use to anybody.” i cannot understand the tone of mind that, even tinder the olstorting stress of war, can write like this in the public press of so picturesque and to America, so precious a building. Granted it is no fort it is a thing of beauty, like nothing in America proper, graced with a reverend antiquity. The squadron should spare it if they can. There is nothing to be ashamed of in respect for an old past, nor in the sentiment of reverence. Compare it with the brutal objects, abominations of machinery and steel, ungainly in the very fullness of their power, the ugly battle ships and uglier monitors, unlovely scows dynamite crafts, torpedo boats and "converted colliers”—a wicked looking congregation of life-takers. Compare these with the gentle contours of the old Morro;“so pathetic in the rays of the setting suh. It'is like comparing the beautiful rounded wreaths of steam that curl and float away behind a railway train, with the angularity of the cars and engines that go racing forward. 6 JURAGUA AND BAIQUIRI. The coastline around St. Jago is resplendent, the rocky hills have a rough fleece of scrub which is patched as if with mange, showing bare leprous spots of ruddy underearth. We pass the noble looking old fort, perched like the castle of some mediaeval robber baron upon the crest and brow of the crags and, trailing its lower levels of don-jon-keep in the waters of the bay, to Juragua, where iron mines were worked "before the war.’’ The white cottages of the miners still stand dotted about among the uninviting hills, or scattered along the beach, a shore most inviting to eyes accustomed to the more comfortable outlines of Europe, ana lamentable by contrast with tne wealth of beauty, the superb contours of Jamaica. But soon the coast alters. The mountains, lying back from the sea, sand down about their feet, softly undulating lines of hills, gentle heralds, as it were, of the sterner upper heights and the foreshore is broken into outlying ramparts, the “first line of defense" of the imperious hills behind, rounded knolls, great cushions of green upon coral strands. Half islands they seem, and littie harbors and bays break away between them from the sea. each margined With narrow strips of sand—what shells must be strewn upon those inlets—bush, dense and deep, creeps with jealous accuracy of outline. And when the setting sun caught tne coasts, the rugged hills looked like crumpled velvet, the bush a close-piled plush. Groups of white houses straggled down through the green foliage to the water's edge, very sad in their forlornness, roofless some of them, desolate all. And here is a great iron pier, ten trucks in a row, all standing on it, rusty and red, waiting for the creak of the crank, the push of the strong arm to start them into life again. And the day is not far distant, for this is Baiquiri, this queer little harbor with its sad its little iron pier upon which to-morrow the electrifying hand of war will be laid—to-morrow, and Baiquiri knows nothing of the awful change that is coming, the old hills know nothing and the unruffled harbor knows nothing and all are dreaming together as if the past was to be the future. And yet, I know that to-morrow, before the sun sets, the leviathans that I saw lying spangled with signal lights upon the sea last night will be clustered round this little port, that the rattle of small arms will shake all the folk in fuss and feathers that live in that slumbering bush, that the wails of the machine guns will send the terns, that now float asleep upon the tranquil waters of the bay, out screaming in alarm to the sea, and the angry voices of fieldguns awaken the long-distant echoes of the majestic lakes. What a dawn is that of tomorrow. What a day it is that is about to break. The life story of a people begins anew. To-morrow the Anglo-Saxon lays upon the island the hand, under the touch of which every country leaps with fresh existence and renewed youth, drinking the new air of freedom and starting regirded about the loins for anew race to run. the goal of which is peace, honor and tranquillity under lav/. PH IE ROBINSON. THINGS TO SEND TO CAMP. Pipes, Socks. Pins and Stomped Envelopes Are in Demand. New York Tribune. As soon as the volunteer army began to move south to the various camps of instruction. friends and relatives made up packages for the men at the front, and in many instances these remembrances from home reached Chickamauga and Tampa before the men arrived there. Many of these parcels contained articles which might well have been dispensed with, and great quantities of "truck” are being forwarded daily because the well-meaning senders are uninformed as to what a soldier really needs. .Among the useless things, according to the testimony of a veteran of the civil war, are cigars and cigarettes. Men can tak*no comfort with either in the field, and prefer a pipe, and thousands who never thought of using tobacco in that form be fore they enlisted will become addicted to the chewing habit. Tobacco dealers say that the chewing tobacco business received a great boom during and after the civil war.

and that the bad water of the South was responsible for a generation of tobaccochewerg. Highly respectable elderly men excuse themselves for using chewing tobacco by saying that they acquired the habit “down South, when everybody had to chew." There seems to be good reason to believe that the waning demand will grow larger, and that chewing tobacco will again become a necessity. A soldier writing from a Southern camp says: “We can get along without candy and cakes and all that sort of stuff, but no man can have too many pairs of good socks or stockings, and there is always room in his kit for a few extra pins, safety pins and some sewing material. Writing material is also a good thing to have, and stamped envelopes with the address already written on them in ink are looked upon here as articles of the highest luxury. When your letter leaves in a stamped envelope on which the address Is plainly written with ink. or printed, you will feel that some day it will 'get there,' a matter as to which there is always a doubt when the letter is unstamped and goes as soldiers’ mail. And by the way—when you make up packages for tho boys in the field, don't forget to send us some war news.” ALL WAS QUIET. (Concluded from First Pnge.)

The American officers generally expect a movement to-day to capture Caney. v hich is a short five miles northeast of Santiago. This, however, is not official. Such t movement may draw the Spaniards in force from Santiago; but, in view of their previous retreat when our army might have been seriously harassed on the march, an aggressive move upon the part of the Spaniards is considered unlikely.

WHEELERS OFFICIAL REPORT.. Details of the Battle of Siboney— Praise for Those Engaged. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) CAMP JURAGUA, June 29, via Kingston. Jamaica. June 30. 8 a. m.—General Wheeler’s official report to Major General Shafter of what is known as the battle of Siboney is as follows: “In Camp Juragua, June 29. "To the Adjutant General of the Fifth Army Corps: "Sir—l have the honor to report that, in obedience to the instructions of the major general commanding, given me in person on June 23, I proceeded to Siboney t.luraguasito.) The enemy had evacuated the place at daylight that morning, taking a course towards Sevilla. A body of about one hundred Cubans had followed and engaged the enemy’s rear guard. About nine of them were wounded. “I rode out to the front and found the enemy had halted and established themselves at a point about three miles from Siboney. At night the Cubans returned to the vicinity of the town. At 8 o’clock that evening the Twenty-third, General Young, reached Siboney with eight troops of Col. Wood’s regiment. A, B, D, E, F. G, K and L, five hundred strong; troops A, B, C and K, First Cavalry, in all 244 men, and troops A, B, E and I of the Tenth Cavalry, In all 220 men, making the total force 964 men, which included nearly all of my command, which had marched from Baiquiri, eleven miles. * “With the assistance of General Castillo, a rough map of the country was prepared and the position of the enemy was fully explained. I determined to make an attack at daylight on the 24th. Colonel Wood’s regiment was sent by General Young, accompanied by tw T o of his staff officers, Lieuts. Tyrree R. Rivers and W. R. Smedburg, jr., to approach the enemy on the left hand, or more westerly road, while General Young, myself and about fifty men of the First and Tenth Cavalry, with three Hotchkiss mountain guns, approached the enemy on the regular Sevilla road. "General Young and myself examined the position of the enemy, the lines were deployed, and I directed him to open fire with the Hotchkiss guns. The enemy replied and the firing immediately became general. Col. Wood had deployed his right, nearly reaching the left of the regulars. For an hour the fight was very warm, the enemy being very lavish in the expenditure of ammunition, most of their firing being by volleys. Finally the enemy gave way and retreated rapidly, our side keeping well closed on them; but, our men being physically exhausted by both their exertions and tne great heat, were incapable of maintaining the pursuit. “I cannot speak too highly of the gallant and excellent conduct of the officers and men throughout my command. General Young deserves special commendation for his cool, deliberate and skillful management. I also specially notice his acting adjutant general, Lieut. A. L. Mills, who. under General Young's direction, was at various parts of the line, acting with energy and cool courage. “The iinperativo necessity of disembarking with promptitude had impelled die to leave most of my staff to hasten to this important matter, and, unfortunately, I only had with me Major W. D. Beach and Mr. Mestro, an acting volunteer aid, both of whom during the engagement creditably and bravely performed their duties. I am especially indebted to Major Beach for his cool and good judgment. “Colonel Wood’s regiment was on the extreme left of the line, and too far distant for me to be a personal wi. ess of the Individual conduct of the office, sand men, but the magnificent bravery shown by the regiment under the leadership of Colonel Wood testifies to his skill and the energy and courage of his officers, which has been marked ever since he reported to me at Tampa. I have abundant evidence of his brave conduct on the field, and I recommend him for the consideration of the government. I must rely on his report to do justice to his officers and men. I desire personally to add that all I have said regarding Colonel Wood applies equally to Lieut. Col. Roosevelt. “I was immediately with the troops of the First and Tenth Regiments, Cavalry, dismounted, and I personally noticed their brave and good conduct, which will be specially mentioned by General Young. I personally noticed the good conduct of Captains W. H. Berk, Robert P. Wainwright and Jacob G. Galbraith. Maj. Jas. M. Bell, Capt. Thomas T. Knox and Lieut. George E. Browrn. The last three were wounded. Major Bell, as he lay on the ground with a broken leg, said: ‘I only regret I can’t go with you further.’ Captain Knox, though severly wounded, continued as long as possible to exercise his command, and insisted to me that he was not much hurt, and Lieutenant Brown also made light b f his wound and continued upon the line until he fainted. I recommend those officers for the favorable consideration of the government. “I cannot state positively as to the size of the Spanish forces which we engaged or the extent of thpir casualties further than that the force was much greater than ours, and that information I have would indicate that their killed and wounded very far exceeded the loss which our troops sustained, hut our estimate on these points can only be verified when we have access to the reports of the Spanish commanders. The engagement inspired our troops and must have had a bad effect on the spirits of the Spanish soldiers. It also gave our army a beautiful and well watered country, in wfflich we have established our encampments. It has also given us a full view of Santiago and the surrrounding country, and ha* enabled us to reconnoitcr close to the fortifications of that place. Very respectfully.

The bathhouses are kept scrupulously clean, and there are dozens of attendants to wait on the children and maintain good order.” Our Own Affair. Baltimore American. There is no reason why this country should not depart from the traditions of our fathers if circumstances require such a departure. It is we, and not our fathers who are living at present, and who are affected by the policies shaping our destiny. Besides, to live always according to traditions would be to cut loose from progress at once, and allow dead ideas to control living issues. What was eminently right and proper for the past may be as eminently unsuited to present needs; so the appeal to traditions in themselves is simply sentimental retrogression. Our fathers lived their lives according to their best lights, and we must do the same. One Excitement Over. Kansas City Journal.
