CQUNCl OF WAR HELD
To Review the Situation as It
Now Exists.
NO OHAGES WERE ORDERED.
Eastern Squadron to Sail Fcr Spain
Without Delay.
TWO BATTLESHIPS WILL GO
One Protected Cruiser and Several Aux
iar'lei, Which, With Several Col
liers and a Supply Hhlp,
Make Up This Trans
atlantic Fleet.
Washington, July 8. The president
called a council of warto meet at the
Whit House, the purpose being to re
view the situation and learn exactly
what the present conditions are and
what changes, If any, Bhould be made
In the plane for the future conduct of
the war.
According to one of the members
preselt it was decided to abide by the
plans already laid, at least as to the
general conduct of the campaign.
Confirmation seemed to have been
given to this statement later in the
day.fl when, after a conference with the
members of the war board, Secretary
Long announced to the waiting news
paper men that he had ordered Admi
ral Sampson to detach from his com
mand immediately the vessels em
braced in Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron and to direct the commodore
to proceed on his mission.
The veisels of the squadron will not
be the same as those originally select
ed, for the reason probably that the
recent engagement with Cervera's
squadron necessitated some changes.
The new eastern squadron will con
sist of the battleshipslowa and "Oregon,
the protected cruiser Newark, and the
auxiliary cruisers carrying side armor)
Dixie, Yankee and Yosemlte, the col
liers Averenda, Cassius, Caesar, Leoni
daB and Justin, and the supply boat
Delmonlco.
The ships are to set sail as soon as
they can coal and supply. They will
not be required, in the case of the
southern vessels, to come north, which
would mean the Iosb of several days,
but will start directly from the points
Where they are now located.
The order provides that each ship
shall make her way across the Atlantic
to a marine rendezvous, which will be
designated in sealed orders to prevent
its exposure to the slightest possible
danger from the enemy, and the most
that is known is that It will be at some
point off the Spanish coast.
It probably will not be long after
that before the American squadron
will be in full pursuit of Camara with
his remnant of the Spanish navy.
Meanwhile the gathering of the
American fleet off the Spanish ports is
expected to have a sobering effect upon
the inflamed people.
The number of colliers accompany
ing the expedition Is evidence that a
long cruise lies ahead, and that our
naval authorities propose to be caught
in no such position as was Camara at
Port Said obliged to submit to a re
fusal of coaling privileges.
A telegram received at the state de
partment announced that Camara was
utlll lying with his squadron at Suez,
the southern and eastern entrance to
the canal.
The torpedo boats Osada, Proser
pina and Audaz, which were reported
at Pharo, Portugal, arrived at Cadlr,
their home port Admiral Dewey has
been notified of all these movements.
The very flrBt care of the oflclala
will be fox1 tho wounded men who are
to be brought north as rapidly as their
condition will permit
There was some Idea of taking one
of the big hotels at Fortress Monroe,
standing on the government reserva
tion, for the purpose of a hospital,
but it Is said to be the present plan
to substitute a number of large tents
which, when properly pitched and
placed, are said to be hygienically
better than enclosed structures for tho
treatment of wounds at this season of
the year,
Meanwhile all is being done in the
neighborhood of Santiago to alleviate
the suffering at Santiago that condi
tions will permit. Thursday afternoon
came a telegram from General Shat
ter to the war department as follows:
"In the name of the sick and wound
ed oAoers and men under my com
mand, I thank Mr. J. W. Mackay for
the let sent us,"
Much f the difficulty experienced In
supplying the troops on the battle
fields still lie lp tke transportatioA de
paHfcMkt General SWfter has reprf
44 m ffrtt ty iVrtpwfe. fctha
received as yet only one lighter, the
Laura, and this Is able under the best
conditions to carry ashore supplies for
only one day for the army, from tho
transports lying far out at Baa. Whal
might happen n the event of bad
weather can be conjectured.
The necessary orders were given
during the day to start the Philadel
phia for Hawaii, carrying Ad,mirat
Mllier with a notice of the action of
the United States government add
direction to United States Minister
Sewell to take formal possession In the
name of the United States.
The Hawaiian legation hero has
taken steps mean while to get the
earliest news from Honolulu through
telegrams to their consul at San Fran
cisco, who will dispatch them on the
Coptic.
Major General Nelson A. Miles, com
manding the army, accompanied by
the entire staff of army headquarters,
left for Charleston, S. Ci, where the
party will embark for Santiago.
At the same time Lieutenant Colonel
Michler and a large staff of head
quarters' clerks who have been In
Tampa will come north to Charleston
and join the party.
The start will be made from Charles
ton on the first steamer after the gen
eral and his staff arrive. This may
be either the Yale or Columbia, which
pre taking on troops there.
If the troops are ready to start be
fore the party arrive they will go on
and the general will follow on the
Resolute or one of the other steamers
to Ball under the Yale and Columbia.
It Is expected that the party will be at
Santiago the early part of next week.
On the eve of his departure General
Miles expressed sat'sfactlon on start
ing to Join the troops, He spoke of the
sacrifices and hardships they had
passed through recently, and of those
yet to come. It has operated severely
against the general officers, and Gen
eral Miles feels that he, too, Is not en
tirely Invulnerable In a country of heat,
Bwamp and disease. Dut he has a
strong physique, his muscles are as
hard as iron, and he goes expecting to
stand a good deal of knock-about ser
vice. General Miles himself has no other
purpose in going to Santiago than to
look over the military situation and
to strengthen the hand of Shatter.
There is no intention on his part to
take in any manner from the glory
that Shatter has won or may win in
this campaign. He will not relieve
General Shatter of his command unless
the latter's physical condition is such
as to demand some such action.
The war department admitted for
the first time that two expeditions, one
on the Florida and another on thf
Fanita had successfully proceeded from
Florida porta to points In central and
western Cuba, where large quantities
of arms and supplies were landed for
General Gomez's command.
This Is the first time that arms have
got to Goms and his men in the west
ern sections, as the first expedition
equipped Garcia and his men around
Santiago.
The Florida and Fanita left sometime
ago, but their movements were guarded
with the greatest care in order that
a premature publication might not
jeopardize the safely of those on board
as well as the delivery of the guns.
The time of danger is now past, how
ever, and the full stock of guns, am
munition and supplies is in the hands
of General Gomez's troops.
Sinking of Relna Mercedes.
Washington, July 8. Admiral Samp
son has telegraphed the navy depart
ment aB follows: "Abopt midnight the
Relna Meroedes was seen by t$t Mas
sachusetts, which vessel had a search
light on the channel, coming out of the
harbor of Santiago. The Massachu
setts and Texas opened Are, and the
Spanish vessel was sunk opposite Es
treela Cove. I am inclined to think it
was the intention to sink her In tho
channel, and thus block the harbor en
trance. If bo, this plan was defeated
by the fire of the ships, as she lies dn
the edge of the shore."
Hobion and Comrades Exchanged,

Studying a Peace Proposal.
Paris, July 8. The Temps publishes
a dispatch fromMadrldwhlch says thai
Its correspondent, in spite of the offi
cial denialB published in the news
papers, persists In the belief that the
Spanish cabinet not only deliberated
upon the question of negotiating for
peace but oharged the minister for
foreign affairs, Duke Almedovar de
Rio, and the minister of public in
struction, Senor Gamaza, to study the
matter and report upon It. The corre
spondent adds that he does not believe

lates to restrain the Carlists.
