Knights of St. John (Catholic). Over
3,000 members of the order, including
about 2,000 uniformed Knights, poured
into the city to participate in the big

Doth vessels will return to the United
States to carry other troops for Shaf
fer's reinforcement.
The Olorlous Fourth.
The Fourth of July in the state was
apparently not observed in so noisy a
manner as in former years. In many
places no arrangements had been made
for an official observance of the day,
but the news of Sampson's destruction
of Ccrvera's fleet at Santiago de Cuba
changed matters. It caused great ex
citement and enthusiasm. Parades
were formed, bands played patriotic
airs and general rejoicing ensued. A
noticabic feature was the decrease in
interest in sporting events. Where
programs had already been arranged
the glorious news added immensely to
the enthusiasm.
Strike In State Printing; Office.
The liobert Sijiith Printing Co., of
Lansing, which Recently secured the
state printing anty binding contracts,
is tied u on account of a strike of all
the employes. The men claim that

day's labor. The firm bid close to the
margin and state that under the terms
of the contract it would be suicidal to
accede to the wishes of the men. The
strike promises to bo a stubborn fight.
MUhgan Hoy Fare Well at Tampa.

BEFORE THE CATTLE.
American Force Speedily Puidied the
SpantHh Into Santiago.
Within a week after the landing of
American troops near Santiago one
battle had been fought and the entire
Spanish forces had been driven within
tho intrenchments surrounding the
city of Santiago, and the Americans
had moved in force to within two or
three miles of the doomed city. The
troops were moved without serious de
lay, and pushed forward rapidly, but
the movement of the pack trains, wag
ons.ambulances and artillery taxed the
skill and endurance of the officers and
men to the utmost. From Daiquiri,
where the artillery was landed, to the
point of concentration, the road runs
through a tangle of tropical under
growth, up and down steep hillsides
and over treacherous swamp-bordered
streams, for a distance of over 12 miles.
Through this continuous thicket en
gineers set at work leveling tho track
and filling pits, while u largo force of
regulars and volunteers with axes,
aided by Cubans with machetes, began
hacking down trees and clearing out
the brush to enable the heavy artillery
to be brought up to the front.
Meanwhile the American front ad
vanced to within a mile of the Spanish
intrenchments. The main force of in
fantry encamped on the Santiago side
of tho Guama river and the cavalry
under Gen. Wheeler held the rear, be
tween the Guama river and the Sevilla
hills. The Cubans easily took posses
sion of the Spanish blockhouses be
tween their intrenchments and the
the American forces. Gen. Lawton,
Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Wheeler thor
oughly reconnoitcred the Spanish posi
tion and, with the aid of information
furnished by the Cubans, secured very
good maps of the roads and defenses of
the city. Much information was also
obtained from Spanish pacificcs, who
gave themselves up in the hope of get
ting food. They report great starva
tion and distress in Santiago. They
say the Spanish troops are on short ra
tions and that all the supplies arc be
ing held for their use.
SAILED FOR WIAN1LA.
SpiiiUli Fleet I'mler dinar: to go to
the Philippine, the Suez Canal.
Port Said: Admiral Camara's squad
ron is in the harbor awaiting orders.
It consists of the battleship Pel ay o,
Admiral Camara's flagship, crew 503
men; armored cruiser Fmperador Car
los V, 501 men: auxiliary cruiser Pat
riota, equipped with 12-inch guns and
troops and marines; Darriere, crew 250
and 200 troops; auxiliary cruiser Duenos
Ayres, 10 guns, carrying stores, crew
180, troops 703; torpedo boat destroyer
Audaz, 73 men; armed merchantman
Isla de Panay, crew 103, troops 703;
auxiliary cruiser Rapido, 12 guns, crew
238, troops 200; steamship Colon, un
armed, cargo stores, crew 120; torpedo
boat destroyer Proserpina, 72 men; tor
pedo boat destroyer, Osada, 72 men;
transport Covadonga, cargo stores,
crew 120; collier Francisco, cargo am
munition, ciew OS.
Except the Carlos V., the Patriota,
the Audaz and Proserpina, the whole
fleets presents a forlorn appearance.
All the other vessels show very foul
bottoms and arc in an extremely un
tidy, neglected condition. The soldiers,
miserably clad and evidently ill-fed and
discontented, are confined on shipboard.
The Egyptian government has re
fused Camara's Spanish fleet permission
to coal at Port Said or in Egyptian
waters.
London: If Spain's reserve fleet goes
through the Suez canal its commander
will have to pay about $122,000 down
in gold, as canal tolls before the ves
sels enter the waterway.
The Situation at Manila.
A Manila dispatch via Hong Kong
says the presence of five German war
ships in the harbor continues to be the
disturbing feature. German ofliccrs
ure much ashore and arc on friendly
terms with the Spanish officials. The
Gorman fleet surpasses the American
squadron both in tonnage and arma
ment. The German and American
warships arc not displaying much cor
diality. An American official at Cavite
writes as follows: "If great bloodshed
and destruction come to Manila, Spain
may justly blame the Germans. Ma
nila would have surrendered before
the arrival of the German squadron
without bloodshed, but now, owing to
the moral support of its presence, the
city refuses to surrender."
Madrid: Dispatches received from
Manila say the Spaniards are deter
mined to fight to the death, and that
there is every reason to believe that
when the American troops arrive des
perate fighting will occur. It is sup
posed at Manila that the German war
ships will prevent tho bombardment
of that place, and it is alleged that
Prince Henry, of Prussia, is on his way
there on board a warship. The gov
ernment has wired Capt.-Gen. August!
at Manila to resist to the end, as the
voyage of Admiral Camara will be ex
pedited. Manila: The report that Germany
will not permit a bombardment is ex
citing deep irritation in the American
fleet. Admiral Dewey intends to de
mand n capitulation the instant rein
forcements arrive.
A special dispatch from Fiume, the
seaport town of Austria-Hungary, says
an Austrian vessel is on her way to the
Philippine islands with 500 torpedoes
"intended for the Spanish fleet."
During a sham battle between two
divisions of the 32d Michigan regiment
at Tumpa. Private Guy Culver, Co. D
(Rattle Creek), was painfully wounded.
Several of the opposing side attempted
to take him prisoner, and when he re
sisted, one of them placed his gun
close to his neck and fired. The charge
entered his neck and check filling both
with powder.

Washington: A general assault on
the city of Santiago de Cuba, by the
land and naval forces of the United
States, began ut 7 o'clock on the morn
ing of July 1. Gen. Lawton advanced
and took possession of Cabona.a suburb
of Santiago. Morro castle ami the
other forts at the entrance of tho har
bor were bombarded by Sampson's
fleet. The Vesuvius used her dynamite
guns with good effect. The Spanish
fleet in the harbor fired on the Amer
ican troops, who were close to the city.
Washington: Tho war department
has received the following from Gen.
Shaftcr, dated at Siboney:
Had a very heavy engagement which
lasted from 8 a. m. until sundown.
We have carried the Spanish outworks
and ure now in possession of them.
There is now about three-quarters of
a mile of open between my lines and
the city. Dy morning troops will be
intrenched and considerable augmen
tation of forces will be there. (Jen.
Lawton's division and Gen. Dates' bri
gade, which have been engaged all day
in carrying El Caney, which was ac
complished at 4 p. m., will be in line
and in front of Santiago during the
night. I regret to say that our casu
alties will be above 400. Of these not
many killed. Shaftkk.
Another brief dispatch says: The
fighting continued until dark. Our
forces carried the enemy's outer works
and have occupied them. The battle
will bo resumed at daybreak. The
American loss is heavy. Some esti
mates place it at 500 killed and
wounded.
Shatter Cued a llalloon.
For the first time in the history of
the United States a war balloon was
sent up during the first attack on San
tiago, making observation of incalcul
able benefit to (Jen. Shafter's forces in
the field occupied by the cnemj', and
over the doomed city of Santiago. It
was manned by two members of the
signal corps. Of all the reconnais
sances made inside the Spanish lines
by spies from our army, no informa
tion brought back by them has been
so valuable as that obtained by the
observers in the balloon. With them
the men carried powerful telescopes,
which enabled tjiem to sec the country
for a radius of nearly 40 miles. The
Spanish camps could be plainly seen
and the number of forces at each place
estimated. The men in the balloon
were soon sighted by tho Spaniards,
for messengers ran about and shots,
evidently from machine guns, were
aimed at them. The swaying motion
of the huge gas bag anil the effect of
gravity, however, prevented any of
the projectiles from hitting it, and the
Spaniards soon gave up, evidently
not wishing to waste ammunition.
Sketches and maps were drawn show
ing the enemy's location, and these
will be of the greatest benefit. The
ballon remained up until dark, when
it was slowly hauled down to earth.
Sighee Knoeltod Out the Terror.
Washington: Capt Sigsbee reports
that while off San Juan. Porto Rico,
he was attacked by a Spanish unpro
tected cruiser and the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror. The Terror
made a dash which was awaited
by the St. Paul. The St. Paul hit the
Terror three times, killing one officer
and two men and wounding several
others. The Terror dropped back un
der cover of the fortifications with
difficulty, and was towed into the har
bor in a sinking condition, where she
is now being repaired. Later, a cruiser
and a gunboat started out. but re
mained under protection of the forts.
Id defeating the Terror, Capt. Sigs
bee has not only deprived Sampson's
fleet of apprehension of an attack in
the rear some dark night, but he has
demonstrated that an auxiliary cruiser
is able to take care of herself against a
torpedo gunboat. The torpedo gun
boat was an untried quality in naval
warfare up to this time. She is swifter
than a torpedo boat and is seaworthy.
NOTES ON THE WAR SITUATION
President McKinley will soon issue
another call for volunteers, probably
for 150.000 men. Such is the report in
ollicial quarters in Washington.
The engineer corps with Gen. Shaf
tcr, under Cuban guides cut the mains
of Santiago's waterworks and now the
Spaniards must depend on cisterns.
Spanish officials threaten to bestow
independence upon Porto Rico subject
to certain commercial advantages being
reserved for Spain. The object is to
forestall American intervention.
Uncle Sam has the finest hospital
ship afloat now on the way to Santiago.
The Relief is fitted in the most ap
proved hospital style and has all the
latest surgical appliances, including
two complete .X-ray outfits. She also
has distilling, refrigerating and water
carbonating plants.
Gen. Shaf ter learned from the Cubans
that Gen. Pando was moving eastward
from Manzanillo with 8,700 picked
men to reinforce the Spanish at San
tiago. A force of 200 Cubans under
(Jen. Rios was harassing the Spaniards
at every possible point, but he sent
two messengers to the American camp
saying he could not hold Pando in
check much longer. (Jen. Shaftcr re
quested (Jen. Garcia to send a strong
force to the aid of Rios. Garcia at once
selected 2,000 of his best fighters under
(Jen. Rabl, and they at once embarked
on transports for Serado. from whence
they will march to Lai Palinas.
The liloe!(ale Extended.
Washington: The President has is
sued a proclamation extending the
blockade of Cuba to the southern coast
from Cape Francos to Cape Cruz inclu
sive, and also blockading Sun Juan,
Porto Jiieo. Neutral vessels, lying in
any of the ports to which the blockade
is by the present proclamation ex
tended, will be allowed 30 days to Is
sue therefrom with cargo.
The blockade of San Juan proclaimed
is a reality, having been initiated by
Capt. Sigsbee last week, when he
turned back a Drilish steamer laden
with supplies.
The President thus gave notice of
blockading about 500 miles of Cuban
coast line in addition to the sections
already blockaded. The blockade has
been confined heretofore to a little
more than 100. miles on the north and
the single port of Cienfucgos on the
south coast. The new blockaded coast
line lies entirely within the great bight
on tho south Cuban coast, in which the
water is generally very shallow and
the ports are few into which a vessel
of any draft could enter. The object
of blockading that coast is to cut off
supplies which have been reaching
Havana through points on that coast.
The vessels for the additional block
ade service will be supplied almost en
tirely from the patrol fleet which has
been guarding the north Atlantic coast.
More Kelnforeement for Shatter.
A Washington special says all the
cavalry available has been ordered to
reinforce Shaftcr at once. The trans
ports Mohawk and Mississippi, with
capacity for 1,800 men and horses, have
been ordered to sail for Tampa at once.
Cavalry is absolutely necessary in an
attack on Santiago. Orders have also
been issued for the departure of an
other large army expedition from
Tampa, composed of about 9,000 men
of the Second division of the Fourth
array corps, under command of Rrig.
Gen. Snyder, and six batteries of artil
lery, three light and three heavy. (Jen.
Snyder's division consists of the 11th
and l.th U. S. regulars. First Ohio,
First Illinois, First District of Colum
bia, Second New York, Third Pennsyl
vania, Fifth Maryland and 157th In
diana volunteers. This will bring (Jen.
Shafter's force up to 30,000 men.
THE WAR SITUATION.
The Spaniards have planted dyna
mite mines in every road into Santiago.
The liritish Glosiap and East Lothian
have sailed from Philadelphia with
0,000 tons of coal for Admiral Dewey,
A military telegraph station has been
established at Sevilla, thus bringing
Gen. Shaftcr into direct communica
tion with the war department.
While oiling the machinery in tho
Delta Lumber Co.'s mill at Detroit,
Anthony Lawrence was caught by the
belting of a large fly-wheel and was
torn to pieces instantly between the
fly-wheel and a stanchion post.
The road over which ordinance and
supplies must Ik? brought to Santiago
is over steep hills densely lined by un
derbrush. Rut very little danger is
apprehended of a flank attack, and it
is evident (Jen. Linares is acting strictly
on the defensive.
While on blockade duty off the south
coast of Cuba the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee captured five sloops carrying
supplies from the Isle of Pines to Rat
abano, evidently for shipment to Hav
ana. The crews were put ashore and
the sloops were burned.
A Cuban spy who was recently in
Santiago says a reign of terror exists
among all classes there owing to the
nightly attacks of the Vesuvius with
the terrible explosion of her dynamite
shells. He says that over 100 Spanish,
including a high officer were killed in
the battle with the rough riders.
The war department is completing
arrangements for furnishing beef and
other supplies for tho army and starv
ing Cubans. Supplj' ships will make
trips to Cuban points about every 10
days. The sum of 85.000,000 has been
placed at the disposal of the commis
sary department for this purpose.
