WATSON SO CABLES LONG Commodore In Charge of llloekudlng Fleet Notifies tlic NaW Department ! That Ilrave AmerieansMust Itemain In Prison at Santiugo. Washington, June 21.—The follow ing was received today from Commo dore Watson: “Captain general states Spanish gov ernment refuses to exchange prisoners.” Hobson and his men are the prisoners in question. This report by Commodore Watson, coupled with tho story via Kingston that tho flags over Santiago's Morro Castle had been halfmasted as a noti fication that Hobson and his men wore doad, is causing much anxiety in official circles for tho safety of tho Merriiunc crew. Unofficial telegrams received here last week from Madrid and Havana stated that unexpected delay had been caused in the exchange of Lieutenant Hobson and his seven comrades in the sinking of the Merrimac; that Captain Ludlow, who went to Havana under a flag of truce to negotiate for the exchange, was informed that Contain General Blanco had no authority to make such ex- j change. No ofiicial confirmation of these re- i ports was received by either the state or navy department until today. It is stated by officials that the Spanish au thorities bad definitely consented to the exchange of Hobson and his companions for Spanish prisoners of war in our bands, and nothing is known which could have caused a change of such de- | cision. It was believed by officials here that Captain Ludlow would return with all arrangements completed for the eration of Hobson and ihe others. wishes it thoroughly under- stood by the public that even should tbo whole loan be subscribed for several times over in large amounts, every sub scription of $.VHi or less will bo accepted at once, as precedence in the allotmwits over large ones.

Enemies of the Government at Work Near Cincinnati. Cincinnati, June 21.—-The finishing department of the King Powder com pany, in Warren county, was destroyed last night in a manner leading to the belief that it was the work of enemies | of the government. The building, in | which was stored a quantity of smoke- | less powder, had evidently been tired | by two men near midnight, one of whom was badly burned and hud been apparently dragged away from the burn ing building by his companion, who then ran in tho direction of South Leb anon. Smokeless powder in the condition it was in the department does not explode like ordinary powder with a flash hut breaks into a bright light and burns for some time. The great light attracted citizens, and some of these met a stranger going to South Lebanon. The injured man was taken into custody. He is evidently a foreigner, but is so 1 badly injured that he can scarcely talk. The powder burned was not for tho government and the money loss is in considerable, perhaps $2,000. This com pany has a contract to supply the gov ernment and this is thought to be the reason its destruction was attempted. Shatter No Doubt Off Cuba. ■Washington, June 21.—No doubt is entertained at either the war or navy departments that General Shafter’s ex pedition has arrived safely off Santiago by this time. As a matter of fact, it is believed that the first of the transports arrived near the blockading fleet Satur day night. According to the plans ar ranged for the debarkation, the fleet of transports was to lie in a safe place un til Sampson had cleared the way for a landing. The selection of the landing place has been left entirely to the judg ment of Sampson and Shafter. Announced That the Newly Installed Officials Will Not Oppose American Protectorate For the Islands or Even Oceupation. Chicago, June 21.—A special cable gram today to The Record from John T. McCutcbeon, a staff correspondent with Dewey’s fieet, dated Hong-Kong, June 20, reads as follows: “General Filipino officially proclaimed a provisional government in Old Cavite June 12. There were great ceremonies and a declaration of independence was read renouncing Spanish authority. General Aguinaldo was elected presi dent and Daniel Pirondo vice president. The insurgent government will not op pose an American protectorate or oc cupation. “The rebels have captured the Span ish governor and the garrison of 200 i men at Bulucan.

Leaders In the Volunteer Army Need Not Resign Civil OITices. Washington, June 21.—The depart ment of justice has rendered a decision that promises to aflect a large number of army officers.

Chattanooga, June 21.—Dr. Alonzo Monk of Centenary Methodist church has created a sensation by denouncing the police officials and the police com missioners of Chattanooga because of the “notorious fact that saloons are do ing an open business on Sunday and gambling is rampant.” He declared that the commissioners and the officers who were tolerating these evils were riolatiug their official oaths, and should be impeached and made to step down and out of office. who hold civil offices as well as military ones. The revised statutes say: “No officer of the army on the active list shall hold any civil office, whether by election or appointment,” and any officer “who accepts or authorizes the functions f ' a civil office shall thereby cease vo . m officer of the army, and hi» commission shall thereby be va cated.” This section would seem to cutoff the hopes of civilians from holding two offices, and this is the view taken by the judge advocate general of tin- army. But the attorney general holds that the restriction refers only to regular army officers. This decision is made in the case of Colonel Melvin Grigsby, who is colonel of the Third cavalry, and attorney g n- eral of the state of South Dakota. The question as to his right to both offices was raised by the governor of South Dakota when Colonel Grigsby drew his jjuv as attorney general. Lq/on reference the judge advocate general of the army wrote this opinion: “If Colonel Melvin Grigsby has held or exercised the functions of the office of attorney general of South Dakota since he became an officer of the army be thereby ceased to be an officer of the army, and his commission is thereby vacated.” The decision of the attorney general is. however, that “while an officer in the veinuteer army may be said to be actively engaged in military service he is not ]jernianently so engaged. He has simply restsmded to a patriotic tail, and expects, when the war is over, to return to civil life. His term of military ser vice is uneertsrtn and contingent. “He may lie able to make arrange ments to bridge over bis absence, and on his return resume his former work. Whether he is to bo. permitted to do this and retain a civil office during a tempo rary absence is a matter for determina tion by those to whom he is accountable for the proper discharge of the duties of snch office. It does not concern the war department or this department.” WALLACE IS TO EE NAMED. Indiaiinn Will Get Major Generalship' off Volunteers. Washington, Juno 21.—General Lew Wallace of Indiana will Iw appointt d a major general of volunteers by tho president within the next few days. This statement was made by a senator who has been working in the interest of General Wallace since the outbreak of the war. The president had decided not to make the apiKiintiuent owing to the fact that General Wallace was nearly ?2 years old. But the Indiana delegation’s efforts to overcome the president’s objection have been successful. The president has said he will make the appointment. General Wallace will command a camp of concentration. Leading Merchant of the IIig Cuban Town Reaches Ivey West and Reports That General Hlanco Is Preparing to Figltl to the Last. Key Wept, Juno 21.—A prominent resident of Havana, who lcf|»hat place cu June 5, arrived hero yej.erday on his way to New York. His description of the situation in Havana at the tima he left contra dicts widespread reports of famine and suffering in that city, and throws a new light on tho effectiveness of the blockade, which, it appears, fails in its purpose as far as cutting off all moans of supplies and commnniontion with tho outside world is concerned. His story is entitled to full credence and consideration, coming as it does from one of the leading merchants of Havana, a foreign resident, unbiased in i his views or sympathies. He reports, in the first place, that Havana is practically an open port, as it is not blockaded on its southern ap proach. Batabano, on the south side, is only 4U miles Irom Havana, with which city it is connected by rail. Batabano has never been more than a shipping point and headquarters for the sponge fisheries for southern Cuba and a land- j iug place for the Isle of Pines ferry - • boats, which there connect with the I northbound trains for Havana. The water between Bataliano and the Isle of Pines being very shallow, no where exceeding 9 feet in depth and therefore inaccessible to any large craft, has caused the Isle of Pines to be over looked as a possible entry port or base of supplies for western Cuba and as a point deserving of greater consideration than that attached to a fifth rate and much mismanaged penal colony. It now appears, however, that con stant traffic has l-cen kept up between the Isle of Pines and the Yucatan coast and that lull cargoes of provisions and livestock have b-cn regularly lauded tbe,re from steamers, schooners and other sailing vessels, unmolested by American warships, which rarely, if ever, patrol those waters. The work of transhipping those car goes to Fatabano on the flat bottom ferryboats, constantly plying bo- tween that port and Nenvu Gnerova, tho principal port of tho Islo of Pinos, has been an easy matter, as also their subsequent transportation to Havana by rail. In the first fonr days of June, it is as serted, over bOO bead of cattle were Powerful Vessels to Lay For the Cadiz Fleet. missioned men in the volunteer service landed a Batabano, besides large quau- Cubaiift Reach Key West.

To Ignore Flags of Truce. Key West, June 21.—It is learned from naval officers here that Captain General Blanco has notified the Ameri can blockading fleet that he will here after recognize no flag of trace, adding that every vessel within 0 miles’ range will be fired upon, whether flying the stars and rtripes or a white flag. Taylor Say* Knd Is Near. Montgomery, Ala., June 2..—Hon. Hanuis Taylor of Mobile, former min- j inter of the United States to Spain, has been interviewed about the progress of the war, and expresses the opinion that as soon as Santiago has completely sur rendered the war will be brought to a close. He Itelieves that the Cadiz fleet is not able to make the voyage across the ocean, ami that when Cervera’s fleet is captured or destroyed neither Havana nor any of the other fortressi s in Cuba will be able to continue the war. titles of liour and grain. Not only are the shipments not limited to supplies of provisions and the necessaries of life, hut. our informant reports, coal in large quantities is brought over. This state ment practically confirms the reports that the Spanish government has estab lished largo coal depots on the Yucatan coast. At the outbreak of hostilities it was reported that Havana had sufficient re serve supplies in store to last ?-ix months. Since then, it is asserted, fresh ship ments have been received by way of Batabano and the Isle of Pines far in excess of the consumption, so that ap parently, so far from suffering from the evils attendant upon the blockade, Ha vana has kept on in the even tenor of an unruffled existence, with sufficient stores on hand to last another half year. A gay and cheerful note m these war like times is sounded by tho announce ment that, by way of this same Pro- gresso-Batabano route, an intrepid “Compania De Zarzula,” or theatrical troupe Irom Mexico, wade its appear ance in Havana and has since been playing to full houses at the Albisu theater, unmindful of the impending fate that hangs over the doomed city. The daily routine of life, it is added, continues unaltered and theater parties, dances and the usual social diversions are indulged in as in times of peace. Considerable fear, says the Havana merchant, has Leen entertained as to the tobacco crop. Following the usages of war.'are practiced lir the Spaniards and Cubans alike, it 3us been confi dently expected tb-t at least one-half of the Yuelta Abajo crop would lie ruined or set on fire in the field, but, lunch to the general surprise, almost the entire output of Vnelta Alajo and Remedial districts has been bailed, shipped and stored in Havana warehouses. The general health is rejMirted by the merchant to lie particularly good, es- E ecially for this season of the year, and e denies the reported ravages of yellow . fever and smallpox on the island. H* confirms the military activity noticed and recorded ky the officers on blockade duty, and consider* Ha vana today very strongly fortified.

Washington, June 21.—It was de termined by President McKinley, Sec retary Long and the members of the naval war board at a conference held at the executive mansion today to organize a fast and powerful flying squadron to meet Admiral Camara’s Cadiz fleet if it conics across tho Atlantic. The squadron will be under the com mand of Commodore Schley and will be composed of the firsteluss battleship Oregon, which made such a record breaking trip from San Francisco; the armored cruiser Brooklyn, the New Or leans, the Minneapolis, the Cincinnati, the Newark, the Yale or the Harvard, and probably one or two other vessels. The flying squadron will coueentato near San jMun, Porto Rico, and await the appearance of the Spanish fleet. Naval authorities do not believe that Admiral Camara will proceed further than the Canaries, but no chances will be taken. Scouts will be sent in all di rections to guard every possible passage by which Admiral Camara could try to slip through. Tho east end of the Caribbean sea and the ocean to the north of Porto Rico will be patrolled to prevent the Spanish admiral from entering Cuban ports. Scouts will protect the Atlantic coast from a possible attack. The Brooklyn, Oregon and New Or leans are now off Santiago. The other ships are scattered. Some are at Hamp ton Roads and others doing patrol duty along the coast. It will take two weeks to assemble tiie fleet. It is 109 miles from Cadiz to the Ca naries, /or which it is believed Camara is headvd. It will require four days for the fleet to make this point. Should the fleet be making for Porto Rico or Cuba its next stop will be at Cape Verde for coal, a distance of 8T5 miles. Commodore Schley will have ample time to assemble his squairon betore the Spanish fleet has time to leave Cape Verde. The distance from Cape Verde to Porto Rico is 2,500 miles and Admiral Camara’s ships will require at least two weeks to cover the distance. Commo dore Schley will have sqfficient time to have the coast thoroughly patrolled. Future developments will determine whether San Juan will be taken and troops landed before Admiral Camara is definitely located. Naval officials seont the idea that the Spanish fleet is making for Manila. NEW BILLION DOLLAR NAVY. Senator Ilansbroiigh Favors Retention of Captured Territory. Washington, June 21.—“Events of tho past six weeks indicate that the policy of the government concerning the extension of its territorial lines is about to undergo a radical change,” said Senator H. C. Hansbrough of North Dakota today. “The time has come when the United States must keep puce with other nations of the world in the matter of acquiring additional territory. We are a great and growing people and can not afford to remain in iso.atiou as we have done in tho jast century. New issues have sprung out of the present war, and we must be prepared to meet them. “The retention of the Philippine islands seems to me to be established beyond doubt. We have made every preparation for holding the islands and establishing a form of government over them. This means that we must build a great navy for their protection. That this newly a- paired territory will be of great advantage to ns in years to come I doubt not. Our commercial interests in the east make it an imperative neces sity that we should have coaling sta tions where our merchantmen can find refuge in time of peace and where our warships may go for shelter in time of war. ” and soldiery in Havana, the S]>aniard- um pr last.

Tho Annexation Resolution Is Now Under Consideration by the Senators. MATTER WILL EE PUSHED Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Urged to Insist That the Measure Ue Disposed of Without I’nnecessary Delay. Washington, Juno 21.—The Rev. Dr. D. D. Smart, pastor of the First M. E. church of Memphis, pronounced the in vocation at the opening of the senate’s session today. Ten minutes after the session opened Mr. Davis of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, moved that the senate proceed to the eonsideration of the Hawaiian annexa tion resolution. The quick di-position of morning business and tho large attendance in the senate indicated an intention on the part of senators to press the Ha waiian question to the front as rap idly as possible. In answer to an inquiry from Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, Mr. Davis said it was the purpose of tho foreign rela tions committee to occupy, not only the morning hour, but the entire time of the senate in consideration of the Haw aiian annexation. “The committee,” said he, “consid ers this an important measure, to which it is very desirable to give prompt at tention. Of course there will be no dis position unnecessarily to inijiede other business, but we regard it necessary to press this measure to the exclusion of ordinary matters. ” Mr. Hoar said ho desired simply to obtain time at an early date to have considered the conference report on the bankruptcy bill and he hoped there would be uo objection to its consid eration. After the transaction of some minor business the vice president declared the Hawaiian resolutions to be before the senase. Almost immediately afterward Mr. Frye of Maine rose and said that as the senate was entering upon an exceed ingly important matter he sincerely hoped the chairman of the foreign rela tions committee would insist that it should be considered without unneces sary delay. He expressed the hope that he would press the subject upon to senate in sistently and not give way to any measure that was not absolutely a necessary war measure. He thought the senate ought not to adjourn at 4 or 5 o’clock in the after noon, but should sit as long as possible in order to facilitate (he consideration of the resolutions, which he said ought to be passed at an early date. He did not think the chairman of the committee ought to wait lor senators to get ready to speak, bur should demand that all we desired to address the senate be prepared on time. Mr. Frye sug gested that upon the taking up of the resolutions the yeas and nays be called. Mr. White of California instantly rose and made the point of order that the resolutions were already before the senate and that the yeas ami nays could not be had upon a dead issue. The point was sustained by the vice president, who announced that he had already declared the resolutions to be before the senate. Mr. Jones of Arkansas said he desired to say in res]>onsc to Mr. Frye’s state ment that if harsh measures were to bo adopted in the beginning by friends of annexation, he wanted to warn them that it would be necessary to keep a a quornm in the seriate chamber at all times. ‘‘Well, we’il keep a quorum here." replied Mr. Frye, “us we ought to do at all times." Mr. Morrill of Vermont then took the floor and addressed the senate in oppo sition to the resolutions. The venerable senator spoke in a conversational tone, but was accorded close attention by the senate. PROGRESS OF DIXIE LAND. Many Important New Industries Re ported Tliroiiali the South.

Chickamauga, Ga., June 21.—The moat important happening of today at Camp Thomas was the arrival of Gen eral Healy and staff of New York to pay tho troops of that state for the time they were in service before being mus tered in as United Suites volunteers. General Healy, the chief paymaster, has long been expected and anxiously awaited by the New Y’orkers and his arrival was tho signal for unbounded enthusiasm. As soon as the payrolls can be put in shape, a work which is now progressing rapidly, all four of the New York regi ments will be paid. The first paid will be the Eighth infantry. Colonel Henry V. Sackett of Governor Black's staff ar rived yesterday and spout the greater part of the day with Colonel Chauncey, arranging the payroll of the Eighth. The total amount to be paid the New Yorker will approximate $150,000. Several hundred more recruits arrived this morning. The arrivals yesterday numbered nearly 500. The recruiting work is progressing much more rapidly than expected, all the regiments filling up fast. Efforts are now being made to perfect the guard service at the park as rapidly as possible, and in pursuance to this or ders have been issued from the head quarters of the First division of the First corps that hereafter all officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard will be required to remain with tho guard during the entire tour of duty. They will also make a prescrilxjd in spection and will be held responsible for the thorough instruction of the guard. To : c .omplish this each brigade is to appoint one of the members of its staff to do the work.

Henry N. Patton is the name of a private of the Thirty-first regiment who is now wandering about Camp Thomas suffering from mental aberration. Y'es- terday Colonel Gardner sent notice to all regiments on the field in which he requested the commanding officers to look alter the man should he he found.
