By Telegraph, Jo the Morning Star.
Washington, j June 22. To-day,
just a week after the United States
Lops left Tortugas, they began to:
jjgembark on Cuban soil, landing in
nrmution at two points, so as to
affack Santiago in the rear and at the
sides, with the navy to help the work?
in front. Thus, tne military invasion
0f "Cuba may be said to have fairly
wim. for though the United States
marines were the first of the regular
forces to land upon Cuban ml. their
nnniose atter an was not invasion out
.. . ;ra .
the establishment of a naval base and
a base tor a came siauon, in ooin 01
.which they were eminently success
ful. To the regular troops was left
the beginning of the formidable task
of invading Cuba in force by land.
Cable Communication Established.
Just at the close of office hours a
brief cablegram came to the War De
partment from Lieutenant Colonel
Allen. It had been expected all day.
To the surprise of the officials the cable
was dated not at Guantanamo, but at
a pWe called Playa del Este, about
twenty miles west of Guantanamo bay
and about half the distance between
that and Santiago bay. Its exact
wording is withheld, but the statement
was authorized that it said the troops
"were lauding ana mat preparations
had been made to attack Santiago at
the sides and rear. j
The delay in receiving further cable
communications after the first of last
evening is thus explained. The lines
were being carried westward, probably
to be nearer the point selected as the
landing place in Cuba.

necessary suggestions, inus n iwiii
be seen, to the delight of all true
soldiers, that General Shafter, like
Admiral Sampson, is not to be tied by
exact orders from Washington, but is
to be allowed the widest liberty
of action, in the belief that he, being
on
the ground, is capable of judg

jected movements. The lieutenant
colonel, however, who is a member of
General Miles' staff and directly in
charge of the signal work in Santiago
province, communicated briefly with
.(Seueral Miles in cipher the fact that
the debarkation of the troops had be
gun and that a plan of attack had been
arranged
Reinforcements.
The rcinforcetntnt of General Shaf
ter actually began to-day, in the de
parture of the entire Thirty-third
Michigan and one battalion of
the Thirty -fourth Michigan from
camp Alger for Santiago. They
go to Newport News and then by
steamer direct to Santiago. If the ex
pectations of the projectors of this
movement are realized, these troops are
likely to occupy actually less time in
the passage than did the first contin
gent which left Tampa directly, not
withstanding the distance is twice as
long.
Formal orders' were issued placing
Gen. Gruv V. Henry in charge of the
new division of; troops, composed of
Bulfield's and Garretson's brigades,
which are to form part of the new di
vision. Probably . some of the troops
now at Tampa will be attached, also,
in which caie they will be dispatched
in separate transports. General Henry
is one of the most noted cavalry lead
ers in the army, possibly in the world
The Plan of Attack. V
It is evident from the nature of
General Miles advices that in addi
tion to the troops now landing, as is
supposed not far from Playa del Este,
on the east side of Santiago bay, the
second landing is going on at a point
just about the same distance west
of the harbor entrance. The
two divisions probably will be
pushed forward steadily to take the
"Town of Santiago on either flank while
to Garcia and Kabi s bands of msur
gents may be left the task of bringing
on t he attack in the rear. The dis
tance , on the west side is slightly
greater than on the east, but it probably
is not greater by either route than hf
teen or eighteen miles. The country
is mountainous, but there is nO reason
to believe it may not be traversed by
the United States troops within a week,
even if it should be necessary to con
struct entrenchments andabattis every
few miles in order to heat back the
Sr lards. With the beginning of the
liry movement, the navy will
fj close in shore to pound away at
y forts at the entrance and to draw
ifie cordon of warships so closely
around the mouth as to make it lm
possible for Cervera's vessels to escape,
even if they are disposed to take the
most desperate chances.
Camara's Fleet.
News has reached here that 12,000
tons of coal are being loaded on ship-
. board at Valparaiso, Chili. As coal is
worth about tl8 a ton there, the pur
chase excites great curiosity here and
it has been suspected that it was being
made on Spanish account.' If this
should prove to be true, and the fact
will soon be known; it would seem to
indicate a purpose on the part of the
' Spanish naval commander Camara to
carry that celebrated Cadiz fleet
around into the Pacific and use these
- colliers to suonlv the fleet with coal
In this case the object of attack proba
bly would be the west coast of the
United States instead of the Philip
pines; but after all the whole thing is
still a matter of mere conjecture.
Talk of an Alliance.
The European stories published this
morning or an alliance among the
powers against the United States, and
of the reported proffer of Germany to
lease the Philippines from Spain, are
received here with amusement, for it
will appear clearly from the""place of
origin of these stones Madrid if not
from their substance, that they were
were inspired by a desperate wish on
the part of Spain to involve us in
trouble with Germany.
The Secretary of the Navy today,
speaking to an Associated Press re
Porter ot the general satisfaction that
has been expressed with the Navy
Department said that, in justice, it
should be borne in mind that the
"avy is always in a state of mobiliza
tion, although the coming of the war
had necessitated a vast amount of
special preparation and a large in
crease of vessels and naval force.
The Secretary then paid a high com
pliment to the chiefs of the naval
bureau who have borne the real bur
den of preparation. He said they will
never get half the praise they deserve.
Official Reports from Shatter and Sampson
Official dispatches received to-night
by both Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long indicate that the landing of
troops near Santiago was nmimwiinir
moot favorably. The first landing was
affectd at Daiquiri this morning and
met with comparatively slight resist
ance. I'hlS was Stated in a rlinnnth
received this evening by Secretary
Alger, which, though brief, was full
of news and meaning. It follows : j
fLAYA del Este, June 22. Secre
tary of War, Washington, D. C Off
Daiquiri, Cuba, June 22. Landing at
Daiquiri this morning successful.
Very little if any resistance.
Signed Shatter.
Secretary Alger expressed himself
as delighted at the expedition with
which the landing of the troops was
being affected, and with the fact that
no serious obstacle was beiner offered
by the enemy. He construed the text
of General Shafter's message to mean
that the enemy had made merely a
nominal resistance by firing from the
hills at long range.
Shortly after Secretary Alger re
ceived his dispatch. Secretary Lone
received a more extended cablegram
from Admiral Sampson. It, too, was
dated at Playa del Este, at 6.50 this
evening. The text of the dispatch,
translated from the Navy Department
cipher, is as follows:
'Landing of the army is progressing
favorably at Daiquiri. There is very
little if any resistance. The New
Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp and
Suwanee shelled the vicinity before
the landing. We made a demon
stration at Cabanas to engage the at
tention of the enemy. The Texas en-
gaged the west battery for some hours.
She had one .man killed. Ten sub
marine mines have been recovered
from the channel of Guantanamo.
Communication by telegraph has been
established at Guantanamo.
Signed Sampson."
In both army and navy circles the
information contained in the dis
patches of General Shafter and Ad
miral Samnson was received with in
tense satisfaction. The landing of so
large a body of troops as General
Shafter at present has under his com
mand is a task of immense propor
tions. A prominent official of the
War Department said to-night that
the complete debarkation of the
troops, animals, field guns and sup
plies within a week after their arrival
off the Cuban coast would be a task
well accomplished. It is probable, in
the opinion of the officer referred to,
tbat only a partial landing of the
troops fwas effected to-day and that
the landing will be continued from
day to day until completed.
It is not unlikely, too, that the
troops will be landed at several places
along the coast, of course, within a
short distance of the headquarters
which General Shafter will establish
for himself.
Admiral Sampson's dispatch indi
cated that he was carrying out his in
structions thoroughly to clear a way
for the landing of troops. The demon
stration which he' made with the Texas
before Cabanas, which is just east of
Guantanamo, may easily have led the
Spaniards to suppose that a general
landing was to be attempted in that
vicinity. It was evident from the text
of Admiral Sampson s dispatch that a
considerable landing had already been
effected near Guantanamo, as he noted
that communication by telegraph had
been re-established at that point, and
that the channel had been cleared of
submarine mines. In the opinion of
naval officers the landing at Guanata
namo was of marines rather than of
land forces.
The cable station through which the
American commanders will communi
cate with the department in this city
has been established, as shown by the
dates of the dispatches received this
evening, at Playa del Este, a small

A ROW AT TAMPA.
A Woman aod a Mao Shot Three Mole.
Packers and Two Rough Riders
Arrested.
By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star.
Tampa, Fla., June 22. A party of
mule-packers and rough riders went
early this morning to the house of
Alice May and raised a row. A gen
eral fight followed and Alice May was
shot several times by the men and one
of the men was shot by one of the in
mates of the house. The woman was
shot three times. One of the wounds
is dangerous and the men are held to
await developments. Three mule
oackers and two rough riders were ar
rested a few minutes alter tne snoot
ing. The man who was shot is not
seriously injnred.
This evening major Jfercy, wno is
in charge of the rough-riders remain
ing here, called at police headquarters
He was told that there was no doubt
about the identification of the men
and that it would probably go very
hard with them. The major expressed
the hope this would be the case, be
lieving that the punishment of the cul
m-its would have a good eitect upon
the trooos generally. He spoke of
having requested the guard to be easy
on the men. and said that the bad con
duct of these few would bring the en
tire camp again under the strictest dis
cipline.
SPAIN'S QUEEN REGENT.
Rumored That Her Position is Untenable
and That She Will Soon Resign.
Anxious for Mediation.
By Cable to tbe Morning Star.
London. June 23. The Vienna cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
All tbe information that reaches here
from Madrid proves beyond a doubt
that the position of the Queen Regent
has become altogether untenable and
that Her Majesty will resign the re
gency within a very short period.
It may prove feasible to establish a
regency council under arrangements
of the bill for the existing dynasty,
but according to present indications,
this appears questionable. In well in
formed quarters here it is believed
that the next defeat for the Spaniards
will upset the conditions prevailing in
Madrid, where the situation is already
extremely confused."
London, June 23. The Berlin cor
respondent of the Standard says:
"The Queen Regent has privately
caused those sovereigns who are her
relatives to be directly sounded, and
those whom she regards as friends to
be indirectly sounded, as to whether
they are willing to mediate, but the
stage of diplomatic negotiations has
not yet been reached and it is very
doubtful whether it will be, for some
time to come.

LATE ADVICES
FROM HAVANA,
Denial of the Reported Attempt
to Assassinate Captain
General Blanco.
EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
Why It Cannot Be Allowed in the Case of
Lieut. Hobson and His Men Expla
nation of the Order Concerning
Flags of Trace,
rCopyrlghted 1888 by tbe Associated Press.
Havana, June 22, 10.40 A. M.
There is absolutely no foundation for
the report published in the United
States of an attempt to assassinate
Captain General Blanco by a member
of the volunteers, whose brother, it
was alleged, had been shot for com
plicity in a plot against the govern
ment. General Blanco enjoys the
esteem of all classes in Havana, in
cluding the volunteers, and is regard
ed with the utmost confidence as the
representative of Spanish sovereignty.
The Cubans admit that they are un
der obligations to General Blanco
for the establishment of auton
omy in the island. The palace
guards are from the volunteers, and
several officers of that body are aides
on the general's staff. General Blanco's
public appearances are frequently the
occasions of patriotic demonstrations,
and that he has no fear of assassination
is shown by the fact that he often
rides out without escort, visiting the
fortifications about Havana without
the attendance of the usual body
guard.
Complete tranquility reigns in Ha
vana. The greatest conhdence is felt
that the Spanish forces will success
fully cope with the American soldiers,
who were yesterday reported to have
arrived on board transports off the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba. There is
great enthusiasm among, the troops
and volunteers, who are all anxious to
light against the invaders.
The Exchange of Prisoners.
Captain General Blanco denies that
he has decided that there shall be no
exchange of prisoners with the
United States. At the same time, the
captain-general says he cannot allow
the exchange of Lieutenant Hobson
and the others of the party who sailed
the Merrimac into the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago de Cuba, for the
reason that the lieutenant and his
companions had opportunities for see
ing the harbor and its defences. The
most common prudence, the captain
general says, would forbid that these
men now be given their liberty as pro
posed by the United states.
Has Not Forbidden Flag of Trace.
Captain General Blanco added that
he had not forbidden the approach of
vessels bearing flags of truce, but had
only ordered that no vessel be permit
ted to approach within six miles of
the shore, so that it may be made im
possible for officers of the United
States to make drawings of or inspect
fortresses.
TROOPS AT JACKSONVILLE.
All the Men Contented The Camp an
Ideal One Water Supply Perfect
Climate Salubrious.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 22. It
may be a comfort to some Iowa, Wis
consin, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia,
North Carolina and Mississippi mothers
to know that their sons, serving here
in Camp Cuba Libre as members of
the Seventh armv corns. U. S. V..
seem less likely to be sick than if they
were at home, and are not in any
sense suffering hardships. The Asso
ciated Press correspondent just inter
viewed at random, fully two score pri
vates, representing all the regiments.
Not one complained. Then he saw a
number of officers who expressed de
cided satisfaction at their surround
ings and supplies. Then Chief Sur
geon Maus took the correspon
dent to the division hospitals,
that the inmates thereof numbered
less than one per cent, of the total
rank and file. Dr. Maus, who is of the
regular army and has no local preju
dices, said the camp is ideal, the water
supply perfect as to both quantity and
quality, and the climate actually saiu
brious. The chief surgeon has many
plans fr caring for the sick, and of
these plans a number are now in sue
cessful operation. Gen. Lee is well
pleased, not only with the camp and
its surronndings, but with the discip
line and morality of the troops. Prom
inent citizens point Out that the men
at Jacksonville have behaved in such
exemplary fashion that they have
earned the approbation of all the resi
dents. Not a single case of brawling
or insubordination is reported."
It is well also to note that promi
nent civilian physicians, agents for
the Red Cross and kindred organiza
tions, join in all the compliments be
stowed by their army conferes upon
damn Cuba Libre.
There is room for a full corps of
twenty-seven regiments in the present
camn and available ground adjoining.
and the place is easily accessible by

The men here seem anxious to go to
the front, but this anxiety is natural
to the American soldier and is not fos
tered by discomforts in their present

OCCUPATION OF MANILA.
Parts of Crews of Foreign Warships Said
to Have Landed Upon Invitation
of
the Spanish Government
By Cable to tbe Morning Star.
LoNDON,vJune 23. The Daily News
publishes a statement, alleged to
come from a correspondent having
access to good information, that the
occupation of Manila by parts of the
crews of the foreign warships there is
an accomplished fact, although it may
probably be three or four days before
the official news arrives by way of
Hong Kong.
The communication proceeds to say :
'Over a month ago Admiral Dewev
prepared to bombard Manila. At this
juncture, however, a new factor was
added to tbe situation. The German
consul, acting on precise instructions,
wnicn naa just arrived by the Uer
man warship Irene, strongly opposed
a bombardment. These . instructions
were clear and categorical and ema
nated directly from Emperor Wil
liam's cabinet.
:' It was then that Admiral Dewev
asked for reinforcements and supplied
Aguinaldo with arms. While Ger
many gathered a naval force, the in
tention at Berlin was, if not to take
possession of Manila, at least to co
operate in the landing, Admiral
Dewey's force not being sufficient
to protect German interests. Can-
tain
Oreneral Augusti had, on his
part, informed his government of
the situation and several inter
views took place at Madrid with the
German ambassador, the result being
that it was decided that Captain Gen
eral Augusti should appeal to the for
eign warships at Manila, excluding
the American, to protect the lives and
property of the inhabitants against the
nsurgents.
It was an indirect way of capitu
lating, while sparing Spanish amour
propre. There is no doubt Admiral
von Diedenchs has taken command of
the forces landed, although he has
taken possession in behalf of Ger
many. But will he, when the Amer
ican reinforcements arrive, be willing
to allow his forces to re-embark? The
whole question lies there."
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
ineir rinai Disposition may Yet Be a
Subject of Dispute Between Euro-
pean Powers.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
London, June 23. -The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times, commenting
on the continued discussion of the
Philippine question, says:
"There would be a storm of indigna
tion in the German press if the United
States were to become master of the
Philippines, while Germany got noth
ing. In the view of many German
politicians anything would be better
than that, and they would even prefer
to see the intervention of several Eu
ropean powers to protect the life and
Property of their subjects from the re
els, followed by the acquisition of a
naval station for each of them.
'"There is, in fact, a strong inclina
tion to repeat the Chinese drama at
Kiao-Chou whenever an opportunity
is afforded. Relatively to what Ger
many already possesses she has every
thing to gain by such a policy of fair
shares all around. There can,nowever,"
be little doubt that no European power
Or combination of powers would ven
ture to prevent the United States and
Great Britain from settling the future
of the Philippines conjointly, or at
least under the protection of their con
joint naval forces. Continental opin
ion woum not omy speeauy acKnowi
edge the strength of an Anglo-Ameri
can alliance, but would be practically
unanimous against incurring the risk
of the commercial consequences of
a breach with the United States.
London, June 23. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Daily Mail,
on the authority of a prominent mem
ber of the cabinet, says;
"The government has not yet form
ulated a definite policy as to the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico, but, while
indisposed to retain the Philippines,
it will hot allow them again to be
subject to Spanish rule. JJ the inde
pendence of the Philippines proves a
failure, the island, perhaps, might be
sold, preferably to trreat .Britain, t'orto
Rico might be permanently retained,
owing to its proximity to the United
States and its strategic value."
THIRD MILITARY EXPEDITION.
Will Leave San Francisco for the Philip
pines Monday Arrangements for

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, June 22. Quarter
master General Luddington of the War
Department received a telegram to
day from Quartermaster Long at San
Francisco, saying that the third .mili
tary expedition for the Philippines
will leave San Francisco Monday next
on six transports, namely, the Ohio,
lUUiaua, JlJ vri x wa, .iu.vriAi. ,
Valencia, and Newport. He added
that General Merritt. commanding the
new department of the Pacific, and
prospective governor-general of the
Philippines probably will accompany
the expedition on the Indiana.
Maior General Otis, the next in com
mand, will accompany the fourth ex-
TwHHnn tn thp Philimnnes. Quarter
master Long says also that the City of
Pueblo probably will be turned over to
the government to-morrow morning,
but will hardly be ready to sail with
the other vessels on Monday. Her de
parture will not be delayed more than
a day or two and it is probable that
she will overtake the expedition at
Honolulu and accompany it to Ma

New York, June 22. The cotton
market opened steady, with price 3 to
5 points nurner on local coveriner and
light foreign buying inspired by a
more favorable set of English cables
than looked for. Following- the call
distant months eased off to last night's
bid prices under realizing:, but the
market maintained a generally steady
undertone on local support. Subse-
?uent Liverpool cables reflected a
everish market for futures at that
point and encouraged local bears to
hammer the new crop positions to
some extent. This cotton was readily
absorbed, however, and at 11 o'clock
the undertone was steady with prices
one to two points net nigner.
