June 29v7 A- M., and Kings ton, Jamaica. 9:30 A. M. The prepar ations for a general advance of the American troops on Santiago de Cuba are being pushed steadily forward and troops of all branches of the service are beiuff hurried to the front. General Kent's division, consisting of the brigade of General Hawkins, Coionel Pearson and Colonel "Worth, has joined, General Lawton's division, and with the cavalry division of Gen eral Wheeler and four batteries of light artillery, will now be strung out in the rear of General Lawton's division. The front still rests on the second crossing of the Rio Guama river, on the road to Santiago de Cuba, in the rear of the Sevilla hills and a mile and a half back. The brigade of General Bates, the Thirty-third Michigan regi ment and a battalion of the .Thirty-, fourth Michigan regiment, which were landed yesterday by the auxiliary cruiser Yale, remain at Juragua or Sibojtt". - - -J M. n i i ruidiu tiucui isciaycu. The delay in the general forward movement is due to the inability to get subsistence stores to the front rapidly enough. The advance, ! is said, ynu not be ordered until every man has three days rations in his knap sack. Tii is. however, is impos sible until the road is passable for wagon traius. The pack trains can only convey one day's rations in a day. The inen constructing the bridge roads have the work almost completed and this afternoon thefirst wagon train of four 6-ruule teams will go through. In two or three.days more every man will have three days rations in his knap sack a"Al as soon as that occurs the army will move upon the enemy. The day has been utilized to good ad vantage. Although the Cubans affect to have a thorough knowledge of the country and the trails, nothing is taken for granted and the whole coun try, front and flank, is being thorough Iv reconnoitred and an accurate map has been made by the engineers. Much J of the information thus obtained will be of inestimable value. Scouting Parties. Last night. General Mendonca, of Lawton's staff, made a recon- Genera! noissau c up to the very trenches of the enemy, tueir sentries talkins on picket l.i'y being plainly heard. Cor poral D .vey and nine sharpshooters from the Seventh infantry went out at dark 1 ist night, with one day's rations t vard the Spanish lines and they h i. e not yet returned, but no Tsar is ::t ; t.iin.ed for their safety. It is believe ', thr- v are probably lying in the bit-iii .waitiug for night. At daylight this morning, Lieu tenant Smith, of the Fourth infantry, with a detail of fifty men from the Seventh infantry, under Lieutenant Dearfoe. crossed the San Juan and went in a northeasterly direction as far as Caney or El Gaumey as it is martcea on the maps without en counter; -i- any Spanish troops, and fifty men of company A, Seventh regiment, under Captain You ng, als o made a r wonnoissance in force. The Spaniards have seemingly retired to their "entrenchments, as no pickets or skirmishers were encountered. General Lawton, General Wheeler and General Chaffee have had riders out beyond our advance posts several times. Captiiti Wright, of General Bates' staff, to-day followed the line of th railroad manias out of Juraeua to ward Smtiago de Cuba, to within two and one half miles of the city. The road approaches within a mile and one-naif, of our front and can be uti- nzed to brino- up supplies and siege guns: the first of which .were landed KBatiqmri this afternoon. Shelling Aguidores As soon as the remaining battalions of the Thirty-fourth Michigan and Eighth Massachusetts, which arrive on we Harvard to-morrow, and the six thousand reinforcements sent out from lampa, reach here, Aguidores, a town on uie coast, four miles west of Jura gua and about the same distance east ot the harbor entrance, will be taken, fne place was shelled to-dav bv several ships of the fleet, Aguidores is on the line of the advance of the army into the interior and close to the railroad.

Santiago's Water Supply. Sibony, Province of Santiago de Cuba. June 28, via Kingston, Ja., June 29, 10:30 A. M. It is reported here to-night, on apparently good authority, that the water supply of Santiago de Cuba has been cut off. If this proves true, the city is at our mercy. (J-eneral Wheeler to-dav forwarded his official report of the encounter be tween the Spaniards and Colonel Young's and Colonel Wood's com mands. The officers are highly com- ?Iimented for their dash and courage, he general says there is absolutely no warrant for the statement that our troops were ambushed, hie savs the attack was deliberately planned, from knowledge in his possession. the night before. The Hying Squadron. Copyrighted 1896 by the Associated Press. On the Associated Press Dis patch Boat Dauntless, off San tiago de T3UBA, Tuesday, June 28, night, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Wednesday morning, June 29, by way of Kingston, Jamaica, June 29, 1 r. M. The flying squadron, hith erto commanded by Commodore Schlev, has lost its identity bv an or der issued to-day bv Rear Admiral Sampson, and it has been merged into the fleet under the admiral. The or der caused considerable surprise on board the Brooklyn, which has been the flagship of the flying squadron, where it was supposed the squadron would remain intact, at least until the fall of Santiago de Cuba. Commodore Schley has been assigned to command the second squadron, attached to Ad miral Sampson's fleet Geo. Panto's Forces. From two Cuban officers picked Up b v the Vixen to-dav it has been learned that General Pando is moving east ward from Manzanillo with 8,700 Spanish troops; for the purppse of as sisting the beleaguered city or San tiago de Cuba. The Cubans had come to Aserradoes. in small boats, witn dispatches from General Rios for Ad miral Sampson and uenerai Kaoi. They report that General Pando has with him seven battalions (numbering 8,700 men) with cattle and a pack train with provisions, rie leit Man zanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, on June 22nd, o relieve General Linares. The Spaniards were moving at the rate of twelve miles a day when the messengers left and, at their pres ent speed, it is expected they will reach Santiago de Cuba next Sunday, Julv drd. The Cubans have a small force hauging on the Spanish flank and rear, and are harassing Gen. Pando's troons at everv step. Manzanillo is 172 miles west of Santiago ae uuna, and the roads are in bad condition. The Cubansl'sav that if Gen. Pando reaches his aroal it will be with less than half the force he started with. The Cubans who are harassing him onlv number about 200 men, but in the passes and in the bush they are at a crreat advantage. It is probable that immediate stens will be taken to throw a force of Americans and Cubans between General Fando ana General Linares.

Eight Thousand of Pando's Forces Are Expected to Reach Santiago Sunday and Other Reinforcements for the Spaniards Expected. By Telesrraph to the Morning star. Washington, June 29. The opin ion prevails here that within a day or two at most, General Shatter will have begun bis attack upon the city of Santiago proper. The important event of the day was the general's announce ment that he could take the city ih forty-eight hours, but at considerable loss. Taken in connection with the announcement contained in another dispatch that he is going to attack without awaiting reinforcements, it will be seen that the officials have ground for their expectation that the first general engagement of the war will begin in a very short time. Nu merically, the opposing armies are not very different, the estimate of the Spanish force being placed at 14,000 men thoroughly entrenched and behind barbed wire fences and block houses, as against about 18,000 men under Shafter's command, aided by 4,000 Cubans. One of the gravest elements in the problem, however, is the Span ish warships, for unless Shafter is ma terially assisted by Sampson, who might engage the full attention of the Spanish ships, their fire upon the American advance officers say would bevery hard to meet Shafter Most Fight Soon. The military authorities here say that General Linares has shown great military tact in slowly retirine durinr the last few days, as he has gradually drawn our troops awav from the pro tection of the American shins and brought them close to the fire of the Spanish ships in Santiago harbor. For this reason, it was with relief that the announcement was received here that Shafter had succeeded in landing all of his artillery including his siege train, for unless Sampson can be re- iieu upon w iorce nis way into the harbor and attack the Spanish ships, the siege guns, planted on heisrnts commanding the bay, will be the main reliance of General Shafter in off -set- tins the presence of the Spanish iron clads. Undoubtedly Shafter is ani mated to attack as soon as possible by bis Knowledge of the approach of the reinforcements for Linares from Manzanillo, for with this additional force Shafter's position would be dis agreeable if not perilous, at least until he had received reinforcements. The War Department received the first definite news to-day as to the ap proach of these Spanish reinforce ments. This was in an official dis patch, stating that 8,000 men with pack trains and droves of animals were advancing from Manzanillo and were fifty-four miles from Santiago. t has been known through reports from Lieutenant Joyce, made to Gen. Miles, that the Spaniards have 12,000 men at Manzanillo and 10,000 at Hol- gum, and every precaution has been taken to guard against their ad vance from either quarter. The official report to-day showed that 8, 000 of those at Manzanillo had cov- vered half the distance to -Santiago, and it is the belief of military officials here that u-eneral .Fando is making similar advance with his 10,000 men from Holguin. These advances, now practically unopposed, are regarded as one of the most serious phases of the situation. There is the further elementjto which the military "authorities are giving careful attention, that one man in trenched behind earthworks or in rifle pits, is worth three men in the open. It is said that the battles of Chancellorsyille and spottsyivania afford the most direct proof on this point. It was announced at the war de partment that by their reports 3,000 soldiers should be leaving Tampa to- dav to join Shafter. They will be three or four davs on the vovaere and it is probable that it is this force that General Shafter refers to as likely to arrive too late for his action. y A Message from Dewey. The Navy Department to-day gave out a message from Admiral Dewey which was brought to Hong Kong by the McCulloch. so that it must have left Cavite on the 23rd. The admiral made no reference to the landing of German marines and the officials here are satisfied that Germany is acting in good faith and according to the rules of neutrality. i The report that the Egyptian gov ernment had finally refused coal to Camara's fleet at Port Said has not vet been officially confirmed, but its accuracy is not questioned. There is still some doubt whether this refusal in itself will operate to prevent the further movement of the Spanish squadron towards the Philippines, as Madrid advices alleged a purpose on the part of the Spanish government to send additional colliers with the ex nedition to overcome the refusal of the various ports along the way to the Philippines to supply coal, mere is a st.ronsf imnressibn. however, that the Spanish government will avail itself of the pretext afforded by this refusal to turn the fleet back to Spain. TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS. McMillin Nominated for Governor- -Chi- cago Platform Reaffirmed. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 29. Hon. Benton McMillin was nominated for Governor of Tennessee to night by the Democratic State Convention. The nomination was made by acclamation amid great enthusiasm. The platform endorses the enunciation of principles of the Chicago platform, and declares for the monev of the constitution by a law nrovidincr for , the free and un limited coinage of silver at a ratio of i to 1 without waiting for the con sent of any other nation ; opposes the hond issue for raising war funds, and declares that non-interest bearing TrAasmrv warrants would furnish a circulating medium that would ac complish all that was required inprose Antinop war. and also declares that ob ligations of the United States should hA naid in either gold or silver at the option of the government and not the creditor. Mr. P. Ketcham. of Pike City, Cal., says: "During my brother's late sick ness from sciatic rheumatism, Cham berlain's Pain Balm was the only rem edy that gave him any relief."

Cruiser Brooklyn Said to Have Been Sank and Commodore Schley and Seamed Killed. Copyrighted 1898 by the Associated Press. Kingston, Ja., June 29, 11 P. M. The Spanish consul here has received a cablegram from Santiago de Cuba, asserting that the United States cruiser Brooklyn has been struck by a Spanish shell, which sank the vessel and killed Commodore Schley ana twenty-four seamen. The Spanish consul really believes the "news," and the Spaniards all over the city are drinking champagne and rejoicing. It has also been reported to the Spanish consul from Santiago that an extensive mine has been laid which will blow up half the American army when it enters the city. Washington, June 30. At 1.15 o'clock this morning when officers on duty at the Navy Department were shown a copy of the above dispatch, they expressed disbelief in the story. Not a word has been received from Admiral Sampson, they said, since Tuesday night, and the officers regard it as -certain that had anything of the kind recounted in the dispatch hap- Eened, the admiral wouldimmediately ave informed the denartment. Kingston, Ja., June 29, 9 30 P. M. Senor Shavez. former! v sacretarv to Governor-General Blanco but now a Spanish agent in Jamaica, has char tered two English schooners, the Gov ernor Blake and the Onpan T?'lrwr in convey food to Manzanillo for the Spanish troops. ' - The vessels are now loading- at Mon- tego bay. Admiral Sampson has been notified and they will probably be turned back by an American cruiser. THE SITUATION AT MANILLA. Advices Received in Washington from Ad- miral Dewey Reports from Madrid. Desperate Fighting Expected. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, June 29. The Navy Department to-day made public the Following cablegram from Admiral Dewey, brought by the McCulloch to Hong Kong and, though, undated, supposed to have been sent from Ca vite June 23rd : "No change in the situation since my telegram of June 17th- Five Ger man, three British, one French and one Japanese men-of-war in port.

Dis patches received from Manila to day under date of June 24th say the Spaniards are determined to fight to the death and that there is every reason to believe that when the Americans arrive, desperste fighting will occur on land and sea. It is supposed at Manila that the German warships will prevent the bombardment of that place and it is alleged that Prince Henry, of Prussia, is on his way there, on board a war ship. (J-eneral Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, declares that the family of Captain General Augusti, who are prisoners in his hands, are at Pan Panga and are well treated. SPAIN'S THIRD SQUADRON. Camara's Ships Said to Have Begun . Passage of the Suez Canal. 1 By Cable to the Morning Star. Madrid, June 29. In an interview this afternoon Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war, said the gov ernment had no special news from Cuba but took a favorable view of the situation. He asserted that Admiral Camara's squadron had begun the passage of the Suez canal. It is announced that the vittona. the Numancia, the Alfonso XIII and the Lepanto. all armored cruisers, are readv to form the third sauadron.

TMt CCMTAUR dWMPIK, TT MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. COTTON MARKETS. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, June 29. Speculation in cotton to-day was limited to small lots, more for the closing out of obli gations than a desire to make new ventures. The opening was dull at unchanged prices to 1 point advance. After sagging off 2 to 3 points under general lack of speculative support, the market became flat and showed little energy throughout the balance of the session. The close was easy at a net loss of 1 to 4 points. New York, June 29. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 6c.
