London, July- 22. In the House of Commons today Mr. Goschen; First Lord of Admiralty, announced that the government would build four battle ships, four cruisers and twelve torpedo boat destroyers within the next three and a half years, at a total cost of 8, 000,000. The government adhered firm jy to the idea or maintaining a navy equal to any two f Great Britain's strongest naval rivals. Mr. Goschen explained that the pres ent strengthening of England's navy was directly due to Russia's action. The subsequent debate was strongly anti Russian in its tenor. As regards the larger new cruisers. two would be 550 feet long, with a dis placement of 14,100 tons, and they would have a speed of 23 knots. They would mount 9.2-inch breech-loading guns, sixteen 6-inch quick-firers, and fourteen 12-pounder quick-firers. They would have vertical side armor six inches thick, and strong steel decks. Members of the House cordially re ceived the proposals of the admiralty. Sir Charles Dilke, however, complain ed that the House was not adequately informed regarding the Russian pro gramme, and said that Great Britain was not spending enough money on her navy, considering her wealth. FOOD SCARCE AT SANTIAGO. Orders Given for Sanitation of the City. Spanish Soldiers to Leave Soon. Santiago, July 22. No vessels laden with food, save the City of Texas, have arrived here since the surrender, and the distress among the inhabitants continues very great. Clara. Barton is doing noble work, and Spaniard and Cubans alike offer prayers for her ev ery day and call her blessed. A num ber of business houses have cabled steamers to bring food. Prices of all food are very high. The low tariff es tablished by the American government will, when supplies begin to come in, keep prices down. Before he left for Porto Rico, Gen. Miles sent a message to Gen. Garcia askinr for 50 Cubans for service in Cuba. Garcia had already withdrawn, angered at the treatment received from Shafter, but a messenger was sent af ter him. Garcia ahd his army are npw on the way to Jlgnan. Toral has been notified that the first division of his army will depart on Spanish steamers July 24th. The sol diers are eager and delighted to go home. . Orders were given yesterday for thor ough cleaning of the city, and the work is to be thoroughly done. The civil gov ernor issued a proclamation to the in habitants, instructing them as to new sanitary measures and directing that they be strictly enforced. The hew mil itary governor, General Wood, of the Rough Riders, is giving the greatest satisfaction in the performance, of his new duties.

Garcla's letter to Shafter and his subsequent withdrawal of his forces has caused great uneasiness in administration cir cles. Already steps have been taken to placate Garcia and restore harmony be tween him and Shafter.
