Boi;b Secretaries Long sod Alger were st nee White Hoase daring the evening, bot returned to their residences early sod gave no outward sign of anxiety or expectation of startling sews The arrival of Geo Miles and the confer? ences between bim and the command? ing officers of the army and navy is taken by some to indicate that if fight? ing oooorred to-day it was sot of a eonoas character/for, with a heavy en? gagement in progress, ic was hardly possible that Admiral Sampson or Geu. Shafter would find time for conference It is thought that possibly the arrival of Gen Miles caused a suspension of I active operations io order that the en- j tire situation might be discussed. Bat j tbis view of tbe situation is speculation, aod without definite advices no one can gay exactly what the day bas brought | forth at Santiago. Officiels conteud that a delay of a j day or so can only result io bettering tbe position of the Americao forces, give opportunity for the reinforcements to go to the front and allow the newiy arrived artillery to bs placed io advan? tageous location. lt is believed tbat if the coBfliet was oot resamed to-day, a final attack is oot far distant. FLEET IN ACTION AGAIN ON SUN DAY. Agaador*s, Coba, July IO., via Port Antonio and Kingston, Ja , July ll-The Brooklyn, Texas and lodi ana, under Commodore Schley, began the bombardment of the city of San tiago at 5.15 this afternoon, in obe? dience io a request from Gen. Sbaf ter, conveyed by a signal from the shore The warships lined up from east to west, a quarter of a mile from the shore, and fired over the limestone cliffs that come down to the sea and hide the city, five miles away The bombardment was continued for one hour. After 35 shots bad been fired from the 8 inch gone Commodore Schley became convinced that the Brooklyn's firing was falling short, and ordered a cessation, permitting the battleships to continue, they, with their larger guns having longer range. The shots were fired apparently with great de liberation and at intervals of two minutes The signals from the shore announced that the shelis fell a thou sand feet short and a little to the left of the Spanish position At dusk the squadron ceased firing and Commo? dore Schley sent a launch to the shore to ask Gen. Shafter if he de? sired firing continued duriog the night When the Associated Press re? porter went aboard the Brooklyn, Commodore Schley said be was igno? rant of the purpose of the bombard? ment The Associated Press report? er read to him a message received at Juragua from a mounted courier saying the armistice was ended and that hostilities bad been resumed Cmmodore Schley said ; "Gen. Shafter signaled to me to begin the bombardment as soon as I could get into position I doubted from the start whether I could hit the city. I had to guess at its location and be very careful not to injure our own army If I bombard to morrow I shall have range marks on shore to guide me and I shall take the ships closer to the shore than to-day. The water off Aguadores is so smooth that ocr raarkmanship was not affect? ed by the swaying of the ships. In firing.to day. I gave the turrets the greatest possible elevation by listing the ships. But I knew I would fail short. The guns will carry more than five miles, but to throw shots over the cliff a great elevation is re? quired " When the Dandy left Aguadores at 7 o'clock the warships were stilt in position. During the bombardment the Dandy lay a quarter of a mile be? bind the line of ships When the bombardment begau a heavy rainstorm was in progress, with thunder and lightning, but artillery fire could be heard on shore, indicating that Gen Shafter had re? sumed hostilities immediately on the ending of the armistice Negotiations Broken Off. Geo. ? baiter's Headquarters, oear Santiago, Joly 10, via Pojrt Antonio, Ja , July ll, 8 a m., yia Kingston, Ja -At 11.30 this morning Geo. Shafter notified Geo. Toral, the Span? ish commander, that, by President McKinley's direction, the Spanish proposition to surrender if the garrison were allowed to leave Sao tiago ?with its side arms was rejected, and that the United States would accept no terms, but immediate and uuoooditioDal sur reeder. Geo. Toral at 2 45 p. m , replied io a brief note that he rejected President McKinley's proposal and wotald discuss no other terms than those "Suggested by himself - At 3 15 p. m Geo. Shafter notified Gen. Toral that the armistice would be terminated and hostilities resumed at 4 o'clock At tbe same time he issued instructions to each of the division commanders to prepare for a fresh at? tack oo the Spanish works These orders have been promulgated from Aquadores to El Caney. Wheo the oourier left with this dis? patch, just before 4 o'clock, the artil? lery was preparing to open oo the Spaniards at the end of the armistice. The dynamite guns bad been trained on the Spaoish blockhouse with such absolute preoinioo that tba first shot would obliterate it. The American soldiers will sleep to t.be trenches to night. Eight batteries of light artillery will .be io position at midnight tonight aod the seige guns jast landed will he ready for action at 10 a. m. to-morrow. Gen. Shafter said to a correspondent of the Associated Press this afternoon: vGen. Henry and his division are now landing at Juragua and are coming no as rapidly es possible. Our lines cannot bc made more effeoiive, but if ! the chance offers to increase our strength, I will take advantage of it. "I shall not be eurprued if we have ? Santiago io three days. "At El Caney there are 10,000 nais- j erable refugees trom Santiago, old men, wemeu and children, whom the Sr.an I iards have permitted to go to our lines to get food. The plight of these help- j less people is heartrending The Americans are doing ail they can tor them." Off Santiago de Cuba, via Playa del Este, July ll -At half past 9 this morning after several range finding shots over the ridge protecting Saoti ago fruin the sea, the United States cruiser Newark opened firs into the city with ber 8 inob guns. The signa! corps cfa?ers stationed on top of the ridge reported the effect of ?be Phots 1 be New York, Brooklyn and In? dian* participated io the firing at inter? vals of five minutes The bombardment lasted for two boars, wheo Gen. Shafter reported that the shells were mostly faliiog in the bay and doing but tittle damage. The last sbor, however, struck a prominent oborob in tbe heart of the city which was heavily stored with pow? der s-od ammunition, causing a tre raeodous erplostoo. The extent of the damage is not yet known When the warships ceased firing and before Geo Sbafter bad begun a land attack, a flag of truce was seen com? ing from tbe city The object of this was not known at noon wheo the cor? respondent of the Associated Press left the froot. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the United States auxiliary croiser Yale, with Geo. Nelson A Miles and the United States protected cruiser Colum? bia arrived. Bear Admiral Sampson visited Geo Miles immediately on bis arrival and then the Yale went to Siboney, Gen. Exiles and his personal staff laodiog in a pouring rain - maw itt* mm Washington, July 12-Gen.

Gen Linares who has resumed com? mand, although still suffering from his wounds is contemplating the sur? render of the city and his entire army. Gin Shafter has completely sar rounded the city and all avenues of escape are cut off on all sides His lines were strengthened this morning by the arrival of more troops and guns. Tho Spanish army cannot escape and will be forced to surren? der in a short time, if Gen Linares does not surrender now to prevent the great loss of life and destruction of property in the city that will re? sult if it has to be taken by storm.

CATED IN SPAIN. Madrid, July 12-The leading newspapers are now advocating peace if it can be brought about by the surrender of Coba. Peace on any other terms is declared to be out of the question. They insist that Spain must retain possession of the Philippines and Porto Rico at all hazards WAR TAX ON MESSAGES. Atlanta, Ga., July ll.-The Geor? gia railroad oommisstoo has taken the position tbat the requirement by the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Southern Express Company that their patri?os pay the war tax on messages and receipts as a condition precedent to the seodiog of telegrams and package? amount to an exaction of that much io addition to their usual rates. These companies have beeo cited to appear July 19 and show cause, if they can, why they would not be held to ' be guilty of euch exactions, in violation of the commission's rules Admiral Camara is English on his mother's side, for his father, who was a marine captain, married a Miss Liver? more, in Liverpool. He, like bis com? rade. Admiral Cervcra, graduated from the Naval Academy at San Fernando, which be entered in the very year that the latter was leaving (1851). He saw service in the Morocco expedition, and did not gain his captaincy until 1871. In private life Admiral Camara is some? what of a moody reciuse. He is an ardent monarchist, and was one of those who advocated the giving of crown of Spain to Alfonso XII. Since the death of Mr. J. D. Goings treaeurer of Union county, a 6hort time ago, there has been a big scram ble among those wbo wanted to step in the late treasurer's shoes, although the appointment would only be for the short unexpired term. The matter was settled yesterday when Mr. M. C Deaver of Carlisle was named for the place, and a commission was issued to bim forthwith. Shaffer Would Save Spaniards' Lives. Tbe Escape of the Enemy Has Been Cut off in Every Direction. Before Santiago, via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July 12 -This morning Gen. Toral sent a reply to Gen. Shaffer's seoond demand for the unconditional surrender of Saotiago, made by the Utter yesterday afternoon. in his reply Gen. Toral referred to his refusal to accede to the American demand made on Sunday and again re? iterated his determination to resist. Notwithstanding this the American batteries did not open fire this morning, and the renewal of the bombardment will probably be postponed until to-mor? row (Wednesday), whee it is hoped that all of Gen Randolph's batteries will be in position. The siege goos landed yesterday will also be brought ap as soon as possible. Torrents of rain fell last night, drowning out the boys in tte trenches and making the road almost impassable. This may delay the batteries and siege guns. The volunteers, who are beiog berried to the front, are being located along the right centre io the positions which have been occupied by Gen. Lawton's division, while tbe latter has moved forward, extending our right until it almost touches the road to Cai menes, over which Gen. Toral woold have to retreat if be should now be foolhardy enough to make the attempt. The Cubans under Geo. Calixto Garoia took Calmen es without opposi? tion Monday night and have entrench? ments on either side of the road. The Americans are now in position to strike the enemy on the left flank and roll it ap, making tbe Spanish entrenchments north of the city untenable. Gen. Toral, realizing the weakness of this flank, has been busy daring the existence of the truce in doabliog back with entrenchments and fixing his guns in the direction from which be is threat? ened. Most of Gen. Randolph's guns will be located opon the heights of the center of Gen. Lawton's new position where they command the town. Yesterday afternoon the Capron and Hane batteries on the right succeeded in tearing up the emplacements of a "palm battery/' as it is called, and io plumping shells into several blockhouse on salients, bat the shots directed at the Spaniards in the trenches did cot appear to have much effect Shrapnel was rapidly broken direotly over the trenches, yet io five minutes the trench* es at every point of explosion woald be alive with the enemy. They would watoh for the flash of our goes and drop before tbe shells exploded. Our mortar fire was directed at the Spanish bull ring and tore up almost everything in the vicinity. It is un? derstood that the hull ring '4is1 bei?g used as a barracks. Three large steamers lie in the har? bor, alongside the Philadelphia Iron company's wharf, and a small Spanish gunboat is aoohored at the bead of the bay. All these could be plainly seen by the Associated Press correspondent. The First Illinois volunteers aod the District of Columbia volunteers are now located in the trenches that were occu? pied last week by Gen. Chaffee's bri? gade Washington, July 13.-Last night was one of anxious waiting both at the White House and at the war depart? ment. Information from Geo . Shafter had been momentarily expected, but up to 1:15 o'clock this morning not a word of official news had been received. Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July 12 -Capt. Young] of the Hist, commanding one expedition com? posed of the Hi6t, Hornet and Warn patuck, yesterday morning (Monday) while off Santa Cruz, succeeded in cutting the cable connecting Habana with Santiago via Cieufuegos, Trini? dad, Tunas and Manzanillo. RUSHING NOW. Chickamaoga, Joly ll.-Tbe great army at Camp Thomas is DOW being equipped with ail possible baste aod supplies are reaching the camp by the carload. There is an impression among the officers there that there will be a heavy movement daring the com? ing week. The First Ohio cavalry leaves tomorrow its preparations for departure being complete, lt is said the entire First corps will get away be? fore tbe end of the week, The second brigade, First corps, may get away to? morrow or Wednesday. The depar? ture of this brigade depends upon the ability of the officials to get transports to Charleston. Portsmouth, N. H. July 12 -With a new broom tied to the top of her fore? mast and a Japanese Hag flying from ber stern, the Japanese cruiser Kaeagi sailed into Portsmouth this "r'eraoon, after having made a speev. ot 22 3.4 koota an hoar, a quarter of a knot above the contract retirement, for a distance of 40 miles. The trial was made under conditions not the best, whiob tended to show the vessel's performance in stronger light. THE KILLED " ~~ AND WOUNDED Camp Near Santiago, Jaly 8, via Playa dei Este, Joly 9. Adjutant General, Washington : Complete report received to-day of loss on July 1 and 2. Killed, 22 j officers, 208 enlisted men. Wound j ed, 81 officers, 1,203 enlisted men. j Missing, 79 enlisted men. The re I ports giving the names of the killed j and wounded are being prepared and it is hoped to get them off to-morrow. SHAFTER. Three of Cervera's Ships May Yet Ply "Old Glory." Washington, July 9.-*Tbe following cablegram was reoeived from Admiral Sampson to-day : PLAYA DEL ESTE, Jttly 8. Seoretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C. : Preliminary report of board ordered to examine wrecks states that wreck? ing appliances should be gotten here immediately Think no doubt about saving Vizcaya, Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon, if haste be made. Co? len is much the most valuable, being in perfect order. Would recommend most powerful appliances be set at onoe. SAMPSON Thc department had already ar I ranppj with the Merritt-Chapman ! Wreckiog company to uodertake the { salvage of these vessels, and two of I the vessels of that company are now on : their way to Santiago. As Sampson's j dispatch makes out a mach strooger possibility of saving the .ships than was supposed, a copy of it bas been sent to the contractors, with the request to bas? teo the work and to be prepared to send additional assistance if it be found acc? essary. Can Save Ooly Infanta Mana Theresa. Off Santiago de Cuba, July 10, via Kingston, Ja , July ll, 11:30 a m) The board of survey appointed to examine the wrecks of the Spanish ships and to inquire into the nature of their injuries reports that only one ship can possibly be saved. She is the Infanta Maria Teresa, the former flagship of Admiral Cervera. The hull of the Cristobal Colon shows she was only hit six times and then only by shells of 8 inch, 5-inch and 6-inch calibre This verifies the ?tory that the commander of the Cristobal Colon surrendered because be saw she could not get away from the Brooklyn and Oregon, and to con? tinue the battle meant a sacrifice of life It was found that the brass plugs of the large guns and the bolts I and locks of the small arms had been thrown overboard. The Vizcaya showed she had been riddled by the Brooklyn and Oregon. She had not been struck by projec j tiles larger than 8 inches, i Her upper works were riddled by ! 1 and 6 pounder shells Nearly al! ! of these eheils exploded inside the ', superstructure and must have driven j the men from the guns This con? firms the 6tory of Capt Eulate that the Brooklyn's secondary fire was so . terrific that the men deserted their guns The survey board arrived at the wrecks of the Almirante Oquendo and Infanta Maria Teresa last night at , dark and the work consequently was pcstponod A singular fact noted on the four ships is that all the guns were train ; ed forward and the story that they ' were all directed to fire on the Brook lyn is, therefore, shown to be true The magazines of all the ships ex ploded and the efiect was to blow up the decks and not completely pulver? ize the hull or turn the keel up, as was in the case of the battleship Maine. This is looked upon as being important. SOUTHERN TROOPS SIDE TRACKED. Surprise and impatience that thus far not a single regiment, not a solita? ry battalion of southern troops, has been sent to the front are rapidly as? suming very emphatic proportions, and protests are going up from all over the south against this apparent discrimination. It ,was whispered in the beginning that the south was to be held back and now that her soldiers still rest on their arms in this country the mutter? ings increase daily. What is the explanation of this '( Must any part of the confraternity and good feeling brought about by the present war be sacrificed through the petty partisanship or prejudice of those in authority ? Shall any fur? ther color be given to the suspicion, freely circulated, even if unfounded, that the few opportunities given lead? ing southerners were, after ail, merely sops to Cerberus? The press of the whole south is ringing with these questions and it is time they were answered-not merely injwords, but by sending the southern boys to the front, where honor aud promotion await the victory which would inevitably be theirs -Augusta Herald.
