navy st Santiago bad reached the de?
partments PO far as ?be public was in?
formed Though the possibility of in
terroptei cable ocmmaoicstioo was
suggested as an explanation for the
lacs of advices It was announced at
midnight that nothing had beeo filed at
Plays del Este for the officials here.
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

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

morning after several range finding
shots over the ridge protecting Saoti

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

Washington, July 12-Gen. Shaf?
ter wires that the Spanish have
hoisted a flag of trace over Santiago,
and have asked for another armistice.
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.
The shells from Sampson's fleet that

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

These companies have beeo cited to

guilty of euch exactions, in violation of

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

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

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,

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

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

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.
