ABOUT STAMPS.
The following decisions on the war
revenue act. which have just been an
non need by the rtvenue department,
are of general interest:
Traveliug salesmen are not com
raercial brokers.
A 2 cent stamp must be attached to
every check, draft or money order
drawn by any person upon any other
perrson It is, therefore, not confined
to checks on banks, but extends to ali
orders for money
SaviugH banks may use a book
headed. "We, the undersigned, ac?
knowledge tc have received from
Savings Bank, the sum of money af?
fixed to our names, respectively,"
and in such cases no stamps are re?
quired.

More Fighting at Santiago.
General Shaftsr Makes a Re?
port -Final Bombardment
of the City Expected
to Begin To-day.
Washington. Joly 10.-"The bom?
bardment of Santiago has began "
That was the verbal information
obtained this evening shortly before
9 o'clock at the war department.
Almost immediately three bulletins
were posted, the most important of
which was from Geu Shafter This
dispatch announced that Gen Toral,
who succeeded Gen Linares in com?
mand of the Spanish forces in Santi
ago when the latter was wounded,
had declined to surrender uncondi?
tionally and that the bombardment of
the town would be begun by the
army and navy aboat 4 o'clock this
afternoon
The fact that the bombardment
waa scheduled by Shafter to begin
late in the day created some com
ment, but no explanation of it was
offered
Information received by the war
department during the few days of
truce indicates that Shafter has ma
terially strengthened his position
During the past week he has received
reinforcements of both artillery and
infantry Randolph's batter-/ of 24
gUBs which left Key West . c Tues?
day at midnight is now in position
before Santiago, and, as one of the
war department officials expressed it :
"When those long Toms of Ran
dolph's begin to talk, something will
happen in Santiago "
Gen Shafter has nearly 50 siege
guns and a large number of 7-inch
mortars, besides lighter artillery at
his disposal The guns, taken in
connection with the work that can be
done by the fleet, will, it is believed,
carry terror and destruction to Santi
ago.
Anxiety had been expressed by the
war department officials as to whether
Gen Shafter had a sufficient force to
prevent the evacuation of Santiago
by the enemy This anxiety was
allayed about half past 1*2 to night by
the receipt of the following dispatch
from Gen Shafter, which contained
confirmation, too, of the earlier re
ports of the beginning of the bom
bardment :
Headquarters Fifth Armv Corps.
Via Playa del E*t?, July 10.
To the r. djutaut General, Washing
ton :
Enemy opened fire a few minutes
past 4 with light guns which were
soon silenced by ours; very little
musketry firing and the enemy kept
entirely in their intrenchments. three
men slightly wounded Will have
considerable forces to morrow ;
enongh to completely block ail the
roads on the northwest I am quite
well
Gen Garcia reports that enemy
evacuated little town called Doscani
nos about three miles from Santiago
and near the bay Shafter
The belief is held by the best in
formed officials that Gen Tora), the '
Spanish commander will surrender
when he finds it will be impossible
for him to evacuate the city Upon
what ground this belief is baeed could
not be ascertained, but that informa*
tion to that effect is in the hands of
the war officials there is no doubt.
Gen. Shafter's dispatch tonight!
shows that be in engaged now in j
strengthening his position, and to j
morrow will follow up his operations
with a final assault upon the city
The news of the bombardment came
at the close of a busy Sunday in the
war department Previocs to the re
ceipt of this dispatch the secretary of
war had heard twice from Gen. ?>haf
ter. In the early morning came a
telegram saying that he had ridden
over the American lines and was
gratified at their condition A
second dispatch reported that the
lines were impregnable, ihos reroov
ing any fear of a successful sortie by
the Spanish troops, should ? ma
noenvre of this kind be attempted.
Both telegrams, which also emphasiz?
ed the fact that G?-n Shafter's physi?
cal condition had greatly improved,
were promptly shown io the Presi?
dent and occasioned him considerable
gratification
When questioned as to whether he
believed that theie had been a bom
bardment of the city, Gen. Corbin
replied : 'You know as much about
it as I do I have kept nothing back,
? should say, however, that the firing
to-day was but the preliminary to the
more serious business of to-morrow."
This being the case the attempt to
take the city wiil probably be made
to morrow.
Would-be constables are very plen?
tiful in South Carolina. Secretary
Harris has received 100 applications
for positions OG the constabulary
force in the past month. They were
turned down on account of an
absence of places
