I iff Santiago de Cuba, Saturday, June 11, 1 P. M., by the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kings ton, Jamaica, Sunday, June 12, 7 P. M, Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, with their com bined forces, are slowly but surely placing such a network about Santiago de Cuba, and are cutting off so effect ually every source of outside aid, that within a short time starvation's tap ping will give way to death's solid knock for admittance at the doors of the ill fated place. Within three days three separate sources of supply and reinforcement have been cut off and Santiago de Cuba is now isolated from the world and is down to famine rations. 0- ' . . When Admiral Cervera arrived at Santiago de Cuba, with his fleet, the people, welcomed him for the relief , the j thought he would bring, but in stead offlbod he brought them seven hundred men more to feed. The only aid he liad to offer was the tons of am munition iti his ship's magazines. A map of the harbor furnished to day by Spanish spies shows that, after the bombardment of the harbor forts by Commodore Schley on Tuesday, Mainrist, the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes, which was disabled, was towed into the bay behind the Socapa lattery, where she lies with two torpedo boats. ;"Half a mile further up, under the lee of Cav Smith and the mortar bat teries, is the Viseaya, commanding with her broadsides, the two narrow entrances to the .east and west of Cay Smith.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Magill was seen coming with forty men as re inforcements, and Captain Mahoney was on the way with a hundred more, but before either could reach the scene the trouble was over. - As the Spanish retreated the Amer icans moved slowly forward, firing as they went, and by the time the camp was reached the enemy had all got away, taking their wounded and prob ably many of their dead. Fifteen bodies were found scattered through the brush, but the Americans were unable to examine the spot where then firing had been most deadly. No time was lost in burning the build ings and filling the well with earth and stones. The Dolphin landed water amd am munition as an attack was expected, but none was made. Evidently the Spaniards were too thoroughly beaten to attempt further fighting. The ma rines did not reach the American camp until after nightfall and as they had been without food since the early morning, they were thoroughly ex hausted. Col. Huntington believes the de struction of the camp and well will se riously cripple the bushwhacking op- raauuus u i tue enemy . Tuesday Morning's Fight. Guanantamo Bay. Tuesday. June 14, noon, via Kingston. Ja.. Wednes day, June 15th, 8 A. M. There was no renewal of the attack on the ma rines lastj night. They slept in the trenches with their rifles bessde them, protected by a heavy picket line of in surgents and marines, under the com mand of Lieutenants Lenore and Smith. The pickets had strict orders not to fire unless commanded to do so. There were several alarms but no firing during the night. In conse quence, the men awoke much re freshed after four davs and nio-hts of continuous work and. nurhtiner. It was supposed the enemy had retired in the night to the windmill on the south coast, the only remaining source of water supply. The windmill was shelled at intervals all day yesterday by the Dolphin, but the Spaniards were still there this morning. An Unexpected Attack. At 8 o'clock the enemv made an un expected sharp attack on the Ameri can rear and left flank. When the pickets came in for relief the Spanish guerillas crept along behind them and got within a hundred yards, when the accidental discharge of a rifle in the trenches led them to believe they were discovered and they opened fire with a volley which whistled harmlessly overhead. They had shot too high, as usual. The marines then scrambled from their steaming coffee and hard tack back to the trenches and met the guerillas with a ragged but well di rected nne tire, .in addition, five held pieces, mounted at angles in the trenches, and the machine guns poured a nan or bullets into tne cnapparai, scattering the main body of the Span iards in all directions. Shells were dropped into their midst as they ran. A few of the enemy stood their ground desperately on the left flank, and the crack of the Manser rifles and the "pings" of their bullets were heard for. an hour. The" smokeless powder used by the Spaniards made their location in the dense under brush almost impossible to detect. The Panther fared six-pounders into the Spaniards, while the marines were engaged in beating off the attack. Only One Man Wounded. Only one man was wounded and he sustained a slight injury on his hand. The Cubans, who acted well last night, were with difficulty forced out to the skirmish line this morning. Some of them refused to be driven, even when struck by their officers with the flat of their machetes, but they were not censured. They try to work out their knowledge of the methods of the Spanish guerillas, and as cruides thev are invaluable. Our men are at a great disadvantage with the guerillas, who are past grand mas ters oi tins pecu nar pian oi utuupuigu of sa we rather than civilized war fare. The men slink through the tropical undergrowth as noiselessly as shadows, some with their naked bodies concealed with palm leaves, So that thev are neither seen nor heard. Our men are not familiar with these tactics, and awkwardly break through the bushes. Caotain Elliott says the!enemy could not stand a minute in the open, but he admits they are dangerous antagon ists at this sort of work. The marines are seasoning rapidly. The hospital ship Solace is in Guantanamo bay with the wounded on board. As the Dauntless left the bay the smoke of two Spanish gunboats in the inner harbor could be seen, ana tne Dolphin stood up the channel to meet the attack, if the Spaniards had the au dacity to make one. When ten miles off shore, the booming of guns could be heard and the naroor was veuea in smoke. SITUATION AT MANILA. Spanish Commander Says It is Critical. The Enemy Surround the Town.

MARINES HOLDING THEIR OWN Strongly Reinforced by Cubans Prom Qar- cia and Rabbis Commands No Call for More Troops Fernandina Selected as a Camp. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, June 15. Like the relief of the beleagured at Lucknow came the welcome news to the Navy Department this afternoon that the little band of American marines who had planted the flag on Crest Hill and were defending it night and day against heavy odds, were not only safe Dut were strongly reinforced by Cu bans from the commands of Garcia and Rabbi, and were now strong enough to more than hold their own. It was disclosed in a dispatch from Ad miral oampson ana brought much, re lief to naval officials. The most mV- nificant feature of the . Admiral's dis patch was the statement that the Cuban General Rabbi had occupied Aaui- dores, only eight miles from Santiago and practically a suburb of that Spanish stronghold. It was the execution of a plan arranged in Washington some weess ago, wnen two of the staff officers of General Garcia came here to confer with General Miles. At that time Garcia and Rabbi were at Bayamo, in the western part of San tiago province and more than 100 miles northwest of Santiago de Cuba. Admiral Sampson's dispatch showed that Rabbi and his force have made a complete circuit of Santiago de Cuba and coming up south of it have occu pied Aquadores. This is looked upon as - A Fine Military Stroke for Aquadores is a port, with iron wharves, and will affor df acuities for unloading the heavy artillery carried by General Sh after' s invading ex pedition. The news also indicated to the authorities here that the Spanish garrison at Santiago has prac tically retreated inside the city proper, giving up the outlying towns. In making his march, Rabbi has crossed the line qf communication between the Spanish commander, General Pando, at tlolguin, and the Spanish forces at San tiago de Cuba. This fact makes it clear that Santiago is not likely to get rein forcements from General Pando. In circling around Santiago to reach Aquadores, Rabbi, it is believed here, has also established it as a fact that the lines of communication and relief to Santiago are interrupted and practical ly cutoff in all directions. No Call for More troops. Secretary Alger this afternoon de nied positively that the government was considering the advisability of making another call for volunteer troops. On the contrary, the War Department is now entirely occupied with the task of completing the equip ment of the large number of organ izations still without accoutrement, and have not yet even taken up in earnest the procurement of the 75,000 men called for in the second procla mation of the President. Fernandina a Camp. The Secretary has just received the report of the special board, headed by Major Hopkins, that was charged with an inspection of various points that were ottered as good camping grounds for United States , troops. The board found that good facilities could be fur nished at Jacksonville, Fla., Fernan dina, Fla., and Savannah, Ga. Charles ton had many points to recommend it but sufficient grounds are lacxing. The board reported that the water at Fernandina could be piped all over the camp and Secretary Alger, with a view to having everything in readiness has ordered the piping to be laid at once, thus indicating the department's choice of sites. There is no intention to break up the camps unless disease should appear, necessitating the change. Secretary Alger's purpose in sending out the Hopkins board was to prepare a camp, not for immediate oc cupation, but for the instant reception of troons who might necessarily oe re moved from other camps wnere conta gious disease appears. Germany and the Philippines. - The constant reports that Germany is on the eve of making a serious issue in the Philippines are unaccountable to officials nere. who have the most direct and positive infor mation that Germany has never contemplated such a step, and is not now moving toward its execution, either alone or with other powers. There is the highest official authority for saying that each one of these reports is groundless, and they are all attributed to a malicious pur pose to embitter the feeling between Germany and the United States .

RALEIGH HAPPENINGS Over One Hundred Companies Have Volunteered Under the Second Call. THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. An Appropriation for the State Pair Re fused Death at the Soldiers' Home. Judge Whitaker to be a Major. The Brigadier Generalship. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, June 15. A private letter from Washington says that Senator Pritchard has writ ten Adjutant General Andrew D. Cowles, saying that he has resolved to have the President give him deserved promotion. General Cowles is now lieutenant colonel of the Second regiment, and the letter says Senator Pritchard's idea is to make Col. Cowles a brigadier general, since that position was refused by Gen. R. F. Hoke. It is further said that the only block in the way at present is the sickness of Col. Cowles, and as he is expected to ue uuii i wiuun six weexs ii is yen thought to be a probability. The ap pointment of Andrew D. Cowles to the lieutenant eolonelcy met with ap proval all over the State. Ihe appointment of either Col. Cowles or Col. Armfield to a brigadier generalship seems probable and public opinion seems to De arming mat way. Over one-hundred companies have volunteered under the second call. It is believed that within sixty days two or three more white regiments will be organized in this State. The work of recruiting the First regiment goes sipw ly tor ward. The Second is doing better, but the recruits are not coming in as rapidly as was at first expected. Special Star Telegram. The Board of Agriculture, by a vote of seven to five, refused an appropria tion to the State Fair. It will meet again July 21st, at Gov. Russell's re quest. Harris also asks an appropria tion for the Agricultural College. William Lindsay, of Currituck county, Company G, Fourth N. C. cavalry, a Confederate veteran, died at the Soldiers' Home to-day. Judge Whitaker is to be appointed major by the President. THE VESUVIUS IN ACTION. Great Dynamite Cruiser Tested Her Tubes on the Fortifications at Santiago With Gratifying Success. Copyrighted 1896 by the Associated Press. Off Santiago df, Cuba, Tuesday, June 14, 8 P. M., via Kingston, Ja maica, June 15, 8 P. M. The United States cruiser New Orleans, having been ordered by Rear Admiral Sampson to destroy the new emplacements half a mile east of n-i Monro, on which a large number of- Spaniards had been working, took up a position at 5 o'clock this morning about eight hundred yards from shore and 2,000 yards from the Morro battery. She opened upon the emplacement with her rapid fire guns. Red clouds of sand rose on the hill top where the emplacements were building. jrouowing tne ntteentn shot, the Morro batteries re plied with one shell that fell near the stern of the flagship New York. After twenty minutes gun practice Admiral Sampson signalled the New Orleans to cease firing. Then, as she retired, the Morro batteries sent ten shells after her, but without, dam age. Admiral Sampson hoisted the signal "Firing well done," the first compliment of the kind from the ad miral. Vesuvius at Work. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius joined the fleet yesterday and was put to wortc immediately, ensign maimer, of the New York, went on board the Vesuvius with Lieutenant Com mander Pillsbury. to explain the lo cation of the batteries, A few min utes from midnight the Vesuvius was about half a mile from the beach west of El Morro. The Oregon's search-light played on the battery, while the black nose of the cruiser pointed at the . westward batteries. Lieutenant Commander Pillsbury gave the word to fire and Lieutenant Quimby opened the air vent. There was a slight hissing, a sort of cough ing noise, but no flame, no report, no warning to the Spaniards who were hiding in the darkness. Thirty sec onds later a dull roar broke the silence of the tropical night Two hundred pounds of gun cotton had exploded on the hillside below the batterv. The ships on the blockade lines two miles away shook with the explosion. A firing of a thirteen-inch shell is mere rifle crak compared to the deep and mighty roar. (Jlouds of earth thrown uo from the hills seemed to stand put against the black sky. Another package of gun cotton was dropped on the other side of the bat tery and may possibly have struck the torpedo boats anchored below. Before the echoes of the second died away the Vesuvius sent a third charge hissing out. It fell right on the brow of the hill, where the battery seemed to lie. Into the air flew tons of earth and the smoke cov ered the land for half a mile. The Vesuvius retired at a sixteen-knot rata Two. flashes from the hills and two Spanish shells flew beyond the cruiser. The test was regarded as highly sat isfactory, and there is intense interest in the fleet over this first trial in war of a dynamite cruiser, IMPORTANT DECISION. Gives Railroads Right to Make Rates Re gacdless of the Inter-State Com. merce Act. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Atlanta, Ga., June 15. Judge William T. Newman, of the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Georgia, to-dayl rendered a decis ion to the effect that competition gives railroads the right to make rates re gardless of the long and short haul clause of the inter-State commerce act. The decision was given in the case of the Georgia Railway Commission, the Western & Atlantic, the Nash ville, Chattanooga & St Louis, and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Companies. This ruling, it is believed, will affect every railroad south of the Ohio river. Bncklen't AJnlca Salve. The Best Save in the world for Cuts. Bruises. Sores. Ulcers.

UU.Xia 4,002 945 Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to, take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house: the shiftless: fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides: one Eays out 25 cents, the other is out a undred dollars, and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he he xs getting poorer.
