A HOT FIGHT IN PROGRESS
City of Santiago Completely
Surrounded,
SHAFTER'S OFFICIAL REPORT.
Lawton Leading the Fight--Qarcla
and His Cubans Eager to Storm
the City.
By Wire to Thk Telbgbam.
Washington, July 1 The war de
partment has 'just received the follow
ing from Camp Sevilla:
An action is now going on but the
fighting is only light and desultory.
It was begun on the right near Caney
by General Lawton'a division. He
has been ordered to move upon the
northeastern part of the city. I will
keep you advised as to the progress of
the battle. (Signed) Shafter.
SANTIAGO SURROUNDED.
rSibony,Jly 1 By three o'clock
this afternoon the city of Santiago will
be completely surrounded by Ameri
can and Cuban soldiers under General
Shafter, commanding the American
forces. All of ttil army is now prac
tically in sight of the city and the
outposts on both sides are so close
that the picket firing is continually
going on but as yet no real fighting
has occurred. All of the light artil
lery has been conveyed to the front
but the heavy guns have not yet been
removed from the transports. The
road will probably be finished today.
When this has been accomplished the
heavy guns will be speedily brought
to the front and it is expected that the
first fight will take place at Aquadores
at which place the Spanish soldiers
are strongly entrenched,
' WAITING IN LEASH.
Off Juragua, via Port Antonio, July
1 More than 15,000 Americans, in
cluding all the volunteer troops ope
rating in Cuba, supported by more
than 4,000 Cubans under General Gar
cia, are lying within view of the Span
ish entrenchments to the northeast of
Santiago, ready to make a general as
sault on the city so soon, as a forward
movement is ordered.
General Lawton has been ordered
to take the lead. If the Spaniards
show signs of retreat Wheeler and
Kent will join Lawton and endeavor
to drive the Spaniards before them
into the city. Tte plan of battle is to
advance and push 5,000 troops under
General Lawton two miles nearer the
city capturing the village of Caney
and occupying the high ride beyond
which overlooks Santiago. From
this a terrific artillery fire can be
rained on the Spanish entrenchments.
It is believed that the Americans will
accomplish this movement tomorrow.
It is expected that the general attack
on the city will be postponed until the
arrival of the heavy siege guns.
GARCIA LEADING THE FIGHT.
Sevilla, June 30-Garcia's Cubans
made a dash westward thi9 after
noon and penetrated nearer to the
defences of Santiago than any hos
tiles force has yet been. Garcia
led his forces in person striking
Caney and passing in plain view of
the Spanish pickets. Tonight he
camps near to the Spanish outposts
ready to make a dash so soon as the
orders are given. The fact that the
Cubans have been rationed for only 24
hours argues an early advance on the
city. Garcia expects to have the hon
or of leading in a grand assault and
has exhorted his men to fight despe
rately. The Fire Practice.
The fire department this afternoon
at 5 o'clock will give an exhibition
of their skill as fire extinguishers.
The new hook and ladder truck will
be the principal part of the display.
They will put two streams of water on
top of Che NationalBank building and
one stream in one of the windows of
the building. From the new truck
they will raise a tower and will
throw a stream from the top of the 50
foot tower. Several prominent fire
men from Wilmington and other
towns and President McNeill, of the
State Freman's Association will wit
ness the practice.
Our baby has been continually
troubled wita colic and cholera, infan
tum since his birth, and all that we

that remedy he has not been troubled.
We want to give yon. this testimonial

NOTES FROM HIOH POINT.
The Local News from Our Neighbor
Briefly Told.
Telegram Bureau.
High Point. N. C, July 1, '9j
At a meeting of the directors of the
Commercial -'National Bank In the
bank building Wednesday night, a
semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent
was declared, $500 was added to the
surplus fund and the balance of the
earnings for the past six months was
carried to the undivided profit ac
count. This speaks well, for this insti
tution as well as for the substantial
financial condition .of our city. We
doubt if there is a town in the state
or south whose enterprises have con
tinued to prosper as has ours and
whose banks have not suffered more
or less bv the financial depression of
the country.
The grass on the city park is being
mowed down loday. This will add
very much to the appearance of the
plot which the city authorities ought
to keep more presentable. No one
would object to a small appropriation
of the city's finances for this purpose

The members of the Jr. O. U. A. M.
council here are living high today in
happy anticipation of the bountiful
feast the Randleman boys will set be

ganization of the city and their zeal
is in, evidence in public and private,
and while they glory in the proud
name of an American citizens they
also gather round the festive board
with equal zeal.
SALISBURY ON THE WAR.
He Says the United States Is Anima
ted by EUvated Philanthropy.
London, June 30 In the course of
a speech at the United Club in London
tonight Prime Minister Salisbury
said:
"We are now living in calmer times
except for the black cloud of war,
which I most earnestly desire may be
removed, between two great States,
respecting who we are bound to feel
and express the sentiment of neutral
ity. One of these is bound to us by
every tie of kindred and similarity of
institutions. The other fought on our
side against the tyranny of the first
Napoleon.
"While watching the war into which
they have been unhappily led we are
bound to abstain from expressing
preference or judgment. We know
that the United States is animated by
elevated philanthropy, and we know
that Spain is inspired by her love of
independence, which is the greatest
pride of all ancient nations. We
earnestly desire that the day will
speedily arrive when this terrible"
slaughter by two great nations may
cease, and the world restored to
peace to watch the restoration of one
nation and the continued progress of
the other. Apart from this great sor
row, which is not our sorrow, though
we feel for it, the world at present
looks smiling enough to us politi
cally." Lord Salisbury dilated upon the
agreement with France respecting the
Niger troubles and indulged in opti
mistic language concerning China.
He declared that he believed Great
Britian would be able to teach the
Chinese government that the - con
struction of railroads in China under
British auspices would most increase
her prosperity and best protect her
against future enemies.
The Cloven Hoof.
With the truly good champions of
conquest and colonization, who are
impressed with a solemn sense of the
Christian obligations of this country
to the poor savages of the Philippines
and of the awful weight of - our moral
responsibilities and duties to. the, rest
of mankind, there is no arguing. They
simply overwhelm us with their im
mense superiority. We feel as if
Chadband aud Stiggins were holding
a condemnatory conference over our
want of the moral stamina to make
good Christian patriots, imbued with
a requisite degree of e'nthusiasm for
our country's imperial greatness. We
experience relief only when our in
structors mingle commercial supre
macy, calculations of the value of the
sugar and tobacco plantations of the
Philippine Islands and other trading
gammon with their high moral plati
tudes. Philadelphia Record.

FRANCE AND GERMANY HOSTILE.
England Alone Friendly, According to
Chauncey Depew.
New York, June 30 Chauncey M.
Depew returned today on the big Ger
man steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse. He spoke freely of his obser
vations and experiences abroad. Re
garding the sentiment toward the
United States he said that in France
feeling was most bitter against this
county. Every paper in the city of
Paris, except three unimportant ones,
pnblish right along articles that have
not changed any In tone from the be
ginning, showing the greatest hostil
ity. It is believed there that the ob
ject of the United States in beginning
the war was the extension of her terri
tory, or imperial extension, and the
same opinion seems to prevail in. Ger
many. In England there is a complete re
verse of sentiment. Six weeks time
has changed the sentiment of 95 years
and all animosities are buried by the
tide of sympathy and universal ap
proval and feeling of - relationship,
which was binding against the world.
It is related of the dean of the chapel
royal that he was one day seated In
the synod hall at Dublin, when a scent
bottle dropped upon his head from the
strangers' gallery. Rising from his
chair he asked permission to make a
personal explanation. "My Lord
Primate," said he, "I am always glad
to see strangers at our debates, and I
feel specially honored by the presence
of ladies; but let not their precious
balms break my head!"
