A Shirt-Washing Qeneral.
I have seen a private letter from
Gen. Gatacre to a friend in a high
place, in which the general describes
himself as perfectly happy In the
Soudan. He had only one shirt to
his back, which he washed for himself
from time to time; he lived on tinned
meat, and occupied a straw shelter
without furniture and with nothing
more than a blanket to cover him, but
he was in rude health and the best
spirits, and all his men were the same.

Schley's Consolation to Cervera.
Correspondence Qf the Associated
Press, Off Santiago de Cuba, Jnly 8
"If -we could have gotten by the
Brooklyn, and I believe we could,"
said Admiral Cervera to Commodore
Schley and Captain "Bob" Evans in
the cabin of the Iowa yesterday," we
could have gotten away. My orders
to concentrate fire on the Brooklyn
were carried out, but your ship has a
charmed life, sir," and the sad-faced
admiral, with tears in his eyes, added:
"My career is ended, I shall go back
to Spain to be killed or die in dis
grace." Commodore Schley put out his hand
and rested itonCervera'sshoulders.He
speaks perfect Spanish and the liquid
language flowed easily as he said:
"Admiral, you are a brave man, and
coming out as you did, in the face of
a superior force, is but
an exemplifi-
cation of that bravery,
can but do you honor.'

DOES IT MEAN SURRENDER?
Shatter Reports a Quiet Day
Around Santiago.
WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN.
The Last Qao In the American Lines
Riled By the Ohio and
Illinois Troops.
By Wire to Thx Tklbgkam.
At the Front, July 11, via Playa
del Este, 12 The city of Santiago is
today completely surrounded by the
Americans and Cubans, the last gap
having been filled by the Ohio and
Illinois troops thus shutting off the
last avenue of escape for the Spanish
army.
The American line now extends from
Ratero west to Harado Ladron. The
bombardment was resumed this morn
ing by the batteries and the fleet and
was continued until one o'clock in the
afternoon when General Sh after sent
a message to the Spanish commander
under a flag of truce, containing, it is
believed a request for. the surrender
of the army and the city, but no reply
has yet been received.
SHAFTER CABLES VERY QUIET.
Washington. July 12-Gen. Shafter
cables the following to the officials
here, which was probably written on
yeste-day:-
Headquarters Fifth Army Corps-
It has been very quiet here today and
but little fighting has been done. A
flacr of truce has been up since two
o'clock this afternoon. The Spaniards
are considering the proposition for
surrendering, now that I have the city
surrounded on the north. The lines
were completed oy .Liuaiow at nve
o'clock this afternoon down to the bay.
The line is rather thin but will be
strengthened in the morning by Henry,
who-has just arrived at headquarters.
There have been only a few casualties.
I expect to have two of the new bat
teries in position tomorrow. There is
a great deal of suffering among the
people who have gone out of Santia
go. 1 am doing all in my power to
relieve it but am not entirely success
ful. (Signed) Shafter.
DOES IT MEAN SURRENDER?
Washington, July 12 Gen. Shater's
message, received here this morning,
is taken by the officials of the war de
partment to mean that uen lorai is
going to surrender. Under the flag
of truce the city of Santiago has been
invested on all sides. This is taken to
mean that Gen. Toral, seeing that he
cannot escape wants to surrender.
becretary Alger expects to receive
news of the surrender today. He says
if this does not take place a grand as
sault will be arranged and will take
place immediately.
Force of Habit.
"I was once speaking at a temper
ance meeting in Green Bay," says ex-
Governor Peck, of Milwaukee, "and
in the course of my remarks I looked
about for some water.
"A mug had been placed beside me
and how it could have happened at a
temperance convention, I do not know,
but it was a beer mug filled with wa
ter. Well, it was a warm day, and
where there is convention food spread
on a warm day there are likely to be
flies. There were flies and one had
lighted on the surface of the water in
that mug. I saw him as I lifted it
and did the most natural and human
thing I could think of blew him off
the water. Well, they cheered for five
minutes and to this day I don't sup
pose you can persuade a Green Bay
man that anybody from Milwaukee
can drink a glass of water, 'even at a
temperance convention without first
blowing off the foam." Chicago

Just as a Starter.
The Philadelphia Record observes
that "the administration has deemed
It prudent to begin business in Hawaii
by sending an armored cruiser with
the flag and a regiment of infantry
jvith the cruiser. The e ar so many
people in Hawaii who have not been
consulted about the nuptials that it is
well enough to make a gunpowder
demonstration to begin with." Yes;
it will be a very handsome beginning

ter aifew of the children we have

Qerman Justice Reversed Himself.
When George F. Peck first became
an attorney for the Santa Fe he went
to a small town in western Kansas to
argue a case that had been brought
against the road for damages to sev
eral head of cattle that had been
killed. The case was tried before a
judge wh was decidedly German. The
witnesses were examined and the case
gone through with, and the attorney
for the prosecution arose and made a
strong plea for conviction. He waxed
eloquent and the judge paid close at
tention.
"Are you troo?" said the judge
when the lawyer stopped.
''Yes, your honor."
"You vins de case," said the judge.
"But I want a chance to argue my
side of the case," said Peck.
'No, he vins," stoutly asserted the
judge. But Peck commenced to talk
and gradually his talk led up to the
case, and before tne judge Knew it
Peck was arguing the defence. The
judge listened closely and when Peck
had finished, he said:
"You vin de case."
"But you have already decided in
my favor," said the other lawyer.
'Dat's all right. I reverse by virst
decision. Dis man vins," and the
judge stuck to his last decision and
Peck won his railroad case.

Threatens to Shoot.
By Cable to Thx Telegram.
St. Thomas, July 12 An attempt
has been made by the Danish govern
ment to prevent the Americans from
using eight thousand tons of coal
which is the property of the United
States. Governor Aderman, the ruler
of the islands, has notified Consul
van Horn, of the United States, that
the American coal in the harbor was
contraband of war and its use by the
Americans was contrary to the exist
ing neutrality laws. .
The governor further stated the ,use
of the coal will be prevented by the
Danish gunboat now lying in the har
bor to which Consul Vanhorn replied
that the Americans would remove the
coal by force. Governor Aderman
declared that he would call in war
ships from foreign powers to enforce
the neutrality laws. The matter has
been referred to the United States au
thorities in Washington.
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Madrid, July 12 An official des
patch from Ililo says that Aguinaldo
is patrolling the coast with a squad
ron of merchantmen. The despatch
adds that two bands of insurgents

the leaders have been captured and
shot. No further news has been re
ceived.

Madrid , July 12 The possibility of
peace is being widely discussed today
in political circles. The press will
later state that Spain is prepared for
peace provided it implies the loss of
the island of Cuba only. Correa
says he will no -longer oppose peace
negotiations providing the conditions
are not too onerous.
The Cat Assayed $18.31.
Butte, Mon., July 11 An amusing
mining story comes from the Mocking
bird mine in the Warm Springs dis
trict. L. J. Rowens, who owns and
works the mines, also owns a pet cat.
This cat climbs up and down the shaft,
through drifts, crosscuts, stopes and
levels, and lives down there most of
the time, being fed by the miners from
the contents of their dinner pails.
A brilliant idea struck Rowen the
other day. He took the cat into the
ore house and washed the hair as clean
to the skin as it could possibly be
washed. Then he panned the dirty wa
ter to the highest percentage and the
entireNcat assayed $18.31 on an assay-
er's scales. It is doubtful if any mine
in the Rocky mountains can assay bet
ter than $18.31 to cat.
A Case of Small -Pox.
Durham, N. C, July 11 Alex. Craig
came here Saturday night from Reids-
ville sick. News came yesterday that
he had been exposed to small-pox.
Investigation by Dr. Manning, health
officer, develops that he is afflicted

taken three miles in the country to the
county home, where a strict quaran
tine is established. Every precaution
has been taken to prevent its spread
and there is no danger.

SENOR SAO AST A RESIGNS.
He Advices the Appointment of a
New Cabinet.
London, July 12-The Madrid core
spondent of The Times, telegraphing
Monday, says: Senor Sagasta went to
the palace today and tendered his res
ignation and that of the cabinet. It
is said that he advised the Queen Re
gent to appoint a new cabinet, largely
consisting of the military element,
which would not necessarily mean the
adoption of a warlike policy, But
probably the reverse.
"It is generally expected that the
resignation vill be accepted and may
possibly be a partial reconstruction of
the cabinet. The 'ministers are now
in council, and Senor Sagasta has
doubtless communicated to them an
account of his audience with the Queen
Regent."
