By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor. , Washington, July 14. But two dispatches have been received since midnight from the front up to 11 o'clock today and both of these re ferrde to commissary stores and details of the department. The of ficials, however, expect to receive word soon whether General Toral decides to fight or to accept our terms of surrender. The general opinion is that he will tight in or der to save his fighting reputation Spain, .but all hope for a surrender. Our lines have thoroughly Invested Santlgao and further resistance on the part of the Spanish army is a forlorn hope. The officials say that they can take the city in two hours by assault. Admiral "Sampson's ships alone can throw over two hundred shells into the. city in a couple of hours. It Is believed here that when ' Santiago, falls Spain must sue for peace. Secretary of War Alger said this morning that he expects .no news from Santiago until this afternoon when we shall hear that General Toral either sur renders or that the. land and sea forces promptly begun an assault upon the expiration of the truce at noon. No other course Is left open to the American commanders. READY TO ATTACK. By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor. FRONT, VIA PLATA DEL ESTE, July 14.

RALEIGH, N. Cn UBSOAY REDUCED IN ONE CASE Atlantic Coast Line Passen ger Rate Cut. S. R. CASE DISMISSED. 9. A. L. Case Held Open for Future Consideration- Will be Decided July 29th Action Against Express and Telegraph Compacted. The Railroad Commissioners ad journed at a late hour last night and Chairman Caldwell and Commissioner Pearson left for their homes on the early morning train for the west. Not until a late hour todav did the decision of the Commission on the pas senger rate question became known and no little surprise was expressed at the action of the Board. In the case against the Southern Rallwav the Commission refused to grant the appeal of the 'Governor and dismissed the case from the docket, thus bringing the matter so far as it relates to the North Carolina Railroad to an abrupt ending. The Commission after considering the cbmplaint of the Governor against the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad de cided to hold that case open for con sideration until the CommiSiSion's next session, which is set for Friday, July 29th. . The Atlantic Coast Line case was. the last considered and here the Commis sio broke the lines granting the pe tition of the Governor by deciding to reduce passenger rates to 2 and 2 cents per mile on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. The decisions made occasion for much comment and railroad then as well as outsiders expressed surprise at the Commission's action. In the matter of tax valuation of roads the Commission made many changes in valuation of property, tax ation on all being increased $5,000,000. The Commission vesterday took ac tion on complaints against the South ern' Express Company and Western Union Telegraph Company for exact acting and collecting from shippers and senders of message a higher rate than that fixed or apocoved by the Commission by forcing the payment by shippers and senders for revenue tax stamps. The express company and tel egraph company are cited to appear July 29th and show cause, if any why the penalties for overcharges should not be enforced and also ordered to furnish to the Commission sworn state ments of the number of messages or shipments upon which such over charges have been made between July 1st and July 29th. The penalty as to the telegraph company is not less than $50. GERMANY'S STATEMENT. By Cable to The Times-Visitor. BERLIN, July 14.

A., had a pleasant surprise in store for the regimental officers at Camp Dan Russell yesterday and this morning from the Colonel down to the lowest non-commissioned officer they are healthier, wealthier and wiser. At the last pay day Major Muhlen burg had not been given orders to pay the officers from any day previous to the date of muster into the U. S. army, in fact, his orders definitely stated that the officers were to be paid only for such time. Yesterdav General Cowles sent a lengthy telegram to Paymaster General Stanton giving the status of the case of the officers of the Second Regiment.

He is a delightful fel low, a genuine army man, with all the good qualities. THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. Doesn't Withhold Its Position from the Clark-Kilgo Controversy. The North Carolina Christian Advo cate reached here today and under the heading of "Our Position" prints the following editorial: "That a general discussion of the controversy in which Judge Clark, Dr. Kilgo and Hon. J. H. Southgate have latelv- figured is out of place in the columns of the North Carolina Chris tian Advocate, must pe eviaeni iu every mind that understands the func tions and purposes of a religious news paper. We are fully aware that the fact is not so evident to some minds equally aa honest and intelligent as those minds which see with different eyes. "We stated in last week's Issue of the Advocate that we' had not then seen the necessity of discussing edito rially the merits of the question. Yet we have not advocated for one mo ment the policy of withholding from our Methodist constituency the facts, and from the very first we have had no other Idea than that of presenting at the proper time a history of the case, and taking such editorial action I ... . ....... i i ,tii on tnis ana couaierai qucDuuuo be necessary to vindicate the right The duty of a church paper to defend the church, every institution of the church, every worthy minister of the church and every worthy layman of the church must ever take precedence of policy. "To those secular papers that have given both sides of the question with an unprejudiced spirit we convey the thanks of every fair mind. "To those secular papers which have made the controversy an occasion for venting their spleen against Dr. Kilgo, the Board of Trustees and our ministry and laity, we will say that MethodiBm has waded through over a century of such experience to her present ground of vantage, and that every storm of malignant prejudice that .howl around our Institution and men only plants them more firmly on the rock of suc cess and makes them nearer and dear er to the great Methodist, heart. We can not afford to notice closely the tur bid flow of abuse. We look to God and the fen rations. -They kvlll vindicate the right" $3.00 PER YEAR PAY.I-flTHEff GIBBON'S Says the Minister's At tack on Catholic Con vents Was Vile and Untrue. The Catholics of Atlanta, says the Journal are very much Incensed at Dr. Broughton's attack on convents. Lay men express themselves freely and with great emphasis, but the clergy are more reserved. Father Gibbons of the Church of the Sacred Heart, when seen this morning at the parsonage, was at first not disposed to discuss Dr. Broughton's attack in the public prints, and seemed to think it unwor thy of notice. He deprecated contro versies of that kind. On further con sideration, however, he said: "The attack is unworthy of Christian gentleman. Dr. Broughton has slan dered Atlanta's purest, best and most charitable women. His attack on Catholic convents is as vile and un truthful as his arraignment of pure women. Several attempts were made to see Father Bazin and Father Schadewell, but Dr. Bazin was out of the city and Father Schadewell was engaged and not accessible. LOCAL BRIEFS.
