Wednesday and Has hot
Since Been Seen.

About . O'Clock Wednesday afternoon
Mrs Frank Wakefield Of ROcklln, VINO
was visiting her mother, Mrs NJ T..
Fam, at 1870 j street, left the house.
saying she intended visiting Hale Bros.
store at the corner Of Ninth and r
streets. She had not been feeling We'll
during the day, and thought the 1resh
air would do her good. mad nothing
was thought of the matter until she
failed TO return in the evening.
And up to the present time nothing
has been heard Of Mrs Wakefield. The
police were notified of her disappear
ance on Thursday, and the same day
telegram ives sent TO her husband at
Rocklin. Search was made for her
both by her relatives and by the po-
lice. but not a trace Of her has been
found. Mr.. Wakefield arrived in the
city on Friday. but up to that time had
not felt uneasy, believing that his wife
had gone to spend the night with some
acquaintance.
Mrs. Fam, the mother of the missing
woman, and Mr. Wakefield were seen
at the residence of the former by a
Record Union" reporter last night.
Both were nearly Frustrated with anX-
Wakefield would yet be found.
They stated that she had been in poor
health for some time, and at the time
of her disappearance was suffering
from malaria. She complained CT vio-
lent headaches when the fever was on.
and was nearly crazed by them. The
fever was on when she left the house.
Mrs Wakefield left her little G-year-
old boy with her mother when she went
out She was Gevotediy attached to
the little fellow and her husband is
sure she would not have willfully left
him.
1t was ascertained by Mrs. Fam that
Mrs Wakefield did not visit Hale
Bros store after leaving the house,
and from the time she walked out on
Twelgth street she seems to have liter
ally dropped out of sight. Her rela-
tives have ascertained that he has not
been received at any of the hospitals
i'm or near the city, and that she did
not go TO friends who lived near
Brighton. as they at first thought she
had done, and they are now inpatient
" awaiting developments. They cling
to the belief that she was taken i'll and
was either taken into some private res
idence or had wandered out of the city,
bat viii not allow themselves to i'm
agine the possibility of her having COM
mitted suicide.
Mrs. Wakefield is but - years cd,
has brown hair and eyes. is five feet
four inches tail, and when she left her
mothers home she was dressed in a
mixed green and black dress. trimmed
in green She had some money in her
purse. and besides several rings car

GOMEZ TO MOVE ON HAVANA.
Insurgent Leader VIII Receive 1000
NIauser Rifles Surrendered by TOral
will Lay Siege to tho City.

Washington, July %. 1t was said
yesterday afternoon that the 1000
Mauser rifles surrendered by Gen.
Tora's soldiers will be turned over to
Gen. Gomez, who will proceed with
his army toward Havana and lay siege
to the city. Since Gen. Blanco has
been cut off from Madrid and can no
longer receive remittances from his
home government, he will endeavor
to extend his Notifications some miles
from Havana, with the view of having
land enough on which to raise supplies
for his troops, and it is said to be Gen.
Gomez's intention to checkmate him.
An officer of the war department said
it had been decided to besiege Havana.
Taking the city in this way will pro-
tect to large extent the interests of
many Americans who own property
there.

the InSurgent Troops to the Hills

Santiago, July 81, via Playa del Este,
July 22. Gen. Shafter is in receipt Of
n letter from Gen. Garcia, in which he
declares that he is Disguised with his
treatment at the hands of the Ameri-
cans and will consequently withdraw
his own forces to the hills, being no
longer willing to submit to the indig-
mites to which he had been subjected.
Among the things of which Gen. Gar
ella complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
fly him of the surrender of the Span
ish forces under Toral. He is also
incensed at the fact that he was
not invited to be present at the cer-
emory attending the formal capitula.
ton. Another of Garcia's grievances
is the action of Gen. Shafter in retain
ing the Spanish civil authorities in the
administration of their functions in
Santiago. For these reasons, Garcia
declares, he will no longer cooperate
with the forces under Gen. Skaters
command, but will act Independent thy,
as he did before the American troops
landed in Cuba.

character. Advices indicate that the
insurgents are now displaying "only a
lukewarm hostility toward the Span
ish troops" Capt. Gen. Augusti sends
an official dispatch asserting, under
date of July IA, that, while the block
ade is becoming very strict, the enemy
lost heavily in several recent engage
ments, "by which the morale of the
American forces has been weakened
and the Spaniards have been greatly
encouraged" The dispatch alleges
also that "the garrison is ready to
fight to the death"

AN ISLAND TO BE TAKEN.
Instead OF Taking One City Gen. Miles Han
to Secure Entire Control OF
POrtO Rico.

New York, July ala dispO.ch to
the New York Tribune from Washing.
ton says: While the details of Gen.
Miles plan of operations in Porto
Rico are not divulged, it is known
that they are wholly unlike those me-
cessitated by the peculiar conditions
at Santiago. Instead of having a
single city as an objective point, Gen.
Miles has to secure control of an en-
tire island and occupy q number of
cities, establishing system of thor.
ough and effective government in
all its districts. The chief city of
San Juan can be taken only by the
navy in cooperation with alarge force
ashore, as it is practically impregnable
on its land side except by tedious siege
with heavy artillery. The island is in
round numbers, 100 miles long and 40
