night the war department received
the following from General Skater,
dated at Sibony:

front of Santiago during the night.
| regret to say that our casualties
will be above 400. Ofthese not many
were killed."

WAR ITEMS.

Admiral Sampson cabled to Wash
iugton yesterday that every ship IN
Admiral Cervera's feet had been des-
troyed. Cervera made dash out OF
the harbor Sunday, but was pursued
and fired upon by the American fleet
until he ran his vessels ashore. They
were either blown up or almost des-
troyed by fire.
Cervera himself was captured, with
fully 1900 others. The Spanish lost
several hundred killed or wounded.
Yeoman Geo. H. Ellis, of the Brook
lyn, was the only American killed.
General Skater has allowed until
noon today for the removal OF the
the women and children from Santi-
ago after which he will shell the city.
He has demanded the surrender OF
the city and has met a refusal. Gen.
eral Shafter cables that he is master
of the situation.
General Pando, according to Off
cial advices in Washington, has ar
rived within six miles of Santiago.
An Associated Press dispatch from
the scene of battle states that he has
already entered the city with 5000
men as reinforcem entS.
Dispatches received yesterday show
that the American land batteries,
aided by SIMPSONS ships firing at
long range, began bombardment OF
the San Juan quarter Of Santiago
Saturday, but the movement does
not appear to have been carried to
success.
General Skater has been sick and
has been directing the movements OF
his army from a cot or hammock
The Navy Department posted late
tonight the appended translation OF a
cipher cablegram received from Com
modore Watson. 1t is similar i'll tenor
to that received from Admiral Samp-
son, but contains the additional
statements that $50 Spaniards were
killed or drowned, 100 wounded and
more than 1000 captured.

Does B ably

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put hfJccr
or twenty drops Of Scots
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

Responsible For The HOr-
rOrS of War.
From the Richmond Times.

We lament more than ever, that
every member of Congress who vot-
ed for the present war is not with
our troops in Cuba and Oh the picket
! line. If these precious "humamtar-
ianS" had known that they had to
undergo the dangers and the prlvat-
ions and the suferings which they so
cheerfully voted for others, their
enthusiasm for the flag and their de-
votion to the Cubans, would have
been considerably moderated. There
is not drop of blood of an American
soldier shed in this war which is not
on the hands of the men who brought
it about. There is not an eye glaz-
inc in death that should not be turn
ed reproachfully upon the reckless
demagogues who voted for war be-
cause they desired not to vindlcate
the honor of this country, but believed
it was necessary to keep their seats
in Congress.
And now comes a special horror.
One which neither side had endure
in the war between the States. Hun
ger was felt at Vicksburg and Port
Hudson and elsewhere, but never
hopeless thirst-the most agonizlng
of all suffering. Our generals have
felt called upon to cut the water
pipes which supply the town of
Santiago with that essential of life,
and helpless old men and women and
children along with the Spanish sol
diers are having that acute horror OF
war brought upon them, while Fora
ker and Thurston and GrosvenOr and
Proctor and Bailey and all the other
humanitarians are enjoying icy drinks
and sherbets, beneath electric fans,
in the marble halls of Washington.
The wretched reconcentradoes, whose
suferings were depicted in such
glazing colors by the ofice-seeking
rhetoricians, have been left to perish
when 1t was perfectly competent to
have made provisions to protect
them. As one of the stage settings
most effectively used by the pronot-
ers of this war, they must be more
than ever disregarded, if not hated
by the Spaniards, and their blood,
too, is upon the heads Of the selfish
politicians who thought that nothing
but war would get them back to
their places in Congress.
However much good to mankind,
under the providence of God, may
result from the heroism of the Ameri-
can soldiers in this war, there is one
class of people who deserve the ex-
ecrations of mankind, and they are
the members of the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the
United States, who as remorselessly
as a Joffries or an Alva, have voted
for war from selfshness which with
most ofthem was unrelieved by one
spark Of patriotism or humanity.
A more alarming instance of the
recklessness of our National Legisla-
ture and of the lack of balance in the
methods whereby the great forces of
this country are aroused and project
ed, was never developed. We may
well be alarmed when we consider
the facility with which this country
may be plunged into a proaigious
war, by selfish and ignorant polite
ians, but even more the awful cOnse-
! quences which may befall us if the
tremendous problems which this
country will inevitably meet, are
committed to the same incompetent
and reckless hands.

NAvY's VICTORY HELPS ARMY.

With the Army Near Santiago,
Called from Port Antonio Monday.
With the destruction of Admiral
Ceryera's fleet the work of taking
Santiago becomes much less difficult
As long as General Skaters had no
siege guns and could not be assisted
by friendly feet in the harbor the
capture of the city promised to be a
hard task, and 1t would have been
practically impossible to hold the city
if captured.
There is said to be no more doubt
that General Skaters next move
will be to push troops forward along
the railroad track to attack with the
fleet the outer batteries at the mcuth
of the harbor. As soon as these
defenses have been silenced and put
in the possession of our forces Adj
miral Sampson will be able to free the
harbor of mines and send his ships
into the inner harbor. That done the
Spaniards will be compelled to sur
render the city at once.
is now estimated that between
200 and |, 500 Americans are dead
wounded or missing after the fight,
about Santiago. l am told by one OF
the surgeons who assisted in thehos-
pital work that probably $50 to 300
Americans were killed.
No official list or official estimate
of the dead and wounded can be OBJ
tanned yet. Unofficial estimates place
our losses as high as 1000. The sur
geons have not enough supplies
bandages or nurses. The medical staff
is too small.

The only possible way to re-unlte
the democracy of Shenandoah is to
cast aside all crazy theories, stand on
real democratic doctrines and then
work for the success of the party, IN
stead of that of individuals who value
their personal political gains more
highly than that of the party.
-
The nation may well feel proud Of
its navy. In combat, it has demon
strated the fact that the Spanish navy
was a mere toy in its hands. We
have destroyed two Of SPANS fleets,
captured or destroyed number Of
her boats, taken thousands of prison
srs, caused the death of hundreds OF
her seaman and have lost less than
a score of men and no boats. Such
a record is without a parallel.
-
When the Charleston opened fire
upon the Spanish fort on the Ladrones
Island, the officer in command sent
a Lieut.. to the Charleston, thanking
them for the salute and apologized
for not returning it, as they had no
ammunition on hand. The Lieuten-
ant was surprised to learn that there
was war between the United
States and Spain and that he was a
prisoner.

The treacherous Spaniards who
blew up the Maine brought.upon their
country terrible retribution. While
the destruction of the Maine was not
considered the cause of the war, it
was of great assistance to the jingOes,
the yellow Journals and weak kneed
congressman who are responsible for
the war, with all its sufferIngs, its
horrors and its deaths.
The plea of humanitarianism will
serve their purpose, in exciting the
people, but after We we're plunged in
war, humanitarianism ceased to ex-
list.
The spectators have made their
blood money and great deall of it.

The army did excellent fighting
at Santiago, last Friday. Our loss
was heavy. From all reports which
we have seen, we would suppose
that it whl reach 1000. The msn
fought with the greatest gallantry
and all must regret that so many Of
our brave soldiers vera sacrificed.
While citizens away from the battle
field cannot correctly Judge o. the
actions of those engaged, it certain
lv appears that our army was not
so we'll prepared as they should have
been. The lack of sufficient artillery
caused the loss OF hundreds of brave
men. Had we been unable to fur
nish the artillery, there would have
been some excuse, but the United
States has an abundance OF this arm
of the service. Undue haste may
have been the cause. Certain it is
that we we're saved from a very
embarrassing positIos by the mis-
take of the spanards in moving
