TWENTY THOUSAND
sHAFTER's ARMY NOW EXCEEDS

coRBM IMPATIENT At DELAY
Associated Press Special wirs


WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Among the
best-informed army officials the opinion
Is general tonight that the crisis at San
tiago is at hand. 1t is deemed certain that
tomorrw will witness either a desperate
fight or an unconditional surrender on the
part of the Spanish forces.
The war officials are hoping for surren-
der Of the city, and they generally believe
that General Toral, the Spanish command
er. will yield at the last moment. rather
than subject his men to what inevitably
will be losing fight. He is evidently hest
tating as to what course he shall pursue,
and as Adjutant General Corbin, comment
ing upon the situation tonight, said: 1.-THE
soldier who hesitates Is doomed"
General Skaters command Is now in
excellent condition and spirits. Strong
reinforcements have arrived and are at
the front.
The original force under Skaters COM
mand numbered about 5000 men. Since
July the corps has been reinforced by
the following troops:
General Duffield's brigade, $500 men; re-
cruits for the regular army. $50 men; First
Illinois infantry, 942 men; First District
Of Columbia infantry, s53 men; six light
batteries United States artillery, 725 men
and General Garretson's brigade, consist
ing Of the Eighth Ohio, the Sixth Illinois
and the Sixth Massachusetts,. 1908 men.
Eliminating 5000 killed. wounded and sick,
General Shafter has now under his COM
mand an available force of q .S73 men.

official. The pope has telegraphed the queen
regent strongly advising her to solicit peace

Strangled to Death

SAN DIEGO, July BIT. ]. Walker, a
young Englshman "a years of age, hanged
himself near Pala. For the past three
years Walker has been member of the
company of Englishmen who own the Mont
serrat Ranch near Pala, in this county, and
part of his duties was to herd the cattle.
Yesterday morning he left the ranch as
usual, and when he failed to return at his
usual time alarm was felt for his safety.
A party was organized to hunt for the
missing man, and at almost dark they came
upon the lifeless form Of Walker hanging
from a sycamore tree. He had first tied
one end of his lariat around the horn Of
his saddle and the other had been thrown
over high limb of the tree. His horse had
evidently been brought into position and
mounting 1t. Walker tied the moose around
his own neck. AS he swung OF his horse
his feet barely touched the ground, but
there was sufficient strain on the lariat to
cause his death by strangulation.

BEATEN BY A RoBBER
A Hold-Up This Morning at Tenth
and Olive

A brutal attack was made upon saloon
keeper at the corner of Olive and Tenth
streets by a highwayman last night. The
saloon man was returning home when the
robber stepped up to him from the shadow
Of some trees and ordered him to throw up
his hands. emphasizing the command with
revolver. The saloon keeper showed fight
and the robber struck him over the head
with revolver, cutting the scalp badly In
several places. Before the robber could
overpower his intended victim people were
heard approaching and the robber ran away.
No arrests were made by the police and
there is no clue to the identity of the high
wayman. The matter was not reported to
the police, according to the clerks state
ment, but, strange to say, the officer on the
beat knew that the affair had taken place.

NEW YORK. July ia special to the

Kingston, Jamaica. July 10, says:
The warship's guns are the chief reliance
in reducing Santiago. They have better
range than the land artillery.
The Spanish fire Is not heavy and the
American troops are little exposed to 1t.
The report that the Spanish soldiers are
leaving the city Is exaggerated. The Arch
bishop renews his appeals to Madrid for
peaceful surrender. and the Foreign Con-
suls are also urgent in their expression Of
the necessity for such course.
