Washington, June 27.--In far-off San
tiago. under tropical suns, the most
picturesque battle of the Spanish war
is probably being fought. By land and
sea the American forces are concen-
trating upon the garrison Of Santiago
and its helpless ally, the bottled" Ger
vera. No news of this engagement has
reached the department but scarcely a
doubt exists that the hills that guard
Santiago are resounding with the echo
ing roar Of siege guns and the sharp
cracking of musketry, while off the
mouth of the harbor of Santiago the
American fleet is pouring it's deadly
shells upon the crumbling fortresses.
Message from Sampson.
"I will commence the bombardment
of Santiago at daybreak." Such 10 the
message Admiral Sampson sent Secre-
tary Long. Corroborating news has
sifted into Washington that the land
forces Of Shafter. with the dauntless
Lawton leading the vanguard and the
cowboys and rough riders charging the
outposts, are pouring into Santiago.
This is the picture before the eyes OF
the war and navy officers as they wait
for news. They do not try to conceal
the belief that the great decisive bat
tie is now in progress. but claim to
have received no direct information.
The atmosphere is charged with activ-
ity and telegraph operators. messen-
gers and clerks fly through the Depart
ment corridors like projectles.

be effected is likely to be indicated by

plans for purchasing a number of milk
concerns have been talked over" said
Secretary Bowman of the Bowman Milk
company. How the movement will re-

trade of the city is the latest of num-
Der that have been made. E. J. Mon

to Joseph Letter. The former wheat
king has worked on it with great energy
for several weeks, visiting many dealers

AFIRE FROM STEM TO STERN
Dalecarlia Finds a Ship Deserted and
All on Fire.

New York, Dec. 5.-The German steamer
Dalecarlia, from Rio Janeiro, which ar
rived today. when in latitude 81. 49, longi-
tude 1852, came alongside of a ship ablaze
from the stern to the foremost. while a
yellow-funnelled German steamship was
wreck Nobody could be Seen on the
decks of the vessel, nor were there any
boats struggling amid the waves. 50 it is
probable that the crew were rescued by
the steamship, which was waiting to note
the end. After Steaming around the
wreck twice the Dalecarlia proceeded on
her way. The steamer by the burning
ship was either the Werra or the Fulda
of the North German Lloyd line. Both
vessels sailed in company from this port
last week bound for Havana.
