MISS WINNIE DAVIS.
The St. Louis Republic Has This
Beautiful Tribute to Miss Davis.

Beside the grave of the leader of
the Lost Cause will soon be buried
the sbrouded clay of his youngest
and best beloved child
Winnie Dayis is dead. There will
be tears for her shed by eyes whose
sight is growing DINNER from the
glare of the years eyes that have
pierced the smoke of battle and
looked unhinchinglY upon the fash
of hostile guns and the glitter of
serried steel.
Old Confederates will feel genuine
sorrow because the gifted Daughter
of the Confederacy, as they joyed
in calling her, has been called away
ere her prime to join the great ma
iority, and their one-time adver-
saries will respect their grief and
condoue the sentiment that inspires
it.
Aside from her sentimental and
historic relationship to the saddest
and most regretable episode in the
country's history, Miss Davis, as
woman, daughter and friend, won
title to the esteem of an acquain-
tauceship which embraced two
continents, Nature lowered her
intellectual gifts compelled admira-
ton and secured broad and gener.
Gus reorganization.
Ushered into the world at time
when the war between the states
was nearing an end, she leaves it
when the last vestage of sectional
ism has been swept away by North
ern and Southern soldiers charging
beneath the Stars and Stripes
against foreign foe. Born the
Daughter of the Confederacy, she
died the daughter of a reunited
country.

after the Brooklyn and Oregon had
completed the capture of the CristObal

damaged, though she was struck sew
eral times by shots from the Brooklyn

During the chase a clever maneuver
of Commodore Schley's in heading due
west to Cape Caney, while the CristoDal
Colon had taken a more southerly di-
rection with a much greater distance to
cover, rendered the Spaniard's escape
impossible.
There seems to be no doubt that the

ATTACK ON SANTIAGO.
May Not Take Place During the
Present Week

WASHINGTON, July 5.-There will
be no bombardment of Santiago City to-
day, and possibly not during the week.
This is the opinion of members of the
Cabinet, as expressed on leaving the
White House after the Cabinet meet
ing. Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long have been in almost constant COM
munication with General Shafter and
Admiral Sampson on the subject and
the conclusion has been reached that it
would not be advisable to attempt to
carry the city of Santiago by storm
with our present force.
General Shafter in dispatch received
last night confirmed the report that
General Pando with about 6ooo Span
iards, had arrived in the city. and were
already distributed among the forti-
fications. This reinforcement makes
the Spanish forces defending the city
from 10000 to $4,000. The very great
advantage of being intrenched adds
materially to their strength, and in the
opinion Of military men makes their
effective fighting force from a third to
half greater than our own
General Shafter, in his dispatches
states that the excessive heat and rains
Of the last two weeks have contributed
nearly as much as the Spanish bullets
to the losses of our army. Under these
circumstances, it is his opinion that il
would be unwise TO attempt to carry
the city by assault. This view is shared
by officials here, and also, il is under.

At the Cabinet meeting the President

Maria Teresa, Almirante Oquendo and
Vizcaya continued to burn. and every
now and then deep roar, accompanied
by a burst of flame and smoke from
the sides of the ships, would announce
the eplosion of more ammunition o.
another magazine. AS the flames shot
higher and higher above the decks OF
the magnificent vessels that had COM
posed Admiral Cervera's fleet, many of
those who witnessed the scene felt it
had a strong connection with the de-
structdon of the American battleship
Maine in Havana harbor five months
ago.
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
the commander of the Gloucester. was
executive officer of the Maine at the
time of the disaster and although he
remained in Havana two months after
the explosion, he lived on board the
dispatch boat Fern, and steadfastly
refused to set his foot within the city
until. to use his own words, the time
had come when he could go ashore at
the head of a landing party of Ameri-
can bluejackets. To-day it was his
ship that sank two Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers, and afterwards re-
ceived the Spanish Admiral aboard as
a prisoner of war.
From his position on the bridge of the
Gloucester. Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright watched the flames and
smoke as they enveloped the decks OF
the three greatest warships of the Span
duced to nothing but shattered masts
and twisted smokestacks protruding
above the water, similar to that other
picture in Havana harbor. 1t was not
strange, therefore, that he remarked TO
his brother officers beside him, The
Maine is avenged" just then the Plu-
ton and the Furor sank. The Glouces-
ter's boat picked up as many of the
survivors as she could find on the shore.
The prisoners of war included the Cap
tains of both boats. One offered any
resistance, and were glad to go to the
Gloucester, as they feared an attack
from the CubanS
A number of the survivors, including
officers of the Furor, who, it was re-
ported, had their legs shot off, We're

officers and six men of the Pluton es-
capped from the shore in one Of their

remained until their Captain, who was

if possible, Havana, the port to be

but for the sighting of a large trans
port fleet off Siboney, and the assur-
ance that convoy of war vessels was
still with the transports. AS matter
of fact, there is no war vessel larger
than converted yacht, except the New
York, that could have obstructed Ad-
miral Cer!era'S escape eastward. Naval
men here are sure that the Spanish
vessels could have disabled or SUM
the New York and escaped had the
eastward course been chosen.
