HOW sPANIARDs LOOK Ar IT.
Would Rather Die Than Surrender to
 be Massacred.

lCopyrlght, 1898, The Associated Press.]
 Before Santiago, July 2, per the As- sociated Press dispatch boat Dauntless, via Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamai- ca, July 8-1 D. m.-One secret of the determination of the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to fight to the death was the belief which prevailed generally among them tbat prisoners taken by the Americans would be put to the sword. It is now known that after the fall of Fl Caney on July the Spanish soldiers who escaped along the foot hills marched directly into General Garcia's men, posted to the north of Santiago. They fought desperately, but were shown no mercy by the Gu bans and were macheted to the last man. General Doleyne, who was in command, was brutally mutilated. The knowledge of this massacre found It's way into Santiago and prompted the Spanish resolution to die rather than to surrender.
 The voluntary surrender of some or the wounded Spanish officers and men has dispelled the delusion and is help ing to induce General Toral to consider the proposition to capitulate. To pre- vent the possibility of the Cubans plum dering Santiago when it capitulates, 1t has been decided to forbid the Cuoans from entering the town. Owing to the danger of yellow fever none of the sol- diers will be allowed to go in Just what arrangements will be made le- mains for the future to disclose. Lieu tenant Brooke says that during the as- sault upon Santiago three million rounds of ammunition were used. Of course thousands of rounds were lost, and it can be safely assumed that 5000 shots were wasted to every one that fairly found the mark

 Henry Street Has Disappeared.

Henry Street Has Disappeared.
 The parents of Charles Perkins, an eleven-year-old boy of IS Henry street, are greatly alarmed over the boys dis appearance. He had a paper route and Thursday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock started down town to get his papers. He rode from his home to the corner of Clark and Orange streets with a MT. Beaumont and started from that point down town to the news paper offices. This was about 4:35 and was the last seen of the boy by any of his friends. His mother says that he has always been very quiet, obed tent boy and has never run away and she does not think that he has done so now. She says that he has no relatives in this vicinity whom he could have gone to see. The only money he had in his pocket was a few cents his mother had given him with which to buy papers. The boy has attended Winchester school. He wore when last seen cap with a Cuban flag pin on the front, a dark rough cloth Jacket, dark knee pants somewhat worn at the knee, tan shoes, and black stock ings. His mother stated last night that he had slight heart trouble, but that he was apparently feeling we'll when he left home Thursday afternoon. Any information as to his whereabouts will be thankfully received by the par ents, who live at AS Henry street. The police have been notified, but as yet have found no trace of the boy.

Prisoner Claims to be Brother of a
 Victim of the Maine.
 George T. Osgood of 131 Henry street was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Sergeant Dennehy and De- tective McGrath on the charge of hav- ing stolen $60 from his landlady, Mrs. Brown of 121 Henry street. Mrs. Brown missed the money Thursday and the same day Osgood complained to hen that $11 had been stolen from him. of the police. The two detectives sus- pected Osgood and yesterday afternoon went to the house for him. He is al fireman at the Winchester Repeating Arms factory and works nights. The detectives found him in bed and arr; rested him and took him to police head quarters. He was there piled with questions and finally confessed the theft. He offered to return the money and sent out to get 1t from. friend to whom he had given it to keep for him. The friend raised $50 of the amount, which was returned to Mrs. Brown. It is thought that Osgood claimed to have had $11 stolen so as to make 1t appear that someone else had been in the house and taken Mrs. Browns money.
 Osgood is about forty years old and says that he came to this city from 516 Tenth street Brooklyn. He claims to have had a brother Newton Osgood, who was on the Maine when that ship was blown up.

Secretary Long Says No Injustice Will
 be Done to Either.
 Washington, July S.-While no off, cial report has yet reached the depart ment by mail from Sampson of the en- gagement resulting in the destruction of Cervera's squadron, some amusing private letters from naval officers in Sampson's fleet are beginning to come to hand, which, written in all ignor- ance of the lively controversy that has sprung up at home as to the parts played by the different naval com manders in this celebrated battle, make it clear that the present discussion is being conducted under a very gross misapprehension of the facts. When tho secretary of the navy was asked to-day about Sampson and Schley, he said that the public might rest assured that no injustice would be done either of these gallant men. Meanwhile, he said, no official report has yet been re- ceived. The failure of congress to act on the naval advancement special acts may, after all, be beneficial as enab- ling the president to arrange with more deliberation and justice a scale of reward for meritorious officers

SPANISH MINISTERS
Said to bc Divided as to Negotiations for
 Peace.

Madrid, July S-8 p. m.--La Corre- spondencia de Espana says that there is a feeling of belief that the United States warships Oregon, Texas and New York are on their way to Spain, and that precautions are being taken at all these ports to avoid surprise. The ministers are divided in their opin- ions as to the advisability of immediate negotiations for peace. The war party is inclined to adopt the view of Marshal Martinez Campos, who considers that the army must first, by notable vic- tory, wipe out the defeat of the navy. The peace party urges direct negotla . tions with the United States rather than through powers, whose selfishness has allowed Spain to be crushed by a strong enemy and who may now in trigue for harder conditions, desiring to profit by her dismemberment.

VERY NOBLE WORK.
Meeting of New Haven Branch of Con- necticut Relief and Sanitary Society.


 necticut Relief and Sanitary Society. A meeting of the executive committee of the Connecticut Sanitary and Relief association was held yesterday after noon in the Colonial society building on Grove street. The attendance was large and there was considerable enthusiasm manifested over the success of the work thus far done as shown by the reports of the secretary and treasurer. It is the intention of those in charge to print each month small pamphlet giving in detail the amount of work accomplish ed during the month, and, in fact, a short history of the doings of the or- ganization.
 The treasurer, Mrs. Russell Hotch- kiss, reported that there was $494.89 in the treasury. This amount may seem large to many, but there is a pressing need for liberal contributions both of money, material or ready made goods. The demand for these articles is in- creasing every day and it is hoped that all will be as generous as possible. All money can be sent to Mrs. Hotchkiss at the Kensington. Donations of ma- terial, made-up garments or other arti- cles, such as are of service in hospital or camp, will be gratefully accepted at the Colonial society building on Grove street. The building is open for work every day from 10 a. m.

THE BOURGOGNE DISASTER
s. CUNARD & CO.,, HALIFAX AG,EYTS.
 ISSUE 4 STATEMENT.
Facts Given Which Explain Why No First Cabin Passengers Were Saved and Why More of the Others Were Not -Hoat No. Was Crushed and Nos. 8 and Were Damaged by the Collision Passengers Asleep.


 Halifax, N. S., July S-S. Cunard &. Co.,, Halifax agents of the steamship line to which La Bourgogne belonged, have issued the following statement relative to the disaster: With refer ence to the sad disaster to the French steamship La Bourgogne, the following facts will explain why no first cabin passengers were saved and more of theN others were not saved. The Cromarty- shire struck La Bourgogne on the star- board side, her bowsprit coming on board just forward of the bridge. crushing No. boat then dragging aft. damaged Nos. 8 and boats, breaking in the starboard boiler hold and engine room. The whole time from the colli- sion till she sank must have been less than forty minutes, as the pursers watch stopped at ten minutes to and the collision took place about ten min- utes past o'clock.
 esSo~AASoSAo asleep at the time. Before they could get on deck the ship had taken heavy list to starboard. Two boats were cap- sized in being got into the water with more or less passengers in them. The officers boat. No. z, on the starboard side, succeeded in pushing off when the funnel, falling crushed it. No. il boat on the starboard side, it is stated, was seized by some ten or twelve for eign sailors among the passengers who kept anyone else from getting in. This boat got off and afterwards refused to come and assist the fourth engineer pick up drowning people in the wa ter. Of the twenty-t three French sail- ors saved, most of them were picked up in the water, the balance probably went down with the ship when she sank, working at the boats on the port side. The men coming up from the engine room aft would have been in a position to avail themselves of two or three starboard boats aft or rafts which were got into the water, as would also the third class and sec- ond cabin passengers, whose accommo- dations were aft.
 Captain Deloncle we know was on the bridge of the vessel as she went down and no doubt, from the state- nent of the sailors saved, who were on watch at the time of the collision, the other officers and the rest of the sailors were endeavoring to get the port boats launched and went down with the steamer, which finally sunk stern first lying over on the starboard side, taking down most of the passengers and rest of the crew."

M1RER DEFEATS GODDARD.
Unscientific Contest Lasting Eight
 Rounds-Some Hard Punishment.

New York, July S.-Peter Maher fought Joe Goddard, the Barrier Champion" of Australia, to a standstill in eight rounds tonight at the Lenox Athletic club. Goddard administered a lot of hard punishment to his adversa- ry, but received a terrific pounding while he was doing so. Goddard was out a couple of times, but the bell sav- ed him and when he quit towards the end of the eighth he was scarcely able to stand on his feet. At the same time the fast work which he had gone through had told on Maher, who was unable to land blow heavy enough to finish the Australian. There was no science exhibited on either side. Maher left openings of which scientific man could have easily taken advantage and thus put the Irishman out in short or der.

ts Ss Ass F1fedt the SnOrs
 Before Santiago, July T, via Jamaica, July 8.--It was Sergeant Mckinney of Co. B. Ninth infantry, who shot and disabled General Linares the comman- der of the Spanish forces in Santiago. The Spanish general was hit about an hour after San Juan hill was taken, during the first days fighting. Our men saw a Spanish officer, evidently general officer, followed by his staff. riding frantically about the Spanish position, rallying his men. Sergeant Mckinney asked Lieutenant Wise's permission to try a shot at the officer, and greatly regretted to find the .e- quest was refused. Major Bole was consulted. He acquiesced, with the in junction that no one else should fire. Sergeant Mckinney sent for shell, slid in into a rifle adjusted the sights for 1000 yards and fired. The shell fell short Then he put in another, raised the sight for another thousand yards, took careful aim and let her go. The officer on the white horse threw up his arms and fell forward.

FA CT THAT CAHTAR RA,S FLEET IS R E.

 ofIts Navy to Destruction at Hands of Watson's Squadron Which in All Probability Could Head it or Before Makes 8 DeniaI-Despite Peace Talk Every Preparation is Making for Great Engagement at Santiago.
 Washington, July S.--There was a continuation of peace talk to-day, and other evidences in this line than those of yesterday are coming to the surface Such, for instance, was the confirma- tion by the state department of the re- port that the Cadiz fleet was returning to Spain. It is scarcely conceivable that the Spanish government would doom this remnant of its navy to de- struction at the hands of Watson's s squadron, which in all probability could head it off before it reached Cadiz, it's home port. Therefore, the assumption is that the Spanish government calcu- lates that at least an armistice as pre- cedent to peace will be obtained before the ships reach Spain. An unusually definite report was in circulation that the United States had been sounded in the interest of peace by the British ambassador, but Sir Julian Pauncefote authorized an explicit denial.
 Conditions at Santiago also are re- garded as favorable just now, according to General Shafter's dispatch received during the forenoon. Nothing more came from him during the day, but the impression prevails that the Spanish are in a desperate plight within the lines of the city, and General Shafters action in allowing 1inares to communi' cate freely with Madrid is an intima- tion that there is at least a reasonable hope that the Spanish general contem- plates surrender. However that may be, every preparation is making for a great engagement, the final one at San tiago, it is hoped, which may begin even as early as tomorrow if Shafters rein forcements are on hand.
 The department has not heard so far of the arrival of these endorsements. The greatest difficulty that has been encountered is in the landing of troops and supplies. This being the hurricane season and the wind setting straight on the southern coast, the masters of the transports have become, alarmed and taken their ships many miles out to sea, necessitating long journeys by the ships boats, which make their landings through the surf with the greatest diff1- culty and danger.
 So slow and tedious has been the ser vice under this condition that Secre- tary Alger has ordered General Shafter to seize the transports one and all and place them as near the coast as he chooses without regard to the fears of their masters. Ten days ago lighters were started down from Mobile and Tampa, but so far General Shafter has received only one. These lighters have been nightmare to the department ever since. The captains tie up in creeks at the slightest sign of bad weather, while the charter rate of $100 a day runs on. Orders have been sent forward to terminate this state of things, even if it is necessary to lose a few lighters in the effort to reach Shaf- fer.

ing splendid work in California
speaking for the Of silver. Re-
Gently in Stockton the editor Of the
Independent propounded that old
musty conundrum about the price Of
wheat, when Towne publicly asked
him the following questions:
1. Do you believe in the ''dollar of
greatest purchasing power"
2. Are you glad that in 1897 GER
tain American farmers got a higher
price for their wheat than for some
years past?
;. If you say Yes" to the last
question, explain why you are glad
that the dollar had less purchasing
power" as reckoned in wheat, than
before.
a.. If it was a good thing that the
farmer got a higher price for his
wheat, would it not have still better
if he could have got higher prices TO,
his hay, his cotton, his fruit, and all
his products?
S. If higher prices for the farme,
would be good, why not also for the
other producers?
s.. Explain to your readers how
the general level of prices can per
manently rise unless we increase the
amount of money in which they are
1eckoned.
These questions require no answe,
because the nswer are self evident

BRAZEN DAIRYM EN-

The dairymen of Marin and San
Mateo counties told the San Francisco
Board Of Health recently, through
their respective attorneys, that they
would lose heavily should they have
to destroy their consu1nptive cows,
and that therefore they intended to
coptinus selling t~uberculous and
deadly milk to their San Francisco
customers.
1t seems carrying things with a
pretty high hand, when men who are
numbering the people get as brazen
as that. The only answer they
should have is immediate arrest and
trial on the charge OF manslaughter.
These diaries have been fully exposed
by the papers and their names
printed in big type yer and over
again, yet the class of people who
never take a newspaper continue te
buy the diseased milk and die from
the use of it.
People who never read newspapers
are not much loss to the community
still this fact does not excuse tn,
wretches who sell diseased milk.
