points OH the line, and General
Chafee's brigade was the first to
cross the little San Juan River
close to the line of outer fortifica-
tions.
At e o'clock Caney had not been
entered by the American troops,
but they had pushed on past it and
it was theirs at any time they chose
to march into 1t. At that hour
General Shafter, whose headquar-
ters for the day had been three
miles to the rear, went forward to
assume personal command of the
operations. Some surprise ls ex-
pressed that he did not wait for
the siege guns before beginning
the final attack, as these gunsare
still on the beach at Baiqui. He
decided yesterday that they were
unnecessary, and determined to
strike at once.
The only movement Of the day
which did not meet with success
was General Duffield's attempt to
occupy the seavillage of Agura-
dores. The Gew York, Suwanee
and Gloucester shelled the old
fort and the rifle pits during the
forenoon, drove all the Spania rds
from the vicinity and bowled over
the parapet from which flew the
Spanish flag, but owing to the
broken railroad bridge. General
Dufield's troops were unable to
get across the river which separted
them from the little town, and
were compelled the 60 back to
to Jurague. It is probable that an
effort will be made tomorrow to
repair tho bridge and a complete
movement attempted.

SUMMARY OF SITUATION.
The Besieged City In Terrible
Condition = Fearful Havoc
Wrought by Anne tcan Forces.
Our Loss Fully 1,OOO-Span-
iards'' Double That.

Washington, July s. From the
heat and carnage of the battlefield
of Santiago, where for the last
three days the American forces
have pressed forward against an
intrenched army, General Shafter
to-day sent The following dispatch,
summarizing the situation:
Playa del Este, July 8.
Secretary of War, Washington:
Camp near Sevilla, Cuba, July 3.
We have the town well invested
on the north and east, but with a
very thin line. Upon approaching
it, we find it of such a character
and the defenses so strong it will
be impossible to carry it by storm
with my present force. Our losses
up to date will aggregate a thous-
and, but the list has not yet been
made. But lite sickness outside
of exhaustion from intense heat
and exertion of the battle of the
battle of the day before yesterday
and the almost constant fire which
is kept up on the trenches.
Wagon road to the rear is kept up
with some difficulty on account of
rains, but I will be able to use it
for the present. General Wheeler
is seriously i'll and will probably
have to go to the rear today.
General Young also very ill
confined to his bed. General
Hawkins slightly wounded in the
foot, during sortie made by enemy
last night, which was handsomely
repulsed. The behavior of the
troops was magnificent. General
Garcia reported ne holds the
railroad from Santiago to San
Luis and has burned bridge and
removed some rails; also, that
General Pando has arrived at
Palma, and that the French consul
with about four hundred Freuch
citizens, came into his line
yesterday from Santiago. Have
directed him to treat them with
every courtesy possible.
SHAFTER,
Major General.

Sure Egg Test.

A way to tell bad eggs is to put
them in pail of water, and if
good, they lie on their side; if bad
they will stand on their small
ends, the large ends always upper
most, unless they have been sba-
ken considerably, when they will
stand either end up. Therefore, a
bad egg can be told by tie way it
rests in water, always end up,
never on its side. An egg that
lies fiat is good to eat and can be
depended upon.-southern Guilt

The most curious charity in New
York, and one which savors of medi-
aeval times, is, perhaps, the one known
as the "Leake Dole of Bread" For
over one hundred years a weekly dis
tribution of bread has taken place at
st. Johns chapel, Varick street, one
Of the Trinity parish churches.
John Leake, who was one of the
founders of the Leake and Watts Home
for Children, left $4,000, the interest
to be spent in purchasing bread for
poor women. This buys about four
thousand loaves of bread week.
