WON ON A BLUFF.
Through Gen. Miles Shrewdness Santiago
 Fell,

It is but just beginning to be understood | that the surrender of Santiago was the result of a big bluff successfully worked | on the Spaniards by the American army, | says Washington special in Saturdays S Louisville Commercial. It appears now that on or about July dispatches were re- | ceived at the war department from Gen eral Shafter which declared that he had not nearly enough troops to capture the city, and that his line had become so thin in many places as to necessitate retreat for four or five miles.
 These dispatches were more serious in
 their character than the public has yet
 been permitted to know, and they created positive consternation at the White House The Fourth of July was approaching, and it was feared that a backward movement at that time, however wise it might be-
 would have bad effect upon the country. In addition to that, it seemed evident from Shafter's reports that if the Spaniards un- derstood the situation they could break | through the line at several points and get | into the rear of the American army. In | this emergency General Miles was sum moned hurredy to the White House and asked for his opinion as to the best meth cd of concentrating Sharters army with | out resulting in too much of a backward movement.
 After considering the situation carefully, | he astonished the president and secretary | of war by advising that there be no con | centration or retreat until after first | class Yankee bluff had been tried and | failed. He suggested that Shafter should | at once demand the surrender of the city, | and thus occupy the attention of the Span | iards, utilizing the time to hurry forward 1 the achievements. General Miles be- 1 lieved that, after being summoned to sur | render, the Spaniards would at least take 1 time for consideration and not attempt a sortie, because they would be deceived, by | the boldness of the demand, into the be-
 lief that Shafter was ready to attack the | city at once
 | General Miles advice was followed, and | Shafter was surprised to receive, instead of permission to retreat, orders to knock l on the gates of Santiago and demand its l unconditional surrender. Fortunately, the bluff was turned into a complete success | by the blundering of Captain General Blan- | co, who ordered Cervera to leave the har- | bor. When the ships were destroyed that | memorable Sunday Shafter was relieved | of the danger of their bombardment, and | the demand for a surrender made origin | condition of affairs, and Toral was obliged | to capitulate. If Cervera had remained in the harbor, It is probable that Toral would have declined to surrender and Shafter would have either had to withdraw from his position or hold it at great danger un- til he was ready to attack.

GOV. JOHNSTON AT OZARK
From the Ozark Star

From Inc OZark Star
 Governor Johnston spoke to a large crowd in n~the court house here last Friday. His speech was able, clear ahd logical. He dealt mainly with the financial condi- tion of the state and defended his able ad- ministration to the utter and entire satis- faction of every one who heard him. The people of Dale county, almost regardless s of party, indorse his splendid admins tration and will on next Monday cast their votes for him. His speech did the party considerable good in the county and all are proud that he came.
 The governor gives a most glowing. &C., count of the condition of the party throughout the state, and thinks that 75,- 900 majority is a low estimate.

It is known that there are no fewer than ten Spanish war vessels in the Havana harbor. There is one cruiser there of the Raleigh class, s,.sposed to be an efficient vessel; therA>are three cruisers of the sec ond-class about like the Annapolis; four torpedo gunboats and two small gunboats
 At times the blockadng fleet before Ha- vana is not very strong-a fact readily known from the walls of Moro castle by means of strong glass; and 1t is indeed strange that fleet of ten warships does not at times, especially at night, make a "sortie" and do considerable damage.

 Lieutenant Hobson appears to be as energetic in the work of raising cruisers as he was in the task of sinking colliers.
