| the day has brought forth at Santi-
ago.
Notice from General Shafter to the
effect that he proposed 10 begin the
assault and bombardment of Santiago
today intensified the interest with
which the news from the front is be-
ing awaited at the war department and
there were many inquiries at the office
of the adjutant general, beginning in
the early morning, for the latest dis
patches. To all of these but one an
SWer was returned:
General Shafter has been given a
free hand to deal with the situation,
subject to but one condition, namely,
that the Spaniards in Santiago must
be captured"
The belief here is that the affair of
yesterday was of little Importance, be-
ing, perhaps, but a feint on the part
of the SpaniardS to uncover the Amer
lean batteries or to discover some weak
spot which might be made the point
of attack in a sortie when it comes to
that
The officials here do not conceal their
apprehension that the enemy may es-
cape from Santiago under cover of
darkness and are consequently relieved
today when the dispatches from the
front show that they still occupy the
town. The president himself was SO
much concerned over the possible eS-
cape of the Spanish force that he di-
rected the sending of explicit orders to
General Shafter to prevent it at all
hazards.
SHAFTER'S PLANS.
The war department today made
public three dispatches from General
Shafter received today. The following
was received at 1920 a. M:
THE navy has-promised after the
bombardment begins to get in close
to the harbor with some of their light
draught boats. If the bombardment to-
morrow (today) is not quickly conclu-
siye they viii make the attempt. AS
soon as Henry'S reinforcements arrive
we will surround the town and can
knock it to pieces with our light guns.
Captain Goodrich of the st. Louis as
sisted me very ably in. disembarking
troops"
Twenty-three minutes later the fol-
lowing was received:
My plans for tomorrow are to keep
up the bombardment of the trenches
and city, and complete the investment
on the northwest by the troops which
have just arrived from Siboney, one
regiment of which, the First Illinois,
has now reached me-"
Soon after noon the following was re-
ceived:
I regret to report that Captain
RowelI, Second infantry, was killed late
yesterday afternoon

SPLIT IN SPANISH CABINET.
Queen Regent Will Probably Form
a New Government

Queen Regent Will Probably FORM
a New Government.
Madrid, Sunday, July 10 (via Hen
daye. France, July uD.-In spite Of the
fact that public opinion is divided, 1T
is inclining rapidly in favor OF peace,
the people becoming more convinced
every day of the impossibility of with
standing the power of the United
States. The peace party in the cab
met is urging immediate negotiations
looking to peace, and Senior Gamazo,
the minister of public instruction,
threatens to resign if the war party
outweighs his influence. The war
party, however, urges a continuance
of the struggle, Ito convince America
that it is difficult to obtain prompt
triumph for her army, and thus secure
for Spain better terms"
There is a split in the cabinet which
will probably result in its resignation
and the formation of an intermediary
government, because Senior Silvela and
the Conservatives are unwilling to in
cur the responsibility of the peace ne
gotiations, for the best Obtainable
terms are certain to be trying to Span
ish PRIDE which will demand scape-
goat.
The increasing unpopularity of Senior
Sagasta's government, which is sup
ported by the throne, regardless of pub
lie opinion, may change the dynasty
The situation is most trying to the
queen regent, who is suffering more
keenly than her subjects, swayed as
she is by outside counsels and by the
divided opinions of the cabinet and ma
ton. Her majesty must soon decide
upon some course of action and will
probably form a government with
strong military element and including
the most popular politicians. She be-
gan consulting on this subject today
and had a long conference with Senior

ter's available force today. after count
ing all reinforcements and deducting
the dead, sick and wounded, is 22,S50
fighting men, according to military es-
Inmates. This is based on an estimate
of $4,000 men in General Skaters orig
inal expedition, and about 10000 in var
iOus expeditions which have gone since
then, making in all $4,000. Against this,
however, must be deducted the casual
ties in the fighting thus far and also
the men confined TO the hospital by
sickness. The deduction is roughly es-
timated at 5000, leaving about $4,000
available today as the fighting force of
the American army.
The reinforcements having gone for
ward from time TO time, it has been
rather difficult to keep track of them,

The arrival of General Miles and the
