ELEPHANT ON OUR HANDS.
Authorities Don't Know What to Do With
Prisoners Taken.

Washington, July 5.-The question of
what disposition to make of the Spanish
prisoners taken by the United States
forces Is causing the war department
some perplexity. The matter was under
discussion today. but Secretary Alger
said no conclusion has been reached as
to the steps to be taken. 1t is realized
that the naval prisoners cannot be kept
long aboard ship. They must be gotten
off before any active operations are tax
en- by SIMPSONS fleet against the shore
batteries.
1t has been suggested that the prisoners
be loaded on the transports available and
that the vessels be anchored we'll ont in
the water, pending their final disposition
One suggestion which the army officials
have under consideration, is the esta blish-
ment somewhere near the headQ uarters
OF Skaters army of a large camp where
both the army and navy prisoners may
be located.
A suggestion that it might be i'm good
taste to bring Admiral Cervera and his
staff to Washington, where they could be
placed on parole meets with some favor in
army circles, though it is very question
able whether such action will be taken.
The suggestion that the Spanish prison.
ers be brought to tho United States is
sure to meet with objection from those
who are fearful that this would increase
the danger of the importation of yellow
fever

Enemies of the SQUASH.

The striped yellow beetles come first,
and the farmer must be on the lookout
for them, since often during an hour or
two of a bright sunny day these pests
will ruin every plant in a hill. Land
plaster, with the addition Of a little kero-
sene oil, is the remedy for these insects.
Add couple of tablespoonfuls of kero-
sene to a two quart measure of the
plaster, thoroughly mixing. Next comes
the black Or brown bug which smells
SO extensively. Place some bits of wood,
as shingles, around each hill, and these
bugs will collect beneath them to pass
the night and may therefore be caught
and killed each morning. The third
great enemy the squash has is the cut
worm This is an insect difficult to find
until the mischief has been done. The
best preventive measure is the use Of
wood ashes and lime in the squash hills
and about the vines. 1t is we'll to change
the land upon which squashes are
grown about every year to in some
measure escape the many insect pests,
says The New England Homestead.

shafter Must Have Reinforcements to
Take City.

Washington, July 5.-Secretary a lger
and Secretary Long have been in almost
constant communication with General
Shafter and Admiral Sampson upon the
situation 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 forces
General Shafter in dispatch received
last night confirmed the report that
General Pando with about 5000 Spaniards
had arrived in the city and were already
distributed among the Notifications.
This reinforce ment make the Spanish
forces defending the city from 900 to
1S, 600.
General Shafter in his despatch states
that the excessive heat and rains of the
last two weeks have contributed nearly as
much as the Spanish bullets to the in.
effectiveness of our army.
At the cabinet meeting the President
directed that kilograms be sent to General
Shafter and Admiral Sampson, suggest
ing that they confer as to the situation
and particularly as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
the admiral's attempt to force passage
into Santiago by land SO to be in posi-
ton to render effective aid in the assault
upon the city.
1t is known to be General Skaters de.
sire to have the fleet enter the harbor.
Orders were also given looking to the
immediate dispatch of troop ships from
Tampa with reinforcements for Shafter
and others now off Santiago will be
brought here at the earliest possible
moment to aid in the transportation of
reinforcenents.
1t is reporter that at least 1900 will
be sent forward as rapidly as trausporta-
ton can be provided
Admiral Sampson was not present when
the engagement began, but Watsons de-
spatch of last night indicated that he had
reached Santiago after the fight.
In the absence of both Sampson and
Watson the direction Of the fight would
have fallen to Commodore Sohley and be-
ing in the heat Of the engagement on the
Flagship Brooklyn. it seems probable that
he gave the signals by which the Ameri-
can ships manoeuvred and selected their
various points of attack.

SURRENDER DEMANDED.
Gen. Skaters Note to Spanish
General Linares.

Copyright 1898 by the Associated Press.)
In advance of the American lines, one
mile south of Santiago de Cuba, July 4,
via Fort Antonio, ia, July 5, per Asso-
ciated Press boat Cynthia, via Kingston,
July 5.-At noon yesterday, acting under
instructions from Washington, Major
General Shafter, the commander OF the
American troops, sent a letter to Gen.
Linares, in command of the Spanish
forces defending Santiago, demanding
the surrender of the city.
The message was delivered by Col.
Dorst. Three hours elapsed before the
firing could be stopped. General
Linares responded promptly with an
absolute refusal to surrender
General Shafter at noon today repeated
his demand for the surrender of the
city, and notified General Linares that
unless Santiago was surrendered hostili-
ties would be resumed at noon on Tues
day. Up to this evening General Linares
has not replied to the second request
Conferences with the consuls of the
foreign powers have been conducted
near General Wheelers headquarters.
The consuls said there were 81, 600 men,
women and children, foreign subjects, in
the city and they requested cessation
of hostilities in order to enable them to
be removed outside Santiago and to be
placed under the protection of the
United States. This was definitely re-
fused by the American commander, who
declined to accept any such RESPONSE
bility. The consuls were told that it
rested with them to insist upon the sur
render of the city. The consuls ex-
pressed grave doubts as to General
Linares' surrender, on account of false
kilograms in regard to Spanish victories
and yellow fever among the American
troops, sent daily to Madrid which
caused the Spaniards to think they dare
not surrender and return to Spain. A
courier of the Associated Press at four
o'clock this afternoon said no conclu-
SlonS had Deen reached.
General Shafter denies the existence of
regular armistice under the white
flag and it is believed hostilities will re-
commence on Tuesday at 10 a. M, before
which time the exodus of the $1,000
foreigners will be accomplished. The
British warships aPallas and Alert and
the Austrian warship Maria Teresa have
been allowed by Rear Admiral Sampson
to enter the harbor Of Santiago de Cuba
and remove foreign subjects. One
British vessel has already cleared for
Kingston, ia.
The Spanish armored cruiser Cristobal
Colon has listed on her beam ends on
the rocks and it is now practically i'm
possible to save ner.

chase of sixty miles to the westward, the
Brooklyn, closely followed by the Oregon,
oyerhauled the Cristobal Colon after she
had run ashore and had hauled down her
flag. Captain Cook of the Brooklyn went
on board of her and the commander of the
Spanish cruiser came forward to surrender
and was taken on board the New York,
which came up an hour after the Brook
lyn and Oregon had completed the
capture of the Cristobal Colon. The latter
was not seriously damaged, though she
was struck several times by shots from
the Brooklyn and Oregon.
During the chase clever vancouver of
Commodore Schley's in heading due West
to Cape Caney, while the Cristobal Colon
had taken more southerIy direction
with much greater distance to cover,
rendered the Spaniard's escape impossible.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Cristobal Colon, and perhaps the other
three Spanish armored cruisers would
baye escaped had it not been for the
prompt action of Commodore SchIey. The
Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was in a
position to attack the Spanish vessels as
they left the harbor, and the Commodore
steamed directly towards them and en-
gagged all four cruisers, inflicting great
damage upon them.
The Oregon was the first to join the
Brooklyn and afterward the Iowa, Indi-
ana, Texas and Vixen closed around the
Spaniards, all pouring in deadly fire.
But from the beginning to the end of the
fight, the Brooklyn, Oregon and Glouces-
ter took the most important part in the
destruction of the enemy
One man, George Henry Ellis, was
killed Oh board the Brooklyn. His head
was blown off by she'll One other man,
j. Burns, was injured on board of her.
The Brooklyn was struck half dozen
times, but no injury was done to any of

m The Spanish made a desperate
night attack upon our left shortly before
10 O'Clock Saturday evening. The assault
was directed at the position that had
been carried by Gen. Kent's men. The
Spaniards left the trenches and charged
across the open, striking heavily upon
Gen. Wykoffa's brigade, consisting of
the 9th, 10 and oath infantry. They were
reinforced by heavy fire all along their
line Of guns and batteries and succeeded
in driving some of our men from the
trenches; but the heavy fire the Amer1-
cans in turn poured in staggered the
Spanish liGe and sent it reeling backward
with heavy loss The Americans had
advanced from the trenches for the first
time; and while the Spaniards were in
the open, some of our gatlings on the ex.

The casualties among our men were
not heavy. Gen. Hawkins was shot in
