Special Dispatch to the Daily Ledger.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July
E, CA p. m.)-No notice of
bombardment of Santiago has
been yet received at the War
Department.
A report comes from Key
West that the Spanish warship
Alphonso XII, while attempting
to run the blockade at Havana,
was captured by an American
cruiser.
Advices from Cairo, Egypt,
say the Spanish fleet has ar
rived at Santiago, and that
Camara has been notified to
leave within twenty-four hours
without coaling. The machin-
cry OF the Pelayo, the best
ship in the squadron, is out of
order.
A report from Gen. Shafter
says Lieut.. Hobson and his
men are to be exchanged to-
day.
The Iroquois and the Chero-
kee have sailed from Santiago
to Key West with o25 wound
ed American soldiers on board.
The surrender OF Santiago is
looked for here without bonn
bardment, as it is known that a
desperate effort is being made
by foreign Consuls and other
prominent personages in the
beleagured city looking to this
end.

To exchange a Spanish admiral for
an American naval contributor might
seem strange under ordinary circum-
stances, but it would be done without
any begruding by the authorities here,
and would be particularly appropriate,
in view of the action of Cervera at b
time Hobson surrendered to him.
Unjust Criticism Resented.
The dispatch from the front stating
that there was likely to be some criti-
cism because Of the treatment OF
foreign military attaches excited much
indignation among the military author
tiles here. It was stated by nj OF the
highest officers in the service that the
foreign gentlemen had received alb
solutely everything in the way OF &C.

FITI LEE AND MOSBY.
Compliments of the Cavalry
Leader to the Partisan.

There is keen jealousy between
Gen Mosby, the cavalry leader of
the Confederacy, and General Fitz
hugh Lee, says w f Curtis in
The Chicago Record. Mosby of
fered his services to the President
p ss soon as war seemed probable,
and is nue. &;sappolnted because
= the.y we're r~t accepted. The other
day he spoke sneeringly of Lees
record during the late war, and
asserted that he (Mosby) carried
the last Confeder ate flag that was
seen in Virginia. When his re-
marks were quoted to General
lee, the latter smiled and said:
eyes, think Mosby is right.
He probably was the last man
that carried Confederate flag
through Virginia, but Fitzpatrick
Was after him and he carried it so
fast that the people never knew
whether it was a Sunday school
banner or a smallpox warning"
