TIIF FOURTH IN THE TRENCHES
How Our Wen Celebrated the Day
Waiting Answer TO Demand for SUR
render-Request for Time From For
eign COunsuls.

Copyright by Associated Press)
Before Santiago de Cuba, Monday
July 4, per the Associated Press dis
patch boat Dauntless via Port Antonio
ia, Tuesday July 5, via Kingston, ia,
6.-NOt a single shot has been eX-
changed between the opposing armies
since yesterday noon. At the request
of the foreign consuls in Santiago de
Cuba General .Shafter extended until
tomorrow (Tuesday) the period in
which General Linares may agree to
surrender his forces, under the threat
that the town will be bombarded. The
Spanish generals decision is doubtful.
1t is unquestionably true that the
annihilitation of Admiral Cervera s
fleet was a staggering blow to him;
but Mr.. Ramsden, the British consul,
says General Pando has reinforced
General Linares with 5000 troops and
that the Spaniards are bitterly deter
mined to fight it out. He said that so
intense was the feeling among the
Spanish subaltern officers that Gen
eral Linares would probably be shot
if he surrendered. Their attitude was
expressed in General Linares' reply to
General Shafter yesterday:
This garrison dies but never sur
renders"
Among some the soldiers, a different
feeling prevails. They have ascertain
tanned from the experience of the in
inhabitants of Siboney that American
soldiers do not ravish women, but re-
spect property and relieve prisoners
of distress. Many of the Spaniards
therefore, are now utterly Indifferent
if further misfortune befalls the
Spanish army.
The armistice is not officially recog-
niZed and our boys have been caution
ed to keep out of sight, as a stray
shot at any time may precipitate gen.
eral firing along the line.
CELEBRATING THE FOURTH IN
THE TRENCHES.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
at noon today by the Americans, each
regiment reading General Miles con-
gratulatory telegram to General Shat
ter after which the regimental bands
in the rear of the line played patriotic
airs.
General Miles announcement that
he would be here within a week with
reinforcements was received with wild
cheering.
In spite of the reports brought by
the consuls Of the determination of
the Spaniards to continue the contest
there is a strong hope here that Cen
eral Linares will capitulate. No other
construction can be placed upon his
dispositions to negotiate.

SPANS LAST CRUISER
In Santiago Harbor Destroyed-The
Reina Mercedes sunk.

Copyright by Associated Press)
Headquarters of General Shafter,
Tuesday, July g. by the Associated
Press Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Port
Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica, July
6. 5 p. m.-The destruction of the
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes last
night (Monday) accounts for the last
ship Of Admiral Cervera's once splen-
did squadron.
She lies today in plain view, her bow
resting on the base Of the beach under
Ell Moro. Part of the hull is above wa
ter and her masts and two stacks are
e. tirely out of water. It is not yet
own whether she attempted to es-
CO Je from the harbor or whether the
Spaniards tried to sink her near the
hull of the Merrimac and thus block
the entrance to prevent the Americans
from getting in.
Her sinking was most dramatic. Just
after midnight she was seen drifting
slowly out Of the narrow entrance by
one of the American scouts. In a
moment the feet was aolaze with sig
nails and almost instantly an awful
hail OF shells was pouring down upon
her. 1t is not known whether she re-
turned the fire, but the shore batter
les opened and one S-inch shell fell on
the Indiana's forward deck exploding
below. The explosion occurred in the
mems sleeping rooms, but all were at
quarters and no one was hurt No
other American ship was hit during
the engagement, or incident which
lasted only few minutes.

Kinley at 11:40 o'clock tonight issued
the following proclamation to the
American people:
'To the People Of United States Of
America:
'At this time when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the Unprecedented
success which attended the operations
of the United States fleet in the bay
of Manila on the first day of May last
are added the tidings of the no less
glorious achievements of the naval
and military arms of our beloved
country at Santiago de Cuba, it is fit
ting that we should pause, and, stay
ing the feeling of eXultatiOn that too
naturally attends great deeds wrought
by our cOuntrymen in our country's
cause, should reverently bow before
the throne of Divine Grace and give
devout praise to God who holdeth the
nations in the hollow of His hand and
worketh upon them the marvels of His
high will, and who has thus far vouch-
safed to us the light Of His face and
led our brave soldiers and seamen to
victory.
Il, therefore, ask the people Of the
United States upon next assembling
for divine worship in their respective
places of meeting to offer thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God, who in his in
scrutable ways, now leading our hosts
upon the waters to unScathed
triumph, now guiding them in a
strange land through the dread shad-
ows of death to success, even though
at fearful cost, now bearing them
without accident or loss to far dis
tant climes, has watched over our
cause and brought nearer the success
of the right and the attainment Of
just and honorable peace.
With the nations thanks that there
mingle the nations prayers that our
gallant soldiers may be shielded from
harm alike on the battlefield and in
the clash of fleets and be spared the
scOurge of suffering and disease while
they are striving to uphold their cOun-
try's honor; and with all, let the ma
tion's heart be stilled with holy awe
at the thought of the noble men who
have perished as heroes die, and be
for all those who suffer bereavement
or endure Sickness wounds and bonds
by reason of the awful struggle. And
above all, let us pray with earnest
fervor, that He, the Dispenser of all
good, may speedily remove from us
the untold Affections of war and bring
to our dear land the blessings of re-
stored peace and to all the domain
now ravaged by the cruel strife the
priceless boon Of security and tran
