sANTIAGo's FALL EXPECTED.

Washington, June 1.-The sentiment in
the cabinet was that there was strong
possibility that the fall of Santiago might
be announced at any time now. Assur-
anee was given at today's session of cabi-
net Of the expectation of the administra-
tion that Germany would not interfere at
Manila. There was some discussion on
this point, but both the President and
Secretary Day said they had received as
surances that there was no unfriendly
action contemplated on the part of the
German empire. They believed there was
no foundation for the reports of the I'm
friendly attitude of Germany and of radi-
cal steps contemplated by that govern
men5. The administration has much CON
fidence in the Judgment and tact of both
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt. The
latest advices, it was reported to the
cabinet were that Admiral Camara's
Spanish fleet would proceed through the
Suez canal on it's journey to the Philip
pine islands. This, however, is discounted
by previous expectations and preparations
and there is confidence in the arrival of
the Monterey, Monadnock and Charleston
off Manila before Camara can possibly
reach there.

IS EGYPT,S BUSINESS.

London, July LIN the House of
Commons today, Mr.. Michael Davitt
asked whether article of the Suez canal
convention stipulated that war ships of
belligerents should only remain "a hours
at Port Said, whether the Spanish ships
had been there since Sunday and whether
Egypt or Great Britain was respons BILE
for this long stay. The preliminary sec
rotary for the foreign office, MIR. Cur2on
in reply. said, the provisions of the con-
vention had never brought into operations
and the question was one primarily for
the consideration of the Egyptian govern
ment. adding:
There seems to be good reason for
the course adopted in the present case. -
''What are the rsasons?" asked Mr..
Davitt.
81 am not in councils Of the Egyptian
government, said Mr.. Curzon in
reply.
Later Mr.. Curzon made further state
ment to the effect that there are four
British and five German warships at
Manila. He added that the British COM
mander- in-chief at Hong Kong was salts
fed that the British force was sufficient
for the protection of the interests of Great
Britain, and if this was not the case, the
commander in-chief at Hong Kong was
in a position TO augment the naval forces
at Manila.

MORE SPANISH WAR TACTICS

General Kent's headquarters, near
Aguadores, June, 30.-The Spaniards in
the front of Gen. Kent's line have
adopted a new method OF preventing him
from firing ON their works. They have
strung at frequent intervals Red Cross
flags, the line being directly in view of
their intrenchments.
The obj act of this. it is thought at Gen.
Kenb's headquarters, is to prevent the
Americans from firing in that direction,
or If the Red Gross is ignored, to spread
the idea that the American soldiers are
violating the rules of civilized warfare in
firing upon hospitals.
1t having been determined that no at
tention will be paid to the Red Cross flags
SO long as they are close up to what is be-
lieved will be the line of fire.
Much work has been done on the roads
in this vicinity. The heavy rains placed
them in bad condition, and it was almost
impossible to transport artillery and
teams over them. 1t is believed, however,
that the American officers have deter
mined not to await the arrival of tho
artillery, but to move forward on Aqua
dores as soon as possible. AS there is only
a small battery and weak garrison there
the place should be taken without diff
Guilty unless the men get in range of the
big guns of the batteries east of Morro
castle. Crowds of Cuban refugees from
Santiago filed along the roads today and
all told the same story-the city is short
OF food. They say the Spaniards rely
mainly on the entertainments in front Of
the city, the guns inside of it being Of
little use.
The Cuhans also say the Spaniards are
terrified at the approach of the American
troops and the refugees predict that they
will make but a short defense.

Boston, July 1.-Hon. Charles Levi

perience, died at the Parker house this
afternoon aged 70 years. He had recently
returned from trip to the South and

months of a combination of throat and
heart trouble. He was born in Porls.
mouth, n. H., on May %, 1920. He was
educated in Washington, d. c.. He came
to Boston in 1885, where he has ever since
been established. He was recognized as
one of the ablest expounders of constitu-
tional law, and an authority on interna-
tional law, and his contributions to legal
literature were important. In politics he
was q life long Democrat In 1857 he was
elected TO the lower house of the New
hampshire legislature and the same year
he was appointed United States district
attorney for Massachusetts. In 1870 and
1871 he was a member of the lower house

wishes, but to be forced upon him by his
superior officer, Gen. sToral, commanding
at Santiago. 1t is evident tho Spanish

entertainments about the city.
The capture Of Caney and possibly the
occupation OF the commanding plateau,
Is now thought to be the limit Of tomor-
rows movement Gen. Lawton's colu-
nand carries provisions sufficient to last
until July 4. With the present trains
continuing without any accident, he will
readily have food enough to last to July

informed officer, and perhaps sooner,
Santiago will be taken
The mission is q most hazardous one,

own men as well as that of the enemy
2he pacificos who have been brought into
the American camp during the last few
days are in a pitiable condition. Men,
women and children are absolutely
starving and they welcome American
shelter.
Gen. Shafter has established headquart-
srs with Gen. Lawton, and today hoisted
she corps flag. Today the signal corps
used observation balloons, obtaining a
perfect view of the Spanish entrench-
ments, the city and the harbor.
This move of the fifth division will
completely turn the Spanish eastern
flank. General Kent's command will be
able to move up parallel to its position,
acting as wall against the horde of
Spaniards from three strong lines south
aud east Should a serious effort be made
to prevent General Lawton gaining the
desired plateau and the Spanish interior

and General Wheeler may be thrown for

1ated.
