Chicago. July s

ChlcagO, July .
WHEAT-Better cables today from Lfv-
erpoOl than expected and light receipts
started wheat rather firm. The excellent
weather conditions, however. kept the
trade in a bearish temper and there was
considerable selling of small lots by COM
mission firms Crop news was conflicting.
Reports from the DakOtas claimed the
growing crop had been seriously damaged
vices from Michigan Indiana and Ohio
were of the most hattering nature. Scalp
ing business was restricted by the tax i'm
posed by the new revenue law. 1t is
thought this drawback will cease to be
much of influence when the trade gets
fully accust toned to it. Northwestern re-
ceipts were 46 cars, as compared with 167
last year. Chicago received II cars. July

HAVE A WHITE ELEPHANT.
The Department Perplexed as to the
Disposal of Spanish Prisoners.

Washington. July 6.-The question of
what disposition to make of the Span
ish prisoners taken by the United
States forces is causing the war depart
ment some perplexity. The matter was
under discussion yesterday, but Secre-
tary Alger said no conclusion had been
reached as to the steps to be taken.
1t is realized that the naval prisoners
can not be kept long aboard ship. They
must be gotten off before active opera
tions are taken 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 well out in
the water pending their final disposition.
AS was the practice during the late war,
the naval prisoners in all probability will
be turned over to the care of the army.
General Shafter. however, already has his
hands full in this direction, for, accord
ing TO the unofficial reports which have
reached here he had captured a large
number of prisoners.
One suggestion which the army officials
have under consideration is the establish
ment near Skaters army of camp
where both the army and navy prisoners
may be located. A suggestion that it
might be in 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,
such action will be taken.
The suggestion that the Spanish prison.
ers be brought to the United States is sure
to meet with objections from those who
fearful that this will increase the
danger of the Importation of yellow fever.

Kingston Receives Those Who Have
Escaped Santiago's Fall.
Kingston. Jamaica, July 6-Thousands
of people met the launches of the Eng
Hsh and American warships at the wa
terside at Santiago, and when the for
eign residents learned that passengers
would be taken off, the English and
Austrian consulates were besieged by
hundreds emploring a chance to leave.
One Spanish merchant, in a pitiable
state of alarm, offered the British con-
sui. Mr.. Ramsden, $4,000 in gold to
designate him as a British Cuban,
worthy to be taken away.
Those brought to Jamaica came IN
the clothes they stood in, some even
with absolutely no kind of baggage,
having thought only of escaping with
their lives.
The non-combatants in the city were
in a state of desperate panic. Miss
Ramsden, the British consuPs daugh-
ter, says the American shells flew
around their house on Saturday and
Sunday morning. Mr.. Ramsden could
not leave Santiago and his wife would
not
No one seems to know accurately the
strength of the Spanish forces in the
city and it's environs; but 5000 appears
a probable estimate of those fit for
duty. Streams of wounded have been
flowing in day and night from the fir
ing lines. Every fifth house in Santi-
ago is an impToVised hospital.
The sailing of Admiral Cervera's fleet
had q bad effect on the soldiers. They
were dismayed when they saw the war
ships no longer in the harbOr and left
themselves abandoned to fate. They
interpreted it to mean that Admiral
Cervera and General Linares consider
ed the city could not be held. The de-
structiOn of the fleet was not known
when the Alert and Pallas left, but was
rumOred through the city.
1t is understood here that an officer
Of the Vizcaya, in civilian dress, who
had been on shore duty, came on the
Alert, which is still at Port Royal. The
captain of the Almirante Oquendo is
supposed to have arrived on the Alert in
disguise. The archbishop Of Santiago,
having addressed a communication to
General Linares and the authorities ad-
having received q favorable reply, ca
bled to Madrid on Monday morning be
fore cable communication was inter-
rupted. In his cable he said:
That the SpaniardS, having braVely
fought and lost should now. in the in
terest of humanity, cease to continue
the useless struggle.

REVIEWED BY GEN. LEE.
Seventh Army Corps Paraded in the
Rain at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville. Fla, July 6.-The parade
and review of the Seventh army corps
by Gems Lee and Arnold was a grand
success, though marred by rain, which
fell all afternoon. The Second Illinois
had the post of honor on the right of the
line, leading the parade. The Fourth
Illinois came seventh, leading the Third
brigade of the First division. The Iowa
and Wisconsin troops were in good
shape, and marched we'll.
The Illinois boys attracted much at
tentiOn by their soldiery appearance
and good, steady marching. They had
an easy swing that particularly delight
ed the thousands who lined the streets
under umbrellas, and they received
much applause Gen. Lee rode at the
head and reviewed the troops as they
filed off toward the camps. He cOmpli-
mented Arnold, the commander of the
First division on the fine condition of
his men, and their good appearance IN
der such adverse conditions. The Tor
rey rough riders (SecOnd cavalry were
heartily greeted and cheered all along
the line. Over 1900 men were in line,
and the parade was a fine spectacle, the
companies marching in platOOns.

the future of Spain. The tone of the
the remark generally heard, .God alone
knows what Will happen"
Death Rather Than Surrender.
Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
Before Santiago de Cuba, Monday,
July 4, via Kingston, Jamaica, July g.
Not a shot has been exchanged between
the opposing armies since yesterday
noon. At the request of the foreign
consuls in Santiago, Gen. Shafter ex-
tended until tomorrow, the period in
which Gen. Linares may agree to sur
render his forces under the threat that
the town will be bombarded. The Span
ish generals decision is doubtful It is
unquestiOnably true that the annihila-
ton of Admiral Cervera's fleet was a
staggering blow to him; but Mr.. Rams
den, the British consul, says Gen. Pan
do has reinforced Gen. Linares with
5000 troops and that the Spaniards are
bitterly determined to fight it out.
He said that so intense was the feeling
among the Spanish subaltern officers,
that Gen. 1inareS would probably be
shot if he surrendered Their attitude
was expressed in Gen. Linares' reply to
Gen. Shafter yesterday: ''This gar
rison dies, but never surrenders."
Among some of the soldiers however,
a different feeling must prevail. They
have ascertained from the experience
of the inhabitants of SibOney that
American soldiers do not abuse women
but respect property and relieve pris-
Oners in distress.
Many of the Spaniards therefore are
now utterly Indifferent if further mis-
fortune befalls the Spanish army.
The armistice is not officially recog-
nized and our boys have been cautioned
to keep out of sight.

TRIBUND MEETS.
Notable German Gathering at San
Francisco.


San Francisco, July 6.-At the hall OF
the San Francisco turnverein the Nord
Arnerikanisher tribund began its
eighteenth biennial session yesterday.
The hall is deliberately decorated IN
honor of the occasion. Representatives
from all the states in the Union are
present.
One of the important questions to be
disposed of is as to whether the present
constitution shall be abolished. The
New York delegation desires this step
to be taken because the constitution IS
declared to be ambiguous, ana many
bitter controversies have arisen pc
cause of this fault.
The convention will also be called
upon to decide whether women snail pc
admitted to the organization as mem
bers. 1t is probable that the convention
will vote to change the course OF STUDY
at the normal school from two years 70
one Many of the delegates think II
advisable to go back to the one year
course.
Very little business was transacted
at the first session of the convention:
President Henry Braun, of St LOUIS
called the convention to order ana an
nounced the election of temporary
chairman Delegate COurtin or san
lose and William Wartmann OF nuts
burg were placed in nomination, the pal

NEWS FROM KANSANS.
Leavenworth People Receive Mes
sages From the Front.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 6.-News
was received at Fort Leavenworth last
night telling that Captain James For
nance, Thirteenth infantry, had been
killed at the fight before Santiago.
Captain Torrance was one of the most
post and the news caused sorrow.
Captain Torrance was a native of
Pennsylvania, and graduated from
West Point in 1871. In June of the same
year he was commissioned second lieu
tenant in the Thirteenth, and after
a year was promoted to first Lieutenant,
and was made regimental adjutant. He
had this position for seven years and
participated in one Indian campaign.
He was promoted to captain in 1889.
While stationed at his post he married
a young lady of New Orleans, and
leaves a widow and one child.
News was received during the day
that the report of the death of Lieut..
that he was badly wounded in both hips,
but might recover. The news was for
Warded to his wife, now in Lawrence.
The wife of Lieut.. Alfred L. Mills,
First cavalry, received a cablegran
from Cuba from her husband, stating
that he was wounded in the head, but
he expects to recover. He is receiving
the best of attention, and will likely re-
turn home.
Mrs. Lieut. Grisard received a mes
sage from the war department stating
that no word had been received about
her husband, and they were unable to
confirm the report about his being
wounded An effort is being made to
get a cable message through for his
wife.
Mrs Grin B. Myer is in receipt of
telegram from Gen. Myer, who states
that he has the permission of President
Mckinley to bring his son back from
Santiago, and that his information is
that his wound is not serious.
