THE MINISTRY DISOUIETED.
The Conviction Deepening that After the
Fall of Santiago They Must
Sue for Peace

PARIS, July 1.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Temps says:
The end is impatiently awaited,
even the government no longer at
tempting to disguise it's conviction that
after the fall of Santiago the time will
have come for thinking about over
lures of peace, especially as all the Eu-
ropean chancellories advise this course
The meetings that are being held at
Bayonne, in the province of Navarro,
and along the Pyreneean frontier, are
greatly disturbing the ministry. The
partisans of Don Carlos are making no
secret of their intention to rise if the
terms upon which peace is concluded
should entail loss of territory.
Gen. Blanco cables that it will be i'm
possible for reinforcements to reach
Santiago in time to aid in the defense,
the Duration of which will depend upon
the supply of food and ammunition,
unless tue garrison attempts desper-
ate sortie.
The Temps, commenting upon the
foregoing dispatch from its Madrid COR
respondent, says: ''What should de-
eide neutral cabinets to give wise
counsel to Madrid is not only the fact
that the latest developments of the
war have entirely changed the COM
plexion of the situation, which was
already grave enough for Spain, but
the further fact that there are trust
worthy indications of a beginning of n
reaction in favor of peace in official
circles"

COMMANDMENT HAS BEGUN.
The Information Given Out by the Wag
Department Yesterday without Any
Word of Explanation.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE bcU-
bardment of Santiago has begun >
That was the verbal information OBJ
tanned last evening shortly before nine
o'clock at the war department. Almost
Immediately three bulletins were post
ed, the most important of which was
from Gen. Shaftcr.
This dispatch announced that Gen.
Toral, who succeeded Gen. Linares in
command of the Spanish forces IN San
tiago when the latter was wounded,
had declined to surrender uncondition-
ally and that the bombardment of the
town would be begun by the army and
navy about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The fact that the bombardment was
scheduled by Shafter to begin so late
in the day created some comment, but
no explanation of it was offered. In
answer to questions bearing upon that
point, Gen. Corbin said:
Il have not the slightest informa-
tion as to the reasons Gen. Shafter had
for beginning the bombardment at the
hour he names, but it was probably be-
cause he was ready just at that time.
You can speculate about that as we'll
as | can"

Cabinet Attended the Thanks

WAsHINGToN, July 1.-THE Ameri-
can flag tloated over the White House
and the war and navy departments yes
terday, an unusual thing for a sab
bath, but a sign of the times. 1t was a
reminder of the presidents call upon
the people of the land to celebrate the
glorious achievements of the American
army and navy. The president him
self and the members of the cabinet
led the way in the observance of the
terms of his proclamation by repairing
TO their respective places of worship
and offering up thanks for the success
that has attended righteous cause,
and prayers for continuance of tn
manifestation of Divine favor.
In the war department Adjt-Gen.
COrbin was busy at his desk, as he has
been every day and half of every night
since the war began.
1t was not expected that hOstilities
would reopen at Santiago yesterday.
No message came during the day from
the army in Cuba until 4:30 o'clock,
when Secretary Alger received cable
gram from Gen. Shafter and immedi-
atsly sent it to the president. The sec

there was no change in the situation
and expressed the opinion that there
would be no fighting yesterday.
Gen. Shafter, he said, occupied an
impregnable position, and did not fear
an attack. The matters contained in
the cablegram beyond that he did not
care to make public.
The secretary at six O'Clock went
home and said he expected nothing i'm
portant last night. 1t was expected
that Gen. Shafter would await the ar
rival of the reinfor1ements now rapidly
nearing his command and expected to
reach i'm tonight or Tuesday MORN
ing.
Gen. Shafter reported last week that
he needed more artillery to insure the
success of his plans and, as Randolph's
batteries arrived only Saturday, two
or three days time would be required
to land them from the steamers and
transport them over the rough noun
tain roads to the position selected for
them on the heights commanding San
tiagO.
