Catalina Island


American ships had given a complete de-
monstration that they could throw shells
into the city and destroy 1t; that the Amer
lean troops had the city completely sur
rounded; that the $4,000 Spanish troops and
the Cuban citizens were starving to death
at Ell Caney, and pointing out that our
army had no means Of feeding them. Gen.
eral Shafter then demanded the uncondi-
tional surrender of the city, and coupled
this demand with the statement that unless
General Toral acceded. the assault would
the city, both by land and sea forces, would
be renewed at once. Several hours elapsed
before any reply was received from Gen
eral Toral, and then he sent q message to
General Shafter to the effect that the mat
ter was Of such great Importance that he
was obliged to refer 1t to the Madrid gov
eminent, and that he would send his an
swer as soon as he could receive instruc-
tons from Madrid. 1t was then late in the
afternoon, and General Shafter gave orders
to all the troops to get as much rest AS
possible and be prepared to resume the at
tack at any moment.
No word had been received from General
Toral up to s p. m. During the time nego-
tiations were pending General Miles ar
rived of Aguadores on the Yale. Admiral
Sampson went on board the Yale and held
a conference with General Miles. Then the
latter went to Siboney, landed for a short
while and held telephone communication
with General Shafter, seven miles away.
General Miles will go to the front tomorrow

to compel the execution of the terms OF an
agreement entered into between Parkers
and Rapp on Oct. Q. 1896, relative to the
purchase by complainant of the Crystalline
group Of mines in Tuolumne county. which
terms Rapp agreed to In the sum OF $780,
900.
Judge Morrow in his opinion says It was
evident the property was bought with the
funds Of Shafer and Rapp. and that ShafeP
gave tacit consent to Rapp to transfer the
property. Judge Morrow states that, &C
cording to the evidence, the title to these
mines was manipulated in a way that does
not commend itself as an honest and busl-
ness-like method. Deeds were drawn and
never recorded; dummies were used to
transfer the title to the mines and other
suspicious transactions resorted u.
The opinion states that the defense was .
mere subterfuge, the idea being that
Shafer and Rapp desired to sell the mines
to other parties and obtain a higher price
for them.
"A decree was ordered entered In favor Of
the complainant directing the specific per-
Torrance OF the terms of agreement.

THE NEW WAR LOAN
The Whole Loan Will Be Taken by
Individual Subscribers

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE subscrip-
lions to the new war loan will close at 8
o'clock next Thursday afternoon. Up to this
time both the number of subscriptions re-
ceived and the aggregate amount subscribed
SO far exceed all estimates. Yesterday the
number of subscriptions was about 81 900 for
the day and the total subscribed for reached
the surprising aggregate Of 5000
Those for $500 and under to date are for
about $65, 900 900, and 1t is expected that 1t
will approximate SIS, 900, 900 by o'clock on
the 14th instant. The subscriptions for sums
exceeding $500 already aggregate 1891 900 900
and 1t is said that at the time of closing they
will have reached $447,000,OOO, making the
grand total, including the largest blanket
bids, over billion and quarter of dollars.
Offers for large amounts are still coming in
rapidly, two 100000 applications having
been received yesterday. Although tine
hurry Of receiving and scheduling the offers
has prevented the officials from making any
accurate computations, 1t is known that the
individual subscriptions are far in excess of
the whole loan, and therefore Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip will direct that, beginning
next Thursday evening, subscriptions from
firms or corporations be Immediately re-
turned to the senders with the checks which
accompanied them. This class Of subscrip-
lions alone now aggregate about SIPS, 900, 900.

A LONG WAYS OFF
The Denver and Rio Grande Makes Its
Annual Bluff

DENVER, July 12.-The Times says to-
day:
According to present plans, the Rio Grande
Western railroad Is to become one Of the
greatest railway systems In the world. The
idea has been formulated by Colonel d. c.
Dodge, general manager Of the road. to ex-
tend its line from Ogden to the Pacific coast
and south through California, with possi-
biity Of its being extended into Mexico.
The only proviso which enters into the
arrangements is that the United States be-
come possessors of the Philippines. 1t is be-
lieved that the commerce that will result
from the annexation of the Philippines,
reaching this country by way Of the Pacific
coast, will necessitate increased railroad
facilities. This consideration led Colonel
Dodge to plan the extension Of the Rio
Grande Western.
1T will not be started this year." said he,
but am positive that the extension will
be made within the next fve years and pos
sibly work will be commenced In 1899 1t IL
a great undertaking and one that will re-
quire an almost inconceivable amount Of
labor and capital. At the present time our
plans are so indefinite that can hardly say
just how things will come out"

Injuries to the Iowa and Indiana

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Navy De-
partment has received no word as to the
injuries to the forward turrets Of the bat
tleships Iowa and Indiana. as referred to
in press dispatches. From this fact the
officials conclude that the injuries are not
serious, as any material damage to the tur-
rets would be promptly reported. For some
time, there has been difficulty in securing
an acute elevation Of the big guns in the
turrets Of the Iowa. The lack OF eleva-
ton Il Of no disadvantage, however. in
the general utility Of the guns. which are
usually nrsd with little or no elevation
