The Advance.

SHAFTER's HEADQUARTERS, Monday.
The Americans have advanced stead
lily all day.
In several of the Spanish trenches
were found dummy guns but no Span
iards were evident.
The enemy put up very weak fire
and the American officers have received
further evidences of great distress in
Santiago.
Whether the enemy will make their
escape to the westward or not is ques-
ton vet to be decided. However, the
indications as shown from their weak
defence leads to the belief that Toral is
making his preparations to that end and
may leave for the hills when opportuni-
ty offers.

WHAT SAMPSON SAID.

Reported Conversation He Had With
Schley After Cervera's Defeat.
New York, July 12 - The Telegram
publishes the following from Ports
mouth, N. H.:
1 have endcavored to get the true
story of the naval battle of Santiago, in
which Admiral Cervera's ships were de-
stroyed by the American rot. There is
naturally much of conflict in the YER
sions of the affair. due possibly entirely
to the different points of view in regard
to the alleged strained relations said to
exist between Rear Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley. The following
conversation between these two officers
was repeated to me by an officer who
will vouch for it's accuracy.
According to my informant, Admiral
Sampson, in forbdding Commodore
Schley to make a report of the action
before his own had been filed, is quoted
as saying to that officer:
"Commodure Schley, my flagship was
in signaling distance, as you we'll know
Had this effort of the Spanish fleet to
escape been successful or had it brought
disaster to this fleet would you have
assumed responsibility"
Commodore Schley is said to have
hesitated when the matter was put to
him in that light.
"Then l cannot allow you to take
credit for the victory, to my disparage-
ment," Admiral Sampson is said to
have informed him.
Admiral Cervera stated to me today
that he had received three cablegrams
from the minister of marine at Madrid,
ordering him to leave Santiago. Know
ing the force he would have to encoun-
ter, he felt convinced that obedience to
these orders would spell suicide" to
the imprisoned fleet that faced it.
Then came another dispatch, a per-
emptory one, that left no choice but to
obey. 1t said, mo matter what the
consequences are. go to sea at once and
| fight the enemy"
80 l went out" the admiral said.
"Ny plan was to attack your Brooklyn,
sink or disable her if possible. then run
TO Havana, raise the blockade there
and seek refuge in the harbor, but
failed in my purpose, as you know, lost
all had. my fleet and everything"
CAPTAIN Eulate of the Vizcaya,
wounded. halt in limb and depressed in
spirit, said he had saved his honor, al
i though he had lost his ship. That was
the wording Of a dispatch which he had
sent to his wife after the destruction of
the Vizcaya.

"LET Us HAVE PEACE!"
Cry Bursts Forth From the Heart
of Spain.
MINISTRY SEEMS DOOMED.
Senor Gamnzo's Attitude In the Cabinet
Promises Trouble - BlancO's Advice
to he Sought Regarding the Ques-
ton of Yielding at Once.

Madrid, via Hendaye, France, July IL.
In spite of the fact that public opinion
Is divided it Is inclining rapidly in favor
of peace, the people becoming more con-
vinced every day of the impossibillty or
wjthstanding the power of the united
States. The peace party In the caplnet
Is urging immediate negotiations look
ing to peace, and Senor Gamazo, the
minister Of public instruction, threatens
to resign If the war party outWelghs MS
influence. The war party, however,
urges a continuance Of the struggle TO
convince America that it Is difficult to
obtain a prompt triumph for her army,
and thus secure for Spain better terms
There Is split in the cabinet, which
will probably result in Its resignation
and the formation of an Intermediary
government, because Senor Silvela and
the Conservatives are unwilling to In
cur the responsibility of the peace nego-
tiations, for the best obtainable terms
are certain to be trying to Spanish
pride, which will demand scapegoat.
The newspapers Of this city openly
discuss the imminence Of the minis
terial crisis owing to the attitude Of
OGLlOT NOIlldLO, lIIC Va PN~'-o
instruction. The official Correspondent
ella confirms the reports Of the cabinet
srisis. The impartial says of Sundays
cabinet meeting: 1--WE think Importance
should be attached to the fact that
Spain will reap great advantages IN ne
gOtiatng for peace before Santiago and
Manila and perhaps even Porto Rico are
captured, as should the Americans oc-
cupy those places their terms will nat
urally be harder. 1t Is most probable
that the government will telegraph
Captain General Blanco to this effect,
urging him to direct the opinion of the
army toward this solution. On General
Blanco's reply depends whether the
government commences negotiations
Immediately without awaiting the out
come of the situation at Santiago de
Cuba"
The Liberal publishes an interview
with a minister, who Is quoted as say
Ing that cabinet crisis might occur to-
day, tomorrow or next week, but in any
case it will not be long delayed. The
minister Is said to have added that the
crisis would be the occasion for the
whole ministry resigning in body.
The increasing unpopularity of Senior
Sagasta's government, which Is sup
ported by the throne regardless Of pub
lie opinion, may damage the throne. The
situation is most trying to the queen
regent, who is suffering more keenly
than her subjects. Swayed by outside
counsels and by the divided opinion of
the cabinet and nation, her majesty
must soon decide upon some course of
action and will probably form govern
ment with strong military element
and including the most popular politi-
Clans She has begun consulting on this
subject and had a long conference with
Senior Romero y Robledo.

CASE WAS TWICE TRIED BY JURY.

The contestants Of the will Of the lata
Mrs Roby Williams of Cranston have
been refused a new trial by the Appel

advanced age and left the bulk OF her
estate to Herbert B. Lockwood, a young
man, who during her later life had
been very kind TO her, and with whose
mother the testator had been great
friends when young.
Immediate relatives of the deceased
claimed she was insane and in suppore
of their contention claimed Mrs. VIII
liams was under the delusion that she
had been married to Lockwood by her
family physician. The verdict or the
last jury that tried the case was in IA
vor of the will, and IL Is understood
that a previous jury stood IL To l IN

PUBLIC EDUCATION.
Addresses at Bell ST. Chapel by Mr.. hoyt, Rev. Mr.
Richards and Miss Sarah {. 0oyIs.

At the Bell street chapel last eve-
ming three persons much interested In
education spoke on the temporarily all
absorbing topic of Public Education"
The first address was by Mr.. David w.
Hoyt, principal of thes English hlgh
school on Courses of study" He
outlined the different systems or train
ing i'm the high schools, showing thd
need for the several methods In the
fitting OF the pupils for various walks
i'm life. He dwelt strongly on the inn
portance OF a thorough understanding
of grammar. that expression OF Thought
and transmission of ideas might bd
made easier of attainment, and also
explained the necessity OF some STUDY
into the construction of other languages
than English, as an auxiliary to the
grammar of our mother tongue.
Following Mr.. Hoyt Rev. {. A, l..
Richards spoke on the Relative Values
i'm Public Education" The kindergar-
-ten-apd- evening school question being
of most Importance. Mr. Richards said
there is nothing like starting right!
The first essential Is n sound BODY ana
the kindergarten physical culture woui6
develop the body OF the child and make
him better able to absorb the grammar
school education. even II he were not
SO fortunate as to enter the high school.
Miss Sarah T.. Doyle the last speak
er was thoroughly at home on her top
ic. 'vThe Worth ofv the High School. =
and brought forward many reasons
why the high school should be MAIN
tanned, however. expressing herseln
quite forcibly as TO certain unnecessary
accessories. which she believed might
be eliminated under existing circum-
stances.
Each speaker proved beyond doubt
that all schools are equally important
and that neither this city nor any other
can afford 10 take one step backward
i'm it's march for knowledge.
Mrs. Spencer added few remarke
on the different subjects, and Mr.. AL
fred stone called the attention OF the
audience to the moral responsibility OF
taxpayers. to lack OF which principle,
he said, is due the present uncomfort-
able situation.
