SAGASTA RESIGNS,
Tenders His Resignation as Premier to the
Queen Regent-Advises a
Military Cabinet.

London, July 12.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times, telegraphing
Monday, says "Senor Sagasta went
to the palace today and rendered his
resignation and that Of the cabinet. 1t
Is said that he advised the queen re-
gent to appoint a new cabinet, largely
consisting of the military element,
which would not necessarily mean the
ably the reverse.
ut is generally expected that the
resignation will be accepted, but the
result may possibly be merely a partial
reconstruction Of the cabinet. The
ministers are now in council, and
Senior Sagasta has doubtless commune
Gated to them an account of his audi
ence with the queen regent"

CERVERA'S FLELT
BADLY SHIELDED.
Special to EVENING HERALD.

New York, July IA correspondent of
the New York Sun was with the Board of
Survey when the vessels of Admiral Cervera's
squadron were examined last Saturday and
in a dispatch to his paper he says two ships
of the fleet, the Cristobal Colon and the In
fanta Maria Teresa, may be saYed and added
to the American navy.
The Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, Pluton,
and Furor are total wrecks. 1t was found
that the Almirante Oquendo had suffered the
most punishment from the American fire.
Part of her hull is under water, but in that
part which was examined it was found that
she had been struck sixty-six times. The
Infanta Maria Teresa was struck thirty
three times, the Vizcaya twenty-four, and
the Cristobal Colon, eight. All had distinct
wounds in their hulls. The shots were from
the 4, 5, s, s and 10 inch guns. Only one big
shell, a 12-incher from the Texas, struck the
ships. That tore a hole through the AL
mirante OquendO. There were other shell
holes made by the Brooklyn, Oregon ant
Iowa.

All Quiet at Santiago Pending a Considera-
ton of Terms For Surrender by the
Enemy---Little Firing Has
Been Done.
CITY COMPLETELY SURROUNDED
Special TO EvESrNG HERALD.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Washington, July I2.-General
Shafter wires the war department
that all is quiet at Santiago.
The bombardment has been
suspended again under a flag of
truce to again give the enemy an
opportunity to consider terms for
the surrender of the city, which is
entirely surrounded.
There has been little fighting so
far and no Americans have been
killed, Notwithstanding reports to
the contrary yesterday.
1t is the expectation that the
American army will be in full
possession of Santiago before many
hours.
General Toral has evidently
weakened considerably and the
news that Sagasta's ministry has
resigned coupled with the complete
and effective surrounding of Santi'
ago by the American forces will nc
doubt work towards bringing hin
to terms.
General Shafter does not say ii
his despatch when the armistict
will end, but the war department.
does not look for any news o
operations to-day.

Playa Del Este, July 12.-At half
past 9 in the morning, after several
range finding shots over the ridge
protecting Santiago from the sea, the
United States cruiser Newark opened
fire into the city with her eight inch
guns.
The signal corps officers stationed on
top of the ridge reported the effect of
the shots. The New York, Brooklyn
and Indiana participated in the firing,
at intervals of five minutes. The bonn
bardment lasted for two hours, when
General Shafter reported that the shells
were mostly falling in the bay and do
ing but little damage.
The last shot, however, struck a
prominent church in the heart of the
city, which was heavily stored with
powder and ammunition, causing a
tremendous explosion. The extent of
the damage is not yet known.
When the warships ceased firing and
before General Shafter had begun a
land attack a flag Of truce was seen
coming from the city. The object OF
this was not known at noon, when the
press correspondent left the front.

health is valuable thing to know in

Diaz is thoroughly familiar with this
part of the work.
DIR. Diaz is we'll acquainted with the

why he will be of good service to the

He is native Cuban, but has recently
been in Mexico in the interest Of the
Baptist missions there. He is, besides
being doctor of medicine, also doctor
OF divinity, and stands at the head of
the Baptist denomination in Cuba. He
has practically built the church up in
the little island until when the present
revolution commenced many of the
prominent Cubans on the islands were
members of his church.
DR.. Diaz will enlist in the Georgia

these islands from developing the riches

The Stars and Stripes In Evidence on
Athletic Hosiery.
The demand for patriotic or flag
handkerchiefs has increased so materi-
ally during the last few days that q
considerable advance in prices now OBJ
tains for these goods. Manufacturing
plants in New York which recently
were comparatively idle are today being
operated to maximum capacity, and in
some cases night work is done in order
to make deliveries promptly. Stars and
stripes and the Cuban flag are now in
tertwined in silk embroidery on golf
and bicycle hose. Fancy prices rule,
and there are many small scale manu-
facturers who have stopped work on
staple lines in order to produce the
popular goods. A leading hat concern
in the wholesale market recently said
to a New York Sun reporter:
"This Castilian- American war is a
godsend to the hat trade The other day
it looked as though our seasons bust
ness would go by default, but today the
demand exceeds the supply of military
caps for boys and girls, and the hurrah
consumption has only just started. The
only thing that bothers us is as to how
long the work will last. However, we
are making hay while the sun Shines,
and, strange to relate, there are but few
objections to price, none at all, in fact,
where stock is ready for immediate de-
livery" It is said that prices Of bunt-
ing and similar fabrics have been Jump
ed about 400 per cent in few days.
