American army has been ordered to the
front, apparently with the intention of
forcing their way into Santiago, and OF
making their entrance to the city as
soon as possible.
The troops have advanced nearly to
the city but the Notifications are very
strong and our losses have been eX-
tremely heavy.
A long and bloody struggle will no
doubt take place before our troops can
raise the flag over the fallen ramparts,
1t is even doubtful if there is a suffi-
cient number Of American forces in that
locality to drive the foe to surrender,
notwiths tanding the bravery and skill
of our officers and men whose glorious
action thus far has never been excellcd
in the history of any war the world ever
knew.
An officer who has just come in wea-
w and covered with dust estimates that
the whole number of killed and wound
cd is over thousand.
The shells from the Spanish fleet in
the harbor wrought terrible execution
among our troops-much more than was
realized from the fire of the land forces

LONDON, July "A despatch from
Madrid says it was officially announced
at the cabinet meeting held yesterday
that Camara's torpedo boat destroyers
will return to Spain.
For what reason this is to be done is
not definitely known but it is supposed
that it will facilitate his more rapid
progress to the Philippines, as they
would impede him in several ways il
he kept them with him.
This disposition of his small craft is
a strong indication that his plans are to

Prof. Wilkins reads his eases from

CORDAGE SCARCE
Dewey's Blockade Doubles Prices OF
Rope and Irvine

NEW YORK, July 5.-The World says:
Admiral Dewey's blockade of the Philip
hines threatens to create a cordage dearth
throughout the civilized world. 1t has
doubled the price of Manila rope and twine
in this country, and by doubling the price
Of Manila hemp has made fortunes for
manufacturers who had large stocks In
reserve. The John Goode Cordage and Ma
chine Company. forced into the hands OF
receiver several months ago, was among
the concerns which held reserve stock OF
the hemp, and steps are being taken to
reorganize the company on a solid financial
basis.
John Goode, of cordage fame. discussed
the situation.
at will require" he said, "about $780,.
GOO, 900 pounds of Manila Irvine to bind this
years wheat crop in the United States.
From the closest estimates we can make,
we find the present supply of Manila hemp
outside the Philippines will be exhausted
in three months. AS considerable time Is
required to transport the hemp from Ma
nila to this country, we will have to ar
range matters soon or the cordage manu-
facturers will find themselves without any
raw material.
I'm that event the great Western wheat
farms would soon have no binding mater
ial to use on their reapers and might have
to 20 back to the old-fashioned method Of
binding their sheaves with straw. This
would be a tremendous task in the fields
which cover miles upon miles Of territory
and might result In the loss Of much of the
grain through exposure to the weather.
Sisal Irvine, the material for which comes
from Mexico. might be substituted in the
reapers for the Manila, but the supply Of
that Is limited and would certainly not be
sufficient to meet the demand.
you may gain some idea Of the immen-
sity of the demand when tell you the $780,
900, 900 pounds Of Irvine required this year
by the farmers would contain ninety BIZ
lions ineal feet and would cost them about
SIS, 900 900. Since the war began the price
Of Manila hemp has run UP from to Sh
cents a pound. I think It is selling at 8
cents today
