WASHINGTON, July 11.-Up TO midnight
no news from either the army or navy at
Santiago had reached the departments so
far as the public was Informed. Though the
possibility of interrupted cable was accepted
as an explanation for the lack of advices, 1t
was announced at midnight that nothing

after daylight and ran into hornets nest.
AS a result of the mems anxiety to locate
the small Spanish gunboat Sandoval,
which is known to be in the vicinity of the
fort, the Americans went quite a distance
beyond the patrol limits and the Spanish
pickets located along the bluff suddenly
opened fire on the launch with Mauser
rifles, which was at once followed by vol
leys from soldiers in the fort The launch
replied with her one-pounder but the firing
of the Spaniards was entirely too heavy for
the little boat to contend against and she
beat hurried retreat. Although the launch
was under fire for ten minutes she was not

MADRID, July 1.-THE newspapers of

the ministerial crisis owing to the attitude
of Senior Gamazo, the minister of public
instruction. The official Correspondence
confirms the report of the Cabinet crisis.
The impartial says of Sundays Cabinet

attached to the fact that Spain will reap
great advantages in negotiations for peace
before Santiago and Manila. and perhaps
even Porto Rico are captured. as should
the Americans occupy these places their

The impartial adds: 1T is most probable
that the government will telegraph Captain

IN 4 FEW DAYS
New Pail Road Will Soon
be Opened.
Storm Did Not Hurt 1t FINISHING
TouChes-Creditable Work of
Wilson Il Whitehouse.

Before the week is out the new Pail
road will be open to all manner of
traffic. 1t will be available for use
even before the work is formally ac-
cepted by the Interior Department from
Wilson & Whithouse, the contractors.
While the storm delayed work some
what, it is greatly to the credit of the
contractors that it may be said truth
fully the heavy rains and strong winds
failed to make any impression what
ever on any part of the new work.
1t is on account of the rain that until
yesterday some concrete work could
not be undertaken. This will be fin
ished today and so soon at it is dry the
entire job will be completed. While
the concrete is setting" the remain
der of the required force will be added
as wall wings and the last part of the
work will be over Then there will be
a new Pail road in reality.
During the past week Wilson &
WhitehOuse have been reducing their
force and taking away construction
working material and such structures
as could be moved and used elsewhere.
Much material has been sent to the
grading district between Waianae and
Waialua, where the firm has contracts
with the Oahu Railway Company Mr.
WhitehOuse came to town yesterday
He left in charge at the Pail Messrs
GOrham, Henry Crane and Joe Punt
The number of laborers had been re-
duce from IT'S to so. All of the lunas
and men will be away from the place
before the end of the week.
The construction of this road would
present itself to the most experienced
and oldest contractors as stupendous
| undertaking. Some misgivings were
expressed when it was learned that the
two young men of the firm of Wilson
& WhitehOuSe were the successful bid
ders. Mr.. Wilson, who is son Of the
ex-marshal, had done some work OF
the sort and Mr.. WhitehOuse was we'll
recommended. The boys took hold and
splendidly indicated themselves and
the judgment of their friends. They
have carried on the big business fol
months without hitch, handling hun
| dreds of men and thousands of dol
lars worth of material. They have
fulfilled all pledges and have made q
better road than the specifications cal
| for.
While Wilson & Whitehouse have
| done their work as agreed, and the
road is a vast improvement over the
| old one, it will be further betteret
as to finish when funds can be spared
| by the Government.

G.. w. ASHFORD.
Council of State Votes That he
Nav Return.


The second matter brought before the
Council of State yesterday was the
case of c. W. Ashford. 1t was voted
that he be allowed to return to the
country. There was not an aye and
nay vote, but no voices were heard in
the negative on the proposition. Two
or three members failed to vote.
G. w. Ashford was not pardOned for
the reason that he was not under con-
viction. He was under charge of mis-
prison of treason, when he agreed to
leave the country to return only by
leave Of the Government. For many,
many months rumors were circulated
that he would come to Hawaii again
by this or that boat, without consult
ing the Government. No attempt was
made. A petition was filed in regular
form. The Executive Council was I'M
itedly in favor of granting permission
to return and so recommended to the
Council of State.
1t is expected that G. w. Ashford will
be in Hawaii nei again within a month
or five weeks, and that he will at once
resume the practice of law. He had a
good clientele when he left after the
disturbance of 1895. V. V. Ashford
who was convicted of misprison OF
treason, and who after being sentenced
to imprisonment, was allowed to leave
the country, is still in San Francisco
and has been sick good deal of the
time for couple of years.
