Our losses are heavy. An officer
from the field estimates our killed and
wounded at over 1000.

fleet, did heavy execution among our
troops.

NEW YORK, July "A dispatch to
the New York Evening World dated
Two Miles from Santiago, July L.
says:
San Juan heights have fallen and the
way is now open for an advance on
MORO castle. 1t was a glorious vic.
tory, but very dearly purchased.
The place was the strongest Spanish
outpost, well fortified and ~valiantly
defended. The position was an excel
lent one. San Juan hill is steep and
an artillery battery was located on it.
1t was also occupied by barracks and
other buildings.
Spnniards Are DemoraIizcd.
AS | write our troops are swarming
up the hill and covering it like ants.
The Spaniards are demoralized. The
fighting has been Of the hardest kind,
and our troops have suffered severely,
but the enemy's works arc in their
hands, and they do not count the cost.
FL Gauey is also ours. The general
advance which began at 3 o'clock this
afternoon has been successful all along
the line.
Spaniards Fled Into the City.
After driving the enemy out of FL
Gauey the troops took possession of the
village and destroyed the Spanish forts
by which it had been defended. The
Spainards fled into the city of Santa
go, where they now are. The losses
on both sides were heavy. A bursting
Spanish shell almost annihilated an
entire company of our troops.

How the War Department Regards Gen
eral Skaters Dispatch.

eral Skaters Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The desperate
character of the fighting is now fully
known to the War department. Later
reports, official and direct from the
field, indicate that Skaters estimate
was too low. General Shafter had not,
up to IL o'clock this morning, placed
any exact figure on his loss, but he
made 1t clear that his first estimate at
400 was much short of the actual loss.
The press dispatch from the field, Civ.
ing the casualties at about 1000 is in
line with General Skaters later init.
nation, although, as stated, he has nc
figure. A dense growth of chapparal
in which the American troops fought
made it we'll nigh impossible at first
to learn the extent of the loss.
The military authorities were alert
early in the day, despite the fact that
they had been up we'll through the
night in anxious waiting for the latest
reports. Secretary Alger and the adj
%jutant general of the army, General
Corbin held a conference as Don as the
secretary arrived.
Then Surgeon General Sternberg
IA sent for and joined in the confer
ence. 1t is understood the surgeon
general will send a large force of med
zeal officers, some forty or fifty, in ad'
dition to those already with General
Skaters men. All suitable appliances
will be provided. Neither the secre'
tary o the adjutant grneral would
add anything to the information given
out at midnight.
General Miles and his staff were TO-
gether in the generals Office early in
the day. Spread on the generals desl
was a map showing in minutest de
tails every roadway, trail and eleva
ton about Santiago. The genera,
traced the line Of operations and the
probable line of action now in prog
ress. He had received nothing add
tional from the field. He spoke gravely
Of the fierccness Of the fighting. From
a strategic point of view, Lawton's
taking of Caney gave an elevation or
the right wing, serving the double
purpose of diverting the enemy from
the left and opening a way to our lef1
wing and also of giving our troops
more commanding sweep of the en-
emy's northern defenses. Incident
ally, it accomplished the importan
purpose Of preventing Pando's coming
down with reinforcements from tn,
north and turning our right flank.

The Williams News has been mum in regard to the time when the construction of the Santa Fe & Grand Canyon railroad and the smelter at that place would be commenced, but it was not lack of enterprise on the part of that paper. The promoters of the enterprises would not give them any information. So when c. Nick Stark read the special to The Republi- can giving full details as to the com pany's plans, he had reason to be sur prised. MT. Stark said that he was in possession of the facts as they were given in the special dispatch to this paper. and he thought he was the only newspaper man who had been taken into the confidence of the company's officers.

Washington, March 2.-In Secretary Longs mail today was an envelope containing tweny-four 2-cent postage stamps and this letter from Dan Wal lingford, years old, or 442 North Penn street, Indianapolis:
 ''I have been wanting to do some thing for my country. I think now is the time, so I send you all the pennies I have to help build new ship"
 There was another note in the en- velope from Dams mother. She said the boy was great reader of American history and patriotic literature, and had written the letter and sent the stamps entirely without suggestion from any other person. The stamps were purchased with money from his savings bank, and represented all it contained. An appropriate letter of thanks will be sent to the young pa triot. Tie navy department does not know what to do with the stamps Officials of Secreary Longs office say that they think the next battleship could appropriately be named the Dan Wallingford," but the law pro- vides that all battleships shall be called after the states of the Union Perhaps the very smallest torpedo boat which congress will authorize this year may be named in his honor

OFFICIAL CHANGES.
Thomas D. Bennett the Assistant
 United States Attorney.

Thomas D. Bennett has been selected by United States Attorney Robert E. Morrison to succeed Alfred Franklin as assistant United States attorney. MT. Franklin's resignation will be for warded to the attorney-generalO of the United States to take effect on March 31. The resignation of G. P. Little as clerk of the office was sent to the department by telegraph yesterday. He will be succeeded by J. E. Nor rison, brother of the United States at torney Both of these officers were in c1uded in the civil service list by MT. Cleveland's last sweeping order, but neither of the incumbents proposed to avail himself of the circumstance. MT. Frapl1lin said yesterday that he be- Ieved that federal offices should be distributed among members of the 2party in power and as he was not a Umember of that party he felt politically disqualified to serve any longer.
 MT. Morrison left last night for Prescott, where the office is now To- cated. There is really nothing in the way of furniture belonging to it, so it's removal is a very simple matter. While MT. Morrison was preparing yesterday afternoon to go away, his predecessor, MT. Ellinwood, came in. A bystander asked MT. Morrison when the removal would take place. Hes going to take the office away tonight, but he will leave this room here. He's been un- able to get the permission of the beard of supervisors to take it with him.
 Mir Morrison will return to Phoenix about March IA and he and MT. Frank lin will go to Tucson to try the federal cases there.
 The selection Of Mir. Bennett gives general satisfaction for several reasons. the most prominent of which is his marked capability. He has been resident of the territory since 1883, when he came to Yavapai county. He was graduated from the law school of the Kansas state university at Law renee four years ago. Since then he has been engaged in practice with c. F. Ainsworth and has taken part in some of the most important litigation in the courts of the territory. He has also taken foremost part in To, al 2 politics and was the first president of the Young Mems Republican club of this city.
