HIS BODY TO BE MUMMIFIED.
The Peculiar Request of an Aged and
Wealthy New York
Tailor.

Edwin P. Kelly, who has just died at
Merchantville, n. Y, aged "A, left
will containing somewhat peculiar
bequest. The testator, who was at one
time fashionable tailor, bequeaths
his remains to DIR. Thomas H. Andrews,
the chief police surgeon of Merchant
vile, for the purpose of having it num-
mified and presented to the University
of Pennsylvania as a donation to
science. Mr.. Kelly's estate is valued
at about 100000, the bulk of which is
left to nieces and nephews. His wife
died about year ago. DR.. Andrews,
when informed of the strange bequest
which the will contained, said:
"Mr. Kelly was man of peculiar
ideas. He lived according to a rigid
system of diet, contending that by
eating so many ounces of certain foods
and drinking SO many ounces of liquid
life could be prolonged and everybody
could live to be 100 years of age. Just
as he discovered what he considered
the secret of prolonging his life he
died. Mr.. Kelly said that If his body
was preserved it would assist the cause
of science.
"Mr. Kelly called here daily to be
weighed and the last time he was here
he tipped the beam at 72 pounds. He
was especially proud of his hair, which
hung down over his shoulders in pro-
fusion of whiteness. He made clothing
for many old and well-known Philadel-
phians. and his place of business was
once meeting place for many men of

Lion of Chaeronea.

Greece is about.to set up again the
Lion of Chaeronea, erected as monu-
ment to the Thebans who fell in the
fight against King Philip of Macedon.
The lion had been kept intact in place
till the war of liberation against the
Turks in this century, when it was
broken into pieces by the Greeks. The
pedestal containing the bones of the
fallen heroes was discovered again 20
years ago. Now, says the New York
Sun, the pieces of the lion will be put
together by the Archaeological So
ciety and set up once more on the
pedestal.

THE ATTACK BEGUN.
SIMPSONS Fleet and Skaters Troops
lombard the City of Santiago.
The City Is Completely Invested and For
the Beleaguered Garrison There Is No
Possibility of Escape = Skaters
Forces Greatly Augmented.

WASHINGTON, July IL. Shot and
shell from ships and siege guns are re-
ported to be screaming over the DOOM
ed city OF Santiago.
The bombardment will not cease un-
til Santiago has fallen. Gen. Corbin
said Sunday night that the firing, once
having begun, it would stop only with
the capitulation of the city. The
town, it is now said at the war
department, is completely invested,
and for the beleagucred garrison there
is no possibility of escape. This does
not mean that the Spanish soldiery
must stand still within the walls and
be shot down like sheep. 1t is not i'm
possible that, like the brave and rack
less Cervera. they may be lead out to
attack the American forces on the
surrounding hills. This would be
forlorn hope, but it would offcrs
chance of striking the American line
in weak spot, breaking II and turn
ing back one of the fianlSs 1t would
mean destruction in the end for the
Spaniards, of course, but it would give
them one last grand dash with the
glory of dying in hand-to-hand con-
fict.
The bombardment began about 9
o'clock. Earlier in the afternoon
dispatch was received froEa Gen. Shat
ter saying that Col. Toral had de-
ciined the terms OF nnconditional
surrender. and that the sbcmbardmen'
would begin as soon alter O'Clock
as posi- bic. At IL n'eioci Sunday
night nothing further had been re-
ceived at the war department, and the

erations was intense. Toral is second
in command of the Spanish troops,
and 1t is presumed he replied to
Skaters demand because Gen. Linares
was so seriously wounded as to be in
incapable of duty.
Gen. Shafter, the war department
says, has in place 40 S.1-inch guns and
eight finch mortars. With the rein
forcements that arrived Sunday he
must have nearly $4,000 men.
Ohio troops it is probable will have
the honor of being present at the fall
of the first fortified town in Cuba TO
be captured and perhaps of partici-
pating in the battle. A dispatch from
Gen. Shafter received early Sunday
afternoon that the St Paul
arrived at or near Baiquiri
Sunday afternoon. This is about IS
miles from Siboney, and three miles
from the American front On the st.
Paul was the Sth Ohio volunteers,
called here in Washington THE
Presidents own" because it was
recruited largely from the northeast
ern part of the state, and has

secretary of the republican national
committee, and the presidents close
friend 1t would take some hours
for the men to reach the front
from their landing place, but it
is believed at the war de-
partmcnt Sunday night that Col. Dick
and his soldiers are now with Shat
ter's forces, perhaps participating in
the battle, or at least ready to aid in
the investment of the city when it falls.
Preparations for the Porto Rico
expedition are being fastened with
the utmost speed. Not the least
OF the reasons for this is the
fact that an impression is grow
ing that peace is near at hand. II
the American forces capture Porte
Rico before peace is declared, the
permanent investment of the islands
will be greatly simplifed.

the American lines and was gratifed
at their condition. A second dispatch
reported that the lines were impregna-

tempted. Both kilograms, which en-
phasized the fact that Gen. Skaters
physical condition had greatly inn
proved, were promptly shown to the
president and occasioned him con-
siderable qualification. When ques-
toned as to whether he believed that
there had been a bombardment of the
city, Gen. Corbin replied: you know
as much about 1t as do. have kept
nothing back. 1 should say, however,
that the firing Sunday was but the
preliminary to the moro serious BUSH
ness of Monday" This being the case
the attempt to take the city will prob
ably be made Monday.

hostilities in case the Spanish gener-
ais do not surrender. The dynamite

San Juan, and it is predicted that its
charges consisting of 20 pounds of gun
cotton and gelatine will work havoc

FIRE.
Twelve mortars in one battery are
mounted and ready to use and they
are relied upon to do effective work in
Smelling the city. Three batteries of
artillery are now posted on Ell Paso
ridge, 2,4oo yards from the town, and
the Capron and Grimes batteries are
1900 yards to the north of the road in
the rear of Gen. Lawton's division. In
firing. the field guns will be compelled
to she'll the town over the heads of our
own men, but the artillery officers say
it can be done safely and without in
jury to our soldiers The dynamite
gun has been SO placed that it will be
able to enfilade several of the Spanish
lines.
On the other hand, during the truce,
which SO far as regards the continuing
/ of preparations for defense or attack
| has been no truce whatever, the Span
! iards have not been idle. They have
been mounting guns and some of these
are of much heavier caliber than any
] the American army can bring into
play. Some of their guns are of anti

much damage, but others are differ

THE CONSULAR REPORTS.
FuIly Corroborate Previous Statements of
Spain's Unspeakable Cruelty.


Washington, April 12.-In connection
with his message the president sent to
congress an expurgated report of the
correspondence between the state de-
partment and the consuls in Cuba. IT
contains about $4,000 words, dealing
largely with the distress and suffering
of the reconcentrados. 1t covers the
communications of Consul General Lee
at Havana Consul McGarr at Cienfue-
gos, Consul Brice at Matanzas, Consul
Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba and Consul
Barker at Sagua la Grande. 1t was
prepared in response to a resolution OF
inquiry adopted by both the house and
senate.
In preparing the correspondence for
transmission to congress confidential
and important communications were
omitted. Public welfare is the reason
given for not letting the people know
what American consus have found in
Cuba.
The conclusions to be drawn from the
reports are: First.-The death rate
among the reconcentrados in Havana is
q per cent. In the other towns it is
about so per cent. Second.-Four hun.
dred thousand self supporting people
were beggared by General Weyler's re-
concentrate order and 100000 have died
from starvation. For fear of charges
of exaggeration General Lee cut this
estimate down from a higher and prob
ably more correct number. Third
Spain spent II cents for the relief Of
each 10000 starving persons and then
stopped her relief work. Fourth.-Not
even the immediate intervention of the
United States can prevent the death of
thousands from starvation. 1t is too
late. Fifth.-Autonomy is a failure
Sixth.-Spain is helpless, and the island
is in a state of anarchy.
