that the bombardment of Santiago had

however, up to the time the department
closed, and though there is little reason
TO doubt that the general carried out
the programme Of which he had mott

as possible that he had consented to a
further extension under the flag of

/ 10 wounded men in the hospitals here
I who are being treated for serious am
putations or bone fractures. In the
! hospitals at the front there are no
wounded soldiers The serious cases
and all the rest of the wounded are on

it is probable the Eighth Ohio men

A coal laden schooner, the Stevens,

General Shafter held a conference
with the American generals at the
front today concerning the offer made
by the Spanish commander, General
Toral, to surrender Santiago, If the

General Toral agreed that if this was
accepted he would not destroy the
ships in the harbor, the ammunition in
the forts or the buildings in the city.
The majority of the generals, General
Wheeler leading, are in favor OF the
acceptance of these terms, on the
ground that the Spaniards can march
out to the westward anyhow, and
nd 10
guns and ammunition before leaving
SHAFTER URGED ACCEPTANCE.
1t is rumored here that General
Shafter strongly advised the accept
ance of General ToTai's offer to sur
render if allowed to leave with the
troops wearing their side arms, and
the American commander is said TO
have sent a long dispatch to President
Mckinley, making arguments in favor
of the acceptance of the Spaniards' Of
fer.
General Shafter is said to have urged
the Importance of gaining immediate
possession of Santiago harbor and city,
so as to leave our fleet and army free
TO undertake other work. According
to a report, General Shafter said the
acceptance of General Toral's offer
would save the lives of our soldiers
and enable us to begin the relief of
the starving Cubans Immediately. The
advantage to the Spaniards, General
Shafter is also said to have pointed out,
will not be large. President McKin-
ley'S response was as laconic as was
General Grants upon a similar occa-
sion.
Food and water are very scarce in
Santiago. One biscuit was recently sold
for So in gold.

! Washington, July 1.-THE record of
! the most remarkable year in our export
trade was completed today by the bu-
reau of statistics. so far as relates to
the expectation of wheat, corn and
other breadstuffs, pork, beef and other
provisions, cotton and mineral outputs.
! These articles form a large percentage
of the total exports, aside from man
features. The figures show in most
cases a large increase in quantity and
value of the articles exported, though
in some cases. notably mineral oils and
cotton, the export price per unit has
averaged less this year than in the
preceding year.
The cotton exported during the year
increased from 3,103 574 .949 pounds to
8, 341, 332 500 pounds, while the total
value last year was $2S0, $50, 81, and
that for the year just ended, 1929, 907 Az
The expectation of mineral oil in
creased from 3,574,946 gallons to l.,

ELEVEN LIVES SNUFFED OUT
GAS EXPLOSION IN THE CLEVE
LAND TUNNEL.
Every Man Was Killed and All Eff
forts to Recover the Bodies Have
Been Unsuccessful.

Cleveland, Ohio. July 1.-THE lives
of eleven men were snujfed out in the
twinkling of an eye this evening in the
big waterworks tunnel that is being
constructed under the bottom of Lake
Erie, as a result of an explosion of gas.
Following are the names of those who
were killed: John Parks, foreman;
James Parks, brother of John; John
Fradey, Tony Brunette, John ----
Qtalian), Emerson Smith, John McCau-
lev, William Tucker (Colored, Gus
Waltz, Frank Clements, Frank Har-
vey.
The tunnel is an immense affair, be-
ing projected to extend outward from
the shore for a distance of four and a
half miles, and it has been under con-
struction for more than a year. The
work has been attended with great diff
ficulty. About five weeks ago there
was an explosion of gas in the shore
end of the big hole which killed eight
men and injured a number of others.
The explosion today occurred a few
minutes before o'clock, but nobody
will be able to tell what the cause was
or how it happened. for every witness
is dead, and the bodies of all are lying
where they fell, 5000 feet out under the
1dhC. LIS OIlIS llC1 III the lIllAlCl WIN
escaped death is Con O'DOnnell, a
lock-tender, who was stationed $500
feet from the shore. He heard the eX-
plosion, or series of explosions. He
says there were ten of the shocks and
the conclusion was something terri
BILE, fer it threw him off his feet, and
for hours he was in such a daZed con-
dition that he could scarcely remember
what had happened. He finally CROPPED
his way out and told what had oc-
Cured.
Two men, Patrick Vonseer and Mar
tin McCauley, were the first to venture
in the tunnel after the accident oc-
CURED. They made their way to lock
$500 feet from the shore, but were there
overcome by the gas and fell to the
floor. When they failed to return a
young man named James Clements,
son of one of the men who was killed,
and who was employed as mule driv-
er. went to their rescue. He found
them unconscious, lying over a mule
cart, and succeeded in helping them
to the we'll at the shore end of the
tunnel. The Would-be rescuers said
that all the lights were out beyond the
5000 foot lock and that they could not
go any farther
A second rescuing party was made up
of Patrick Gaytons, Mike McCauiy,
Dan Rogers, Barney Hughes and Ed
Corbett 1t failed utterly in accom-
plishing anything, as the tunnel was
filed with foul gas and smoke.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN IDAHO
DEMOCRATS AND SILVER RE-
PUBLICANS WILL UNITE.
Populist and Republican Parties
Will Each Put Up Straight
Ticket-No Republican-Populist
Com bination.

Blackfoot, Ida, July 1.-THE Popu-
ton for Aug. s. The Republicans have
called their state convention for Aug.
II. The silver Republicans and Demo-
Gratis have called their respective con-
ventions for Aug. "a. The silver Repub-
{ licans and Democrats not only meet
at the same time and place, but their
calls appear side by side. and in the
same language, each advocating CO.
operation of the silver forces. In ad-
dition to this there is the utmost har-
mony between the two parties. 1t is
safe to say that the Populists will
stand alone with a straight Populist
ticket. The Republicans will stand
alone with a straight Republican tick
ct. The Democrats and silver Repub-
licans will form a close and harmoni-
Gus union, which ii is contemplated
will be permanent. There is no pros
pect of the Populists joining the Demo-
cratic-silver Republican combination.
The leading Populists are opposed to
it. and the leaders of the Democrats,
except National Committeeman Ain
size, do not want the Populists. Elk
Senator Dubois and eX-Congressman
Sweet have strenuously urged a union
of Populists, Democrats and silver Re-
publicans, but they stand almost alone
among the leaders of their party.
All hopes of the Republicans and the
Populists forming a combination have
been abandoned. The atmosphere has
become so clear politically that the va
rious combinations for individual can
didates are being worked on the ac-
cepted fact that the Populists will go
it alone, Republicans will do likewise,
and the Democrats and Silver-Repub-
licans will unite.

LANDING REINFoRCEMENTs.
Five Thousand Men Were Put
Ashore Sunday.


Copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press.)
Juragua, July 10.-The shores of this
little cove were the busiest places in
Cuba this afternoon. Five thousand
men were either disembarking from
steamers or preparing TO take up the
march to General Skaters fheadquar-
terS near Santiago There was as
much confusion as IL ten cir" uses
were preparing to make camp. fhe
officers were looking for horses and
mules, trying to keep their men to-
gether, sending sick men to the hos
pital and attending to rationS and bag
gage. The engineers built a rough
wharf of timber to be used in landing.
The First Illinois, numbering 1880
men, arrived here yesterday and began
disembarking last night, and will prob
ably be the first of General Skaters
reinforcements to reach him. About
$50 recruits for the regular army in the
field are under way to the front.
The District of Columbia infantry,
consisting of 915 men, arrived here this
morning on the Catania and began
landing at once. The auxiliary cruiser
st. Paul has also arrived here with
the Eighth Ohio infantry, 1850 men.
The steamer is anchored quite dis
tance from the shore, which necessi-
tates q long pull in the boats to get
here is necessarily made in small
boats, carrying 10 to 20 men each. The
boats run through a light surf, and
the landing is as safe as a wharf, al
though the men get wet. 1t takes a
long time to unload regimental stores,
horses and mules. which are run ashore
on lighters. The artillery will be
landed when the wharf is extended.
Six batteries of light artillery and
siege guns, if fully manned, will re-
quire more than 1000 men and as many
animals.
When the Dandy left Juragua it, was
expected that the whole expedition
would be soon strung along the ten
miles between the landing place and
the front of the infantry, going in
light order. with three days rations
and rain coats. AT 5 o'clock a heavy
rain was falling, and threatened to
make the road disagreeable for the in
fantry and very bad for the artillery.
The Cuban auXiliaries, with rifles and
machetes, were out in large force, get
ting rations. They seem to have re-
covered from their state of semi-starv-
alton and are getting fat.
In spite of the doctors orders, our
soldiers, on landing. eat mangroves
and other pulpy fruits. Cocoanuts We're
very abundant, and the soldiers
Toasted on them. During the afternoon
the hospital ship Solace arrived here,
and all the sick who were able to be
moved were taken from the tent hos
pital and placed on board her. The
sight of the wounded men had a de-
pressing effect on the volunteers.
