Before Santiago. July Z, per the Asso-
ciated Press Dispatch Boat Dauntless, via
Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica,
OF the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to
fight to the death was the belief which
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans would
be put to the sword. II is known that
after the fall of FL Caney on July the
Spanish soldiers who escaped along the
foothills marched directly into General
Garcia's men, posted to the north of San
t'ago. lney fought desperately, but We're
shown no mercy by the Cubans, and We're
machcted to the last man. General Del
crime, who was in command, was brutally
mutilated. The knowledge of this massi-
ere found its Way into Santiago and
prompted the Spanish resolution to die
rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender Of some of the
wounded Spanish officers and men has dis
PEELED the dclusion and is helping to in
duce General 1orai to consider the prop
o>ition to capitulate. After the fall Of

it has been decided to forbid the Cubans

Siboney, July 10, via Playa del Este,
July ll.-General Shafter held confer
ence with the American generals at the
front today concerning the offer made by
the Spanish commander to surrender San
tiago If the Spanish garrison was allowed
to march, out with sidearrns and have 90
miles start without molestatiOn. General
Toral agreed If this was accepted he
would not destroy the ships in the har-
Dor, the ammunition in the forts or build
ings in the city. The majority of the
generals, General Wheeler leading, were
in favor of acceptance of these terms, on
the ground that the Spaniards can march
out to the westward anyhow, .sad burn
the city and destroy all vessels, guns and
ammunition before leaving.

day she was completed. says the New
York Tribune. 1t Is said the greatest
care was taken In her construction. as
the naval board was rather suspicious
Of the way previous contractors had
filed the orders Of the government
and for that reason the Maine became
the pride OF the navy. Little mishaps
took place from time to time that made
the sailors say she was "unlucky." and
in August. 1896. when she fouled her
anchor In Key West and bent the
plates Of her port keel. everybody
wondered how II could have happened.

were wounded while at target practice
by the explosion OF one-pound shell

into an East River pier and cut in two

F.. Women billiard players are just now
astonishing London and its suburbs
with public exhibitions. American
women, where facilities offered, have
long played the game in private, but
the cue In feminine hands is something
new In England and the fad is being
profftably worked by Miss Grace Fair
weather, the present LADY champion"
Miss Ella Collins and Charles Roberts.
brother to the male English billiard
champion, and the originator Of the
scheme. The players we're billed as
"The Lady Billiard Champion Team
from the Egyptian Hail. Piccadilly."
The women charged lump sum, vary
ing from 3 to guineas, for their SER
vices. Mine host Of the Blue Dragon"
or the white Lion,s or wherever the
contest was held, charged his own fees
for admission to the billiard-room,
usually 2 shillings or half-a-crown.
And the public paid such sums willing
ly. Therefore the new fad caught on
and increased in popularity week by
week. Other women, attracted by the
vision of limited guineas coupled with
unlimited fame. entered the arena.
But in spite of increased competition
Miss Fairweather easily holds her own.
She is the daughter of Newcastle ho-
telkeeper. and commenced playing-in
he. fathers biliiard-rooms, of course
soon after she had attained the mature
age of 13. A couple Of years later she
could play what is known as a pretty
decent game" That is to say, she
made breaks of eight, ten. fifteen and
even twenty on occasion. Then, one
day, along came John Roberts and
played an exhibition match. 1t was a
revelation to little Miss Fairweather
The easy style of the players and the
regularity of the strokes were revela-
tions to her. Roberts noticed the dill
ated eyes and surprise of the girl. AS
result an invitation to proceed to
London and study under the cham
pion's tuition was given and accepted,
and In due course Miss Fairweather
blossomed forth as the champion
woman billiard player of England.
She practices between three and four
hours day, plays with 15h ounce
cue and has made a I6 all-round break
and an 80 at nursery" cannops Not
a very remarkable record. Many an
unknown marker, alternating on 10
shillings a week and what h. can
make" can claim a better But then
Miss Fairweather is a woman and a
