Tunas is connected by rail with
Sancti SpirituS, town of considerable
size and reinforcements and artillery
had been rapidly coming in. Range
buoys had been placed in the bay, but
avoiding these the ships drew into close
range and opened fire. The Spaniards
had several Krupp field pieces of three
and four inches, mounted on earth
works along the water front, and they
began a vigorous, but ill-directed reply,
with shell and shrapnel. The fire Of
our ships was most accurate and de-
structive. The Spanish gunners fired
but fifteen or twenty shots before their
guns were flying in the air, their earth
works a mass of bloodstained dust, and
their gunners running for their lives.
Both the Peoria and the Helena were
struck several times, but no one on
either ship was injured. AS they with
drew several buildings on shore were IN
flames.
That afternoon both ships again turn
ed their attention to the fort and the
intrenchments at the mouth of the Tai
labbacoa River, and for half an hour
poured a wicked fire upon them. The
Spaniards had been largely reinforced
during the day, and some field pieces
had been mounted near the fort These
replied TO the American fire, but with
out effect, and the shells Of the two
ships speedily silenced them.
That night the Spaniards burned a
large wharf and the adjacent buildings,
evidently expecting a landing in force

silently away. There was not a Span

obstacle.
Gomez, with 1900 men, was known to
be in the vicinity, and scouts hurried
to his lines. On Monday July 4th, the
grizzled old warrior appeared in person
at Palo Alto. An awning was spread
over the end of an abandoned wharf,
and conference was held.

he thought would exercise an important

Spanish fleet was destroyed, which has
been the real object of the campaign
it seemed to be the general disposition
to allow General Toral to evacuate San
tiago. This would give us military
and naval base, permit the starving
refugees to return to their homes and
would allow the immediate 1barkatlon

PRESIDENT RECEIVES 1T.
Discusses the Agreement and Terms
to be Arranged.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE official
announcement of the agreement of Gen
eral Toral was received about 2:30
o'clock in the brief dispatch from Cen
eral Shafter. The President was the
first to be made acquainted with the
action of the Spanish General, the dis
patch making the announcement being
sent direct to him. He was in private
apartments of the White House con-
versing with Mrs. Mckinley when the
operator handed him the dispatch.
He quickly read it aloud to Mrs. Nc
Kinley and then sent for Secretary Al
ger and Adjutant General Corbin.
Meantime an instant after it's receipt
by the President, the dispatch was sent
to the Associated Press and flashed to
every quarter of the world. Secretary
Alger and General Corbn remained
with the President scarcely a quarter of
an hour, discussing the agreement and
the terms to be arranged at the meeting

DAILY CONFLICTS.
Advices From Manila Claim That
Americans Dare Not Attack.

MADRID, July 14.-QO a. m.)-An
official dispatch from Manila, dated
July 9th, says the garrison of that
place and the Spanish outposts have
conflicts daily with the insurgents, who
are receiving numerous reinforcements.
The dispatch adds:
I'VE have inflicted great losses upon
them. The Americans dare not attack
Manila, fearing to find themselves con-
fronted by the rebels and unable to
withstand them. They also fear that
if Aguinaldos forces attack the town,
the populace will join them

been killed, and In round numbers
1900 more have been sent to the hos
pitfalls from wounds, fevers and other
ailments. Our fleet had a remarkable
exemption from disaster in the many
engagements it had with the forts at
the Spanish squadron.
Next is Porto Rico" said Secretary
Alger after receiving news of Santi-
ago's formal surrender, land then, if
need be, Havana"
The Secretary was in excellent spir-
it's. He had been more anxious than
he dared to show as to the condition
of our sick soldiers, and looked with
a prolongation of the struggle in the
unhealthy valley of Santiago. The
Secretary stated that the Porto Rican
expedition would go forward immedi-
ately. 1t will comprise new men en-
tirely. The warriors in the trenches
before Santiago have distinguished
themselves, and it is not deemed pru-
dent to bring them in unnecessary con-
tact with new troops, in view Of the
danger Of spreading contagion. The
sick soldiers will be nursed back to
health and brought to the United
States as soon as they can be safely
removed.
Immune regiments will be ordered to
Santiago to garrison the town, and as
stated in these dispatches yesterday,
two of these regiments are already I'M
der orders to proceed,
The Porto Rican expedition will be
commanded by General Miles in per-
son. though General Brooke, now in
command at Camp Thomas, is ex-
pected to be his dependence. The size
of the expedition will depend upon Cen
eral Miles wishes. although 1T is be-
lieved that $4,000 men will be sufficient
for the purpose.
At San Juan the navy Will be Of
greater assistance than it was at Santi-
ago, owing to the possibility OF ap-
preaching the town more closely with
out risking contact with mines. Gen
eral Brooke is now on his way TO
Washington, by direction of Secretary
Alger so that he will be in position
to make his views direct to the de-
partment The experience gained IN
dispatching Skaters expedition, it is
expected will aid the officials in their
determination to make short work Of
the Porto Rican affair.
There will be plenty of transports
available for the expedition, as the
Government has devised other means
of removing the Spaniards captured at
Santiago to Spain than by carrying
them on those transports. That the
navy is ready to do it's share at short
notice goes without saying. Porto
Rico is not expected to offer a very
formidable resistance. 1t is believed
that the moral effect of to-day's sur
render at Santiago will be to discour-
age the defenders of San Juan. There
is, however, always the prospect that
peace may ensue before hostilities have
progressed against SPANS easternmost
West Indian island. Rumors were
afloat this afternoon to the effect that
the Spanish Government at last had

OF all the absurd guesses that have been

strikes us as being the most ridiculous.

Cincinnati club, Washington scribe, no
doubt for the purpose of jollytng along

Taylor aud Cross had been secured by Gin
cipnati only for the purpose of trading
them to Washington for Mercer, Mcclure

Cross are the property Of the Cincinnati
club they will not be parted with for that

Divorce for One Cause.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The alarming increase Of divorces in this
country, and Of its racing mate impurity,
Will be checked, no doubt, by such i'm
provements in divorce procedure as have
recently been suggested in your columns,
and yet more if the clergy of all denomi-
nations will adopt even the present doc
trine of the Episcopal church that the only
divorce entitled to remarriage is the inno-
cent party in an adultery case. But better
state and national laws are also needed in
the opinion of all divorce experts, and his
tory confirms the wisdom of the law of
Christ, which allows no remarriage except
in cases of adultery-in the opirion of
some, not even for that. The New York
law, considered by divorce reformers our
best state law, allows remarriage only to
the innocent party In divorce cases c'legai
separation being allowed for other causes).
This New York law is in substance repro
dLced by the pending law of Congress the
Ray bill, called by Mr.. Gilman the Crafts
bill" If 1t be given any other name than
the New NSSk law" or the Ray bill'' 1t
should be the S6Eist bill
o, Two popular 9ui efregs appear in the criti-

are very much troubled lest some one who
has married in haste should have to ''re-
pent at leisure" But the more serious ar
gument Is that those not allowed to re-
marry will not only be unhappy" but
"immeral." This sophistry is responsible
for the very divorce laws we have by which
divorce and immortality have both been en-
couraged and increased. Doing one wrong
to prevent another is always a failure In
Canada, where divorce is made very diff
cult, there are only eight divorces a year
for five millions OF people. and Canada is
at the same time the most moral of all
ccmmonwealths in the world. The daily

ritories yet more, and the whole nation
