OHI0ANS FOR SANTIAGO.
The Eighth Ohio, With Others of Gar
retson's Men, Leave Camp Alger
For the Front.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--The Second
brigade, first division of the Second
army corps, broke camp at Camp Alger
yesterday afternoon and started on their
journey to Santiago to reinforce Cen
eral Shafter's army. The Second bri-
gade is composed of the Eighth Ohio,
Sixth Illinois and Sixth Massachusetts,,
General Garretson commanding.
The Ohio regiment goes to New
York, where it will embark ON the st.
Paul, while the Illinois troops 90 to
Charleston, S. O., and, with the Massa-
chusetts men, will be transported upon
the Harvard and Yale. All superAous
baggage WAS left behind and everything
that could be spared was discarded, it
being the desire to move the regiments
with all poss BILE haste.
Only six horses were allowed to a
regiment, al other animals belon ging
to the brigade being retained here,
whence the will be shipped as soon as
possible to Tampa under charge of a
commission officer, and from there
they will be sent later to Santiago. The
brigade is in fine condition and the men
left enthusiastic and eager to reach the
seat of war before the end of the Santi-
ago campaign. 1t is expected to have
the troops OF Santiago Sunday.

IN the city, aud they requested cessa-
ton of hostihties in order to enable
them to be removed outside Santiago
and to be placed ander the protection of
the United States. This was definitely
refused by the Amer can commander,
who declined to accept any such re-
sponsibiity.
The consuls were told that it rested
with them to insist upon General Lin
ares surrender. This conference was
resumed at o'clock this morning,
when the consuls expressed grave
doubts as to General nnares' surrender,
ON account of the false kilograms in re-
gard to Spanish victories and yellow
fever among the American troops sent
daily to Madrid, which caused the Span
iards to think they dare not surrender
and return to Spain.

ENCOURAGING RETURNS.
Buns Review Speaks of the Favorable
Closing of the Second Quarter
of the Year.

New YORK, July ar. G. Dun g.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today, says in part: The secoad quar-
ter of the year closed with most encour-
aging returns. Failures have been a
little larger than in the first quarter Of
the year, whereas a decrease of G.2 per
cent might have been expected from ex-
perience of tie past ten years, but with
that allowance difference of only $3,-
500, 900 can be charged to war and fears
of war, whereas solvent payments
through clearinghouse for the quarter
were over $l5, 100000.
The exports of wheat continue ex-
traordinary. The market has been a
little weaker, which is natural with
abundant evidence of the enormous
yield Notwithstanding all reports of in
jury, but cash wheat has advanced to
50 cents. Corn has declined fraction,
although the demand for export is still
beyond all precedent.
The demand for wool has been almost
wholly confined to needs for orders in
hand, and yet there is good reason to
look for better demand for goods as
soon as the season opened, while with
BONOIhulShJ CoubIuCIs nOf6 Lndu tQe
usual proportion of machinery is en-
ployed, even at this dull season. Sales
of wool have been only Boil 200 N lnds
for the week at the three chief nlNkeUs,
and for the month I0,1g3, 300 pounds,
against l,l97, 900 a year ago and 29,-
695, 200 pounds in 1892.
The iron industry shows some de-
cline in prices in Bessemer pig at Pitts
burg to SlO.25, and in grey forge to 80
with only $ll here and Sll 20 at Phila-
delphia for No. | anthracite, while
shipments during the week have been
made from Birmingham TO Hamburg,
Rotterdam, Great Britain, Australia
and Japan, though in the aggregate not
large. But contracts for 1000 tons of
steel rails have been placed at Chicago,
and pending contract there for strucUu.
raj work are estimated at $4,000 tons.
In general it may be said that the
markets west of Philadelphia are re-
markably strong, with scarcely any in
dication of decline in the demand for
finished products.
Failures for the week have been 254
in the United States, against 24l last
year, and 10 III Canada, against 80 last
year.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 4, via
Port Antonio, Jamaica, July o, per the
dispatch beat Cynthia III, via Kingston,

held consultation with his officers be.
fore sailing out of the harbor Of San
tiago de Cuba, and by small majority
the move was agreed upon.
Early on the morning of the sortie
careful observations were taken of the
sea, east and west. Admiral Cervera
decided upon taking the westward
course, with Manzanillo, Cienfuegos or,
if possible, Havana the port to be
reached. He would have gone east but
for the sighting of q large transport
fleet off Siboney and the assurance that
a convoy of war vessels was still with
the transports.
AS a matter of fact, there is no war
vessel larger than converted yacht,
except the New York, that could have
obstructed Admiral Cervera's escape
eastward,
Naval men here are sure that the
Spanish vessels could have disabled or
sunk the New York and escaped had
the eastward course been chosen.
1t was feared for time by many that
swan ashore from the Vizcaya, Amir
ante Oquendo and the Maria Teresa
were killed by the insurgents, who
beach. This could not be verified at
this writing.

After a chase of 60 miles to the west
ward, the Brooklyn, closely followed by
the Oregon, overhauled the Cristobal
Colon after she had ran ashore and
hauled down her flag Captain Cook
of the Brooklyn went on board of her
and the commander of the Spanish
armored cruiser came forward to sur
sender and was taken ON board the
New York, which came up an hour
after the Brooklyn and Oregon had
completed the capture of the Cristobal
Colon. The latter was not seriously
damaged, though she was struck sew
eral times by shots from the Brooklyn
aad Oregon.
During the chase clever manoeuvre

impossible.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Cristobal Colon and perhaps, the other
three Spanish armored cruisers would
have escaped had it not been for the
prompt action of Commodore Schley.
The Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was
in "a position to attack the Spanish yes
sells as they left the harbor, and the
commodore steamed directly toward
them and engaged all four cruisers, in
tiicting great damage upon them.
The Oregon was the tirst to join the
Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa, In

the Spaniards, all pouring in q deadly
fire, but from the beginning to the end
of the fight the Brooklyn, Oregon and
Gloucester took the most important part

GREAT LOSS OF OFFICERS. .

Bravely Leading Their Men.

Picked or by Sharpshooters While
BraveIy Leading Their Men.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Considerable
comment has been caused among the
officials of the war department by the
great loss of American officers in the
two days of fighting at Santiago. Off
cial reports thus far received indicate
that IS American officers were either
killed or wounded, and the list is only
partial.
The heavy loss of officers is due to
the dash and bravery of the officers
themselves. Instance after instance
has been disclosed of officers springing
in front of their commands and leading
them in brilliant sOrties against the
enemy. Quite naturally the Spanish
sharpshOOters singled out the officers as
targets and the result was that the
American forces suffered particularly
heavy in this respect.
While none of the general officers
have been wounded no less than five of
them are i'll and, were they at home,
would be in bed General Shafter him
self is suffering from severe indisposi-
ton. His condition, according to last
reports, was somewhat improved, but it
is notable that he directed the first
days fight from cot ON which he was
lying.
General Joe Wheeler, in command of
the cavalry division, was very seriously
i'll, but when the battle began insisted
against the protests of his surgeon that
he be taken to the front. He went in
an ambulance, but when he arrived ON
the field he mounted his horse and per-
sonally directed the operations of his
men.
General Young, General Hawkins
and Acting Brigadier General Wood Of
of the rough riders are all i'll, but it is
understood that their condition is not

LONDON, July 6.--The dispatches tell

vera's feet, including the official ac-
counts of the battle. have been tele-
graphed to Madrid, and the dispatch
received from Madrid for transmission
to the United States, giving the Span
ish version of the sortie, shows that the
Spanish censor has suppressed the dis
patches sent there, or that they are re.
garded by the Spaniards as being in
credible.
MADRID, July 6.--Almost indescrib-
able enthusiasm continues to prevail
here over the supposed escape of Adj
miral Cervera and his squadron from
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. The
admiral's name is on every tongue and
1t is claimed that it was he who saved
Santiago de Cuba by adding to Cen
eral Linares handful of soldiers his
brave sailors to man the guns ashore
and repel the Americans under General
Shafter."
Such is about the exultant eulogy of
Admiral Ceryera heard on all sides, this
state OF puollc feeling being due to Off
cial announcements from Santiago
claiming Cervera had escaped.

ABOUT a1,7OO VICTIMS.

Fighting Before santH go--Per-
centage of Loss Very Heavy
BEFORE SANTIAGO, July 8, per dis
patch boat Dandy to Port Anteuio, Ja-
maica. July Q, via Kingston, July g.
The fighting during the last two days
has cost the American army about l,700
men. This estimate is made by the sur
geons at division headquarters after
careful figuring by the surgeons at the
hospitals.
The list of wounded. as made up at
the division headquarters, is very large
I'm proportion to those killed outright.
Probably less than 100 all told of the
number of wounded have died, making
the total number of deaths in the neigh
borhood of 100. The remainder Of the
wounded will probably recover.
Considering the fact that not over
$4,000 men were engaged on our side,
and that now all Of those were actually
under fire, the percentage Of the loss is
very heavy. The slaughter was brought
about mainly by the gallantry with
which our troops advanced into the
open ground in the face of q heavy fire
from the Spanish entrenchments and
rifle pits.
