Fears That the Bird Will he Flown
When Americans Enter the City
General Miles's Reports Indicate That
He Is Pleased With Progress Made by
the TrOOps-The Question of the Coal
Stored at st. Thomas.

Washington, July 12.-The impression
prevailed in official circles when public
business closed for the day that the flag
of truce set in the Spanish lines at San
tiago at 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon was
still flying and that negotiations contin-
ued looking to surrender. The basis of
these negotiations naturally could not be
very broad in view of the Injunction the
President laid upon Gen. Shafter to ac.
cept nothing less than unconditional sur
render, but it is supposed that time may
be consumed through the indulgence of
Gen. Shafter in allowing the Spanish
commander to communicate by cable
with Gen. Blanoo in the effort to obtain
his assent to the surrender.
Gen. Torai has undoubtedly before his
eyes the vindictive abuse heaped upon the
unfortunate naval commander, Csrvera,
probably be bound by the direction of
Blanco in his own case. It is not gen.
orally known that in response to the pa
thetic report by cable to Blanco announc-
ing the loss of his squadron Cervera re-
ceived most harsh and unsympathstic
reply, but such Is the case.
Blanco's purpose il this may have been
to dissuade other commanders, military
and naval, from surrendering under any
conditions, and in the case of Toral it
appears that he has made strong i'm
preston. Nevertheless confidence wakes
in the speedy fall of Santiago, though
many officers fear that the nest will he
found empty and the birds flown when
the American troops make their entry in
TO the town.
Still should this be the case it may be
fairly claimed that the prime object of
the movement on Santiago, namely. the
destruction of the Spanish squadron has
been accomplished, the campaign as d
whole has H. been successful. Gen. Miles
report today indicated that he had found
unexpected physical difficulties to contend
with and he is apparently greatly. pleased
with the progress made by the army un-
der the prevailing cond itions. He has not
assumed command as is evidenced by his
message.
The most important result of the cabi-
net deliberations today was the order to
remove the mines which guard all the
coast ports. Many military men were op
posed to yielding to the pressure of the
commercial interests and some of them
are predicting that not a few Of the COM
munities which have been SO earnest in
their demands for the removal sof the
mines will be frantically clamoring for
protection at the first rumor of the pres
ence of a hostile. gunboat or cruiser off

the town.
Yesterday afternoon the Capron and
Haines batteries on the right, succeeded
in tearing up the emplacements for a
"palm" battery as it is called, in plump
ing shells into the several bIockhouses
but the shots directed at the Spaniards in
the trenches did not appear to have much
effect. Shrapnel was rapidly broken
directly over the trenches, yet in five
minutes the trenches at every point of ex-
plosion would be alive with the enemy.
They would watch for the flash of our
guns and drop before the shells exploded.
Our mortar fire was dir cted at the

United States has availed of this coal,
once to supply the Minneapolis and once
the Montgomery, but as each was bound
for The nearest home port and took only
coal enough to carry her there it was
fairly assumed that there had been no
breach of neutrality. However, it appears
that there is. now disposition on the part
of the Danish government to prevent the
United States from using this coal and
as there is no question of their right to
lay down such rule the coal itself will
probably be let alone.
Fortunately there is no particular need
for it as there are other means for coaling

The incident is one which will be used
as strong argument for the establish

the Tale of Wheel.

George Adamson Gets Into Trouble over
the Tale of Wheel
A peculiar case of larceny has been
brought to light and George Adamson,
well Known young man, has unwit-
tingly thrown himself into bad con-
dition Of affairs. Some time ago a
man named Quigley left the city and
left his bicycle in the hands of Adam
son, who after waiting for awhile for
his return sold the wheel to Pitts &
De Berge for $16.
When Quigley returned about a
week ago he had AdamsOn arrested on
a charge eff larceny as bailee, and the
matter has not as yet come to trial.
Adamson realizes that he has made a
mistake in selling the wheel, and offers
to make financial amends without
having any criminal trouble over the
matter.
1t is evident that young Adamson
meant to do no wrong and sold the
wheel when he thought Quigley would
not return.

Murderous Manner.

Chris Hansen, who has way of
changing his place of abode about
every three weeks between Kenosha
and Racine is in trouble again and this
time he has been taken up for beating
his wife in Racine.
The trouble all arose over black
smith, who was visiting at the house
and who is said to live in Somers.
Hansen thought that his wife was Civ
ing entirely too much time to caring for
the blacksmith and jumped onto her
and pounded her until her best friends
could not recognize her.
Hansen was arrested late Wednesday
afternoon, but the condition of the
woman made it necessary to continue
the case until the doctors could make a
more definite statement of her injuries.

ROBBED IN A SALOON.
William Holderman is Relieved of His
Pocketbook While Asleep.


One of the most daring robberies
ever committed in Kenosha was com
mitted Wednesday night in a Main
street saloon. AS a result William
Holderman is $27 poorer than he was
Wednesday night.
The man who did the work is we'll
known, but he has eluded the officers
and gone to Chicago.
Holderman and a number of com
panions were ia the saloon in the early
part of the evening and Holderman
laid down in the back part of the room
and went to sleep. Shortly after the
man who is suspected of robbing him
started out of the place to purchase
some cigarettes and on his way he went
through the pockets OF the sleeping
man and relieved him Of all the cash
on hand. Afterward the men left the
saloon and proceeded to Brassville,
where they had jolly time. Holder
man did not discover his loss until this
morning and by that time the man
whom he accuses of robbing him had
left the city.
The police are investigating the
matter and have wired description of
the supposed culprit to Chicago.

" 1t is possible, however, that an act
of aggression is imminent and that not
the sanctity of our rights nor the mod

manifested, may serve to restrain the
passions and hatred let loose against

The above expressions taken sfrom

give the American people the ague.

annals of her rule in Cuba afford.
With proverbial Spanish "justice" the
struggling people of Cuba have been
made to wear the CALLING yoke of
Spanish tyranny; they have been
robbed of their wealth to satisfy an
avaricious master aud their beau
