COOL IN DIN OF BATTLE.

We had passed the forts and were re-
ceiving the attack of the ram Tennessee
with her magnificent battery, when Sigs-
bee came aft from his division to see how
my boys were getting on. The powder
bags and shells we're going up in steady
stream, and the boys were very noisy.
"Any casualties?" he asked as he wiped
some smudge off his face"
"No," said, "we're all right. How is
it with you?"
"Poor Heginbotham is killed." he said.
Heginbotham was another of the Admi-
RAILS staff, who had been assigned to take
charge of shell whip.
At that instant there was a mighty

SIGSBEE UNDER FIRE.
The OfHcer's Goodness Under Farragut at
Mobile Bay.

Now that the name of Captain sigsbee,
of the Maine, is in everybody's mind, and
his worth as an officer is being attested by
scores of his superiols, let me add my mite
to prove his courage and perfect GOODNESS
in battle, says narrator in the San Fran
cisco Examiner. Sigsbee was youngster
just out of the academy when Farragut
was preparing for his big fight in Mobile
Bay. was an ensign of the Admiral's
staff, and Sigsbee joined the Hartford a
month before the fight.
In assigning officers and men to their
stations Captain Drayton, Farragut's fleet
captain, assigned Ensign Sigsbee to take
charge of the forward powder division.
These divisions were strings of men and
boys to pass powder and shells from the
after and forward magazines to the pow
der and shell whips, to be hoisted to the
gun deck through the matches. Another
duty Of these powder monkeys was to yell
like dervishes in the excitement Of battle,
and it was duty they did not neglect.

Dewey VIII Not Attack Manila Until the

Chicago, July S.-A special cable to
the Chicago Record from its corre-
spondent, John 7. McCutcheon, with
Admiral Dewey's fleet, Manila bay,
July 4th, via Hong Kong, says
The American troops under General
Anderson, which have reached the
Philippines, are now comfortably quar-
tered In the Spanish military barracks
at Cavite and are busy preparing for
active service against the Spanish. No
attack ON Manila is probable before the
arrival of the second detachment Of
troops under General Greene, which Is
expected soon. The present force of
soldiers and marines Is considered in
sufficient to protect life and property
In Manila In the event of the capitula-
tion of that city. The soldiers, how
ever, are all eager 10 begin the fight
ing.
Captain General Augusti has desired
to surrender Manila for some time, and
for that reason the Spanish council,
which Is conducting the defense, trans
ferred the military leadership from
him to the senior colonel of artillery.
The insurgents control the city water
works and have cut off the supply from
that source, but as this is the rainy
season and there is n coudburst every
day, the Spaniards do not suffer from
lack of water. A more serious matter
FOR them at present is that the insur-
gents have captured San Juan Del
Monte, n few miles to the rear. which
had been fitted up with old cannon and
n supply of ammunition and provis-
Ions TO serve as the last stronghold OF
the Spanish government after the

warships.

ment In the Ladronc Islands, declines

THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES.
Starving People Fiocking to tho American
Cump From Santiago

| Starving People Flocking to tho American
Camp From Santiago
New York, July 10.--A special to the
Herald from before Santiago says:
The lack of proper hospital facilities
in the American lines has been accent
uated by the arrival Of 10000 refugees
from Santiago within the American
lines. 1t is believed that General LII
mares, far from seeking to prevent men
women and children from leaving the
city, is encouraging the exodus from
the city. Responsibility for the protec
tion of those nOn-cOmbatants rested up
on the Spanish commander until the
women and children were admitted
within our lines. Now the response
biliiy of feeding and sheltering these
helpless thousands falls upon the
Americans. General Shafter has re.
lieved General Linnres of tremen-
dOus embarrassment and our army has
been saddled with 1t. Many of the
refugees do not conceal their hatred of
the Americans, even while accepting
our food and protection. Tho condl-
iion of these refugees truly is appall-
ing. A great majority of the refugees
are from the destitute families of the
city, and they have no means Of get
ting further from Santiago than El
Caney or of bettering their condition.
They cannot return TO the city until 1t
is occupied by our army, and we must
care for them as best we can. The
Red Cross society today opened re-
lief depot at FL Caney. and succeeded
temporarily in satisfying the hunger
of the refugees. There are plenty of
supplies at Siboncy, but there is no
means of transporting the food to I'll
Caney. The little village to the north
east of the bclcaguercd city cannot
hold half of the refugees.
Thousands are sleeping under shacks
built in the streets and in the woods.
One of the most pitiable of the many
touching scenes being enacted at Ell
Caney was witnessed early last even
ing when n pale, pretty young mother,
clad only in n thin wrapper and hold
ing her thrce-wecks-old babe In her
arms, piteously begged for some con-
denscd milk for her little one. Mother
and babe so long had been without
nourishmcnt that the child at least
must die within n few hours. Many
similar cases are reported. No milk
iHlu bttu ItttlNtu Shhts w
noon to-day.
A wealthy English merchant begged
for can of beans for his family. 1t
was given to him and he carried 1t
away concealed under his coat lest he
he robbed. Thousands of the refugees
deserted El Caney and sirew the road
all along the way 10 Siboney, where
there is no shelter for them, but where
they will get more food. Hundreds Of
sick are gathered about the army COM
missary station. where, amid unsani-
tary surroundings. gray-haircd men
and women 'totter around begging for
single piece of hard tack. Women
fought with one another in their mad
scramble 10 get into the Red Gross de-
pot. This terrible situation is certain
to continue until Santiago falls. Mcrci.

days, but II must come soon. When II
does 1t will rcdoublc the misery of the

1t Is understood that Premier Sagas-
Ia has submitted TO the queen regent II

1t is said that Captain General Blan-
co has cabled to Madrid declaring that
the volunteer army in Cuba wished the
war to continue as the troops hope to
secure victories.

spondent of the Times, telegraphing
Monday, says:
''Senor Sagasta went to the palace
to-day and rendered his resignation
and that of the Cabinet. II is said that
he advised the queen regent to appoint
Il new Cabinet, largely consisting of
the military element. which would not
necessarily mean the adoption of a
warlike policy, but probably the re-
verse.
at is generally expected that the res.
lgnatlon will he accepted but the re-
suit may possibly be merely partial
