Dor as the Americans take Santiago,
it is said by n prominent Cuban officer,
it is the intention to invest Nuevitas,
the principal port of the province of
Puerto Principe.
This move is regarded as being high.

iards, after Nuevitas has been taken
from them, will lose control of all

Nuevitas is a small place, edsy of

He said that the situation in Santiago
was bad, but by no means hopeless
from the Spnish point of view. lie
said the troops had food enough for
their present needs, were in good
health, and would make a good fight
when they were called upon. lie said
the men were given 81 each on Sat
urday, and as it was the first money
they had received in many months,
they were feeling very cheerful. The
water supply for the Spanish troops is
getting quite bad, and the amount OF
it is somewhat limited, although up
to this time there has been no serious
distress on this account. Desertions
from the ranks of the Spanish volun-
teers continue, and it is now said that
fully 5000 men that agreed to fight
for Spain are out of the city. A party
of 500 cavalry left the city Saturday
morning, marching in the direction of
Holguin. The Spanish infantry have
removed all light articles from the
trenches to facilitate their movements
in ease the abandonment of the city is
determined upon.

of three persons--Otto Zciser of New

Charles Liebra, chief clerk oil. tle Stat
ford hotel, Philadelphia appears
that the fourth engineer of La Bour-
gogne, who WIS saved. acted in the
most brutal toward the pas
scngers. The. three men agree in the
statement that after the collision.
when everyone was surrounding the
boats, the fourth engineer said:
Damn the passengers. Let them
save themselves; We save our lives
first.''
He also said that if he had a re-
%volver he would shoot the passengers.
Mr.. Liebra spoke in great praise of the
captain of La.Bourgogne. lie said that
officer did not think the collision was
serious and informed those saloon pas
sengers who inquired that there was
no danger. This is thought to besone
reason that none of the s~eventy-ive
first class passengers were saved.

quainted with Y%ousouf. the Turkish

sngasta Visits the Queen Regent

OF the Cabinet.
London, July l3.@The Madrid CORE
Epondent of the Times telegrapfing
Monday says;
sSenoS Sagasta went to the pnlace
today and rendered his resignation
and that of the cabinet. 1t is said that
he advised the queen regent to appoint
a new cabinet, largely consisting of
the military element, which would not
necessarily mean the adoption of a
warlike policy, but probably the re-
verse.
ut is generally expected that the
resignation will be accepted, but the
result may possibly be merely a par
tial reconstruction of the cabinet.
sThe ministers are now in council
and Senior Sagasta has doubtless com
municated to them m account of Ills
audience with the queen regent"
Madrid, July 12.--lt is asserted tint
the United States makes the following
demands as conditions of peace:
First-Thc possession of Cuba and
Puerto Rico, with a port in the Ca
nnries.
Second-An indemnity of f4s, OoO,o 900.
Third-The retention of the Philip
pines as a guarantee of the payment of
the indemnity.
These terms are regarded as impos-
sible.
On leaving the cabinet council yes
terdny evening the ministers declared
that they had mutually engaged to
maintain the strictest reserve on the
subject Of their deliberations.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, had an audience with
the queen regent yesterday and subse-
quently an important conference with
the French ambassador.
General Blanco has cabled the gov
eminent as follows:
THE proposal for an unconditional
surrender of Santiago de Cuba being
rejected. hostilities were resumed ut
A o'clock this Sunday afternoon. I
ordered Santiago to defend itself a
loutrance. The enemy commenced
by a cannonade, setting fire to the
wreck of the Alfonso MIL, which
henceforth will be impossible to save.
THE Americans also appear to
threaten Baturanao bay. The cruiser
Pennsylvania (sic), which l had sent
with $4,000 rations to force the block
adc at Santiago, was pursued by the
enemy and abandoned it's cargo. This
attempt to revictual the town there
for has failed.
"The enemy. opened the attack On
San Juan and FL MORO at 4:15 p. IN.
by a brisk fusillade and by guns. Our
troops maintained their positions, and
the enemy abandoned their advanced
trenches and those on the hill of San
Juan. The squadron simultaneously
bombarded the town. The firing
ceased at Z o'clock. Our troops be-
haved admirably and losses were
slight"
Another Havana dispatch says:
1.-THE Americans abandoned their po-
sition at Santiago. The spaniards
had one cavalry officer wounded"
Captain Aunin, minister of marine,
denies that Admiral Cervcra had in
structions to leave Santiago bay. The
government left it to his discretion to
make an exit if he were unable II re-
sist i'll the bay.
An official dispatch from Iolio, Phil
ippine islands. says: Seven chiefs
and 1000 rebels have made submission
to the military commander"

The war department knew what it
was about when it dismounted the cav
airy regiment with Skaters expedi-
ton. It is evident that cavalry opera
tons are impossible in the vicinity of
Santiago, and it is probable that there
will be little opportunity to use mount
ed troops in the campaign against Ha-
yana. In short, 1t Is now evident that
set military operations such rs are pos
sihle in Europe, or even such as those
witnessed in our civil war, are impossi-
BILE in Cuba. The commanders of the
United States forces have to face new
and strange conditions-conditions of
climate, topography and transporta-
ton. Not even the experience gained
an warfare will serve as a guide
in Cuba, for, though the operations
will be fully as irregular-from a mill
tary standpoint-the physical obsta-
8cles IRE OF a totally different kind.
Shafter and Miles will have to formu-
late new tactics to meet the new con-
ditions that will confront them.

OF Santiago de Cuba, via Playa del
Este, July 1s,--tCopyrighted, 1898, by
the Associated Press.)--At half past
nine yesterday morning, after several
range finding shots V the ridge
protecting Santiago from the sea, the
United States cruiser Newark opened
fre into the City with her s-inch guns.
The signal corps officers stationed on
top of the ridge reported the effect of
the shots. The New York, Brooklyn
and Indiana participated in the firing
at intervals of five minutes.
The bo~mbardment lasted for two
hours, when General Shafter reported
that the shells were mostly falling
in the bay and doing but little dam
age. The last shot, however, struck a
prominent church in Che heart OF the
city which was heavily stored with
powder and ammunition, causing Il
tremendous explosion. The exter,t of
the damage is not yet known.
When the warships ceased firing,
and before General Shafter had be-
gun the land attack, II flag of truce
was seen coming from the city. The
object of this was not known ut noon
yesterday, when the correspondent OF
the Associated Press left the front.
Miles Arrives.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
United States auxiliary cruiser Yale,
with General Nelson a.. Milees, and
the United States protected cruiser
Columbia, arrived.
Rear Admiral Simpson visited Cen

and then the Yale went to Siborney.

Waiting For News.
Washington, July 13.-General
Skaters report from Siboney, sen.
before midnight last night, caused Of
ficials of the war department. to wait
all day with the expectation of hear
ing the bombardment of Santiago had
begun. No word to that effect came,
however, up to the time the depart
ment closed, and though there is lit
tie reason to doNbt that the general
carried out the program of which he
had notified the department., 1t was
regarded as possible that he had con-
scented to Il further extension of tho
truce in view of certain signs of
weakening on the part of the Spanish
commander.
Preparing to Leave.
Santiago, July 13.-Deserters from
the Spanish camp tell the American
officers that the Spaniards are making
hasty preparations to e%vacuate the
city of Santiago. They are sacking
the city and plundcring the houses OF
families who fed to the hills when
General Skaters notice of lombard
ment was given to the Spanish COM
mander.
Mrs. Rosa Chacon de Odis, n rich
woman, who refused to quit the city
because her fortune and n valuable
collection OF jewels were kept in her
house, was assassinated by Spanish
soldiers. Her house was plundered of
everything, all kinds of Dlrbarities be-
ing committed. The details of the
case were brought to II lines last
night by a small detachment of Gu
bans, who joined Garcia's forces at
#CubitaS.

Washington, ID. c., July 13.-Both
the finance committee of the senate
and the ways aud means committee Of
the house secured permission during
the closing hours of the session to sit
during the recess of congress for the
purpose of considering the internal
revenue and customs laws. The gen
eral belief of both the members of the
senate and the house committee is
that the war will have ended before
congress in December. In
this event it will be desirable to modi-
fly to a large extent, the war revenue
bill, and the sente and house commits
tees which are charged with such mat
tiers wish to be prepared with full in
formation upon the operation of the
law, to the end that they may be
aEle to make intelligent recommendu-
tons to congress as to the changes
which are called for. There are sew
eral matters pending with regard to
the bonded whisky laws which espec-
tally require attention.
AS it is n certainty that the United
States will be called upon to maintain
q large army, for some time at least,
in Cuba, Puerto Rico and probably the
Philippines, the war revenue measure
will have to be continued in part.
Some of the taxes imposed can, how
ever, undoubtedly be lifted aud will
be. To determine what taxes shall be
abated will be the object of invesii-

The tunnel is an immense affair. be
ing projected to extend outward from
the shore for q distance of four and a
half miles, which has been under con-
struction for more than a year. The
work has been attended with great
difficulty. About six weeks ago there
was a big explosion of gas in the shore
end of the big hole, which killed eight
men and injured Il number of others.
The explosion last night occurred at a
few minutes before Z o'clock, but no.
body will ever be, able to tell what
caused it or how it happened, for every
witness is dead and the bodies of all
are lying where they fell, 5000 feet out
under the lake. The only man in the
tunnel who escaped death is Con
O'Donnell, a lock tender, who was sta
toned 300 feet from the shore. He
says there were ten explosions and the
~corcussion was something terrible, for
it threw him off his feet and for hours
he was in a dazed condition. He final

Two men, Patrick Warner and Mar

in the tunnel after the accident. They
made their way to Il lock 5000 feet
from the shore, but We're there over
co1nc by the gas and fell to the floor.
When they failed to return a young
man named Clements, son of one of the
men who was killed, went to their res
cue. He found them almost uncon-
scious, lying owe Il mule cart, and sue

further.
A second rescning party was made
up, but it failed utterly in accomplish
ing anything, as the tunnel was filled
with foul gas and smoke. Nothing can
be accomplished in the way of getting
the bodies until the tunnel is lighted
and the sulphur gas and smoke are
cleared out. 1t is sure death to try to
reach the bodies now.
