HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL SKATER,
July 10, per dispatch boat, via Port An
tonic and Kingston, Jamaica, July ia
From o'clock this afternoon until
dark the American guns have again
been pouring a deadly fire inlo the
Spanish lines.
Our men are greatly refreshed by
their three days rest and have been
fighting with lion.like spirit. The
knowledge of reinforcements gives
them new enthusiasm.
The artillery is in place and doing ef-
fective work. The fire from the Span
iards in the trenches is very weak.
The city of Santiago is almost in
darkness tonight, and our men believe
that the resistance Of the Spaniards is
about at an end. They expect gen.
eral assault tomorrow, should the city
not have surrendered at daybreak. The
Americans are now much better forti-
fed in the trenches.
General Shafter said to correspon d.
ent: General Henry and his division
are now landing at Juragua and are
coming up as rapidly as possible. Our
lines cannot be made more effective,
| but If the chance offers to increase our
strength will take advantage Of it.

bombardment of the city of Santiago at

quest from General Shafter, conveyed
by a signal from the shore.
| The warships lined up from east to
west, a quarter of mile from the shore,
and fred over the limestone cliffs that
come down to the sea and hide the city,
five miles away.
The bombardment was continued for
one hour.
After 35 shots had been fired from the

from the shore announced that the
shells fell 600 feet short and little to
the left of the Spanish position. At dusk

anything. Captain DE Lancy, who had
had three minutes conversation, said
he seemed pleasant, but that was all.
Mrs. De Lancy was confirmed in her
preconceived opinion that men were
owls because her husband was unable
to add to the military descriptive list of
brown eyes, brown hair, brown beard
and clothes any of the particulars she
sought He couldn't tell whether Bar
clay had fine teeth or good complexion,
what his mouth was like, whether he
had nice hands and voice. Indeed he
couldn't see why Mrs. De Lancy should
be SO anxious to know Not until to-
ward noon was any reliable particular
concerning Captain Barclay passed
along the line. Then the domestic bull
letin dealt out the fact that the million
aire mine owner wore flannel shirt
and silver WA; which information
was distinctly q. lening.
But that evening, while the colonel
and other officers began calling at
Brooks to welcome formally the unex-
pected addition to the commissioned
force, Mrs Brooks was able to slip out
and over to her crony, Mrs. De Lancy,
and in ten minutes she had an audience,
married and single, that gladdened her
heart. She could and did talk almost
uninterruptedly for over an hour Ar
irving danes or damsels were signaled
not to interrupt and, joining the circle,
patiently withheld their questions until
she paused for breath, and then what
every one seemed to want to know was,
Had he said anything or asked anything
about Mrs. VIM? He had. He express
Ell tho utmost sympathy with poor Mr.
Winn. He told Major Brooks OF a SINH
lar experience that occurred in the ID
cavalry only the year previous and how

officer years to square the account. lie

eral health and we'll being OF Mrs.
Vim, whom he had had the pleasure,
he said, of meeting several years before,
but more particularly he had asked
about Lawrence and Lawrence's chill
dren and who was in charge OF them. 1t
was evident that he was deeply concern
ed about them and most anxious to meet
Captain and Mrs. Blythe.
"Well, that's one thing at least in
his favor. was the verdict, for through
out Brooks battalion, as it was then
called. or squadron, as we should call
it today, there existed an indefinable
feeling of antagonism toward this
stranger within their gates thus coming
to usurp the place Ned Lawrence held
in their hearts and homes, if no longer
on their rolls. Some one slipped out
and brought in Mrs. Blythe, for whose
benefit Mrs. Brooks not unwillingly
went over all she had told about Cap.

yield enough to send those poor babies
home. -
''Home!' said Blythe sadly. "What
home has child whose kith and kin
are all of the army? They have neither
home nor mother. +"
But no man made the faintest COM
ment on facts the women remarked in
stanter, that Barclays watch was only
silver and his guard an Inexpensive lit
tie cord or braid of fine leather, worn
about his neck; that his travelling suit
was of rough gray mixture, and his
shirt flannel negligee. But then, as
Mrs. De Lancy explained in extenua-
ton of their blindness, he had donned
his uniform by the time they called
that second evening, and it became him
very we'll.

tain Barclay queries as to the children
and their benefactors, and that sweet,
tender hearted, motherly woman ought
to have softened to him, but didn't.
He could have heard it all at San An
tonic for the asking" she declared,
"but he didn't stop two days at San
Antonio" explained Mrs. Lrooks.
"The moment he heard that Colonel
Riggs was going on by special ambu-
lance he begged to be allowed to go with
him, and Riggs couldn't see a way to
say No and later confessed he was very
glad he had said Yes. !"
Brooks, you were all growing at
the idea Of having any outsider, much
less q doughboy, take Lawrence's
place, :" We're the bluff old veteran ex-
act words "but you mark what say.
1 was rather prejudiced against this
young fellow myself, and it has just
taken this jolt together from San An
tonic to satisfy me he is grit to tho
backbone and you are in big luck to get
him."
AT least dozen men called at the
majors that evening to pay their re-
spects to the new comrade. 1t was long
after taps when the last one left, but
almost to a man they gathered at the
clubroom later to compare notes. Hodge,
of course, had called among the first,
his claim of intimate or at least old ac-
quaintance rendering it necessary. Bar
clay's brown eyes certainly lighted at
the sight of the face a. had known in
the far northwest. He Cnatted for mo-
ment with the infantryman and ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting him
again. Then Blythe entered, with his
grave, massive face and courteous yet
reserved manner, and Brooks spoke of
the fact that Barclay seemed to shake
hands more earnestly with him than
with any Of the others, and to look at
him oftener, though striving to slight
no one. They sat there, as men will at
such times, somewhat awkwardly, only
one speaking at once, and generally the
same one. Hodge, for instance, had
much to say and many questions to ask
about fellows he had known in Wyo-
ming, and when he left and others came
i'll, three or four went at the same time,
having sat stolid listeners, calmly study
ing Barclay with their eyes and finally
saying good night and "hope to see
you when you get settled" etc.
They We're talking of him at the
store and wondering when and where
he would settle and whether he would
take Lawrence's quarters and what
would then become of Ada and little
Jim, who with Old Nanny still occn-
pied their rooms there and had all the
furniture as poor daddy left it, but who
