Instead Of Relief CerVera Brought
Two Men to Feed.

SANTIAGO, de Cuba, June 16.-San-
tiago is all ready on starvation rations.
The last source of reinforcement and
supply will soon have been cut of
and Ceryera must surrender or die
like rat in trap.
Rear Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley with their combined
forces are slowly but surely placing
such net work about Santiago and
are cutting off so effectually every
source or outside aid that within a
short time starvation's tapping will
give way to deaths solid knock for
admittance at the doors of the ILL
fated place. Within three days three
separate sources of supply and rein
forcement have been cut off, and
Santiago is now isolated from the
world and is down to famine ratiOns.
When Admiral Cervera arrived at
Santiago with his fleet, the people
welcomed him for she relief they
thought he would bring, but instead
of food he brought them 700 more
men to feed.
The only aid he had to offer was
tons of ammunition in his ships mag
azines.
A map of the harbor furnished by
spies shows that after the lombard
ment of the harbor forts by Schley
the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes,
which was disabled, was towed into
the bay behind the Socapa battery,
where she lies with two tOrpedo-boats.
Half mile further up the Vizcaya
commands with her broadside two
narrow entrances to the east and west
of Cayosmith. Half mile north and
at the gate OF the third narrow en-
trance lies the Almirante Oquendo,
and half a mile to the northwest are
the Cristobal Colon an6 the Maria
Teresa.
With Skaters expedition on the
way to Santiago and the war depart
ment preparing an expedition against
Porto Rico, there is nothing left for
the navy 70 dc but to patiently wait
for the troops at Santiago.
One report has come from Sampson
telling Of engagements between
American marines and Spanish troops
in the chapparral, and no mention
has yet been made ofiicially Of any
of any subsequent night attacks upon
the marines.
1t is realized at the department
that the situation OF the marines is q
very uncomfortable one, but the de-
partner, is assured there Is no real
danger in the situation, because IL
seriously threatened by oVerwhelmlne
force, the marines can retreat 70 the
American warships, where they viii
be in perfect safety. 1t is mainly
sentiment embodied 10 the determin-
alton 10 keep the American flag flying
over the place where IL Was first
planted, and thus retaining for the
navy the honor Of obtaining tho
first position on shore that keeps th,
marines eneamped on the bay o.
Guantanamo.

Four Days and Four Nights
of Fighting.
Guerrilla Methods of Cuban Sol
diers Prove invaluable.
-! -

KINGSTON, June 16.-The first
American victory has been recorded
at Guatanamo. The Spaniards have
been completely routed and their
camp destroyed by the United States
marines. Forty Spaniards were
killed and large number of them
were taken prisoners. The first
aggressive movement was made
against the Spanish guerellas Tuesday.
The force of marines was under Cap
tain Elliott; ahd the corporations of
the Cubans was under Colonel La
borde. 1t is impossible to estimate
the number of Spaniards engaged,
owing to their guerilla methods of
fighting, but it is believed there were
at least 400. Colonel Huntington
decided on an attack early IN the day,
and about O'Clock the force started
across the mountain. The march up
and down the steep hillsides, under a
glarlng tropical sun, was severe
test of endurance for the marines,
and before the battle ground was
reached, twenty-five men had received
medical attention. All were able,
however, to reach the point before
the fighting had ceased. The marines
were compelled to march In single file
following the mountain trail. Mean
while the Cubans darted backward
and forward to the right and left on
the scent.
IL was noon when from the top of
the hilltop theAmericans caught sight
of the Spanish camp on ridge below
them. 1t consisted Of one large house,
all officers quarters, surrounded by a
number of ''shaks" and houses all
clustering about precious well,
The Americans began to advance
and were within 200 yards of the
enemy before the crack Of a rifle, from
the Spanish lines, announced that the
Spaniards had discovered them. The
troops then moved quickly into line oi
battle, with the Cubans on the left
flank. Very few Spaniards were In
sight. They were lying behind the
huts and brush, but the putfs of smoke
revealed their positions and enabled
the Americans to do effective work
For twenty minutes both sides main
tained the fire. The Spanish shots
were generally wild aud spasmOdic,
while the Americans fired away, aim
ing carefully and shooting to kill,
1t was beginning to look as though
a bayonet charge down the slope
would be necessary to dispatch the
enemy, when the latter began to
break for the thicket 1CO yards
further on Little groups could be
seen fleeing from the camp, separating
darting through the brush, and zig
tagging to protect themselves. 1t was
then that the American fire became
most deadly. Man after man was
seen to fall in the vain rush fol
shelter aud the fire from the Spanish
broke, scattered and useless.
AS the enemy began breaking camp
the Dolphin, which lay out at sea, was
signalled and began pitching shells
toward the thicket for which the
Spaniards were making. Meanwhile
Lieutenant Magll was seen coming
with forty men as reinforcements,a and

this idea. The adopting of cer- tain day, by a lady, as her receiv- ing day, simply gives to her friends the reasonable assurance that, if they call on that day they will find her in. Some ladies may say, "Oh, l am at home any time, and my friends are always well come." That is not sufficient. It means nothing more or less than that you are home any day when you are not out. Again the fact that lady has an established re- ceiving day does not preclude her friends from calling any day they see fit. Uniformity in receiving days system, in calling days, does not mean that you are only at home on the one certain day known as your receiving day. It only means that as a rule you will try to be at home to receive your friends on that day, which gives to them a reasonable assurance that you will be at home. The fact, that a lady observes Tuesday as her receiving day, will not pre- vent that lady from accepting an invitation out on that day, neithe.. will it prevent the lady from cay Ing the house on that day in re- sponse to a duty. Every lady should try to have at least one c " In ths week she can reserve s- pecialiy fbr her friends and az

the Senate on the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii has not prevented it's reaching an acute stage, and there may be some sensational developments before itis ended. The bringing of the President of Hawaii to Washing ton by the administration, for there IS little doubt that Mr. Dole came, to the U. s. at the request. direct or implied, of Mr. McKin- ley, is being somewhat harshly criticized and many believe that his presence ill Washington will be much more likely to mak e votes against annexation than for 1t.
