noon Yesterday, acting under Instructions
from Washington, Maj. Gen. Shafter, the
commander of the American troops, sent
letter to Gen. Linares, In command of
the Spanish forces, defending santiago,de-
maadiug the surrender of the city.
The message was delivered by Col
Dorst.
Three hours elapsed before the firing
stopped Gen. Llnares responded promptly
with an absolute refusal to surrender.
Gen sblfter at noon to-day repeated his
demand for the surrender of the city and
notified Gen Linares that unless Santiago
surrendered hosulities would be resumed
at noon on Tuesday.
Up to this evening Gen. Linares has not
replied to the second request for the sur
render Of the city.
Conferences with the consuls of the for
ei-a powers have been conducted near
Gen. Wheeler's headquarters. The con-
suls SAID there were $1,000 men, women and
ch.5ren foreign subjects, in the city. and
they requested a cessation of hostiHties
in order to enable them to be removed
outside Santiago and to be placed under
the protection of The United States. This
was definitely refused by the American
commander, who declined to accept any
such responsibility.
The consuls were told that 1t rested with
them to insist upon Gen. Linares' surren-
der The conference was resumed at 9
o'clock this morning, when the consuls
expressed grave doubts as to Gen. LinaIes'
surrender, on account of the false tcle-
grams IN regard to Spanish Victories and
yeio" fever among the American troops
say daily to Madrid, which caused tho

plans of the navy department as to send

coast of Spain.
Secretary Long said 1t would start at
the earliest possible moment, but he did
not care to give the day of departure
The annihilation of the Spanish fleet
continues TO be an absorbing topic among
naval officials. and they are giving most
generous praise to Commodore schley for
the notable manner in which he directed
the fight when the immediate command
fell to his lot. The commodore's friends
have long predicted that il he secured an
opportunity he would render good account
of the fighting ability of the American
navy, and they are glad this opportunity
was afforded. II is one more and perhaps
the greatest achievement in a long line
with which Commodore Schlev's name
has been associated, others including the
relief Of the Greeley Arctic expedition and
the command Of the Baltimore at Valpa-
raiso when war was imminent as the re-
suit OF a mob attack on the American
blue-jackets.

fering illness, and in taking her as He
did, God seemed to show His mercy,
although the shock was sudden to those
left behind. She filled out her full mea-
sure of days, life and service, and was
ready to go. She should be thought of
as not dead, but one who has only en-
tered higher life"

Mrs. Yates, through her husband,
made contract with him to do the
plumbing for six-room tenement
house His compensation was to be

soon as the rough work was done, and
the balance on the completion of the
Job Mrs. Yates refused to pay the
$500 at the appointed time, and suit
was brought.
The defendant claimed no such con-
tract ever existed, the understanding
being that the work would be paid for
when completed Despite this agree
ment, $100 had been paid on account.
When the work was about half finished
the job had been left, delaying the
building and greatly inconveniencing

employed by the city of Worcester
making repairs in the furnace line at
various school houses in the city, and
some time ago made an assignment of
the wages due him from the city to
parties in Albany, n. Y. The Ellis
Foundry Company had placed an at
tachment on money due Bacon from
the city, for a claim of $199, and
claimed the assignment to the Albany
parties had no legal force, for the rea-
son that Bacon was not a regular em-
ployee of the city, and every job he
undertook was separate transaction,
and that separate assignment would
be necessary to cover each one of them

WANTED A TEAM.
But Several Owners Objected to Dunn's
Driving Away With Theirs.

Edward Mortimer Dunn, an old man
who lives in the neighborhood of
Keith's hill, Grafton, created consider
able excitement on Mechanic street
yesterday by attempting to drive away
the teams of several individuals. AS
fast as the old man attempted to get
into team he would be ordered away,
and within a few minutes quite crowd
had collected.
Sergt. Hill had his attention called to
the matter and on questioning the old
man found from his story that he had
driven team into the city yesterday
morning with load Of vegetables and
was unable to locate it. He seemed con-
fused, and as developed later is slight
ly unbalanced mentally. Dunn was
taken to the Waldo street station,
where he was detained until his friends
could be communicated with.
A fellow townsman called for him
later in the afternoon and took him
home. The police looked for the team
all the afternoon, but were unable to
locate it. Dunns friend was of the
opinion that the old man had no team

comparison with any other form of
human effort. 1t can only broaden
as men broaden. In it's natural field,
it has accomplished much and will do
more, for its history Is not yet written.
1t teaches its members to subordinate

taught cooperation and practical fra

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
Many Greetings to Venerable John P.
Marble on His 9eth Birthday

Marble on His Goth Birthday
The seth birthday of Mr.. John p. Mar
BILE was celebrated In quiet and flt-
ting manner at his home on Harvard
street, yesterday. The venerable gem
tleman was the recipient Of the con-
CALCULATIONS Of about so of his friends,
who called to wish him continued
health and happiness. Mr.. Marble was
in the most excellent health and spirits
all day, and received all his callers
with a grace and oordiality that would
do credit to the most polished host 80
years his Junior. Many of the visitors
brought gifts of flowers, and the room
in which Mr.. Marble received was beau
tifully decorated with them before the
day was over.
The Spy man was ushered into his
presence last evening, and was received
as one of the honored guests. Mr.. Mar
BILE spoke with pleasure Of the fact that
The Spy had accented a suggestion OF
his made at The Spy mans call few
days ago, and he said that 1t was this
spirit of giving the people what they
wanted when possible that made the
success of the paper The venerable
nonogenarian wore in his buttonhole a
handsome pink which he had chosen
from the numbers sent to him, and as
he sat in his chair in the midst of his
friends he was the veritable picture of
hale and hearty old age that comes
only to those who have walked in the
paths Of righteousness and honor all
their long lives. Mr. Marble laughingly
remarked that he had had a peat mum
Der of people to see him, and, said he,
There were more ministers than doc
tors among them, too.'
Among those that called during the
day were the members of Mr., Marbles
family in this city and in several sur
rounding towns, and about so neighbors
and friends. Rev. DR.. McCullagh and
Rev. DR.. Gunnison called during the
evening, and Rev. DR.. Harris was at
the house in the afternoon, to wish
many happy returns to his venerable
parishioner.
Mr.. Marble looks as we'll as many q
man two score years his junior, and
there seems to be no reason why he
should not round out the full century
of one of the most notable and admir-
able lives that the city can boast of as
having been lived within it's borders.
