were killed at Ell Caney and before
Santiago. "Heavy, heavy" he said,
dejectedly.
In response to an. inquiry, he said
that transportation would be required
for between $4,000 and $4,000 men,
there being that much of force in the
capitulated district. He informed the
officers that Santiago harbor had been
again mined since Admiral Cervera
left.
While there is no doubt of the fact
that the Spanish firing lines had been
provided with an abundance of food to
last during the fighting, it subsequent
ly developed that there was little more
to spare. The city itself had been rob-
bed. On Sunday the Spanish soldiers
who came into the American camp to
give up their guns, were but little more
than living skeletons.
The thousands of refugees who left
Santiago two weeks ago upon notice
of the threatened bombardment, and
went to Ell Caney and other points,
were ordered back into the city on
Sunday. Many of them were in a
starving condition, and there was no
food to be had in the city for love of
money. The shops and dwellings had
alread been plundered by Spanish sol.
diers, not only of mere food 4; but of
money and everything else portable
that was of special value.
The Red Cross steamer State of Tex
as entered the harbor during Sunday
afternoon and began distributing sup
plies as rapidly as possible. Other
supply ships were also ordered in and
were expected to arrive Sunday night
or Monday morning.
At last accounts the question OF
government for the city had not been
definitely settled. This has been un-
der consideration for a week or more.
The Washington authorities are still
in doubt as to the best course to pur-
sue, and until they reach conclusion,
all authority will be vested in General
Shafter.

Camara's Fleet.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Advices
have been received here to the effect
that Camara's feet was on yesterday
sighted off the coast of Tunis. The
Pelayo is said to have been so badly
damaged by an explosion aboard that
she has to be towed by cruiser.
She'll Get Into Trouble.
The state department is advised
that Morocco has refused to declare
neutrality, and it may be that this
country will figure in some of the
operations of Watson's fleet.
Will Take the Rough Riders.
The Porto Rican campaign is to be
under the direction of Generals Miles,
Coppinger and Brooke. Under the
advice of General Miles the troops
who did the hard work at Santiago
will be sent north to recuperate, and
of them all only the Rough Riders
will be taken to Porto Rico. Trans
ports have been engaged to take troops
from Newport News and Tampa. The
present plans provide for lombard
ment of San Juan by SIMPSONS feet
and the landing of not less than 10000
troops. 1t is believed that with such
an overwhelming force the capitula-
ton of the island can be secured with
out much bloodshed.
General Toral has turned over to
General Miles a list of the Spanish
soldiers included in the surrender of
Santiago. The number is 25,075.
The captured Mauser rifles are to be
used for arming American troops, and
the old cannons are to be brought to
America as souvenirs.

The Og.eton school case, which is
to be heard Tuesday afternoon next
before Magistrate Sasse, and for which
Robert Hawthorne, clerk of the
school district, has to answer to the
charge Of embezzlement. is a mixed-up
affair. Miss Ella Gillis, daughter Of
ex-Sheriff Gillis, was a teacher at the
school, and the commissioners were
one year in arrears on her salary She
brought suit against them and got
Judgment. which, with costs, amounted
to sS7S7S.
Philip 2. Churchman, her attorney
issued an execution and would have
sold the schoolhouse. The proceedings
were stopped by Mr.. Churchman being
assured that Miss Gillis would be paid
out of the check Of $3.50 received from
the state.

ceiving the check, turned ii over to w.
