THE srANIARDs oBsTINACY.
Strengthened by knowledge of Sick
ness Among American Troops.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo Bay,
| July 13.-The uneventful truce has contin-
ued all today before Santiago and will
continue until noon tomorrow (Thursday).
Gen. Toral has rejected condition after
condition offered by Gen. Shafter, IN the
face of a threatened renewal of the bonn
bardment.
It is thought that Spanish obstinacy is
strengthened by the knowledge of sickness
among the American troops, the real facts
as to which have probably been eXagger-
ated inside the Spanish lines as Gen. Tor
ais present attitude is certainly not that
of the Spanards who ran to Hobson with
pleas for protection at the end of the first
days fight.
The present order is for a renewal of
the bombardment at noon tomorrow, July
IA. The guns are being placed very slow
Iy, owing to the wretched condition Of
the roads. which have been washed into
veritable canons by the torrents of rain
that have fallen in the last few nights.
The American position is now considered
by Gen. Miles quite as strong and effec-
tive as the lack of heavy artillery will
permit. The plan for tomorrow is to try
to flank the extreme west of the Spanish
line by landing the 9Th Massac chusetts and
9Th Illinois at Cabanas, two miles west OF
Ell Moro. The attack on the <trong bat
terry in position there is to be made under
cover of heavy bombardment of the
Spanish center.
If the line is broken at this Point Gen.
Lawton, on our extreme right, will prob
ably crush the Spanish eft and an 7ntry
be thus effected.
The command of this expedition was
given by Gen. Miles to Gen. Guy Henry,
but the latter was unable to make con-
nections with the auxiliary cruiser Yale,
which carries the 9Th Massachusetts and
9th Illinois Therefore Gen. Garrison will
command. Gen. Henry is bitterly disap-
pointed
Grave fears are expressed among army
men here that should the bombardment
tomorrow fail of the intended effect the
anxiety to end the campaign in this Vi
cinity may lead the American authorities
to accept Gen. Torars proposition.
Every one feels that Santiago is the cnly
barrier now in the way of a swift descent
upon Porto Rico.

general attack will be made, the fleet
bombarding the city from outside the har-
bor
1t is believed, however, that tomorrow
morning, and perhaps before then, white
flag will be flying from the fortifications.
The terms Of surrender insisted upon by
the American commander take in not only
the beleaguered Spanards in Santiago, but
the whole province of Santiago de Cuba,
including the garrisons at Manzanilo, Hol-
guin, Guantanamo and Baracao.
The United States, on it's part, agrees to
send the Spanish troops back to Spain and
to allow their officers their side arms.
No other concessions will be granted

SENECA SAILS WITH WOUNDED.
All Who Could Stand 1t Have Reen

for Fort Monroe. She has on board all of the
remaining wounded American officers and

War Department officials speak in the
highest praise of the work accomplished
by DR.. Pope, the medical director of Cen
eral Skaters corps, and his assistants in

ceiving all the care and comfort that
science, skill and money can provide.

probably remain there the greater part Of

correspondent of the Associated Press. who
accompanied him to the front, Gen Miles
said:
'I have not come down here to take COM

changes in the plan of campaign, even If

to make. Things seem to be moving in
good shape. l intend to look over our lines

General Greene Testifies

WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-General F. V.
Greene, who was in charge of one of
the divisions of the United States troops
at the battle Of Manila, was before the
war investigating commission at it's

San Francisco to Manila on the steamer
China, an excellent vessel, he said,
which was inspected by a board of
officers before it was chartered. He
found the ship in good condition, but
the men We're necessarily crowded.
-Four months provisions and a large
quantity of quartermasters and medical
supplies We're carried. With "a few ex-
ceptions the loading was carefully done,
though there was displacement owing
to haste. General Greene said there
was no complaint during the voyage of
scarcity OF supplies, but during the first
two days out there was some dissatis.
faction with the cooking. This was
soon improved and no criticism was
heard afterwards. The details of the
ocean trip and of the battle of Manila
were related in a manner calling for
the closest attention from the. commits.
sioners, but covering the same ground

Cows and Ski,omilk.

A seemingly unnatural use for skim
milk, but one which has been reported
as satisfactorily practiced in a number
OF places, is rs food for milk COWS.
Some German accountsAare given OF
mixing skimmilk with water, very
little at frs and gradually increased
until the COWS are taught to drink the
milk alone. Others describe using milk
and meal or bran of some kind to make
paste, and claims ares made that in
this form ten pounds of skimmilk re-
place one pound Of wheat or rye bran,
having the same food value with cows
The method Of feeding the skimmilk
back to the COWS producing it, which
has been most pructiced and ADVOCATED
in Europe, originated in Sweden. The
milk is. heated to 155 degrees or 16O de-
grees L. for half an hour, then cooled
toSl00 degrees F.. and rennet is added
While the milk is thickening an equal
weight Of chaff or finely cut straw is
mixed in, and after being well stirred it
is allowed to stand two or three hours
III large tub or tank. The separated
whey is then drawn off and poured over
the mixture, that as much as possib BILE
may be absorbed. The whole mass is
then left to fernent from 40 to 4S hours,
according to the weather, when it is re-
garded as prepared for feeding. Cows
are given as much of this "skimmilk
feed' as will equal gallon of milk per
day. 1t is claimed that as thus prepared
gallon of skimmilk amply replaces
four pounds of concentrated grain food
Reports from Sweden, Norway and Den
mark are favorable to this method of
utilizing creamery skimmilk, and some
who1have tried it in this country make
like reports, while others give con-
trary opinion. Western Ploughman.
