this port. The siege guns are not yet
within five miles of the vanguard.
General Shafter left his ship today
and took up his quarters with General
wheeler at the front. His appearance
gives rise to the rumOr that an attack
on Santiago would occur tomorrow, but
the staff officers say tonight it is i'm
possible to get the army in shape to
striks a blow for several days.
A bout 1000 troops are camped four
miles east of the besieged city, and the
remainder of the forces stretch along
Baiquiri
The advance forces are in a semi
circle, the left flank resting about two
miles from those under command of
General Chaffee, with the extreme right
under command of Colonel Miles about
mile to the northwest. Beginning with
the Twelfth infantry at the extreme
left, the Seventh Seventeenth, Fourth
Twenty-fifth and Tenth infantry ex-
tending to the right in the order named.
Beyond them picket lines are eStab
1shed three quarters of a, mile nearer,
santiago city being in plain sight of
General Chaffee's and Colonel Miles
troops.
Much amusement has been caused among
the officers by the large number OF Red
cross Tags flying from buildings in Santi-
ago. Seven such flags could be counted
We're hOisted tonight. They are ali fly
ing from the largest and most prominent
ish soldiers evidently intend to thus try to
protect every place in city offering good
mark for the American artillery.
For the past day two the landings
have been without incident. The hospital
corps has finished it's camp and several
patients are already undergoing treat
ment- Ihere are quite a number of cases
of measles under the care of the physi-
clans, but majority of the cases of sick
ness result from the heat and the extreme
hardShlpS the men have undergone, par
ucularly IN waiting for shelter and food
during the landing off Santiago.
The feet lies silently and grimly waiting
Tor the moment to come when it shall
finally measure its strength with the
harbor batteries.
All day long four American men-of-war
lay within mile and a half of MORO
guns, but not a shot was exchanged. The
sailors on board could almost have ex-
changed words with the soldiers ashore,
and the fact that the Spaniards did not
risk shot or two is taken to indicate that
perhaps they are very short of ammuni-
and New orleans could easily have been
hit, as they lay almost motionless within
such easy range, but Moro might have
been a country school house for all the
hostile demonstration it made.
Word was received by Rear Admiral
Sampson today that the Spanish supply
boat Purisima Conception, which escaped
from Jamaica recently, has arrived safely
at Tunas. the port of Sanct Spiritus, on
the southern coast of the province of
Santa Clara The naval officers here are
much chagrined at the fact that the
steamer got away.

In Subscriptions to the $780,
100000 War Loan AL
ready Received.

Washington, July Inquiries at the
treasury department elicit the inforTna-
ton that the total proposals for the
new government loan of 5000, OOO, 900 ag-
gregate $3.50, 900, 600. OF this amount
there have been received and absolutely
accepted subscriptions for amounts of
$500 and less, $40 900, 900. Subscriptions
in amounts over $780, subject to future
allotment $3.50, 600, 600. A proposal for a

S10O, 600 900. Two syndicate propositions
for any part or all of the bonds offered
5000, 900, 900 each. $500, 900, 600.
These syndicate offers and this offer
for bonds at a. premium are not in the
regular form although they came from
entirely responsible sources and no
allotment will be made in either case.
1t is expected that heavy subscriptions
will increase in number with the begin-
ing of the new month. Savings bank
deposits will probably be realized to a
considerable amount as the six months
interest period is July and withdraw

matter for the soldiers and sailors oper-
ating in Santiago province and with
SIMPSONS fleet are stored at Tampa

COMMANDMENT
Four American Warships Open
on ManZaniIIO.

New York, July IA correspondent
in Santiago de Cuba telegraphs to the
Journal that four United States war
ships bombarded Manzanillo on the
gulf of Guacanaybo Thursday inf1icting
much damage to the defences of the
place. Spanish gunboats according to
this dispatch opened fire upon the
American ships, which then moved out
of range.
The same dispatch reports that a bal
loon sent I'D from the American camp
was seen from Santiago on Thursday.
In the balloon were two men, seemingly
taking observations of the Spanish for
tifications about Santiago.

New York: Some Wall street interests
have professed to regard the pros
poets of a third call for volun-
teers by the president with alarm. It
would be absurd to suppose that the large
financial interests have not been fully ap-
preciative of the. situation The vote of
the mid-year settlements brought no dis
turbance to the money market. This, too,
when the great government loan is af-
fecting all business calculations. On every
hand evidence accumulates of the plethora
of capital seeking inves tTnent. Wall street
speculation naturally is dull. General
business moves ahead steadily and with
every aracteristic of health, and the
bank reserves are accommodating in every
part of the country.

The war and money paInks of the
platform follow:
I'VE are in favor of the immediate
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
not only as an absolute necessity, but
as the fruitiOn of one of the noble
aspirations of one of the long line of our
great statesmen and because such an
nexation would be of unquestiOned ad-
vantage to the American people.
We believe the national honor and
the material interest of the American
people require the maintenance OF the
present gold standard.
I'VE declare our unalterable Opposi-
ton to the free coinage of silver ana
all schemes looking to the population
and debasement of our money and the
reputation OF debts. We condemn the
continual agitBtiOn of free silver as
tending to debauch the public morals
and jeopardize the prosperity of the
country, the highest interests of which
demand at all times a sound and stable
financial system.
we desire to especially commend
the wisdom and patriotism of the pres
ent administration for the manage
ment of the existing war between this
country and Spain, a war which APP
peals to the patriotism of every citizen,
in that it is being prosecuted in the in
terests of humanity and for no selfish
ends whatever. To the end that it's
objects may be speedily realized and
the war brought to an early terTnina-
ton, we pledge all the moral and ma
teriaI support in our power"
