rates Of wages generally exceeding
those that have ruled for the last few
years. The products Of the soil have
brought good returns to the farmers.
The manufacturing industries OF the
state, with some few exceptions, are
thriving and prosperous. A more gen.

ceiyed No Advices.

Washington. July 11.-Secretary
Long had received no dispatches from
Admiral sampson, up to O'Clock, to-
night. The secretary was not antici-
pating any important information from
the fleet. a cable message was recaiy-
ed at the navy department from Com

said it contained nothing of public i'm
portance and would not be given ont.
A very large package was brought to
the navy department, today, by Ensign
Palmer from the St. Louis. 1t was
supposed that the package contained
the report Of Admiral Sampson on the
recent naval enga cement off Santiago.
but it was batch of letters written
by Spanish prisoners to be forwarded
to their friends in Spain.
The naval officials were greatly dis
appointed at finding that the mail bags
brought by Ensign Palmer were closed.

until dark the American guns have
again been pouring a deadly fire into
the Spanish lines.
Our men are greatly refreshed by
their three days rest and have been
pouring in a deadly fire and fighting
with lionlile spirits. This knowl-
edge OF the arrival OF reinforcements
gives them new enthusiasm.
The artillery is in place and doing eff
fectivc work. The fire from the Span
ards in the trenches is very weak.
The city of Santiago is almost in
darkness, this evening. and our men
believe that the resistance of the
Spaniards is about at an end.
They expect a general assault, to-
morrow, should the city not have sur
rendered by daybreak.

report from Siboney, sent just before
midnight, last night, caused officials OF
the war department To wait AL day
with the expectation of hearing that
the bombardment of Santiago had be
gun. No word to that effect came.
however, up to the time the department
closed. and though there is little reason
to doubt that the general carried out
the programme of which he had noti
fled The department, it was regarded
as possible that he had consented to Il
further extension under the flag of
truce in view of certain signs of weak
cning on the part of the Spanish COM
mander.
Il is supposed here, That Gen. Miles
with additional reinforcements, on the
Yale will arrive a Siboney, tonight
or tomorrow morning. and if sur
render has not been made by that time
it is believed that the assault upon the
town proper will be prosecuted at once
With the greatest energy and detclmi-
nation.
The tests made recently of the naval
ordnance gave very unsatisfactory re-
suits when it was attempted to pro-
ject shells over the high hills from the
open sea into Santiago city. Possibly
better results may b. attained tomOr-
row, if the attack is resumed then, but
there is more likelihood that the main
reliance will be upon such Of the light
er draught vessels of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet as may succeed in getting
closer to the shore and in a better po-
s.tion than the heavy battleships.
The officials here are satisfied that
what appears to be delay on the part
of Cen Shafter was really caused by
his efforts to carry out strictly the
President $ injunction to prevent the
Spanish army from escaping from San
tiaSo. He might have attacked the
town several days ago with the result
that if the Spaniards were overcome

one of the official reporters of the Sem
ate was appointed reporter of the COM
mission. 1t was decided that the en-
tire clerical force should foe composed
of employees of the Senate in order not
to add unnecessarily to the salary roll
of the commission. August LIST was
agreed upon as the approximate date
for sailing from San Francisco.
AT todays meeting, so far as opin-
ion was expressed it was favorable to
the adoption of the existing Hawaiian
statutes the members of the commits
sion generally express the opinion that
steps Will be taken to protect the
Islands against all possible foes both
by erecting fortiiioations and by MAIN
tanning 4 force of men sufficient for
any probable emergency. The present
land laws of the island are quite con-
pflcated, and the chief object in view
when they We're formulated was that
of inducing white immigration. The
probabilities are that they will be re-
tanned under the new system in the
main.
The Presidents intention of continue
ing President Dole as the governor of
the new territory was discussed at the
as Il matter decided upon and
was most qpDroVingly sDOken of The
commissioners favor a fun territorial,
form of government, with a delegate
in Congress and local legislature.

of all matters of detail
