WASHINGTON, August Is, - The
following has been received from
merritt: "On the 7th Admiral Dew.

notification to the Spanish comnan.
der to remove non-com bstants from
the city. On the same date q reply
WAS received expressing thanks for
humane sentiments and saying the
Spanish were without places oi
refuge for non-com bstsnts now with
in the walled town.
"On the ninth instant we sent a
joint note inviting attention to the
suffering in store for the sick and nom
com batants in case it became our du.
ty to reduce the defenses, also set
ting forth the hopeless condition OF
the Spanish forces, surrounded on all
sides by the Squadron in front and no
prospects OF renforcements, and de-
manded surrender as due to every
consideration of humanity. On the
same date we received q reply admit
ting the situation but saying that the
council for defense declared the re-
quest for surrender could not be
granted.
"On the thirteenth joined with navy
in. an attack with the following result:
After about half sn hour of accurate
Smelling of the Spanish lines, Nc.
Arlhur's brigade on the right and
Green's on the left under Anderson,
made vigorous attack and carried
the Spanish works. Our loss is not
accurately known, but is about fifty

was excellent. The cooperation Of
the navy was most valuable. The
troops advanced rapidly on the walled
city upon which n white flag was
shown and the town cspitulated.
Troops occupy Malste, Biuondo
and the walled city of San miguel.
All the important centers are protect
ed, the insurgents kept out and no

sumes two characters. One of them, Joe
Petro, is a French-Canadian, and gives
Gardner an opportunity TO tell stories, give
a recitation, The Wreck of the julie
Plante, and sing his great song, THE
French Convict" in a dialect not frequently
heard on the stage. Karl has been re-
written and is we'll stocked with good mu-
sic. most of which Gardner himself fur
niShes. His voice is as attractive as ever
and his Tyrolean songs always find great
favor with the audiences. The days of Joe
Emmett are recalled by the appearance
here of Mr.. Gardner, who now has the field
to himself In this line Of comedy. THE
Lily" which is among his new songs. is as
tuneful as THE Lilac" an old favorite,
and Captain Karls March, in which lit
tie Heinrich takes part is a taking air. Mr..
Gardner also sang Apple Blossoms, Jack
in the Box, Tell This TO My Sweetheart"
The German Milk Girl" and others. Harry
Sutherland is heard in Irish songs: James
McElhem, in limitations; Emma De Forrest,
in Tyrolean songs, and the Empire Lady
Trio in a popular lot of ballads The charm
of Gardeners quiet acting and delightful
singing is not difficult to understand. His
play is interesting, his company good and
his own work very attractive. The engage
