Caney that the awakening comes.
Before them is thrust a ghastiy picture.
A hamlet which few days ago nestled
peacefully amid the green foothills IS
now a bloody landmark in Nhe path of
war The wanderers expected to find
peace and shelter until Santiago fell In
stead they see houses shattered by shells,
holes torn through roofs, walls rent by
shot. The plaza. once a pretty plot of
fresh green in the center of the village
where mothers and children sat at even
ing. is plowed up by trenches and filled
with significant piles of yellow earth,
the graves of the defenders who fell last
Friday.
Here and there vultures perch upon the
rude mounds If disturbed they flap laZ-
lily away to alight upon the roof of some
nearby cottage, their flight revealing a
hand, a head. foot protruding from the
heap of earth.
Every street in the village Friday had
its trench, manned by brave defenders.
They rest now where they fell. The
breastworks behind which they fought
cover them over.
Every cottage has its quota of wound
ed prisoners, who cannot be removed TO
Siboney on account of lack of transpor-
tation. In some huts rest the bodies of

shelter of few shovelfuls of earth.

SUM- Most of the inhabitants have long
since fled, but hundreds remain who
have no will to move and no place to CO.
Clustered in doorways are groups OF
frightened women, their faces depicting
anxiety and horror.
Under the shady arches of the plaza
colonnade children play at soldering
with the abandoned guns, bayonets and
equipments. Grim war has not driven
the smiles from these baby faces, al
though on many a cheek were the chan
nels of tears shed yesterday for "a faith

Whenever strong gust of wind comes
from the north it brings an odor even
more nauseating than that which fills

church one must tread carefully lest ne

sharpshooters made havoc among our
men from its steeple and their blood
splashed the steps when the American
fire brought them down. An aged priest
moves about giving such consolation as
his trembling voice can make into words.
What wonder is 1t that scores of refu-
gees turned back to Santiago. and then
tunoed again when they thought that
perhaps tomorrow Santiago may multi

THE FL|GHT FOR 4 HAVEN
Scenes Along the Road From
Santiago to Ell Caney.
MISERY OF THE REFUGEES
Story of the Hasty Departure OF
NOn-C0mbatnnts From the DOOM
ed City to Their Only HRrbOr of
Safciy-WOmen and Children Wit
ness the Horrors of War.

New York, July ia Herald corre-
spondent, writing from the front, before
Santiago, July G. says:
Ell Caney, which was a hornets nest in
last Fridays battle, is now a haven to
which thousands of refugees are fleeing
from doomed Santiago and the wrath to
come. All yesterday, last night, and to-
day the broad, white road winding be-
tween sweet scented hedges through
coffee plantations and cocoanut groves
was crowded with a steady stream Of
men, women, and children eagerly TAX
ing advantage of the armistice to escape
from the threatened hail of lead.
1t is a motley crowd. Its appearance is
the best evidence that its departure was
hasty; that it stood not on the order Of
its going. Refined women clad in wrap
pers and tea gowns, with mantillas flung
over their heads, walked in the dusty
road. A few vehicles drawn by decrepit
horses and mules appear now and then.
They are laden with hastily prepared
bundles.
Hidden in these forlorn equipages are
bags and boxes filled with Spanish gold,

which the wealthier residents gathered
before their hasty flight. Two miserable
burros brought away the contents of the
vault of the largest banking house in
Santiago. Sheets and squares of can
vas conceal costly plate.
Little children clinging to their moth
ers' gowns gaze in piteous timidfty at the

DEATH OF JOHN Il, THOMAS.
He Was for Many Years . Leading
Maryland Lawyer.

Mr. John Henry Thomas, for many
years one of the leading lawyers Of Ma
ryland died yesterday afternoon shortly
after l o'clock. at his home 1102 McCul-
loh Street. Baltimore, after an illness of
| several months. He was seventy-four
years of age.
Mr.. Thomas practiced law in Baltimore
for iifty-three years. and up to the time
of his last illness was still in active prac-
| tice. His reputation was not confined
alone to Maryland. but he was regarded
| as one of the best admiralty lawyers in
| the country.
He was born July 4. 1924, at the coun-
| try home of his father. DIR. William
| Thomas. in St. Mary's County.
Mr.. Thomas has appeared in some cell
| ebrated cases, notably that of Mrs.
| Wharton, who was charged with the mur-
der of Gen. Ketchum. Mr.. Thomas. with
Judge A. c. Hagner. defenced her and Sc
| cured her acquittal Mr.. Thomas speech
being still spOkne of as a fine effort. Again
he successfully defended Mrs. Wharton
when she was charged with the attempt
ed murder of Eugene Van Ness. He ap-
peared before the Supreme Court of the
United States in a large number of cases,
and his standing there was with the very
first lawyers of the country. The records
Of the Supreme Court show that he was
one of the ablest counsellors that argued
before 1t and that he lost but one case
there.
Mr.. Thomas was lifelong Democrat
but never took an active part In politics,
except upon one or two rare occasions,
when his instincts were aroused against
disorder and lawlesness. or he thought
he could aid in some much-needed reform.
He was closely identified with the reform
movement in 1859. when the first meeting
of what was then the reform party was
held AT his house.
He stumped the State at that time and
worked with other prominent men TO
overthrow the rule and break the power
OF the Know-nothing party. He was a
candidate during that year for attorney
general on the reform party ticket against
Milton Whitney, but was defeated.
He married in 1851 Miss Leiper. daughter
of the late Judge George Gray Leiper, of
Delaware County, Pa. Mrs. Thomas died
several years ago. and two children-Mr.
George Leiper Thomas. a member of the
Baltimore bar. and Miss Eliza s. Thomas
survive their parents.
Mr.. Thomas was counsel for the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company, the
Allan Line and a number OF other corpor-
atoms. .-.-.s .7 7...' --

STOCK MARK.EI.. LOWER
The Fall Of Santiago Fails to In

Fears of Complications in the Phil
fPpiDes Adv as an Excuse
for the Bear haid.

New York, July 1b.-Stocks at the open
ing this morning were somewhat irregu-
lar. The majority of stocks, however, de-
clined after the first few minutes of trad
ing.
The market made no response whatever
to the higher London prices which came
to hand in appreciation. or the news Of
the surrender of Santiago.
There was little buying demand at the
start and concerted attack was made
on the list affecting general declines.
After the first half hour the selling pres
sure from the professional element in
creased and prices declined sharply in
several directions.
Fears of complications in the Philippine
Islands were advanced as the excuse for
the weakness.
Government bonds were unchanged.
Railroad bonds were firm.
