ATTACK ON SANTIAGO
May Be Delayed Several Days Owing
to Bad Roads.

May Be Delayed Several Days Owing
to Bad Roads.
With the Army, Near Santiago de
Cuba, June 29.--Although only three or
four miles of territory now separate
Gen. Skaters advance column and
the Spanish forces about Santiago, it
is likely several days will elapse be-
fore the assault upon the city is made.
Owing to the bad condition Of the
roads, the machine and field guns can
be hauled to the front only with the
greatest difficulty. Much Of the time
has been devoted to this work, and the
guns now are well on the way to the
advance position held by Gen. Wheel
er. The work can hardly be complet-
ed for two or three days, and the at
tack cannot be made before then.
Seven thousand American troops and
5000 of Gen. Garcia's forces are en-
camped within sight of Santiago, and
the American flag is still floating all
along the way from Baiquiri to the
outskirts of the beleaguered city.

send back to Tampa as many of the
transports which are with his expedi-

mand the next expedition which leaves
the United States. Just what this is to
he and where it is to go could not be-
Iascertained. The number of reinforce

will be an expedition nearly as fomid-
liable as that which left Tampa two
weeks ago. After Santiago has been

From the annual meeting of the AM
erican Medical Association at Denver
comes a message of hope to every con-
sumptive sufferer in the world. 1t was
contained in a paper on "Surgery OF the
Lung" read before the assembled repre-
sentatives of American medical science
by no less prominent physician than
DR.. ]. B. Murphy Of Chicago. Il can
with safety say" said he, that unless
the lung is entirely gone a permanent
cure can be effected" This was the es-
sential deduction from his technical
treatise on the treatment of tubercu-
aosis by collapsing the lung by the in
PRODUCTION Of nitrogen gas into the
pleural cavity. This In unsclentlf1c par
lance gives the lung rest, and nature
effects the cure. Without discussing
the scientific problem which DR.. Muir
ply says has been fully demonstrated
by successful experiment, we can on
ly express the hope that all ne claims
for his discovery may prove true. Pull
monary troubles bring distress and sor-
row to myriads. The disease is so SUBJ
tie, it's symphony so Elusive, its prog
ress so stealthy and the prescriptions
for it's cure so varied and deceptive that
anything absolutely in the nature of an
absolute remedy must be hailed as the
greatest boon to infected humanity
vouchsafed by modern medical science.
The name of the man who robs the ba-
cilli of tuberculosis of their terrors is
entitled to a place beside those OF
Hervey and Jenner..

London, June 29.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Spain is in state of ferment, of transit
ton without parallel during the pres
ent century. Troubles of the gravest
kind are brewing all over the prov
inces. Every political and social insti-
tuition is threatened in turn and the
least nervous among far-sighted poll
ticianS apprehend a complete debacle.
But the failure of the national defense
is not alone accountable for this. In
credible as it may seem, the majority
OF Spaniards have absolutely no inter-
est in the war and even display a will
l1ngness to forget the past and to en-
deavor to rub along without colonies.
Inc statesmen responsible for the loss
OF the colonies are utterly reckless and
the indifference of the people to the
government, particularly among the
middle classes, is unparalleled in his
tory. Hunger and misery are making
themselves felt throughout the coun-
try. There will be soon $4,000 unem-
ployed in Catalonia, and everywhere
else there are similar accounts of dis
tress, going from bad to worse day by
day. The government is painfully con-
SSlOuS duu is now
Taking Energetic Measures,
but all of these are of a coercive char
acter. Troops which might have sue
cessfully defended the Philippines are
being massed in provinces where there
is any danger of the population assum-;
ing an aggressive turn, while money is
being spent on warships that will not
fire a shot. The government is unpre-
pared to go on, but it declares that no
amount of dictatorial oppression will
hinder the country from rising and
manifesting its will. What is more
manifest and unfortunate is that the
dynasty shares in the unropularity of
the government The repression is be-
ing employed solely in favor of the
monarchy, which has remained utterly
impressive during til eterrible national
crisis. While waiting to witness the
confirmation of the young monarch,
heard expressions Of anti-dynastic SEN
tlment OF the most uncompromising
tone, which bore no good to the boy
king II Spains colonies are not worth
lighting for, said one nobleman,
Spain's dynasty is still less so. If our
soldiers were not sent to fight the
Yankees we shall take care they are

Cubans With the Advance Guard
Are Good for Nothing.
Off Santiago, June 29.-The Cubans

good behavior Of their comrades at
Guantanamo, seem to be utterly worth
less. All day they sit in the shade of

stomachs and with not a bit of tobacco
for their pipes, build roads all day I'M

sheathed lead bullets and brass tips
on top, which tears the flesh horribly,
while the small brass sDlinters cause

explosive bullets, and are used in the
Remingtons. They also cut small
cross through the end of the Mauser

SPANISH STRATEGISTS.
How They Figure Out the Campaign
in Cuba.

London, June 29.-The Madrid CORE
spondent Of the Daily Mail says: The
minister Of war expects the first mill
tary reinforcements to reach Santiago
Thursday. The report is confirmed
that Spanish troops at Guantanamo
are marching to attack the American
rear guard there There is also q
movement of other troops throughout
the whole eastern part of Cuba in Or
der to carry out a concerted plan of
action. 1t seems also to be the gen.
eral belief that Admiral Cervera's
squadron will act on the aggressive
during the coming attack on Santiago.
The governor of Santiago, it is assert
ed, has ample supply Of provisions,
munitions and coal. Admiral Camara,
it is supposed, is now traversing the
Suez canal without difficulty. as he has
sent no dispatch to the contrary The
announcement that an American
squadron is coming to Spain attracts
very little attention. All available
men-of-war have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness. The harbors
are mostly protected by torpedoes and
the various garrisons have been re-
viewed as to their efficiency.
