who was q pupil at the Washington and

he was not less than feet. Yet his real

dier. After his service as military in
structor at the University Of Wisconsin
he put the Light horse squadron, q
swell company at Milwaukee, through
the regular army discipline and made it
as useful as its giddy uniform was Or
namental.
The translation of Captain Kings
novels into German brought him into
correspondence and acquaintance with
a number of officers of the German
army. Five years ago, largely through
their invitation, he went to Germany
to study the forms of military life there.
This was not an interruption to his
work, for he kept mp his regular work

of German officers. The activity Of the
volunteer army, however, will not leave
much time for literary pursuits, but to
fight the Spaniardsi is the most pleasing
form his vacation could take.-New

WAITING FOR THE REPLY.

Playa Del Este July 8.-General Toral,
the Spanish commander In Santiago, has
been officially informed by General
Shafter OF the complete destruction of
the Spanish fleet and that the American
warships are now free to cooperate
with the army In the reduction OF San
tiago. He has been given such time as
he may deem proper TO consider the ad-
visibility OF capitulation with his gar
rison. Although General Toral is ap-
parently anxious to resist to the bitter
end, the utter hopelessness Of holding
out against a siege by land and sea must
be forcing itself upon him. His losses
have been heavy. The reinforcements
upon which he was counting have not
arrived. General Pando has left him
In the lurch and. 1t is understood. is
making his way across the country to
Havana. The food supply in Santiago
is low and IL is understood that the am
munition is running short. Our position
is being hourly strengthened.
The desperate character OF General
ToraIs determination to continue the
struggle is apparent when IL is known
that the Spanish soldiers have less than
u days ammunition remaining. Had
an assault all along the line been pushed
on the second day OF the fighting last
week. as was contemplated the night
