orators were in the city. General
Toral wanted these there as they were
the principal men. This cable has not
been cut and the men sent in have not
taken it up again. English cable has
been working all the time through to

The Army and Navy Pounding Away
at Santiago de Cuba.
TORAL WOULDN'T SURRENDER.
Shafter Demanded Unconditional Capit-
ulation-His Army Is In Splendid
Condition for Battle-Rein-
fOrcements Have Arrived
and His Troops Have
Strong Intrenchments.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE bonn
bardment of Santiago by land and sea
has begun. At o'clock Sunday after.
noon Admiral Sampson with his battle
ships, and General Shafter, with the
siege guns, which, at an immense cost
of labor, had been placed in position
began to drop shells into the city
This bombardment will continue until
the time is regarded as ripe for land
assault on the city, which will prob
ably be to-day. Then, unless the we'll
laid plans of the American command
ers fall far short of accomplishment,
Santiago must capitulate.
When General Toral offered to sur
render the city on condition that he
be permitted to withdraw his army,
with colors flying, General Shafter
promptly replied that only uncondi-
tional surrender would be considered.
At the same time, he agreed to cable
Torals proposition to Washington and
TO extend the armistic until noon Sun
day to await a reply. Before the
armistice expired, General Skaters de-
clination of Torals offer had been rati-
fed in Washington and Toral had re-
piled in the negative to Skaters de-
mand for unconditional surrender. AS
soon as possible after that, lombard
ment began.
Shortly after midnight the war de-
partment gave out the following dis
patch from General Shafter:
Enemy opened fire few minutes
past with light guns, which were
soon silenced by ours. Very lit tie
musketry firing and the enemy kept
entirely in the intrenchments. Three
men slightly wounded. Will have
considerable forces to-morrow-enough
to completely block all the roads on the
northwest 1 am quite we'll.
"SuAFTEB.
The fact that the bombardment was
scheduled by Shafter to begin so late
in the day created some comment, but
no explanation of it was offered.
Information received by the war de,
partment during the few days of truce
indicate that Shafter has materially
strengthened his position. During the
past week he has received reinforce
ments of both artillery and infantry.
Randolphs battery of twenty-four
guns, which left Key West last Tues
day at midnight, is now in position
before Santiago, and, as one Of the wal
department officials expressed it
"When those long Toms of Randolph's
begin to talk, something will happen
in Santiago"
General Shafter has nearly fifty
siege guns and large number of sew
en-inch mortars, besides light artil
lery, at his disposal. These guns
taken in connection with the work that
can be done by the feet, will, it is be
lieved, carry terror and destruction tc
Santiago.

The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-03-03

Last night couple of gentlemen
in this city thought to play a prac-
tical Joke on one of the clerks in
]. Welsman's store. One of them
hid behind the corner of fence
while the other one accompanied
the man along by the place where
the man was concealed. When
they went to turn the corner Joker
No. 2 jumped up and grabbed Joker
No. | and commenced pounding
him on the head, seemingly with a
sand bag. No. yelled out: "Ohl l
am being killed." and the young
man who was accompanied him
broke and ran, leaving his hat be-
hind, in his haste. Arriving home
his tale was told and the whole
household was thrown into disor-
der and excitement and when they
went to give the supposed murder
ed man help he was of course gone
off in some alley to laugh at what
he conceived to be a good Joke.
We do not endorse practical Jokes
of this kind for they often lead to
serious results either at the time
they ars being played or afterwards
when the party finds out that he
is the butt of the joke and is be-
ing guyed. The gentlemen who
played this joke, of course, meant
no harm to the young man, and we
hope no bitter feelings will be en-
gendered thereby.

COTTON BELT AFTER 1T.
The St. Louis Southwestern Will Bid
for the Little Rock and Mem
phis Road.


The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
has this to say about the Cotton
Belt in regard to the purchase of
the Little Rock & Memphis rail-
road:
'In spite of the reticence of Cot
ton Belt officials on the rumored
purchase of the Little Rock &
Memphis road by the Cotton Belt,
the impression is growing daily that
such deal is in contemplation.
There is no official in Memphis from
whom anything like authentic in
formation could be had, and neces-
sarlly all that is said upon the sub
iect is more conjecture of healthy
brand and may stand the test OF
time better than is anticipated by
those who persist in discrediting the
rumor.
"a change in the affairs of the
Little Rock and Memphis road has
been impending for several years.
The road is now being operated un-
der receiYership. The sale of the
property has been advertised sever
al times, but always for some rea-
son, the sale was postponed. The
date of the sale, last fixed, is not
far distant now, and this fact has
stimulated speculation as to the
Cotton Belt becoming the owner OF
the property. Taking into consid-
GRAFTON all the circumstances and
conditions it would be safer to haz-
ard the guess that the Cotton Belt
would be the purchaser of the Lit
tie Rock and Memphis property
than to play the second favorite in
a horse race. Everything points to
that conclusion. The Cotton Belt
now, it is said, is virtually an inde-
pendent line. The Goulds holding
less than one half the stocks and
bonds, and it is said to be the in-
tention of the other stockholders,
who are in the majority, to enlarge
and improve the system. The pur-
chase of the Little Rock and
Memphis road would simply be the
initial step toward making the
Cotton Belt one of the best south
western railroad systems in exis
tence. The soundness or unsound-
ness of the rumor will be revealed
in few days, it is confidently ex
pected,"
