SPANISH POSITION DESPERATE
General TOral Deserted by PandO-Nt
HOpe-Urged to Surrender.

Copyright by Associated Press.)
Before Santiago, via Playa del Este,
July Z, Z p. m.-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 Amer
lean warships are now free to cooper
ate with the army in the reduction of
Santiago. He has been given such
time as he may deem proper to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of captivating.
Although General Toral is apparently
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
ave been heavy. The reinforcements
upon which he was counting have not
arrived. General Pando has left him
in the lurch, and it is understood is
making his way across the country to
Havana.
The food supply in Santiago is low
n it is understood that the ammu-
milton is running short. Our position
is being hourly strengthened.
The cable operators who left Santi-
ago yesterday have been sent back in
order that General Toral may be able
to communicate freely with General
Blanco n the Madrid government.
The prospects for the c%apitulation Of
santiago without further fighting grow
with each hour of delay. The arch
bishop of Santiago has applied to
General Blanco to surrender the city.

Raleigh, n. c., July THE strength
of the Second regiment tonight is 1921
officers and men. There are twenty
two of these field and staff, and Com
panies c, D, E, G, H, and L, are full
having 100 officers and men. The
company from Fayetteville has only
Sc. None of the others has 100. There
were two enlistments today.
Forty recruits for Raleigh's two
companies at Fort Macon left today.
Forty went from Franklin. Hack
ney's contingent did not go. He went
and says he wants to get permission
to have 100 officers and men.
The adjutant general says hat out
of $40 men ordered to go to the regi-
ment yesterday only 100 went.
A general ordered was published to-
day appointing Major Charles L.
Davis, Sixth Infantry, U. S. A, acting
assistant a%djutant general of the state
guard.
Rev. w. NJ. Jones is appointed chap
lain of the Second regiment, state
guard, and G. B. Patterson, captain of
the MaXton company of the guard.
H. l.. Stainer resigns as captain, and
J. P. Meadows as second lieutenant of
the Oxford company of the guard.
The adjutant general accepts Will
liam Logan's band, of Greensboro, as
the negro regiment band. He says
Colonel Young of the regiment has
been given authority to nominate Of
ficers for companies of his regiment.
At the dress parade of the Second
regiment today there was a large
attendance and the men looked much
better that at any time during their
hospital. One, Private Abel, will
probably die of meningitis within the
next t~wenty-four hours. He is from
Morganton. Officers of the Gastonia
company are intensely indignant at
the action of the physician of the city
hospital in forcing the return of Pri-
vate Bryan to the camp hospital after
Bryand had been placed in the city
hospital and the officers had arranged
to pay for his care. They will ask an
investigation.
Adjutant Robert l.. Gray and Cap
tain Percy Gray are lamenting the
loss of their swords, which, strange to
say were deliberately stolen at the Of
ficers' ball Tuesday night.
Fifteen cases of measels are in the
hospital and about as many cases of
malarial trouble.
Supplies for all recruits are being
issued. Three hundred and twenty
five more rifles and sets of equipments

1.-THE RIDDLE OF THINGS THAT ARE. ."

We walk in world where no man reads
The riddle of things that are
From a tiny fern IN the valleys heart
To the light Of the largest STIR,
Yet we know that the pressure of life is hard
And the silence of death is deep
As we fall and rise on the tangled way
That leads TO the gate of Sleep.
We know that the problems of sin and pain
And the passions that lead TO crime
Arc the mysteries locked from age 10 age
In the awful vault OF Time.
Yet we lift our weary feet and strive
Through the mire and mist to grope
And find ledge on the mount Of Faith
In the morning land of Hope

We hear great deal OF the art oil
singing, of music as an entertainment,
of music as a recreation. 1t is high time
we heard something of music as help
n practical help In order TO do this, we
must have only few hymns New
tunes and new hymns every Sunday
make poor congregational singing. Flt'
ty hymns are enough for 90 years. The
Episcopal church prays the same prayers
every Sabbath and year after year and
century after century. For that reason
they have the hearty responses Let us
take hint from that fact and let n;
sing the same songs Sabbath after Sab
bath Only in that way can we come to
the full force of this exercise. Twenty
thousand years will not wear out the
hymns Of William Cowper, Charles
Wesley and Isaac Watts Suppose now
each person in an audience has brought
all the annoyances of the last 800 days.
Fill the room to the ceiling with sacred
song, and you would drown out all
those annoyances Of the last 800 days
and you would drown them out forever.
