Echoes From the Bloody Battle of Santl-

Awaits Reinforcemonts Before Making
Final Attack.

From the heat and carnage for the
battlefield of Santiago, where for
four days the American forces
have pressed forward against an en-
trenched enemy. Gen. Shafter sent
the following dispatch to Wash ington
Sunday, summarizing the situation:
"Playa del Este, July 8.
"To Secretary of War, Washington:
Camp, near Sevila, Cuba, July 3.
"We have the town we'll invested on
the north and east, but with very
thin line. Upon approaching it we
find it of such a character and the de-
lenses SO strong it will be impossible
to carry it by storm with my present
force. Our losses up to date will ag-
gregate thousand, but the Lip has
not yet been made. But little sickness
outside of exhaustion from intense heat
and exertions of the battle of the day
before yesterday and the almost con-
slant fire which is kept up on the

MELONS GALORE.
Texas Watermelon Festival at the Omaha
Exposition.

Exposition.
The state Of Texas gave q watermel.
lon festival at the Omaha exposition
Friday at 5 o'clock. An immense pile
of lucious melons of most extraordinary
size which the State had on exhibition
in the agricultural building were given
to the visitors by the Texas commits
sioners. The fruit was eaten on the
ground, long tables having been erec-
ted for that purpose near the agricultu-
building. The feast was enjoyed by
several thousand people. President
Johnson, of the Texas commission and
Superintendent Atwater, Of the Texas
exhibit, made short talks about the re-
sources of their state and few re-
marks by General Manager Clarkson
concluded the exercises. Then the as
sault on the great piles Of melons be-
gan. Arthur Nelson, superintendent
Of the Missouri agricultural exhibit
managed the force Of men with the
long knives who carved the fruit. The
unique festival will be followed by
others of Q similar nature, Missouri
furnishing the apples, California grapes
and oranges and other states supply
ing what is most abundant.

forces had taken every available pound;
only by this official distribution of ra-
tons to the foreign colony could they
be kept from starvation. Then came
the brief but graphic recital of the ef-
feet of the American attack from land
aud sea. The bursting of shells from
our fleet had done the greatest damage
inside of the city.
Buildings were riddled with rife
shot and mown down with the huge
she'll and solid projectiles from the
ships. Most serious of all the Spanish
commander, Gen. Linares, occupying
O place similar to that TO Gen. Shafter,
of the American army, was seriously
wounded. This last fact had been
grudgingly admitted from Madrid, but
the report reaching here left no room
for doubt as to the seriousness Of this
feature. With it was the further fact
that the Spanish casualties even be-
hind entertainments, ran up to thou
sand and was equal to that of the fear
less men who fought in the open.

FATE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Germany, France aud Russia Contemplate

Germany, France aud Russia Contemplate
Interference in the Affairs Of America.
On the best authority the CORES
pendent of the Associated Press in
Berlin is informed that Germany,
France and Russia have reached an
understanding relative to the Philip
pine Islands, to the effect that these
three powers do not intend to actively
interfere until after the war has
ceased, when they will actively inter-
fere to prevent the United States and
Great Britain from getting the whole
of the Philippines.
When the war is over an information
oil conference will be proposed to settle
the questions regarding the Philip
pines.
All the great powers will join, in
Guiding the United States and Spain.
It appears certain that Germany will
then demand a slice Of the Philippine
Islands or other compensation in the
far East.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has confederation for the above
facts from authentic sources.
The German government has or.
dered that three cruisers be kept in
West Indian waters.
In spite of the war the German ex-
ports to America are as large as ever.

PRAISE FOR AMERICANS.
British Periodicals Generous In Dealing
Out Laudatory Remarks.

ouI AtUUulOry heNlarhSs
The London Daily Graphic, in its
editorial observes: "The signal gal
lantry and heroism displayed by bath
Spaniards and Americans must be rec
ognized. The behavior of the Amer
leans sends thrill Of pride through
out the Anglo-Saxon world. The
story of the splendid manner in which
the Rough Riders carried San Juan is
instinct with the indominitable spirit
of Balakalavia.''
The Daily Graphic says, however,
that the "Blunder lies deeper than
any mere temporary miscalculation,"
adding that "the Americans cast their
net too widely, as it might have been
better to have left Santiago and Ma
nilla alone and to have concentrated
their efforts on Havana"
The Daily News says: ''The pres
ent fourth Of July will be memorable.
Events seem to be tending to fulfill
ment Of the remarkable prophesy
made in 1890, that when the United
States once began to busy itself with
the affairs of the world it would stretch
out it's hands to Great Britain"

BALLOON IN BATTLE

Fleated Above at Santiago and Was OF
Inestimable Value.
A special from the scene of military
operations, says: "The military bsl-
looms used by the signal corps for the
purpose Of obtaining accurate infor-
nation of the location of the enemy
and their defenses, proved of 1nesti-
mable service in yesterdays engage
ment.
"The balloon foated just over the
tree tops, and was easily guided along
three miles of the road toward tho
lines of the enemy.
"Whenever it halted for the purpose
of taking o photograph of the fortif-
cations below, the Spaniards seized the
occasion for taking pot shots at the
midair monster. At one time the big
balloon hung over San Juan, not over
500 yards from the enemy, and for five
minutes the Spaniards below tried in
vain to puncture the air bag.

GERMANY'S OPPORTUNITY.
A British Morning Paper Discusses the
Attitude of Germany.

A British Morning Paper Discusses the
Attitude of Germany.
The London Morning Post says, ed
itorially:
eve fail to see why the possibility
of Germany desiring to obtain
port or On island in the Philippines
should excite indignation in the United
States. We also fail to see how the
United States can prevent Germany
from having her own way in the mat
ter. The Americans have not force to
spare to fight Germany, and they hard
ly expect any other power to under
take that difficult task for them.
"If Germany chooses to make o
claim, her opportunity is well chosen.
"The question of right hardly comes
in. If America obtains the bulk of
the Philippines by conquest, she can
scarcely pretend to q better moral
basis for their tenure than German
claim founded on the power to make it
good for small norton of the group"

use it for the present. Gen. Wheeler
is seriously ill and will probably have

is also very i'll, confined to his bed.
Gen. Hawkins slightly wounded in
foot during sortie, enemy made last
night, which was handsomely repulsed.
The behavior of the troops was magni
ficent. Gen. Garcia reported he holds
the railroad from Santiago to San Luis
and had burned @ bridge and removed
some rails; also that Gen. Pando has
arrived at Palma and that the French
consul, with about four hundred
French citizens, came in to his line
yesterday from Santiago. Have di-
rected him to treat them with every
courtesy possible.
"SHAFTER, Major General"
Secretary Alger sent the following
reply to Gen. Shafter:
"To Gen. Shafter:
"The president directs me to say
that you have the gratitude and thanks
of the nation for the brilliant and eff
fective work of your noble army on
Friday, July 1st, the steady valor and
heroism of officers and men thrill the
American people with pride. The
country mourns the brave men who
fell in battle. They, he added, are
new names to our roll of heroes.

Secretary of War"
The dispatch speaks in itself, and
Adult. Gen. Corbin said, tells Of des-
pera!e fight that our gallant troops
have been in. It was received at noon
Sunday, after o lull of nearly thirty
six hours in the official information
from the field.
There was neither time nor DISPOSE
ton to take account of what had gone
on when the fact was plain that the
American army had fought its way inch

a dense tropical vegetation, steadily ad-
vancing and beating back the foe, TAX
Imposition after position, until as Gen.
Shafter reported the town was well in
vested on the north and east by the
tight drawn outlines of the American
troops. There was o sufficient tribute
| to the valor of our brave men, and it
silenced all cavil over the position as
presented to Gen. Shafter. This
was time for reinforcements and
towards the execution of this every
effort of the administration was OF
once turned. But there was other
information of different tenor COM
ing about the same time. The Amer
lean army was not alone feeling the
effects of this three days shock of
arms. Definite, positive information
was at hand that Santiago had been
literally torn to pieces, and that in the
wreck and ruin of demolished build
ings the Spanish casualties numbered
fully 1000.
This was fitting offset to any
qualms raised by the reports from the
American lines. This information
came from one of the foreign consuls
stationed at Santiago, who reported to
the representative Of his country in
Washington the fearful havoc which
was wrought by the American army
and the feet. The distress Of the city
even before the battle was clearly
shown by the action of this consu.
in serving out rations of one-hal1
pound daily to his fellow country
men, few hundred in number, fol
the last month. Evidently there was
no food to buy. The Spanish military

inficting much damage to the defenses
of the place. Spanish gunboats, &C
cording to this dispatch, opened fire
upon the American ships, which then
