SsAich was from General Shafter. This
dispatch announced that General Toral,

Santiago when the latter was wounded.
md declined to surrender uncondition-
aAS and that the bOmbardment of the
foun would be begun by the army and
navy about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The fact that the bombardment was
ocAeduled by Shafter to begin so late
In the day created some comment, but
nD explanation of 1t was offered. In
a4sWer to question bearing upon that
oslnt, General Corbin said: Il have
n0 the slightest information as to the
reasons General Shafter had for be-
ginning the bombardment at the hour
he uames. but it was probably because
he was ready just at that time. You
CA speculate about that as well as l
