Friday evening General Shafter
said to the Associated Press corre-
spondent at his headquarters:
''We have Caney in our possess
sion and the whole crest of the
plateau at Caney. We have taken
some 1000 prisoners on this side
of Santiago. General Lawton is
moving to the left to join the line
with General Wheeler. The Span
iards have been driven back into
the city and tomorrow morning
we will take and enter it."
This statement was fully con-
firmed by what the correspondent
had seen a half hour before from
Captain Grimes's artillery posi-
tion, which was still the best point
of vantage from which to survey
the field. At sunset, as the corre-
spondent stood on the summit be-
hind the cannon that had done
such gallant execution during the
day, our infantry, in possession of
the big blockhouse opposite our
original center, were yet persist
emily and cheerfully popping away
at the Spaniards, who were skulk-
ing behind the lesser intrench-
ments and the refugees between
them and the city. It appeared
when darkness came that not
Spaniard would be found outside
the city proper in that particular
vicinity. Most noticeable was the
lack of any responsive fire from
the Spaniards, further evidence.

OFF SANTIAGO, July ?, via
Port Antonio and Kingston, July
;, 1915 a. m.-Admiral Sampson
bombarded the Notifications of the
harbor of Santiago for the fourth
time this morning. The bom-
bardment lasted from $40 to 7:45.
The damage was more severe than
IN previous bombardments. The
enemy's fire was silenced, Moro
Castle was badly knocked about,
and the eastern, western and
Punta Gorda batteries were torn
up IN many places. The Spanish
flag, which has flown all the time
on MORO Castle, was shot down
by the Oregon. No casualties
were reported in the fleet. The
enemy's fire was light, though
several ships came near being hit
by shells. One of these missiles
passed over the forecastle of the
flagship New York while Admiral
Sampson was on the bridge.

War Department Requested to Send Large,
Equipped Hospital Ship at Once
Launch and Boats for Conveying the Wounded from
Shore and Forty Medical Officers Also Asked
Santiagos Batteries Bombarded Saturday.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The
President and Secretary of War,
through private dispatch coming
from the battlefield, near Santiago,
learned this evening that the en-
gagement was resumed this morn
ing and has continued all day.
The wounded are coming in rap
idly and the indications point to
heavy losses. The dispatch does
not indicate decisive result in any
direction.
Owing to the many conflicting
reports of losses of the American
troops in yesterdays engagement
it has been thought best by the
War Department officials to make
public the text of General Shafter's
lastdispatch, received this morn
ing at o'clock. 1t was as follows:

to-day's casualties. A large and
thoroughly equipped hospital ship
should be sent here at once to care
for the wounded. The chief sur
geon says he has use for forty
more medical officers. The ship
must bring a launch and boats
for conveying the wounded.
"SHAFTER,
"Major General, COMMANDING"
At 11:15 o'clock Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin, in leaving his office
for the night, announced that no
word had been received from Gen.
Shafter. General Corbin said
there should be no concern over
the absence of advices from the
first expedition to the Philippines,
as it might take a week after its
arrival at Manila for word to
reach the department.

HENRY STANLEY'S WIFE.
She Is Called the artist Laureate of
the Street Arab

A writer in the Temple Magazine
calls the wife of Henry M. Stanley
'the artist laureate of the street arab. !"
It will be remembered that Mrs
Stanley was the beautiful Dorothea
Tenant, whom Millais immortaliZed in
his picture Yes or No." She at first
refused Stanley, reversing her decision
when he returned from his African ex-
plcrations five years later. The writer
of the Temple Magazine article says
that Mrs. Stanley began her studies of
ragamuf1ns and babies when she was
hardly more than a baby herself. She
studied in the Slade school under Sir
E. Poynter, the present president of
the Royal Academy. She also studied
three years in Paris under Henner,
and in 18S1-18S2 Bastien Lepage
painted in her little studio at Rich
mond terrace. It was there he painted
his Flower Girl" and 'Shoe Black

earnings. The first year I could not
afford to heat it. the earnings were so

heat it, and the third year to achieve
hot water pipes and stove" 1t was
said that, in accordance with her hus-
bands wishes, Mrs Stanley gave up
painting, after her marriage. If it is
true, she has resumed it and has lost
none of her old ambition She says
that she still looks forward ito doing
something splendid some day. but
that she is rather haunted by those
lines of Frederic Locker, the youth
pursuing his ideal, who is always run
ming before him:
Lightly I sped, wien hopes were high,
And youth beguiled the chase;
l follow, follow still, but 1
Shall never see her face.
To many there is little that is pleas
ing in Mrs. Stanley's pictures; there
is certain stiffness in the drawing.
and she is in no sense a colorist She
has, however, a large following in
London, and is usually hung on the
line-indulgence frequently denied bet
ter work.

No thanks, my dear,"-for it's fact
That I prefer milder sort.
Her waistcoat fits her like a glove,
Her taste in ties is rich and rare;
Her jacket is a cut above
The ones which I'm obliged to wear,
Indeed, her toys so smartly built
Fill me with envy, I confess,
And some day I shall be compelled
To ask her for her ships address.
She cycles, crickets, footballs, too,
And COLTS a game that she can play;
Jove! When she swings her niblick,

Have got to keep some yards away.
She'd have me join in her rough

But frmness on this point 1 show,
Because the pastimes she affects
Fatigue fellow, don't you know
I have not asked this virile Jack
To share my pleasures and my woes
For up to now I seem to lack

But, doubtless, when her oats are

She'll drop upon one stalwart
knee
She has a most tremendous nerve
And win a timid "Yes'' from me!

HISTORIC BELT BUCKLES.

Hardly of less historical interest
than the famous liberty bell of Phil
adelph1a was the old clock bell which
announced the hour on July 4, 1875,
when the declaration of independence
was promulgated. The bell had been
used in earlier days to call assem-
blages of the citizens of the Quaker
city, but after the Revolution it was
lost. Recently the Philadelphia Press
discovered that the relic had been de-
stroyed. It had been bought for a
few hundred dollars by the Roman
Catholic church of st. Augustine for
it's steeple. The whole clock machin-
cry was bought, but the question is
yet unanswered as to whether the
dials were sold or not The church
was burned down in 1874. Several OF
the firemen collected from the mass
of bell metal pieces broken off by the
fall of the tower and carried them
home as souvenirs. Several of the
fire laddies had these nodded into
buckles of their organization, the
Humane Engine company, and one Of
the men promises to beQueath te

try may have another remembrance

CARE OF SEX RATIO.

Data which have been gathered
through long periods of time in
various countries show that the ratio
of boys oSgirls in the birth rate is
lower in cities and large towns than
among the overworked, scanty fed
and badly sheltered peasants of
Europe; that it is less among the
weIl-to-do in the cities than it is
among the poor; that it increases
after long wars and in time of agri-
cultural depression and low wages,
and after long famine, and that while
the normal birth-rate is about 106
boys to 100 girls, it may rise as much
as one or two per cent. under condi-
tons of great hardship.
Young hubsands are seldom able to
effect any great improvement in good
living, but all may experiment in
hardships and privations if they
wish, and if the head Of a house
chooses to conduct it as if his house
and country were in a state of siege
by relentless enemy, he may do so
in the assurance we'll warranted by

RULES IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

When an officer in the Russian
army is insulted, military court of
honor sits to decide upon the action
to be taken, and he had to abide by
the decision of the court. Not long
ago, two young officers of the Russian
army quarrelled while drinking to-
gether, and one slapped the other
across the cheek with his open hand.
They we're intimate friends. and
when in his sober senses the aggressor
humbly apologized for the affront to
his brother officer, who cordially &C
copied it. A regimental court of hon
or had to be held, however, and it
was decreed that the officers should
fight, though both were much averse
so. A duel was therefore
arranged at twenty PAGES, and the
young officer who had received the
affront. and had forgiven his friend
was hit in the hip and crippled fol

science that if he have 1000 children
he may hope for about dozen more

could expect.
The birthrate of each species, like
it's natural term of life, is something
which is characteristic of the species,
or natural, and it has been fixed for
the advantage of the species. All
know that, while men die at old ages
and for many causes, there is a natu-
raj term of life, and that while a
does not differ much in size or
weight, Or in general activity from
cat, may live for centuries So it
is with the birth-rate Each species
| has characteristic birthrate, and
| that which on the average is most
advantageous to the species. Animals
which live long or are little exposed
to accident and those able to protect
and care for their young have a low
birth-rate, while those which are
much exposed to danger, or short
lived or unfit for giving their young
| parental care and protection, have a
| high birth-rate.
The hen, which is short-lived and
much exposed to enemies, may lay
200 eggs a year, but the Mother
Carey chickens, which are said to be
the most numerous of all birds, lay
but one egg a year, but these are
laid on sandbars in the ocean, where
there is little danger to the eggs or
young.
So it is with the ratio between the
sexes. When a preponderance of one
sex is greatly advantageous to it's
species, that sex predominates in the
birth-rate. When one sex is pecu-
liarly exposed to danger during in
fancy and youth, this danger is met
and provided for by nature through
an excess in the birth-rate of that
sex. Among young frogs there are
about 140 females and 60 males in
each 200, but when frogs are three
and four years old the sexes are equal.
AS female frogs are exposed to dan
ger in the early part of their lives,
an excess of female frogs is produced.
Among mankind infant mortality is
much greater among boys than among
girls, and the birth-rate is adjusted
to this danger by an excess of boy
birth.
1t is undoubtedly possible for man
to change by long generations of
selective breeding the birth-rate of
domesticated animals or the ratio
between the sexes, but no one
familiar with the subject can hope
for any sudden radical change through
the application of empirical rules

quaint fancies. There are miniature
knapsacks, some bearing the letters
~. ST. others sporting Dewey's pic
ture, and still others ornamented
with the national coat of arms. Then
there are mounted cannon, which, a
man who had visited Havana before
the declaration of war remarked,
''were very much like those in MORO
Castle, moss and all.'' There are
shells, large and small, and tents,
with soldiers on guard in front, and
in which are boxes holding about
half pound of candy each. In great
variety, too, are sailor and soldier
hats, all gayly bedecked with the ma
tional colors, either in flags or ribbon
bands. Vying in favor with the hats
come drums of all sizes and boxes
shaped like shields, decorated with
tiny flags.
