STRAIGHT TIP
Shafter Has Positive Orders Not
to Let Santiago Spaniards
Escape.
It Has Been Feared They Would
Evacuate the Town in the
Night.
Dispatches Received Indicate His
Lines Now Surround the
City.
Several Official Dispatches From
the Front Are Given to the
Public.

WASHINGTON, July l2.-Notice from
General Shafter to the effect that he
proposed to begin the assault and
bombardment Of Santiago Monday. In.
tensified the interest with which news
from the front is being awaited at the
war department, and there were many
inquiries at the Office Of the adjutant
general, beginning in the early morn.
ing, for the latest advices. To all of
these, tut one answer was returned:
General Shafter had been given free
hand to deal with the situation. subject
to one condition, namely. that the
spanh hrds Must be Captured
and he had not notified the war depart.
ment as to the details Of his plan,
further than was innicated in the dis.
patches made public. The belief here
is that the affair Of Sunday was Of little
impo1 tance. being perhaps but feint
on the part Of the Spaniards TO un.
cover the American batteries or to dis
cover some weak spot which might be
made the point OF attack when q sortie
is made, il it comes 10 that. The Of.
ficials here do not conceal their appre.
hension that the enemy may escape
from Santiago under cover Of darkness.
and are consequently relieved each day
when the dispatches from the front
show that they still occupy the town.
The president himself was so much
concerned over the possible escape Of
the Spanish forces. that he directed the
sending Of explicit orders to GeneIal
Shafter TO
rrevent 1t at All Hazards.
This fact, taken in connection with the
generals dispatch Of Sunday formed
the basis for the opinion expressed a,
the war department that Skaters at
tack would not be made Immediately
1t was gathered from these
reports that he had no,
succeeded in extending his
ines clean around the city, and it is
feared that if he commenced the at
tack before completing the circumval
lation, the enemy under the strength
of his attack might escape through the
uncovered northwestern section, aut
might retreat TO Manzanillo over tn,
road traverscd by the reinforcement!
that las. reached Santiago. Now, how
ever. Shafter reports that he expects t'
complete his lines during the day. pre-
sumably using for the purpose the re
Inducements which reached him Sat
urday and Sunday. and it is expected
that the attack will be no longer de
layed. Several kilograms were received
at the navy, department over nigh
from Admiral Sampson. 1t is saiC
that they did not relate to the at,acl
on Santiago. but touched the organiza
ton Of Watson's expedition. and tn
movement OF certain transports whicl
had been the object of inquiry.

the United States and Phoenix have boycctted French lingerie. German! made a few interfering dashes with u; in the east. It was called to halt bJ Diplomat Dewey, but not in time to save the Germans from certain antipa- thy in the minds of many Americans and the downfall of the sausage mar 1et in this country.
 It is difficult at this time to estimate the spread and intensity of feeling in these particulars. But little thing are sometimes strongly indicative cf storm or calm.
 Saturday night there was a rafH7 for a lady's gold watch at the Gem mercial hotel. It was a successful raffle from financial standpoint. The lady was satisfied, the boys had oceans of laugh and amusement and the bar did a good business. But the motives of one man have been criticised and questioned ever since
 Up to date there has been no solu- tion offered acceptable to the different pushes" These are the facts:
 Jim Bark was highly interested in the proceedings and he watched every throw of the dice, carefully marking down the result. After everybody who had taken chances had turned the box it was found that tie existed be- tween George H. N Luhrs and Perry Polk. Everybody knows that MT. Luhrs is a German and everybody knows that he is true blue American and one Of the best men on earth. Everybody knows that Mr. Polk is a colored gentleman and one of the best barbers in the world
 Jim Bark, so it is alleged, and Jim does not deny it, took MT. Luhrs one side and by some hocus-pocus racket, backed by S10 bill, Deweyed him out of the race and shied his own castor into the ring against Mr. Polk And MT. Polk won the watch.
 Now the question is as to Jim Bark's S motives. Has he got it in for Ger many? Does he pose as the champion of the prerogatives of the colored race? Or did he have it in for both of them and fail in his calculations9
 All of these things may be made plain some day.
