All That Is Feared of the Span.ards
 at Santiago.

Washington, July 1.-The belief here is that the affair of yesterday at Santiago was of little importance, be- ing but feint to uncover the Ameri- can batteries or to discover some. weak spot which might be made the point of attack in sortie. Officials here do not conceal an apprehension that the enemy may escape from Santiago under cover of darkness and conse- quently are relieved each day when dispatches from the front show that they still occupy the town. The president is so much concerned over the possible escape of the Spanish forces that he has directed the send ing of explicit orders to Shafter to prevent il at all hazards.

HE HAS HAD ENOUGH.
Segasta Would Shift the Burden to
 Other Shoulders.

London, July 1.-The Times Mad rid correspondent says Senor Sagasta went to the palace today and rendered his resignation and that of the cabinet. It is said he advised the queen regent to appoint a new cabinet largely con- sisting of the military element, which would not necessarily mean the adop- tion of warlike policy, but probably the reverse.
 It is generally expected the resigna- ton would be accepted, but the result may possibly be merely a partial re- construction of the cabinet Ministers are now in conference and Senor Sagasta has doubtless communicated to them an account of his audience with the queen regent.
