Kingston, Jamaica, June 4-Advices
were received today to the effect that
battle was fought either Thursday night
or Friday morning at Santiago. but as
yet no details of the engagement have
been received here.
On Thursday evening the press boats.
which have been keeping close company
with the American fleet since Tuesdays
bombardment. were ordered to retire ten
miles off Santiago. This order was doubt
less due to the feeling among the naval
officers that the presence of non-com-
batants in the thick of the fight was a
drawback TO them, and that It would
tance offshore, where their safety would
cause no anxiety on board the warshlps.
This action was taken by the corre-
spondents to mean that battle was i'm
pending, and later their belief was con-
frmed when the American fleet number
ing fifteen vessels of all classes. prepared
for action the same night.
Twenty Vessels Sighted.

AS the ship steered across the channel
the forward port powder charge was to
be exploded. Then as the stern swung
into position the anchor lashed on the
starboard quarter was to be let go and the
other six charges exploded in succession.
A catamaran and a life boat were slung
aft on the starboard side, ready for the
men to drop into them.
The crew in the steam launch watched
the course of the collier with straining
eyes. The moon had sunk below the hori-

mac dressed IN full uniform. The six
men were at their posts, clad in their
underclothes to aid their escape in case
they had to swim long distance.
The watchers saw the steamer head
straight for Estrella Point, saw her swing
hard across the channel, apparently un-
discovered, heard the fire of the seven
charges, and then began screaming and
flashing from the guns of the Spanish
ships and batteries that hid the rest from

A BATTLE THIS WEEK.
Army Officials Expect the Capture
of Santiago at Once.


of Santiago at Once.
With every assurance that the Spanish
feet al Santiago cannot avoid capture or
destruction. the Navy officials are appa-
rently satisfied with the work of the Navy
up to the present time, and unless some
thing unexpected occurs nothing startling
will be done by the Navy until the arri-
val Of Gen. Skaters army at Santiago.
This is the impression of naval experts
and there is every reason to believe that
it is the correct one.
The Navy will now do a little waiting
and rest while. as 1t were. preparatory
to striking crushing blow in conjunc-
ton with the army at Santiago.
The department heads and bureau
chiefs gave clear manifestation of their
satisfaction yesterday by not doing any
work at the State. War and Navy build
ing
1t Was the quietest Sunday at the de-
partment since the slowing up of the
Maine. Neither Secretary Long, Secreta-

called at the Bureau OF Navigation every
Sunday since the war began. Yesterday

their desks Very few were seen in the
building yesterday. The office of Adjt.
Gen. Corbln was open several hours during
the morning, but was closed during the
rest Of the day.
The War Department was even more de-
serted than the Navy Department and
this is considered as signifying that the
movements Of the army against Santiago
are being worked out a the other end of
that lne-that is, the South. The War
Department has Issued the general orders
necessary for the embarking of troops
Gen. Shafter and his officers and men are
working out details.
The American fleet is lying of Santiago
awaiting the arrival of the army when
both vi" combine in joint attack upon
the enemy.
The vanguard of Gen. Skaters army is
believed to be at Santiago at this time.

A NEW BUILDING.
William Hahn & Co. Branching
Out

Out.
During the past week the old building at the
southeast corner OF Seventh and Streets, or
New York Avenue. has been torn down On this
site William Hahn & Co. the shoe dealers, intend
TO erect handsome addition to their establish
ment which adjoins the south. The new
structure, which is to be built from plans pre-
pared by Paul ]. Pelz. architect, will be similar
in design to the present store building, Of
which it will be part.
1t will be built OF brick, with copper trim
Inings. and almost the entire frontage OF the first
story will be plate glass of the extensive show
windows. The main entrance will be from Sew
enth Street. through large double doors, and
there viii also be entrance from X Street, as
we'll as one for the receipt OF goods.
The feature of the exterior will be the tower
at the corner. which will have at the top a clock
and at night the four faces will be illuminated
and may be seen for long distance. The name
of the firm will also be displayed the tower
in illuminated letters. The entire building and
all the space of the four floors will be used for
the business of the firm
1t will be a good deal of space for retail shoe
business, as the entire structure when the addi-
ton is completed. will have a frontage of sixty
feet and depth of seventy feet The Hahns claim
that they have the largest retail shoe business
south of New York. The firm is composed OF
three brothers, and, in addition to the establish
ment on Seventh Street they have a store on
Capitol Hill and also one in the West End.
Some six years ago the property now occupied
by the business purchased by the Hahns, as
they found the quarters they were then occupy
ing farther down Seventh Street had become
entirely too small. The original building had
only frontage of fifteen feet, and when they
planned the present structure it supposed
ample provision had been made for the future.
About year and half ago the firm found that
they again becoming cramped for room.
and so the corner property was purchased. The
dimensions twenty by sixty-seven feet and
the price was $4,000, which is at the rate OF
nearly $50 per square foot. Mr.. Henry F. Getz
has the contract for the erection OF the building
and it is expected that the work will be pushed
as rapidly possible
This improvement will mark an important
point in the history of the development Of this
portion OF Seventh Street. For some time past
the changes which have taken place in the char
acter of the buildings, both by the erection OF
new structures and the undermining Of old ones,
have been very noticeable.

All Hands Probably Lost.


All Hands Probably Lost.
Chatham, Mass, June A large
three-masted schooner was driven on
Bearz shcaI II norning by the wild
northeast gale and was probably lost
with all hands on board. No clew has
been obtained as to the Identity of the
vessel She was undoubtedly a coaster
and her skipper seemed to have lost his
bearings in the scud and mist She was
first seen at a. m.
At 9 o'clock she struck on Bearz Shoa!
on sand bar off Pollock Rip and was
instantly deluged with mass of foaming
breakers which swept in over the stern
and ran forward all her length over the
L ". apFar. ily washing away bulwarks
and everything movable.
A few hours later the vessel was driven
clean over the sandbar into the channel
Her crew dropped an anchor. but 1t did
not hold and the vessel settled deep in the
water. partly dismantIed and with a dis
tress signal set and unmanageabIe, drift
ed out of vision toward the surf of Nan

POLITICAL NOTES.

Pennsylvania, though smaller than New
York in population and area. has more
than 1000 miles of railroad trackage in
excess of New York. 1t is customary for
the Republicans to hold, as they did this
year, their State convention at Harris
burg, a point easily reached from all sec
tions of the State. This year the railroad
managers of ePnnsylvania entered into
an agreement not to issue any free trans
portation on account of the Harrisburg
convention. For some time past they had
been considering the advisability of limit
ing still further the issue of free tickets.
and it was thought that this was a good
opportunity to begin. When the time for
the Republican convention was decided
upon meeting of the officials of the va
rious railroads Interested was held and it
was agreed not to ssue any free tickets.
but to make a single fare for the round
trip. and for the Democratic convention
of Pennsylvania, which is to be held in
Altoona, similar action will be taken.
There will be State election in Geor-
gia this year. on October 5. for governor.
secretary of state, attorney general,
treasurer, and comptroller. The Popu-
lists of Georgia. failing in their effort to
conscript Long Tom Watson, as their
candidate, nominated ]. r. Hogan, of
Lincoln County, for governor, and Felix
N. Cobb, of Carroll for attorney general.
Lincoln County is in the northeastern sec
ton of the State on the Savannah River,
adjoining Edgefeld Counts South Caro-
lima. Their are no railroads in it, and the
chief waterway is known as Soap Creek.
1t Is a Popuiist stronghold, and at the
lasc State election the Populists sutnum-
bered the Democrats in a proportion if
three to one. In the Presidential election
of 1896 the Populists, generally speaking
stayed at home. There were 200 votes for
Bryan and 7s for Mr.. Mckinley. The full
vote of Lincoln County is less than
thousand.
