ton to allow General Toral to evaeuate Santiago. This would give us a military and naval base, permit the starving refu- gees to return to their homes and would allow the immediatae embarkation of the bulk of our army for the Porto Rico cam paign. M
 Rainy Season Is On
 The rain now falls In sheets every day, drenching the soldiers, washing out the roads and swelling the streams into tor< rents. In fact our base of supplies is ac- tually threatened by the mountain streams. Two bridges have been carried away this afternoon after downfall in which an inch and a half of rain fell.
 The Aguadores river is impossible, the water, shoulder deep, is running like a small Niagara. An ambulance which att tempted to cross the river, was carried 200 yards down the stream, filled with refugees, to Caney, where the passengers were rescued with difficulty.
 Conditions May Be Modified
 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is one of those who believe the army is threatened with great disaster unless General Toral and his troops are allowed to depart. The situation has been communicated to Wash ington and 1t is considered probable that the conditions imposed in the main proposi tions for surrender will be modified
 Two of General Randolph's batteries
 
 in the center of General Lawton's divi- sion on the extreme right, where they com mand the town beyond our lines and over the churches, hospitals and public build- ings flying the Red Cross flag, the eastern edge of the city.
 The belief is common among our off cers that the end is close at hand and that Santiago will be ours before next Monday without further fighting. Already the movements of the army for the future, as' outlined, are based on the fall of the city. The plans of the generals are not to allow our troops to enter the city, except a gar rison of immunes.
 Until ready fot embaraktion in the trans ports our men will be camped on the heights surrounding Santiago, where the water is good.
 Strict instructions have been issued to the men to boil their drinking water, but owing to the poverty of their equipments this is almost impossible.
 General Miles Cheered
 General Miles was received with great enthusiasm all along the llnes and was greeted with cheers on all sides. The gen. eral expressed himself as being exceeding ly gratned at the strength Of our position and at the character of the works thrown up. He complmented many of the com manding officers personally on the work accomplished.
 To the correspondent of the Associated Press General Miles said he was proud to command an army which had charged the lines of hills on which our center rests. He added that there was no prouder page in our military annals than that written on July 1.
 Tn conclusion General Miles remarked that he felt satisfied from General Torals manner and words that he was anxious to surrender.

LONDON PAPERS PRAISE
 AMERICAN STRATEGY

London, July 15.-All of the London pa pers tender ample praise of the Ameri- can strategy fn securing possesson of east ern Cuba with so little Dioodshed. They recognize that further resistance on the part of Spain is hopeless, since in all proba- bility Spain will soon compel Captain-Gen- eral Blarco to surrender. Therefore, they say, Spain ought to profit by the pause in hostilities to sue at once for peace.
 The Morning Post congratuates the United States upon the speedy success or the operations at Santiago resulting from the admirable manner in which the naval and military forces supplemented one another.
 The Daily News says in view of the men, ace of yellow fever, the fall of Santiago does not come any too soon for the Ameri- can troops. It adds:
 1.-The severely criticised strategy of Pres ident Mckinley and his advisers is not justified by results.
 sThe United States government has used its great power with a full sense of re- sponsiblTity and with due regard for hu- manity The American generals may not be men of military genius, but they de- serve the utmost credit for prudence and considerations General Shafter may be congratulated upon finishing the work be- fore General Miles had time to interfere"
 The Daily Mail calls it.: Another as founding transformation scene" just at the moment when the Amerlcan troops were embarrassed by disease, the hard conditions of the climate and other heavy obstacles,
 The Daily Chronicle warmly praises Pres ident Mckinley, and predicts that Havana will fall in October in the same manner.
 The Standard says: If a sentiment of morbid delicacy prevents Senor Sagasta from inviting a peacemaker to step in why should not President Mckinley think it part of conscious strength to consult the of whom in their weakness, he must still respect. The United States must be anxious for 3 speedy settlement.
 "Without exaggerating the gravity of the Irene incident every one can see that the future of the Philippines is fraught with the germs of diplomtic unpleasantness and Admiral Dewey and General Merritt have business of no small magnitude before them.
 "While even the Spaniards have been .ex- pel1ed from the Antilles the task of bring ing the native population under control will not be easy.'

PAW PAW TOWNSHIP BONDS ISSUED FOR
RAILROAD BENEFIT.

Paw Paw has decided to "get out OF
the woods" If voting aid to the S. II. Il
Il. will do it, and the voters of the town
ship, by vote of five to one, showed
their faith in the project. The North
erner believes this to be the most decid
ed step in the direction of growth and
prosperity that Paw Paw has taken in
many years, and we have no doubt that
the judgment of the people, so nearly
unanimous Monday, will be entirely
unanimous a year from to day as to the
wisdom of voting the bonds.
All day long the sentiment seemed to
to be that the bonds would be given the
necessary two-t thirds vote, but even the
most sanguine advocates of the loan ex
pected no more than small margin
above the necessary number. 623 votes
were polled in the two precincts, only 100
less than in the presidential election of
'96. Following is the vote in detail:

Last week, the Northerner inadver.
tently omitted to give report of the st.
Patrick's Day entertainment given by
ST. Mary's church. 1t is a little late
now to go into detail concerning it, but
we cannot forbear referring to it, The
supper was one of the finest and was full
ly appreciated by the large number of
guests seated at the tables. The pro
gram after the supper was an excellent
one, some of the very best of our local
talent participating, and being assisted
by Mr.. J. S. O'Rafferty of Jackson,
elocutionist. While more informal than
many of the st. Patrick's Day observ-
ances held here in past years, it was one
of the most enjoyable.

that the rolling stock would come at once
when the track can be made ready. He

piration of the four months.
