TURNED BACK.
ReinfOrcements for Santiago
Called Back by PandO.

Copyright 1898. by Associated Press.)
Montego Bay, Island of Jamaica, July
IA Cuban soldier from the insurgents
near Manzanillo, province of Santiago
de Cuba, landing here today faom sail
boat brought the intelligence that the
Spanish troops numbering about 5000
men which left ManzaniIlo on June %
to march to Santiago, were called back
by Gen. Pando. 1t appears that when
the army had reached the vicinity OF
BayamO, Gen. Pando was not with the
troops as had been reported. He was
and is in Havana.
The relieving army, the Cuban says
was supplied with food and the roads
were almost impossible and the artil-
lery could not be dragged along.

TODAY'S BATTLE.
Meagre News-Fighting Going
On-Many Wounded.

Washington, July 2.-The president
and secretary of war, through a priv
ate dispatch from the battlefield, learn
that the engagement was resumed this
morning, and has continued all day.
The wounded are coming in rapidly.
the indications point to heavy losses.
The dispatch does not indicate a de-
cisive result in any direction.
Anxiety and Suspense.
Washington, July 2.-The deepest
suspense existed throughout military
rand official circles as the day pro-
gressed and no word came from Gen.
shafter.
At 2:3O o'clock when round was
made of all of the points of the war
and navy departments where dispatch
es are usually received, nothing was
forthcoming as to the situation on the
field. Adjutant General Corbin, to
whom the first military reports are sub
mitted reiterated what he had said
earlier in the day that nothing had
come from Shafter since four o'clock
this morning.
The officials were not even aware
that the battle itself was in progress, so
far as the information received today
was concerned. The lack of reports was
attributed mainly to the fact that Gen.
Shafter was so thoroughly occupied
with the imperative duties of the hour
that there was scant time or OppOrtun-
ity for giving the detailed progress of
his movements.
The secretary of war remained at the
White House some hours and did not re-
turn to the war department up to a late
hour this afternoon. The navy de-
partment was also lacking in any spe-
cific information as to the situation
around Santiago although there, too
there was the deepest anxiety and sus-
pense over the condition of affairs.

Description of the Battle.
New York. July "A dispatch to the
Herald from the headquarters of the
American army before Santiago, July
l, via Playa del Este, says:
Major General Shafter this morning
began with great vigor the attack on
the outer defenses OF Santiago.
From three directions the American
forces advanced toward the doomed
city. While Gen. Lawton and Gen.
Wheeler were attacking Caney, north
east of Santiago, Gen. Kent was ad-
vancing toward Aguadores. Gen. Gar
cia, with his Cuban troops, at the same
time approached Caney from the south
east. and the other divisions of the
American army pressed toward Santi-
ago from the east, our forces thus pre-
senting a solid front from the coast to
Gen. Linares' northern defenses.
Four members of the Twenty-first
regiment of regulars were killed in the
fighting between SevflIa and Aguadores,
while Is other Americans, all members
of the Twenty-f1rst were wounded

mira1 SaTnpson's men were redu. ing the
recently emplaced batteries at Aqua

hurting shells in the direction of the
American and Cuban lines.
Two batteries of light artillery, act
ing under orders from Major General
Shafter, who went to the front at the
head of the troops. began the battle of
Santiago by attacking Caney.
From this village a direct road leads
anto Santiago and the advance of our
forces will be irresistible when they
gain possession of this road.

to recover damages IN the sum of $4,000
for the death OF Edward Rogue brought
tor the benefit of his father and next of
kin under sections 2451 and 2452 Vermont
statutes. The undisputed facts in the case
were as follows: On Sunday morning July
81, 1895 four young men, Edward Rogue,
Jerry Trudeau, Edward Chaport and
Oliver Dandelin, all of North Adams,
Mass, hired team in the latter place con-
sisting of pair OF horses and q two-seated
carriage and started on pleasure trip
through Wiliamstown and Pownal to a
point on the New York state line. Max
ing several stops at hotels and road houses
along the route they left Pownal village on
the return trip to North Adams a little be-
fore three o'clock in the afternoon, their
course for quite distance closely follow

with its double track. A little more than
a mile east OF Pownal the highway crosses
the railroad at two places some 900 feet
apart, those places being known as the

the first crossing they heard coming up be-

to be an extra freight running towards
North Adams at the rate OF Is miles an
hour. Whipping up their horses they
crossed the tracks, just clearing the train,
and drove along the highway at rapid
rate, arriving at the second crossing be-
fore the train had passed and stopping
their team until the rear end OF the train
was out of their way. The freight train
being on the track nearest the team and
being about 700 feet in length, INSTRUCTED

THE WAR INVESTIGATION.
and Gen. Lee Is CalIed-Had No
Complaint to Make.

Washington, Oct. THE war inves.
tiSating commission held two sessions
yesterday. In the forenoon Gen. H.
V. Boynton concluded his testimony,
and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was heard in
the afternoon.
Gen. Lee detailed the conditions pre-
vailing in the camp at Jacksonville.
He said the site was a good one, the
supplies were plentiful, the men well
taken care of, and he had no COM
plant to make of the war depart
ment's treatment of his command. He
also took occasion, in reply to ques-
ton put by Capt. Howell, to say that
he did not consider that he had been
sighted in the war. He had wanted
to go to Havana, and the president had
recently told him that in case it had
been necessary to take Havana by
assault, he had intended to ask him

REPORTS DISCREDITED.
The Situation In Pekin Not Believed to b.
as Serious Reported-A Mark
of Confidence.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Such informa.
ton as has reached the state depart.
ment respecting the reported death
and assassination of the emperor OF
China, goes to entirely discredit the
stories that he has been poisoned OF
that he is dead. 1t is not possible to
say positively just what sources of in.
formation are available, but it is
known that they are regarded as en-
tirely reliable by the state depart
ment.
Moreover, the situation generally in
China is not believed by the depart
mental officials to be as serious as rep.
resented, and a signal mark of conf
dence is the decision not to follow the
course of certain European govern.
ments in sending at this time force
of soldiers or marines to Pekin. The
Boston, one of the two American wal
ships ordered to get as near as posi-
bic to the disturbance, will go as far
as the Taku forts at the mouth of the
Pang-Ho river, where she must stop
on account of her draught. The lit
tie gunboat Petrol, however, is ex.
pected to go 80 miles up the river &c
Tien-Tsin, and her steam launch
might proceed from that point as far
as Pekin, if necessary.

A FORMAL RECEPTION.
Our New Secretary of State Receives the
Members of the Diplo-
matic Corps.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Secretary Hay,
by invitation, yesterday, met the dip
lomatic corps at the state department.
By II o'clock, the hour appointed for
the reception, more than half hun
dred of the diplomatic body had as
sembled in the diplomatic ante-room,
all in civil dress except the oriental
contingent. None of the ambassadors
were present, all being out of the city.
The members of the corps took their
position in a long line, and Secretary
Hay, accompanied by Assistant Secre-
tary Adee, made his way down this
line, being introduced by the assistant
secretary to each of the ministers and
and charges, who, in turn, presented
to the secretary their own secretaries
and attaches.
From his long residence in Washing
ton and his experience abroad, the sec
rotary was already acquainted with
many of his callers, which fact afford
ed an opportunity for some very
pleasant personal exchanges. There
was no further ceremony connected
with the reception, which occupied
less than half an hour.
