should not destroy the existing fortin-
cations and should leave his arms be-
hind. This latter condition the Spanish
general. who does not speak English,
explained through his interpreter was
impossible. He said the laws OF Spain
gave the general no discretion. He
might abandon the place when he found
IL untenable, but he could not leave his
arms behind without subjecting himself
TO the penalty OF being court-martialed
and shot
His government, he said, had granted
him permission to evacuate Santiago.
That was ALL Further than that he was
powerless 10 GO When General Shafter
explained that our reinforcements were
coming up; that he was completely sur
rounded and that new batteries were
being posted, General Toral simply
shrugged his shoulders.
II am but a subordinate" said he;
land i obey my government. If IL is
necessary we can die at our posts"
Genera floral is a man 60 years OF
age. with strong, rugged face and fine,
soldiery bearing. His brave words in
spired a feeling Of respect and admira-
ton in the hearts Of his adversaries.
The Spanish generals anxiety 10 avoid
further sacrifice Of life in his command
was manifest and he did not hesitate
TO ask for time 10 communicate the sit
uation TO Madrid, although he dubious
ly shook his head when he spoke Of the
probable response.
In the course Of an interview General
Toral said the bombardment of Sunday
and Monday had done little damage.
He admitted that shells from the guns
of the fleet had destroyed four houses,
but he asserted tina only half dozen
soldiers Of the garrison had been in
jured. He also volunteered the infor-
nation when General Miles CALAMITY
inquired after General Linares' condi-
ton that the latter would probably have
TO undergo the amputation of his left
arm at the shoulder.

partment was notified Saturday night

of Milwaukee, had been missing since

turn.
Failing to arrive at their homes at
night a search was instituted which has
revealed no trace OF the missing boat
A boat answering the description of the
one taken out by the boys was reported
as being seen by an incoming steamer

erlv direction.

Prospects for Fall Trade Are Good-Hope-
ful Feeling I'm Iron.

iuf IN Ahons
New York, July 16.-Bradstreet'ss says:
Pending the initiation OF new fall bust
ness, preparations for which are ac-
lively under way in all markets, there
exists a quiet midsummer condition, ac-
companied, however, in most cases, by
price steadiness and confidence in
promising outlook for fall trade. While
there seems little reason 10 expect any
thing like the excited foreign buying OF
cereals this year which occurred last
season, the worlds wheat crops all
pointing TO exceptionally large IL not
record breaking yields, still the situa-
ton Of carried-over supplies, visible
and invisible is such as to lead 10 conf
dence in good general demand for most
Of this country's surplus, though the
outlook favors a considerable shading
of prices.
There is a little more hopeful feeling
in the iron and steel trade, the result
partly of reduced output and stocks or
pig, and partly owing to the large bust
ness reported Offering, particularly at
the west, where some mills Will forego
their usual summer shutdown and 9TH
ers will curtail the vacation period ma
terially Except for some shading In
cereals, caused by the usual tendency
TO discount government crop reports
and look for larger than indicated crop
yields, the price situation is one OF con-
siderable steadiness.

TROUBLE EXPECTED AT PANA.
Mine Operators Prepared To Start with
Non-Union Miners.

Pana, Ills, July 1S-The state board
of arbitration completed taking evil
dence in the miners lockout Saturday
night. The operators refusing togive evil
dence before the board the evidence Of
the miners and business men only was
taken, and in consequence ii is proba-
BILE that the operators will not abide by
the boards decision. A large number
of deputies and extra police were sworn
in Saturday night, who will endeavor
to prevent union miners intercepting
non-union miners who attempt to enter
the Penwell mine.
The union miners are large in num-
bers and will be reinforced by miners
from the Springfield district and say they
propose keeping non-union miners from
entering the mine. no matter what the
cost may be. The citizens are conf
dent that there will be bloodshed.

GERMANY NOT INTERFERING.
Kaiser's Government Is Hewing Close Ia
the Neutrality Line.

the Neutrality Line.
Berlin, July 15-The Cologne Zeitung
denounces the story Of the German war
ship Irene interfering at Subig bay, ISL
and of Luzon. Philippines, as a fabr
cation. The Lokalanzeiger says the
Americans are professionally excited
about the Irene incident. Even if il
occurred. as Admiral Dewey says, the
Irene did not interfere, but retired upon
the arrival of the Americans. There
fore every courtesy was shown that the
Americans demand of a neutral coun-
try.
But If the Irene did hinder Aguin-
aldos landing ii is no business of Dew
ey's. If the American admiral sees fit
to make common cause with the insur-
gent chiefs il is none of our affair.
Germany still preserves her neutrality
towards Spain, and does not intend TO
recognize Aguinaldo and his horde as
belligerents. The matter is so plain
that we do not believe any diplomatic
step will be taken, and do not doubt for
a moment that the American officials
will admit the correctness of the Ger
man proceedings" The foregoing is be-
lieved To be inspired.
The Tagebiatt's Madrid correspondent
says Sagasta has declared that he is
now convinced that the Americans
would be defeated by the land forces in
Cuba. and that the Americans knew
this themselves; but since Spain no
longer has fleet the Americans could
starve the island without subjecting
themselves to exposure TO the Spanish
bullets Hence he has resolved TO bring
about peace as soon as possible.
The German emperor has contributed
1000 marks to the Red Cross fund.

Significant Fact Made Known.
coRREA's PROPOSAL FOR PEACE.
Would Let the People i'm Cuba Decide the
Ouestion-Sagasta's Views.

Madrid. July 16.-The minister for
war, General Correa. is quoted as say
ing in an interview that he thought
peace might be arranged on the follow
ing terms: The United States and Spain
to agree to let the Cubans decide by a
plebiscite whether they desire indie
pendence or autonomy under the suzer-
ainty of Spain. The two governments
to agree to abide by the result of the
plebiscite. In the event OF the Cubans
voting independence the United States
to allow Spain nine months in which to
withdraw her army gradually and dig
nifiedly from Cuba.
Continuing, the minister for war said:
1--WE ought TO retain Porto Rico at all
costs. i'm order TO be always near Cuba,
of which the Americans will be able to
despoil us in course of time. and in
order TO more easily communicate with
the South American republics, which
daily display the greatest enthusiasm
for Spain AS to the Philippine islands,
IL is certain we will retain them, even
though the Americans succeed in oc-
cupying Manila, OF which place their
occupation will be most brief. An Of
fetal dispatch announces that the rebel
chiefs and the Americans will not al
ways agree, which is to SPANS advan-
tage The government has formed a
scheme which will not only assure Spain
the possession of the Philippine islands
but which will re-establish tranquility"

Express Combine Puts the Screws on the

Chicago, July 1.-THE Denver and
Rio Grande Express company has been
furnishing revenue stamps to it's pa
irons, while the American, Adams and
United States, members Of the so-called
express combine refuse to do so.
circular has been issued by the combi-
nation saying that there will be no

Washington, July 1.-THE war depart

from Gen. Miles yesterday dated Playa:
General Toral formally surrendered
the troops Of his army-troops and d.
vision of Santiago-on the terms and
understanding that his troops shall be
returned to Spain. General Shafter will
appoint commissioners TO draw up the
conditions and arrangements for carry
ing out the terms Of surrender. This is
very gratifying, and General Shafter
and the officers and men Of his command
are entitled 10 great credit for their
fortitude in overcoming the almost in.
surmountable obstacles which they en-
countered."
A press dispatch dated before Santi-
ago July 13 gives an account OF a meet
ing between Generals Shafter and Miles
and General Toral in which the United
states officers urged Toral to surrender.
The situation was placed frankly before
General Toral, and he was offered the
alternative OF being sent home with his
garrison, or leaving Santiago province.

Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carrni, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.

the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-

Old Glory Raised with Ceremony for the

Santiago de Cuba, July Is. - The
American flag is floating in triumph
over the governors palace at Santiago
de Cuba. General McKibbin has been
appointed temporary military governor.
The ceremony of hosting the stars and
stripes was worth all the blood and
treasure it cost. A concourse of 10000
people witnessed the stirring and thrill
ing scene, that will live forever in the
minds OF all the Americans present A
finer stage setting for a dramatic
episode it would be difficult TO imagine.
The palace. a picturesque old dwelling
in the Moorish style of architecture,
faces the plaza de la Reina, the prin-
oipal public square. Opposite rises the
imposing Roman Catholic cathedral.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
