WILL BE NO DELAY
 OF OFFENSIVE ACTION

Washington, July 5.-It Is learned au- thoritatively that tremendous pressure is being brought to bear upon the Spanish commander of Santiago by the foreign con- suls resident in the city to induce him in the interests of humanity to surrender to the inevitable. The consuls have communicat- ed with their home governments and it is believed her that presentations will be made by them to Spain to induce her to permit the city to surrender, therby pre- venting further loss of life and property. What the result of these negotiations may be cannot be foretold. The opinion express ed by war officials is that the Spaniards will fight to the last and capitulate only when they are forced to do so. For that reason any delay of offensive action against the city is not regarded in army circles with favor.

TRANSPORTS WILL
 BRING THE WOUNDED

Washington, July 1.-The Post tomorrow will say: There has been some question as to the delay in sending back the trans ports that are at Santiago. Their failure to return is explained by the fact that they are held to bring back the wounded. The present program is to place the injured men upon these transports and bring them to this country. Fort Monroe will be their destination. This military reservation at the entrance to Chesapeake bay will be turned into military hospital. It is ad- mirably located for this purpose. It is so far north as to be remover from the trop- ical diseases, and there is ample room ae- commodation for the wounded men. The transports will also be used to convey the thousands of prisoners already captured. These will be taken to Fort McPherson, near Atlanta, and will be held until the close of the war. The feeding of these prisoners as well as the starving people of Santiago w.ll be fully provided for.

SAD MEMENTOES
 OF BATTLEFIELD

He sank to the ground with his left hand pressed to his side, b ut his right hand was still pointing to the spot where the Spanish rifles were flashing. Several com rades knelt over him, but he motioned them away.
 Don't mind me, boys,' he said, Ego on into the thicket.
 Stricken with death the brave man heard his little band rushing on to the fight and with eyes from which life was fast fading he saw the enemy retreating down the hill side to Santiago.
 When the fight was over Captain Capron was carried tenderly by his comrades to the little hospital by the seashore but be- fore the sun went down the calm of a sol diers death was upon his features. With his dead comrades he is buried on the bat tie field.

HEAVY LOSS OF OFFICERS.
Official Reports Say 58 were Killed or Wounded
 in Two Days Fighting.

Washington, July 5.-Considerab1e com ment has been caused among the officials of the war department by the great loss of American officers in the two days fight ing at Santiago. Official reports thus far received indicate that ffty-eight American officers were either killed or wounded, and the list is only partial. Speaking of the matter this evening Adjutant-General Cor bin said a finer lot of officers than was with General Shafter's corps never wore shoulder straps.
 They were, he said, brave aggressive and brilliant, and well worthy to carry the honor of the stars and stripes. General Corbn did not forget the enlisted men in his comment, saying that the great ma jority of Shafter's force was the pick of the regular army, strong, resolute, admira- bly disciplined and thoroughly enthusias- tic and patriotic. Shafter's army is labor ing at some disadvantages, not only on &C., count of the intense heat and the shock of a great battle, but also on account of the loss and disability of so many officers. While none of the general officers has been
 wounded no less than five of them are unweIl and were they at home would be in bed. General Shafter himself is suffering from a severe indisposition. His condition according to last reports was somewhat improved, but it is noised about that he directed the first days fight from a cot on which he was lying.
 General Joe Wheeler in command of the cavalry division was seriously ill, but when the battle began insisted against the protests of his surgeon that he be taken to the front. He went in an ambulanc, but when he arrived on the field he mounted his horse and personally directed the op- erations of his men.
 The heavy loss of officers is due to the dash and bravery of the officers them selves. Instance after instance has been disclosed of officers springing in front of their commands and leading them in bril- liant sortes against the enemy. Quite nat urally the Spanish sharpshooters singled out the officers.

witness work of Air-Compressor'

A called meeting of the Council Com
mittee on Water was held at noon yes
terdav at No. 500 east Main street Tor
the purpose Of witnessing the experiment
with the working model OF the Tayior
Compressed Air Company. The model,
which has a height of Az feet, showed
I'm a plain and convincing manner no"
waste water in any city can be used TO
advantage 10 create compound air as a
motive power for almost any purpose.
Mr.. r.. w. Sutherland, Of Montreal the
superintendent of the company, was pres
ent. and gave all the needed explanation
He stated that air was not heated by the
process. and that. therefore, no loss OF
mower could be involved on that ground.
There was some loss by friction in the
uipes. but it was very small. The model
showed that by each IS inches OF the
fan Of the water one pound OF power Is
created.
A small rubber tube was then CON
nected with the apparatus, and a minla-
ture drill, which was attached, at once
started to drill a hole in a piece Of slate,
and the experiment proved to be very
successful.
