SANTIAGO MAY
SOON SURRENDER

Washington, July 7.--Santiago may
surrender to the American army with
out further engagement.
A dispatch has been received from
Maj. Gen. Shafter. in which 1t is stated
that the strongest pressure is being
brought to bear upon Gen. Linares to
surrender to the American forces with
out further battle.
Gen. Shafter states in this dispatch
that up to the present time hundreds of
women and children have left Santiago
and come into his lines for protection
and food.
A large number of Spanish soldiers,
including several officers, one Of whom
is a colonel. who participated in the
engagement of July 2. have deserted
from the Spanish army and entered the
lines of Maj. Gen. Shafter. The women
and children are being fed and cared
for by Miss Clara Barton and her as
sistants.

LITTLE FOOD
NOW IN THE CITY

According to the refugees who have
made their way to the lines OF the
American army. the conditions I'm San
tiago de Cuba are something terrible.
Food is extremely scarce. and there is
a great amount OF suffering. Gen.
shafter states that he has been in
formed that the entire business popula-
tion of Santiago. the foreign consuls
and the archbishop of the city have all
united In a strong appeal to Gen. Lin
ares to end the suffering and to sur
render the city without further engage
ment.
The officials on duty at the war de-
partment say that I'm case Gen. Linares
refused to surrender the city Il Is
thought that Maj. Gen. shafter will not
lombard for some days. but will simply
take the precaution to prevent supplies
OF every sort being taken into the city.
He will. Il In thought. succeed In his
purpose Of capturing the city without
further bloodshed.

Of the war department is generally con-

the artillerymen into the limited States

would pay no attention to any requisi-
tions unless made out on the army reg
ulation blanks. These were not sup
piled for some time and so the batteries
were still further delayed in receiving
their equipment. Now that the blanks
have arrived this source of delay is re-

ernment keeps its promise of supplying

is very doubtful. the batteries may ex-

SUING CONTRACTORS.
Edward Laz0ne ct Al. Want $4,000
From Daniel Leddy.
Gains He Did Not Fulnll Contract in
Building House.

A number of disputes In regard to the
manner in which a house on Cushing
street was built were aired before a
jury in Judge Wilbur's court to-day in
the case of Edward r.. Lazone, Mary
IL. Doyle and Ann Lazone against Con-
tractor Daniel Leddy. The suit is to
recover $1,000.
The plaintiffs about two years ago
made q contract with Mr.. Leddy to
build them house for $1,000. They
claim they relied implicitly on his rep
resentations that the contract was per-
formed with the best skill and care pos
sible. The house was finished and the
tenements let, and shortly after the
tenants took possession they began
finding fault with the house. The own
ers thought this was only an exhibit
ton of a chronic failing OF tenants, and
their confidence in Mr.. Leddy was not
shaken, and when water came into the
cellar he was not blamed.
A mason who was consulted said the
only way water could be kept out of
the cellar was by digging a trench out
side the cellar wall. In digging this
cellar IL was found, ii is claimed, that
the wall OF the cellar instead of being,
as the contract called for, and required
by the city ordinances, 1S inches thick.
was of varying thicknesses of IL, 13 and
10 inches. and some OF IL fell down.
Other claims as to imperfect work are
that the bulkheads of the stairs are 40
low that person OF ordinary height
cannot pass under them without danger
of striking their heads; that the sinks
were improperly placed. and that the
plastering was OF poor quality. The
contractor was fully paid when he
turned over the keys 10 the owners.
The defendant denies the allegation
as to the cellar wall not being built
properly. AS to the other claims, he
says that the work was done in the best
possible manner for the price paid. and
that he kept his agreement in every
detail.

plaintiffs and Walter ". Stiness and

in advance Of his companions. was
taken on board the New York imme-
diately The nagships decks were
lined with officers and men. and, as
Hobson clambered up her side and
stepped on board his vessel, the harbor
rang with the shouts and cheers of his
comrades, which were re-echoed by the
crews of dozen transports lying
nearby.
Hobson had little to say in regard to
his experiences. except that he and his
companions had been well treated by
the Spaniards. and that they were all
in excellent health.
