TOUGH ON CHICAGO.
Not an English Daily Issued in
That City Today.

Chicago, July 2.-None of the English
papers were published in Chicago today
owing to a strike among the stereotypers-
The stereotypers demand a reduction in
the hours of labor and an increase in
wages. It was refused and as a result at
s clock last evening the stereotypers re-
fused to go to work. The following
newspapers have entirely suspended pub
hcation, pending a settlement of the issue:
Times-Herald, Record, Tribune, Chroni-
Gle, Inter-Ocean, Evening Post. Daily
News, Evening Journal and the Dispatch.
A meeting of publishers was held at II
o'clock this morning to arrange plan of
campaign and to provide for the resum-
ing of publication at the earliest moment,
and it was announced that no paper could
be published tomorrow morning. The pub
fishers are acting together and will do so.
Already they have received a large num-
Der of applications from stereOtypers in
other cities. and it is the general belief
that since something like 200 employees are
directly involved the suspension will not
be long. An Immediate influx of stereo-
typers from other cities is expected and
has in some measure begun.
The intense interest in the battle at San
tiagO renders the situation peculiar one
and this fact was undoubtedly seized upon
by the Operat tiVes. There is no little pub
lie feeling aroused against the operatives
because of this phase of the case.

Montego Bay, Island of Jamaica, July
"A Cuban soldier from the insurgents
near Manzanillo, province of Santiago
de Cube, landing here today faom a sail
boat brought the intelligence that the
Spanish troops numbering about 5000
men which left Manzanillo 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 iii aavana.
The relieving army, the Cuban says
was supplied with food and the roads
were almost impassab BILE and the artil-

San Juan Heights have fallen and the
way is now open for an advance on
NIorro castle. It was a glorious vic
tory but very dearly purchased.
The place was the strongest of the
Spanish outposts, well fortified and val
iantIy defended. The position was an
excellent one. San Juan hill is steep
and an artillery battery was located on
it. 1t was also occupied by barracks
and other buildings.
But the American troops storned the
heights and Spanish valor had to yield
to the bull dog tenacity and courage of
the Anglo-Saxon.

advance which began at 8 p. m, has

WILL DELAY WAR NEWS.
Dispatch Boats Barred From Ports of
Jamaica.

Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 2, via
Kingston, Standardization has been ta-
ken by the Jamaican authorities which
will interfere seriously with the work Of
the American newspaper dispatch boats
running between the coast of Cuba and
Port Antonio, the nearest point from
which news in regard to events trans
piring at the seat of war can be cabled
to the United States.
The quarantine board of Kingston
has issued an order that these boats
must not be entered at or cleared from
Port Antonio without permission of the
board but must go into quarantine I'M
til after investigation. This will detain
the boats here several hours at least,
and in some cases day or two and
possibly longer. 1t is hoped, however,
that the quarantine officials may be in
duced to show c1emency in this matter,
despite the strict rules applied this sea-
son to ordinary vessels arriving from
Cuban ports, because the dispatch
boats do not enter Cuban ports, as
there are none of these they can enter
now, and when they are not at Port
Antonio they are on the high seas, ,simp-
ly enga aged in carrying dispatches which
are transferred to them by small boats,
a mile or more off the Cuban coast and
they have no direct communication
with the shore. They have been run
ming to Port Antonio for six weeks past
as there is no other means of getting
news to the United States promptly.
The only direct cable communication
with southeastern Cuba is by a line re-
Gently established by the Americans at
Guantanamo and Juragua, which runs
to the United States by way of Hayti;
but this line is occupied almost exclus-
lively in carrying official dispatches be
tween the army and navy representa-
tives and Washington. and only the
most meager press kilograms can be
sent over it.
If the Jamaican authorities enforce
the quarantine regulations strictly
against newspaper boats, which are
maintained at great effort and expense,
Jamaica will have to be abandoned as
a point of filing dispatches and the pub
lie of the United States and other coun-
tries will receive greatly delayed ser
vice of news regarding the progress OF
the war.

Description of the Battle.
New York, July IA dispatch to the
Herald from the headquarters of the
American army before Santiago, July
/, 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-fir
regiment of regulars were killed in the
fighting between Sevilla and A guadores,
while Is other Americans, all members
of the Twenty-first We're wounded.

San Francisco, August A.-Mrs. D. A. Botkin who is accused of causing the death of Mrs. J. H. Dunning and Mrs. J. D. Deane, of Dover, Del, is now in the city prison here having been brought from Stockton this morning. Mrs. Botkin de- clined absolutely to talk to newspaper rep resentatives. but to the chief of police, she earnestly protested her innocence.
 What the police regard as an important piece of evidence was made public in Stockton today.
 Frank Gatrell, salesman in the Wave Candy store at that place says that about three weeks ago, a woman came into the store and asked for four-bit box of candy. saying that she had some candy that she desired to put in the box with some of the store candy. Gatrell gave her a box which did not have the firms name on it. The candy which she put in looked old to him and 1t scarcely filled the box. He says he did not observe the lady closely, and can only describe her by saying that she was of medium height and build.
 w. I. Kuhn, proprietor of the store, says that he would know both the box and the candy again should he see them.
