worked manfully and they were soon
gotten into such q condition that II was
possible TO move the heavy pieces over
them with comparatively little difn-
Guilty.
In the center of the line is the dyna-
mite gun of the rough riders, which is
in charge of Hallett Alsop Borrowe Of
New York. and which was temporarily
disabled during the fight Of a week
ago. In addition there have been
placed on the right eight mortars,
which are capable of most deadly exc
cution.
The enemy is to make an attempt to
ennlade the trenches. It has been dis
covered that opposite the left wing OF
the American army three Spanish guns
have been placed. These will have a
sweep back at the position Of the Sec
ond United States infantry, but the
Spanish gunners will be picked off by
the American sharpshooters, who have
been instructed to give their attention
to them.
Acts of bravery on the part of the
Cuhans continue. Thursday night a
party OF them entered the Spanish line
on the west of Santiago and seized
cattle, which they coolly proceeded to
drive off. The animals were siaugh-
tered for the Americans and a mich
cow presented TO General Shafter.
The programme for the attack is I'M
derstood to be a naval bombardment
from a position off Aguadores. L is
said that there will be no infantry
charge.
There is report that the fleet will
enter the harbor proper and proceed

clined. The purpose of General Linares
was to cross over northward to Hol-
guin so miles distant. Once there, it
might be possible for him to make his
way to Havana, although his route
would be beset with innumerable diff
ficulties.
This could not be contemplated by
the president and his war cabinet, nor
would we permit General Linares to
remove his army to Spain, as had been
suggested in some quarters, for the
moral effect would be bad.
The presidents ultimatum was voiced
today by an authoritative source, as
Sfollows:
The only solution of the situation is
the absolute and unconditional surren-
der of General Linares' army, and
that will take place if it requires the
whole of the 225 900 men in the United
States army to accomplish it."
General Miles will reach the army
before Santiago with the reinforce
ments within a day or two, and if the
end has not been reached there shortly
afterward, it will be for him to advise
whether this vast army is to be called
into Dlay

a Diplomatic Stroke.

Mr.. Russell has many good stories to
tell OF clergymen. Here are couple Of
Jowett, the famous Master of Balliol Col
iege. oxford:
The scene was the masters own din
ing room, and the moment that the ladies'
had left the room one OF the guests be-
gan a most outrageous conversation.
everyone sat fabbergasted. The master
WINGED with annoyance; and then. bend
ing down the table toward the offender
said in his shrillest tone: Shall we con-
tinue this conversation in the drawing
room? and rose from his chair. 1t was
really q stroke of genius thus both to
terminate and to rebuke the impropriety
without violating the decorum due from
most to guest.
AT dinner at Balliol the master s
guests were discussing the careers of two
Balliol mon. the one of whom had Just
been made a judge and the other bish-
oD- oh. said Henry Smith. 7 think the
bishop is the greater man. \ judge, at
the most. can only say. You be hanged"
but a bishop can say, You be damned"
Yes. Enthusiastically twittered the
master: but # the judge says, You be
hanged" you are hanged.

American Securities Improved, Es>
pecially the Vanderbilts.

London, July 10.-The continued with
drawals of gold for Germany and Rus
STA and dividend payments have caused
a rise in the discount rate and monev is
expected to gradually become dearer.
The stock market throughout the week
has been rather more active, buying be-
ing encouraged by the cheapness OF
money and American victories, which
have strengthened the hope of peace.
Some departments, however. We're I'M
favorably affected, especially home rail-
way securities, which showed fairly
general decline.
American securities generally improved
on New York buying, especially the Van
derbiits.
Grand Trunks and Canadian Pacific in
creased, but Argentine and Brazilian rail-
road shares are still freely sold.
Among international securities the chief
advance was in Spanish Is, which rose
1-16 points. Argentines were lower.
while Chilians dropped points owing to
financial troubles.
