SUFFERING IN SANTIAGO.
People In a Panic and without the
NecesSarfeS Of Life.


Washington. July 5. Il 80 p. m--This
has been a comparatively quiet night at
both the war and navy departments. Sew
eral dispatches were received by Adjt.
Gen. Corbin from Gen. Shafter, but their
contents We're not given to the public.
message received from Gen Shafter
indicates that the situation of the people
of Santiago is terrible. They are not only
panic-stricken over the fear of lombard
ment, but they are suffering from lack Of
the actual necessaries of life In one of
his cablegrams, Gen. Shafter SAYS: THE
town (Santiago) is in a terrible
condition as to food. The peo-
pie are starving Rice is practically
the only staple article of food they have"
Further along in the same dispatch Gen.
Shafter says that the growing food crops
in the vicinity of the city have already
been utilized by the residents of the city,
and that the only growing article of food
left is a few manages.
Speaking of the troops under his COM
mand, Gen. Skater says: The men are
in good health and spirits"
In The course of another dispatch Gen.
Shafter referring to the condition of those
injured, says: CAN the wounded are do
ing singularly wei. only one death hav-
ing occurred since the battle"
Gen. Skaters statement of the situation
m Santiago is borne out by the condition
Of the men captured by the American fleet
from the vessels of Admiral CerVera' 5
squadron They had been on half ra-
tons so long that many of them were
nearly famished, and if they had not been
taught that capture by Americans meant
death they would have welcomed il be-
cause it insured them good food and plen-
ty of it.
II is learned authoritatively that tire
mendous pressure is being brought to
bear upon the Spanish commander of
Santiago by the foreign consuls resident
in the city to induce him i'm the interests
of humanity to surrender to the inevita-
bic. The consuls have communicated with
their home governments. and it is believed
here that representations win be
made by them to Spain to in
duce her to permit the city to surrender
thereby preventing further loss of life
and property. What the result of these
negotiations may be cannot be foretold.
The opinion expressed 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 re-
garded in army circles with favor.

The Spanish made a desperate night at
tack upon our left shortly before 10
o'clock Saturday night. The assault was
directed at the position that had been
carried by Gen. Kent's men. The Span
iards left the trenches and charged across
the open, striking heavily upon Gen.
Wickof's brigade, consisting of the Ninth,
Thirteenth and Twenty-fourth Infantry.
They were reinforced by a heavy fire all
along their line of guns and batteries, and
succeeded in driving some of our men from
the trenches, but the heavy fire the Ameri-
cans in turn poured in staggered the line
and sent it flying downward.
The Americans had advanced from the
trenches for the first time, and while the
Spaniards were in the open some of our
Cuttings on the extreme left did terrible
execution.
The casualties among our men We're not
heavy. Gen. Hawkins was shot in the
foot
Over 200 additional wounded were taken
to the rear during the night, one batch
consisting of 129.
Under Gen. Skaters orders the battle
was reopened at o'clock this morning
along the whole line.
At this writing, the sound of the firing
is like the long roll of machine guns
punctuated by the heavy booms of the
Spanish batteries
The recruits were ordered to the front
to-day.
e Our loss has now reached / ZOO killed and
wounded
Part of the night attack was directly
opposite the station of the Third and Sixth
Cavalry.
Capt. Bowden OF the Third Cavalry went
with working party at j a. m. to
straighten the line of entrenchnients be-
tween Gen. Chaffee's brigade on the right
and Gen. Kent's division on the left.
Whether there was an accident is not
known but they FLASHED in the dark with
the Spanish, who We're advancing in
front of the working party and was OBJ
liged to retire. Rollo of Troop E was kill
ed and Poole of Troop e wounded
The Spanish did not advance close
enough to draw the fire of the American
main line. The action lasted about eigh
teen minutes and went on simultaneously

FIRE IS OLD FORT.
TwO-stOry Brick building AbIaze

The fire department was called out
shortly before 2 O'Clock this morning by
an alarm from box No. 16. The response
was prompt one. and the fremen found
two-story brick building on Reynolds
and State streets in a blaze.
The fire was discovered about 1:sO
O'clock. Several pistol shots were fred
for the purpose of attracting the attention
Of policemen, who seemed to be wanting
until after the department got there.
The blaze was located in the store of J.
H. Edenfield, a small grocery. The fire
had pretty well covered the building when
the department got there, but it was put
out in short order. Everything in the
place that was not damaged by fire was
pretty well damaged by water The prop
erty belongs to Tom Shields and is insured.
Edenfield stated his stock of groceries was
worth about $3.50. but was not fully insur-
ed. 1t was a total loss. Several colored
people lived in the upper story of the
building, but they got out without any
difficulty. The interior of the building
was pretty badly damaged.

offensive TO her in manner and speech. and
Paul, greatly incensed, at once set out to
find the constable

Of Cobb, where it is said that shortly after
dark two men in a buggy rode up to his
door and called him out.
He was asked if he was the officer who
served certain papers. and when he replied
Yes, he was asked to step with them
TO judge Connor's door, only a short dis
t2nce away.
Judge CoEnor was not there. and an al.
tercation followed between Pam and Cobb
about the service of the paper on Mrs.
Paul.
Words were followed by blows, and then
pistols were drawn, and Cobb was shot
three times at such close range that his
clothing was set on fire by the powder
lie died almost Immediately from his
wounds.
Paul was not hurt, and it was claimed
mat Cooo's pistol was found loaded I'm

MOSELEY MAY MAKE The RACE.
His Friends in Cobb Want Him to
Run Against Nesbitt.


Atlanta Ga, July 5.-The political sore
spot generated by the trouble over the
senatorship of the Thirty-hfth district
broke out again to-day, when a mass
meeting Of citizens was held in Marietta
and John f. Moseley put in the race for
the Senate against Col r. T. Nesbtt who
was nominated by the convention several
weeks ago.
Mr.. Moseley was the choice of Cobb coun-
ty, it being that county's time to name
The senator under the rotation system, but
after nearly 1900 ballots by the convention,
he was turned down because Fulton coun-
ty would not have him, and Col. Nesbitt,
the present commissioner of agriculture,
was nominated.
Col. Nesbitt Is also a Cobb county man,
and it was thought this would satisfy the
people Of that county.
Mr. Moseleys friends are not satisfied,
however, and viii insist upon fighting it
out a the balloI box.
Mr. Moseley has not announced him in
tention as yet, but it is believed that he
VIII run against Col. Nesbitt.
