Half dozen COWS, writes Robert

off by fence, behind which were six
fine looking cows with several calves.
On the shop side of the fence were
tables at which sat Spanish men and
women slipping and smoking.
Taking seats where we. could watch
the cattle, we called for "Leche.

NJ. CAME BON
Was TO See the President Yesterday
About a Matter That is Not Made
Public.

Washington, July 1.-THE French
ambassador, NJ. Cambon, and his first
secretary, NJ Thibeaut, were at the
State department to-day. This natur-
ally aroused renewed conjecture as to
a peace movement, but It was stated Of
ficially that the ambassador had not
mentioned the subject Of peace and
that his visit was directed solely to
learning something Of the several Span
ish officers now prisoners.
1t can be stated on authority that
the conference Of Ambassador Cambon
with the President had no relation
whatever to the Spanish-American war
or TO peace negotiations.
The French ambassador left this af-
ternoon for New York He probably
will go to Newport and Bar Harbor be-
fore he returns His call on the Pres
ident naturally excited much comment.
and led to reports that Spain had asked
for peace through French channels.
The subject discussed by the ambassa-
dor will be made known in the course
Of a few days in connection with an
interesting occasion, the details Of
which cannot now be made public, but
which. when disclosed. will show that
the conference to-day did not relate TO
the war in any respect.

Off Santiago de Cuba, July 10.
via Kingston, Jamaica, July IL,
1870 a. m.-The board of survey
appointed to examine the wrecks OF
the Spanish ships and to inquire in
to the nature Of their injuries, re-
ports that only one ship can posi-
bly, be saved. She is the lnfanta
Maria Teresa, the former flagship
of Admiral Cervera.
The hull of the Cristobal Colon
shows she was only hit six times
and then only by shells of S-inch,
5-inch and 6-inch calibre. This YER
ifies the story that the commander
OF the Cristobal Colon surrendered
because he saw she could not get
away from the Brooklyn and Ore
gon and TO continue the battle
meant a sacrifice Of life. Il was
found that the brass plugs of the
largs guns and the bolts and locks
of the small arms had been thrown
overheard.
The Vizcaya showed she had been
riddled by the Brooklyn and Ore
gon. She had been struck by pro-
jectiles larger than eight inches.
There was no sign of her having
been struck by a shell Of Il or IL
inches. Her upper works were rid
died by one and six-pounder shells.
Nearly all OF these shells exploded
inside the superstructures and must
have driven the men from the guns.
This confirms the story Of Captain
Eulate that the Brooklyn's second
ary battery fire was so terrible
that the men deserted their guns.
The survey board arrived at the
wrecks OF the Almirante Oquendo
and Infanta Maria Teresa last night
at dark and the work consequently
was postponed.
A singular fact noted on the four
ships is that all the guns were
trained forward and the story that
they were all directed TO fire on the
Brooklyn is therefore shown TO be
true.
The magazines of all the ships
exploded, and the effect was to blow
up the decks and not completely
pulverize the hull or turn the keel
up as was in the case OF the battle
ship Maine This Us looked upon az

Dispatch Boat Dandy, off Aqua
dores, Cuba, July 10, via Port An
tonic and Kingston, Jamaica, July
11-9:45 a. m.-The Brooklyn,
Texas and Indiana, under Commo-
dore Schley, began the lombard
ment of the city Of Santiago at
5:15 this afternoon, in obedience
to the request from Gen. Shafter
conveyed by signal from the
shore.
The warships lined up from west
to east a quarter Of mile from
the shore, and fired over the lime
stone cliffs that come down to the
sea and hide the city, five miles
away.
After So shots had been fired
from the eight-inch guns, Com
modore Schley became convinced
that the Brooklyn's fire was falling
short and ordered a cessation, per-
uniting the battleships TO con-
tinue with their larger guns, hav-
ing longer range. The shots were
fired apparently with great delib-
Grafton and at intervals OF two
minutes. The signals from the
shore announced that the shells
fell a thousand feet short and a
little to the left of the Spanish
position. At dusk the squadron
ceased firing and Commodore
Schley sent a launch to the shore
to ask Gen. Shafter if he desired
firing continued during the night.
When the Associated Press re-
norter went aboard the Brooklyn,
Commodore Schley said he was
ignorant of the purpose OF the pom
bardment. The Associated Press
reporter read TO him a message re-
ceived at Juragua from a mounted
courier saying the armistice was
ended and that hostilities had been
resumed .

CABINET DIVIDED.
The Spanish Peace Party Gaining
Strength---See Spain is No Match
for the United States.

Madrid, July 10, via Hendaye, France,
July lin spite of the fact that pub
lie opinion is divided, it is inclining
rapidly in favor of peace, the people
becoming more convinced every day OF
the impossibility of withstanding the
power of the United States. The peace
party in the cabinet is urging immedi
ate negotiations looking to peace, and
Senior GamaZo, the minister Of public
instruction, threatens to resign If the
war party outweighs his influence.
The war party, however, urges con-
tinuance Of the struggle to convince
America that it is DIFFICULT to obtain a
prompt triumph for her army, and thus
secure for Spain better terms.
There is a split in the cabinet which
will probably result in its resignation
and the formation of an intermediary
government, because Senior Silvela and
the conservatives are unwilling to in
cur the responsibility Of the peace
negotiations. for the best obtainable
terms are certain TO be trying TO Span
ish pride. which will demand a scape-
goat.
The increasing unpopularity Of Senior
Sagasta's government, which is sup
ported by the throne regardless Of pub
lie opinion, may damage the dynasty
The situation is most trying TO the
Queen Regent, who is suffering more
keenly than her subjects, swayed, as
she is. by outside counsels and by the
divided opinion OF the cabinet and ma
ton. Her majesty must soon decide
upon some course of action and will
probably form a government with a
strong military element and including
the most popular politicians She be-
gan consulting on this subject to-day,
and had a long conference with Senior
Romero y Robledo.

When the Dandy left Aguadores

in position.
During the bombardment the
Dandy lay quarter OF mile be-
hind the line OF ships.
When the bombardment began
a heavy rainstorm was in progress,
with thunder and lighting. but ar
tillery fire could be heard on short,
indicating that General Shafter
had resumed hostilities immediate
ly on the ending of the armistice.
Following the roar of Commo-
dore Schley's guns could be heard
the shrieking of the shells as they
sped on their way to the doomed
Spanish city. Then came a long
echo from the hills back OF San
tiago, and sometimes peal OF
thunder prolonged the reverbera-
tons and gave the impression that
the city was ombarded from the
sky, sea and land.
The situation must have been
appalling to the Spaniards, and IL

stration for the mere effect which
it would have on the wavering enc

Siboney, Province of Santiago de
Cuba, July 10, 8 p. M, via Playa
del Este, by the Associated Press
Dispatch Boat Cynthia II.-There
are only seventy-five wounded men
in the hospitals here. who are be-
ing treated for serious amputations
or bone fractures. In the hospitals
at the front there are no wounded
soldiers. The serious cases and all
the rest of the wounded are on
board the hospital ship Relief or on
the transports bound north.
The situation from a sanitary
point Of view is susceptible to
much improvement.
The landing of achievements is
progressing rapidly. All the men
of the First Illinois regiment, six
batteries of light artillery and S51
recruits for the regular infantry
are now ashore, and it is probable
the Eighth Ohio men from the st.
Paul will be landed by noon to-
morrow.
A coal laden schooner, the
Stevens, drifted against the hos
pital ship Relief, and both would
have drifted ashore but for the
prompt assistance rendered them
by the Cynthia II.
Gen. Shafter held a conference
with the American generals at the
front to-day concerning the offer
made by the Spanish commander
Gen. Toral, to surrender Santiago
if the Spanish garrison were al
lowed to march out with side
arms and have twenty miles start
without molestation. Gen. Toral
agreed that if this was accepted
he would not destroy the ships in
the harbor, the ammunition in the
forts Or the buildings in the city.
The majority of the generals, Gen.
Wheeler leading, are in favor OF
the acceptance of these terms, on
the ground that the SpaniardS can
march out to the westward any
how and burn the city, destroy all
the vessels, guns and ammunition
before leaving.

Washington, July 1.-THE Commits

fraction thereof, paid by the principal

as a premium for the bond. A bond
