HurryInS Siege Guns to the trouts
completely block all roads on the north
west. am quite well.
General Garcia reports that enemy
evacuated little town called Descani-
nos, about three miles from Santiago
and near the bay"
(Signed) "SHAFTER,
Information received by the War De-
partment during the few days of truce
indicates that General Shafter has ma
terially strengthened his position. Dur
ing the past week he has received rein
forcements of both artillery and infan-
try. Randolph's battery of "a guns
which left Key West last Tuesday at
midnight is now in position before San
tiago, and, as one Of the War Depart
ment officials expressed it, "When those
Long Toms of Randolph begin to talk,
something will happen in Santiago"
General Shafter has nearly 90 siege
guns and large number of finch NOR
tars, besides lighter artillery, at his dis
posal. These guns, taken in connection
with the work that can be done by the
fleet, will, it is believed, carry terror
and destruction 10 santiago.
The belief is held by the best in
formed officials that General Toral, the
Spanish commander, will surrender
when he finds it will be, impossible for
him to evacuate the city. Upon what
grounds this belief Is based could not be
ascertained, but that information to
that effect is in the hands of the war Of
ficials there is no doubt.
The news of the bombardment came
at the close Of busy Sunday i'll the war
department.. Previous to the receipt of
this dispatch the secretary Of war had
heard twice from General Shafter. In
the early morning came telegram say
ing that he had ridden over the Ameri-
can lines and was gratified at their con-
dition. A second dispatch reported
that the lines were impregnable, thus
removing any fear of a successful sor-
tie by tho Spanish troops should the
manoueyre of this kind be attempted.
Both selegrams, which also emphasized
the fact that General Shafter's physi-
cal condition had greatly improved,
were promptly shown to the president
and occasioned him considerable gratid'
cation.
When questioned as to whether he
believed that there had been a bonn
bardment of the city, General CorbiI
replied last night;
"You know as much about it as do
/ have kept nothing back. should
say, however, that the firing today wal
but the preliminary to the more serious
business of tomorrow
| This being the case, the attempt tx
take the city will probably be made to
day.

FIRE IN ALLEGHENY.
Loss Estimated at over S245, ,OOO-some
Suspicion of BEING Caused By
Spanish Spy.

PITTsBURa, July ia fire in ALE
gheny City last night left in ruins all
that property opposite the bridge on the
west side of Federal street from No.
to II; buildings on River avenue to Bal
kin street, and from River avenue to
No. % on Balkin street; practically de-
stroying the square.
The Delp block, better known as the
old Coliseum building, on Federal
street near the end of the Sixth street
bridge and several other large buildings
in the rear were completely detroyed
by fire, entailing a loss of over $685. 900.
The place was loaded, and the fire,
starting in so close proximity to the ma
chine shop and storage house, looked
rather suspicious TO the Allegheny de-
tectives and police, although the fire
originated in stable nearby.
While it is not directly charged that
the work of destruction is due to a
Spanish spy, suspicion points that way
The fact that the fire broke out ON a
Sunday night, on dark street and at a
time when workmcn could not inter
fere with the plans of any peran who
would attempt to destroy government
projectiles and plants, makes the theory
stronger.

There is more Cstarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing TO
cure with local treatment, pronounced il
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. :, Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
onls constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10

Sixteen Spanish prisoners who were
wounded were turned over to the Span
iards yesterday afternoon. DR.. Good
fellow and Captain Drier escorted the
ambulance and this correspondent ac-
companied them. The Spaniards dis
played great gratitude for this kind
ness, and there was considerable frater-
hizing in which the Spaniards desire
for peace stood out like headlight in a
fog.
There is no doubt that the subordin.
ate Spanish officers are anxious to sur
render, but they practically said that
upon General Toral's decision they
would rest. They admitted that they
were short of provisions, but all APP
peared TO be determined and resolute
and willing to die, if need be, in the

War and the Horse.
Gen. Sherwood, discussing the war
and the horse in the American Sports.
man this week, says:
"In order to increase the army to war
strength, the government needs 500
additional horses for every cavalry regi-
ment, ard every artillery regiment
needs 400. Twenty thousand horses are
needed. at Tampa, five thousand at
Chlcamauga, some four thousand at
Mobile, and eight thousand at other
points. Good cavalry horses are wanted
not to weigh over LOO pounds nor less
than 1000, while horses Weighing 1900
are wanted for wheelers for the heavy
artillery. Besides this demand there is
a demand for over ten Thousand high
class, high mettled saddle horses for the
field and staff officers Of the Infantry
regiments. This demand for horses at
prices at least 25 rercelt above the
present market will give activity and
tone to the horse market throughout the
county, ard if the war should continue
there must be a rapid advance In prices,
for war kills horses faster than it kills
men. But should the war suddenly end,
of course no advance can be anticipated
unless as is predicted in influential
quarters, we are about to enter career
Vt conquest, to be followed by the man

back comes the horse business will boon
But in the land of the Philippines, where
so many ambitious Americans are having
oriental dreams, the horse Is said to be a
great curiosity. OF the ten millions Of
natives Of those vast trop pical islands, not
one ever rode horse. They are mostly
idol worsbippers, but their idols are all
deaf and dumb and dead We might in
tensify their idolatry by sending over a
regin ent Of Roosevelts rough riders to
enable them to change their devotiOns,
even if we did not improve their morals.
