The COlOred Volunteers Are Making
a Record Of Which the State

THE BEST OF ORDER PREVAILS.

The work Of recruiting troops for the two
colored battalions is about completed. Mon
day night there we're 6S4 men In camp. At
that time but l52 more were needed and
more than that many were at Kansas City

antly located. Splendid order ia maintained
In this respect the volunteers are making
a better record than the white volunteers
did. No complaints are heard as To mis-
conduct and no disturbances Of any kind
nave occurred. The Colored volunteer
seems to have determined to show that he
is capable OF becoming a good soldier and
that he can and will conduct himself In
an orderly way.
In the drill they are making great prog
ress. Men who have frequently visited the
camp and who are Versed In military tac-
ties say that the are learning faster than
the white soldiers did. No explanation is
given or the cause. 1t is probably largely
due to the fact that they give close att
tention to the instruction given. The four
companies which have been uniformed are
becoming quite proficient The officers have
given much attention to their work and are
learning their duties readily Captains
reynolds, Waller and Harvey handle their
men as IL they knew just what they were

are becoming anxious to move and hope
that 1t may not be long until they will be

The splendid conduct Of these volunteers
Is remarked by everybody. Governor Leedy
says that ne has yet to receive q single
complaint against any volunteer, either on
or off duty. In view Of the fact that such
never fail to reach his office Il
Is very probable that the boys have not
failed to attend strictly to their own busl-,

SpaniardS Refuse to Surrender I'm
COnditiOnally and BOmbardment
Began Sunday.
ARMY AND NAVY COOPERATE.

Washington, July 10.-The lombard
ment of Santiago by land and sea has
begun. AT o'clock this afternoon Ad-
miral Sampson, with his battleships, and
General Sharter, with the siege guns,
which, at immense cost of labor have
been placed in position, began to drop
shells into the city. This bombardment
will continue until the time is regarded
as ripe for a land assault on the city,
which will probably be tomorrow Then,
unless the well-laid plans of the Amer
ican commanders fall far short Of ac-
complishment Santiago must capitulate.
When General Toral offered to sur
render the city on condition that he be
permitted to withdraw his army, with
colors flying, General Shafter promptly
replied that only unconditional surren-
der would be considered. At the same
time, he agreed to cable Torals propo-
sition to Washington and to extend the
aTmistice until noon to-day to await a
reply. Before the armistice expired,
General Skaters declination Of Toraps
offer had been ratified in Washington
and Toral had replied in the negative to
Skaters demand for unconditional sur
render. AS soon as possible after, the
bombardment began as is evidenced by
dispatches received tonight only part
of which have been given out.
