Bllneo’l liar-ll Reply. It is not generally known that in re- spocKse to the-manly and pathetic report by cable to Blanca announcing the loss of his squadron. Cervera received a most harsh and unsympathetic reply. but such is the case. Blunco‘s purpose in this may have been to dissuade other Spanish commanders. military and naval. from surrendering under any ((vntlitions. and in the case of Tomi it appears that he has made a strong im- presslun. EIN'evertheless confidence waxes in the speedy fall of Santiago, though many officers fear that the nest will be found empty and the birds flown when the American troops make their entry into the town. Still. should this be the case. it ma)~ be fairly claimed that the prime object of the movement on Santiago, namely, the destruction of the 3panish squadron. having been achieved. the campaign as a whole has been successful. Removal 01 the lines. The most.‘ important result of the cabinet deliberations Tuesday was the order to remove the mines which guard all the coast-ports. Many mili- tary men were opposed to yielding to the pressure- 01 the commercial inter- ests and some of them are predicting that not a few of'the communities which have been so earnest in their demand for the removal of the mines will be frantically clamoring for pro- tection at the very first rumor nt'the presence of a hostile gunhoat or cruiser otf their coast. II Stlll Alive. Admiral Sampson telegraphed to the department that Capt. Caucus. of the Spanish navy. who VQas reported to have been killed in the destruction of the Spanish squadron, is alive. wound- ed. and on the hospital ship Solace.

July 11, via Kingston, Jamaica. July 13.â€"The United States navy has the following problem pre- sented to it: What is the best manner of efléctively bombarding a city dis- tant 4" miles and concealed from view by a range of bills 250 feet high at its lowest part? The problem has been satisfactorily solved. So. if the army hereafter never fired a shot and mere- ly guarded the roads, the 1131.) could make Santiago untenable. if indeed it did not totally destroy it in a few days Washington. July 13.â€"The impres- sion prevailed in official circles when public business closed for the day that the flag of truce set in the Spanish lines at Santiago at two o’clock Mou- da)’ afternoon was still flying. and that negotiations continued looking to a surrender. The basis for these nego- tiations naturally couid’not be very broad in view of the injunction the president laid upon Gen. Shafter to accept nothing less than uncondition» al surrender, but it is supposed that time may be consumed through the. in- dulgence of Gen. Shafter in allowing the Spunihh commander to communi- cate by cable with Capt. Gen. Blanco in the eflorttto obtain his assent to the surrender. fGen. ’I‘oral undoubtedly has before his eyes the vindictive abuse heaped upon the unfortunate naval commander Cervera for surrendering at all. so that he probably will be bound by the direction of Blanco in his own case.

Monday's Bombardment. Sunday’s practice was good. but. it was better Monday when the firing wu opened by the New York. which re- turned-from Guantanamo my during the night. The New York. Brooklyn and Indiana were the shipa which por- ticipated in the sheling Monday morn- ing. Each shot was carefully calcu- lated. 'and the wig-wag signaled from the shore to the ships where each shell fell. and notified the‘gunnen if they had proper elevation. The ships ran out their big guns on the side opposite the firing. in order to secure the desired list to port or to starboard. Gen. Shatter signalled about noon that: “Some of the shells fell in the bay and some, in the city. The latter do not appear to do great damage.” Com- ment on this subject was chungedim- mediately by :1 message saying: “The last shot struck St. Nicholas’ church. where powder wan stored. blowing up the same. and doing great damage." The efl’ect of the shells when they did hit can easily be imagined when it is known that each of them éarries 253 pounds of explosives and travels 925 feet per second. When such a missile lands at a distance of 4% miles from the muzzle to the city it occupies 22% seconds in in flight. a mile apart. The army signal me- were on the beach opposite the ships and also on the crest of a hill over- lookingboth the ships and the city.
