General Toral, the commander of the Spanish force in Santiago, ofi‘cred terms of surrender, which were refused, and the bombard- ment was resumed on Sunday after- noon, but did not last long, and the statement made at least two or three times that the city would be immediate- ly taken, has not been verified. The American ships can do very little to- wards the capture of Santiago, as they fear to enter the harbor, on account of mines and. other obstructions, and out at sea the fire from their guns is very ineffective. There is a wide diflercnce of opinion as to how long the war will last, but acne as to what the end will be. It is said that negotiations for peace are under way, but they may come to nothing,~for the Spaniards are a proud.and£haughty race, and will not yield,- even to the inevitable, untilithe last moment, unless carefully handled. They are getting money somewhere, and can prolong the war for a considerable time if determined to do so and regard- less of consequences. The destruction of Cervcra’s ships makes it an easy matter for the States to send a fleet to bombard the coast of Spain, but the avowed intention of doing so has been temporarily abandoned; and Admiral Sampson’s threat to bombard every Cuban port if the island were not evacuated within forty-eight hourswas not carried out. The London Times thinks the Government at Washington unwise to insist upon the unconditional surrender of Santiago. It says : “ Besidesrisking an. unnecessary loss of life. without appreciably furthering.r the conquesr of Cuba, the United Stales may soon find themselves in a position of serious moral responsibility for thcl starving population.” Dreadlul Disaster at Sea. One of the most dreadful marine disasters of modern times occurredat 5 l o’clock on the morning- of the 4th inst, when the French passenger steamer Liz l erqogne collided with the British l iron. sailing ship Crnmurlg/shirc sixty: miles soulll of Sable Island and sank a t 1.“; minutes. later with 725 persons on board; of whom only 165 were saved! There was a dense log at the time, and the French liner was touring along at; the rate of nearly 20 miles an hour ;l but the British vessel was proceediugl slowly and cautiously, with her leg: horn blowing at brief and regular inter- ? vols. The great majority of those lost; were, of course. drowned, but not a fewâ€"l woromincrcdible as it sonndsâ€"killcdg by the French and Dalian sailors, who, x it is said, “acted like demons" knock. ing passengers on the head to prevent; them from getting on to the boats, and ' in some cases striking them with knives. , That this terrible charge against them ,' is true is proved by the fact that of those who escaped the great majority were sailors. ()l' the many children on board, not one was saved, and of about , three hundred women the only survivor is the wife of Mr. Lacasse, a language . teacher of Plainvillc, N. J., who man-,' aged to plac her upon some of the, wreckage. C ' hold of a towline behind a boat in which were a number of men, one of whom of La Bourqogne stuck to his post and went down with his ship. Possibly, if he and his oficcrs had had more time, they might have calmed the sailors’ panic and induced them to act a little less like savages. No such abject cow- ardice and gross inhumanity ever have ‘ been, or are ever likely to be, exhibited by the crew of a British ship. The Cromartyshire, which had one of her bows torn away by the collision, was towed by the Allan liner Grecian. to Halifax. N. S., where she arrived on the morning of the 6th. The Harvest Outlook. Under the above heading the Globe summarizes the reports of its travelling correspondents relative to the condition of the crops and the harvest prospects throughout this Province; and, with favorable weather during the remainder of the season, 1898 will be a jubilee year with Ontario farmers. In the districts of Kent and Lambton there has been hardly enough rain, but every- where else there have been frequent and abundant showers, and grain, roots-and hay are all looking unusually well ; but some kinds of fruit will be hardly up to, and others much below the average. though there is an unusually good yield of strawberries and raspberries. In this part of the Province the prospects of an abundant harvest are most cheer- ing, almost everything looking well, and the yield of hayâ€"most of which has been got in without a drop of rainâ€"is so great that it is now being sold at $7) a ton, and many think that, when sleigh- ing sets in, clover, if not timothy, will go down to $4. The frost on Sunday night did some harm, but not much. and a season without any drawback can hardly be hoped for. All; classes of the community are to be congratuâ€" lated on the bright outlook; for agricul- ture is the chief industry of this Pro- vince,'and when the farmers have the wherewithal to pay their debts (inclu- ding subscriptions to newspapers), buy labor-saving implements and make im- provements in their premises, almost everybody receives more or less benefit. either directly or indirectly, from the money thus put into circulation. The Glorious Twelfth. Tuesdaydast, the 12th of July, was a very quiet day in Fenelon Falls; that is, after 8.30 a. m , when the palace barge Chemongleft, towed by the Dawn and Water ll’itch in double harness, for Lindsay, with the Oranucmen and True Blues of the village and its vicin- ity, where there was one of the biggest demonstrations on record. Earlier in the morning the Greyhound-left with a good many passengers on board; and when the Maple Leaf arrived from Coboconk she was so crowded that the captain refused to take any more; and a few persons who intended to go on her from hereto Lindsay were disap- pointed oud had to remain at home, and we heard that a great many were left behind at Coboconk. The Greg/â€" 71mm]. and 3141ch LII/If, which were running regular trips. got back to the Falls early in the evening, as usual; but the (ll/muonq did not arrive until 9 o’clock, as she was towed by the Dawn alone on the return trip. which was necessarily a slow one. We did not go to Lindsay; but some of those who were there place the attendance at on almost incrediblcnumber of thou- sands, and say that the procession was almost three miles long. The weather was all that could be desired,nnd those who went to Lindsay by water had a most delightful trip. The following is the account of the day's proceedings telegraphed to the city papers . “ l’romptly at l- o'clock the proccs sion was formed zit-the Market square. under the direction of Chief Marshals Bro. Joseph Brown and Bro. W. G. Woods, and paraded the principal streets, headed by the 46th Battalion Band of Port Hope, and it is: only fair % to say that it was the best ‘conductod and most imposing parade ever witness- cd here. Some of the prominent men noticed in the procession were : Organ- izer llobcrt Birmingham, Rev. H. C.

Sam Hughes, M. P., Robert Birmingham, Toronto, Thos. Stevenson, Omcmec. and others. The Petcrborough band played “Yankee Doodle " during the ceremonies, and every speaker spoke in favor of the Anglo Saxon alliance. The Lady True Blues from Crillia came in for favorable comment, being dressed in pretty gowns of white mus- lin, with bloc sashes. Taken altogether, the affair was the largest and best dem- onstration of any kind ever held in the County of Victoria. Nothing occurred to mar the harmony of the proceedings, which were characterized throughout by strict sobriety and order." Soldiers’ Memorial; Mrs. Cornelius Curtis of this village,, who is a daughter of Mr. Alexander Hume of Cobocouk, has four brothers. and two sisters living at Green Bay, Wisconsin, nodtwo of the young med. Alexander and Joseph, aged respective- ly about 22 and 18 yours, enlisted in the American nrmy soon after the declaration of war against Spain. 0:) Saturday last Mrs. Curtis receivedâ€"- from whom there is no means of telling â€"-a sheet of stiii' paper headed " Sol- diers’ Mcmorinl,” giving the names of the officers and men of the Second. Division of Company .-\., Wisconsin Volunteers. The mnncs of Mrs. Cur- tis’s two brothers were in the list of privates, of whom there were exactly a hundred; and, fearing that the memorial might be a record of the killed in our. of the recent battles, she and other rel- atives of the young men felt very un« easy. There was, however, no explau~ ation in the document as to its meanâ€" ing, and, from what Mrs. Curtis [Olli- us, we think, as well as hope, that her fears as to the safety of her brothers are groundless. fortnight ago Mr. Hume received a letter from his youngest daughter, at Green Bay, stating that the boys were to leave for Cuba on July lst; and. as the memorial reached here on the 9th, there would not be time between those two dates for the trip to be made, a. battle to be fought and 9. list of the killed prepared, printed and conveyed to their relativics. We did not sec the memorial, as it was taken to Coboconk on Monday by Mr. Hume; but we have little doubt that it was simply intended as a memento of the “ Second Division of Company A, Wisconsin Volunteers," ' and was printed before they sailed for Cuba. Personals. Miss Cullon left on Tuesday to visit ' friends at Pctcrborough and Marmora. Mr. .A. E. Guido] left on Wednesday for a business trip to Ottawa, and will be home on Saturday.
