render of the city on pain of bombardment. This dispatch Is as follows: "Headquarters United States forces. Near San Juan river, Cuba, July 3, 8:30 a. m. “To the commanding general of the Spanish forces. Santiago de Cuba: “Sir—l shall be obliged, unless you surrender, to shell Santiago de Cuba. Please Inform the citizens of foreign countries and all women and children that they should leave the city before 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. R. SHAFTER. “Major General, U. S. A. “Following is the Spanish reply which Col. Dorst has just returned at 6:30 p. m.: “Santiago de Cuba. 2 p. m., July 3. "His Excellency, the general commanding the forces of the United States, San Juan river: “Sir—l have the honor to reply to your Communication of to-day, written at 8:30 a. m., and received at 1 p. m., demanding the surrender of this city; and that in the contrary case, announcing to me that you will bombard this city, and that I advise the foreign women and children they must leave the city before 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, It is my duty to say to you that this city wiil not surrender and that I will inform the foreign consuls and inhabitants of the contents of your message. Very respectfully, JOSE LORAL, Commander-in-Chlef Fourth Corps. **Tho British, Portuguese, Chinese and Norwegian consuls have come to my line with Colonel Dorst. They ask if noncombatants can occupy the town of Caney and railroad points, and ask until 10 o'clock of the 6th inst. before the city is fired on. They claim that there are between 15,000 and 20,000 people, many of them old, who will leave. They ask if I can supply them with food, which I cannot do for want of transportation to Caney, which is fifteen miles from my landing. The following is my reply: "The Commanding General Spanish forces, Santiago de Cuba: “Sir—ln consideration of the request of the consuls and officers in your city for delay in carrying out my intention to fire on the city, and in the interest of the poor women and children, who will suffer very greatly by their hasty and enforced departure from the city, I have the honor to announce that I will delay such action solely In their interest until noon of the sth, providing during the interval your forces make no demonstration whatever on those of my own. I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, W. R. SHAFTER. * Major General United States Volunteers.” > MASTER OF THE SITUATION. General Shafter’s other dispatches breathe the same air of confidence and determination as shown in his demand on the Spanish commander. The first one made public during the day stated that his lines completely surrounded the towm from the bay on the north to San Juan river on the south, leaving the city thus enveloped by a stretch of water on one side and a stretch of frowning American guns on the other. In another dispatch General Shatter epitomized the strength of his position by saying: “I feel that I am master of the situation and can hold the enemy for any length of time.” In another dispatch General Shatter states that his demand for the surrender of Santiago is still being considered by the Spanish authorities, which indicates that the refusal of the Spanish commander to capitulate was not final. In any event, 12 o’clock on Tuesday marks the limit of Shafter’s concession, and If Santiago has not capitulated at that hour, the great siege guns now brought to the front and in position, backed by the batteries of lighter field pieces, will begin their work of destruction. General Bhafter’s various dispatches, all dated "Headquarters Fifth Army Corpa, near Santiago, July 3, are as follows: To-night my lines completely surrounded the town from Bayonne, north of the. city, to a point on the San Juan river on the south. The enemy holds from the west bend of the San Juan river at its mouth, up the railroad to the city. General Pando, I find to-night, is some distance away and will not get into Santiago. "SHAFTER.” “Killed a Spanish general In the affair at Caney and a large number of officers and men who are still unburied. General Linares’s arm was broken. My demand for surrender of Santiago still being considered by the Spanish authorities. Pando has arrived rear break in railroad with his advance. I tdiink he will be stopped. SHAFTER.” "When tho news of the disaster to the Spanish fleet reached the front, which was during the truce, the regimental band that had managed to keep its instruments on the line, played ‘The Star-spangled Banner,’ and •There’ll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night.’ Men cheering from one end of the line to the other. Officers and men without even shelter tents hhve been soaking for five days in the afternoon rains, but all are happy. SHAFTER.”, MILES TO LEAD AN EXPEDITION. General Miles sent the following dispatch

“ She comes from the past and re-visit* my room; She looks as she did then, all beauty and bloom. So smiling and tender, so fresh and so fair. And yonder she sits in tny canebottomed chair." Many a man sits silent and alone in a home of mourning and conjures up before his eyes the face and form of the woman who was once a loving wife and a faithful , helpmate. In thousands of such cases the t wife might still be alive and well and happy, bad the man been not only a good husband, but a wise adviser. Women shrink from the ordeal of consulting a physician. They shudder at the thought of submitting to the obnoxious examinations insisted upon by most physicians. In the majority of cases they have none of this hesitancy about consulting their husbands. A wise man will understand at once that troubles of this description will soon break down a woman’s general health. He will understand that a specialist of eminence and world wide reputation should be frankly consulted at once. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years < hies consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., is one of the most eminent and widely-known specialists in the world. With the assistance of a staff of able physicians, he has prescribed for many thousands of ailing women. He has discovered a wonderful medicine for women, that may be used in the privacy of their homes. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It cures 6urely, speedily and permanently,all weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. It allay* inflammation, heals ulceration, soothe* pain, gives rest to the tortured nerves, and checks debilitating drains.

Ready to Enter tlie Cana!. PORT SAID, July 4, 10 p. m. — The whole of Admiral Camara’s squadron has re-entered the harbor, including-the transports. The Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Proserpina and the collier San Augustin have also arrived. to General Shatter before the news of the destruction of the fleet: "Accept my hearty congratulations on the record made of magnificent fortitude, gallantry sftd sacrifice displayed in the desperate fighting of the troops before Santiago. I realize the hardships, difficulties and sufferings, and am proud that amid those terrible scenes the troops illustrated such fearless and patriotic devotion to the welfare of our common country and flag. Whatever the results to follow their unsurpassed deeds of valor, the past is already a gratifying chapter of history. Expect to be with you within one week with strong reinforcements. "MILES, Major General Commanding.” General Shafter’s reply is as follows: “I thank you in tho name of the gallant men I have the honor to command for the splendid tribute of praise which you have accorded them. They bore themselves as American soldiers always have. Your telegram will be read to all the regiments in the morning. I feel that I am master of the situation and can hold the enemy for any length of time. I am delighted to know that you are coming; that you may see for yourself the obstacles which this army had to overcome. My only regret is the great number of gallant souls who have given their lives for our county’s cause. "SHAFTER.” Assistant Adjutant General Wagner sent the following from General Shafter’s headquarters: "Pando six miles north with 5,000. Garcia opposes with 3,000. Lawton can support Garcia and prevent junction.” Adjutant Corbin sent the following message to General Shatter this afternoon: "As soon as you can do so advisedly, telegraph me your recommendations for promotions.” This action was taken at the instance of the President and Secretary Alger. THE PRESIDENT TO SAMPSON. The following message was sent to Admiral Sampson to-day by the President: “You have the gratitude and congratulations of the whole American people. Convey to your noble officers and crews through whose valer new honors have been added to the Americans the grateful thanks and appreciation of the Nation. "WILLIAM M’KINLEY.” The pressing need of reinforcing Shatter is no longer felt, now that the Spanish fleet is cut of the way. A considerable number of men, however, are already on the way and others will follow. The changed naval situation will bring no abatement in the activity of the authorities here in carrying the war directly home to Spain. There is renewed determination to get Commodore Watson’s eastern squadron away at the earliest moment, for the double purpose of striking a blow at the coast towns of Spain, and of pursuing Admiral Camara’s fleet, which has halted at the entrance of the Suez canal. Secretary Long made the official statement to-day that the fleet would sail at the earliest possible moment, and although he did not go into details as to its purpose, it is well understood that it will devote its attention to the Spanish coast and to Camara. The destruction of the Spanish fleet at Santiago relieves Admiral Sampson from surveillance of this squadron, and he can readily spare the ships intended for the attack on the Spanish coast. SAMPSON TO BE AN ADMIRAL. It has been “Acting Admiral Sampson” for some time, but that it will be “Admiral Sampson” in fact as well as name is the prevailing feeling in naval circles as a result of the victory reported by the American admiral. Shortly after the war broke out Captain Sampson was made acting admiral in order to give him a rank fitting his high command, although his actual naval rank remains at captain. By a singular coincidence his rank was advanced to-day to that of commodore, owing to the retirement of Admiral Kirkland. In the event of his now’ being made an admiral it would advance him over the ten commodores making up the list of that grade and would place him just below that very famous hero of the war, Admiral Dewey. It Is, of course, purely conjectural thus far, but it is a conjecture which receives such common acceptance in naval quarters that it is most likely to be realized. The release of Hobson and the other heroes of the Mcrrimac Incident is likely to be another result of the events transpiring to-day. It may now come about either by the surrender of the city, which would include the surrender of Hobson and other American prisoners in the city, or else by the exchange of Hobson for Admiral Cervera or some other high ranking naval official. Until to-day the possibilities of exchanging Hobson were slight, as this government had no Spanish prisoners of high rank to offer in his place. Now. however, they have one of the foremost admirals of Spain, and among tho 1,300 other naval prisoners there are many officers of distinguished rank. To exchange a Spanish admiral for an American naval constructor might seem strange under ordinary circumstances, but it would be done without any begrudging by the authorities here, and would be particularly. appropriate in view of the action of Cervera at the time Hobson surrendered to him. The dispatch from the front 6aylng that there was likely to be some criticism because of the treatment of foreign military attaches excited much indignation among the military authorities here. It was stated by one of the highest officers in the service that the foreign gentlemen had received absolutely everything in the way of accommodation, supplies, rations, etc., given to our own officers and men. What was most surprising was ti.?t this protest should come at a moment when our men were fighting in swamp and thicket, under a blazing sun, with a thousand dead or wounded and under the fire of an intrenched enemy. There Is every disposition here to extend the most complete courtesy to these gentlemen that Is consistent with the circumstances. There is no purpose, however, to recognize them

Determination Reached at Yesterday’s Session of the War Board. ■WASHINGTON, July 4.—The war board was in session with President McKinley for considerably over an hour to-day. Secretary of State Day, Secretary of War Alger, Secretary of the Navy Long, General Miles, commanding the army, Admiral Sicard and Captains Mahan and Crowninshield were present. The telegrams received over night and to-day were laid before the board, and there was a general conference on the situation. The most important action taken was a decision to expedite the departure of the fleet under Commodore Watson to tho Spanish coast. The administration is desirous of beginning the bombardment of the important coast cities of Spain as soon as possible, and the events of the past twentyfour hours make the project all the more feasible. With all opposition to Sampson’s fleet removed, Watson will sail at the earliest moment, and this announcement was made by Secretary Long with great satisfaction. The matter of reinforcements for the American position at Santiago was taken up by the board, which concluded that before reinforcements could reach Shatter the necessity at that point would be passed. Troops, however, will be sent, but they are not in the nature of reinforcements. The troops, it is stated, wall be dispatched as early as possible, but whether they will go direct to Cuba or Porto Rico, the next point of attack, is yet a matter of some doubt. From Ex-Senutor Brice’s Sons. LONDON, July 4.—Former United States Senator Calvin S. Brice, who is now in London, received this evening cablegrams from his two sons, one with the army at Santiago de Cuba and the other with the transports that have arrived at Manila. Both dispatches gave excellent reports of the respective situations. ACTRESS MORA KILLED ONE OF MANY VICTIMS OF A TORNADO AT HAMPTON BEACH, N. H. ♦ Heavy Storm on North Atlantic Const, with Thirty Killed and One Hundred Seriously Hurt. HAMPTON, N. H., July 4.—A tornado struck a section of Hampton beach at 3:15 o’clock to-day causing immense damage to beach property and great loss of life. The tornado touched the beach at a place about half a mile north of Whittier’s Hotel, and cut a rotary swath one hundred yards wide in a westerly direction, moving in rotary shape until it passed out to sea. Twenty cottages were torn down and several small hotels wrecked. The greatest loss of life end injury came with the demolition of the old skating rink, near Levitt’s, a singlestory structure of wood, 500x100 feet in size. Here from seventy-five to 125 persons were seriously injured, an unknown number slightly wounded and seven persons are already dead. A yacht owned by Capt. Frank Mudd was In the path of the storm and went down with nine persons, of whom five were drowned: Walter, Gertrude and Ralph llodgeson, Kensington, N. H.; Mrs. W. H. Parker, Kensington, and Captain Mudd, Hampton. The list of dead on shpre reported at 8 o’clock w r as as follows: Mora, the actress, who was playing a piece entitled “The blowing Up of the Maine;” Miss Alae Prescott, r.xoter; Samuel Cammelt, Exeter; William E. Karlson, Exeter. Among those believed to be fatally injured in the pavilion are: Miss O. D. Pressey, Haverhill, Muss.; J. F. Pennington, Exeter, and W. H. barber, Exeter. Karlson was taken out dead, but Mora, the actress, was alive when tound and died shortly alter. THE SURF CITY SWAMPED. Out of Sixty Passengers Probably Twenty Were Drowned. BEVEIiEY, Mass., July 4.—The small excursion steamer Surf City, with about sixty passengers on board, while half way over from Salem Willows to her wharf here, a distance of about two miles, was struck by a terrific squall about 6 o’clock and capsized. Os those on board a majority is believed to have been rescued by boats from both the Salem and Beverly shores, but no less than six bodies had been recovered at dark, and as it is known that many rushed into the cabin before the squall, it is thought that twice as many bodies are still confined there. As one or two of those taken ashore are in a critical condition, it appears likely that the list of dead may reach a score. The following bodies were recovered from the wreck: Mrs. CATHERINE D. WEBER, twentyfive years old, of beverly. Miss GRACE SNELL, tnirteen years old, daughter of Arthur Snell, of Beverly. Son of JOHN KENNEY, aged three, of Beverly. TWO UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN. ONE UNIDENTIFIED BOY, aged six. Os those rescued Miss Bertha Eivett, of North Beverly; Hazel Hersey, one year old, of Beverly Miss Emerson, of Danvers, and an unknown two-year-old girl are still in a critical condition. Otto Oaris, the fireman, w’as badly scalded. The vessel had just reached Beverly bar when the storm struck the boat, and at the same time a lightning bolt struck the beacon at the end of the bar. The boat sank in about fifteen feet of water. The steamer was seen to go down by persons on both sides of the bay and boats immediately put out to the wreck, reaching her in a few minutes. Those in the water were quickly hauled aboard, and with the living were drawn into the boat a number of dead, including the bodies of two children. Over half of those on board were women. TWO INDIANIANS KILLED. / Artillery Recruits Mangled by a Premature Explosion of a Gun. KEY WEST, Fla., July 4, 11 p. m.—Benjamin Kimmell and Alvan Harper, two recruits of the First Artillery, at Fort Taylor garrison, were instantly killed by the premature explosion of a powder charge in a gun at noon to-day. The bodies of both men were hurled twenty yards over the parapet into the sea and w r ere literally blown to pieces. With Emlen Clark, another recruit, Harper and Kimmell were handling gun No. 10, a ten-inch muzzleloading Rodman, which had not been used for a year. They had fired one charge and after swabbing out the cannon were ramming home a second charge of twenty-five pounds of powder, when it was ignited by the burning shred-casing of the first cartridge. Clark, who was holding the vent, was unprovided with thumb-stalls, and when the flaming gas bit into his flesh he lifted his thumbs and the entire charge was exploded. Harper and Kimmell were standing just in front of the muzzle. The shattered bodies were picked up by the patrol tug Frank and were buried at sundown not far from the graves of the Maine victims. Kimmell w r as twenty-one years old and was born in Monroe county, Indiana. Harper was two years older and came from New Winchester, Ind. Movements of Steamers.

REJOICING AT MADRID SPANIARDS PRETEND TO FEEL GLAD OVER CERVERA’S “SORTIE.” —♦ They Acknowledge Loss of Two “Destroyers,” bnt Claim to Know Nothing? About Other Ships. * BLANCO IN EVIDENCE AGAIN HE HAS NO NEWS, BUT CABLES A RUMOR TO MADRID. Say* It Is Reported Cervera Has Reached a Port of Southern Cuba— Reversal of Peace Tulk. ♦ MADRID, July 4, 10 a. m.—At the conclusion of yesterday’s Cabinet meeting the ministers announced that official confirmation had been received of the report that General Vara de Rey and two of General Linares’s aids-de-camp were among the killed in the third attack upon El Caney. The American losses are said, from Spanish sources, to have exceeded two thousand men. It is reported that General Linares has succumbed to his wounds, but the statement Is not confirmed. Noon—An official dispatch received here from Santiag(f de Cuba says Admiral Cervera’s squadron has succeeded in “making a sortie” from Santiago. No details are given. The minister of war has received a dispatch from Santiago de Cuba giving the Spanish losses during the two days’ fighting at “two hundred killed and wounded.” A later official dispatch from Santiago says: “Admiral Cervera’s squadron made a sortie from Santiago, traversing the channel without Incident. But a heavy cannonade •was heard outside the harbor, and it is supposed a naval battle was proceeding. General Escarija’s column has forced its way through the American lines and has entered Santiago.” C p. m.-An official dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says: “Admiral Cervera’s fleet sustained for an hour the fire of the American fleet. It then disappeared westward, followed by the American squadron. We lost two torpedo boat destroyers.” The dispatch then announces as follows: “To General Shatter's demand for the surrender of the city, expiring at 10 o’clock the next morning, the Spanish commander replied: ’lt is my duty that orders me to defend the place to the end.’ ” The ministers, on leaving the Cabinet council, said they knew nothing of Admiral Cervera’s squadron further than the dispatches revealed. Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of w’ar, said he believed Admiral Cervera had gone to Havana. 10 p. m.—Thunderstorms, very heavy, and causing fatalities, have partially interrupted telegraph communication, and only meager news is published. There are great rejoicings over Admiral Cervera’s quitting the narbor of Santiago, but there is an undercurrent of great anxiety as to his fate. It is considered preferable that he should even succumb to Admiral Sampson’s superior forces than remain to be sunk by General Shatter’s artillery. General Blanco cables as follows. “No details have been received as to the naval fight, but it is rumored that Admiral Cervera reached a port of southern Cuba.” It is officially announced that the last vessels of Admiral Camara’s squadron have passed the Suez canal. Spanish Paper Urges Peace. BARCELONA, July 4.—The Diario publishes a remarkable article strongly urging peace between Spain and the United States, during the course of which it says: “The Americans are winning by strength of will and perseverance, and while the w>ar responds to the national feeling of all Americans, Spain was forced into the war by party politics.” Then the article, after declaring the Americans were the aggressors and that Spairt was bound to defend her national honor, says: “Our honor being satisfied, nothing compels us to continue such an unequal combat. We cannot compel those who have gone to the war to defend our honor to fight to the death. Those who are directing the struggle ought to put an end to the duel when it is materially impossible, for one of the combatants to continue it.” Will Die Before Yielding. LONDON, July 4.—A special dispatch from Madrid quotes Premier Sagasta as saying, in an interview', that he thought the Americans would “get the reinforcements they had required, w’hich would enable them to take Santiago de Cuba.” The premier is said to have added: “Though the Am- rican war ships may destroy our squadron in the harbor, yet we will pursue the war. There are in Cuba 100,000 men ready to die in its defense, but they will not -yield.” Sagasta Is Said to Desire Peace. PARIS, July 4.—A dispatch to the Matin from Madrid, published to-day, says: “In spite of the bellicosity of the official utterances, Sencr Sagasta is ardently desirous of peace, and has already taken steps to arrange for a cessation of hostilities. The general feeling of the Cabinet yesterday evening was that peace should be immediately sought if disaster overtakes Santiago de Cuba.” Le Temps Gives Spain Advice. • PARIS, July 4.—The Temps this afternoon says: “The capture of Santiago de Cuba is an irreparable blow for the Spaniards.” The paper concludes its article by saying: “Spain has not an hour to lose to negotiate for peace.” GERMAN’S CRITICISED. Incidents of tle Arrival of the Transports nt Manila. LONDON. July s.—The Hong-Kong correspondent of the Daily Mall says: “The triumphal entry of the reinforcing squadron into Manila harbor was marred by an unpleasant incident, for which the Germans were responsible. As the ships came up the bay they were closely followed by the German war ship Kaiserin Augusta, which had been cruising about Marivelee for some time. The impression given every one who watched her was that she was not only making a close observation of the American tcrccs, but endeavoring to show both Americans and Spaniards that she represented a nation which must be reckoned with in the present crisis. The feeling among both Americans and Englishmen in the bay is that Germany’s attitude, as shown by those movements, is highly reprehensible and anything but respectful to the United Stales. Many German merchants at Manila are almost as much displeased by the incident as are the English. “Tne annexation of the Ladrone islands was marked by a ludicrous incident. The Charleston entered the harbor of Guahan and fired seven guns at the forts. The governor, thinking this was a salute, sent word that he regretted his inability to return It, as he was without powder. When informed that he w’as a prisoner of war he indignantly protested, raying that he had no idea that war had broken out. An American citizen residing in the town was appointed provisional governor of the Ladrones. “Among those on board the captured Spanish gunboat Leyte was the governor of Pampangas, with 180 officers and men. Harassed by the rebels and believing that starvation was at hand they evacuated Pampangas and were trying to cross to Manila harbor when they were captured. “The United States cruiser Baltimore met the transports off Cape Engano, on the northern coast of Luzon, on Tuesday, June 28. When the troop ships were signted by the American squadron in the mouth of the bay the crews of the latter crowded upon the decks and received their comrades with enthusiastic cheers. Complete preparations had been made for the reception of the reinforcements at Cavite, the navy yard, arsenal, forts and barracks having been transformed into an admirable camp which has been christened Camp Dewey. “Manila is in a state of excitement bordering on panic. Thousands of foreigners, anticipating bombardment, have taken refuge on the neutral ships in the harbor. Meanwhile General Aguinaldo’s wild levies continue to attack the Spanish outposts incessantly. They have tightened the cordon around Manila on the south side and have captured and destroyed a Spanish magazine. General Agulnaldo is confident of being able to prevent General Monet from effecting a junction with the garrison at Manila.”

A Little Talk on Onyx Black Hosiery It is now nine years since a Yankee chemist discovered the process of dyeing a perfectly fast black, the outcome of which is manifest in several processes, one of the best of which is known as the Onyx dye. Not much prior to the advent of the fast black another genius had invented a knitting machine which would turn out a stocking without a raw seam. That process has now been improved until the fit of a stocking is almost perfect. Hosiery so fashioned is termed full regular made. The carelessness of the dyer sometimes left an otherwise perfect stocking open to criticism by over-dyeing—although the color would not fade, still some would rub off. To obviate that difficulty, the more expesive hosiery yarns were dyed before being knit. This processes known as ingrain dyeing. Another term much used in describing hosiery is split sole. This is a very poor way of saying that while the stocking is black the sole is knit on of natural color or white yarn. Quite recently some wise man found a way of making certain portions of the hose like heel or toe double. This is what is meant by spliced heel or toe; high or low splice refers to the extent of the reinforcement. Lisle thread is different from ordinary cotton in that fach thread of yarn has been stretched to great tension and then singed so as to leave a strong and perfectly smooth fiber—a result not unlike raw silk. These facts will help you to buy good hosiery. Now for the sequel: We have one hundred dozen each of Onyx black hosiery like the following and we are going to sell them cheaper than you ever saw so good a hose sold for before. Ladies’ Lisle Thread Stockings, black ingrain dye, white heels and toes, highspliced heel and full regular made oq „ and shaped, each pair Ladies' Fine Cotton Hose, full regular made and shaped, with high-spliced heel, split soles, white toe.
