HISTORY OF THE WAR. Important Events Reviewed and Condensed Into Reliable Form for Our Readers.

Tuomlar, Jots 15. President McKinley intends to push the Porto Klean campaign and purposes to have our troops occupy the inland before proposal of pace wlH be received. General Miles' I;arture from Guantar;io for 1'ono Rico was dels) d owing To failure of orders from Washington to reach him. It was believed in Wasbtngton he left Tuesday night, taking the first Illinois refrimpnt with him It i not Stated officiality what troopj are to go to Porte Klco. but it is known that the Third and Fifth Illinois regiments and the Danville battery will go from Chickamauga. sailing from Newport News. There are Indications that the Spanish government will court-martial General Toral for surrendering Santiago, the v laim being set up that he was not expected U surrender any other garrison than his own. Reports from Santiago are that strained relations exist between the Cubans and our troops owing to the refusal of our government to turn over the city to them. Shafter's entire army may have to stay there to pre v. nt overt acts by the Cubans. General B haftet expects to send his prisoners to Spain before next Sunday. Sylvester Scovel, the correspondent who slapped General Shafter's face, has been sent to Sibor.ey as a prisoner. He may be tried ;here Of may be sent to the United States. Ti c Red Cross Society is feeding the pf r pie of Santiago, where tho isands are destitute, the supply of food in the city being exhausted. A fact which is imprr sscd more and more every day upon the American otlieers and men is the increasing strained relations between the Am ricans and General Garcia's Cuban soldiers. Indeed, the situation has now reached a point where there is practically no communication between the armies, and their relations border on those of hostile fortes rather than ihe relations which one would suppose should exist between allies. After General Shafter announced his decision not to let the Cuban Junta enter the City of Santiago deep muttermgs were heard among General Garcias men. It was evident the Cubans Were prettily disappointed at the step taken by the American commander, for they haü c nfidently counted upon having Santiago :urned over to loot and plunder, as they tad in succession sacked Baicpjiri, Sibon y and El Caney. Consequently their disappointment was keen when they ascertained that they were not to be permitted to take possession of the city upon General Toral s surrender, Wedneoduy. .Fuly 20. Two transports sailed from Charleston. B. C. loaded with troops comprising the first expedition for the Invasion of Porto Pico. A third transport will leave in the morning. General Miles is believed to be on his way from Guantanamo to Porto Bico It is stated with authority in Washington that no peace negotiations are under way. President McKinley is determined to carry on the war with such vigor that Spain will beg for terms. Contract for transporting Spanish prisoners from Bantiigo to Spain has been awarded to the Bpanish Transatlantique Company. Its hips are to be manned by Spaniards, but gre assured protection. The company was the k west of a number of bidders. Reports from Santiago are that the Spanish ud American saldier are fraternizing, and that the people arc glad o be freed from Spanish misROVornmetit. Transports pre landtag supplies, and the distress is being redeved. Stores are opening and tus:i; ss is goinf? on. Sentiment in Madrid is -aid to be pronounced in favor of an American protectorate in Cuba in preftrem c to independence, on the theory that property rights would thereby be more Secure An official note issued in Madrid declares that General Toral was not authorized by General Blanco to surrender Santiago, and that he will have to answer before a court-martial. The transport Seneca has arrived at New York from Slboney with many sick on board. Quarantine will be enforced. General Brooke has returned to Chlckamauga, but will yiot announce what troops are to be sent from there to Porto Rico. An unconfirmed report comes from Cuba by way of Jamaica that General Garcia has been hot dead. Members of the Cuban Junta In Washington declare there is no doubt that Cubans will submit to the will of the United States government. Lieutenant Miley of General Shafter's Staff left Santiago with a troop of the Second cavalry, mounted, under Captain Breit, to make the rounds of the entire military district of Santiago de Cuba, and for the purpose of receiving the formal surrender of the Spanish forces. He will go hrst to San Luis, where there are a: ' 4.500 of the enemy's troops. Lieutenant Miley will then receive the surrender, in order, of 800 men at Cobre, 1.200 at Catalina. 2.000 at Guantanamo and 3.500 at Baracoa. A total of 20,000 Spaniards are expected to yield their arms to this one troop of cavalry. To reach Baracoa, Lieutenant Miley will be compelled to ride straight across the island to the northern ' oast, led by a Cuban guide. He will ride under a white flag, for protection, but General Toral has sent members of his Staff ahead to notify the post commanders of the terms of the surrender. Orders .were sent to Admiral Sampson to start at pace with his Meet for the landing place in Porto Itieo which has been determined upon ly the war authorities.

Seven of our lif.le gunboats entered the harbor at Manzunillo, July IS. and destroyed three Bpanish transports, a pontoon used as an ammunition ship, and five gunboats. Nol one of our vessels was injured. Gen. Miles left Guantanamo for Porto Rico Thursday afternoon. Ad the result of the ill feeling between otir troops at Santiago and the Cubans. (Jens. Garcia and Castillo have determined .to cease cooperation with our troops, ami will conduct an independent campaign against the Spaniards, lirst attacking Holguin. It is announced by Secretary Long that the expedition to Spain has not been abandoned, but has been deferred until the Porto Rico campaign permits the withdrawal of the ships. Spain's Judge A Ivocate General at Santiago in an interview gives the Spanish version of the situation preceding the fall of the eity. He says the Spaniards had fought Cubans so long they were surprised by the valor of our soldiers. Spanish troops at Manila deloss on being attacked. The peeond expedition from San Francisco has arrived, and news of an attack on the city by nr army may be expected anv day. Mnli Id advices say there is no indication of peace proposals. The government continue inactive, while the people are demanding peace at any price. The converted yacht Mayflower captured the British steam, r Newfoundland, from Halifax, which .ittempted to run the blockade at Havana. Gov. Tanner has been asked by commanders of provisional regiments to prohibit wholesale enlistments of Illinois men to fill quotas of southern regiments. Great activity prevails at Camp Thomas, Chickaniauga, over orders for troops n move to Porto Rioo. It is thought there feated the insurgents with considerable that 30.000 men will be sent to the front. Raddatz's submarine boat la given a successful trial at Milwaukee. The following is the official account of the latest naval victory that at Manzanillo modestly told by Commander Todd of the United States gunboat Wilmington, in his report to Admiral Sampson: "At 7 o'clock on the morning of July 18 the vessels on blockade duty in this vicinity the Wilmington. Helena, Scorpion, Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck and Osceola approached the harbor of Manzanillo from the westward. At 7:30 o'clock the Wilmington and Helena entered the northern channel toward the city, the Scorpion and Osceola the midchannel, and the Hist. Hornet and Wampatuck the south channel, the movements of the vessels being so timed as to bring them within effective range of the shipping at about the same moment. At 7:.Vt tire was opened on the shipping, and after a deliberate fire Ia: tmg about two and a half hours Ihn e Spanish transports. El Gloria, Jose Garcia and La Pureiama Concepcion, were burned and destroyed. The pontoon. whtch ship, bunted were was the harbor guard and store probably for ammunition, was and blown up. Three gunboats destroyed, another was driven ashore an,! sunk, and a fifth was driven ashore and is believed to have been disabled. The firing was maintained at a range which is believed to bo beyond the range of the shore artillery. It was continual until, after gradual dosing in, the shore batteries opened lire at a comparatively short range when the ships were recalled, the object of the expedition having been accomplished and the ideas of the commander-in-chief carried out. as 1 understood them that is, to destroy the enemy's shipping, but not to engage the field batteries or forts. No casualties occurred on board any of our vessels. Creat care was taken in directing the tire that as little damage as possible should be done to the city itself, and so far as could be observed little if any was Jone. All of our vessels were handled with sound discretion and excellent judgment by the several commanding officers, which was to have been expected from the men commanding them The Spanish loss ii.elieved to have been in the neighborhood of a hundred killed. The gunboats destroyed or driven ashore were the Delgado, Guantanamo, Ostralla. Cominola and Guardian. The committee appointed byAdmiral Sampson to examine the wreck of the Heina Mercedes reports that the vessel can probably be raised and added to the American navy. Her guns have been recovered by the Iowa. Friday, July SB. An attack upon Manila by the naval forces under Dewey and the American land forces under Gens. Greene and Anderson is expected at any moment. Gen. Miles sent a cable to Washington announcing the arrival at Mole St. Nicholas of UM first detachment of the expedition to Puerto Rico. Gen. Brooke will sail tomorrow with a large force on the St. Paul to join the force under Gen. Miles.

Tne Spanish residents of Santiago like President McKinley s proclamation ami seem satisfied with their condition as subject to the government of THE MONITOR MONADNOCK fhe United States.

The outlook from Sevilla was one that night well have appalled the stoniest heart. Behind you ran a narrow road, made well-nigh Impassable by rains, while to the front you looked out upon high foothills covered with a dense tropical growth which could only be traversed by bridle paths terminating within range of the enemy's guns. Nothing deterred, you responded eagerly to the order to close upon the foe. and. attacking at Caney and San Juan, drove him from work to work until he took refuge within his last and strongest Entrenchments, Immediately surrounding the city. Despite the fierce glare of a southern tun and rains that fell In torrents, you valiantly withstood attempts to drive you from the position your valor had won. Holding in your viselike grip the army opposed to you, after seventeen days of battle and siege you were rewarded by the surrender of neatly 24.000 prisoners, l::.000 being those In your immediate front, the others scattered in the various towns of eastern Cuba, freeing completely the eastern part of the island from Spanish troops. This was not done without great sacrifice. The dath of ZH gallant soldiers and the wounding of MM others show but tOO plainly the fierce eontest in Which you were engaged. The fewreported missing are undoubtedly among the dead, as no prisoners were lost.

EGYPT'S REAL KING.

LORD CROMER RULES OF PHARAOHS. LAND Uli Ilecent Tilt with the Spanish Admiral Camara Han Been ia Hiplolatlc Service of Kngland for Many Years. O R D CROMER, who lately gave orders that the Spanish ships should J get no coal at Port fcaid. is practical y the supreme ru'er of Egypt. H: nominal po.-ition is British plenipotentiary, but his will is law. In a matter of the present kind whatever Lord Cromer decides to do shall be doae. and he has the power of carrying into effect any order he may get from London. The tricky Spaniard first deminded lö.Oört tons of coal, but whn it became known that three of his ships had nearly that amount on board he asked for 5,000 tons. Then Lord Cromer divided to give him none. Lord Cromer is Irish by birth and is a man firm of purpose. Until he wis known a?. Sir Evelyn Baring. He is the son Henry Baring, M.

Lady Cromer is the daughter of Sir Rowland Stanley Errington. WATER CLOCKS. The water dock, otherwise the clepsydra, seems, unless the Egyptologists find something fresh in that land of incessant discoveries from the most far mists of time, to have been the first scientific effort at noting the hours. A good many people talk glibly about the clepsydra who neithe know its precise construction nor the nation who have the credit of constructing it. That belongs to the Assyrian, and as far back as at least over 2.000 years ago the clepsydra was used in Nineveh un der th sway of the second SardanapalUSJL It was a brass vessel of cylindrical shape, holding several gallons of watet, which could only emerge through onj tiny hole in '.he side. Thus the trickling of the fluid marked a certain amount of time, and the water was emptied half a dozen times per diem. In Nineveh there was one at the palac and one in each principal district These were all filled by signal from I watchman on a tower at the raomenl of sunrise, and each had an attendant whose business it was to refill th clepsydra as soon as it was emptied, the fact being announced by criers much iö in the last century the watchmen drowsily shouted the hours at :iight throughout the streets of London. Some- five centuries later an anonymous genius made a great improvement by inserting toothed wheels, which, revolving, turned two hands on a dial in clock fashion, thus showing the progress of time, which on filling to emptying averaged two hours and a half. In this shape the clepsydra, which was then chiefly procurable in Egypt, became introduced to various other nations, including Rome, where it flourished with various splendid embellishment until the end of the empire. Largest Ularler In Karope. The largest glacier in Europe is the Josledaisbroe in Norway. With Its numerous ramifications it covers an area of 350 square miles, just half as big again as the county of Middlesex. This enormous field of ice sends Its branches down the valleys in all directions, often coming into close proximity to the cornfields. One of the rso:-i accessible of its branches Is the Brigsdalbroa. From a distance its effect is extremely grand, surrounded as it is with dark, bare mountains, fringed with birch trees a perfect setting for the mighty mass of snow and Ice.
