Ki Caney, Santiago Province, July
5.—Via Kingston, July 8.—The ex
odnt from Santiago wax an impres
hire, picturesque and yet piteous
sight. Tena of thousands sought
refuge behind the American lines in
response to this notice, posted alt
over Santiago:
“Having received no further word
from the Americans, and being uni
ious to save the lives of all women
and children, all non-combatants
who cannot carry arms must, between
6 and 0 o’clock tomorrow morning,
leave for Caney by any of the oity
gates. No passports are necessary.
All pilgrims must go on foot. Car
riages are-forbidden. Cripples and
sick will have litters provided.”
And so they came—all sorts and
conditions of humanity. There was
rabble, but many rags in juxtaposi
tion with silks and laces. A major
ity were well dressed. All showed u
sublime confidence in the Americans.
The fact is demonstrated that the
Spanish women have faith in the
ohivalry of the American soldiers.
About 500 on litters were in the van.
One old woman carried a parrot in
her lap. The poorer people wore
large crucifixes and some wore saying
their beads. All thechildren walked
together. Each hud flaring clironm
pictnies of Christ or the Virgin tied
about their necks. Many women
wore gowns and bonnets of the latest
Parish fashion—evidently women of
the highest society—and they were
decked us if for an Kaster parade on
Fifth avenue. The rustling silks,
delicate laces, flimsy muslins and
bright flowers, dainty high heeled
boots were strange sights on a battle
field that a few hours before had
recked with smoke and carnage.
These women, who probably had
never walked more than a few yards
before, had to make their wav
through prickly jungle and over
rough trails.
All these dainty society women
and girls have volunteered for nurses.
Many will be accepted.
Tile refugees, upon their arrival,
hurried to the Catholic church in
the centre of the square. They found
it occupied by the American surgeons.
Tlie porch was made an operating
room and the pews and floors inside
formed the resting places of hun
dreds of tho wounded, many of
whom were Spanish. The refugees
worked hard to put up a temporary
shelter. Money hud no value. The
petted darlings of rich men hud the
same shelter—palm leaves—os the
outcasts of the streets of Santiago.

Port Said, July 11.—Tho last of
tbe Spanish ships belonging to Ad
miral Camara’s fleet has sailed for
Spain.
The Spanish admiral was allowed
to trans-ship BOO tons of coal from
the San Augustine last night in the
harbor on furnishing a written guar
antee that tbe Peluyo needed it and
that the entire squadron is returning
to Spain direct
Messina, Sicily, July 11.—The
Spanish torpedo boats sailed for
home this morning.
A Tolkien Woman.
There are women who are comely,
there are women who are homely,
though be careful how the latter
thing you say. There are women
who are wealthy, there arc women
who are healthy, there are women
who will always have their way.
There are women who are truthful,
there are women who are youthful—
was there ever any woman who was
old? There are women who are
sainted, there are women who are
painted, there are women who are
worth their weight in gold. There
are women who are tender, there are
women who are sleuder, there are
women who are large and fat and red.
There are women who are married,
there are women who liaye tarried,
there are women who are talkless
but they are dead.

Washington, July 7.—Tho war do-

Sunday morning, the offer of Geu.
Linares to surrender the city without
damage, together with the shipping
in the harbor,if he und his men were
allowed to march out with side arms
and have twenty miles unmolested
start, was refused. It is said Gen.
Shafter wished touccept these terms,
but Washington refused.
Tlie Spaniards were then notified
thut the truce was at an end, at four
o’clock in the afternoon, and shortly
afterwards the battle was renewed by
a shot from one of the Spanish bat
teries. The artillery opened lire all
along tho front of the American line,
nml Schley's ships began firing over
the range of hill hiding the city from
them. The distance was five miles,
but the guns of the fleet could not
be given an elevation sufficient to
reach the city over the hills.

four wounded Sunday. A general
