Spain's Cabinet Council have Unanimously agreed to seek peace. The bombardment of Manzanillo, on last Monday, lasted four hours during that time thirty-five hundred shells were thrown. Three steamers of the Meiientlez line were complete ly destroyed and one gunboat was •turned. (Jen. Shatter has entiled the war department to hurry the immunes to him. as the number of Spaniards captured greatly outnumber bis forces. lie reports Unit In* has ton hoitsaud lilies and ten million rounds of ammunition captured front Up* enemy. U -is reported ’ thWi (iffy-five men ti company A, twenty-second regi ment, of Kansas, who are at Camp Alger, were poisoned, presumably caused by the vessels in which their food was cooked. It is sttitl that fifteen of them cannot recover. The most tncorrigable person in existence is the fellow who has never I mid a cent to'' his county' paper either for subscription or advertise ment, lmt if he fails to have if re gularly sent to him he abuses the editor and calls his paper a “sorry sheet. ” The relations between the Cubans mil Americans have been greatly 'strained on account’of the fact that (Am, Shatter would 1 not permit them to enter Santiago alter the surrender many of them wanted to go in for plunder but Shatter would not-.per mit it. It is possible thatstringent measures will have to be- takfen' with some of them. SIBBIE NEWS. War news is t Ik* topic of the day.
