SPANIARDS HAVE IO AVENUE OF ESCAPE LEFT The Surrender of Santiago Hourly Expected—An Official Report from Oeneral Shafter- J? ■ Washington, July 12 —The expect, alien wae general today that Santiago would he oura very coon. The main source of apprehension was that the Spaniards may have suc needed in a considerable degree >n evacuating the town before the Amer, ican lines of investment were com pleted, so that when the American troops enters 1 it would be found a '• mere empty busk of perhaps nothing more than a desperate roar guard of Spaniards left to protect and conceal the retreat of the main body of troops. Genoral Miles, who arrived at Sibo ney on the Yale yesterday, made the following report to Secretary Alger today: "Arrived at noon Had consultation with Admiral Sampson and with Gen eral Shafter by telephone. Troops brought from Tampa, Charleston and Now York arrived and leaving for the front. Line of investment being ex* tended. (Signed.) Miles.’* General Miles has not taken and will not take charge of the operations now being conducted against Santiago. Whatever credit is to bo derived from the capture of that town if it results from the prosecution of the present plan of operation by General Shafter will rebound to that officer’s credit. But with bis appearance comes very' substantial assistance for General Shafter. With him on the Yale were more than 1,000 men and considerable artillery, whilo the Columbia, which formed part of the expedition, is ex» pooled to report her arrival at any moment with the remainder of the troops. The following dispatch from General Shatter was received here this morn* lag: Plata Del Eon, via Hayti, July IS.—Headquarters Fifth Army Corps. —Adjutant General, Washington i II has been quiet; but little fighting. A flag of trace up since 2 o’clock, con sidering proposition for surrendering, now that I have town surrounded on the north; lines were completed at 5 p. m. by General Ludlow right down to the bay} The line is rather thin, but will have it strengthened in the morning by Geo. Henry, who has just arrived at beadquarters. Only three or four cas* unities. Io one killed so far as I can learn. Expect to baye two of the new batteries in position. Great deal of suffering among the people who have gone out of Santiago. Am doing my best to relievs it, but not entirely sue* easeful. Shafter Boatithe Klondike. Mr. A. 0.

Already Trying to Crawfish- The News has been convinced from the outset that the time would soon come when the newspapers which have been talking about the beroio Cubans and comparing Gomez with Washington would ieel ashamed of themselves. Already evidences of re* morse are observed in a great many exchanges which a low months ago were lauding the Cubans to the skies. Here is a case in point from a certain Georgia exchange, which says: "Our readers wi'l bear witness that we have exhibited np disposition at any time to glorify the Cuban cause; nor have wo been able to justify the sentimental crusade started in thia country a year or so ago in the inter est of Cuban independence. We have all along regarded the pubans as a shiftless, treacherous, ignorant lot, and as being utterly incapable of self government. Recent events , have coni firmed us more strongly in this belief and the American public io beginning to think and talk the same way.” And yet we have seen in that very paper yard after yard of senseless rot about the down trodden Cubans. And there are very few newspapers in the country that have not wasted more or less sympathy on these cattle. Now, however, they are beginning to learn tbeir real character, and are ashamed of tbeir former expressions. And so they should be. The North’s attitude toward the negro has never been half so disgusting as the attitude of this “reunited country” toward the worthless half-breeds to the south of us. And the more we try to do for them the more will we become con vinced of this fact. The truth is, now that we have been tricked into going to war for these people, these is only one thing to do with Cuba—drive ogt the Spaniards, kill off the Cubans and take possession of tbs island.—Macon News.

HOBBON S RETURN Richard Harding Davis’ DMoriptiM of the Alabamian’s Reoeption- Hobsuu’s coming was one dramatic picture of the war. The son was sel ling behind the trail, and as ho eamo up over the creel he was outlined agiinet it. | Under • triumphal arch of palms the soldie is saw a young man in the uniform of the navy, his face- white, With the prison pallor, as bis white duck, abd strangely in contrast with the fierce tan of their own, and with serious eyes, who looked down al them] steadily For a moment be s emed to sit mo-1 t ion less and then tbe waiting band struck up "Tbe Star Spangled. Ban ner.” A strange thing it was that no one cheered or shouted nor gave, an order, but every one rose to bis feet Slowly, took off his bat slowly, and stood so, looking up al him in absolute silence. It wae one of tbe moat impressive things I ever saw. No noise nor blare nor shouted acclaim could have touched the meaning or the depths of feeling there was in that silence. Then a red-headed, red faced trooper leaped down into the road and shout ed, “Three ebeers for Hobson t* The men roared and cheered. The Rough Riders gave a cowboy yell and officers with sons in West Point leaped up and down', and a foreign attache threw up bis helmet into the air. Hobson rods down between tbe lines, raising bis cap and smiling doubtfully. Probably no ono ever re ceived reward so swiftly or from as worthy hands as those of the men who first taught him what bo was to bij countrymen. They were no seekers after celebri ties. That will come later. They were mao, instead, who knew a brave man, because they were brave. They had won tbe very ground be was on from tbe enemy. It bad cost them the loss of 1,800 comrades. They camo running from the trenches, from tbe lake where they had been washing clothes. They charged up tbe hills of Ban Juan a second limo and surrounded them in a shouting, happy mob. Behind them rode two Spanish officers who had been taken beyond the lines only to find no one to ex change for them. They sat on their horses, blindfolded with “first aid to the wounded” bandages, and listened to the tribute tbe Americans paid tbeir young countryman. There is always something humor ous about the “jackies,” and after tbe serious earnest face of Hobson it was a comic relief to see six obstinate mules dragging an ambulance loaded with seven clean, smart blue jackets, grinning, shouting, rolling over each other in glee. Every ono who bad started to run after Hobson stopped to cheer them, but they were turned aside from cheers by the enlisted men shouting: “Bay, but you sea fellers did not do a thing to them tbe other nightl” “Say, we heard you; see?” yelled the jackies. “Your shells fell right into our boepßal yard.” ...» . , “Say, but we wished we was with you; see?” “They come in dead in carts.” “You could not see tbe street for them.” It wm no time for choosing similes. Mon were standing on the rising banks and the hills, waving hats and shout ing. Officers were shouting Hobson’s name. Photographers were leaping about, perpetuating a moment. Il was the same story all the way to flibouey. Every little group of sol diers they came across stood at atten tion at the unusual sight of a navy uniform When they recognised the men they waved their bate and cheer ed. Hobson wae tbe first officer I have •een saluted in six days. They have been too busy to salute. Before be came the Seventy-first New York was mending a road, but tbe men gave a yell when they saw him and rushed waist high ' through the river and stopped tbe cavalcade while they mobbed him, shook both his hands at once him three cheers. Aa he rode along they told him aome that bad happened whilo be bad been in jail and bow in a day be had be come a national hero.

The Bishops Bpsak. The bishops of the Methodiat church, south, have published a card in which they aay their church will not accept tbe |2BB 000 allowed it by congress if the senate adopts a resolution to tbe effect that it was induced to allow the claim by misleading statements made by representatives of tbe church. It is not probable that tbe senate will adopt any such resolution. Tbe report of the committee which invest igated the charge that the allowance of tbe claim had been obtained by mis leading atatementa, states that no ac* Atm the aenate has taken In the least on tbe Methodist church, south. There is no doubt, however, that Mr. Btahlman did not let tbe senators who asked him about the claim know all the facts, and tbe agents of the book concern were far leas frank than the senators think they ought to have been. Still, if Mr. Btahlman had been perfectly open with inquiring senators and tbe book agents bad told the whole truth the claim wouldn’t have been allowed, notwithstanding the fact that it wae a perfectly just one, and should have been paid a quarter of a century ago. While it is true that tbe book agents cannot be defended for letting senators believe that no attorney’s fee x as to be piid out of the claim, the senators themselves are chiefly to blame in tbe whole matter, because they held up a juat claim for twenty-five years and made it necessary in order to get it al lowed to pay an attorney 35 per cent ol it.—Savannah News.
