| HlflGO BATTLE .Gen.Miles I off For Cdba. Hl * L SAILED TODAY WITH Ig """" 1 Thousand and Seven Hun s dred Men Wishing loll ’ Jul y 9—At 12 I’clock it was announced in Sec retary Alger’s office that Spain Ld refused to surrender San-J Jiaao and that the bombardment L.d probably begun. One of Secretary nlger s offi Lal sides, as .the clock struck the noon hour, pulled out his Latch and announced that ac cording to Gen. Shafter’s last Lispatch he would fire the first Igiinjproniptly at noon. I Secretary Alger, when a«ked Lt 1:30 o’clock, however, if the [fighting had been resumed at [Santiago, replied: “1 do not think so.” At 1:50 o’clock a dispatch fro n the front was received. Gen. Corbin, on receipt ol W ord from Santiago, hurried over to the white house and on his return to the department stated that he had nothing to give out at present. It is believed at the state de partment that the dispatch from Santiago relates to a surrender, as it would be considered public property if it related to a bom bardment of Santiago and would be immediately given out. While making it clearly un derstood that no pace movemen whatever has been inaugurated, the officials continue to believe that some movement may as sume definite form at any mo ment. Such a movement would b) of such supreme importanc that the officials deprecate the reports that it actually has oc curred. HOBSON COMPELLED TO WAIT Lieut. Hobson will have t< wot now until the next con gress for promotion and for tin j th.rnks of his countrymen, ow ing to the failure of the house ti pa<s the senate resolutions. The accepted theory seems to hav< been th.it the president . Could make promotions as he would recess appointments. Senator Hale, chairman of th*» naval committee, told me this m irning that it would be possible for the president to pro mote an officer to a Irgher rank in the same grade, but he could not transfer Mr. Hobson from the construction corps to the line without the consent of congress, and this consent had been temporarily held up owing to tue failure of the house t< net on the senate resolutions.

Suddath, a prominent Hall county farmer, was foun 1 dead yesterday afternoon under Lula bridge. It was at first believed that Mr. Suddath had been kill-, od, and a posse was organized in Gainesville, upon receipt of the news of the alleged killing, to hunt down the assassin. Today it developed, however that there had been no crime, that his death had been due to an accident caused by his own act. Mr. Suddath was sin posed to ba worth about $30,000, and was known to usually carrj about on his person considerable sums of money. This fact gave rise to the belief that he had been murdered for the purpose of robbery. He had been out fishing, and was returning home when the accident occurred.
