Information Comes to the War Department, but No De tails as Yet. DONS REFUSE TO GIVE UP General Tora! Agreed to Sur render but Would Dic tate Terms*. Position of Americans Greatly Strengthened During the Truce. WASHINGTON. July 12.—"The bom« bardment of Santiago has begun." That was the verbal information ob tained during the afternoon at the war department. Almost immediately three bulletins were posted, the most important of which was from General Shafter. This dispatch announced that General Torral, who succeeded General Linares in command of the Spanish forces in Santiago when 'the latter was wounded, had declined to surrender unconditionally and that the bombardment of the town would be begun by the army and navy about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The fact that the bombardment was scheduled by Shafter to begin so late in the day created some comment but no explanation of it was offered. In answer to a question bearing upon that point General Corbin said: "I have not the slightest information as to the reasons General Shafter had for be ginning the bombardment at the hour he named but it was probable he was ready just at that time. Tou can speculate about that as well as I can." Shatter's Position Strengthened. Information received by the war de partment during the few days of truce indicates that General Shafter has ma terially strengthened his position. Dur ing the past week he has received rein forcements of both artillery and in fantry, and he now has nearly 50 seige guns and a number of 7-inch mortars, besides lighter artillery at MB disposal. These guns, taken in connection with the work that can be done by the fleet, will, it is believed, carry terror and de struction to Santiago. The belief is held by the best in* formed officials that General Torral, the Spanish commander, will surren der when he finds it impossible to evac uate the city. Upon what grounds this belief is based could not be ascer tained, but that information to that effect is in the hands of war officials there is no doubt. TORAL'S PROPOSITION. Would Sarrender Santiago If Allowed to March Away Under Colors. OFF JUBAOUA, July 9, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12.—The surrender of Santiago was formally offered by the Spanish commander, General Toral, but the conditions caused a prompt re fusal of the offer by General Shafter. The negotiations, however, resulted in the extension of the armistice until noon Sunday and white flags of truce still float over the opposing armies. General Toral's proposal contem plated the immediate Surrender of the city, but he insisted that his army be permitted to march away under arms and flying colors, and deolaring he would fight to the last ditch unless the conditions were accepted. General Shafter replied that nothing but unconditional surrender would be accepted by him* but he agreed to ca ble Washington, in tha meantime ex tending the armistice. ENEMY OPENED FIRE. Shatter Tells of Silencing tbe Gams of the Spaniards. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Shortly after midnight the war department gave oat the following dispatch from General Shafter: "Enemy opened fire a few minutes past 4 with light guns, which were #oon silenced by ours. Very little musketry firing, and the enemy kept entirely in their entrenchments. Three men slightly wounded. Will have enough forces by morning to complete ly block all the roads on the northwest. I am quite well. "General Garcia reports that the enemy evacuated a little town called Doscaninos, 80 miles from Santiago, and near the bay." OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.

Twelve mortars in one battery are Mounted and Beady for Use, and they are relied upon to do effect ive work in shelling tbe city. Three batteries of artillery are now in posi tion on El Paso ridge, 2,400 yards from the town, and the Oapron and Grimes batteries are 1,500 yards to the north of the road in the rear of General Law ton*s division. In firing the field guns will be compelled to shell the town over the heads of our men, but the ar- I"dynamite tillery officers say it can be done safely and without injury to our soldiers. The gun has been so placed that it will be able to enfilade several of the enemy's lines. Vatican Very Cautions. LONDON, July 12.—The Rome oorre^ spondent of The Daily Mail, recording the interchange of views between the Vatican and Madrid with a view of urging the queen regent in the direc tion of peace, says: "The action of the Vatican has been very cautious in order to avoid displeasing the United States." MOR E HELP FO SHAFTE Some Troops Just Arriving and Others on the Way. SIX TRANSPORTS AT JTJRAGUA Several Thousand Meo end a Large Quantity of Supplies Have Beached Their Destination. OFF, JURAGUA, July 9, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12.—Six transports, carrying 2,500 men. six batteries of ar tillery and a large quantity of ammu nition and supplies, arrived here at 7:30 a. m. The transports took the troops and equipments aboard at Tampa and were joined by their oon voy at Key West. They sailed last Tuesday morning. The men are in excellent spirits and their voyage was a pleasant one except for one rough night. SIXTH ILLINOIS SAILS. Left for Santiago on Board the Rita, Recently Gaptnred. CHARLESTON, S. O., July 12.—The steamship Rita, captured recently off Cuba by the Yale and purchased Sat urday by the United States govern ment for $125,000, sailed for Santiago during the day with 650 men of the Sixth Illinois regiment and their bag gage. One battalion of the regiment sailed with the expedition under Gen eral Garretson on the Columbia. It was found that the Rita could not carry the remaining 800 men, so Com panies D. and F. were left here. This divides the regiment badly. The em barkation at 5:b0 o'olock was an in spiring sight. LOSS OF THE ALFONSO XII. Story of Her Destruction Confirmed From Spanish Sources. HAVANA, July 12.— Tbe Spanish mail steamer Alfonso XII was pursued off Cienfuegos by three American cruisers. The vessel fled toward the Isle of Pines, where she.lost sight of her pur suers. When eight miles from Ha vana she was intercepted by three American warships and was run ashore at the entrance to Mariel with the object of saving her cargo. After grounding the steamer was fired upon by the American ships, a number of projectiles from their guns falling aboard of her. The ship was subse quently destroyed by fire caused by explosive bombs from the American vessels. On* Dead, Fifteen Injured. WASHINGTON, July 12.—An electric oar oh the Congress Heights road filled with passengers crashed into a horse oar on the Anacosta line. An unknown man was killed and between 12 and 15 injured, several seriously. Both oars were demolished, and the horses of the Anacosta car killed. NOTES OF THE WAR. Camera's fleet sailed from Port Said for Cartagena, Spain. The British steamer Monmouth, now at Bremen, has been purchased by the United States. Advices received by Commander Mc Oalla of the Marblehead from the city of Gnantanamo show that the deaths from starvation average 15 daily. -, ?M Thousands of refugees from Santi* ago have flocked to the American lines, and the problem of feeding them is a serious one for General Shafter. General Shafter reports that the loss among our forces July. 1 and 2 was: Killed, 22 officers, 208 enlisted men wounded, 81 officers, 1,203 enlisted men missing, 89 enlisted men.

Brought North From Santiago on the Cruisers St. Louis and Harvard. OFFICERS TO BE PAROLED Will Be Sent to Annapolis and Allowed the Freedom.of the Grounds. Both the Admiral and Cap tain Eulate Are on the Sick List. PORTSMOUTH. N. H., July 12.—The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 746 Spanish soldiers, inoluding 54 officers, arrived in Portsmouth harbor at 8:30 a. m. and a few minutes later dropped anchor just above Fishing island. The big liner left Gnantanamo at 6 o'olook Tuesday afternoon, July 5, and did not make a stop until she dropped anchor in Portsmouth harbor. Admiral Cer vera is confined to his cabin, having been quite ill for the past three days. Captain Eulate, who was commander of the Vizcaya and is among the pris oners, is also quite ill, having been wounded in the head during the bat tle of Santi ago. Officers on Parole. All of the Spanish commissioned of ficers have been on parole and had the freedom of the ship, with one excep tion. This was the governor of San tiago de Cuba, who was trying to escape from the city on Admiral Cer vera's flagship when she was destroyed on that memorable morning of July 8. He refused to sign the parole papers and was consequently confined in one of the cabins under guard. The re mainder of the prisoners were confined between decks and closely guarded. Admiral Cervera's stay here will be short, as the St. Louis will coal as soon as the Spanish* sailors are landed and will then leave for Annapolis with the officers. Admiral Cervera Talks. Admiral Cervera came on deok in tbe afternoon, and consented to talk. "You ask me," said he, "how I like America, and I answer that I have al ways liked, and, I may say, loved, your people, but this wffr has been a duty with me and the men under me. I knew that the American fleet dearly outclassed us, but it was a question of fighting either inside or outside the harbor. "There has been much feeling in Spain, and I want all Spain to know the truth, that each ship of my squad ron fought to the last, and when we could do no more we surrendered. "Captain Goodrich has treated us all as well as anybody could possibly be treated." Harvard Also Arrives. PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 12.—The cruiser Harvard has arrived off Fort Constitution with 400 Spanish prison ers from Santiago. The prisoners will be brought up to the city in the morn* ing. MAKE THEM MORE CAREFUL. Miles Issues an Order as to Responsibility of Recruiting- Oflloers. WASHINGTON, July 12. General lliles has issued an order notifying re cruiting officers they will be held to a strict accountability for.the enlistment of men who may be unfitted for the military service. The order is made necessary because of the great number of enlistments of persons not qualified to serve, mainly because of their being under the legal age of 18 years. If a rebruit after enlistment is rejeoted or discharged as a minor, and it appears that the enlistment was carelessly made, the expense inourred may be oharged against the pay of the officer responsible. MAY SAVE THREE SHIPS. Sampson Reports on the Condition of the Spanish Vessels. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Admiral Sampson has cabled the navy depart ment that in his opinion three of the {Spanish vessels may be saved. The Colon is certainly in good condition, he 'reports, and there are reasonable hopes of saving the Maria Teresa and Viz caya. This is tbe only news received from Sampson in a day or more, the cables apparently being interrupted or in bad working order. .- The Xew Japanese' Cruiser. PHILADELPHIA, July 12.—The Japan ese protected cruiser Kasagi sailed from Cramp's ship yard at daylight for her official trial trip, which-will be made off the New Hampshire coast, probably on Tuesday.

Carelessness andIndifference to Daily Habits and Duties are Undermining the Health of Many Women—How this may be Overcome. From the Graphic, Jtuthville, 2nd. These diseases occur because the blood has become impure, for no woman is seriously sick when the blood is pure. No one is bet ter able to speakof this fact than Miss Hazel Snider, a charming young woman of Arling ton, Ind. To-day she has rosy cheeks, a sparkle in her eyes, which, with her plump form, all prove that she is in good health. A yearago Miss Snider did not look this way. She was very thin, her cheeks were pale, her eyes sunken and dull. Shewas troubled with nervousness and general debility. "I had been siek some,during my life," she says, «but not any more than the average girl, and was considered strongand healthy. "I had prepared to teach school, but be-ing came so run down that I did not feel like teaching, and gave up my school before the term opened. I disliked to do this, but mythird mother and physician urged that this was the proper thing to do, especially if I wanted to avert a spell of sickness. I began to grow pale, weak, lost several pounds offlesh,was stupid, and had no ambition. "My appetite began failing. New and dainty dishes were prepared for me, but these did not tempt me. Many times I washungry, and would try to eat because I knew I was almost starving, butthe food refusedtoremain en my stomach.

W My blood was in a bad condition, having become thin and watery. After several: months' treatment from the family physician^..t wesaw he could not do me any goon. "We then tried some proprietarymedicines.^v, I think I tried a dozen different kinds, recom-^. mended for such troubles, but none did me any good. I was discouraged and did not know what to do. "One day I read an item in a paper of the wonderful curative qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Shortly after that a neighbor came in and told me about her experience with these pills and how they euredher. I finally tried the medicine, and when nearly through with the second box noticed a change for the better in my condition, and after I had taken eight boxes I was cured, and have had ho occasion to take any kind of medicine since. I feelthat I oweconsiderable to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, probably my life, and I advise any one suffer with troubles similar to mine, to take these pills." Miss HAZEL SNIDER. Subscribed and sworn to before me this day of January, 1898. Sum* WIIXIAMS, Notary Public. Forall forms ofweakness, a specific is round in these pills. The blood is vitalized and be comes pregnant with the elements of life. The nervous system is reorganized, all irregu larities are corrected, strength returns anddie ease disappears.
