2 ANOTHER VICTORY. BBANISH ARMY AT HOLGUIN ABOUT READY TO YIELD. ~ Mirny Spanlili 8oldl*r 111. Oar Ship* In Qaantanaitio Harbor. The Term* of Sur ; render Violated by Spaniards Who Sunk a Spanish Gunboat. Guantanamo Bay, Santiago de Cuba. Jvfly 26.—1t Is difficult to see how the large body of Spanish troops at Hol gtlln can fail to surrender very soon, although reinforced by the Spanish folees from Gibara. Holguin is one of the commanding points in eastern - Ctfba, and the surrender of Its garrison will be an important event of the war. News from there is expected soon, and uiton it will depend some of the plans oLour commanders. The Vixen and Suwanee returned to Santiago yesterday morning, convoy ing the prize ships brought here for dljinfectlon. The main body of the flept is here, coaling and cleaning, as wBll as the facilities of the bay will permit. The movements of the other ships un der Rear Admiral Sampson's com mand, except those engaged In the Porto Rico expedi.ion, depend upon the decision of the authorities at Wash ington, and the Impression is growing Aiflong the naval officers of high rank in. these waters that it is not advisable ta send a fleet to Spain without pre viously enabling the ships to undergo thorough preparation, including going into dry dock in several cases. The list of vessels in Guantanamo btCy up to yesterday morning included the flagship New York, the Brooklyn, lowa, Indiana. Oregon, Marb'.ehead. Detroit, Newark, Yankton. Hornet, Ericsson, Rogers. Wampatuck, Samo sat, Vesuvius, Celtic, Vulcan, Alvara da, five colliers and one transport. A Boston fruit steamer arrived here . yesterday morning loaded with fruit, in: consequence of a request upon the pgrt of Rear Admiral Sampson, but the steamer refused to sell anything, and ta each ship was given a supply of frklt, which was much appreciated. No news has been received here from Fifcto Rico. Colonel Ewers, who was sent by Gen eral Shatter to receive the surrender ot the 6,000 Spanisli troops at Ouanta nrftno, arrived here on Sunday night, with two of General Toral's officers, and proceeded to Catmanera and Gu antanamo yesterday. The colonel ex pected to return last night. It is said that 1,700 of the Spanish troops of the Guantanamo district are on the sick Hat. After they have surrendered the work of lending the sick, feeding the haalthy and maintaining order among tfie prisoners will probably devolve up dbi the navy. The Nipe bay engagement was quite hat, but there were no casualties on the American side. The Spanish gunboat JVfrge Juan was riddled by our shells. It? is believed that about 200 men de eded from her after opening the Kmgston valves. A fleet bulletin Just Issued In regard too the Investigation of the effect of the navy's shells at the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba says: "Twelve houses were completely wrecked In side and one house was burned. Six teen eight-inch shells struck within three blocks on the Calle de Marina. These excavated the ground to a depth of about four feet and to a length of about ten feet. The street was mac adamized. It is Judged from the fact that many of them struck near the wa ter's edge that a number of the shells most have gone into the bay. Army officers have stated that thirty or forty went beyond the northern edge of the bay into the Spanish lines. "A dozen or more of the shells had not exploded. In four of them the base bad been simply blown out. In one rtise, a four-Inch shell which was prob ably a stray shell fired during the de monstration at Aguadores on July 1, had gone through a tree and had ex ploded in the ground beyond. "When the severe effect of the eight- Inch shells is considered, it is a matter for congratulation that it was not nec essary to continue the bombardment longer and Are thirteen-inch shells, as the squadron had prepared to do. The effect of these latter would undoubted ly have been of a most disastrous char acter to the town. "The board has completed Its Investi gation and will make a detailed re port later." The Span'ards last night sunk the Spanish gunboat Randoval, which has been lying near Catmanera. This is looked upon as being a gross breach of the terms of the surrender, which the Spaniards then had knowledge of, es pecially considering the fact that food has been sent by the United States navy Into Catmanera. First Sergeant of Marines Klnnie of ' the New York, went North yesterday evening on the Texas, to get his com mission as second lieutenant of ma rines. This Is almost the only case of such promotion on record In this branch of the service. drdrri to Gen. Lee.

CHESS TOURNAMENT CLO6ED It Result* In a Tie Between Plllsburj and Tarraiicli. Vienna, -July 26.—With yesterday's pliy In the thirty-eighth and final round of the International chess tour nament ended the most remarkable and exciting contest that has ever occur red in the anhals of the royal game, and ended In such a way aa to give the most general satisfaction to all who have followed the course of the long and stubborn struggle. Chief honors for the time being belong equally to Plllsbury, America's young champion, and Dr. Tarrasch, the first player ot Germany, who finished up their record breaking race with scores once more on a level. The friends of both freely concede the credit as much to one as Horry I*. Plllsbury. to the other, for each has made grand and untiring efforts and put up a re markably game fight. It remains, how ever, for them to play a test match of four games to determine the individual supremacy between them, as well as the possession of the first prize of $l,- 600. The first game of this contest will be started to-morrow morning and it Is needless to say that the opening of hostilities Is eagerly looked forward to. The games must of necessity contain great chess, but of the outcome of the duel no one cares to predict! DISPOSITION OF SHAFTER'S ARNY To Be Brought to Montank Point to Recuperate. Washington, July 27,—The troops at Santiago under General Shatter will be brought home In transports and en camped at Montauk Point, N. Y. The instructions to General Shatter caution him to await the extermination of the yellow fever, and special stress is placed on the necessity of exorcising the greatest care that the disease be kept out of the transports which visit Santiago. The troops held in reserve at Montank Point will undoubtedly be of the large army destined for Havana province in the autumn. The military officials expect that the severest cam paign of the land forces will be that before Havana, where the enemy is especially powerful, and the fortifica tions substantial. It la still a question whether the operations against the Spanish in Havana shall be by aggres sive attack or siege. A great deal de pends upon the blockade now in foroe. If this is maintained strictly by the navy, the work of the army will be easier than if—as Is charged in some quarters—the Spaniards are able to evade the vigilance of the American ships. A PRISON INQUIRY. Terrible Condition* Revealed In Santiago Prison*. Santiago de Cuba, via Haytl, July 26. —General Shatter recently appointed n prison commission to inspect the Span ish prisons. They were found to be in the most terrible condition.* Prisoners were discovered In some of them who have been confined for years without trial for crimes the maximum punish ment for which under Spanish law would be two months. The commission will sit dally until theße cases can be reviewed. Several of the Spanish Justices have sent in their resignations to General Shafter, saying that they cannot take the oath of allegiance. The high courts Ot Justice will he closed until other ap pointments can be made. Order* for Grant'* Troop*.

General Wade says that probably ten days or more will he consumed In moving the Second and Third divisions of the First corps. Ml** chley Requented to Lp.va, London, July 27,—The papers here continue to confuse Miss Jessie Schley, daughter of Charles Schley of Milwau kee, and a cousin of Commodore Schley with Miss Shafter. Miss Schley recent ly arrived In Madrid on a peace mis sion, without the approval of her father, but neither the queen regent nor any responsible person would re ceive her. It was added that she will probably be requested to depart as ear ly as possible. A dispatch from Ma drid this morning says "Miss Shafter" has been requested to leave Spain forthwith. Cumberland Nail and Iron Company Fall* Bridgeton, July 27,—The Cumberland Nail and Iron Company went Into the hands of a receiver yesterday. The court appointed former Mayor John Smalley.

Science and Industry- The life of a tradesman is about two-thirds that ot a farmer. A novel use has been found for the cinematograph, which has recently been employed at the Imperial insti tute for the purpose of illustrating farming operations in Canada. Berlin pays a salary to a profession al bird-catcher, who keeps scientific institutions supplied with birds, nests and eggs. He is the only man in the empire permitted to do so.

Arthur Pearson company of London, which publishes 11 week ly periodicals and one monthly, is said to be an ideal establishment in its treatment of employes, who are given all Saturday for a holiday, and an annual festivity. A Swiss firm has bought a ribbon saw worked by electricity which is able to cut legs over a yard thick. The electric motor is of six-horse power, and the saw runs at a speed of moie 100 feet per second. The saw itself can travel along a track and cut the logs from end to end as it goes. Importaut experiments with the use of the electric light for coast de fense purposes were recently carried out at Portsmouth. It was found that a beam of light, sufficient to de tect the presence of a torpedo craft, could be projected from the forts for several miles over the water, thus covering' Spithead, the Solent and Southampton. The director of the agricultural school at Neisse, Germany, reports that the best way of preserving eggs is to keep them in soluable glass, and the next best way is to coat them with vaseline and keep them in lime water. He condemns unreservedly the prac tice to which many people pin their faith—of keeping the eggs in brine. They do not decay but become un palatable from being saturated with salt.

Put a tiny lump of sulphur in a tin plate, pour on a little alcohol and set it on fire. Hold the finger tips above the flame and the discoloration will disappear.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ' Signature of The Spanish consul at St. Thomas emitted a stentorian shriek because some American war songs republished in a Danish newspaper insulted, as he alleged, the majesty of the Spanish queen. ,He succeeded in getting the offender fined on a technicality. The more insulting war songs sung by the mouths of our great guns have not, however, been effectively resented so far. While the other nations have been scrambling for slices of China with great success the Union Jack is not behind in flying over important accre tions of Celestial soil. In addition to Wei-Hai-Wei, which is likely to be come an oriental Gibraltar, England has also secured the fastnesses of Kai long, just opposite Hongkong, with 200 miles front of the mainland. This will put the whole traffic of southern China under British control. When you are suffering irom Ca tarrh or Cold in the head you want relief right away. Only 10 cents is required to test it.
