HHAFTER'B PLANS IN TRYING TO CUT OFF SPANISH CHANCES OP RETREAT AND ULG1N Tilt! ATTACK WITH 1.13111' AHTILI.KRY - ADMIRAL SAMPSON HAS NOT YET MADE A REPORT. Washington, July 11. General Shatt er's report from SIboney, sent just hu fore midnight last night, caused of ficials of the war department to wult all day today with the expectation of hearing Ihnt the bombardment of San tiago had begun. No word to that ef fect came, however, up to the time the department closed, and though there Is little reason to doubt that the gen eral carried out the programme, of which he had notified the department, It was regarded as possible that he had consented to a further extension under the Hag of truce In view of cer tain signs of weakening on the part of tho Spanish commander. It Is sup posed here that General Miles, with additional reinforcements on the Yale, tt'411 jitffivp" 'at SIboney tonight or to "ihflrl'oftlnorriliig, niiu" If surrender has not been secured by that time It Is be lieved that the assault upon the town proper will be prosecuted at once with the greatest energy nnd determination. The tests made recently of the naval ordnance gave very unsatisfactory re sults, when It was attempted to pro ject shells over the high hills from the open sea Into Santiago Oily. Possibly better results may be attained tomor row if the attack Is resumed then, but there Is more likelihood that the main reliance will he 'upon such of the light er drought vessels of Admiral Samp son's fleet as-may succeed In getting closer to the shore and In a better position than the heavy battleships. The officials here are satisfied that what appears to be dejny on the part of General Shafter was really cnused by his efforts to carry nut strictly the president's Injunction to prevent the Spanish army from escaping from San tiago. ' CUTTING OFF RETREAT. lie might have attacked the town several days ago with the result that If the Spaniards were overcome they would have retreated without obstruc tion to the northwest beyond the reach of our soldiers to follow. His dispatch written late last night Indicates clearly that he has been trying to complete his line of Investment so as to pre vent such an escape and us he appears to feel satisfied that he has accom plished this, the final assault, will not be delayed much longer. Gcr.etnl Shafter Is disposed to save every life possible In the war: prob ably having In mind the particularly large proportion" of killed, wounded U Mil mluttflirr nnmii!ii'ni1 . !..-. . .l strength of his nrn.v in n. i,.i r ' fancy which the official figures pro. inulgaterl today show was exceptional In modern warfare. It Is to save our troops that he desires to mako a fre.s w-p of artillery before the assault proper begins and nlo to secure the co-operation of the navy In the attack. FATALITIES. The little artillery duel of yesterday appears to have been more serious In Its results than was at first suspected by General Shafter himself, for during the afternoon he was obliged to report at, one result the death of Captain Charles W. Revwell. Second Infant! y. one of the most gallant and popular nfTlcirs of the regular establishment. Captain Reywell was born In Nev York and appointed to tin military ac ademy In 170. He became a second lieutenant In 1S7I, a first Ileutenunt In 1SS1 and wns placed In command of the ci'mpany which ho led to his death, in 189(1 His death caimed deep grief among the o'iicpis of thr department who respected him for his soldierly qualities as manifested In his hard nor lce In the west. The cable communication between Washington and General Shafter s headquarters has now been gotten lnl po:!!a:tto:eiaT,!:r,ie:t,hr,! hr possible to receive at the department ;i It has been despatched by Geneial Shafter. Colonel Allen, who Is in charge ut General Shatter's end of the line, reported to the department that he is now engaged In laying a cable from Oitantnnanio to liaya del Kstt, whlc'i will still further reduce the lime re quired for the exchange of commun' catlons. NO IUCPOUT 'FROM SAMPSON. 'Jin; appearance at the navy depart ment this morning at an early hour of Knslgn Palmer, one of the officers of the St. Louis, which aulved at Ports mouth yesterday, led the olhcials to be lieve that he lint" brought with him the reports of tho Aineilcuu naval cm lnanders upon the battle which icsult nl In the destruction of Cervera's squadron. 11 turned out, however, that the St. Louis had started from SIboney befiiie the ofllclnl reports on that en gagement had been prepared. VJx-Secretary Herbert had quite a conference with Secretary Long this, afternoon upon the subject of fire proof wood for naval construction. He brought with him a formidable array of facts gathered from the newspaper reports of tho naval, battle to show that fire was the element that worked the greatest destruction among the vessels of the Spanish squadron and that wherever. American vessels had been hit, even In the case of tho tiny torpedo boat, they had escaped such flrcH because all of their woodwork ws fireproof. So Impressed was Sec e.tary Long witli the statement that aiha8 concluded to reconvene a ItVclal board which wuh appointed some tlmo ngo to deal with this mat ter und which had recommended that tile Uao ot the prepared wood be cur tailed In uino measure In American warship building. SPANISH SP1T15. -"Naval officials say thut a serious Ir regularity occurred at the time the ships of Admiral Cervera's fleet huuled down their colors and surrendered. In quiries have brought out the fact that the breech blocks of tho guns were thrown ovei board, thus disabling tho gun,s and making them practically worthless and tho vulves by which the ship's were flooded opened after the surrender when, under the rules of warfare, the enmy ceused fighting and had nskeit for quarter. It Is said that 'further dHtruct!on to the ships ut suh a time wan both wanton and dls rl;1ll",,Jil1eu;in',thiit If the persons re (((jiisJhlH (or t if located, they are Ill-fly to bo held accountable. The department has not yet received thK I'ffMii-t of th court of Inquiry showing in lUtall the Injuries to these ships and tlte possibilities of salvage. The press report ut the board's Unci lug", saying that only the .Maria Theresa could bo saved, excited sonic surprise, us It wns confidently believed that the' Colon could also, be saved In whole or In port. The ofllclnls aro still hopeful that the full report of the board will show that there Is a chance of saving tho Colon, . ROOSEVELT'S FORETHOUGHT. Demanded Thnt Ammunition Ho Sent to Dewey lleforc Ilia Wnr. Washington. July 11. Theodore Roosevelt's foresight and determination have helped this war wonderfully. When Dewey was almost out of am munition and It was not expected by anybody at the navy department that tho Asia tie squadron would need any. lloosevolt Insisted that a large supply should be sent out to Dowey. To get fid of him nnd accept the safe proposi tion, a supply of ammunition was for warded long before war was declared. When tho Assistant. Secretary went to Port Monroo to see the fleet there In dulge In practice he asked for u sham battle. Ammunition run short, and Admiral Slcurd Informed the assistant secretary that the allowance for target ptnctlce had been about used. .Mr, Roosevelt ut once sat down and ad dressed a letter to Admiral Slcard, di recting him to tig( ammunition with, out restriction. The naval affairs com mittee and the appropriations commit tee later on ashed where all the am munition provided had gone. "Fired It away," was the answer. ONLY ONE SHIP CAN BE SAVED Hoard at Survey Considers llio Colon, Vltcnyn nnd -Oqnctido Hopeless Wreclis-OVIiRt Sltidv of tho Ruins Proves. (Copyright, 1S9S, by Hie Associated Press.) Off Santiago de Cuba. July 10, via. Kingston. Jamaica, July It. (11.30 a. m.) The board of survey appointed to f.umlno the wrecks of the Spanish shirs and to Inquire Into the nature of their Injuries, reports that only one ship can possibly be saved. She Is the Infanta Marin Teresa, the former llag shlp of Admiral Oervcra. The hull of the Cristobal Colon shows she waa only hit Mx times-, nnd then only by shells of 8-Inch, 5-Inch nnd S pounder calibre. This verifies the story that the commander of the Cristobal Colon surrendered because ho saw he could not get nway from the Hrooklyn and Oregon and to continue the bat tle meant a sacrifice of life. It was found that the brass plugs of the large guns and the bolts and locks or the small nrms had been thrown overboard. V1ZCAYA RIDDLED. The Vlzcaya showed she had been I riddled by the Hrooklyn and Oregon. She had not been struck by projectile5) larger than eight Inches. There was no sign of her .having been struck by a shell of twelve or thirteen Inches. "?r "I'per works were riddled by one and six pounder shells. Nearly all of thee shells exploded Inside the super structures and must have driven the men from the guns. This confirms the story of Captain Kulate that the Hrook lyn's seeondaiy battery fire was so ter rible that th'" men deserted their guns. A singular fact noted on the four ships Is that all the guns were trained forwaid and the story that they were all directed to lire on the Brooklyn is therefore shown to be true. Tho magazines of all tin ships ex ploded and the effect was to blow up tho decks and not completely pulverize the hull or turn the keel up as was true In the case of the battleship Maine. This Is looked upon as being Import ant AFFECTS ARMOR PLATE. Decision Rendered Which Is Adverse to Hie Carnegie Company. Pittsburg, July 11. Judge Acheson, of the United States Circuit court, handed down an opinion today In the ense of the United States Mltis com pany against tho Carnegie Steel com- I pany, limited. I The finding is thnt the defendant &mte- , f ,. .vl.oucnt iron and steel by company has Infringed a process of ddlng the most Important In years and in volves the manufacture of armor plates. Secretary F. T. Lovejoy, of the Car negie Steel company, when asked what effect the decision would have on the manufacture of armor plate, replied tlmt he had nothing to say. Counsel for the Carneglo Hcompany stnte that an appeal would be at once taken to the circuit court of appeals. JULY CROP REPORT. On tho Whole, tho Outlook I Con vltlered Encouraging. Washington, July 11. The agricul tural department's July crop report shows reduction of 3 per cent. In corn acreage from lust year with average condition 90.3 Winter wheat condi tion S3.7. a loss of 5.1 for the month, but 4.5 higher than last year; spring wheat. 93. 3.3 higher than lust yeav; combined condition spring and winter, S9.4: oats, 92.8; barley, 83.7; rye, M.v. The condition of winter wheat, 83.7, Is 1.3 points higher than the average for the past ten years. The principal state averages are as follows: Pennsylvania, S7; Maryland, 86; Tennessee, 90: Missouri, C8; Ken tucky, 93; Ohio, 89: Michigan. 9S; In diana, 94; Illinois, 06; Kansas, 89, and California, 10. BEATS TUB OCEAN RECORD. The Kaiser Wllhelin der Krone Cllpi Another Chunk OIL New York, July 11. The New York agents of the North German Lloyd Steamship company received a cable gram today saying that the steumer Kaiser Wllhelin der Grosse passed the Needles at five minutes past live this afternoon, having made the run from Sandy Hook light ship In five days, 19 hours and 33 minutes, at an average speed ot 22.56 knots over a distance of 31. IC knots. This tlmo Is two hours and twentv seven minutes less than her best pre vious record to Southampton, and on her present voyage the steamer cov ered eighty-one more miles than she did on her record breaking voyage. M'ur Revenue Figures. Philadelphia. July 11,-Colltctur Mc Claln. of the First internal revenue dis trict, with headquarters In this city, stated today thut he receipts at his office during the past two weeks havo amount? ed to J203.000 for proprietary and docu- military revenue stamps and 840,000 for 'Imprinted stacips. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New Yiirk. July ll.-Today'B stock mnr. ket was not rcmurkablo for breadth. In fact tho list us d whole showed little ac tivity and very little movement. Tho dullness gonernlly was tho or-tccm of tho uncertainty natural upon tlio eve of an Important military operation. Great con fidence Is felt In tho early reduction of Bantlngo, but the halt In speculation Is significant of tho desire for accomplished facts rather than probabilities, llut tho market was redeemed from dullness and perhaps from positive Weakness by the character of tho buying of epecial stocks and rallioud bonds. The strength In the early market was largely confined to tho Vanderbllts and tho movements In thtse had become specialized to Illinois Central and Omaha. Even In these two Omoba icacted sharply btfote tho closo of the day and New York Central was distinctly heavy lit tone. The task of sustaining the market pusHed other stocks of which Atchison preferred was most conspicuous. Net changes for the day generally were .small and mixed between gains and losses. Tho total sales were 28.1400 shares. Furnished by Wtt.MAM LINN ALLEN &. CO., stock brokers, Mears building, rooms iOj-TOS. Open- High- Low- Clos ing:, est. est. lac Am. Cot. Oil 2114 2114 Jli 21 Am.
