THEY WILL FIGHT TO THE LAST
Is the Opinion of War Officials at Washing
tonGeneral Shatter's Loss in Killed and
Wounded Is Now Known to Have Reached
Seventeen Hundred Fugitives From San
tiago Landed by British and Austrian
Warships at Kingston, Jamaica A Res
olution in Congress Which Recognizes
Commodore Schley as the Real Hero of
the Destruction of Cervera's Fleet.
Washington, July C Last night was
a comparatively quiet otio at both the
war anil navy departments. Several
dispatches wero received by Adjutant
Oonoral Corbin from General Shatter,
but their contents wero not given to
the public. No bulletins had been
posted at midnight either by tho war
department or by the mivy department.
A message received from General
Shafter indicates that the situation of,
the people of Santiago is terrlblo. They
aro not only panic stricken over the
fear of bombardment, but they aro
suffering from lack of the actual
necessaries of life. In one of his cable
grams General Shafter says:
"Tho town (Santiago) Is In a ter
rible condition as to food. Tho peo
plo are starving. Rico is practically
tho only staplo article of food they
have." Further along In tho same dis
patch Shutter says that the growing
crops in the vicinity of tho city liavo
already been utilized by the residents
of tho city, and that tho only growing
article of food left Is a few mangoes.
Speaking of tho troops under his
command? General Shafter says:
"The men aro in good spirits and
rcmurkably well."
In tho courso of another dispatch
General Shatter, referring to tho con
dltlon pf those Injured, saysy
"All tho wounded are doing' singu
larly well, only one death having oc
curred since tho battle." .
A private cablegram received from
General Sumner, formerly colonel of
tho Sixth cavalry, stationed at Fort
Mover, Vu near this city, says:
"All Fort Meyer's officers safe and
well."
Tho glad tidings received from both
General Shatter and General Sumner
concerning tho condition of tho troops
and particularly the wounded, will bo
received with joy in nil parts of tho
country.
General Shatter's statement of tho
situation in Santiago is homo out by
the condition of tho men captured by
tho American fleet from tho vessels of
Cervera's squadron. Thoy had been
on half rations so long that many of
them wore nearly famished, nnd If
thoy had not boon taught that capture
by tho Americans meant death they
would havo welcomed It, becnuso It
Insured thorn good food mid plenty of
It.
It 1b learned authoritatively that
tremendous prossuro Is being brought
to bear upon the Spanish commander
of Santiago by the foreign consuls
resident In tho city to Induce him, in
the Intoicsts of humanity, to sur
render to tho lnovllalilo. Tho consuls
have communicated with thulr homo
governments, unil it is believed hero
that representations will bo mado by
them to Spain to lnduco hor to permit
tho city to surrender, thereby pro
venting further loss of life and prop
erty. What tho result of thoso nego
tiations may bo cannot bo foretold.
Tho opinion expressed by war officials
Is that tho Spaniards will fight to tho
last, and capitulate only when thoy
aro forced to do so, For that reason
any delay of offensive action against
tho city is not regardod In army circles
With favor.

Speclnl IIkhai.d Correspondence.
Pottsville, July II. Tho political situation
so far as tho Democrats aio concerned, still
remains in n chaotic condition, aud tho re
sult of tho stato convention has only added
fuel to tho fire. Tho gold standard Demo
crats aro gieatly eiiiouragod and confidently
predict that tho result of tho Allodia gath
ering means thu formation of a platform
similar In eharactor at tho county conven
tion noxt Monday. A draft of tho platform
to be submitted to tho convention is alioady
iioing lonned by thoso opposed to the Bryan
inconos. aim it will deal with slalo issues
and questions bearing upon the administra
tion of county affiiirs. Tho liepublican
boaid of County Commissioners and the ad
ministration of tho almshouso will roeoivo
much attention, but tbcro will bo no financial
plank if "Billy" Matz aud his friends can
prevent it.
THE Sn.VEllITEJ.
It is true that the admirers of Byran re
turned from Altooua with much loss en
thusiasm than they displayed when they
left homo for the convention, nevertheless
thoy aro prepared to renew tho fight in tho
county convention. Thoy havo not sur
icndeiod, by any moans. In fact, such men
as Uliicli, Lawlor, Williclm, tho two Toolus
and others aro sanguine that tho majority of
llio ilologates to bo oleeted next Satutday
will demand an endorsement of Bryan and
tho Chicago platform by tho convention, aud
openly assort that tho candidate who fails to
openly declare in favor of that plank will
not bo nominated. Thoir defeat at Altooua
has intensified tbo feeling of tho Hryanitos,
anil mey are out loi blood and blue blood,
at that.
Many open threats aro mado, in tbo event
ol another turn-down of tho Silvoritcs.
Should tho county convention tako tho sanio
position tho state convention did, it is n safe
piedictiou to say that thoro will bo
AX ISDKI'KKBiafT CANDIDATE
for Congress, nominated upon a silver plat
form. This prediction also embraces tho
Senatorial and Legislative conventions. Tho
gold standard leaders laugh wheu questioned
about tho threats of tho Silverites, and say
tho latter would not daro place tbomsolves
outside tho regular party organization in this
county, aud that tho men now making the
threats of nominating independent candidates
are doing so for ell'ect, with tho object of
frightening thoso opposed to their dogmas
into their way of thinking.
The Judicial contest is an open fight be
tween George J. Wadlinger and W. A. Marr,
Lsqs. Tho friends of both havo been aetivo
for many wooks. Wadlingor is looked upon
by many as the leading member of the
Schuylkill Bar, who is deserving of much at
the hands of his party, while Marr is a Demo
cratic war-horso of many battles. The latter
is looked upon as the candidate of the cor
orations, and this may bo a source of weak
nessintho present contest. Wadlingor has
developed much strength in tho closing stages
of tho contest, and in localities where his
opponent was supposed to bo impregnable.
For Cougress thero aro tlneo pronounced
candldatos Murtha P. guinn, James B.
Ucllly and James W. Kyan. The latter is a pro
nounced Silvorite and has mado his fight on
that issue. Tl. other two aro opposed to tho
10 to 1 idea, and It Is doubtful whethor Quiuu
would atccpt the nomination on a silver plai
form. James B. Keilly, of course, is aftor
tho offico, nnd would hardly refuse a nomina
tion on any platform. Wbilo it may appear
ridiculous to relate, nevertheless it is a fact
that
iei:ili.y and mtraiM
are in a deal to socuro tho Congiesaioual
nomination from their lespective parties.
Each has an idea that ho can defeat tho
other, and Is theiofore anxious to havo his
name, which has already become an oyosoro
to tho people generally, appear upon their
respective party tickets. Brumm's closest
political friends are working to socuro
Heilly's nomination by tho Democrats, and
aro deceiving themselves with the bolief that
their favoiito could defeat his old antagonist.
Shrewd politicians of both patties admit that
Beilly would bo tbo strongest candidate for
tho Democrats, should Brunim be tho Ito
publican nominee, but tho lattor, who is
credited with vory littlo political sagacity
thinks othorwiso. Itoillv will
in his power to socuro tho nomination of
Brunim by tbo Hopublicaiis, knowing his
weakness. In fact, all tho Democratic candi
dates are anxious to see Brumm nominated.
THK CON'TBOLLKItHHIP.
The greatest interest is centered In the
big tight now going on between tho threo
popular and well known candidates from
your town, who are anxious to succeed Con
troller Snyder. Both Muldoon and Bradigan
aro actively at work to secure tho delegates
from Shenandoah, while Master appears to be
coniinlng himself to othor localities. In tho
opiuiou ot many this is looked us a shrewd
move, and may remit in Ida nomination. 1
am told that he will receivo the sunmirt nf
his opponents khould oithor one drop out of
mo race alter tno llrst battlo.and it is reason
ablo to suppose that Muldoon's friends
would go to Master rather than Bradigan,
aud vico versa.
Tho contest in Sheuandoah, from what I
can glean from tho friends of both sides, ap
pears to bo rnoio of a local factional fight for
supremacy rather than anything olso, with
tho odds ill favor of tho faction led by Mul
doon. llowovor, it will bo a battlo royal,
and neither side will havo a largo majority.
