His Enemy Opened Fire With Light Batteries THREE AMERICANS WOUNDED. Attempt Will Be Made to Take the City Today, When Great Things Are Ex pected From the Heavy Siege Batteries of the Army Together With the Heavy Guns i of Sampson's Fleet General Shatter Reports That His Lines Are Impregnable The Belief Is That Gen eral Toral Will Surrender. Washington, July 11. "The bom bardment of Santiago lias begun." That was the verbal Information obtained last evening shortly before 9 o'clock at the war department. Almost Immediately three bulletins were posted, the most Important of which was from General Shafter. This dispatch announced that General Toral, who succeeded General Linares In command of the Spanish forces in Santiago when the latter was wounded, had declined to surrender uncondition ally, 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 Shatter to begin so late In the day created some comment, but no explanation of it was offered. In fjdswer to a question bearing upon that point, General Corbln said: "I have not the slightest Information as to the reasons General Shafter had for be ginning the bombardment at the hour he names, but It was probably because he was ready Just at that time. Vou can speculate about that as well as I can." Information received by the war de partment during the few days of truce Indicates that he has materially strengthened his position. During the past week he has received reinforce ments of both Infantry and artillery. Randolph's battery of 21 guns, which left Key West last Tuesday at mid night, Is now In position before San tiago, and, as one of the war depart ment ofllcluls expressed it," when these long toms of Randolph begin to talk something will happen In Santiago." General Shafter has nearly 50 siege guns and a large number of seven Inch mortars, besides lighter artillery at his disposal. These cuns, taken in con nection with the work that can be done by the ileot. will. It Is believed, carry terror and ilstiuetlnn to Santiago. "Playa DeN Kste, July 10, Adjutant General, Washington, Headquarters Fifty corps.

General Garcia reportB thut enemy evacuated little town called Descanlnos, about three miles from Santiago, and near the bay. Shafter." The news of the bombardment came at the close of a buoy Sunday In the war department. Previous to the re ceipt of this dispatch the secretary of war had heard twice from General Shafter. In the early morning came a telegram saying that he had ridden over the American lines and was grat tiled at their condition. A second dls patch reported that the linos were 1m pregnable, thus removing any fear of a successful sortie by the Spanish troops should a maneuver of this kind be at tempted. When questioned as to whether he believed that there had been a bom bardment of the city, Generrtl Corbln replied: "You know as much about it as I do. I have kept nothing back. should say, however, that the firing tor (Jay waH but the piellmlnary to tho more serious business of tomorrow." This being the case, the attempt to take tho city will be made today. The belief Is held by the best Inform ed officials that General Toral, tho Spanish commander, will surrender when he finds It will be Impossible for htm to evacuate the city. Upon what ground this belief Is based could not be ascertained, but that Information to that effect Is In the hands of the war officials there Is no doubt. General Shafter's dispatch last night shows that ho Is engaged now in strengthening his position, and today will follow up his operations with a final assault upon the city. Everything on the firing line Is now ready for the commencement of hos tilities. The dynamite gun, which has been In position for several days, Is now In bettor working order than at any time of the battle of San Juan, and It Is predicted that its charges, consisting of 20 pounds of gun cotton and celutine, will woik havoc In the Spanish trenches when It opens fire.

Shepherd, of Pottsville, Made the Permanent Chairman. JAMES W. RYAN FOR CONGRESS ! William A. Marr, of AshlanJ, Named for Judge-Both Were Nominated by Accla-matlon-Bradlgan Withdrwa From the Controllershlp Fight-Balloting For District Attorney. Special to hvENiso Herald. The Democratic county convention con vened lu Union hull this morning itnd was called to order by County Chaltman Joseph W. Moyer. All indications pointed to an ex citing convention, the groatost interest being manifested in tlio contest for District Attor ney and Controller. Watson F. Shepherd, Esq., former county chairman and candidate for Congress in 1800, was last night decided upon by the loaders and candidates as permanent chairman of the convention. An clfort was mado this morn ing by the friends of M. P. Qtiiuii, candidate for Congross, to develop strength against Shepherd. Edward Kennoy, of Butler township, was the man seloctod to oppose Shepherd, witli tho idea that the friends of Marr, who had agreed upon Shepherd, would be compelled to desert tlio latter and favor tho Butler township man. All cfTorts in this direction, however, wore early abandoned, for tlio very good reason that tho ex-county chairman was the choice of the majority of the candidates and their friends. At an early hour this morning James W. Uyan, Esq., held tho key to the situation so far as the Congiessional fight was concerned. Badges bearing his likeness wero plentiful. In fact, ho and Moran, candidate for District Attorney, wero the only candidates of the hundred and more who distributed badges. The friends of Uyan, just beforo tho conven tion convened, wero confident of victory, and claimed considerable more than 5,000 votes for their favorito, 4,902 being necessary for a choice Tho supporters of (jiiinu, how ever, disputed this claim, but it was evident that in the early stages of tho fight Bvun was lu tho lead, and that it would require a combination of all candidates to defeat him. Ex-Congressman James B. Iieilly withdrew from the light, his friends realizing the hope lessness of a contest. What delegates aie here for him are now booiuiug liyan. The latter refused to go into any combination, but it is believed there is a perfect under standing between him and Marr. The contest in which must Intotest Is mani fested is the Controllership, with Muldoou leading. At an early hour this morning, a cailens was held at Marr's headquarters, where an effort was made to form a slate, giving Shen andoah tho Corouership, Dr. Mouaghau of that town being decided upon. Tho candi date for Controller was to bo cither Kerns or Lcinoweaver, thus giving Shenandoah the throw-down in tho Controllership. Tho friends of Muldoou looked upon this move as an indication of woaknosa ou the part of the other candidates: in fact, they asserted that the movement was inaugurated by the friends oi Brudigan. I ho latter would not concede his defeat.and claimed, up to tho hour of tho convention, a majority of tho delegates. His friends wero active, and did somo etfectivo work for their man during tho last stages of tho tight. Every effort to form a slate last night proved a failure Tho personal strength of the leading candidates for District Attorney aud Controller was tho rock upon which tlio slate-makers perished. Tho bitterness of tho Controller fight was transferred from Shen andoah to this town, and has raged in all its fury from tlio timo the candidates arrived until the final vote was taken. The fact that the District Attorney was nominated before the Controller complicated matters.aud caused tho Muldoou people some apprehension. Both B. F. Cuminlngs and Bobert Basliore, candidates for District Attorney, were anxious to form a combination with the Muldoon people. The latter fully realized that if McLaughlin secured tlio District Attorney ship, ncitlior Muldoon nor. Brudigan would bo in it. The result of the Altoona convention, so far as the platform is concerned, had much bearing on tho convention of to-day. The rabid freo-silverites manifested vory little interest in tho proceedings, especially in re spect to tho platform. That documont was prepared last night by friends of Marr and tho wall paper syndicate There is not much doubt, however, but that the majority of tho delegates tavor an indorsement of Bryan and the Chicago platform, but the men who aro looking for offices aro willing to subor dinate their principles and have apparently persuaded tlio delegates to tholr wav of look ing at the financial question. Tho framers of tho platform offer tho plea that national issues liavo no bearing on tho present contest, notwithstanding a candidato for Congress, who must necossarlly deal with questions of finance aud other national issues, is to ho nominated at this convention. Although Ityan mado his can vass principally ou tlio pica, that ho was the only candidato for Congress who indorsed tho Chicago platform in lbWI, he was ouly too willing to accede to tho wishes of tho gold standard managors in their demand for a platform dealing with state and county issues solely. Should tho platform as outlined co throuuh the convention without opposition from the loaders of tho silver wing, It does not neces sarily follow that the latter acquiesce Tho fact that they aro indifferuut, is an indication i iiai iuo goou oia snip Democracy win meet with many storms in its voyage this fall. There aro free silver broakers ahead. Wadlingor, candidate for Judgo, was the (list of tlio many candidates to withdraw. .Shortly before tho timo fixed for tho couvon tion ho announced to his friends that ho was out oi tlio light, leaving W. A. Marr, of Ashland, without opposition for tho Judicial nomination. ouuuiy uiier whs announcement It was rumored that M. P.
