There has been little fighting so far and no Americans have been killed, notwithstanding reports to the contrary yesterday. It is the expectation that the American army will be in full possession of Santiago before many hours. General Toral has evidently weakened considerably and the news that Sagasta's ministry has resigned coupled with the complete and effective surrounding of Santi ago by the American forces will no doubt work towards bringing him to terms. General Shafter does not say in his despatch when the armistice will end. but the war department does not look for any news of operations to-day. THE NEWAEK OfENS FIRE.

General Nelfon A. MIIph. commanding the United States army, na nrrlved off Santiago bay. Upon the urrlval of the auxiliary cruiser Ynle, on which General Miles was a passenRer, communication was opened with Admiral Sampson and the two commanders were soon In confer ence. During the early afternoon Gen eral Miles landed at l'luya Del Kslo und communicated with General Shaf ter, commanding the Ameiicnn forces before Santiago, with telephone. Jt In understood to have been Gen eral Miles' purpose to proceed Immedi ately to General Shatter's headquar ters at Slboney, and after discussing with Shafter the hitter's plan of cam paign, to make a personal examina tion of the Amerlcnn position. It Is not to bo understood that General Miles is to supersede General Shafter In com mand of the United States forces bo fore Santlngo. General Shafter Is opsr atlng there under written Instructions from the secretary of war, approved by the president, and so long as he Is able physically to do so he will retain his command. A prominent official of the war de partment said late lust night that neither the administration nor General Miles had any desire to detract an lota from the credit due to General Shafter for the plans by which he hopes to achieve a victory at Santiago. The notably fast run made by the cruiser Yale from Charleston to San tiago Is particularly pleasing to the naval officials. She left Charleston on Saturday morning at 2 o'clock, mak ing the run In a trifle less than two days and a half. She had on board the Sixth Massachusetts, one of the regi ments of General Garrettson's brigade. DEPGftATIG GOjVEflTIOJl Watson Defeated by Hlfrgins Tor Senatorial Nomination. the ONE CENT SPECIAL!

The signal corps officers stationed on top of the 1 Idee reported the effect of the shots. The New York, Brooklyn and Indiana participated In the firing, at Intervals of five minutes. The bom bardment lasted for two hours, when General Shatter reported that the shells were mostly falling In the bay and do ing but little damage. Tho last shot, however, struck prominent church In the heart of the city, which was heavily stored with powder and ammunition, causing tremendous explosion. The extent of the damage' Is not yet known. When the warships ceased firing and before General Shafter had besun land attack a flag of truce was seen coming from the city. The object of this was not known at noon, when the press correspondent left the front.

Together With Thunder and Lightning the Situation Must Have Been Ap palling to the Spaniards. Port Antonio, July 12. The Brooklyn. Texas and Indiana, under Commodore Schley, began the bombardment ot the city of Santiago nt G.1D in the evening, in obedience to a request from General Shafter, conveyed by a signal from the shore. The warships lined up from tho east to west, a quarter of a -mile from the shore, nnd llred over the limestone cliffs that come down to the sea and hide the cltv, five miles away. The bombardment was continued for one hour. After 35 shots had been fired from the 8-inch guns Commodore Schley became convinced that the lirooklyn's fire was falling short and ordered a cessation. The shots were fired apparently with great deliberation nnd at Intervals of two minutes. The signals from the shore announced that the shells fell 1.000 feet short and a little to tho left of the Snanish position. At dusk the Bouadron ceased firing. Following the ronr of Commodore Schley's guns could be heard the Bhrlek lng of tho shells ns they sped on their way to tho doomed Spanish city. Then came a long echo from the hills back of Santiago, nnd sometimes a peal of thunder prolonged tho reverbratlons and gave tho Impression that the city was bombarded fiom sky, sea midland The situation mut have been ap palling to the Spaniards, and if General Shatter made the demonstration for tho mere effect which It would have on the wavering enemy he probably attained his end.

It is said that he advised the queen re gent to appoint a new cabinet, largely consisting of the military element which would not necessarily mean th adoption of a warlike policy, but prob ably tho reverse. "It Is generally expected that the resignation will be accepted, but the result may pnsBlbly be merely a partial reconstruction of the cabinet.

Glrardville, July 12. Tbo Democrats of tbo Thirtieth Senatorial district met in O'Neill's hall this morning to nominate a candidate for Senator. P. J. Mulbolland, a member of the county committee, called the convention to order at 11 o'clock. TI10 friends of John F. Higgins wore out in full force nnd money was used to tbo ad vantage of their favorite Tho Shenandoah School Boaid contingent also played a prom inent part, the Directors and many holding appointment under the Board being con spicuous by tholr piesonce. In fact, tbo in quiry was frcoly made whether or not the Boaril had called a special session this morn ing, the meeting placo selected heingO'N'eill's hall. Watson developed considerable strength mid caused the Higglus lieutenants much 1111-oai-iuess. Tho fact that Higgins had the greater number of active workers in li is sup port was looked upon as tbo secret of bis suc cess in this light, augmented by the free use of the "long green." When tho convention was called to ordtr Preliminary Chairman Mulhollaud lost no timo in getting down to business and cau tioned tho delegates to uso good judgment in their deliberations. lie appointed Michael Killcur, of Girardvillo, and SI. K. Doyle and James F. O'llearn, of Shenandoah, as tem porary secretaries, who wero subsequently made permanent. Tbo olection of permanent chairman re sulted in T. J. Mullahcy, of Shenandoah, receiving 81 votes, and P. C. Foy, of Gintrd villo, (18 votes. Mullahcy represented the Higgins forces, and was declared elected. Frank Hanii.i, secietary or tho Shenandoah School Board, nominated Mullahoy, and James II. Uoopcr, of Girardvillc, named Foy. Contests were recorded in tbo Second aud Third wards of Shenandoah, and the First ward of Mahanoy City. Thero was a contest iu the Fourth ward of Shenandoah, but the chair would not entertain it because it was signed by thoso outside of tbo district. The committee 011 credentials wero : Frank Hauna, Sbcnandahi Martin Curley, William Fairley, John Bums, Edward Barrett, Joseph Becker aud L. A. Welir. Tbo committee re ported in favor of all tho seating delegates, who wero Higgins men, but their report was objected to because tbo committee cfused to hear the contestants. A mo tion was mado seating the contostauts from Mahanoy City, but by arbitrary ruling on tho part of tbo chairman he refused to put tho motion, when many delegates predicted that Higgius might bo nominated by such tactics, but ho would never bo elected. Neverthe less tho cut-aud-dricd program was pushed through. Had Watson's contesting delegates been seated be would have secured tho nomina tion, theso delegates giving him 737 votes, and ho was only defeated by 575 votes. This morning tho Higgius peoplo figured ou over 1,000 majority. Tho committee ou resolutions, consisting of John Munlcy, of Butler; John F. Burns, William Graham, Georgo A. Betting, James Brennan, C. T. Blew and John N. Pauley, re ported in favor of tho adoption of tbo samo platform as adopted by the county couven tion, and their recommendation was agreed to by the convention. While tho committee on resolutions were deliberating John O. Ulrich, Esq., of Ta maqua, u candidate for Senator, secured tbo platform to withdraw his name, and during his remarks scored tbo Democratic state, county and Senatorial district convcu tions for ignoiiiig the Chicago platform and tho priuciples of tho truo Democracy. Ho said that lie had announced his candidacy upon a platform that would have corrected certain ovils that exist in state and county administration, but that he "spent 110 money, distributed no beer and had few delegates." Ho had asked the people on his tour of the district to send him to tho Stato Senate, to correct, what be termed, glaring evils. When ho declared that tho state convention had ignored tbo Chicago platform, and that the county convention at Pottsvillo yesterday followed in tho samo lino iu sacrificing tho principles of tbo party, thero wero loud cries of "Put him out 1" "Ho wants to break ur tho party ! " Ono delegato from the Second ward of Shenandoah was very angry, and said whilo Democrats woro working for harmony such freo silvorites as Ulrich and others wanted to defeat tholr cllorts. Tho lawyer, howovor, continued his remarks long enough to say to tho delegates that tho state convention was composed of "bums and renegadei" contrnlled by corporations, and closed his lemarks by saying that "wero tho delegates ot tins convention to givo mo credentials as their nominee for Senator without opposition, I would not accept such a nomination, iu view of the action of the county convention on tho financial question. Mr. Ulrich then retired from tho couven tion amid tbo jeers of many of the delegates. The convention proceeded with tbo nomin ation of candidates for Senator without tuk ing a recess.
