Various steamboat companies of New York have made Joint application to the Secretary of War to have the mines removed from New York Har bor, now that the danger from Span ish warships has practically ceased. Secretary Alger has refused to take any immediate action in this matter. General Shafter's complete report of I the two days' fighting at Santiago I shows that twenty-two officers and 208 men were killed, and eighty-one offi cers and 1,203 men were wounded. Sev enty-nine privates are missing. It is reported that there is intense feeling between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, and that the latter was forbidden to cable to Washington his report of the destruction of Admir al Cervera's fleet. The story that a Spanish privateer is lying in wait for the gold fleet from the Yukon seems to have some founda tion besides mere rumor. The first gold from the Klondike this year reached San Francisco early Sun day morning. It was brought by a party of twenty miners who arrived on the schooner Ilattie I. Phillips. Commissary General Eagan has completed his plans for a systematic method of feeding both the American army in Cuba and the starving inhabi tants of the island. The Government has bought the Al lan liner Rumanian, and practically closed negotiations for the purchase of the Chester of the International Navi gation Company. President McKinley has received of ficial information that the Pope is try ing to Induce Spain to assent to an armstice for ten days. It is reported that there is an aver age of fifteen deaths a day from star vation among the Spanish troops in the city of Guantan&mo. General Merrltt will declare Manilla open to commerce on his arrival in the ! Philippines, and put into operation a new American tariff. Expecting Santiago to fall, the Ad ministration is hurrying plans for the Porto Rican expedition, which Genera) Miles will lead. General Howard Carroll has been or dered by Governor Black of New York to recruit thiee new batteries of artil lery. The first American newspaper pub lished on Cuban soil—the Cuban edi tion of the New York Journal—was issucc Sunday. MAJOR-GKN. NELSON A. MILES. Who Has Taken Command of the U.

Absolute order was maintain ed on the American ship from the mo ment when the fire was discovered un til the Captain, having seen the last of the passengers and crew safe in the boats, lowered himself over the side to a raft when it was no longer possi ble to remain en the burning ship. Not a man left the ship until all the women were safe in the first boat, with the exception of a young bride, wh J refused to be separated from her hus band, and the stewardess, who, after providing all the women passengers with life preservers and animating them with the example of her courage, declared that she would stand by the officers and crew, and insisted on tho privilege of being the last woman to leave the ship.

SANTIAGO IS SHELLED. On Final Refusal of Spaniards to Make an Unconditional Surrender. TRUCE ENDED SUNDAY. The City Is Invested by the Amer ican Army of 27,000 Men and the Fleet. General Shatter Reported His Position I'ractleally linpregnulile and He and Ad miral Sampson Ordered Ilombardmenl to Ilogln Suiidey Alternoon—Spaniard* Said to Have About 2tt,000 Men In the Cltj Now Deserted of Koncombatauts. General Shafter's Headquarters, July 14.—Fighting continued during Mon 1 day. 1 In several of the Spanish trenches our troops found dummy wooden guns and no Spanish soldiers. There was a very weak fire from the Spanish troops and the American offi cers received further evidence of the great distress existing in Santiago. Washington, July 14.—Shortly before 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning a dis patch was received at the War Depart ment from Gen. Shatter. The message from Shafter was very brief, but it stated that a white flag bad been up since 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, and that the bombardment of the city had been further postponed. Washington, July 14.—The bombard ment of Santiago by the big guns of Admiral Sampson's fleet and the siege mortars and field batteries of the Fifth Army Corps began Sunday evening, in accordance with Gen. Shafter's ulti matum to the commander of the Span ish forces defending the city, that un less Santiago was surrendered without conditions the place would be attacked by land and sea. At six o'clock a dis patch came to the War Department from Gen. Shafter saying that tho bombardment won d begin at about 4 o'clock that afterm on, and a few hours later another met age informed the partment that the attack had begun. Gen. Shafter's notification that he would renew the assault on the town and its defences followed the receipt oj a communication from Gen. Toral, commanding the Spanish forces, de? clining to surrender without terms. Sat urday, Gen. Shafter, in demanding the unconditional sur nder of Santiago, informed Gen. T< al that unless tht demand was eomr' ed with by 4 P. M. Sunday, the Ame an fleet and slego batteries would gb 11 the place. That this threat was carried out is shown by the messages received by the War Department, the first of which is as follows: MAI* OK TIIK BATTLE CHOUND. "Siboney, via Hayti, 5:55 P. M., July 10, "Adjutant General. Washington; "Headquarters Fifth Army Corps, July 10.—I have Just received letter from Gen. Toral declining uncondition al surrender.

Aguadores, July 13.—8y preconcerted arrangement with the army, the ships cf the fleet threw shells Into Santiago Sunday afternoon. It had been ar ranged that there should be a simul taneous firing by the ships and tlhe land artillery, beginning at 4 o'clock, but a heavy rain fell which Interfered with the telephone and signal work from the army lines down to the railroad bridge at Aguadores and the wigwag station established on the beaeh. At 4:45 P. M. the rumble of artillery on the American lines was heard, anil the Brooklyn, lying half a. mile east of Aguadores, a minute later opened fire with five-Inch shells from her port battery. The Texas, to the westward, Assumed position and was followed by the Indiana. The Hrlng was at long intervals and was kept up until the Brooklyn had planted fifteen five-Inch shells and Ihe Texas seven twelve-inch and three six-Inch shells. The Indiana sent a number of eight- Inch shells over the steep hills and in to the enemy's lines. The firing lasted an hour. It was Impossible from the sea to estimate the results, as a view could not be had over the first hill. The range was north by west. 10,050 yards. Less than a minute after the Brook lyn opened fire a danger flag, white above yellow, was raised above Morro Castle. Reports have been received here that the land artillery shelled the Spanish entrenchments for some time. Our loss during the bombardment was slight. The loss of the Spaniards cannot be ascertained. The steamship Bratton, a Norwegian freighter, was chased and captured Sunday morning by the Brooklyn. She had on board a cargo of supplies sent to Santiago on speculation by mer chants at Kingston and Port Antonio. F4he has been tied up until the fleet en ters Santiago harbor. The War Board has decided to re place the battleship lowa In the East ern euadron with t.ie Massachusetts. AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS.
