She leaves a husband and twa small children, NEXT CITY TO BE ATTACKED. Neuvitas, Capital of the Province of Puerto Principe. Gen. Shafter’s Headquarters, Before Santiago, July 12. — As soon as the Americans have taken Santiago I am told by a prominent Cuban officer that it is the intention to invest Nuevitas, the principal port of the Province of Puerto Principe. This move is re- garden as being highly important, in as much as the Spaniards, after Nue- vitas has been taken from them, will have been shorn of authority in all parts of Cuba east of the Province of Matanzas. Nuevitas is a small place, easy of capture and offers fewer ob- stacles than does Santiago. Cuban leaders assert that, with this port in our possession Spain’s power will be broken throughout Central and East- ern Cuba. Positive statements now are made that Gen. Pando abandoned his attempt to get into Santiago with bis troops, and that he halted his men at a point twenty miles from Santiago. Pando was unwilling to try to force his way through the mountains, large- ly because of the fact that even if he had succeeded in getting into Santi- ago he could do nothing but share with Gen. Linares the responsibility for the fall of the city, recognized on all sides, by Spaniards as well as Americans, that Santiago must sur- render or suffer destruction. Gen. Shafter’s position is being strength- ened every hour and Admiral Sampson if fast perfecting plans for the co-op- eration of the fleet with the American land forces. Col. Roosevelt's rough riders, who have taken such a conspicuous part in the hard fighting all along the way toward Santiago, will have another op- portunity to distinguish themselves when the final assault on the be- leaguered city is made. The rough riders now are the only volunteers in the first line. In addition to occupy- ing an important position in the line, the rough riders have to win glory with their dynamite gun, which is in charge of Sergeant Hallett Alsop Bor- rowe. This deadly machine of war has been mounted in a commanding position, and the men handling it are confident of doing effective work when the opportunity comes. The rough riders are in spelendid physical condition. The health of all the men at the front is now excellent. Brave But Foolish, Mesina, Sicily, July 12.—The ofiicers of the torpedo boat destr accompanied Admiral Camara to Port Said, have arrived here on the return trip. They were much affected on learning of tlre destruction of Admiral Cervera’s fleet, declaring themselves ready to make every rrifice and de- termined to fight to the last. Fatal Street Car Collision. Washington, July 12. — An electric car on the Congress Heights road filed with passengers crashed into a horse car on the Anacosta line. An unknown man was killed and between twelve and fifteen injured, several se- riously. Both cars were demolished and the horses on the Anacosta car were killed. The Vatican Is Cautious. London, July 12.—The Rome corre- spondent of the Daily Mail, recording the interchange of views between the vatican and Madrid with a view of urging the queen regent in the direc- tion of peace, says: “The action of the Vatican has been very cautious in order to avoid displeasing the United States.” War the Sole Topic. Madrid, July 12.—The cabinet coun- cil, the ministers declared, did not touch the peace question. On the con- trary, war was the principal object of the government’s deliberation. The council was occupied with a dispatch from Gov. Gen. Blanco detailing his means of defense in Cuba. Knocked Down St. Paul, July 12.—Mrs. Hanley, a widow sixty-five years old, was knocked down near her home at 10 o'clock last night and was badly in- jured. A crowd had gathered to watch a policeman make an arrest, and a buggy driving through the crowd knocked her down, On Gen. Miles’ Stam, Valley City, N.

Wednesday, July 6. Admiral Camara’s fleet is now on its way through the Suez. Gen. Pando is seriously wounded in a battle with Garcia’s forces. Foreign warships are reported to have left Manila as soon as our troops arrived. Spaniards make a desperate night at- tack upon the American forces and are repulsed with great loss. American casualties were not heavy. The bombardment of Santiago has been postponed pending the arrange- ment between Sampson and Shafter of a joint plan of attack upon the city. A resolution is introduced in the house tendering the thanks of con- gress to Commodore Schley and of- ficers under him for his brilliant vic- tory over Cervera’s ‘fleet. Thursday, July 7. Camara’s fleet has been ordered back to defend the Spanish seacoast. The Reina Mercedes, the last of Cervera’s once splendid squadron, is destroyed. No further advance of troops will be made until preparations are complete in every department. The Alfonso XII tries to run the blockade from Havana harbor and is completely destroyed. The navy department is hopeful that some of Cervera’s ships can be saved from total destruction. The president has issued a proclama- tion calling upon the people to offer thanksgiving to Almighty God for the successful achievements of the Ameri- can arms. The enthusiasm aroused by the mis- leading dispatches to the Spanish gov- ernment has turned to despair and rage by the official announcement of the destruction of Gervera’s fleet. Friday July 8. The exchange of Hobson and his men is effected. Dewey reports the American troops comfortably housed at Cavite. Gen. Shafter announces that the joint attack on Santiago will begin Saturday noon. Gen.
