have occasion to regret her neglect and
indifference. Not only in times of war
is it almost indispensable, but also in
peace, to further our commercial inter

by Ohio republicans are but the expres

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Douglas county delegations to a state
convention are scarcely ever a unit oh
any question, but this time the republic
ans of Douglas have unanimously agreed
upon Judge Baker as their preferred
candidate for governor. There is not
that spontaneity in political action that
there ought to be, and a candidate for
the head of ticket who can command for
himself one hundred votes, and all or
nearly all of the hundred for the others
slated with him, is pretty sure to be a
formidable factor in the nomination of
the ticket, if he does not himself secure
a nomination. The convention will have
915 members 458 being necessary to a
choice. There are eight nominations to
make, now if a slate could be formed, so
that each one could furnish 58 of the
458 votes necessary for a choice, the
slate would succeed, and this is the or
dinary course pnraued, not always with
success, and not at any time without
considerable work and more consider
able worry.
BEGINNING OF THE BA TTLE.
At 10 o'clock Friday, July 1, a dis

the thrilling record of such a Fourth of

July as has not been known since the
bells of Independence hall rang out the
tidings of American freedom. It was a
day when one momentous event fol
lowed another in constant and rapid
succession, each hoar bringing forth
some incident more Htartling than what
had gone before. The climax came at 1
o'clock, when, amid the wildest cheer
ing, which fairly shook the great war,
state and navy' building tots founda
tion, Admiral Sampson's dispatch au
nonnciug h'is glorious victory was given
to the public. v
BtMjr Pay for President.
The White house was naturally the
focal poiut of the enthusiasm and stir
ring activity which marked- official
Washington. It was the busiest day
the president has had since the war be
gan. Conference followed conference
with the heads of the military and naval
departments, high officers of the service
came and went in a constant and steady
stream, and as each hour brought its
added lustre to the American arms the
crowd of officials increased. The presi
dent had not a moment's respite. Tele
grams came and went without cessation
and this historic old mansion presented
a scene such as has not been paralleled
since the momentous hours of the civil
war.
The story of the day is best told in the
series of official dispatches, each bearing
date of July 4, from Shatter and from
Dewey. Stirring as they are, that of
Sampson was accorded the honor of
chief importance, not only for the im
mediate results secured, but from the
effects of the crushiug defeat in weak
ening the defenses of Santiago and in
dealing Spain such a staggering blow
that fthe is left practically without a
navy.
Sampson's Dispatch.
The admiral's dispatch follows:
Playa, via Hayti, 3:15 a. m. (Siboney,
July 4). The fleet under my command
offers the nation as a Fourth of July pres
ent the destruction of the whole of Cer
vera's fleet Xo one escaped. It attempt
ed to escape at 9:50 a. m. and at 8 p. m.
the last, the Cristobal Colon, had run
ashore six miles west of Santiago and had
letdown Its colors. The Infanta Marie
Teresa, Oquendo and Vizcaya were forced
ashore and were burned and blown up
within SO miles of Santiago; the Furor
and Pluton were destroyed within, four
miles of tho port. Loss, one killed and
two wounded.
Enemy's loss prohably several hundred,
from gun fire, explosions and drowning.
About 1,800 prisoners, Including Ad
miral Cervera.
ThQ man killed was George H. Ellis
chief yeoman of the Brooklyn.
gAVPSOX.
The following message was sent to
Admiral Sampsoufcy the president:
v You have the gratitude and congratula
tions of the whole American people. Con
vey to your noble officers and crews,
through whose valor new honors have
been added to the Americans, the grateful
thanks and appreciation of the nation.
William McKixlet.
Admiral Sampson's dispatch, although
brief , tells the story of fearful destruc
tion. It not only disclosed the terrible
prowess of the American fleet, but it
again displayed the strange immunity
which the American sailor seems to
have in the midst of death and carnage.
That but one of our sailors, a yeoman
on the Brooklyn, should have been
killed in au engagement of this magni
tude is without a parallel in naval an
nals, save in that other unparalleled
record Dewey made at Manila.
Fall of City Aaaared.
With the Spanish fleet destroyed the
way is practically cleared for advance of
the American squadron into the harbor
of Santiago. If Cervera's armored
cruisers could cross the mine field and
clear the Merrimac, the American ships
can follow the same course. There are
the inner fortifications and island forts
still to be reduced, but they have passed
through a baptism of fire recently and
are little more than ruins. Thus with
Bhafter's guns thunderiBg on Santiago
from the land and Sampson's from the
harbor the fall of the city is assured.
The authorities here, military and
naval, said Santiago has already made
its best fight and that its occupation is
only a question of time, and very brief
time.

shown in a series of .dispatches.

dispatch is as follows;
Plata del Kstk, July 4.
Hon B. A- Alger, Secretary if War
Washington :.
Tke following is my demand for the
surrender of the city of Santiago:
-Headquarters of United States. Forces
Near San Juan River. Cuba, July S., 8:90
a. in. To the Commanding General of
the Spanish Forces, Santiago de Cuba
Sir: I shall be obliged, unless yon sm
render, to shell Santiago de Cuba. Please
t inform the citizens of foreign countries
and all women anct children that they
I should leave the city before 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant
Following is the reply of the Spanish
commander, which Colonel Dorrt received
at 6:90 p. iu.:
Santiago, July 8. His Excellency, tns
; .General Commanding the Forces of the
United States. San Juan River Sir: I
have the honor to reply to your communi
cation of today, written at 8:90 a. m. and
received at 1 p. m., demanding the sur
render of this city; on the contrary case
announcing to me that you will bombard
this city and that I advise the foreign
women and children that they mustlaave
the city before 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. It is my duty to s.y to you that this
city will not surrender und that I will in
form the foreign consuls and inhabitants
of the contents of your message. Very
respectfully,
Jose Toball, Commander-in-Chief.
The British. Portuguese, Chinese and
Norwegian consuls have come to my line
with Colonel Dorst. They ask If non
combatants can occupy the town of Caney
and railroad points and ask until 1C
o'clock of the 6th inst. before the city is
1 on. They claim that there aru be
tw i 15,000 and 20,000 peoples-many of
th . . old, who will leave. They ask if I.
ca . :pply them with food, which I can
no i for want af transportation to Ca
ne which is 15 miles from my landing.
Th j i illowing is my reply:
mmanding General, Spanish forces,
Santiago de Cuba Sir: In consideration
Oi. ..10 requestor the consuls and officers
your city Tor delay in carrying out my
intention to fire on the city, and in the in
terest of the poor women and children
who will suffer very greatly by their hasty
and enforced departure from tho 'city, I
have the honor to announce that I will
delay such action solely in. their interest
until noon of the 5th. providing during
the interval yonr forces make no demon
stration whatever upon those of our own.
I am, with great respect, your obedient
servant, W. R. Shatter,
Major General U. S. A.
Master or the Situation.
General Shatter's other dispatches
breathe the same air of confidence and
determination as shown in his demand
on the Spanish commander. The first
one made public during the day stated
that his lines completely surrounded
the town from the bay on the north to
San Juan river on the south, leaving
the city thus enveloped by a stretch of
water on one side and a stretch of
frowning American guns on the other.
In another dispatch Shafter epitomized
the strength of his situation by saying:
"I feel that I am master of the situa
tion and can hold the enemy for any
length of time."
In another General Shafter states that
his demand for the surrender of Santi
ago is still being considered by the
Spanish authorities, which indicates
that the refusal of the Spanish com
mander to capitulate was not final. In
any event 12 o'clock today marks the
limit of Shatter's concession, and if
Santiago has not capitulated at that
hour the great siege guns now brought
to the front and in position, backed by
the batteries of lighter field pieces, will
begin their work of destruction.
The changed naval situation will
bring no abatement in the activity of
the authorities hemm carrying the wajij tevottB tdao tbtit Admiral
directly home to . Spain. There is re
uewed determinatiojfc.to get Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron away at the
earliest moment, for the double purpose
of striking a blow at the coast towns of
Spain aud of pursuing Admiral Cania
ra's fleet, which has halted afrthe en
trance of the Suez canal, ffcretary
Long made the official statement that
the fleet would sail at the earliest pos
sible moment, and although he did not
go into details as to its purpose, it is
well understood that it will devote its
attention to the Spanish coast and to
Camara.
The destruction of the Spanish fleet
at Santiago relieves Admiral Sampson
from surveillance of this squadron and
he can readily spare the ships intended
for the attaek on the Spanish coast.
New Jloaorti For Sampaoa
It has been Acting Admiral Sampson
for some time, but that it will be Ad
miral Sampson in fact, as well as in
name, is the prevailing feeling in naval
circles as a result of the victory reported
by the American admiral. Shortly
after the war broke out Captain Samp
son was made actingadmiral in order to
give him a rank fitting Ids high com
mand, though his actual rank remained
as captain. By a singular coincidence
his rank was advanced yesterday to
that of commodore, owing to the retire
ment of Admiral Kirkland. In the
event of his now being made an admiral
it would advance him over the 10 com
modores making up the list of that
grade and would place him just below
that very famous hero of the war, Ad
miral Dewey. It is of course purely
conjectural thus far, but it is a conjec
ture which receives such common ac?
ceptancein naval quarters that it is
most likely to be realized.
The release of Hobson and the other
heroes of the Merrimac incident is
likely to be another result of the events
transpiring yesterday. It may now
come about either by the surrender of
the city which would include the sur
render of Hobson or other prisoners pH
else by the exchange of Hobson for
Admiral Cervera or other high ranking
naval officers. Until now the possibil
ity of exchanging Hobson was slight, as
this government had no Spanish prison
ers of high rank to offer in his place.
Now, however, they have one of the
foremost admirals of Spain, and among
the other 1,300 naval prisoners there
are many officers of distinguished
rank, .To exchange a Spanish admiral
for an American constructor might
seem strange under ordinary circum
stances, but would be done without any
begrudging by the authorities here aud
would be particularly appropriate in
the action of Cervera at the time Hob
son surrendered to him.
Tremtaaeat of Fereiga Attaches,
The dispatch from the front acting
that there was likely to be some criti
cism because of the treatmrntof for
eign military attaches excited much in
dignation among the military attaches
here. It was stated by one of the high
est officers in the service that the for
eign gentlemen had received absolutely
everything in the way of accommoda
tions, supplies, rations, etc., given to
our own officers and men. What was
most surprising was that the protest
should come at a moment when our
men were fighting in swamp and thicket
under a biasing sun, with a thousand
dead and wounded, and under the fire
of an entrenched enemy. There is every
disposition here to extend the rw$
complete courtesy to these gentle
men that is consistent with the circum
stances. There is no purpose, however,
to recognise them as a superior set or to
give them greater attention in Mounts,
tents, etc., than our own mm raceiT.
,f .afaavy Ems at OOecrs,
A remarkable feature of the fighting
in Cuba, and one much commentedupon
in military circles, is the heavy loss hi
killed and wounded 'of rnmnrisflaoncid
ad a-cmnmmsioned officers. In spite
of the eustrem which the lorn of so many
oltcers has omasioned, the army offi
cials point to the list as a splendid evi
dence of the dash and personal bravery
of the men who wear shoulder straps.
Among the killed and womnded ainos
the fight at Jurugua have bean officers
of .every grade from oolonel down and
ia numbers said to be almost unprece
dented in proportion to the force en
gaged. The loss of officers in the two
days' fighting around Santiago demon
strates to military men that the Amer
ican officers lead their men wherever
they are called upon to go, and are set
ting an example which cannot but ele
vate the esprit dn corpa.of the army.
Sketch of George H. Elite.
Washbcgtox, July 5 George H. El
lis, the only man in the United States
navy who was killed in the glorious en
gagement off Santiago yesterday, is
chief yeoman of 'Commodore Schley's
flagship Brooklyn, in which office he
succeeded Downing, the Spanish spy
captured by secret service officers in
Canada, and who ended his career by
suicide in Washington barracks while
awaiting trial. Ellis is a native Ameri
can, born at Peoria, IH., in 1871. His na
val career was very brief, he having en
listed on May 30, 1807, and his only
cruise being that which ended in his
death. His next of kin is his wife,

and 54 men to Manila. On June 29 the

fleet and troops on July 4.
In addition to the Spanish governor
of the Ladrones the Charleston brought
forty soldiers as prisoners of war to

The dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch
captured Jthe Spanish gunboat Leyte.
Admiral Dewey offered to parole the
crew, but they declined, because they
feared to be courtmartialed and shot.
