BATTLE RESUMED Preliminary Firing Be fore the City of Santiago. TORAL WOULD NOT YIELD Spaniard! Opened With Light OanaJ Bat Were Silenced America Lines Have Beea Strengthened and Siege Ouni Brought to the Front. ( Washington. July 13. The bom bardment of Santiago baa begnn. That was the verbal information obtained last evening, shortly before 0 o'clock, at the war department. Almost im mediately three bulletins were posted, the most important of which was from General )Shafter. This dispatch an nounced that General Toral, who boo seeded General Linares In oommand of the Spanish forces in Santiago, when the latter was wounded, had declined tc surrender, and that the bombard ment of tbe town would be begun by the army and navy about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The faot that the bom barment was scheduled to begin bo late in tbe day created some comment, but no explanation of it was offered. In answer to questions bearing upon the movemnt, General Corbin said: "1 have not the slightest'informatlon as to the reason General Shatter had for beginning the bombardment at the hour he named, but it was probably because he was ready just at that time. Vou can speculate about that as well as 1 can.'' Information received by the war de partment during the few days of truce indicates that Shaftei has materially strengthened his position. During the past week he has received reinforce ments of both artillery and Infantry. Randolph's battery of 34 guns, which left Key West last Tuesday at mid night, is now in operation before San tiago, and, as a wa: depaitment official expressed it, "when these long'tomsof Randolph's begin talking, something will happen in Santiago." General Shatter has nearly SO siege guns and a large number of 6-inch mortars, besides light aitillery at his disposal. These KUiis, taken in connection with the woik that will be done by the fleet, will, it is expected, carry terror and destruc tion to Santiago. Anxiety has been expressed by the war department officials as to whether General Shatter had a sufficient force to prevent the evacuation of Santiago by the enemy. This anxiety was allayed about 13:30 lust night by the m-eipt of the following dispatch from General Shatter, which contained con firmation, too, of the earlier reports of the beginning of the bombardment: "Playa del Este,' July 13. To Adjutant-Genera), Washington: Head quarters of Fifth Corps, July 13. The enemy opened fire a few minutes past 4 with light guns, which were soon silenced by ours. There was very lit tle musketry firing, and the enemy was kept entirely in the entrenchments. Three men were slightly wounded. I will have considerable force tomorrow, enough to completely block all the roads on the northwest. 1 am quite well "SHAFTER." The belief is held by tbe best-in-formed officers that General Toral, the Spanish commander, will surrender when he finds it will be impossible for hlra to evacutate therclty. Upon what grounds this belief is based could not be ascertained, but that information is in the hands of the officials, there is no doubt. General Shatter's dispatch, they say, shows he is now engaged in strengthening his position, and that he will follow up his operations with a final assault on the city. Offer to Surrender Santiago. Off Jurngua, via Kingston, Jamaloa, July 13. The surrender of Santiago was formally offered by the Spanish commander, General Toral, today, but the conditions (rttached caused a prompt refusal of the offer by Goneial Shaffer. The negotiations, however, rosultec In the extension of the armistice. General Toral'a proposal contemplat ed the immediate surrender of tbe city, but he insisted that his army be per mitted to march awaj under arms and with flying colors, and declared that he would fight to the last ditch unless the conditions were acoepted. General Shafterj-eplled that nothing but un conditional surrender would be con sidered by him, but he consonteM W oahlo the Spanish offor to Washington, in the meantime extending the armis tice. Theater Burned in Allegheny. Pittsburg, July 13. Fire tonight, which started in the World theater on Federal stroet, Allegheny, destroyed that building and the entire section fronting on the lower side of Federal stroet, from the Sixth-street bridge to tbe Boyle block, and in the rear almost to Baltimore. The loss will not exceed f 175,000, as many of the buildings wore small frame structures. The iri enrauce will reach two-thirds of the loss. Freight Care Left the Track. Dnnsmnti, Cal., July 13. Train No. 18, consisting of 80 cats, drawn by two engines, was wrecked this morning at tunnel 4, near Elmoie, four cars In the middle of the train loaving the rails and tearing up about 150 feet of rood bed, demolishing the car tracks, but leaving the oars and content intact.

The Kasaigt left Delaware breakwater at 10:80 Sat urday morning, and made an averago of 18 knots until midnight, when she ran into a dense fog, which oompelled her to slow down. The cruiser behaved splendidly. . About 8,600 Dunkards from Vir ginia, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois have removed to North Dakota. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. The New Crop Will Have a Tenlene to strengthen Value. (Reported by Powning, Hopkins A Co., Inc., BiwrJ of Trade Broker, 711 to 714 Chamber ol touimin-e Duuauig, rortiana, Oregon J This week's information in regard to the evidenoe of yield of winter wheat are confirmatory of the previous iudloa- tions of disappointing results, although no special new developments have been added. The spring wheat crop in the Northwest is not particularly changed in general promise in comparison with the situation a week ago. There ap pears to be some tendency in the winter wheat regions, where serious disap pointment in yield have arisen, to take a too gloomy view of conditions. Tbe fact is the crop never justified the extravagant estimates which weie freely promulgated a few weeks ago. In the Chicago wheat market the sit uation of prices for new crop deliveries does not vary much in comparison with a week ago. The recent em bar rassment to the trade from conditions incident to manipulation are olearing away. The new crop will be in urgont demand, and sellers apparently will be tardy in offering on tbe basis of current values, so theie Is increasing ground for the belief that chances for a strength ening tendency of values as a prevailing condition in the early part of the crop year, whatever may happou later. Tbe record of the most remarkable year in our export trade has just been oomploted by the bureau of statistics, so lar as relates to the exportation of wneat, corn ana other breadstufls, pork, beef and other provisions, cotton and mineral outputs. These artialos form a large percentage of the total exports, aside from manufactures, The figures show in most oases a large increase In quantity and value of the articles exported. In wheat, corn, oats and rye the increaso in both quantities and values was strongly marked. The exportation of wheat for the year (including Hour as wheat), amouted to 315,571,961 bushels, which exceeded the importation of any preceding year, except mat 01 ibuz. Portland Market.

CAPTAIN CLARK'S REPORT. the Oregon Responsible for the Defeat of Cervera. Off Guantanamo, via Kingston, July 13. Vaptain Clark, of the battle-shi Oregon, which did such remarkable work at tho naval battle that resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cor evera's squadron, says in his official re port of the engagement to Rear Admiral Sampson: The Spanish fleet turned to the westward and opened fire, to whicl our ships replied vigorously. For shoit time there was an almost contin nal flight of projectiles over the ship, but where our line was fairly engaged the enemy's fire became defective. As soon as it was evident that the enemv' ships were trying to break through and escape to tbe westward, we went ahoad at full speed, with the determination of carrying out to the utmost your in structions: If the enemy tries to escarte the snips yon must olose and engage him as soon as possible, and endeavor to sink his vessels or force them to run ashore. ' We soon passed all of our vegsola except the Brooklyn. At first we used only the mam battery, but when it was discovered that the enemy's tor pedo-boats were following the ships. we used our rapid-fire guns, as well as the six-inch guns, upon them, with telling effect. As we ranged np near the storn most of their ships, she headed for the beach, evidently on fire. We raked her as we passed, rushing on for the next ahead, using our starboard gun as they were brought to bear, and be. fore we had her fairly abeam, she, too, was making for the beach. The two remaining vessels were now Borne dis tance ahead, but out speed had in oreased to 16 knots, and the Vizcaya was soon Bent to the shore in flames, Only the Cristobal Colon was left. and for a time it seemed as If aha might escape. But when we opened with our forward turret guns, and the Brooklyn followed the Colon began to edge in toward the coast, and her de struction was assured. Aa she struck the beach her flag went down. The Brooklyn sent a boat to her. and when tho admiral caught up with the New York, Texas and Vixen, the Cilstobal Colon was taken possession oi. "I cannot speak In too high terms of the bearing and conduct of all on boird this ship. When they found the Ore gon had rushed to the front, and was hurrying to a succession of conflicts with the enemy's vessels, if thev could be bove to and would engage, the en thuslasm was intense. As these Span ieh vessels were much more heavily armored than the Brooklyn, they might have ooncontrated their tire upon and overpowered her. Consequently, I am persuaded that but for tho officers and men of the Or egon, who steamed and steered the ship and lougtit and supplied her batteries, the Colon and perhaps the Vizcaya wouiu nave escaped." FOR SAFE KEEPING. Prisoners of War Ilenoh Portsmoiith- CvfTera Among the Lot. Portsmouth, N. II., July 13. The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 746 Spanish prisonous, including 54 offi cers, arrived In Portsmouth harbor at 8:80 o'clock this morning, and a few minutes later dropped anchor Just above Fishing Island. The big liner left Guantanamo at 6 o'clock Tuesday. July 5, and did not make a Btop until she dropped anchor In Portsmouth harbor. Inoluding the prisoners, there were 1,086 people on board the boat. and out of this number there are 91 sick and wounded Spaniards under the care of surgeons. " Admiral Cervera Is confined to his cabin, having been quite ill for the past three days, although he was able to be dressed this morning. Captain I-nlate, who was commander of the Vizcaya, and is among the pris oners, Is also quite ill, having been wounded In the head durinur the battla off Santiago. DOWN FROM YUKON.
