DesDite their terrible loss the Ameri cans are steadily advancing-, and driv iner the Spaniards out of their en trenchments. Latest reports put .our loss at over 1000 men killed and wounded. Reports are conflicting adout Gen Pandos' movements. One dispatch says ne is retreating" ana anotner is that he has reached Santiago with 9000 men. A Madrid dispatch says Pando is closing in on the .Americans before Santiago. THE FIGHT GOES BRAVELY ON Washington, July 2. Our army before Santiago slept on their arms last night, and at daylight this morn. ine renewed the battle. I hey were met with stubborn resistance by the enemy. The fijjht was furious, and many a brave man fell before the ter rible Are of the Spaniards vrho are strongly entrenched behind earth works. The heavy guns of Cervera's fleet kept up a terrible fire and sent deadly miscles into the American ranks, mowing down the men like tenpins. The American loss in yesterday's battle was 500 killed and wounded, which coi.sidering the disadvantage of position was not as great as might have been expected. THE NEXT MANILLA EXPEDITION Will Probably Leave San Francisco July II. San Francisco, July 1. It is the general uoderstandiag among army officers her - that the next expedition to the Philinpines will get off about July 11. AUhough the transports have not all been chosen, the available v.-hh. l.s can be got ready for sailing witbout much delay. Rev Francis Brooks, a well-known Paulist missionary, sailed on the New port for Manila at tbe personal re quest of Major-General Merritt.

The horities here announce tbat here after i-trtct quarantine rules will be en forced, and all dispatch boats will be quarantined and examined the same as othr vessels.

Battery A. light artillary was mustered into ser vice last night,' and will be assigned to duty at Santiago. It is expected they will start for San Francisco next Tuesday, and will' go to Manila with the next expedition. . THE WHEAT OUTLOOK. Crops Will Be Heavier Than Ever Before Known. Portland, July 2 The concensus of opinion among the grain buyers of this city U tbat there . will be an enor mous yield of wheat in Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, the acreage being increased at least 25 per cent, and the outlook good for a full crop. In fact. as one of the shippers states, tbe same conditions Drevail practically In all the wheat raising states of the Union, with the exception of California. In the world at large, there Is no evidence of failure, but. the crop will . not be up to the average The only danger is that more wbaat may be produced than wiil supply the world's demands, thus demoritl7.iner th? market. On the other hand, if the price is a fair one an era of prosperity will be vouchsafed unnai-fLlolicd in the history of the Pacific Northwest. THE BIG SHIPS HAVE MET Washington, July Sampson has forced an Santiago harbor and 2. Admiral entrance into has -engaged two fleets are Cervera'e vessels. The fighting hard and the Americans are advancing. . General Shatter's army is gaining ground and is beating the Spaniards back. Latest reports put the Americau loss at 1000 killed and wounded. The Span ish loss is not known, but is believed to be very heavy. Bidding for Trade. Portland, July 5. he Astoria and Coast rn:';way is making a big bid for passenger traffic in competition with the regular boats. On Saturday at special sxeui-sion rates, it landed 400 passengers in Portland from Astoria and way points, and another large crowd on Sunday, besides giving i an excursion irom roruaoa to lob olace where the wrecked Gamecock and Staghound are anchored. The time over the route is four hours from Portland to Astoria, which will he shortened to three hours or less as the road bed is improved. The manage ment is certainly progressive and com petent. ' An Absconder Located. San Fkancisc, July 1. Claua Isak sens, who recently absconded with $70, 000 belonging to the Pacific Rolling Mill Company, has been located by detectives at St. Paul. He has been indicted by the grand jury, and to day Govenor Budd will be asked ot issue extradition papers for his return to iris citv.

He left th6 timber Hue at 5:15, went to Hood river, where he boarded the train, and was in the Telegram office at 11 :30, having cov ered the entire distance in 6 hours and 11 minute?. ntlBUTE TO AAiEILLCAjNS. An Englishman's Opinion of Tan ked Tourists. Our Good Dollars Are Very Welcome to European TradesmenA warning; Buxgesrloa to Those Who Basil Abroad. At last comes a bit of appreciation from a source whence it has long been vitiiheld. A young Englishman, who .as been doing the roui.ds.of tlio Amer ican cities, writes home iu praise ot us, md, belter tA'Al, an I.i.iri.sU weekly, the Gentlewoman, publishes it, as fol 'ows: "The Americans 1 tuiiiply love; ;hey are so wonderfully sympathetic to one. There is no trouble they will r.ot take, or peraonul inconvenience .hey will not suffer, if iu any way they can render one a service." The name of :his extraordinary young Englishman is not given or it should be blazoned forth. The weekly paper, in reproducing the extract, takes its cue from it, and urges Londoners and all Knglish folk to appreciate the "boundless kindness and hospitality which they (Amer icans) heup upon us," and be ready to "receive the strangers right royally" in return. It calls atttentiou further to the unprecedented influx of "men and women from ail parts of the United Statea" who are now crowding, and will for the next six weeks crowd, London, and then separate for wander ings all over Kngland, and makes a plea that they be well treated. There is a bit of policy in ita concluding ad vice, which every one who has suffered the extortionate impertinence of the liondon tradespeople an imperti nence none the less because it is often enveloped in fawning servility will say a hearty " amen" to: "In these bad times of depression in trade, it would be as much to our advantage as to theirs, not only to welcome, but retain, the . Americans in England as long as possible. Not all Americans are rich, though most are generous. We are sadly in need of their dollars, but need not be extortionate, for all that." : , One .is provoked and indignant to think of the thousands of dollars these f'crowds of Americans" will spend, not only in England but through Europe, before the autumn will send them borne again. I'rovoked because many of the thousands will go for 'things that will be bought under tbe impres sion that if they are the same price they are better than can be bought at home, while, if they are cheaper than the same goods here, it will still be sup posed that they are of the same quality. -A woman buying gloves in Paris last summer was surprised at the price charged her for the make of gloves she was accustomed to buy for con- . siderably less iu N'ew York. "Ah, madauje, said the glib shop girl, "but we send only our 'seconds to New York." Of course this was wholly uutrue, . It is absurd to sup-' pose that skilled American wholesale buyers are going to be imposed upon with seconds of anything, much less gloves, whose quality is a known quan tity every time to an expert in the trade. . - .... .,-", . The same woman's experience in Lon don was similar. Prices were always equal, and often greater, than in New York, but stress was invariably laid on the superior wearing qualities, a stress that was expensively disproved in the case of most articles. Tourists , from this country are looked upon abroad every time as geese to lay golden . eggs. They are geese to give their gold for the value they get, nine times out of ten. N. Y. Times. . - i WILL AWAIT REINFORCEMENTS Santiago Not to Be Bom barded at Present Washington,?- July 5. General Shatter did not 'oegin the bombard. meat ot Santiago at noon today but will watt for reinforcements before he renews the attack. Yesterday he de manded the surrender of the city at noon today, which the Spanish general declined, but general Shatter deems U impracticable to renew the assault until his army is reinforced by the troops now en route, hence the army has remained inactive all day. The American army now virtually surrounds the city, the line extending from the bay on thi north to San Juan river on the south. General Otis Making- Haste to Get Started. San Francisco, July 5. General Otis has received orders from Wash ington to exert . all possible haste in getting the fourth Manila expedition in readiness to sail. In obedience to the order, troops are being equipped as rapidly as pos sible at the Presidio, and are being placed in readiness to embark at once. The expedition will probably be ready to start by Thursday, and will com prise all the men now mobilized at San Francisco. SPANIARDS ARE CLEVER LIARS. The Minister of Marine Says Cervera . Escaped. LONDON,1 July 5. Madrid ad vises say the Spanish miuisterof the marine has published a long account of Cer- vera's escape fiom Santiago with bis entire fleet. Tbe renort is accepted by the Spaniards as the truth, and aids in quelling the opposition to the government's war policy. Affairs in Madrid have not im proved, and dissensions among the masses are great. When the truth of Cervera's surrender is made known to the public it is feared an uprising will occur. REPETITION OF MANILA. Sampson Knocked the Santiago Fleet Into a Cocked Hat. The following dispatch was received by the Times-Mountaineer at noon on the 4th and published in a special edition at 1 o'clock: Washington, - July 4. Admiral Sampson annihilated Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor yeste'day morning. At 9:30 the Spanish' vessels attempt ed to escape and were destroyed. The American loss was oue killed and two wounded. Admiral Cervera surrendered with 1300 sailors. TERRIBLE DISASTER. A Bridge Goes Down With OneThous- 1 and People. Shelby, Ohio, July 5.

Officials here claim the battle yesterday at Santiago, was a victory for tbe Spanish army. While their outposts were driven in, it is claimed the invading army was repulsed, and was forced to occupy nearly the same ground it did at the begining of the fight. f HE WttPINC- OF HORSES. Tared Animals . Unmistakable Anpe . uf for Hi ui Did you ever t:o a . cry? Many people believe tbut. li-r .c- not weep, but those who havo hud much to do with these faithful creatures know that on several occasions they will shed tears, as well as express sorrow, in the most heartrending manner. In the west, where the liarduiess of the ponies causes the riders to almost over Vook the necessity of providing for their needs, it is quite common when the weather ii extremely cold to leave an unhlanketed pony tie! for two or three hours when the temperature is nearly zero and while ita owner is transacting business. In this case, says the Practical Farmer, the suffering is evidenced by the cries, whioh are almost like sobs, and unmistakable tears freeze onto the checks like icicles. When a hor ;e falls in the street and gets injured the shock generally numbs his &eiises so much that it dees not either. cry or groan, hut under some conditions an injured horse will solicit syiapathy in the most distinct manner. I remem ber a favorite horse of my own which trod on a nail lono; enourrh to pierce its foot. The poor thing hobbled up to me on three legs and cried as nearly like a child in trouble as anything I can de scribe. The sight was a very touching one, as was also the crippled animal's gratitude when the nail was pulled out and the wound dressed. THE ORDER OF THE GARTER. Its Members Kea or Great Personal Dis tinction. Lord Melbourne used to say that . there was only one order in the world worth having, and that was the Gar ter, because there was no merit at tached to it at all, and tliat was what made it the first cr.icr iu Lurope. And therein Lord Melbourne showed his usual shrewdness. The distinction men love best is the distinction which, " instead of making a man distinguished. merely singles 1111a uul as u-ii-cuuy uc- needs to be given for distinguishing him further. The Garter practically aays: "Here is the man whom every one will agree to think distinguished. The Garter receives distinction from him, rather than gives distinction to him.' 1 And that is precisely the kind of tes timony which men covet most, aays the Spectator. What they de ire to think of themselves is that they do not need that any external reason ehculd be as signed for the honor in which they are held; that that honor is, indeed, in evitable, andisanaturalconbequcnceof .their being what they are. "Merit" is something earned by effort and labor. But what people love most is distinc tion which is quite independent of ef fort and labor, which is imbedded in their nature, like genius or manner or breeding. To be well bred is not at a man's own nommand.

Working Bonn in Germany The hours of the German laborer are very long, frequently exceeding fifteen hours a day, bnt there are certain regu lationajin factories that are rigidly car ried out in regard to women's work. All factories where women are em ployed are registered, and only eighty hours a year , overwork is allowed. Children under thirteen cannot work in factories, although the law is often evaded by making them work at home. Strange aa it seems, the state is more merciful to the children than the par ents; in some villages children three years old are kept busy threading needles. Thuringian watch-makers keep their children working from Sat jrday noon until Sunday morning at two. After two hours' sleep they must rork again until church time.
