Waddle pa ll,e COUNTY, OREGON, SANTIAGO GeQeral Shafter Begun tre Bom bardment of Santiago With Light Guns Yesterday. GF.N, TORAL REFUSED TO SURRENDER With Henry's Reinforcements Shafter Will Surround the Town and Completely Annihilate It. Washington, July 11. The bombardment of Santiago bas be gan. ' That was the verbal infor mation obtained ' last evening, shortly before 9 o'clock, at the war department. Almost immediately three bulletins were posted, tbe most important of which whs from General Shafter. iTbis; dispatch announced that General Toral, who succeed General Linares in command of the Spanish forces in Santiago, when the latter was wounded, had declined to surren der, aud that the bombardment of the town would be begun by the army and navy about i o'clock in the afternoon. The fact that the bombardment was scheduled to begin bo late in the day created some comment, but no explanation of it was offered. In answer to questions bearing upon the move ment, General Gorbm said: "I have not the slightest infor mation as to the reasons General Shafter had. for beginning tbe bombardment at tbe hour he named, but it was probably because be was ready just at that time. You can speculate about that as well as I can." Information received by the war department daring the few days of truce indicates tbat Shafter has materially strengthened his posi tion. Daring the past week he has received reinforcements of both Mrtillery and infantry. Randolph's battery of 24 guns, which left Key West last Tuesday at tniduight, is now in operation before Santiago, and, as a war department official expressed it, "when these long toois of Randolph's begin talking, something will happen iu Santi ago." General Shafter bag nearly 50 siege gout and a large number of 6-inch mortars, besides light artillery at bis disposal. These guns, taken in connection witb the work that wil! be done by tbe fleet, will, it is expected, carry terror and destruction to Santiago. Anxiety bas been expressed by tbe war department officials as to whether General Shafter had a sufficient f rce to prevent tbe eva cuation of Santiago by the enemy. This anxiety whs allajed about IiJ:.H)laHl merit by the receipt of tbe following dispatch from Gen. Shafter, which contained confir mation, too, of tbe earlier reuorts of tbe beginning of the bombard ment' "Playa del Ehte, July 10. To Adjutant-General, Washington: Headquarters of Fifth Corns, .Inlv 10. The enemy opened fire a few mioutes past i witb light guns, which were anon ailecceat by oars. There was very little musketry ring, ami inn enemy waa kept en tirely in tbe entrenchments. Three men were slightly wounded. I will have OunHidernble force to morrow, Pnouh to eomnletely block ail the roaiU on tho north west 1 am quite well. The belief is held by tho ImsU informed ollioeri that Gen. Toral, the Hpanish eommaiidnr, will sur render when ha finds it will be im ponaible for hi i to tvaeaahf the city. Unoo what trrounds this b. lief la baseifl could l.ot be) safer taioed, but that information is in the hands r.f the fliciala, there is bo doubt General Shaffer's dis patch, thsjr sat, shows ha ia how engaged in tingthting his poal. tioti, and that tomorrow hn will follow up his ertioii witb a final aaaault on the city. i b news of tlm bombardment cam at tharlonnof a buay Sunday In tna war department rreviiMis in tbn receipt of this diapatrh th "reUry f war hail beard tains from General Shafter.

When questioned as to whether he believed that there had been a bombardment of . the city, General Corbin replied: j "You know as much about it as X do; I have kept nothing back. I should say, however, that the firing was but the preliminary to tbe more serious business tomorrow." This being the case, the attempt to take the city will probably be made today. j Tbe war department posted these bulletin dispatches: , ! "Sibonet, Cuba, via Hayti, 5:55 p. m., July 10.
