The most interesting feature of the bombardment 1s the prospoot it affords of an attempt by Admiral Sampson to take some of his Alps into Santiago harbor in spite of the shore batteries and submarine mines. That Sampson will make the attempt if the bombardment from a distance is not successful is the general understanding in naval and military circles, Ho has been anxlous to force the entrance, and naval oiaicors believe that it may be done without great loss of life if a quick dash 4a made. TORAL'S O1 FERL TO SURRENDER. 'Would Give Up if Ito Could Alarch His Troops Out-chafterDeclined. On board the Associated Press boat 'Wanda, off Juragua, Saturday, July 9, '7 p.m., via Port Antonio, Sunday, July 10, 9 a.m., and Kingston, Jamaica, 10.40 aa.m.--The surrender of Santiago was formally offered by the Spanish com- mander, General Torn], to•day, but the conditions attached caused a prompt refusal of the offer by Gen. Shafter. Shortly before noon to -day, when a ]little group of Spanish officers, under a flag of truce, came out from under the yellow wall of the heseiged city and slowly made their way towards the Amerioan lines, a detail was sent to meet them and they were escorted to comfortable quarters, while the letter from Gen. Toral was oerried to Gen. Shafter's tont, two miles from the front. The letter was couched in the cold, courteous twins characteristic of Spanish communications, and was very brief. It bore the signature of Gen. Toral, who commands at Santiago since Gen. Linares was wounded, and stated that he was prepared to surrender the city, provided his army be pormftted to capitu- late "with honor." This, ho explained, meant that the Spanish forces should be unmolested and go in any direction they wished with mins and flying colors. The letter concluded with rho bold statement that surrender ureter any other tonus was an impossibility and would not be considored. General Shatter immediately cabled the facts to Washington and sunt to Gen. Toral a refusal of his proposal, but adctod that he would communicate with his Government ante would extend the informal armistice until Sunday at noon. xalore U. S. Troops Arrive. The second fleet of transports arrived off Juragua this morning bearing 2,500 troops, including a ,targe detachment of artillery. Spaniards Intend to Die Hard. Siboney.

Eulate of the Vizcaya is also quite i11 from his wound in the head. Health Officer Towle went on board and visited the sick, finding that most of the sickness was duo to wounds received in the battle. Ho says there Is no evidence of yellow fever or contagious disease. A11 of the Spanish commissioned officers have been on parole and bad the freedom of the ship with one exception, and he was the Governor of Santiago de Cuba, who was trying to escape from the city on Admiral Cervera's flagship when she was destroyed on that memor- able morning of July 8. He refused to sign tbe parole papers and was conse- quently confined in one of the cabins under guard. The remainder of the prisoners were confined between decks and closely guarded. .Admiral Cervera retrained in his cabin on the starboard side during the trip. Health Officer Towle visited him and was warmly greeted. He shook hands with the health oilicer, and in good Eng- lish said be was situated very pleasantly on the boat and bad received nothing but the kindest and most considerate treatment from both officers and men ever since be had been taken prisoner.. He presents the appearance of a broken. hearted man, and keenly fools the loss of his fleet, containing the pink of the Spanish navy. Cervera Interviewed. Portsmouth. N.

'With great calm- ness therefore and quiet confidence we nifty imagine bbn building this altar in the name of the Lord.

".And he put the wood in order and cut the bullock in pieces and laid bion on the es ootl and said, fill four barrels with water and pour it on the burnt amines and on the wood." This would entirely destroy any possibility of deception as to the source of the fire that was expected. The woad is suggestive of the cross and the bullock of the burnt offering of Lev. 1 and of Him who is the only true offering, the autotype of all sacrifice, with the tak- Ing of whose life bunion hands had really naught to do except as God permitted. 34, iia', "And the water ran round about the altar, and be filled tbotrenoh also with water." The second and third time was tho seer/flee and altar deluged with water, until even the trench was filled. How amazed the prophets of I3aal must have been to see such strange preparations) Did you over try to kindle a fire with wot woody If not, you can hardly appreciate this eituation. It is onlywhen things are, buniauly speaking, impossible that God revile' Inas opportunity to show himself. When ;closes thought that the deliverance of Israel from the .rand of Pbaraoh was a hopeless task, then God said, "Now shalt thou lee what I will do" (Ex. vi, 1). N. "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and of Israel, let it be known this day that Thou art God in Israel and that I am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy word." having made all these preparations and the time of tbe evening sacrifice having come, the servant of the Lord calmly looks up to heaven and talks confidently with iris God. He says that he has done everything as God bad told him. So the arraugement about the water was no thought of Elijah's, but a command of God. Now he asks that God will accept and seal it all as His, that His great name may be known. It is only when wo are walking with Him, self sub- dued and fully agreed with Him about ev- erything, that we can expect to see His name magnified. 37. "Hear me, 0 Lord, bear me, that this people may know that Tbou art the Lord God and that Thou bast turned their heart back again." All has been done that the people may know that Jehovah is rho true God. This was the great aim of all God's dealings with Israel, that all people of the earth might know tbe band of the Lord (Joshua iv, 24).• Can we say that, as far as we know, we are living day by day simply that the hand of God may be seen upon us to His glory? Is it out one aim that, regardless of what it may Dost us or of bow or where lie may lead us, we want above all things the lifo of Jesus ]Rade manifest in us? (II Cor. iv, 11.) 3e.. "Then th:• a:, t:a Ile, Lord fell and consumed tbo bt,r.;e zee :tee, and t5 wooal, and the stcim , tied the dust, anti licl:e,I up the water that was in the trench." Was there ever fire like that: Ah, Lind God, there is nothing too bars: for Theca Water and even stones are Er easily consumed by Thy fire as wood cr flesh. IHow quickly the answer caste, and On Eli jab's port these was no striving or wrestling, but a calm and holy conndonce. Thus rhe tiro came at the dedication of tho tabernacle and of the temple and on other eocasions (Ler. ix, 84; II Chran. vii, 1; Judge vi, 21; I Cbron. xxi, 86). And I doubt not but that Abel's sacrifice was ao- cepta'd by the sword of flame touching and consuming it. ' 39.

Now York, July 11.-A London special to the Sun says: "Most of the European Governments havo bean coniisiently advised that the Pope's health is now so serious that a fatal termination may come at any rnoinent. This, .despite the fact that His holiness continuos to transact business and receive important visitors. His recent trouble has been weakness of the heart and poor oixoula- tion. It is now complicated by peculiarly obstinate intestinal catarrh, whioh is extremely difficult to deal with. "The Pope's physician, Dr. Capon., has thought it advisable to call the assist- ance of the famous doctor, Marchiffava, and two other experts, who have unanim- ously warned the Pontiff that he must implicitly follow their directions if he wants to live to see peace between the United States and Spain.. As that happens to be the Pope's most ardent wish the warning has bad some effect. "The 'Pope's latest move in behalf of peace was made at the beginning of the week, when be instructed' the papal nuncio at Madrid to urge pertain fiery Spanish prelates to refrain from ativocab-, ing the continuance of war."
