THE OUTLYING GARRISoNS.
Some of Them Not Yet Aware that They Have Been Surrendered by Their
 Commander.

GUANTANAMO BAY, July The problem of notifying the spanish troops of the Fourth army corps out side of those which composed the gar rison of Santiago de Cuba, of the sur render of Gen. Toral's forces, is likely to cause some trouble. The Spaniards at Guantanamo are evidently iystiIlignorant of the surrender, and the Gubans under Gen. Perez have daily skirmishes with the defenders of the town, who are ap- parently trying to break through the lines and join the Spanish forces at Santiago de Cuba.
 Gen. Miles, who arrived here on the Yale this afternoon, says that Gen. Toral will send officers to the different garrisons in the province notifying them of the surrender. The Spaniards in Guantanamo can be easily reached and they will be or dcred to come down the bay and sur render. Those inland, however, will be more difficult to communicate with, and it will probably be some time be fore all the spanish troops are notified.

PROSPECT OF PEACE REMOTE.
mt Her to Realize Her Im- potent Condition.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The possibil- ities of peace are as remote as ever. No move in that direction has been made by any of the foreign powers, ard despite the pitiful condition of Spain, her pride appears to restrain her from making any direct overtures. A cabinet official, in speaking of thi situation, said it was amazing that Spain seemed to lack all comprehen- sion of her deplorable condition. Her best fleets have been wiped out, her hold on the Philippines is practically at an end. and now she has approved Gen ToraIs surrender of 5000 square miles of Cuban soil And yet, he said, Spain seems to take no account of her misfortunes, and to adopt no means to limit the extent of her defeat and losses Under such circumstances, he said, the only thing left for this csun- try to do is te press on until Spain reaches some comprehension of her imDOtenee.

 Dr. Stoner, of the hospital, at pres ent has but four surgeons under him, and he has wired to Washington for additional doctors. When the extra surgeons arrive the necessary amputa- tions will be commenced.
 Many of the soldiers arrived almost naked. This was because of the heat about Santiago and the fact that they left their clothing on the transports.
