BEFORE The SURRENDER
Negotiations Between General Toral and
/ Generals Miles and Shafter.
HobsOn Present

] Playa Del Este, July 15.-General
Bhafter on Monday did not again de-
mand the unconditional surrender
which General Toral had refused on
Sunday, but offered as an alternative
proposition to accept the capitulation
bf the enemysand to transport the
bpanish officers and troops to Spain.
khey to leave all their arms behind
Ind he to accept their parole. 1t was
this proposition which General Toral
heclined Tuesday.
On Wednesday it was decided to hold
! personal interview with General
Toral General Miles and his staff.
who had got no further than General
6hafter's headquarters, accompanied
by General Shafter and his staff, rode
but to the front shortly before s o'clock
under flag of truce. A request for a
personal interview with the Spanish
commander chief was made and ac-
ceded to, and at about 9 O'Clock Gen.
sral Miles, General Shafter, General
Wheeler, General Glmour, Colonel
Morse, Captain Wiley and Colonel
Maus rode up, passed over our en-.
trenchments and went down into tho
valley beyond. They were met by
General Toral and his chief of staff
under a spreading mango tree, at the
bottom of the valley, about half way
between the lines. The interview that
followed lasted almost an hour.
The situation was placed frankly be-
fore General Toral and he was offered
the alternative Of being sent home
with his garrison or leaving Santiago
province Tho only condition imposed
was that he should not destroy the
existing Notifications and should
leave his arms behind. This latter
condition the Spanish general. who
does not speak English. explained
through his interpreter was impossible,
He said the laws of Spain gave gen.
eral no discretion. He might abandon
a place when he found it untenable,
but he could not leave his arms behind
without subjecting himself to the pen
atty of being court martialed and shot.
His government, he said had granted
him permission to evacuate Santiago.
That was all. Further than that he
was powerless to go.
Without saying so in words, General
Miles said the tenor of General Toral's
remarks all betrayed his realization
that he would not hold out long. When
General Shafter explained that our re-
Inducements were coming up that he
was completely surrounded, and that
aew batteries we're being posted, Gen.
eral Toral simply shrugged his shoul-
ders. 81 am but a subordinate" said
he, "and I obey my government. If 1t
Is necessary we can die at our post"
General Miles, at the interview, did
not attempt to assume the direction Of
the negotiations, but as general of the
United States army, he vouched for
the conditions General Shafter offered.

Charleston, July 15.-General Wilson
has received orders not to embark the
troops under his command here for
Santiago. Much of the baggage of the
Second and Third Wisconsin regiments
had been loaded and all this had to
come off the ships. Yesterday after
noon General Wilson went out to Sum-
merville to inspect camping ground
there, but the water supply did not
suit him. The chances are that they
will be quartered in this city for some
time to come,

Washington. July 15.-The plan of the
war department for returning the sur
rendered army of General Toral to
Spain will not necesstate the use of
American vessels. 1t Is the purpose of
the department to ask for proposals
from all steamship companies which
desire to compete for transporting the
Spanish troops to Spain and the most
advantageous bid will be accepted. The
advices of General Shafter state that
the number of Spanish prisoners will
be between 1900 and 5000.

Donounces the German Wnrship Story.

Berlin, July 15.--The Cologne IeIlung
denounces the story of the German
warship Irene interference at SubiG
bay, Island of Lu2on, Philippines, as
a fabrication. That paper says the
Americans are unreasonaby excited
about the Irene incident. Even If 1t
occurred, as Admiral Dewey reports.
the Irene did not interfere, but retired
Immediately upon the arrival Of the
Americans. If the Irene did hinder
Aguinaldo's landing, it is no business
of Dewey's. If the American admiral
sees fit to make common cause with
the insurgent chiefs. 1t is none Of our
affair. GERMANY still preserves her
neutrality towards Spain. and does not
intend to recognize Aguinaldo and
his horde of beligerents.
