Details Of Events in Cuba as
They Are Reported at
Havana.

TBy Gable, Copyright, 1898, by The Associated
Press.
HAVANA. July Is, 1856 Delayed in
transmission)- following are Spanish
versions of events which have recently
transDired in Cuba
'son Tuesday, July Il, the Americans
continued the attack on Santiago de Cuba
all day, but with less activity than the
day before, owing to the heavy rain fall
ing about the neighborhood, which flooded
some of the trenches. But the weather
did not prevent the brave Spanish soldiers
from remaining in their positions, full of
animation and resolution.
1T is reported that $4,000 additional
American troops, under General Cop
pinger. recently landed in the Province
of Santiago de Cuba. They came on
twenty-five transatlantic steamers, which
were lately seen before Baiquiri.
Before Santiago at the time there were
eight battleships and twenty-four auxil-
iary cargo ships; in front of Havana there
were eight warships, before Cardenas two
warships did blockade duty and there
were two men-of-war before Cienfuegos.
"A sailing vessel without a flag recently
fired on some fishermen of Batabano and
badly wounded four of them. The wound
ed men were taken to Batabano.
"Offcial reports received from Santiago
de Cuba on July 13, say the same state
of affairs prevailed then as on the day
previous 1t was reported that heavy
reinforcements of Americans, under Gen
eral Miles, were landed lately and have
been pushed to the front, which is said
to have Increased the activity of the be-
siegers and to have rendered the task of
the garrison more difficult.
But. the report continues, this has
only shown up in a better light the adj
niral conduct of the brave Spanish sol
diers. who in spite Of the heavy rains,
and the fact that they. are in water up
to their waists, are willing to defend their
positions to the very last

POLICEMAN RUN DOWN.
Joseph Delo Accused Of Vic
lating the City Driving
Ordinance.

Bicycle Patrolman George Murphy Of
the Oakland avenue station was run
down this afternoon by a wagon owned
by Thomas Chamberlain, of No. SO Wall
lace avenue, and driven by Joseph Delo,
of No. "A Wallace avenue. He was
thrown from his bicycle and narrowly
escaped being trodden under the hoofs OF
the horse.
His wheel was run over and completely
wrecked Delo and Chamberlain. who
was on the wagon at the time, were both
arrested.
The accident, it is alleged. was due to
the wilful violation by Delo of the city or
dirance concerning the turning of corners
By trucks and other vehicles.
The ordinance provides that all veich1es
in rounding street corner must take a
long turn. Patrolman Murphy was riding
down Willow Court this afternoon, after
returning from his dinner. AS he neared
Pavonia avenue he saw Chambelain's
wagon driven by Delo. coming down Pa
vopia avenue at a rapid gait.
Delo steered the horse so as to make
sharp turn into Willow Court instead Of
crossing the street before turning. Muir
ply saw that should the wagon make the
turn contemplated by Delo it would force'
him into the gutter and run him down.
He shouted to Delo to make the proper
turn and waved him off with his hand
Delo he alleges. instead of doing as he
was hidden and as the law requires. de-
liberately drove at the policeman. Before
Murphy could get out of the way the
wagon was upon him. He Immediately
arrested Chamberlain and Delo. The
smashed wheel was taken in the wagon
to the Oakland avenue station. Chamber
lain and Delo are charged with violating
a city ordinance.

SAN FRANCISCO, July IS, 1s9s.-Ad-
vices from Honolulu indicate that the
coast defence vessel Monterey will take
possession of the Caroline Islands before

bors of those islands. Captain Lentze
promised to return the charts when he

PLAYA DEL ESTE, PROVINCE OF
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. July 49, 1885,
delayed in transmission.)- 1.-THE Commits
sioners appointed by General shafter and
General Toral to arrange the details of
the surrender of the Spanish forces in
Eastern Cuba are still hard at work,
and probably their labors will not be
completed before tomorrow.
Though the understanding was that no
concessions were to be granted, with the
exception of allowing the officers to re-
tain their side-arms, the Spanish Com
missioners have been disputing and rails
ing many objections to the proposed ar
rangements. The Spanish officers wish to
have their men march out of the trenches
with their arms, which they also insist
are to be boxed up and shipped back to
Spain with the prisoners. This, of course,
has been refused.
There is also much argument over other
details of the surrender.
The total number Of Spanish troops in
volved in the surrender will, it IS said,
run close to 25.ooo Of which number about
1900 are behind the entrenchments Of
Santiago. The rest of the spaaish troops
are stationed at sagua de Tanamo, Guam
tanamo, Baracoa and. other seaports and
fortified cities.
The 25,oO0 Spanish troops include about
10000 regulars and 5000 volunteers.

or make it appear that he was van
quished. AS brave men, his soldiers de-
sired to go home with honor. They had
simply yielded to superior force and they
would prefer dying to going home with
out their honor.
Our Commissioners could not resist this
appeal, but they said it lay beyond the
terms laid down by our Government and
they could only recommend the matter
to Washington.
At four o'clock General Toral returned
to the city to consult with General
Linares. who had hitherto been erron-
eously reported dead
General ToraI and the Spanish Commits
sioners returned at $50, saying they de-
sired a still further change in the phrase
ology of the articles, and suggested
postponement of the negotiations until
morning. This General Wheeler firmly
declined. Thereupon recess was taken
until $50. The Commissioners returned
at that hour and the articles were again
gone over in detail. Various changes of
verbiage. which tended only to soften the
sound of the terms without affecting the
sense were proposed by the spaniards,
and our Commissioners accepted practi-
cally all of them.
Shortly after midnight. General Wheel
er suggested that the good faith of the
Spanish Commissioners be tested. All the
articles We're re-read, and each in turn
was asked if they were satisfactory.
When they replied in the affirmative,
General Wheeler asked them to aff1x their
signatures. This they appeared reluctant
to do; but, they could not well refuse.
When all had signed, the Commissioners
separated, to meet again at 1880 in the
morning.
The present municipal authorities are
to continue in control of the city until
the Spanish troops are embarked.
The Spanish troops from other points
are to be embarked at the nearest ports.
Refugees are to return TO their homes,
