SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.
GUANTANAMO, WITH SEVEN THOUSAND
SPANISH TROOPS, sURRENDERS.
ter Releases Forty Cubans that were in
Prison without a Charge Against them
An Interesting Dispatch.

Everything at Santiago is peaceful.
The 1000 Spanish soldiers at Guanta-
namo laid down their arms Monday.
The $3.50 from Palma Soritana, San
Luis and Longo surrendered Sunday
to Lieut.. Miley, and pack trains with
provisions were sent them.
The only other Spanish soldiers, in
cluded in the capitulation, are 1000
troops at Baracoa and 1000 at Sagua.
They shave not yet been turned over,
but they are nowhere in Gen. Garcia's
vicinity. He is at Jiguaney aud reach
ed there without encountering any
Spaniards.
Gen. Shafter authorizes an absolute
contradiction Of the report that Gen.
Garcia encountered force of Span
iards who were returning to Santiago
to surrender, and was defeated by
them.
Col. Ezra R. Ewers, of the Ninth
Infantry, acting for Gen. Shafter, re-
ceived the formal surrender of Guam
anamo.
Gen. Shafter released forty Cubans
Sunday who had been confined in the
local Jail on political charges; indeed
some of them were confined without
charges of any character, others on
the most trivial pretexts and others
because of sympathy with the iusur-
gents cause. The jail is etill filled
with many whose crimes and sentences
are not on record and are absolutely
unknown SO far as has yet been as
certained. A general investigation
has been ordeced Immediately.
American newspapers which have
arrived in Santiago contain articles
written apparently under misappre.
hension of the facts regarding the con
duct of the campaign and the dictation
of the terms of surrender. Gen.
Miles was there simply as visitor
and adviser.
In his official capacity he had moth
ing to do with the terms of the capitu-
lation, the entire credit for which be-
longs to Gen. Shafter, who, on July
10, received tie following dispatch
from Washington Of that date:
"Gen. Shafter, Siboney:-The sec
rotary of war directs me to inform you
that Gen. Miles left here at 10:40 last
night for Santiago, but with instruc
tions which do not in any manner su.
percede you as the commander of the
United States troops in the field neal
Santiago, SO long as you are able fol
duty.

INITIAL STEP TAKEN THROUGH THE
FRENCH AMBASSADOR.

Request to Cease Hostilities-.-The Sub
ject Will be Referred to the Cabinet by
President Mckinley.

lie following official statement was

o'clock Tuesday evening:
The French ambassador on behalf
of the Spanish government, by the di-
rection of the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs presented to the Presi-
dent this afternoon a message from the
Spanish government, looking to ter
mination of the war and the settlement
of terms OF peace.
Secretaries Day, Alger and Long are
now in conference with tie President
as q sequence to Ambassador Gam
bion's call. Spain's communication is
general in terms, it does not make
any distinct proposition as to Cuba or
the Philippines, Or any other posses
sion, but simply requests that nego-
tiations may be opened. No armistice
is proposed. After Gambion Cambon
had submitted the proposal, general
talk followed between him and the
president, Secretary Day and NJ.
Thiebaut. The president reserved
his answer, an understanding being
reached that he would Immediately
lay the subject before the cabinet,
then invite Cambon to another confer
ence at the white house when a final
answer would be given of the willing
ness of this government to open nego-
tiations. It is stated the method like
ly to be adopted to conduct negotia-
tons will be to have Porter, the
American ambassador at Paris, and
Senior Castillo, the Spanish ambassa-
dor at Paris, carry forward the nego-
tiations, from the point arrived at by
the president and Cambon.

lie gave n banquet to General Grant
and his wife. Many officers who
were from the army OF the Tennessee
were present, az well as several
promine MT citizens.
During the dinner the guests were
somewhat startled TO see Saratoga
belle advance, with n gracious Gre!
clan bend, and ask permission of the
general to kiss him. There was only
one there who received the generals
salute. To that high person he now
deferred. Turning, he said, with
MrS. urnntS PERMISSION,
Mrs. Grant had, as every one OBJ
served q dropping lid. She was
obliged, therefore, to throw back her
head to get good look at the au-
daclous supplicant, who now had not
only the eyes of all the distinguished
company on her, but those of the
other guests OF the hotel as well.
After an embarrassing pause, In
which Mrs, Grant Ind time to con-
stder the offensive charge on her de-
fenseless spouse and fortify herself
against the fair enemy, she came to
his relief and declined to capitulate.
Nothing daunted, however, and TO
prove Ito those present that the
American girl has nerve as well as
m6ttle, the fair heroine seized the
generals hand aud said:
"Well, as you will not kiss me, ]
will shake your hand" and retired

situation In the state and finds that
the Republicans cannot possibly win
this year unless they do so as n re-
suit OF the stay-at-home votes which
would go to the Popullst state ticket.
The only why to insure absolute VIC
tory for Governor Leedy and his as
soclates, Is TO see to 1t that every
Populist, Democrat and Silver Re-
publican goes to the polls this year.
fio desires that every Popullst In the
state shall make II n business to see
every one OF Chis neighborS on the day
before election and get a personal
pledge that they will go to the polls.
Jie also urges that In addition to this
that they see to 1t THAT hey get there,
II ii ds necessary to hitch mp and take
them. In This connection IL will be
OF interest to know that one single
stay+at-home voter IN each schaci
dlsbricn means q loss OF 5000 votes
to the state ticket, One stay-at-home
voter In each voting precint will cost
the present PopuliSt administration
2,1OO votes. Tn view of the record
which Governor Leedy and his asso-
ciates have made, there should not be
n single voter in The state who Is
likely TO vote for The state ticket,
who will be permitted to stay away
from the polls.
The reform voters of the state
should remember that ID is as i'm
portant that the Republicans should
mot get the legislature this year and
that they should not elect their n,oml-
NEE for associate justice OF the SUI
preme court Without these THE
state officers, as well as the COVER
nor, are practically powerless. The
legislation enacted at the last ses-
sion, by Populist votes Is now adj
mitted, by all parties, TO have been
beneficial to the great common peo-
pie. III would certainly he n great
mistake for the people OF the state to
elect legislature which would not
continue this good work and matcrl-
ally extend It, Another Populst leg
islature would be I'm position to do
great deal more good than the last
one did Notwithstanding that the
saving Ito the people by the passage
OF the stock yards, ihe school book
and the fee and salary laws amounts
to hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
Every voter who stops to consider the
matter knows that there Is still room
for great deal OF legislation which
will save money to the people and
to the tax payer, and also that his
tory shows That II relief from such
burdens is desired Tint II must come
through Populist Legislators.
In spite CT all Of the attacks which
Republican speakers and newspapers
have made ON McNall, hundreds OF

Some OF these men really do not

STILL ANOTHER coURT-MARTIAL.
Probability of a Cavalry Ohicer's
Conduct Being injured Into.

Investigations and inquiries seem now
to be the order of the day, and II reports
be true, military circles, especially the
cavalry branch, will probably be shaken
no i'm q short while by a court-martial,
which has been asked for by number
of those who wear yellow trimmings on
their uniforms.
1t leaked out yesterday that certain
members of one of the cavalry organiza-
tions of the state had addressed letter
10 the Governor, preferring charges
against one of their officers, and that the
letter had been officially taken cogni-
zance Of. The letter, according TO gen.
tleman who had seen IL, makes broad
charges, and gives the specifications IN
detail including the dates and places OF
the committal OF the alleged offences.
The letter reached the Acknowledgement
several days ago, it is understood, but It
not having come TO him through official
channels, he forwarded 1t to Brigadier-
General Phillips, who Will in turn for
ward it 10 the officer i'm question. who
will be expected to return it with his en-
dorsement.
