Jnly s. % a. m. J-At noon yesterday,
acting under Instructions from Wash
ington, Major General shatter, the COM
mander OF the American troops. sent a
letter 70 General Ltnares, in command
ot the Spanish forces defending San
tlSSp demanding the surrender Of the
city. The message was delivered by
Colonel DorBt. Three hours elapsed be-
fore the fiFlng could be stopped. General
Llnares responded promptly with an
absolute refusal to surrender.
General shafter at noon to-day re-
peated HIS demand for the surrender Of
the city and notified General Llnares
that unless Santiago surrendered hostfi-
lties would be resumed at noon on
Tuesday. Up to this evening General
LinaEeS has not replied 10 the second
request for the surrender OF the city.
Conferences with the consuls of the
foreign powers have been conducted
near General Wheeler's headquarters.
The consuls said there were $1,000 men,
women and children, foreign subjects
IN the city, and thev requested cessi-
tlon OF hostilities in order to enable
them to be removed outside Santiago,
ahd to be placed under the protection of
the United States. This was definitely
refused by the American commander,
who declined to accept any SUCH respon-
sibility.
The cousuls were told that 1t rested
with them 10 insist upon General LII
Mares surrender. The conference was
resumed at 8 o'clock this morning,
when the consuls expressed grave
doubts as TO General L!nares surren-

Americans add in this unequal combat
with Spain not only vastly superior ma
tertai resources but a deVislRg mind and
skilled organization without which
bravery Is nothing but means OF pro-
yldlng stun for the shambles."
The Daily Telegraph comments upon
the way in which the American COM
mnnders at Santiago, and probably at
Manila also, have fulfilled their predte-
tlons for the Fourth OF July. 1t says:
"The Americans rushed San Juan in n
manner displaying the immense Hlrility
Of American manhood. untitness upon
the part OF the American officers TO con-
duct military operations and unfiinching
personal bravery upon the part OF botn

ROBERT G. OWNS FOR MAYOR.

Hon. Robert G. Givins. who has often
been mentioned by the best citizens and
leading Republicans for Mayor. Is now
being more than seriously considered
as the right man to elect Mayor OF chi.
cago next spring.
Robert G. Givins. the Chicago real cs.
tate man. has recently returned from Il
trip around the world. during whicl he
had opportunities for observing the at.
titude Of foreigners. especially the Ger
mans. towards the United States IN the
present situation. The greater part of
Mr.. Givins' trip was taken on German
ships. and, while ut Hong Kong, he saw
number Of the German naval officers
who seemed to entertain no feeling Of
friendship for the United States.
"Therc were about fifteen Of these
officers" said Mr.. Givlns recently. "and
they were going home OH the ship with
us. They all thought that the United
States had no business whatever to 20
to war with Spain and that our chances
were pretty small for coming out ahead.
ut was on the way home. however.
that noticed the most aggressive par
tisanship. We came on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Ems by way Of Glib.
rnltnr. The captain Of the vessel was
most violent In his remarks about his
country. Most Of the officers Joined
with him. The United States. they
said. had no right TO Interfere. and they
hoped We would get badly licked. and
furthermore they were confident that
we would.
~ don't think that the captain meant
TO he absolutely insulting. He merely
gave his Views without tact or re-.
straint. His remarks sounded pretty
rough sometimes, especially to the
women, who showed a common impulse
to take oiYense at his attitude. He was
thoroughly boycOtted by the women for
most Of the voyage.
AT one time another man and myself
were drawing pictures on a big sail to
amuse the passengers. We sketched a
spirited representation Of a naval battle
between American and Spanish ships
with the latter nll on their way to the
bottom. Suddenly the captain appear
al and was filed with wrath. lie or.
dered his men to wash on the picture
Instantly.
"when we reached New York we
heard from the pilot Of Dcwey's vic.
tory. and there were no further com.
ments OF any kind from our German
friends"
