Il shall always oppose all negotiations
for peace which have not as their foun-
dation the acknowledgment of Spanish
sovereignty in Cuba. This sovereignty
has been universally recognized, and it
has been disputed by no one since the
discovery of the island"
What, in your opinion, are the
prospects of peace between the United
States and Snain on some amicable
basis?"7
Il have heard no one speak in favor
of peace General IIlanco replied with
great energy, with the country which,
in return for all it owes to the United
States, goes to the extreme point of
believing us to be intentional authors
of the explosion of the Maine and that
declares we are not capable of guaran-
teeing the safety of foreign vessels in
our harbors, and which, against reason
and without any other right than that
of mere strength, attempts to take
away from us territory that has be-
longed to Spain absolutely for 400
years and which forms an integral
part of the Spanish monarchy.
Il am only sorry" the general con-
tinued, that l am not young enough to
give my entire life and all my facul-
ties to fighting necessarily and with
out rest against that nation whose only
idea has been to DAMAGE and calum-
Mate my country, which 1 love de-
votedly."
General Blanco rose from his seat
as he pronounced these words of I'M
dying hatred for the United States. His
voice was stern and his energy was like
that of a young man he wished himself

Many of the American troops ex-
pressed disappointment that they had
not had an opportunity to take the city
by assault The latest reports showed
there were 2060 Americans killed,
wounded or missing in the fighting
about Santiago. This loss was much
greater than had been expected, and
the authorities in Washington, hoping
to avert the loss of life as much as pos
sible, instructed General Miles to take
any honorable steps to terminate the
siege without further fighting, provided
the city would be surrendered by the
Spanish. General Toral attempted to
get better terms for the SpaniardS, but
the American generals reminded him
that his position was hopeless and that
he must agree to give up the city at
once or prepare to resist an immediate
assault by an overwhelming force and
bombardment by the entire American
fleet. He was reminded that all Of Ad
miral SIMPSONS vessels were in po
sition to lombard and that gunners
were ready to fire the moment the sig
nal was given.
The Archbishop Of Santiago, I am
told. had much to do with bringing
about the surrender of the city. He
had persistently objected to deferring
the surrender until sickness might dec
innate our army.
General Miles, General Shafter, Ad-
miral Sampson and all of the high Off
GERS in both the American army and
navy feel great relief now that the
campaign practically has ended. Ow-
ing to the marked increase of sickness
and the impossibility of transporting
an adequate supply of food over the
roads now made worse by the heavy
rains of the last few days, American
officers welcome the new OPPORTUNITIES
which Santiago's surrender presents.
General Miles, 1 learn tonight, will
leave for Guantanamo in the morning
on the Yale. He is likely to go to Porto
Rico at once, study the coast and find
a suitable landing place for troops.
This done General Miles Will be free
to complete his plans for invasion
while the troops are being transported.
1t is the plan to have the American
troops now in this vicinity leave as
soon as possible. Twenty-seven regi-
ments, it has been decided, shall go to
Porto Rico at once. Only force suf
ficiently large to hold Santiago will be
left here.
A hospital capable of accommodate
the hills near Santiago Immediately.
Despite the great mortality and suffer-
ing in the city, it is believed that the
American troops for Porto Rico can be
placed on board the transports in San
tiago harbor. The work Of removing
the mines from the harbor will be-
gin at once 1t is feared the Spaniards
will resort to lawlessness and will at
tempt to pillage the citv before leaving.
In that event General Shafter will send
a sufficient force into the city to restore
order
General Miles and the members Of his
staff have refused to talk with per-
sons from Siboney who have not been
fumigated, SO bad are the sanitary con-
ditionS there.
At the front matters are becoming
more threatening all the time. the
heavy rains having exposed the bodies
buried in the shallow graves and pol
luted the streams.

HURRY ORDERS
No Time Is Wasted at
Honolulu.
LUNCH OF TROOPS CUT SHORT
NEWPORT GOES AHEAD OF HER
CONSORTS.
LUNCH OF TROOPS CUT SHORT
Other Vessels of the Fleet Compelled
to Return Until a Leaky Boiler
of the Indiana Is
Repaired.

HONOLULU, July S.-Both the Va
lencia and the Newport reached here
early yesterday morning from San
Francisco. The Valencia arrived first,
followed closely by the Newport. There
was a slight accident to the machinery
of the latter on the way down, as a
result of which she was hove to for
seven hours. AS soon as she arrived it
was given out that she would coal as
fast as possible and hurry on to Manila,
without regard to the other vessels Of
the expedition in port.
The men on both vessels were allowed
shore leave and were marched to the
executive building, where they were
furnished a lunch by the people Of
Honolulu. While they were eating Or
ders were issued by General Merritt
for all the men to be on board re-
spective ships at o'clock and each
ship was ordered to get under way as
soon as possible for Manila The City
of Para and tie Ohio were ordered to
anchor outside as soon as possible and
to sail as soon as it was known that all
the men were on board. Coaling on the
Morgan City, Valencia and Indiana was
rushed as much as possible.
At $3.50 this morning the Indiana drew
anchor and moved outside the harbOr.
She was followed closely by the Ohio
and the Morgan City. At $50 the City
of Para moved outside and joined the
fleet. Just before noon the Valencia
and Newport, the latter with General
Merritt and staff on board, left the
harbor the signal to sail was given and
the vessels moved off.
All the troops were cheered on leav-
ing port. The regimentn bands on
board were playing and cheers were
given for Honolulu. The whistles of
the monitor Monadnock and island
steamers saluted as they passed by.
Before dark telephone message
from the lookout station conveyed the
information that five of the transports
were returning to port. When the YES
sells arrived off port several officers of
the Indiana, the flagship, came ashore
and reported that a boiler had sprung
a leak. The chief engineer said that
repairs could be effected in twelve
hours, so the fleet, with the eXpection
of the Newport, which went on ahead,
will make another start early to-mor-
row morning.
General Merritt made arrangements
to-day to have a military hospital in
this city. He secured the premises
known as Independence Park The
property will be altered and fitted up
at once. An army surgeon and a staff
OF stewards and hospital corps will ar
rive by the earliest steamer possible to

PRIZES BROUGHT IN BY
THE DIXIE AND UNCAS
They Were Flying the British Flag
and Laden With Provisions
for fhe Enemy

KEY WEST, July 15.-Three prizes were
brought in to-day. The captures were
effected with only ordinary incident. The
English built steamer Grenow Castle,
which for several years piled on the
Cuban coast under the Spanish flag, but
on June last returned to her British
register. was taken by the Dixie off Cape
Cruz last Thursday. She was bound from
Kingston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo with
a large cargo of food supplies. The crew
of the Grenow Castle consists Of Captain
Rust, six Spaniards and -four Jamaican
negroes.
The day before the capture the Dixie
took also two schooners-the Three Bells
and the Pilgrim-both flying British flags
and bound from Montego Bay to Man
zanillo with cargoes of food supplies. The
Three Bells was originally Nova Sco-
tan boat. She is of about 125 tons and
the Pilgrim of about twenty-five tons.
Lieutenant s. M. Blunt, with two sailors
and two marines, was put in charge to
bring the Three Bells to Key West, but
she has not yet arrived.
The British schooner e. p. Nickerson
was also among to-day's arrivals She
was becalmed off Cape Cruz on June &c.
when the Hornet came alongside and in
formed her commander that the vessel
was a prisoner. There was no attempt
at resistance. The Nickerson has a negro
captain, three seamen and cook. Two
so-called passengers, who turned out to
be agents for the cargo. were on board.
They are Avon Gouthard and Frank Ber-
ger, and they vehemently protested
against the capture, declaring that as
British subjects they could and would
claim indemnity from the United States.
The vessels cargo was food, including a
deckload of pigs, goats. chickens, flour,
pork, potatoes and the like. She was
bound from Jamaica for Manzanillo.
The American auxiliary gunboat Uncas
towed in to-day little Spanish sloop, the
Bella Yanez, taken off Cardenas. The
sloop had no cargo and when caught was
close in shore. Four of her crew of six
jumped overheard and got to land.
The gunboat Castine brought in to-day
three Spaniards who had deserted from a
Spanish gunboat in Havana harbor and
put off to the blockading fleet In small
boat
