THERE is A HITCH.
Gen. Toral Asks That His Men BE
Allowed to Retain Their
Arms.
CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE HELD.
President Instructs Gen. Shafter That
Nothing But Unconditional Sur
render Is Satisfactory.
Can rorai Surrender That Part of HIS Com
mand Outside OF Santiago Without
4Dsfinite Instructions to That
Eject From Madridr
CONFERENCE At WHITE HOUSE HELD.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-After an ex'
tended conference with the president
Friday night at which three other
memb bers of the cabinet were present.
Secretary Alger said:
''The situation is just this: These
Spaniards at Santiago are prepared to
surrender, but they want to carry
their arms We have determined TO
grant no such concession nor any
concession except the generosity OF
this government to transport them to
Spain"
Secretary Alger was asked If it was
not the expectation that when it was
known that no other terms would be
granted the surrender would take
place, and replied that such was the
case. In any event no other ccnces-
sion would be afforded by this govern
ment.
1t was nearly I o'clock when the con-
ference at the white house adjourned.
Besides Secretary Alger there were
present Secretaries Bliss and Wilson
and Postmaster General Emery Smith,
Aejt. Gen. Corbin was present during
the last hour of the conference.
Gen. Shafter will be Immediately in.
structed to carry out the determine
ton of the president, with whom the
matter has been thoroughly discussed.
Secretary Alger did not say how much
time would be allowed the enemy to
reach a conclusion, but it is known
that the administration will make it
very short and submit to no further
parley with Gen. ToraL The next
move is surrender upon the terms
which the United States government
propose or immediate attack upon the
Spanish forces by the army and navy.
At 1913 o'clock Saturday morning,
when Adjt Gen. Corbin left the war
department for his home, he was yet
without definite information from Gen.
Shafter concerning the surrender oi
Santiago
The unusual delay, which has pug
zled the war officials. is accounted for
by the difficulty which Gen. Toral is
having in surrendering that part OF
the force under his command which
is not in the city OF Santiago
Gen. Shafter estimates that there
from $4,000 to $4,000 men in
Santiago and nearly as many
more in the province outside the city
1t is believed that the delay in the
negotiations is made necessary in Or
der to secure the surrender of the out
lying garrisons. some Of which may
question Toral's Authority to sur
rende. them without definite instruc
tions to that effect from Madrid.
A cabinet official expresses doubt Al
TO the sincerity Of Gen. Toral. ane
suggested that his negotiations fo'
peace were solely for the purpose o
delay to enable him to strengthen hi
position by reinforcements from othel
points in the Santiago district
"As diplomatists," this cabinet Off
Ger remarked, 1.-The Spaniards can bea
MS, and it looks little as if Gen. To
raj, realizing his inability to cope witt
Gen Shafter on the field of battle, ha'
resorted to trickery in the hope o
finding some escape from the official
position in which he is placed"

ONE EXAMPLE AT LAST.
Young C1t1sen Who Had no Money.

There was young man from New
York visiting in Cleveland some time
ago, says the Plain Dealer. He was
great talker on the theme of sociai
democracy and had all the writers GO

they said at his tongues end.
BAH" he said. '..the worst forms ID

Can you point ms out o single in-

queried the positive New Yorker.
They were at the opera house and the
Cleveland man looked over the audi.

"Yes," he answered. -Notice the
young man i'm the fourth row, end seat,

"Yes, see him."
well, that young man is one Of oul

The New Yorker looked aghast.

ADMIRAL cERvERA
And Officers Of His Fleet Are Now at
Annapolis.


Annapolis.
Annapolis, Nd, July 16.--Admiral
Ceryera, the recent commander OF the
Spanish squadron which was destroyed
off Santiago, and about forty Spanish
officers were brought to this city today
and are now prisoners of war within
the historic precincts of the United
States Naval Academy The auxiliary
cruiser St. Louis brought the foreign
visitors up Chesape AXE Bay this after
noon. Her black hull was sighted by
the tugs off Annapolis at 3 O'clock this
afternoon and Immediately a fleet Of
small craft that had been waiting far
outside the city since early morning
put on all steam and half hour later
were surrounding the great cruiser in
the hope of seeing the Spaniards. Soon
after she came to anchor the st. Louis
flew signals for the Government tug
Standish, which had been tied to the
wharf at Annapolis with her fires up
since 3 o'clock this morning. The tug
at once put to sea.
About o'clock she tied up to the
starboard side of the st. Louis, and for
nearly an hour there was transfer of
baggage and bundles between the two
vessels. Then three wounded Spanish
officers were swung down to the Stand
ish in litters.
Admiral Ceryera took corteous leave
of the officers Of the st. Louis and
marched down the gangway of the
ship with a stately tread. He wore a
black derby hat and the dark clothes of
| a. I'm of Il r,.;o Ia
brown overcoat. Immediately follow
| ing him were the recent Governor of
Santiago, also an old man in civilian
clothes; Captain Eulate, late of the
Vizcaya, and the rest Of the Spanish
officers. A few of them were dressed
in the Spanish uniform, but most OF
them were rugged out wholly or in part
in duck uniforms that had been fur
nished them by the American officers.
Chairs had been provided in the rear
of the tug for the accommodation of the
prisoners, and here they sat while the
tug steamed up to the old city of An
napolis. At the wharf Commander Ed
win White, with detachment of Unit.
ed States marines, was waiting their
coming. He received the Admiral ir
person and escorted him to the Super
intendent's carraige. Commander
w Wnlue, Aumlral CerVera ana mis- sol
then drove to the residence of Admiral
McNair, the superintendent of the
Naval Academy. A brief formal cal
was made there, at which courtesie.
were exchanged, and Admiral McNail
explained to the visitors the arrange
ments that had been made for thei
comfort. Admiral Cervera was ther
escorted to his quarter. a plain bricl
structure OF three stories, in what il
known as Buchanan row. The hous,
has been well furnished and is in al
particulars the same as the houses oc
cupied by naval officers on duty at tn,
Academy.
Soon after their arrival. which wa
at $50, dinner was served for the Ad
miral and his staff in their own quar-
ters. The other officers signed tn
parole and were conducted to quarter
in Stribling row, which is used by th
cadets in term time for dormltories
They spent the evening after dinner il
: strolling about the grounds.
