DID NOT TALK ABOUT PEACE.
German Minister and the Cabinet Ig-
nored the Question.

Washington. July 22.-The German
ambassador, DR.. Won Holleben, had a
half hours conversation with the pres
ident at the White House today. The
Associated Press can state positively
and auth~oritatively that the call had
no reference to the Philippines, to
peace negotiations or t. any matters
connected with the war.
The cabinet session today occupied
an hour and a half, and was devoted
almost exclusively to the Porto Rican
expedition and on the aggressive steps
in the campaign.
The immense chart OF the islands
was sent for during the session and its
lines carefully studied.
After the session it was specifically
and positively stated that there had
been no discussion whatever as to the
peace outlook, as to the new phase re
ated by the Cuban insurgents indie
pendent attitude, nor as to the action
Of Aguinaldo In the Philippines. Cen
eral Miles departure. however, was
made = matter Of congratulation, and
the steps to follow were thoroughly re.

SLAYER MAY YET DIE.
Soapy Smiths Bullet Caused Blood
Poisoning.

Juneau, Alaska, July II via Depart
ure Bay, B. c., July 22.-The town OF
Skaguay Is still under martial law and
ali saloons are closed. Twenty-six men
who have been bound over to the Unit
ed States commissioners have been
taken to Sitka. City Surveyor Reid,
who killed "Soapy" Smith recently, re-
ceived a bullet in the hand and may
die OF blood poisoning.
J. w. Tanner Of Juneau has been ap-
pointed deputy United States mar
shall at Skaguay in place of Taylor.
The latter is charged with neglect Of
official duty.
A number Of disappointed gold seek
ers have returned from the Copper
River country. Richard Shaw, a we'll
known young man Of means. of Roch-
ester, N. Y, who took what was con-
sidered the best outfit to the Copper
river. was drowned and his body not
recovered. A. J. Northcott of Buffalo,
N. Y, and ]. J. Shelly of Homer, N. Y,
succeeded in getting up the river.
Nortcott says that near its head they
found flour gold in a few scattered
places, but the ground was not rich
enough to work.

Key West, Fra, July 23.-(Special.)
The cruiser Topeka, which arrived
today from Nipe, brings reports of the
bombardment of that place Thursday
by four American ships. Nipe Is sit
uated in a large bay and near Holguin.
Shafter wanted it reduced to use as a
base of supplies in the campaign
against the latter place. Sampson sent
the Topeka, Annapolis, Wasp and Ley
Iden to reduce the forts. The vessels
fired for an hour, silencing five shore
batteries, sinking a Spanish cruiser
and compelling two of the enemy's
%gunboats to surrender. The marines
then landed, hauled down the Spanish
flag, raised "Old Glory" and took pos
session.
Not a man vas injured or an Ameri-
can ship struck. The fatalities on the
Spanish side are believed to be light.
After the fight was over it was found
that the channel was well streWn with
mines. The Wasp and Leyden were
left to take them up, so that large YES
sells might enter without danger.
On the way here the Topeka passed
the Puritan, Terror, Cincinnati and
Montgomery. They signaled they were
going to Nipe.

S is CONFIDENT.
Reina Mercedes and Infanta Maria Te-
resa Can Be Saved.

Washington. d. c., July 22.-About
$50 O'Clock Lieutenant Hobson went
to the White House to pay his respects
to the president. Secretary Long ac-
ceived them in the cabinet room. He
gave Lieutenant Hobson a most cor
dial greeting. and paid him a tribute
for what he regarded as one Of the
most conspicuous acts of gallantry in
the history Of naval warfare. After re-
manning with the president for half an
hour. the secretary and Lieutenant
Hobson left the White House, the
former going to his home, and the lat
ter to the army and navy club. While
at the White House Hobson gave his
autograph to half a dozen or more So
licitors. although he remarked he could
not imagine why they desired it.
While discussing the object Of his
visit here, Lieutenant Hobson informed
Secretary Long that two Of the Span
ish vessels of Cervera's squadron, the
Rena Mercedes and the Infanta Maria
Teresa, can be saved certainly, and he
expressed the utmost confidence that
the Cristobal Colon could be saved al
so. He is particularly anxious that
every possible effort be made with the
Colon, as he regards that ship as the
finest Of her class that was ever con-
structed. He is enthusiastic in his eff
forts to W the ships and, declining
to remain in Washington for even a
day, tonight hurried back to New York
to take up the subject Of his mission
with the wrecking company.

BLANCO'S
Announces Surrender Of Santiago, But
Declares 1t Is Not a Serious Event.

Havana, July 22.-Captain General
Blanco has issued the following proc
lamation announcing the capitulatiOn
of Santiago. 1t is dated Havana.
July II:
After three months heroic defense
and many bloody battles. owing to a
scarcity of ammunition and %victuals,
the garrison of Santiago de Cuba has
been forced to capitulate under hon
orable conditions and with the honors
of war. This occurred on the day of
July 16, when ii was recognized by the
brave Spanish General Of the division,
who was acting commander of the
place, that resistance was useless and
that he could no longer hold the place.
Notwithstanding hat achievements
had been possible, and hal although he
should receive such from ManZanillO,
and although he should still cover
further losses and bloody combats, and
although he might put the city in a
condition of better defense, he was still
face to face with the fact that rein
forcements would only make further
inroads into the already greatly con-
sumed and nearly exhausted store of
provisions of the Spanish garrison.
The city was thus placed in a very la
mentable condition. The situation was
anticipated, but it caused great depres-
sion to the Spanish forces.
THE occupation of the city of Santi-
ago by the military force of the Ameri-

ATTACKED FIVE THOUSAND
SPANIARDS WITH -FOUR
THOUSAND CUBANS.
Spanish Troops Were on Their
Way to Santiago to Surrender to
General Shafter-Garcia Knew
This, But Made the III Advised
Attack Nevertheless.

New York. July pa cable to the
Herald from Santiago Cuba, Thurs
day. by dispatch boat to Port Antonio.
says:
-Four thousand Cuban insurgents.
comprising General Garcia's army Of
the eastern department Of Cuba. have
been routed in a fierce engagement
with a detachment of Spanish troops
bound for Santiago to surrender. In
this battle, which took place several
miles to the north of this city, forty
one Cubans were killed and many more
were wounded. The Spanish loss, I
am informed. was much smaller. Moth
ing happening in this vicinity recently
has taken the American officers and
troops so completely by surprise as
this battle between the Spaniards and
look upon the insurgents as eaters,
rather than fighters. and they scarcely
believed the first reports that Garcia's
men had laid an ambush and had OPEN
ed the fire by attacking the Spanish
troops.
| have been unable to learn as yet
whether General Garcia was aware of
the enemy he was attacking. If he
thought he had encountered a small
force of Spaniards and could overpovS
er them easily it was a grave mistake.

R C ACTING QUEERLY.
Preparing to Fight, Resigning and Dis
banding His Army.

Santiago, July Notwithstanding
General Garcia's bitter complaint that
he had been ignored and that the res
toration of the Spanish civil authori-
ty in the city of Santiago was most Of
~fensive to him, and that in consequence
of this he had been forced to tender his
resignation as a general in the Cuban
army, he is going on with his prepara-
lions for a contest with the Spanish
forces at Holguin and Manzanillo, quite
as though nothing had happened.
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue
a decree authorizing all Cubans who
have been driven from their planta-
tons and country homes by the Span
iards, and who have taken refuge for
safety in the cities and towns, to re-
turn to the country and to work on
their farms and plantations, assuring
them of protection by his forces. He
has added like permission to those in
his ranks who were recruited from the
farm lands and who were employed in
the fields at the outbreak Of the war.
Although it must be confessed that
General Garcia's attitude is inexplic-
able, his permission to the men in his
ranks to go back to work ON the farms
being construed to mean an effort to
disband his forces. But this may not
be altogether justified. 1t is certain
