SANTIAGO MUST SURRENDER.
President Won't Consent to "A Com
promise with the Enemy.

Washington July 10.-The American flag
foated over the White House and war
and navy departments to-day, an unusual
thing for a Sabbath, but a sign of the
times. 1t was a reminder of the Presi-
dents call upon the people of the land to
celebrate the glorious achievements of the
Americans army and navy
In the war department Adjt Gen. Cor
bin was busy at his desk, as he has been
every day and half Of every night since
the war began, opening official kilograms
and dispatchng orders to all points where
the soldiers are gathered.
Word came to-day over the wires that
two of the lighters to land the artillery
and supplies of the army have just reach
ed Siboney, and it is expected that two
more lighters with the necessary tugs viii
arrive there in the course of day or two.
The purpose of Gen. Linares in Offering
to evacuate Santiago was TO cross over
northward to Hoguin. sixty miles distant,
Once there it might be possible for him
to make his way to Havana, although his
route would be beset with innumerable
difficulties.
This could not be contemplated by the
President and his war cabinet, nor would
we permit Gen. Linares to remove his
army to Spain, as had been suggested IN
some quarters, for the moral effect would
be bad.
The Presidents ulumatum was voiced to-
day IN an authoritative source, as follows:
The only solution of the situation Is the
absolute and unconditional surrender of
Gen. Linares' army, and that will take
place, if it requires the whole of the 225,0OO
men in the United States army to accom-
plish al"
Gen. Miles will reach the army before
Santiago with the reinforcements within a
day or two, and if the end has not been
reached there shortly afterward it will
be for him to advise whether this vast
army is TO be called into play.

SPAIN BOUND TO SUE SOON.
Fail of Santiago Pretty Apt to Bring
Her to Her Senses.

Her to Her Senses
London, July ia special dispatch from
Madrid says: "All the talk of peace
seems, up to the present, to have led to
no tangible results. No doubt the gov
eminent would welcome an opportunity to
negotiate directly with the United States
were the signs propitious, but there are
so many circumstances to be considered
that it looks as though the policy to drift
and waiting for something to turn up
would continue until Santiago has fallen.
The fan of Santiago will convince the
most sanguine of the hopelessness of thc
struggle, and will give the government
the desired opportunity at least to sug-
gest an armistce for the consideration of
terms.
"Circumstantial statements are already
in circulation to the effect that the war is
virtually ended and that the government
has actually opened peace negotiations,
but they cannot be verified
"A detailed account has been published
of SPANS naval losses-21 warships and q
merchantmen, as against practically no
losses on the American side This tends
to convince the most rabid war advocate,
anu, as IOr a long time past, the whole
commercial and Industrial interests of
Spain are bringing strong influence to bear
in favor of peace.
Every day that passes without dis
turbances strengthens. the peace party 1t
is believed however, that there is a strong
undercurrent in favor of continuing the
war, and the attitude of the Carlists and
Republicans cause anxiety. A mysterious
black-edged, unsigned manifesto appeared
ir the leading squares of Madrid to-day
Sunday, bearing the municipal stamp
and headed Gloria Victis' with an angel
supporting a dead, naked soldier.
THE manifesto contains an eloquent Gp-
peal from Spanish mothers, calling for the
regeneration of the country on the basis
of the army and crying Down With
Bribed Politicians and Bought Press!
-Four million copies of this manifesto
have been distributed throughout Spain,
and it is attracting considerable atten-
ton.
The whole of Admiral Camara's squad
ron, with the exception of the Pelayo and
the San Augustin, which are waiting at
Port Said for a transfer of coal, is now

subject and says:
THE Carlist organs recommend fighting
to the death. All things considered l
should say peace is in sight but it is stin
a long way off. AS 10 its approaching or
receding in the immediate future, much
will depend upon the attitude Of the Amer
lean government and press. Nothing has
fostered peace tendencies here more
than the recent generous recognition by
the Americans in official dispatches and
newspaper articles of the fine soldierly
qualities of their antagonists.
After all, it is said by men who for
merly used very different language, these
Americans are people with whom we can
make war, or even, perhaps peace"

Madrid. July 10, 2 p. m.-Marshal MaIti-
Dez Campos. in the course of an interview
at San Sebastian said it was impossible
that negotiations for peace should be en-
tered upon by the Spanish and American
governments. for the reason that the time
was not yet ripe.
He had advocated reforms for Cuba
since 1863, but not autonomy. He fully
recognized that autonomy had not yielded
the expected results, partly in consequence
Of the island war and partly because it
had been granted too late
In 1896, he said, the late Senior Canovas,
when premier had proposed to him to
introduce autonomy, but he (Campos) de-
o!ined 10 do So considering the time I'M
favorable.
Gen Campos denied a remark attributed
to him that he was less concerned at the
loss Of Admiral Cervera's squadron than
at The position Of the Queen Regent.

and the monarchy are intimately connect

lection for the Queen Regent is great.

MAUsER WOUNDS CLEAN CUT.
Holes Seem to Have Been Neatly
Drilled Through Flesh and Bone.

Tampa, Fla, July 1O.-The transports
Iroquos and Cherokee, arriving last night,
brought $50 wounded men from Santiago
These have been distributed to-day to
positions on shore, and the transports are
awaiting orders.
AT daylight the long train of hospital
cars was thrown open for the reception of
those who were going to Fort Mcpherson,
and 223 men were placed aboard.
Eighty-seven were sent to the general
hospital of the Fourth Army Corps, and
the surgeons there had their first expert
ence in dressing war wounds.
The sufferers were treated with the
greatest consideration and while they lay
upon the rough pine table they gave an
account Of their wounds, and how they
were received and what effect they had on
them. Invariably, when the Mauser bull
let's struck they were knocked down but
suffered little. The holes seemed to have
been neatly drilled through the flesh and
bone, making no laceration. Only one man
brought over was unable to walk, all the
others having sufficiently recovered TO
Go SO
The wounds were mainly in the hands
arms and feet. Men with their feet bum
died in white cloths and their arms in
sings were in abundance, but although
they must have suffered, they were happy.
They talked good naturally of the fight
and spoke highly of the enemy Many of

bullets that wounded them.

RUSSIAN PRESS BITTER.
Accuses United States of Using a
New Kind of Explosive.

New Kind of Explosive.
London, July II, a. m.-The press of all
the continental cities is most actively dis
cussing the prospects of peace propagat-
ing various rumors to the general effect
that the negotiations are all to very little
profit.
The Russian papers are very bitter
against the United States.
The st. Petersburg Novosti characterizes
the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet
as brutal slaughter" and accuses the
Americans of employing some kind of
new explosive machine or bomb, contrary
to international law"
The busiest discussion of all, so far as
America is concerned, occupies the Ger
man papers. Their tone is much milder
since Ambassador Whites Fourth of July
speech at Leipsic, but the papers are I'M
able to refrain from their belittling crlti-
cisms of the American army.
The National Zeitung, however, pub
fishes a serious and interesting article on
the naval aspects of the war, and draws
the conclusion that the importance of ma
chinery has been fully demonstrated. It
says: The Spaniards were decimated by
the superior quick-firing guns of the
Americans The battle of Santiago shows
that only machine guns and accurate
shooting are of any account in modern
naval warfare"

SPRINGFIELD VS.. MAUSER.
Claim Made That the American Gun
Is Not Inferior.

is MOI
Washington, July 1O-The ordnance Of
ficers of the army are indignant at the
statements that have appeared in the
press, some of them attributable to high
army officers, questioning the merits of
the Springfield rife, with which a large
proportion of the United States army is
armed These statements, they say, are
calculated to do infinite harm among the
volunteer forces, though the regulars
know and like the old Springfield too we'll
to distrust it now.
The principal argument made against its
employment by the critics is that its short
range enables the Spanish, armed with
Mausers, to pick off our men long before
they get within range of The Springfields.
This is said to be based upon record
The Springfield has a range of 3,4O0
yards, which is only a few hundred yards
short of the Mauser, and the formers big
5O0-grain bullet is said to have greater
killing power at the long ranges.
The opinion of some good practicable
soldiers as TO the respective merits of the
Springfield and the modern small-bore is
shown by the fact that such able soldiers
as Col Ray and Col Schuyler of New
York, who are organizing independent
regiments, have specially requested the
war department TO supply them the
former.
A good deal has been said also, as to
the great superiority of smokeless powder
used in the small-bore over the black
powder of the Springfield, but one of the
best ordnance officers in the war depart
ment has declared that there are merits
in both powders.
