Seek Peace With America.

Seek Peace With America.
LONDON, July 13.-A special dis
patch from Madrid published this af-
terpoon, says: Capt. Gen. Blanco has
replied to the Spanish governments
reiterated representations in regard to
peace, by energetically protesting
the idea of peace. The captain gen.
eral says the report that the govern
ment has resolved to negotiate with
the United States has had a deplora-
BILE effect, especially among the troops.
He adds that deputation of officers
chosen by the army had begged him
to convey to the government their pro-
tests against any propositions for
peace, claiming that nothing can JUS
tify a cessation of hostilities at pres
ent Continuing, Gen. Blanco says:
1.-The army has only just come into
action, and thus far cannot be said
to have suffered a reverse, although
opposed numerically to a far stronger
force. The deputation declares that
so long as it is not conclusively proved
that the troops are incapable Of sue
cessfully defending Cuba. Spain can
not talk of peace without dfshonoring
the army in the eyes of the world. The
Cuban volunteers are even more violent
opponents of peace. They declare they
will! not recognize any agreement con-
cluded under the present conditions,
and that, even deserted by Spain, they
will continue the war themselves.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, July 13.-
Eleven Spanish officers were landed
from the st. Louis today and were as
signed to quarters on Seavey's island
near the captive seamen. There are
four lieutenants, three sergeants, two
chaplains and two ensigns in the party.
Their quarters are separated from
those of the men and the officers have
been allowed to retain their own serv-
ants. Today ali the Spanish officers
were allowed to cable home, by the di-
rection Of Secretary Alger. Admiral
Cervera has quickly felt the benefits of
the New England climate, and he was
reported to be in his usual excellent
health. He Is much pleased with
this port as visiting place and desires
to return little later If OUR govern
ment will permit him to do so.
Rev. Curtis 5Hoyt Dickens, Of this
city, was Admiral Cervera's guest to-
day, and he dined with all the Spanish
officers on the st. Louis. On his re-
turn he brought some mementoes,
among them being two gold mounted
buttons from Admiral Cervera's coat,
the admiral's s autograph and auto
graphs Of all the Spanish commanders.

From official sources here, it is re-

GUNS FOR THE NAVY.
Washington Factory Keeping Well
Ahead of the Requirements.

Washington Factory Keeping Well
Ahead of the Requirements.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-There Is to
be no letting up in the work Of manu-
featuring guns for the navy until the
department is satisfied that it has an
ample supply to fit out any reasonable
number Of vessels that may be needed
before the war ends. Some time ago
the big gun factory here was set to
work on 200 six-pounders, with their
mounts, and both are so far advanced
that reserve number is now ready to
replace any that may be injured in
service or for equipping new ships that
may be purchased. Lately the activ-
ity at the shops has been resumed on
the old basis, and now gangs Of men
are working In three relays through
out the twenty -four hours on all classes
Of ordnance. The department appre-
hends that when the war is ended some
of the larger guns on shipboard may
show signs Of weakness after their
heavy use in the bombardments, and
will have to be replaced by new pieces.
Others, it is believed, may need some
overhauling, and to meet such demands
the factory here is keeping well ahead
Of actual requirements of the service,
and is laying In a reserve stock for
any emergency that may arise.
The batteries of the three new bat
tleships, which should be completed
next January, are well advanced, and
practically all the thirteen-inch guns
will be ready for installation in few
weeks. The lighter battery guns are
now ready, and the siX-pounders and
four-pounders, with their mounts,
could be sent on shipboard today if
necessary Casting for numbers of
rapid-fire six-inch rifles are being re-
ceiyed, and work is to be pushed in
turning out these calibers, so that by
the autumn a good supply will be
stored UP.
A new battery for the Philadelphia
is also to be undertaken at once and
forwarded to Hawaii or San Francisco
for installation to replace the old six
inch rifles she now carries. None of
the Philadelphia's guns is of the quick
fire pattern, and the effectiveness of
the battery Is therefore considerably
reduced. The guns removed can be
easily converted at the factory here.
Modern batteries for the Chicago have
also been finished, and the guns will be
in place by the end of the month.
Equipped with thirteen five-inch and
her eights, the Chicago will be one of
the most efficient cruisers of the navy.
Seven million dollars Is available for
expenditure by the navy ordnance bu-
reau, and a large part of this is to go
for the making Of guns Of all types.
The delivery of the second consign-
ment of new small arms has begun,
and allotments are being made to ships
as fast as they are received. One hun
dred new rifles are being supplied the
navy daily under a contract for fur
nishing 5000 awarded last spring.

PLAYA DEL ESTE. July 13.-IMaj.
Gen. Miles today assumed command
of the army around Santiago and the
future movements of the United States
troops will be directed by him in per-
son.
The armistice which has been de-
clared pending negotiations for the sur
rendering of the Spanish forces will ex-
pire at noon Thursday and unless the
demands of the Americans are acceded
to by that time a general attack will
be made, the fleet bombarding the city
from outside the harbor.
1t is believed, however, that tomor-
row morning-and perhaps before then,
a white flag will be flying from the
Notifications.
The terms of surrender insisted upon
by the American commander take in
not only the beleaguered Spaniards in
Santiago, but the whole province of
Santiago, including the garrisons at
Manzanillo, Holguin and Baracoa The
United States on its part agrees to send
the Spanish troops back to Spain and
to allow their officers their side arms.
No other concessions will be granted
CRISIS AT HAND.
WASHINGTON, July 1S. = Among
the best-informed administration Of
ficials the opinion is universal tonight
that the crisis in the Santiago cam
paign is at hand. 1t is deemed GER
tain that tomorrow will witness either
a desperate fight or an unconditional
surrender on te part of the Spanish
forces, with the chances of both so
evenly divided that there is scarcely
a toss-up between them. The war
officials are hoping for surrender of
the city, and they generally believe
Gen. Toral, the Spanish commander,
will yield at the last moment, rather
than subject his men to what would
Inevitably be a losing fight. He is
evidently hesitating as to what course
he shall pursue, and, as Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, commenting upon the situa-
ton tonight, said:
''The soldier who hesitates is DOOM
ed"
Up to 1:30 o'clock tonight not a word
of information that would throw any
light upon the situation at Santiago
had been received by the war depart
ment.

VIII Not Surrender Santiago Until
His Army Is Beaten.

OFF JURAGUA, July 12 (via Kings
ton, July 13).-All hope for a bloodless
surrender of the Spanish forces in San
tiago has been abandoned. Today Gen.
Miles cabled the following to Wash
ington:
'.PLAYA DEL ESTE, July 13.-At
n meeting between the lines. at
which Gen. Shafter and Gen. Wheel
er and Spanish Gen. ToraI were
present, the latter claimed that he
Is unable to act without authority
on his government, but has received
authority to withdraw and surren-
der harbOr ports, munitions of war
and eastern portion of Cuba. He
urgently requests until tomorrow
noon to receive answer from his
government regarding offer of our
government to send his forces to
Spain, which was granted. Signed,
-"Miles, Maj. Gen. Commanding"
Gen. Shafter then wired Washington
as follows:
SANTIAGO, July 13.-YOur teIe-
gram saying no modification of or
ders allowed just received. Have
had an interview with Gen. ToraI,
and have extended truce until noon
tomorrow; told him that his sur
render only would be considered;
that he was without hope of escape,
and had no right to continue the
fight.
81 think it made a strong impress
sion on him and hope for his sur
render. If he refuses, L will open
on him at IL o'clock tomorrow with
every gun L have, and will have the
assistance of the navy, who are
ready to lombard the city with
13-inch shells. Signed,
-"Shafter."

Spain to make the most ample conces-

NO DICTATORSHIPS.
LONDON, July 14-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says:
THE idea Of military dictatorship,
or even of q military government, is
losing ground mainly because Spain
now possesses no prominent or pop
ular military leaders, the collapse in
Cuba having damaged the prospects Of
Marshal Campos or Gen. Weyler. The
latter has coquetted with the Carlisss
and the Extremists to such an extent
that he is now viewed askance by all
parties.
