PEACE is EASY.
Foreign Diplomats Say Spain Could Easily
Be Approached Through Generals.

Washington, July 9-One of the
ablcst members of the Diplomatic corps
in Washington, the ambassador of n
continental power, suggested today,
that if Spain or the United states
We're DESTROYS Of inaugurating n peace
movement, an easy ana effective
means Of doing 50 was now at hand
without recourse to any foreign inter
mediary. This he pointed out could
be done through the American and
Spanish generals at Santiago, VINO,
during the recent days have been
brought into close communication CON
corning the details of the surrender of
Santiago.
The incident has served to show that
Cen. Toral was in direct communl-
cation with Madrid and his action was
responsible to the wish Of the Madrid
government. On the other hand IL
was pointed out, Gen. Shafter had at
all times been guided by the direct
advice and instruction of the WASH
inGton government. This for the first
time in the war brought the two gov
ernmcnts into direct COMMUNICATION
and while the COMMUNICATION has thus
far been confined to Santiago it mas
suggested that it affords the opportun-
between the two capitals. If Madrid
desires to take the initiative in learn
then such an official inquiry through
Gen. Toral to General Shafter would
doubtless bring response.

fixed for hauling down the Spanish flag
over Caimanera.
The American officer also gave notice
that if the Spanish gunboat Sandoval was
disabled in any way. or if any arms or
ammunition or public buildings or bar
racks at Caimanera or Guantanamo were
destroyed, the Spdniards would not be
treated as prisoners of war. The flag
was hauled down, this afternoon.
From Spanish sources it is learned that
the total force in Guantanamo and Cal
mancra is about 5000, of which number.
however, only about 5000 are fit for SER
vice, the others being disabled by sick
ness or wounded.
Tomorrow, steps will be taken for a
formal surrender. What disposition will
be made of the prisoners has not yet been
determined because of the presence OF
yellow fever among them. rigid quar-
antine will be maintained and it Is prob
able that transports for the removal Of
the prisoners will be sent up the bay and
loaded there, instead of having the pris-
oners marched down here.
