THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES.
Starving People FlochinE to the American
Camp From Santiago

Starving People flockinE to the american
Camp From Santiago.
New York, July lO.--A special 20 the
HeraSl from before Santiago says:
The lack OF proper hospital facilities
I'm the American lines has been accent
uated by the arrival of 10000 refugees
from Santiago within the American
lines. IL IS believed that General Ii
mares, far from seeking TO prevent men,
women and children from leaving the
city. Is encouraging the exodus from
the city. Responsibility for the protec-
tIon OF those non-combatanis rested up
on the Spanish commander until the
women and children were admitted
within our lines. Now the response
bllity of feeding and sheiterlhg THESE
helpless thousands falls upon the
Americans General Shlfter has re-
lieved General Linarcs of n treInen-
dous embarrassment and our army has
been saddled with 1t. Many of the
refugees do not conceal their hatred OF
the Americans. even while accepting
our food and protection The condi-
ton OF these refugees truly Is appaii-
ing. A great majority of the refugees
are from the destitute families OF the
city. and they have no means OF get
ting further from Santiago than I'll
Caney or OF better!ng their condition.
They cannot return 10 the city untll 1t
is occupied by our army, and we must
care for them as best we can. The
Red Gross society to-day opened re-
lief depot at III Caney. and succeeded
temporarily In satisfying the hunger
OF the refugees. There are plenty OF
supplies Mt Siboney. but there is no
means of transporting the food to III
Caney. The little village to the north
east of the beleagucred city cannot
hold half OF the refugees.
Thousands are sleeping under shacks
built in the streets and in the WOODS
one of the most pitinblc of the many
touching scenes being enacted nj ri
Cancy was witnessed early last even
Ing when pale, pretty young mother,
clad only In thin wrapper and hold
ing her ihpee-wecks-old babe In her
arms, piteousiy begged for some con-
densed milk for her little one. Mother
and babe so long had been without
nourishment that the child at least
must die within 4 few hours. Many
similar cases are reported. No milk
had been received In FL Cancy up TO
noon to-day.
A wealthy English merchant begged
for can of beans for his family. IL
was given TO him and he carried II
away concealed under his coat lest he
bc rolajcd Thousands Of the refugees
deserted FL Caney and strew the road
all along the way 10 Sibouey. where
there Is no shelter for them. but where
they VIII get more food. Hundreds of
sick are gathered about the army com
mlssary station. where, amid unsani-
tary surroundings, gruy-haired men
and women tottcr around begging for
II single piece of harl tack. Women
fought with one another In their mad
scramble to get Into the Red Gross de-
pot. This terrible situation Is certain
to continue until Santiago falls. Mersi-
fully there has been no rain for three
days. but 1t must come soon. When 1t
does 1t Will redouble the misery Of the
refugees.

Washington. July 1O.-The first
proposition from the Spanish com-
mander came yesterday morning
through General Shafter. The Ameri-
can officer cabled to General Alger that
General Linares offered to surrender
the city. on condition that he and the
troops We're allowed to return to Spain.
Secretary Alger at once took the dis
patch over TO the White House, where
IL was the subject OF consideration,
and the decision was reached not to ac-
cept the proposition. General Shafter
was notified that nothing short of un-
conditional surrender would be consId-
cred by this government.
Linares then asked that the truce be
continued for twenty-four hours that
he might consider IL and consult with
Madrid and Captain General Blanco.
General Shaftcr granted his request.
IT is understood that further negotin-
tions have been conducted by Generals
Shafter and Llnares, and that the lat
est terms proposed are at the White
House.
The extension OF truce has been most
advantageous TO the American forces.

At the sixty-thlrd annual meeting OF
the New England Cotton Manufactnr-
ers' Association last week Mr. j. S. Da-
Wis. OF Holyoke. Mass. presented pa
per on FLAX Culture and the MaEufac-
ture OF Linen in Place OF Coarser Cot
tons in New England" Among other
things the speaker said: 1T seems in
eyitable that the manufacture OF coar-
scr cottons will be gradually trans
ferred to the south. Indeed. II tnis
movement toward the south continues
at the increased pace of the last ten
years the south will be making the
larger part OF the coarser cottons man
ufactured In this country. The New
England cotton manufacturers must
face this fact squarely and with the
same indomitable courage and enter
prise with which they have faced the
many obstacles of the past" Further
on the speaker stated that the produc-
ton of the FAX fiber has fallen from
27 1888. .03i pounds in 1869 to 10000
pounds In 1897 In 1910 $4,000, 900 yards
OF linen were made In this country.
whereas at present We import $50 .000,-
900 worth of linen annually. 1t was
suggested that the abandoned farms of
New England are peculiarly adapted
to the culture of fax and that many
idle cotton mills could be profitably
converted into linen mills.
