COMMISSION AT WORK.
Negotiating the Formal Terms OF
the Surrender Of Santiago
de Cuba.

Before Santiago, July IA, 1915 p. m.
via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay.
Santiago has surrendered. Aa>commis-
sion Of two Spaniards, one Englishman
and thiee Americans is now arranging
terms.
Probably the Spanish army will accept
a parole and be returned to Spain. We
Insist on immediate possession of the city,
pending arrangements as to details, and
probably will enter Santiago tonight. .:
Our army will remain outside the city,
but our sick will be taken in and gen.
eral hospital headquarters will be imme-
diately established.
f The truce, which was to end at noon
today, was prolonged by q flag sent out
from the Spanish lines at $50 this morn
ing. Gen. Toral, acting on Capt. Gen.
Blanco's instructions, asked time to COM
municate by cable with Madrid, the sur
render of Santiago being too important

to appoint q joint commission to arrange

SS Gen. Miles and Gen. shafter decided
to call for personal interview with Gen.

The news was received with enthusi-
asm in the American lines. The Ameri-
can warships are expected to pass under
the guns of Ell Moro this evening and
will command the town from the upper
bay. It is probable that but few will re-

for all the heavy vessels to join Commo-

coast y" -3t- 7;
There is il report-as yet unconirmed-
that the surrender and evacuation of the
Spanish troops may extend to the entire
province of Santiago de Cuba. This
is only a rumor, which events may dis
prove, but it is genrally believed that in
case OF such an evacuation our main
forces would probably seek a fresh
camp on the highlands in the vicinity
with view to recuperating.

mo PEACE 0V[RTUREs.
Spain Has Not App preached tho
United States.
PROSPECT Is BRIGHT.
Runs In the Direction Of .
Peace Proposals.

Warrington, D. G.. July 15.-aThere
have been no oyertures for peace received
by any United States embassy Of lega-
ton abroad or BY the department Of state
at Washington" Sss. .5zE ..,s. ,sz.3
That was the statement made by mems
Der of the cabinet, who is thoroughly fa-
miliar with the conditions as they exist
today, and was called forth By the yari-
Gus reports that ranged all the way from
an announcement that the basis Tor a
treaty Of peace already had been reached
TO- the more guarded declaration that the
Spanish government had conveyed in an
unofficial manner to the United States
government an intimation of some Of the
concessions It was prepared to make to
secure peace. ..
The prospects for the speedy institution
of peace negotiations have frightened
considerably. since the collapse Of the
Spanish resistance at Santiago. The
moral effect of that victory for the Amer
lean arms is beginning to be felt in the d.
rection Of peace. ~ y )
If the cabinet has discussed terms of
peace up to this moment, the fact has
not been divulged by any. responsible
source. Now and then one of the govern
some message summing up European gas-
sip, and naturally in view of the earnest
desire for the speedy restoration Of peace
entertained by the European powers, this
gossip tends to bear out the belief that
peace negotiations are at hand. The
President hopes so. He has made no
concealment of his earnest desire for a
speedy termination of the war. Such a
position on his part Is entirely reconcile
bic to the earnest purpose to prosecute. the
war until its original purpose has been at
tanned. Before that time any overtures
Tor peace must come from Spain.
The news from Madrid that Spain had
been practically placed under martial law
Is regarded as most hopeful sign. 1t is
construed to mean a purpose on the part
of the Spanish government to bind up in
advance the turbulent elements in Spain
that might be expected to take advantage
of the public discomfort caused by the
heavy sacrifices the government must
make to obtain peace in order to cause
q revolution and overthrow the monarchy.
It is realized here by the officials that ev-
cry day will bring. forth a. fresh crop of
peace run1ors, few with any foundation,
but their very circulation and the credence
gained for them is regarded as an encour-
aging sign Of general belief that the Span
lsh cause is near its end.

not been totally unsatisfactory during
the past year. In the first nine months

Willow Wood for Charcoal.

Spectators are said to be busy buying
M all the willow wood available for the
use of the powder manufacturers. Trees
not over four feet in diameter are the
best and bring the most money. They
are most thickly found along streams in
Pennsylvania and adjoining states. The
reason that willow is sought after is that
it makes the best charcoal for mixing in
the ingredients necessary in the making
of powder. Willow wood charcoal is also
more easily pulverized than that from
any other wood. The wood is purchased
by shrewd buyers. who claim that it is
to be used for making kindling sticks,
but a cord is worth ten times as much as
either pine or hickory. In times of peace
its value amounts to but little.
