MANILA, July 9. via Hongkong, July
13.-The insurgents ons Wednesday,
July 9th, reported that the German
gunboat Irene, in Subic Bay, refused
to permit them to attack the Spaniards
on Grande Island. Rear Admiral Dewey
promptly dispatched the Raleigh and
Concord to investigate the matter. On
entering Subic Bay the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out by
the outer channel. The result of the
fire of the American warship was that
the Spanish, numbering over 500 men,
surrendered everything.
On returning to Manila, the Irene ex-
planned that she interfered lin the cause
of humanity and offered to hand over
to the Americans the refugees she had
on board. Admiral Dewey, however.
declined to accept them.
Governor General Augusti has issued
a proclamation promising to grant au-
tonomy to the islands and offering the
insurgents inducements to join the
Spanish forces. General Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader, in reply, said the over
lures of the Spanish commander came
too late,

RUMORED PEACE MOVEMENT.
Spain Will Evacuate Cuba if We
Will Give Up All the Rest.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Star"
claims to be in a position to state au-
thoritatively that an active exchange
Of views occurred on Monday and Tues
day between the diplomats who are en-
deavoring to arrive at a peace under
standing between the United States and
Spain. 1t also states that the Spanish
Government is ready to agree to evac-
uate Cuba if her soldiers are allowed to
depart in a manner acceptable to an
army which has not been defeated, and
if the United States is ready to assume
the Cuban debt. The greatest difficulty
is with the question of war indemnity
but a solution of this may EerNaps be
found n proposal from a syndicate of
American and English bankers to repay
the United States its war expenses in
twenty annuities, taking in return the
tobacco monopoly and the railway con-
cessions in Cuba and the Philippines.
1t is rumored that if Spain will surren-
der Santiago without further bloodshed
President Mckinley in order to facili-
tate peace, may abandon the attack on
Porto Rico. If the pending peace nego-
tiations succeed, the Queen Regent will
appoint Moret Cabinet to sign the ar
ticles of peace.
The Star adds that at the last mo-
ment it learns that Spain has expressed
its readiness to cede to Germany the
Vizcaya Islands, provided Germany
will guarantee to Spain possession of
Mindinao and the Carolines, in which
case Spain will abandon Luzon to the
United States

after the appearance of the Raleigh and
Concord. A comparison of the ships
shows that the Irene was much supe-
rior to either of the American vessels,
and in tonnage was almost as large as
the Raleigh and Concord together.
From this it is inferred that the retire
ment of the Irene was from motives of
general policy rather than from any in
disposition to try conclusions with the
two American ships.
In armor the German ship was much
stronger than the Americans, but in
guns the Americans had the advantage.
In official circles here there appears
to be no disposition to look upon the ac-
ton of the Irene as a menace which
will require explanation. 1t was thought
at first this outward show of force on
the part of the German ships might
lead to an inquiry by this Government
as to the purposes of Germany Thus
far, however, there is no disposition to
make such inquiry, or to attach siren
uous import to the incident.

succeeded in making it's way over the
almost impossible trail to the trenches
at the front This, with the four bat
teries already there, is not considered
by the American commander as suffi-
cient, and probably twentyfour hours
will elapse before the general engage

General Skaters second and last pro-
posal to surrender was sent into San
tiago at noon yesterday. 1t went in the

Unconditional surrender, it was de-
clared, was the only terms to be consid-

these terms could save the Spanish
forces and innocent citizens from awful
slaughter.
The firing which has been going on at
intervals since Sunday afternoon was
ordered stopped when the fiaS Of truce
started for the Spanish side and had not
been resumed No attention was paid
to General Skaters communication un-
til shortly after o'clock this morning,
when a reply came under flag of truce.
General Toral was as brief as his foe,
saying, in effect, that if the Americans
wanted Santiago they would have to
come and get it. He declared that un
conditional surrender of the city was
beyond reason and possibility, and ex-
pressed himself as ready to meet an at
tack at any time the invading army saw
fit to make one
General Shafter accepted the answer
as final, and although no firing was or
dered he Immediately began prepara
tions for the coming struggle. General
Randolph's ten light batteries Were or
dered rushed from the landing place at
Juragua, and change in the lines was
made. General Lawton's entire diviS-
ion was moved to the nOrthward a mile
and a half, his extreme right being
placed a CaimeneZ, on the border Of the
harbor. This movement places the
American forces in a semi-circle entire
ly surrounding Santiago and cutting off
the retreat of the Spaniards except by

The late arrivals of volunteers were

GRAVE ANXIETY.
Taking Sanitary Precautions for
Health OF the Troons.

WASHINGTON, July 13-The War
Department received dispatches from
General Miles and General Shafter to-
day and the Navy Departmnt receivd
dispatches from the fleet off Santiago.
The contents of these several dis
patches were not made public up to
noon. They had the effect however,
of arousing officials, both military and
naval, to unusual activity Coupled
with this was an undercurrent of ap-
parent anxiety throughout army head
quarters. The adviceS speedily led to a
war council at the White House at
which Secretaries Long and Alger and
the members of the war board were
present.
Adjutant General Corbn also was at
the White House. Before Secretary
Alger went to the White House he had
a conference with Surgeon General
Sternberg, who also had received dis
patches from the surgical corps near
Santiago. Although the dispatches We're
not given out, those in position to
speak intelligently of them said that
any anxiety which might exist was not
due to material change in the military
situation, but rather to the severe con-
ditionS surrounding our soldiers as q
result of the rainy season and the ter
rife storms of the last few days. To
What extent our troops were affected
the authorities would not disclose, as
they desire to avoid unnecessary appre-
hension. Although the dispatches were
thus guarded, it was stated definitely
that no fighting was in progress up to
the time of the last report. 1t was
also stated that the fears that the
ereny might secretly draw off some of
their forces to the mountains north of
Santiago had not been realized. The
city was still surrounded, it was said,
and there appeared to be no apprehen-
sion on the part of the officers in COM
mand that the enemy would get away.
Much anxiety has been created at the
War Department by a press report that
Brigadier General Duffield was sick in
the hospital. General DuffieId is a fell
low toWnsman of Secretary Alger's
and one of his closest personal asso-
ciates. The dispatches of Generals

All the negotiations for peaceful sur

utter failure to-day and the city must
fall by the sword.
General Toral, the Spanish command
er, has finally and definitely refused to
accept Skaters proposal for an uncon-
ditional surrender, and the American
army nov only awaits the word of its
General to begin the final struggle.
Just when the attack will be made
depends upon the time which will ensue
before General Randolph can land his
batteries at the front, as it is definitely
settled that the forward movement will
not begin until the army is fully backed
by the big guns, the absence of which

anga gements.

fleets would maintain a strong block
ade off all the important Cuban ports
and thus render their occupation much
easier than now. 1t is thought that
this plan has not been fully decided
upon, but it is known to have been
under consideration. Reports from the
front show that the feet off Santiago
is almost powerless to aid the land
forces in its assault upon the city.

HAVANA, July 13.-The following
are Spanish accounts of recent events in
Cuba:
About O'Clock on Sunday afternoon,
July 10th, the American forces COM
menced an attack on the city of San
tiago de Cuba by way of the nights of
San Juan and Jueno. They opened a
fire of musketry and artillery which
continued for one hour. The Ameri-
can fleet simultaneously bombar6ed the
city, ceasing fire at Z p. m. 1t was
without advantage to the Americans
who did not gain any ground, while the
Spanish forces maintained their posi-
tiCns.
Spanish troops at the Tecras Negros,
province of Matanzas, have been en-
gagged with the insurgents of that
neighborhood, killing five of the latter
On Saturday. July 9th, the insurgents
dynamited the railroad between Candle
laria and Punta Bravo, province of Pi-
mar Del Rio. The explosion occurred
the moment an observation train was
passing. The engine was damaged. a.
culvert was destroyed and an armored
car derailed. One soldier of the es-
cOrt was wounded, and communication
over that part of the island was inter-
rupted until Sunday.
