TORAL DID 1T ALL.
His Government Did Not Order
Him to Surrender.

MADRID, July 20.-4 p. ma semi
official note has been published here,
explaining the circumstances from a
Spanish standpoint of the surrender of
Santiago de Cuba. 1t declares that
the letter which General Toral lis al
legged to have written to General
Shafter" is apocryphal, as the telegraph
version contains a statement which
it is impossible for General Toral to
have made, because it is untrue that
his Government ordered him to capitu-
late"
The note continues: What happened
was that the War Minister received
two kilograms from Captain General
Blanco. The first described General
Toraps position, which was most pitt
full, because of the want of provisions
and ammunition. 1t also detailed the
enemy's proposals.
I'm the second telegram Captain Cen
eral Blanco gave the terms of the ca
pitulation and requested instructions.
General Toral, accordingly acted as he
thought advisable and would explain
before a court martial the motives
which caused him to capitulate.''

Dispatches Have Been Sent That
Their Course is Not Approved.
Believed That They Will Bling About a
Better Understanding Between
the Cubans and the
Americans.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Senor Que
sada and other representatives Of the
Cuban Junta have been in consultation
with officials of the War Department
day. The United States officials were
assured that there was no dissatisfac-
ton with the management of affairs in
Cuba, so far as the Cuban representa-
tives were concerned and that If
Garcia and other CubanS operating
about Santiago were not in harmony
with the United States authorities it
arose from a. misunderstanding of the
Presidents proclamations and of the
intentions Of the United States Gov
ernment in the premises. The Cubans
at Santiago, it was stated, probably
thought that the action of General
Sbafter meant the continuation of
Spanish rule and Spanish authority. 1t
being well understood here that such
was not the case, it was the belief Of
the Cuban representatives that when
the matter was made plain to the
Cuban officers in the field they would
acuuiesce in the action Of the United
States and render the United States
army hearty support.

REPORT OF GARCIA's DEATH.
It Is Said That He Was Shot, but
the Junta Knows Nothing.

NEW YORK, July 20.-A Kingston,
Jamaica, special to- the Evening Post"
says:
Cubans arriving from Siboney bring
in reports of the death of General
Garcia. They make a mystery of it,
saying that it should not be known in
Cuba yet, or in the United States, for
reasons of state, and give no particu-
lars, except he was shot. Spanish refu-
gees here, who are officially connected
with General Blanco, believe the story.
The last word directly received by the
Cuban Junta in this city from Garcia
was dated Santiago, July 11th. 1t was
a cable message and stated briefly that
he was we'll and that progress was
satisfactory. At that time Garcia was
to the west of Santiago, guarding the
approaches from expected reinforce
ments to the city. Horatio ReubenS,
counsel for the Junta, when given the
information contained in the Evening
Posts dispatch, said this afternoon
that news of Garcia's death had not
been received at the Junta, but at best
communication with the Cuban forces
in the field was irregular.
'I am greatly surprised, he said,
''but / do not find it hard TO credit the
dispatch During the assault on San
tiago Garcia was in the west with his
command, with the special duty of in
tercepting reinforcements and cutting
off the retreat of the Spanish soldiers.
When the city fell his duty there was
at an end But, it appears, the attack
on Manzanillo was then planned. Man
zanillo lies to the west and it is there
fore probable that Shafter detailed
Garcias command to cut off reinforce
ments there.
"Holguin lies near Manzanillo and
was garrisoned by considerable force,
as the American General must have
known.
1T is not unlikely that Garcia and
his men came into conflict with a body
of Spanish soldiers bound from Holguin
for Manzanillo."
Calixto Garcia was in his siXtieth
year, and was regarded by the Cuban
insurgents as one of their most in
trepid soldiers. In the ten years war
his SKILL bravery and energy won him
continued promotion until he received
a Generals star. In an action in 1874
Garcia was surrounded by Spanish
troops. Rather than surrender he shot
himself through the chin with suicidal

HURRYING THE IMMUNES.
Probable Delay in Shipment of
Prisoners TO Spain.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The War
Department to-day was doing it's best
to hurry forward tie immune regiments
General Shafters has urgently requested
and it is hoped that they will be gotten
off within twenty-four hours.
The immunes are wanted by General
Shafter to serve as military guards of
Santiago proper, thus obviatinS the ne
cessity of retaining within the zone OF
infection any of the men who now con-
stitute his army. The situation at
Guantanamo among the Spanish troops
surrendered is calculated in some meas
ure to disturb the department. plan
for the shipment of these soldiers back
to Spain. The department is under OBJ
legations not TO place aboard steamships
to be used for conveyance of the troops
any soldiers having yellow fever, so it
will probably be necessary to place the
surrendered camp under very rigid SAN
itary rules, and then sift out carefully
all persons showing the faintest symp-
toms of disease. When the others have
been isolated for a sufficient time, then
making sure that they have not con-
tracted the fever, they will be ready to
go aboard ship. but it can be readily seen
that the adoption of these precautions
involve considerable delay in the return
Of the Spanish troops to Spain, and 1t is
doubtful if this move can be made with
in a month. This delay is unfortunate
in view of the possibility of trouble en-
suing from the presence of the two ar
mics, as we'll as the Cubans at Santiago,
but as the Spanish officers have been or
will be paroled, it is presumed they will
use their influence among the enlisted
men to prevent friction.
Secretary Alger has cabled to General
Shafter directing him to cause to be
prepared at the earliest possible mo-
ment a complete list of the American
soldiers suffering from yellow fever, as
we'll as those who have lost their lives
from that disease. This information
will be telegraphed to the War De-
partment, and it is expected will serve
to allay the apprehensi0ns of the rela-
tiyes and friends of our soldiers.

FIRST EXPEDITION.
1t Sailed From Charleston for
Porto Rico Last Night.

CHARLESTON Is. c., July 20
With bands playing and 10000 people
cheering, the first expedition to follow
General Miles to Porto Rico got away
from here at o'clock this evening.
Major General j. H. Wilson, and Will,
when complete, consist of the Second
and Third Wisconsin, the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania Regiments and two COM
panies of the Sixth Illinois. The first
two regiments are on the transports
Grand Duchess and No. 30, respective
ly, and they are at sea. No. y, car
rying the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and
the Illinois men, is in the stream and
will sail early tomorrow morning.
Each of the ships carries a large guam
tity of supplies, and on the No. II there
are LOCO head of mules and the wagon
train of General Wilson's division.
These men, together with those of the
Sixth Illinois and Sixth Massachusetts,
which sailed from here last week for
Santiago, constitute the First Brigade
of the First Division of the First Army
Corps.
For two days and nights the work
of loading baggage and provisions on
the transports has been going forward
under rush orders. All the stevedores
in the city were employed at it. They
were assisted by details of men from
the various regiments and the 900 ne
gro laborers employed here by the
Government and destined for work on
the roads and bridges in Cuba. The

He is to Start at Once for the Sc

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Secretary
Alger said tonight that he expected
General Miles, one brigade Of infantry
and some artillery would leave Cuba
Immediately. under convoy of strong
naval squadron for the invasion of
Porto Rico. He expressed the hope
and belief that troops were already en-
route to Porto Rico. Most of them had
been on board the transports for several
days, and the situation was becoming
trying for them.
Secretary Alger said there had been
no delay in the embarkation of the
troops, and that, so far as the War De-
partment and General Miles were con-
cerned, the expedition had been in read
mess to proceed to Porto Rico for sew
eral days. Orders We're sent to-day to
Admiral Sampson to start at once with
his fleet for the landing place in Porto

by the war authorities.

intent. He lived and was sent to Spain.
He was released in 1877, when the
peace of Zenjon was declared.
Garcia at once set out for New York,
and organized an expedition TO Cuba.
He landed in Santiago de Cuba, but
was taken a prisoner a second time.
He eluded the vigilance of the prison
guards in Spain one night after fifteen
years Imprisonment and fled TO Eng
land.
Garcia was the promoter of the Haw-
kins expedition, which left this city in
January, 1896, with 800 men and a
large cargo of supplies and ammuni-
ton. The vessel sunk. He next fitted
out the Bermuda, which was seized
upon the eve of her departure in Febru-
ary. 1896, by United States Marshal
and his deputies. Garcia was arrested
and released on s., 800 bail. He at once
made another start and landed in Cuba
several days before the day set for his
trial in this city. Since then he has
been engaged in conducting the cam
paign of the Cubans against Spain in
the province of Santiago de Cuba.

the Balearic Islands.
The military code prescribes life inn
prisonment for any officer who includes
in the capitulation of his forces other
posts, which though dependent upon
his command, are not troops or places
included in the action which caused the

1t is doubtful, however, whether Gem

the British Foreign Office or the United
