THE TROOPS WILL
 ENCIRCLE THE CITY

WITH THE UNITED STATES SQUADRON, off Santiago de Cuba (via Playa del Este. July 13)-The cruisers Yale and Columbia, loaded with troops. steamed close inshore near Aguadores this afternoon. At the same time the New York. Brooklyn. Oregon, Masss- chusetts and Indiana were stripped for action. The Gloucester and Yosemite ran under the bluff as if to cover tha landing of troops. After maneuverine for two hours the Yale and Columbis returned to anchorage off Siboney Jt appears that the plan for landing tbe troops miscarried owing to the failure of the army to give the signal agreed upon. Another effort will be made to- morrow.
 The fleet will probably lombard the outer forts of Santiago simultaneouslv with the landing of troops alon~ inc beech In a combined movement with the army. The Cubans are now closing In on Santiago to the westward of Morro. Therefore the landing of troops at Aguadores will completely encircle the city, rendering the escape of the Spaniards impossible.
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-14

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs It is unconditional surrender or battle to a finish to begin at noon tomorrow. At last the climax in the military situation of Santiago has come.
 Yellow jack" has forced it. This dreaded disease has so aggravated an already ugly condition that the au- thorities in Washington have felt con- strained to give peremptory orders to cur military and naval commanders at Santiago that there shall be no more dickering for peace or delay under cover of flag of truce after the hour mentioned.
 These dispatches made public by the War Department this afternoon give the status of affairs at Santiago up to 6 late hour this afternoon:
 HEADQUARTERS NEAR SAN TIAGO, July 13.-Adjutant General. Washington. D. C.: Your telegram say ing no modification of orders allowed just received. Have had an interview Of an hour and a half with General Toral, and have extended zee until noon tomorrow. Told him that his surrender only-would be considered and that he was without hope of escape and had no right to continue the fight. l think it made a strong impression on him and hope for his surrender. If he refuses I will open on him at IF noon tomorrow with every gun I have and will have the assistance of the navy vessels, which are ready to Lombard the city with thirteen-inch shells.
 "SHAFTER" PLAYA DEL ESTE. July 13.-Secre- tary of War: At a meeting between the lines at which General Shafter and General Wheeler and the Spanish gen. eral. Toral were present. the latter claimed that he is unable to act with out authority of his Government but has received authority to withdraw and surrender the harbor forts. munitions or war and the eastern portion of Cuba lie urgently requests until tomorrow noon to receive an answer from his Government regarding the offer of our Government to send his forces to Spain. which was granted.
 MILES. Major General Commanding. On the bulletin giving General Miles dispatch was written underneath the following:
 Permission to withdraw was de- clined by the War Department.
 "R. A. R." These dispatches. important as they are give only the military side. Other messages showing that yellow fever has broken out among the troops which have not been made public in detail add still gloomier chapter to the story of the day and have so alarm ed the President and his official advis- CTS that orders of most positive char acter have gone to the commanders be- fore Santiago, which admit of no fur ther delay than afternoon tomorrow in taking Santiago.
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-14

The authorities have almost ceased to the Spanish troops until forced to do so by shot and shell.
 At this hour as far as heard from, 1t rests with the Madrid authorities as to whether General Toral will surrender before noon tomorrow. The breaking out of yellow fever among our troops, will, it is feared. encourage Spain to refuse in the hope of prolonging the in- evitable.
 The rnessag ges sent to General Shafter and General Miles to-day have not been made public, The only official statement given out in connection with the dispatch from General Miles Is that permission to withdraw has been de clined by the War Department" It is known, however, that as a result of deliberations in the special Cabinet meeting, which lasted for two hours to-day, important dispatches were sent to military and naval commanders at Santiago, both in relation to the mili- tary operations and the handling of yellow fever cases.
 In referring to that feature of Gen eral Miles dispatch in reference to an offer of our Government to send the Spanish forces back to Spain, Secretary Alger said this evening that it had been determined if General Toral surrend- cred internationally without further fighting the Spanish troops would be sent back to Spain. But the Secretary says if this is done they must go back to Spain as prisoners of war and that nothing short of unconditional sur render at noon tomorrow will prevent the joint attack of both the army and navy, which will be waged unceasingly until Santiago has fallen. The proposi- ton to send the Spanish prisoners back to Spain does not necessarily mean a conditional surrender, the Secretary says. but 1t is only what the adminis- tration proposes to do voluntarily after the surrender occurs.

policy all the reports from Ma nila agree that the Spaniards have been greatly encouraged to fight by the presence and actions of the German squadron.
 Aguinaldo has admitted that the Ger mans and Spaniards made certain over lures to him. The German warships have taken a priest from Subig and the Spanish sick from Olongapop to Manila.
 The situation otherwise is unchanged. Admiral Dewey has been engaged in putting his ships in complete order to fight the Spanish reserve squadron. General Anderson Is taking his men ashore and organizing them for ac- tive service as soon as the taking of the city is desirable. The Spanish steamer Filiqua, a fine merchant craft of 1900 tons, was captured by the rebels. General Aguinaldo announces he has captured all the remaining Spanish troops outside of Manila, numbering 5000 This is probably an exaggeration.
 General Anderson few days ago had a long talk with Agt1inaldo who asked him whether the United States intend ed to assume the rights of sovereignty over the Philippines. General Ander- son replied that he had no authority to speak for the Government, but that we have been an independent nation for 122 years without having sought to ac- quire new colonies. General Aguin- aldo said he did not believe the United States had such an intention. He had read the constitution of the United States carefully and could not find in it a provision for colonial possessions. He did not fear that we would occupy the islands permanently.

MANILA, July 9, via Hong kong, July 13.-General Aguin- aldo on July 6 sent an armed steamer to Isla de Grande in Su- big Bay to capture the island, whereupon the German cruiser Irene intervened. That was re- ported to Rear Admiral Dewey, who sent the Raleigh and Con- cord with orders to take the isl and and hand 1t over to the insur- gents.
 The Raleigh fired several shots. One six-inch shell hit the com mandant's house, causing a white flag to be raised. Four hundred Spaniards with arms, 100 who are i'll, 100 women and 100000 rounds of ammunition were handed over to Aguinaldo. These soldiers were driven over to the mainland by the insurgents.
 When the American ships ap- peared i'll the bay the German cruiser Irene slipped her cable and sailed into Marivels. Five German warships continue to cir culate around the bay, keeping two colliers at Marivels Bay.

COPPER REFINING.

Copper in its native state or in combina ton
with other metals minerals is widely dis
iributed throughout the United States and its
mines rank next in importance 10 those Of gold
and iron.
The Eastern States are rich in copper, and
far back 1850 it was named among the min
erals Of New England. In 1860 and previous to
that time the Dutch were engaged in mining
copper near New Brunswick. in New-Jersey.
and in 11IG eighty tons Of copper. valued at
100 ton. were exported from New-York. Old
timers in Wall Street will recall the Lake Su-
perior copper fever Of 1S43. when fortunes
made and lost in the Street in copper specula-
ton.
The reduction Of, copper ore requires that the
work shall be done where fuel is plentiful and
cheap and consequently the smelling is seldom
done at the mines
The natural advantages Of New-York. with
its unlimited coal supply, its abundant water
and railroad facilities and its convenient loca-
ton. have made this point favoiite one FOR
those who have TO be refined. The process
of smelling and refining calls for large capital
and skill. in which respects the NeW-York firms
are in no way lacking, and the reliability ana
integrity Of the firms engaged IN the business
are such as to invite trade from all OF the MN
ing territory OF the country.
