Ell CANEY, July 6 (yia Kingston,
July O.-Between 1900 and $4,000 in
nocent victims of the war have fled
here in wild panic to escape the terrors
of the threatened bombardment Of San
tiago, and they are now confronted by
the horrors of starvation. In their
helpless confusion they are appealing
to Gen. Shafter for succor Most Of
them are foreigners, principally French
or with an admixture of foreign blood
and their interests are being looked af-
ter by their consuls.
When they were Informed yesterday
that Gen. Toral refused to consider the
question of surrendering, they swarm
ed out OF the north gate of the city all
day and trudged through the blazing
sun over the road which in places was
| ankle deep in mud. lettering Old men
and women were supported by children,
and mothers with babes at their breasts
struggled on toward Ell Caney, San
| Luis and other towns.
Most of them came here last night
and over 5000 slept In the village,
which, under ordinary circumstances,
! hardly accommodates three hundred
people. They were crowded together
in the houses, upon the verandas and
in the streets. At daylight those who
had been overtaken by darkness on the
wayside, began to pour in, and at this
hour they are still coming. Already
more than fifteen thousand are here.
They were not allowed to bring food
with. them, and those who have money
| are as destitute as those who are with

norant, white and black, are huddled
together, choking the passa e-ways

pair written on their countenances.

and the cultured want to get away,
anywhere, anyhow, away from the war
which has driven them from their
homes.
Pathetic sights are witnessed on all
sides. There are women Of good birth
and education, supported by frail girls,

gaze of the others who surge about
them. In the eyes 3of. both mothers
and daughters is the hunted look which

Then, Immediately on ascertaining
that reinforcements could not possibly
arrive in time to retrieve the Spanish
fortunes of war on land or save Santa

Saturday asking the advice Of Admiral
Cervera.
He demanded carte blanche to fol-
low his Judgment, and to destroy his
vessels in the Bay of Santiago, rather
than let them fall into the hands Of
the enemy.
The council of ministers thereupon in
structed the ministers of marine and Of
war to cable to Admiral Cervera to
make a sortie at any cost, even at the
risk CT the destruction Of his fleet, be-
cause it was necessary to- prevent
disaster in the Bay OF Santiago, fer po-
litical and dynastic reasons. s,i
Admiral CerYera cabled in reply:
Il will obey, and go to my doom
Sunday morning"
When the news of the sortie of the
fleet reached Madrid the minister of
foreign affairs told several of the am
tassadors that the government had or
dered CerVera to 60 out.

Cable Operators Fixed Wires for

WASHINGTON, July Tt was con-
fidently expected by the war depart

in Santiago working the English ca
BILE to Jamaica left their station and
took refuge on the English ship the
Spanish officials in Cuba would be en-
tirely cut off from communication with
the home government. This apparent
ly is not the case, If a rumor which
reached Gen. Greedy, the chief signal
officer of the army during the day, is
correct. This was to the effect that
before leaving their station in Santa
