ALL THE BLAME ON T0RAL.
The Spanish Governm ment Avoids All Re-
sponsibiiity of the Surrender.


MADRID, July ga semi-official
note has been published here,
explaining the circumstances,
from Spanish standpoint, of the sur
render of Santiago de Cuba. 1t de-
clares that the letter which General
Toral lis alleged 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 au-
thorized him to capitulate."
The note continues: "What hap
pened was that the war minister re-
ceived two kilograms from Captain
General Blanco. The first described
General Toral's position, which was
most pitiful because of the want of
provisions aad ammunition. 1t also
detailed the enemy's proposals.
I'm the second telegram, Captain
General B1anco gave the terms of the
capitulation and requested instruc-
tions. The war minister replied to
both by telling Captain General Blanco
to leave every initiative to General
Toral, for it was impossible to recon-
mend any other line of conduct. Gen
eral Toral, accordingly, acted as he
thought advisable and would explain
before a court-martial the motives
which induced him to capitulate.

Been Reinforced by the Arrival of the
Second Expedition and He Now Has
5000 Soldiers-Others on the Way.

MANILA, July II. Rear Admiral
Dewey may decide to capture Manila
before General Merritt arrives here.
In view of the possibility of an early
peace and the news from Cuba, the in
surgents are renewing their activity.
There have been vigorous attacks and
slight bombardment on the ont
skirts of the city, to which the Span
iards replied with an eXtravagant
shelling.
The Spaniards now say they do not
believe the reinforcements promised
them will ever reach here and they
despair of success. But they condemn
the proposal to retire to the citadel,
which is utterly defenseless, as such a
step would merely invite slaughter.
Therefore they believe it would be bet
ter to surrender, though fearing pub
lie censure. However, they will prob
ably be compelled to surrender soon,
as food is dangerously scarce. They
may pretend to fight the Americans
for the sake of appearances. but the
result will not be long in doubt If

THEIR FARE A HALF MILLION.
The Prisoners Will BE Sent Home Under
the Spanish Flag.

WASHINGTON, July %. = Arrange
ments were practically concluded by
the government last night for the
transportation of the Spanish prison
ers at Santiago from Cuba to Spain.
The contract was awarded to the
Spanish Trans -Atlantique Company,
represented by ]. M. Ceballos & Co., of
carry the prisoners from Cuban ports
to Spain at the rate of $50 for each
enlisted man and $55 for each commits
stoned officer, subsistence to be fur
nished by the company on the army
ration basis, as provided for in the
government advertisement for bids.
The award provides also that the
company shall have five ships at Santi-
ago in nine days from to-day, two in
seventeen days from to-day and enough
to complete the transportation of the
prisoners in twenty-one days from to-
day.
On the basis of 24,OOO enlisted men
and l 1000 officers, it will cost the gov
ernment $535, 900 to transport the pris-
oners.
The ships will fly the colors of Spain
and will be manned, probably entirely,
by Spanish crews
1t was remarked as one of the
curious developments of the war that
the United States government should
enter into a friendly contract with a
company, many of whose vessels are
auxiliaries to the Spanish navy and
some of which have been captured or
destroyed by the navy of the United
States.

MADRID NEWS FROM MANILA.
Declares That 1t Is Favorable In Char

aCGer anu Che6Es Cp'
MADRID, July 22.-Senor Sagasta
and General Correa, minister of war,
declare that the latest news from the
Philippines is of the most favorable
character. General Correa's advices
indicate that the insurgents are now
displaying ''only a lukewarm hostility
toward the Spanish troops"
Captain General Augusti sends an
official dispatch asserting, under date
of July IA, that while the blockade is
becoming very strict, the enemy has
lost heavily in several recent engage
ments, ''by which the morale of the
American forces has been weakened
and the Spaniards have been greatly
encouraged" The dispatch alleges
also that ''the garrison is ready to
fight to the DEATH" and that General
Monet and several officers who had
escaped from Matabebe, have arrived
there.
Captain General August concludes
as follows: "Modestly, and without
exaggeration, which is contrary to my
character, l have described with loyal
candor the situation, to which l am
consecrating all my efforts for my
country and my king"

Rupture of All Connection Between the

Rupture of All Connection Between the
Two Armies Reported From Santiago.
New YORK, July ga dispatch to
the New York Journal from Santiago,
dated July 20, says that General Gar
cia has written a letter to General
Shafter declaring that he is disgusted
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans and will therefore with
draw his forces to the hills.
Among the things of which General
Garcia complains is the failure of the
American commander officially to
notify him of the surrender of the
Spanish force under General Toral.
He is also incensed at the alleged fact
that he was not invited to be present
at the ceremony attending the formal
capitulation of Santiago. Another
grievance is the retention of the Span
ish civil authorities in the administra-
tion of their functions in Santiago.
