Inc commissioner was the bearer OF 9
dispatch in which the Spanish general sci
forth that he would agree to the capitula'
ton of the city provided that his troops
were allowed by the Americans to retain
their flags and side aims and march tc
Holguin to join General Luque, 20 miles
unmolested start being given them. II his
terms of surrender were accepted, Tora
agreed not to destroy the ships in the har-
Dor, the guns and ammunition in the forts
or the buildings in the city.
Ata conference Of Skaters generals,
the majority of them, General Wheeler
leading, were in favor Of accepting the
terms on the ground that the Spaniards
can march out to the westward at any
time. -
Sunday morning, however, General
Toral was notified that at President Nc
Kinley's direction his proposition for the
surrender Of the garrison was rejected,
and that the United States would accept
no terms but unconditional surrender.
General Toral then replied that he would
discuss no terms but his own and he was
at once told that the armistice would be
terminated and hostilities resumed at A
o'clock.
At 5.15 Sunday afternoon the lombard
ment began and was continued for an hour
by the fleet, but many of the shots fell
short, owing to the great elevation re-
quired to throw them over the cliff.
When the bombardment began heavy
rain storm was in progress, with thunder
and lightning, but the artillery fire could
be heard on shore, indicating that Gen.
Shafter had resumed hostilities immediate
ly on the ending of the armistice.
At dusk the squadron ceased firing, and
the American soldiers prepared to spend
the night in the trenches. A telegram
from Shafter reported that Captain Rowell
and Private Peter Nelson of the I'd In
fantry were killed, and lieutenant and
three privates were wounded.
COMMANDMENT RESUMED.
At $50 Monday morning the cruiser
Newark resumed the bombardme mt of the
city by the fleet, opening fire with her
eight-inch guns, and was joined by the
New York, Brooklyn and Indiana. The
bomba rdment lasted for two hours, and
one shot struck church in the city which
contained great quantity Of powder and
ammunition, causing terrible explosion.
When the warships ceased firing and be-
ore General Shafter began his land attack
flag Of truce was seen coming from the
;ity.
sHAFTER's DISPATCH.
A dispatch from General Shafter re-
ceived at Washington Monday night reads
Is follows:
"Tbe day has been very quiet with but
little fighting. A flag of truce has been up
since 2 o'clock for considering the propo-
'ition Of surrendering now.
81 have the town surrounded on the
north. The lines were completed at 5 P.
NJ. by Gen. Ludlow right down to the bay.
The line is rather thin, but will be strength
,ned in the morning by Gen, Henry, who
1as just arrived. There have been only
hree or four casualties, none killed. / ex-
oect to have two new batteries in position
"There is great suffering among the peo-
Die who have gone out of Santiago. Am
loing my best to relieve them, but am rot
entirely successful. [Signed] Shafter."

that three of the Spanish vessels can be

the Vizcaya. If this is true one of them
will probably be rechristened the Maine,

conditions Of peace: The possession Of
Cuba and Porto Rico with port in the
Canaries, an indemnity of about $240, ,O00,-

as guarantee of the indemnity, and these

The are at present three candidates
for the cbapla'n,y of the state senate. They
are Rev. George W. Morrow Of Randolph,
Rev. Henry W. Bailey of Middletown

is confidently expected that more parsons

to Santiago, covering the distance in about
two days and half, and carried with the

regiments of General Garretson's brigade.
1t is understood that while General Miles
assumes the responsibility of the siege,
General Shafter will continue to direct ac-

Potatoes delight in a moderately
low temperature and moist but
well drained soil. Avoid the use
of fresh stable manure, and if
practicable to avoid it, do not
plant the same land two wears
consecutively-this is favorable
to the production of scab. A good
fertilizer for acre of potatoes will
be 600 pounds acid phosphate,
400 pounds of kainit and 200
pounds of cotton seed meal. Po-
tatoes may be planted now if the
seed is covered four to six inches
deep. We like the early beauty
OF Hebron for an early variety

now for early table use and again

THE GREAT PARADE
Elaborate Fireworks and Other At.
tractive Features Of Celebration

Superintendent Drain has assured the
Fourth of July executive committee that
Spring street from Fifth street north will
be in passable condition by the Fourth for
the great parade, which promises to sur
pass any similar occasion in the history Of
the CITY, 1t will not only be the observance
of our great national holiday, but it will
also be grand jubilee for Dewey's vic
tory at the Philippines and other signal
triumphs of the war.
Reports of the finances coming in show
that some of the committees are working
slowly, but it will be definitely known by
the next meeting how much money can be
raised. The success of the celebration
depends on the liberal responses received
by the financial committees. The execu-
tive committee is taking under advisemen,
the matter of offering prizes for the best
decorated business house.
The decorations this year will be quite
novel and the most elaborate ever attempt
ed In the city, and will consist entirely Of
American flags hung across the streets and
from every trolley wire. A vote of thanks
was rendered George p. McLain, at the
meeting yesterday. for the use Of a largs
