TORAL'S PROPOSITION.
Would Surrender Santiago If Allowed

Would Surrender Santiago If Allowed
TO March Away Under Colors.
OFF JURAGUA, July 8, via Kingston,
Jamaica, July 1.-THE surrender of
Santiago was for mally offered by the
Spanish commander, General Toral,
but the conditions caused a prompt re-
fusal of the offer by General Shafter.
The negotiations, however, resulted
in the extension Of the armistice until
noon Sunday and white flags of truce
still float over the opposing armies.
General Toral's proposal contem-
plated the immediate surrender Of the
city, but he insisted that his army be
permitted to march away under arms
and flying colors, and declaring he
would fight to the last ditch unless the
conditions were accepted.
General Shafter replied that nothing
but unconditional surrender would be
accepted by him, but he agreed to ca.

tending the armistice.

WASHINGTON, July ll.-"The bonn.
bardment of Santiago has begun"
That was the verbal information OBJ
tanned during the afternoon at the war
department Almost Immediately
three bulletins were posted, the most
important of which was from General
Shafter. This dispatch announced
that General Torral, who succeeded
General Linares in command of the
Spanish forces in Santiago when the
latter was wounded, had declined to
surrender Internationally and that the
bonn bardment Of the town would be
begun by the army and navy about 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
The fact that the ombardment was
scheduled by Shafter to begin so late
in the day created some comment but
no explanation of it was offered. In
answer to question bearing upon that
point General Corbin said: II have
not the slightest information as to the
reasons General Shafter had for be.
ginning the bonn mbardment at the hour
he named but it was probable he was
ready just at that time. You can
speculate about that as we'll as / can"
Skaters Position Streng gthened.
Information received by the war de-
partment during the few days Of truce
indicates that General Shafter has ma.
terially strengthened his position. Dur.
ing the past week he has received rein
forcements of both artillery and in
fantry, and he now has nearly 90 seige
guns and number of 7.inch mortars,
besides lighter artillery at his disposal.
These guns, taken in connection with
the work that can be done by the fleet,
will, it is belle we'd, carry terror and de-
struction to Santiago.
The belief is held by the best in.
formed officials that General Torral,
the Spanish commander, will surren-
der when he finds it impossible to evac.
uate the city. Upon what grounds
this belief is based could not be ascer.
tanned, but that information to that
effect is in the hands of war officials
there is no doubt.
