FLEEING FROM SANTIAGO.
On-Combatant+ Hurrying from the
Dreaded OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rds
Determined to Fight II Out.

OFF JARAdUA, July 8.-The roads
leading from Santiago de Cuba have
been black with people fleeing from
the dreaded bombardment by the
Americans. A flag of truce has hoated
over the walls of the city and above
the intrenchments of the besieging
army all day. The unofficial armistice
which terminated at noon yesterday
was extended until to-day noon, at
the request of the foreign consuls, and
during the lull in the fighting the
Spanish commander has permitted all
non.combatants to leave. This fact
is generally accepted among the
officers at headquarters as an indica-
ton of a grim determination on the
part of the Spanish to fight it out.
The negotiations looking to the sur.
render of the city have not been con.
cluded, as no formal reply to Gen.
Skaters last demand has been re-
celved, but not one of the hundreds
who fled from the city believed that
surrender was possible.

A STORY ABOUT SCHLEY.
Alleged Facts AZ to WHY the Blufr Com

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE reason
why Commodore Schley has not figured

about Santiago developed in the state.
ment of an official Of the navigation
bureau. He said that Secretary Long
some time ago threatened to court
martial the bluff commodore for dis.
obeying orders, but was induced by
the president to forego that and to
supersede Schley, then in command
Of the blockading fleet, with Admiral
Sampson. The trouble, said this Off
cial, grew out of Commodore Schley's
failure to locate Cervera at Santiago
and in his remaining two days at Glen
fuegos while the Spanish admiral was
In Santiago harbor. 1t is also said
that Commodore Schley proceeded on
the old-fashioned idea that the COM
mander Of the feet was better Judge
of what should be done at sea than
the bureau officials at Washington,
and his procedure along this line led
to the threat of court-martial and sub
sequent superseding by Sampson.
