Off Juragua. Cuba, July 9, via Kings
ton, Jamaica, July 1.-THE surrender
of Santiago was formally offered by the
Spanish commander. General Toral, to-
day, but t. conditions attached caused
a prompt refusal of the offer by General
Shafter. The negotiations, however,
resulted in the extension of the ar
mistice until noon Sunday, and white
flags of truce still float over the oppos-
ing armies. General Torals proposal
contemplated the immediate surrender
of the city, but he insisted that his
army be permitted to march away un-
der arms and with flying colors, and
declared that he would fight to the last
ditch unless the conditions were aC-
oepted.
General Shafter replied that nothing
but unconditional surrender would be
considered by him, but he consented to
cable the Spanish offer to Washington.

day when little group of Spanish Off
sers, under flag Of truce, came out
from under the yellow wall of the be-
siege6 city and slowly made its way
toward the American line. A detail
was sent to meet them and they were
escorted TO comfortable quarters. while
the letter from General Tdral was car
risd to General Skaters tent two miles
from the front.
The letter was couched in the icily
courteous terms characteristic Of such
communications. and was trief as pos
sible. 1t bore the sienatu of General
Toral, who commands at Santiago since
General Linares was wounded. and
stated that he was prepared to sur

This. he explained meant that theSpan-

indicates thathe has materially strength
ened his position. During the past week
ne has received reinforcements of both
artillery and infantry. Randolph's
battery of twenty-four guns, which left
Key West last Tuesday at midnight. is
now in position before Santiago, and as
one of the war department officials ex-
pressed it: When those Long Toms OF
Randolph begin to talk something will
happen in Santiago" General Shafter
has neary fifty siege guns and a large
number Of seven-inch mortars, besides
lighter artillery at his disposal. These
guns, taken in connection with the work
that can be done by the fleet, it is be-
lieved, will carry terror and destruction
to Santiago.
Has the Spaniards Tight Enough.
Anxiety has been expressed by the
war department officials as to whether
General Shafter had a sufficient force
to prevent the evacuation of Santiago
by the enemy. This anxiety was allayed
about 1890 last night by the receipt of a
dispatch from General Shafter, which
also contained confirmation of the ear
lier reports of the beginning of the
bmbardment. 1.-THE dispatch is the one
dated Playa del Este, given above.
EC.1 The belief is held by the best in
formed officials that General Toral, the
Spanish commander will surrender
when he finds it will be impossible for
him to evacuate the city. Upon what
grounds this belief is based could not
be ascertained, but that information to
that effect is in the hands of the war
officials there is 20 doubt. General
Skaters dispatch last night shows
that he is engaged now in strength
ening his position and today will follow
up his operations with a final assault
upon the city.
Iowa Has an Undesirable Adjunct,
Naval officials feel that anotherch change
may have to be made in the make-up
of the eastern squadron which is to
strike blow against the Spanish coast.
as the battleship Iowa suffered some
hard knocks during the recent naval
battle with Cervera's squadron, and it
may be necessary to substitute one OF
the other battleships pending repairs on
the Iowa. According to Captain EvaAs'
story of the battle the Iowa was struck
tWic. by Spanish shells. and one shell
exploded, while the other is embedded
uneKploded near the water line of the
ship. This last shot may prove trouble
some, as an uneXploded shell near the
water line is not desirable adjunct to
battleship.
