Moral Cowardfce.

LONDON, July 21.-The Times, editorially,
reproaching the Spanish government with
moral cowardice in endeavoring to screen
its own mismanagement by pretending that
General Toral has betrayed his country"
says: 1T is incredible that Spain can hope
for anything from Cuba, as it is as impossi-
bic for Blanco as it was for Toral to fight
against hunger. and it is unlikely that the
former will have anything else to Gght with
for some time to come. Neither can any,
thing be hoped from European Intervention,
even If Commodore Watson's squadron
comes, though its arrival would be an un-
welcome spectacle to more than one Euro
pean power. 1t may be assumed that Com
modore Watson's authorization to visit the
Philippines will not weaken the disposition
at Berlin to cultivate friendly relations
with America and to make light of the esca-
pades Of German ships at Manila"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-07-21
AnOther Explanation.

MADRID, p m. July 20A semi-official
note has been published here, explaining
the circumstances, from a Spanish stand
point, of the surrender of Santiago de
Cuba. 1t declares that the letter which Gen.
Toral lis alleged to have written to Gen.
Shafter" is apocryphal, as the telegraph
version contains statement which 1t is
impossible for General Toral to have made,
because it is untrue that his government
authorized him to capttulate." The note con-
tinues: What happened was that the war
minister received two kilograms from Cap
tain General Blanco. The first described
General Toral's position, which was most
pitiful because Of the want of provisions
and ammunition. 1t also detailed the
enemy's proposals. In the second telegram
Captain General Blanco gave the terms of
the capitulation and requested instructions.
The war minister replied to both by tell
ing Captain General Blanco to leave every
initiative to General Toral, for it was i'm
possible to recommend any other line Of con-
duct. General Toral accordingly acted as
he thought advisable and would explain be-
fore court-martial the motives which in
duced him to capitulate"

there surrendered is calculated in some
measure to disturb the departments plans
for the shipment of these soldiers back to
Spain. The department is under obligations
not to place aboard the steamships that are
to be used for the conveyance of the troops
any soldiers having yellow fever, so it prob
ably will be necessary to place the surren-
dered camp under very rigid sanitary rules
and to sft out all persons showing the
least symptoms Of disease. When the others
have been isolated for a sufficient period to
make sure they have not contracted the
fever they will be ready to go aboard ship,
but it can be readily seen that the adoption
Of these precautions involves a considerable
delay in the return of the Spanish troops
to Spain, and it is doubtful if this move can
be initiated within a month. This delay is
unfortunate, in view of the possible trouble
ensuing from the presence Of the two ar
mics, as well as the Cubans at Santiago.
but as the Spanish officers have been, or
will be, paroed it is presumed they will
use their influence among the enlisted men
to prevent any friction.
Secretary Alger has cabled to General
Shafter, directing him to cause to be pre-
pared at the earliest possible moment
complete list of the American soldiers suf-
fering from yellow fever, as well as the
names of those who have lost their lives
from this disease. This information will be
telegraphed to the War Department, and,
1t is expected, will serve to allay the appre-
tensions of the relatives and friends of our
soldiers.

Third Wisconsin, the Sixteenth Pennsyl-
vania Regiments. and two companies of the
Sixth Illinois. The first two regiments are
on the transports Grand Duchess and No. 80
respectively, and they are at sea, No. n
carrying the Sixteenth Pennsylvania, and
the Illinois men are in the stream and will
sail early tomorrow morning. Each of the
ships carries large quantity of supplies.
and ON the No. 21 there are 1000 head of
mules and the wagon train of General Will
sons division. These men, together with
those of the Sixth Illinois and Sixth Massa-
chusetts, which sailed from here last week
for Santiago, constitute the First Brigade
of the First Division of the First Army
Corps.
For two days and nights the work of load
ing baggage and provisions on the trans
ports has been going forward under rush
orders All the stevedores in the city were
employed at it. They were assisted by de-
tails of men from the various regiments
and the five hundred negro laborers en-
ployed here by the government and destined
for work on the roads and bridges in Cuba.
The scene which accompanied the departure
of the vessels from their docks was one of
indescribable enthusiasm. Practically the
entire population of the city was in evil
dence AS the vessels made the stream the
bands on shipboard and ashore played ma
tionaI airs, and the thousands of people
cheered like mad. The expedition will sail
directly for Porto Rico.
