TORAL OFFERED TO SURRENDER.

Prompt Refusal.

Conditions Attached to the Offer Caused a
Prompt Refusal.
A special from Juragua Saturday
says: Under flag of truce the sur
render of Santiago was formally offered
by the Spanish commander, General
Toral, today, but the conditions at
tached caused prompt refusal of the
offer by General Shafter. The nego-
tiations, however, resulted in the ex-
tension Of the armistice until noon
Sunday, and white flags of truce still
Aoat over the opposing armies. Gen.
eral Torals proposal contemplated the
immediate surrender of the city, but
he insisted that his army be permitted
to march away under arms and witt
flying colors and declared that he
would fight to the last ditch unless the
eondi ions were accepted.
General Shafter replied that nothing
but unconditional surrender would be
considered by him, but he consented
to cable the Spanish offer to Washing
ton, in the meantime extending the
armistice.

prisoners captured by the American
forces.

1t VIII Be Crime to Delay the Assault.
SIBoNEY Now that sixteen fresh
batteries of field guns have arrived at
Siboney and six heavy siege guns be
ing hauled over rough road to the
front there should be no more delay in
dealing with Santiago.
Our soldiers are lying in trenches
wet to the skin while deadly malarial
fever runs riot in our lines and dread
yellow jack threatens.
We have power now to smite down
this Spanish army which guards the
Spanish flag at Santiago. We have
with reinforcements at least 10000
men fit to fight, with forty eight guns
and twelve mortars, not to speak of
machine guns and dynamite guns car
ried by the Rough Riders.
We no longer have to fear the guns
of Cervera's fleet turned landward ON
our advancing lines.
1t will be crime to permit the
Spaniards to palaver and delay They
did that long before war was declared.
The city can be taken in one days
fight, with the adequate artillery now
at hand.
Immediate assault means the loss Of
few men on the field, but delay
means not only widespread disease in
our ranks, but the death of multitudes
of helpless and innocent inhabitants
Of Santiago.
The first exodus of non combatants
permitted during the past forty-eight
hours has revealed the fact that they
are actually starving to death. A
sudden assault will end it all.

TROUBLE WITH CUBANS.

Young, commanding the First Brigade,
cavalry division, left here for Key
West in bad health on board the Cher
okee He refused to issue further
rations to the Cubans until advices are
received from Washington in answer
to his expose of the situation here.
The Cubans refuse to assist in the
hospital and commissary departments,
claiming they are soldiers and not
laborers. The same answer was given
to General Baker when he asked the
Cubans to help open the roads for the
transportation of supplies to the front.
This, together with General Garcia's
not preventing the entrance of General
Pando's reinforcements into Santiago
de Cuba, has caused discomfort among
the officers and troops. General
Young has reported the situation to
the United States government. In
the meanwhile he has placed the Gu
bans in separate camp under police
regulations and has turned them over
to Miss Clara Barton for rations.

WITH THE ARMY. SIBoNEY, CUBA. -
How long will Santiago hold QUIT
That is the question asked throughout
the camp.
The entire civil government of the
city Of Santiago has surrendered and
come over to our lines for protection,
deserting the military and denouncing
the mad persistence in resisting, at
the expense of the destruction of San
tago.
The civil governor, Senor Ros; the
mayor, Senior Porrase, and the presi-
dent of the upper court of justice,
came to Caney. and delivered them
selves up to our forces. They had
been forbidden by General Toral to
leave the town, but, fearing death,
| they sneaked away, coming across the
mountains in crowd of other refu-
gees and as soon as possible revealed
their identity to the Americans. Or
ders were received to treat them with
every possible consideration for their
comfort

Of the poor were practically starving;
that rice and black bread constitute
| the only food obtainable; that the
Spanish losses in the two days fight
| ing were far greater than have been
reported or estimated, and that fur
|iher resistance was nothing short of
murder. -,
The general impression is that sur
render may come any moment. De-
serters and prisoners from the army
and the men captured from Cervera's
ships all agree in saying that the city
is in no condition to make stubborn
resistance.
Foreign representatives, deserters

Shafter the following dispatch, giving
as far as practicable up to July 6, a
statement of the total casualties in each

the army under his command as re-
suit of the recent fighting:

semblance of order, scrambled out Of
the entrenchments, knocked over tent
guys and other camp paraphernalia in
heros and sent up cheer after cheer
for the men who had passed safely
through the jaws of death to serve
their country.
Hobson, who reached Juragna in
advance of his companions, was taken
on board the New York imme diately.
AS Hobson clambered up the side and
stepped on board his vessel the harbor
rang with the shouts and cheers of his
comrades. He had little to say in re-
gard to his experiences, except that he
and his companions had been well
treated by the Spaniards and that they
were all in excellent health.
The Spanish authorities consented
to exchange Hobson and his men, and
truce was established for that pur-
pose. The place selected for the ex-
change was under tree between the
American and Spanish lines, two
thirds of mile beyond the entrench-
ments occupied by Colonel Woods
Rough Riders, near General Wheeler S
headquarters, and in the center of the
American line. The American pris-
oners left the Reipa Mercedes hos
pital, on the outskirts of Santiago,
where they had been confined, in
charge of Major Irles, Spanish staff
officer, who speaks English fluently.

meeting place ON foot, but were not
blindfolded. Colonel John Jacob As
tor and Lieutenant Miloy, accompa-
MED by Interpreter Maestro, were in
charge of the Spanish prisoners.
These consisted of Lieutenants Anne
lilo Volez and Aurelius, German, be-
longing to the Twenty-ninth Infantry,
who were captured at Ell Caney on
Friday last, and Lieutenant Aldofo
Aries and fourteen non-commis-
stoned officers and privates.
The Spanish prisoners were taken
through the American lines mounted
and blindfolded.
The meeting between Colonel As
tor and Major Irles was extremely
courteous, but very formal, and no
attempt was made by either of them to
discuss anything but the matter in
hand. Major Irles was given his
choice Of three Spanish lieutenants in
exchange for Hobson, and was also in
formed that he could have all the
fourteen men in exchange for the
American sailors. The Spanish officer
selected Lieutenant Aries, and the
other Spanish officers were conducted
back to Juragua.
1t was then not later than o'clock,
and just as everything was finished
and the two parties were separating,
Major Irles turned and said, courte-
ously enough, but in tone which in
dicated considerable defiance, and gave
his hearers the impression that he de-
sired hostilities to be renewed at once:
"Our understanding is, gentlemen,
that this. truce comes to an end at 5
o'clock" Colonel Astor looked at his
watch, bowed. to the Spanish officer
without making reply, and started
back slowly TO the American lines,
with Hobson and his companions fol-
lowing.

The administration has finally become
convinced that General Shafter is in

largely to his weight, to successfully
take charge of such an attack as is
necessary to reduce Santiago.
