IF LINARES WILL HAVE

Washington, July IA war conference
was held today at the White House. There
were present Secretaries Long and Alger
General Miles, Admiral Sicard Captain
Crowninshield and Captain Mahan. The
conference lasted about an hour and a
half. At its close it was learned from a
high source that the conference YVES held
for the purpose of going over the situation

rush an attack on the city as reacwhed
1t is stated that the administration is

affairs there at a costly sacrifice of lives
or ships. 1t is confidently believed that
Genera! Linares Will surrender when he
learns that the American army is to be
reinforced by 1900 or $1,000 men. No in
formation on this subject has been re-
ceived from any quarter but the officials
believe that the Spanish general will see
the utter hopelessness of the situation and
yield to the inevitable. If however, the
Spaniards persist in needlessly sacrificing
the lives of their own men and ours, all
the strength of our army and navy will
be hurled against them with a view to
putting an end to the struggle in the
shortest possible time.
The question of directing General Miles
TO take command of the Porto Rican ex-
petition was not brought up in the con-
ference nor were any matters discussed
that did not directly pertain to opera
tons in front of Santiago

p. m.-The French and Portuguese con-
suls have continued their conference look
ing TO the relief of the refugees from San
tiago. They called on General Shafter
this morning, reported that the refugees
were wholly destitute and begged for
American aid. The general promised to
afford the exiles a limited daily supply
OF food at Ell Caney and other towns in
Spanish territory, where they get nothing
from Spain.
The consuls were very guarded in their
references to the situation at Santiago,
but they painted it worse than reported by
the refugees. They claimed that the garri-
son only numbers 5000 men. The accuracy
Of this is doubted.
The hospital conditions OF our army are
improving. Forty ambulances are now in
service and there are many empty tents
The wounded are nearly all at Juragua
The headquarters hospital has been
cleared in expectation of the next assault
The number Of sick is increasing rapidly.
