GEN. SKATER
Assumes Full Responsibility for the
Santiago Campaign--Wives and
Children Of Spanish Officers to Go
Home.

Santiago, July 2S.-10:15 a. m.-(De-
layed in transmission)- Major General
Shafter is desirous that it should be
known that the United States war de-
partment has in no way interfered with
the conduct OF the campaign. The gen.
eral adds that he was never hampered
by the war department and that if the
campaign in this vicinity had failed
the fault would have been all his own.
The departments only participation in
the operations was in ratifying the
terms of the Spanish surrender.
Gen. Shafter has requested that these
statements be published, in view of the
fact that the war department has been
criticised for faulty management.
Gen. Shafter has received advices
that two Spanish transports, one Of
them being a hospital ship, have left
the island of Martinique. They are ex-
pected here tomorrow.
In addition three Spanish transports
left Cadiz yesterday and four others
are to leave Cadiz on July 30.
These vessels are capable of carry
ing about coo troops, and the en-
barkation will begin when all the yes
sells are here. 1t Is expected that all
the Spanish prisoners of war will be
embarked by August Is.
The American commander has au-
thorized the Spanish officers who COM
maIded the troops that came to San
tiago during the siege from Manzanillo,
to send for their wives and families,
in order that they may be able to take
them back to Spain at the govern
ment's expense. In all there are about
$50 women and children.
The telegraph operator at Manzanillo
notified the authorities here that Capt.
Gen. Blanco at first refused to permit
the delivery of messages sent by these
officers to their families, but later, I'M
der a protest from Gen. Snafter, the
Captain allowed the messages 10 be de-
livered.
The American General has also au-
thorized the Spanish officers to char
ter p schooner at Manzanillo for the
purpose Of bringing their families from
there to this port, but no vessel was
available and other plans are now I'M
der way. Probably schooner will lie
sent from here to ManzaniIlo, unde.,
flag OF truce, to fetch the wives aud
children of the Spanish officers.

RIOS is RUFFLED
But He Has Accepted General Skaters
Orders and is Still on Duty at
Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, July %, 1:25 p. m.
delayed in transmission)- Major
General Shafter says he has not made
certain statements attributed to him
in an interview on the subject of the
attitude assumed by Gen. Garcia and
he explains that the alleged trouble
between himself and Senior Res, the
civil governor of Santiago, is a very
small matter indeed. Senior Ros is ruff
fed at Gen. Shafter not allowing him
complete control of the civil admins
tratiCn of the entire section of the
province Of Santiago de Cuba, which
has been surrendered to the American
forces. Senior Ros considers himself
the supreme civil authority, basing his
claim upon the state paper issued by
President Mckinley on July IS and
providing in general terms for the gov
eminent of the province of Santiago
de Cuba, which contains the following
clause: "The judges and other officials
tOinOCtSQ Wluu liC Va
justice may, if they accept the suprem
acy of the United States, continue to
administer the ordinary law of the
land, as between man and man, under
the supervision of the American COM
mander-in- chief"
Senior Ros, it is understood, resents
Gen. Skaters so-called interference
with his duties. A little cloud arose
over the fact that Senior Ros dis
charged three employees and substitu-
ted for them three of his own friends
The discharged employees complained
to Gen Shafter, who ordered their re-
instatement. Since then Senior Ros
has been slightly ruffled. but he is con-
tinuing to discharge his duties as Gen
eral Skaters subordinate.
The trouble was really insignificant,
but Senior Ros and his three friends
being Cubans, the matter was magni-
fed in their circles Senior Ros simply
Cbeyed Gen. Skaters orders without
protest, though he may have murmur-
ed behind his back.

possible that there is an important
connection between these two
items of news, one the surrender
of Manila and the other Augustus
replacement, both coming from
Spanish sources. AS to the latter
it was frankly stated in the Span
ish dispatch that the purpose was
to prevent Augusti from surrend-
ering the entire Philippine group
SO that it is conceivable that hav-
ing now arranged the matter so as
to protect their interests In the
remaining islands so far as posi-
BILE and having placed themselves
in position to deny that the Uni
ted States government had made
the conquest of the Philippines,
the Spanish ministry may have d.
rected August to surrender the
small jurisdiction remaining to
him to the United States to pre-
vent it from falling into the hands
Of the insurgents. AS this matter
would have a decided bearing on
any programme the United States
may outline respecting the acqui-
sltion of coaling station in the
Philippines, or the requirement of
the entire group Of islands, official
reports as to the exact state Of af-
fairs are anxiously awaited.

A New York dispatch says:
The daughter OF Sam Small. TIE
evangelist, Is in New York to make
arrangements for her stage debut in
the fall. And If a romantic career.
coupled with a piquant and charming
personality can win success Lola Small
Jackson-Ford should find few obsta-
cles in the road to fame.
Though only twenty-four, she has
been twice tie heroine Of divorce
case, though the second has thus far
resulted in nothing more than legal
separation.
Lola Small passed her girlheod in
Atlanta, Ca, where her fathers vogue
as a preacher of the Gospel was
equalled in intensity by his daughters
love of the pleasures of the world. Gay
and fun-loving, the typical light-heart-
ed Southern girl, her early marriage to
the eldest son of Major r. c. Jackson.
the biggest capitalist in the country,
was regarded favorably by the friends
of both.
The Jacksons removed to Knoxville,
Tenn, where in 1895 Mrs. Jackson
sought and obtained divorce from her
husband on grounds of dissipation and
desertion, and got the custody of their
daughter, Isabel, then five years old.
1t was only a few months later that
Lola Small again ventured upon the
sea of mat imony, this time with stew
art Ford, of Richmond. Va. In two
years Stewart Ford appea,ed to the
courts with such allegations against
his wife that Sam Small himself took a
hand in the counter suit filed by his
daughter. He prepared the document
signed by her lawyer, and portrayed
his son-in-law as "a drunkard, a
gambler end loafer."
The suit was withdrawn by agree
merit OF both parties and alimony and
dover arranged for Mrs. Ford.
When seen by a reporter at the
Marlborough Hotel yesterday Lola
Small gave little hint of the woman
who has seen the shipwreck of her
happiness. About feet inches in
height, with a 1.-THE, graceful figure;
har {c, oir in
IRENE. A quantity Of brown hair and
a pair of dancing brown eyes lent
color to the impression.
ut is quite true l am going to adopt
the stage as profession" she said,
with just trace Of the Southern &C
cent in her speech, land that l have
had no experience save as an amateur
| have no illusions about it; don't
imagine it is easy and have no ambi-
lions to raise the stage" with a shake
of her brown head.
Mrs. Lola S,mall-Jackson-F Ford ad-
mitted prediction for farce-comedy
line, though she has as yet closed with
no one.
II have even been interviewed by a
f1drdScr as 10 L UUJect

mace. Il certainly do not if they were
requisite to a role"
Last year she studied with Robert
Downing for Shakespearian debut,
but later abandoned this idea. Her
little daughter. a pretty five-year- old,
Is her companion and will be, the
mother avows, throughout her career.
Sam Small, en- route to join his regi-
ment to embark for Honolulu as army
chaplain, passed through town a few
days since and had long conference
with Mrs. Jackson" as she is best
known He is in thorough sympathy
with his daughters plans.

MADRID, July 29.--9 a. m.-Referring to
the prospects of peace, the Correspon-
denoia, an independent semi-official news
paper, says to-day:
While the government has asked for
peace without STIMULATING preliminary
suspension of hostilitIes, 1t is supposed
that an arulistice Will be declared as soon
as a basis is agreed upon, and pending
definite settlement. None Of these bases
has yet been submitted, but among the
conditions mentioned Is one relative to
an international conference in London to
arrange the future Of the Philippine ISL
ands We do not believe the Americans
will propose such a conference, because
they have no interest In doing so and
could not derive any benefit therefrom.
Neither is the Spanish government favor
able to such a conference, considering
that the negotiations which il has opened
directly with the United States are bet
ter calculated to secure a good under
standing between the two countries"
1t is understood that the Spanish trans
ports Isla de Panay and Isla de Luzon
will sail from Cadiz to-day for Santiago
de Cuba to-day in order to embark the
Spanish prisoners of war.

SAGASTA A FAKER.
Positive Evidence That Bis State.
ment Concerning Peace Negotia'
items Was Untrue.

Washington July 29.-In diplomatic
quarters it is stated the peace propo
sitions took form in Madrid Friday last
and not until then had the Spanish
Cabinet itself determined to risk
direct proposition OF peace. Before
that day there were doubtless more or
less talk In the line of a peace propc-
sition, but as stated, it was not finally
agreed upcn as the government policy
OF Spain. On that day Duke Almodo-
var de Rio, Spanish minister fol for
eign affairs, drafted the Spani:h pro-
posal to this government and it was
formally agreed that it should be pre-
seated direct to President Mckinley,
the French ambassador at Washington
acting as medium OF communication.
The proposal was cabled to Ambassa-
dor CamI0on in cipher, but before act
ing he advised with his government az
to their wishes. In the meantime the
State Department received no intima-
ton from the ambassador that Spain
was about to present this peace pro-
position. The instructions from Paris
came last Monday night, too late for
the presentation of SPANS proposal
that day. On Tuesday the State De-
partment was asked to arrange for
call by the ambassador on the Presi-
dealt, and this being set for o'clock.
the proposal for peace for the first
time was made known to the United

all cognizance OF SPANS purpose to sue
for peace dates from o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. 1t may be said that at no
previous time had the French am
bassador or any representative of the
French embassy spoken on the subjec.
of peace to any official of this govern
ment. The French government had
not-and has not now-authorized any
peace overtures or inquiry relating to
peace, nor had the Spanish government
prior to the written communication Of
last Friday, reached the definite deter
mination to sue for peace.
With these facts established beyond
question the statement attributed to
Premier Sagasta that 1--WE (Spain) re-
solved On peace many days ago and
made known our resolutions TO the
United States government" is discrcdit-
ed with great positiveness in those di-
plomatic quarters having the most in
telligent knowledge of the situation.
The report, it is pointed out, comes by
way of London, which is regarded as
furnishing a reason for this indirect
effort to prejudice the negotiations.
