SPAIN UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Constitutional Rights Have Been sus-
pended BY Royal Decree.

The Madrid official Gazette published
a decree Friday temporarily suspending
throughout the Spanish peninsula the
rights Of individuals guaranteed by the
constitution. The decree adds that the
government will render an account to
parliament Of the use it may make of
this measure The publication Of the
decree is generally accepted as being
convincing proof that Spain is now ready
to sue for peace and that negotiations
to that effect are actually in progress,
The government wishes to hare full
power to suppress any evidences Of dis
content or rebellion wherever they ap-
pear. The Carlists are furious and are
sure to attempt to create trouble.
One minister expressed the convic-
ton that official oyertures for peace Will
be made before Sunday and there is
reason to believe France has offered her
services to Spain, and that Spain has
drawn up conditions for peace which
offer basis for negotiation. Premier
Sagasta is quoted as saying that Spain
wants peace, but that 1t must be an
honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
THE army" the premier is said to
have added, is anxious to resist to the
last, but the government cannot con-
sent to such useless sacrifice. Had
we our feet the situation would be very
different.
4 decree of the captain general Of
Madrid, which has been affixed to the
walls of this city, says DEGREES suspend
ing the constitutional guarantees
throughout the kingdom having been
published and state of war existing,
it is ordered that no meetings take place
without the previous authorization Of
the military authorities. 1t is also for
biddcn to publish without previous
authorization any writings, engravings
or designs whatever. The decree con-
concludes with specifying the punish
ment which will be meted out to those
who disregard the orders issued.

Spain Wants Peace

The Madrid correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph says: The
government has definitely decided to
open peace negotiations without delay,
proposing as a basis the remuneration
of all rights over Cuba and the imme
diatc concession ef any reasonable pro-
posal the United States may make.
The Madrid correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail says: Despite the Of
fetal dcnials, it is strongly suspected
that preliminary negotiations for peace
are already under way in the shape Of
indirect inquiries regarding the terms
Of America which Spain might accept.
1t is asserted that NJ Cambon, the
french ambassador at Washington, and
Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff British
ambassador at Madrid, are acting re-
spectively on behalf of Spain and
America in the conduct of inquiries
which at present are quite informal.
Duke Almodovar de Rio. minister Of
foreign affairs. and Senior Gamazo,
minister Of public institutions, have
been appointed by the government to
conduct the negotiations. Sen.rGamazo
said Thursday to a newspaper repre-
sentative: i cannot talk on the sub
ject. as any indiScrction might spoil the
work and create difficulties

Eleven Persons Killed.

Two explosions, which killed eleven
men, wounded about 20 others and
wrecked two buildings, occurred ct the
Latin Rand powder works at Pompton,
N. j., Tuesday morning. The first ex-
plosion was in the house where gun-cot-
ton was being made and the second,
presumably superinduced by conclusion,
was in the drying room, close by. Three
men were in the mixing room when the
explosion occurred, and they were blown
to atoms. Chief Engineer Craig, who
in the engine room, had his hand
crushed to a jelly in the wreckage Of
the boiler house, the side of which was
blown out. John Philips was standing
near a tree some distance from the mix
ing house. His head was blown from
his body and was picked up so feet
away.

NOW FOR PORTO RICO.
Thought That Resistance VIII Not
Amount to Very Much.

Next is Porto Rico, said Secretary
Alger, after receiving the news Of San
tiago's formal surrender, and then, if
need be. Habana. The secretary was
in excellent spirits. He has been more
anxious than he dared show as to the
condition Of our sick soldiers and look
ed with apprehension upon the posi-
bility of a prolongation Of the struggle
in the unhealthy valley Of Santiago.
The secretary said that the Porto Rican
expedition would go forward immedi-
ately. 1t will comprise new men en-
tirely The warriors in the trenches
before Santiago have distinguished
themselves and it is not deemed pru-
dent to bring them in unnecessary con-
tact with new troops in view Of the
danger Of spreading contagion. The
sick soldiers will be nursed back to
health and brought to the United States
as SOON as they can be safely removed.
Immune regiments will be ordered to
Santiago to garrison the town, and, as
stated in these dispatches yesterday,
two Of these regiments are already un-
der orders to proceed. The Porto Rican
expedition will be commanded by Gen.
Miles in person, though Gen. Brooke,
now in command at Camp Thomas, is
expected to be his main dependence.
The size of the expedition will depend
upon Gen. Miles wishes, although it
is believed that $4,000 men will be
sufficient for the purpose. At San
Juan the navy will be Of greater assist
ancc than it was at Santiago, owing to
the possibility of approaching the town
more closely without risking contact
with mines. Gen. Brooke is now on
his way to Washington by direction Of
Secretary Alger, so that he will be in a
position to make his views known to
the department The experience gain
ed in dispatching Skaters expedition
is expected will aid the officials in
their determination to make short work
of the Porto Rican affair. There will
be plenty Of transports available for the
expedition, as the government has de-
vised other means of removing the
Spaniards captured at Santiago to Spain
than by carrying them on these trans
ports. That the navy is ready to do
its share at short notice goes without
saying. Porto Rico is not expected to
offer very formidable resistance. 1t
is believed that the moral effect Of to-
days surrender at Santiago will be to
discourage the defenders Of San Juan.
There is, however, always the prospect
that peace may ensue before hostilities
have progressed against Spain's easter
most West India Island. Rumors we're
afoat this afternoon to the effect that
the Spanish government at last had
made overtures in that direction, but
their basis probably was the current be-
lief that one more reverse to the Span
ish arms would be sufficient to compel
the Spanish government to sue for
peace, and this reverse was furnished
by the surrender of Toral's army.

TIE FINAL NEGOTIATIONS.
Full Story Of What Transpired Be
tween the Lines 1t Santiago.

Thursday morning it was decided TO
hold personal interview with Gen.
Toral. Gen. Miles and his staff accom-
panied by Gen. Shafter and his staff
rode out to the front shortly before s
o'clock under flag of truce. A request
for a personal interview with the Spaa-
ish commander-in-chief was made ac-
ceded to, and at about 9 o'clock Gen.
Miles, Gen. Shafter, Gen. Wheeler,
Gen. Gilmour, Col. Morse, Capt Wiley
and Col. Maus rode up, passed over our
entrenchments and went down into the
valley beyond They were met by Gen.
Toral and his chief of staff,
UNDER a SPREADING MANGO TREE,
at the bottom of the valley "hout half
way between the lines. I Interview
that followed lasted an hour. The
situation was placed frankly before
Gen. Toral and he was offered the alter
native of being sent home with his gar
rison or leaving Santiago province.
The only condition imposed being that
he should not destroy the existing forti-
fcations and should leave his arms be-
hind. This latter condition the Spanish
general, who does not speak English,
explained through his interpreter, was
impossible. He said the laws Of Spain
gave general no discretion. He might
abandon place when he found it was
untenable, but he could not leave his
arms behind without subjecting himself
to the penalty Of being court martialed
and shot. His government, he said,
had granted his permission to eyacuate
Santiago. That was all. Further than
that he was powerless to go.
SAID LIKE 4 SOLDIER.
Without saying so in words, Gen.
Miles said the tenor Of Gen. Toral,s re-
marks all betrayed his realization that
he could not hold out long. When
Gen. Shafter explained that our rein
forcements We're coming up, that he
was completely surrounded and that
new batteries were being posted, Gen.
Toral simply shrugged his shoulders.
Il am but a subordinate. he said. .and
l obey my government. II it is neccs-
sary we can die at cur posts.
AND OUR MEN ADMIRED IT.
Gen. Toral is man Of so years Of
are. with q strong, rugged, face and
fine soldierly bearing, His bravewords
inspired a feeling Of respect and admira-
ton in the hearts of his adversaries.
Nevertheless. the Spanish general 5
anxiety to avoid further sacrifice of life
in his command was manifest and he
did not hesitate to ask for time to COM
municate the situation to Madrid, al
though he obviously shook his head
when ne spoke of the probable response.

Heavy Loss Of Men.

The siege of Santiago had lasted
two weeks and was remarkable in many
respects and in none more than the
heavy percentage Of loss through death,
wounds or sickness of the soldiers and
sailors engaged on both sides. Looking
back over the record OF these two weeks
it is seen that great ironclad squad
ron has been destroyed, that nearly a
thousand soldiers have died in the
trenches of Santiago. On the other
hand atvlt 250 American soldiers have
been killed, and in round numbers
1000 more have been sent to the hos
pitals from wounds, fevers and other
ailments. Our feet had a remarkable
exemption from disaster in the many
engagements it had with the forts at
the entrance Of the harbor and with the
Spanish squadron.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1898-07-20
The Spanish Way.

One of the reasons for truce at San
tiago was to give time for the non-com-
bantants to leave the city and thus
escape the fire of Shafters guns. Among
the few who failed to avail themselves
of this opportunity was a rich widow,
Mrs. Rosa Chacon de Odis Shafter 5
missiles had no opportunity to injure
her. Before the truce was ended.
Spanish soldiers. learning that her
house was filed with jewels, money
and valuable property, sacked it and
murdered her All species Of barbara
ties were perpetrated upon the unhappy
woman, who was fairly hacked to
pieces. Such little diversions as this,
practised by Spaniards, explain why
Cubans in fierce rage sometimes pat
Spanish prisoners to death.

ATERILLING SPECTACLE.
The Hosting of the American Flag
Over Santiago.

The American flag is floating in
triumph over the governors palace at
Santiago de Cuba Gen. Mckibben
has been appointed temporary military
governor. The ceremony of hosting
the Stars and Stripes was worth all the
blood and treasure it cost. \ concourse
or 10. 600 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that willlive forever
in the minds of all the Americans pres
ent.
4 finer stage setting for dramatic
episode it would be difficult to imagine.
The palace, picturesque old dwelling
in the Moorish style of architecture,
faces the Plaza de la Reina, the princi-
pal public square. Opposite rises the
imposing Catholic cathedral. On one
side is a quaint, brilliantly painted
building with broad verandas, the club
of San Carlos; on the other, building
of much the same description, is the
Cafe de la Venus.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
9th infantry, headed by the 9th cavalry
band. In the street facing the palace
stood picked troop of the I'd cavalry,
with drawn sabres under command Of
Capt. Brett. Massed on the stone tagging
b,tween the band and the line of horse
men were the brigade commanders Of
Gen. Skaters division, with their
stats.
On the red titled roof of the palace
stood Capt. McKittrick, Lieut.. Miley
and Lieut.. Wheeie-. Immediately above
them, upon the flagstaff, the illuminat-
ed Spanish arms and the legend ':Vive
Alfonso MIL" All about, pressing
against the veranda rails, crowding to
windows and doors and lining the roofs,
were the people Of the town. principal
ly women aud non-combatantS.
As the chimes of the old cathedral
rang out the hour os y, the infantry and
cavalry prece4ted arms Every Ameri-
can uncovered, and Capt McKittrick
hoisted the Stars and Stripes. As the
brilliant folds unfurled in gentle
breeze against feckless sky. the cav
airy band broke into the strains Of
The Star Spansled Banner, making
the American pulse leap and the Amer
lean heart thrill with JOY.
At the same instant the sound of the
distant booming of Capt. Caprons bat
terry, the firing Of salute of 81 guns,
drifted in. When the music ceased,
from all directions around our line came
floating across the plaza the strains Of
the regimental bands and the mufied,
hoarse cheers of our troops. The In
fantry came to order arms" a moment
later. after the flag was up, and the band
played Rally Round the Flag, Boys.
Instantly Gen. McKibben called for
three cheers for Gen. Shafter, which
were given with great enthusiasm, the
band playing Sousa's STARS and Stripes
Forever" The ceremony over Gen. Shat
terand his staff returned to the American
lines, leaving the city in the possession
Of the municipal authorities. subject to
the control of Gen. Mckibben.

NEWS FROM MANILA.
ADMIRAL DEWEY HARRASSED
BY GERMAN OFFICERS.
Their Warships lnteferes With
His Orders and Violates Regu-
Iations He Established for Mani
Ia Bay. They Ignore courtesies.

The Americans captured the Spanish
garrison on Grande Island. in Subig
Bay. the chief &arbor outside of Mani
la. On July Aguinaldo informed
Admiral Dewey that the insurgents
held all of Subig Bay, except the large
island controlling the entrance, with
strong garrison, which they were unable
to take. Admiral Dewey forthwith dis
patched the Raleigh and Concord, with
emphatic orders t. take the island gar
rison. They arrived on July I, and
shelled the principal points, destroying
the torpedo station and earthworks.
No response being received the Ra
leigh sent 6-inch shell through the
commanders house. A white flag was
quickly run up. a landing party was
sent in launch to demand the abso-
Lutte surrender Of the garrison. The
Spanish commander complied, surren-
dering 500 men and rifles, 10000
rounds of ammunition, and one Hotch-
kiss gun.
The capture gives Admiral Dewey
control Of Subig Bay, splendid strate-
gic point, and illustrates the Spanish
plans to protect the harbor mines and
make ready for the new fleet which is
still supposed to be coming. 1t also
puts an end to possible German designs.
The capture was made with dash that
surprised the Germans and other for
eigners.
The insurgents have captured val
liable Spanish merchant coast steamer,
named the PHILIPPINES. The native crew
killed the Spanish officers The insur-
gents are now using the vessel as a
transport. They prepared to attack
Grande Island alone, but report that
the German warship Irene was anchor
ed near the island prevented the attack.
The insurgents then came to Cavite
and reported the situation to Aguinal-
do, who, in tnrn, informed Admiral
Dewey.
When the Raleigh and Concord en-
tered Subig Bay the German left very
suddenly. On returning to Manila the
Irene explained that she interfered in
the cause of humanity" and offered to
hand over to the Americans the refu-
gees she had on board. Admiral Dew
ey, however, declined to accept them.
Although the attitude of the Ger
mans is still irritating, Admiral Dewey
is managing affairs with great diploma
cy. He does not expect any trouble.
The blockade will be more rigid hereaf-
ter. Only supply ships Of the Ameri-
can and foreign feet are allowed to en-
ter.
