His Harsh and Unsympathetic Reply to
Cervera's Manly Report Probably Re-
sponsible for Torals Refusal to Sure n
der.
Washington, July 1.-THE impress
sion prevailed in official circles when
public business closed for the day that
the flag of truce set in the Spanish
lines at Santiago at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon was still flying, and
that negotiations continued looking to
a surrender
The basis for these negotiations nat
urally could not be very broad, in view
of the injunction the President laid
upon General Shafter to accept nothing
less than unconditional surrender, but
1t Is supposed that time may be con-
sumed through the indulgence of Gen.
Shafter in allowing the Spanish COM
mander to communicate by cable with
Captain General Blanco in the effort
to obtain his assent to the surrender
General Toral undoubtedly has be-
fore his eyes the vindictive abuse
heaped upon the unfortunate naval
commanders, Cervera, for surrendering
at all, so that he probably will be
bound by the direction of Blanco in
his own case.
1t is not generally known that In
response to the manly and pathetic re-
port by cable to Blanco announcing
the loss of his squadron, Cervera re-
ceived a most harsh and unsympa-
thetic reply, but such is the case.
Blanco's purpose in this may have
been to dissuade other Spanish COM
manders, military and naval, from
surrendering under any conditions, and
in the case of Toral it appears that he
has made a strong impression.
Nevertheless conference wakes in the
speedy fall of Santiago, though many
officers fear that the nest will be found
empty and the birds flown when the
American troops make their entry into
the town. Still, should this be the
case, it may be fairly claimed that the
prime object of the movement on San
tiago, namely, the destruction of the
Spanish squadron having been achiev-
ed, the campaign as whole has been
successful.
Gen. Miles's report to-day indicated
that he had found unexpected physical
difficulties to contend with and he is
apparently greatly pleased with the
progress made by the army under the
conditions prevailing. He has not as
sumed command, it is evidenced by
the message.

THERE is NO HOPE
OF Finding Any Victim of the Cleve-

Cleveland July 12.-While work is
being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible toward reaching the scene of
last nights explosion, there seems to
be little if any prospect that any of
the eleven workmen who were in the
tunnel when the accident occurrd, will
be found alive. The only thing with
which the rescuers have TO contend
with at present is the foul air and the
chance OF another explosion. Assum-
ing that all the men are dead, twenty
lives have been lost since the tunnel
was started.

Of the report OF the Spanish naval COM

hands Of this government. The conclu-
sions reached are directly opposite to
those In the report Of the court of in
quiry submitted to congress yesterday.
The synopsis Is as follows: THE re-
port contains declarations made by ocu-
lar witnesses and experts. From thess
statements IL clearly deduces andproves
cumstances which are invariably pres
ent On the occasion Of the explosion OF
q torpedo.
The evidence OF witnesses compare.
lively close 10 the Maine at the momen,
Is TO the effect that only one explosion
occurred. that no column of water was
thrown Into the air; that no shock to
the side OF the nearest vessel was felt
nor on land was any vibration noticed
and that no dead fish were found. The
evidence Of the senior pilot Of the har.
Dor states that there Is abundance ol
fish In the haroor. and this is zorro.
borated by other witnesses. The as.
sistant engineer OF works states thai
after explosion made during the execu
tion OF works in the harbor he has al.
ways found dead fish.
The divers were unable to examine
the bottom Of the Maine. which wa.
buried In the mud, but a careful exam
ination of the sides OF the vessel, tn,
rents and breaks In which all point out

ute examination Of the bottom of tn
harbor around the vessel shows abso
lute!y no sign Of the action of torpedo
and the fiscal Judge advocated OF tn
commission can find no precedent 10
the explosion OF the storage magazine
Of vessel by q torpedo.
/ The report makes clear that owing {
the special nature OF the proceeding
followed and the ABSOLUTE respect show
for the extra-territorialidad OF tn
Maine. the commission has been pre-
vented from making such an examina
tion Of the inside OF the vessel as woul
determine even by hypothesis the In
ternal origin OF the accident. This Is {
be attributed to the regrettable refuss
to permit the necessary co-operatio
OF the Spanish commission both wit
the commander and crew Of the Main
and the different American official
commissioned TO investigate the cause
OF the accident. and later on with thos
employed In salvage work.
The report finishes by stating tha
