General Toral undoubtedly has before
his eyes the yindictive abuse heaped
upon the unfortunate naval comman-
der 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 re

the loss OF his squadron, Cervera re-
ceived a most harsh and unSympa

Blanco's purpose in this may have been

and naval, from surrendering under
any conditions, and in the case of Toral
1t appears that he has made strong
impression.
Nevertheless, confidence 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,
1t may be fairly claimed that the prime
OBJECT or the movement on Santiago,
namely, the destruction of the Spanish
squadron, has been achieved, and the
campaign, as a whole, been successful.
General Miles report today indicat-
ed that he found unexpected physical
difficulties to contend with, and he is
apparently pleased with the progress
made by the army under the conditions
prevailing. He has not assumed COM
nland, as is evidenced by his message.
He made the following report to Secre-

PEACE OR WAR?
Much Depends Upon the Queen Re
gents Choice.

=
Washington, July 12.-The discussion of
a possible peace settlement continued to-
day. although it was lacking in any tan
gi5,e basis, as officials, government and
diplomatic, continued to say that no over
lures from Spain or any quarter had been
made. The dispatch from Madrid de-
falling the stories of alleged peace con-
dition was looked upon as q "feeler. 1t
is said that no such proposition has gone
from this government. The alleged terms
Spanish evacuation Of Cuba and Porto
Rico, $24e. eco coo war indemnity and re-
tention OF the Philippines until the in
Gemnity IS paid-are in general line with
the conjecture aficat here for some time,
but officials never have given this con-
lecture any endorsement, and if the Mad
rid dispatch is put forward as a ''feeler"
it has not proved successful in inducing
the authorities to disclose their position
on these terms. as a whole or separately
Each one of the propositions involves a
general policy, and it is doubtful whether
any such general policy has been con-
sidered toward outside possessions, sever
ally or together.
The Spanish cabinet crisis is looked upon
by officials here as likely 20 bring about
a direct issue on which Spain will sue
for peace or continue the war TO the bit
ter end. The retiring premier. Sagasta,
queen regent must take choice between
premier and a cabinet more radical than
Sagasta for war or else a cabinet for
peace. The idea OF officials here is that
the middle ground occupied by Sagasta
is no longer tenabie and that the cabinet
of the next days viii be radical either
negotiations are expected to take form
very soon. If for war, then the peace

of and at the same time there wiz be a

with the war.

BRITISH VESSEL CAPTURED.
Was Trying to Land Supplies Fol-
Starving Spaniards.


Key West, Fla, July 12.-The slooD
Wary, flying the British flag, was
brought in here today as prize of war.
She was captured by the st. Louis
about 10 miles from Santiago de Cuba
while bound from Jamaica for Santa
Cruz with a cargo of provisions. 1t
was thought the English registry was
a subterfuge.. to enable her to land sup
plies in Cuba for the starving Span
iar6S.
Her registry proved to be bona fide,
and she appeared to have been engaged
in a bold attempt to land her cargo on
the southern coast Of Cuba. Her crew
consisted of Captain jeremiah Moss
and three men. all jamaican negroes.
The sloop, which is a ELTON vessel, was
captured while becalmed. She was
brought in by a prize crew of three
nle=.
A schooner, the Wyckerson, was cap
tured by one of the converted yachts
at the same place two days before the
Wary was taken. She was owned by
two German merchants. who were
aboard ard who protested so vigorous
~ that the prize was taken over to
Santiago for a formal report to Admiral
Sampson. She was bound for Ma2za-
Milo from Jamaica.

Dread Disease Make IFS Appearance
Near Camp McCalla.

| Copyright. 1888. by the Associated Press.1
| Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay
Cuba, July 12.-The known presence OF
| yellow fever at Caimanera, Guanta-
namo and other towns in the vicinity
of Camp McCalfa and along the coast
has resulted in the establishment of the
strictest quarantine.
Hereafter no communication Will be
| allowed with the north side of the bay,
and no one will be permitted to land
from vessels entering the harbor here
without a special permit from the
commanding officer. This may result in
considerable inconvenience to the news
paper dispatch boats. 1t also cuts off
communication with the insurgent
forces around Guantanamo, under the
command of General Pere. and the reg
iment of Colonel Thomas.
The rules will also be rigidly en-
forced at Camp McCalla. although the
general health of the American marines
is remarkably good.
The SpaniardS in and around Calm
anera have been showing great activ-
ity during the last two or three days,
and their forces there have been up
parently increased from Guantanamo.
The holiness of the American launches
in venturing up beyond the port and
the presence of a large number of war
ships in the lower bay have evidently
led the Spanish to believe that an at
tack is planned at that point.

SKATERS ARTILLERY.
Sixty Light Guns and Several Heavy
Siege Pieces.

New York, July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
conflicting statements cabled from San
tiago about the artillery strength of
the American force now there has led
to much confusion on that point in the
public mind. Exact information on the
subject is difficult to obtain here on ac-
count of the confusion attending the
embarkation of the original expedition
at Tampa, which makes it almost i'm
possible to ascertain exactly what part
of the artillery massed at that point
was taken with the invading army.
Inquiry at the war department devel-
oped the fact, however, that it is pos
itively known there that ten of the
light batteries out of the IA in the
regular army are now at Santiago. Two
of the four remaining left Washington
yesterday morning on their way there,
and the other two have been sent to the
Philippines. These batteries have six
guns each, all of them 80 inches, MAX
ing a total of so light field pieces in
Cuba available for the attack on San
tiago as soon as they can all be put in
position.
The siege pieces, which constitute the
most formidable part of the artillery
equipment, are five-inch rifles, firing
either solid projectiles or shells, and
seven-inch howitzers and mortars for
Smelling purposes exclusively. Just how
many of these General Shafter took
with him the officials here do not
know, and no two reports from San
tiago agree. The siege train, which
was originally made up with q view of
bombardment of Havana, was sent to
Tampa before Shafter sailed, but it is
stated at the war department that it
is not known exactly how many of its
pieces were shipped. 1t is believed,
however, that there are eight of these
big guns at Santiago. four rifles and
four howitzers, with a number of NOR

DISTRESS OF THE HAVANESE
SPANISH CORRESPONDENT WHO
TELLS THE TRUTH.
Thousands Of Working People Are
Threatened With Famine-Shore
Defenses Are Completed.

New York, July 12.-An interesting
account of the situation in Havana,
written by Senior F. Lopez Allue, a
Madrid newspaper correspondent, has
reached the Cuban junta here. 1t was
written before the destruction of Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron, and while
the inhabitants of Havana were ex-
pecting those vessels to come to their
relief with provisions.
In Havana" he wrote, Eve are feel
ing more and more each day the depri-
vations due to the conduct of the war.
At the beginning of the trouble, when
the American fleet first established the
blockade, there We're plenty of stores in
the warehouses and the custom house,
and for a time the traffic and move
ments in the streets were the same as
in times of peace.
Now all is different. The merchan-
disc has been distributed from the GUS
tom house, and there is an utter paral-
yZation in all branches of trade. To-
day those streets, where once all was
activity and hustle, wear holiday or
rather a mournful air of quiet.
In the shadow of every tree and
building can be seen dozens of steve
dores, coachmen, wagonerS and public
laborers lying idle and hopeless. For
weeks they have been without work,
passing gradually from a compare
lively opulent living to a miserable ex-
istence. Thousands of working men
and women in the tobacco industry are
reduced to the same condition.
Efforts have been made by the
officials here to keep this condition of
the city and its people a secret, but 1
do not believe that patriotism requires
it. 1t is necessary that these facts be
made public in order that the people in
Madrid can appreciate the situation in
Havana, and recognize the efforts of
the people here to maintain the ma
tional integrity, whatever the cost to
them.
1.-The shore defenses in Havana are
now completed. The task was a til
tanic one, thousands of laborers being
kept at work day and night. 1t is but
just that / tell you that we owe all
this energy and activity to General
Pando, who, from the time of his arri-
val in Havana on April %, has not been
idle moment.
From the instruction we know
nothing, or next to nothing. All such
news comes TO us by cable from the
south, which is in the hands of the
government. On the north we are COM
pletely incommunicado. 1t is generally
understood, however, that our troops
have evacuated the interior of Orienta,
and have concentrated in forts along
the coast. We have just heard that the
insurgents have driven our troops from
Bayamo and have taken possession of
that city. Such news as we receive
from Spain is so distorted by the Off
Gals here that we can place little re-
lance on it.
This letter goes out through the
kindness of an officer on a German YES
sci bound for Europe"
