NO FOOD FOR EIGHT DAYS.
Apathy of the Spaniards in Santiago
Our Men Well Treated.

Santiago de Cuba, July 27.-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Angel Rosell who, after
taking confirmation of the instructions
to surrender from General Toral to
General Paroja, military governor of
Guantanamo, returned here this after
noon, said that the first intimation
that Guantanamo had of the surrender
of Santiago. and the terms, was on
July 23 when Rear Admiral Sampson
sent letter to General Paroja, asking
what number of rations should be sent
to his garrison. as surrender had TAX
en- place on the 18th.
General Taroja, being ignorant of
the surrender refused to credit the
message or accept rations, answering
Rear Admiral Sampson to that effect.
Sampson then sent copy of the terms
of surrender. whereupon General Par
ola decided TO inquire of General Toral
at Santiago whether the news was
true; and Lieutenant Colonel Rosell
was appointed to come here. He re-
turned with this confirmation, and the
surrender of Guantanamo took place
Yesterday lie says the conditions AT
Guantanamo are awful, and that the
troops are literally starving. For the
last eight days they have had no food
on mounting guard the soldiers were
obliged to sit, being too weak to stand.
and it was impossible to make them
build trenches, as they fell from ex-
haustlon. There are 1000 sick in Guam
tanano, suffering from diseases being
increased by hunger.
The French cruiser Rigault de Con-
GULLY was refused permission by Rear
Admiral Sampson to land grain and
provisions for the relief of the French
colony at Guantanamo. All hope was
abandoned and the sufferers were
awaiting death from starvation. The
conditions at Guantanamo, Colonel
Rose'l says, are worse than they were
at Santiago.
Lieutenant Colonel Ewers, of the
Ninth infantry, received the surren-
der of Guantanamo yesterday. The
Spanish troops will remain in the town
until transported
