Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bays July
IA French gunboat Of about 1000 tons
displacement attempted to come into the
harbor about dusk tonight without pess
mission and met with surprise party.
The cruiser Marb1ehead fired blank Shot
as the gunboat came into the eHtfance to
the harbon But no attention was paid to
this and shot from sit FOUNDER was
sent across her bows. This, too. was dis.
regarded, the gunboat coming along
under full steam. For d few minutes 1t
looked as If q row was possible. The
trumpets on the Marblehead rang out
call to quarters and another shot was
sent across the gunboat's bow this time
in uncomfortable proximity That warn
ing was sufficient, however, and the
Frenchman stopped with extreme sudden
ness.
1t is against naval custom for war
vessel of one nation to enter port which
vessels of another nation are blockading
unless permission is given. The captain
Of the French gunboat was either in
ignorance Of the American occupation or
chose to disregard 1T until forcibly re.
minded Of the fact by Commander Nc
Gala.
The gunboat was allowed to anchor in
the lower harbor for tho night.

Washington, July 14.-There was con
siderable disappointment in administra-

concerning the surrender of Santiago

and sailors engaged on both sides. Look
Ing back over the record of these two
weeks, it is seen that great iron clad
squadron has been destroyed, that nearly
thousand Spanish sailors have been
drowned or killed by shells and flame,
and that an untold number of Spanish
soldiers have died in the trenches Of
Santiago. On the other hand about $50
American soldiers have been killed and

spondent of the Daily Mail says:
"a despatch from Havana to El In
parcial says that three thousand Ameri-
cans have landed near Cienfuegos, under
cover of the guns Of the U. s. cruiser
Montgomery"
/. Ell Correo doubts the truth of this re-
port. "Gen. Toral cables that the losses
of the last few days have been 400 killed,
wounded and taken prisoners. He says
that he has $4,000 troops left in fine con-
dition.'

Palaya Del Este, Guantanamo Bay.
July IA. q p. m.-General Toral. COM
manding the Spanish forces in Santiago
de Cuba, this morning sent communi-
cation to General Shafter, indicating his
willingness to accept the terms Of sur
render proposed yesterday and asking the
American commander to appoint COM
missioners to meet the Spanish commits
sioners to arrange to send the Spanish
troops back to Spain. This will be
promptly done.
The surrender of General Toral not only
means the fall of Santiago. but by the
terms of surrender the whole eastern end
of the island falls into the hands of the
United States without firing shot.
The surrender is to include all the
Spanish troops at Santiago, Guantanamo,
Caimanera and Sagua, composing the
fourth corps of the Spanish army.
The portion of the province of Santiag 0
de Cuba that lies east of the line from
Sagua, via Las Palmas to Asserradores,
is surrendered to the United States.

PLEA FOR FLANAGAN FAILS.
Many People of DcKsib County. Ga, Con-
denim Judges Action

Many People of DeKsib County. Ga, Con-
denim Judges Action
The Georgia prison commission re-
fused to consider the application for
Communication Of Edward @. Flanagan's
sentence so long as any effort in his
behalf is pending in the courts.
The decision was announced after
hearing from Flanagan's attorneys on
the question Of jurisdiction.
The action leaves the case before
Judge John s. Gambler, with motion
for q new trial pending and the execu-
ton Of the death sentence postponed
until the further order of the court.
Great indignation is felt by many
DeKslb county people over Judge
Gamblers recommendation that Flana-
gan's sentence be changed TO imprison-
ment in the penientiary for life.
When il twas known that the case
Of the murderer had been turned over
to the pardon board for consideration,
the old rumors Of lynching were re-
vived and il is stated that Flanagan
will no longer be safe il confined in
the jail at Decatur. >
Judge Candler's Recommendation
that Flanagan should not be hanged
came as thunder clap from q clear
sky to those DeKalbites who thought
the Judge was in favor OF having the
sentence of death executed. They
contend that three juries have found
the prisoner sane aud there ought to
be no further question raised rs TO his
responsibility for his crime.
