TORAL REMEMBERS
ABUSE OF CERVERA,
BlancO's Harsh Words Have Effect
on the Spanish Commcv der
at SANTIAGO.

WASHINGTON, July 12-The tmpyes-
sion prevailed in official circles when pub
lie business was closed for the day that
the flag Of truce seen in the Spanish lines

noon vas still iiying and that negotiations
continued booking to a surrender. The
basis for these negotiations naturally could
not be very broad. IL view Of the intunc-
ton the president laid upon Gen. Shafter
10 accept nothing less than unconditional
surrender. bat It Is supposed that time
may be consumed ,ar0egh the Indulgence
OF Gen. Shafter III allowing the Spanish
commander 20 communicate 10y cable with
Capt. Gen Blanco in the effort TO obtain
his assent TO the surrender.
Gen. Torai undoubtedly has before his
eyes the vndictive abuse heaped upon the
unfortunate naval commander Cervera Cor

will be bound by the direction OF Blanco
in his own case
II is not generally known that In re-
Spouse 10 the many and pathe.ic reports
by cable tn Blarco announcing the loss Of
his squadron, Cervera received a most
harsh and unsympa;hctic reply. but such il
the case. Blsncos purpose in this may
have been TO dissuade other commanders
military and naval, from surrendering m
der any conditions. and in the case Of
Toral II appears that he has made a strong
impression,
Nevertheless confidence wakes in the
speedy fall NJ Santiago though many off,

WASHINGTON, July l2.-Beforo the war

stock of coal at 81. Thomas. West Indies
Most OF II was ashore. but thousand
tons were on a schooner lying IA the har-
Dor. Twice since the war broke out the
United States has awaited OF this coal,
once 10 supply the Minneapolis and once

for the nearest home port and took only
enough coal to carry her there. n was
fairly assumed that there had been no
breach OF neutrality.
However, IL appears that there IT, now
disposition exhibited hy the Danish au-
thorities 10 prevent the United States
ships from using this coal. and as there Is
no question OF their right To lay down such
a rule thr coal will probably Re let alone.
Fortunately there IS no particular need for
Il. as there are ether means Of coaling the

The incident IS one which viii be used as
