A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
Admiral Dewey Did Not Want All
the Truth Told.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily
Nails Hongkong correspondent says
that it is known there that Admiral
Dewey requested the correspondents at
Manila not to give the full story of the
Irene incident, for fear of arousing
feeling in America which might lead to
complications with Germany.
When the full details transpire it will
be seen the incident was more serious
than it first appeared to be. AS soon
as the American ship came on the
scene of action off Subic Bay the Irene
slipped her cable, leaving her anchor
in the bay. American Consul Wildman
refuses to say more than this. taking
the same policy as Admiral Dewey. 1t
is believed by those who know Admiral
Dewey that on the arrival of the mont
tors Monterey and Monadnock he will
insist upon his harbor regulations being
carried out to the letter. The opinion
among the foreigners at Manila is that
the Americans will never forgive the
Germans for their meddlesome attitude
in the Philippines. 1t will not only hurt
German trade with America, but will
also effectually destroy all of Ger
many's chances of having any say or
influence in the disposal of the Philip
pines if they should become American
property.

FRENCH GUNBOAT HELD UP.
She Tried to Run Past Our Ships
at Guantanamo.

TCopyrighted. 1885, by Associated Press.l
PLAYA DEL ESTE Guantanamo
Bay). July 14-A French gunboat OF
about 1000 tons displacement, at
tempted to come into the harbor ABOUT
dusk tonight without permission ana
met with a surprise party. The
cruiser Marblehead fired blank shot
as the gunboat came into the entrance
to the harbor, but no attention was
paid to this and a shot from D.
pounder was sent across her bows.
This. too, was disregarded by the gun
boat coming along under full steam.
For a few minutes it looked as II
row was possible. The trumpets on the
Marblehead ran out a call to quarters
and another shot was sent across the
Frenchman's bows, this time in UNI
comfortable proximity. That warning
was sufficient, however. and the
Frenchman stopped with extreme sud
dennesS.
1t is against naval custom for war
vessel of one nation to enter a port
which vessels of another nation are
blockading unless permission IS
granted The Captain of the French
gunboat was either in ignorance Of the
American occupation or chose to disre-
gard it until forcibly reminded of the
fact by Commodore McCalla. The
eunboat was allowed to anchor in the
lower harbor for the night.

SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
COMMISSION NOW ARRANGING
TERMS.
We Insist on Immediate Possession
and Will Probably Enter
Tonight.

BEFORE SANTIAGO July IA, 1915
p. m. (via Playa del Este, Guantanamo
Bay)-Santiago has surrendered. A
commission of two Spaniards, one Eng
lishman and three Americans is now
arranging terms.
Probably the Spanish army will ac-
cept parole and be returned to Spain.
We insist on immediate possession of
the city, pending arrangement as to de-
tails, and probably will enter Santiago
tonight.
Our army will remain outside the city
but our sick will be taken in and
general hospital headquarters will be
established
The truce which was to end at noon
to-day was prolonged by flag sent
out from the Spanish lines at $50 this
morning. General Toral, acting on Cap
tain General Blanco's instructions, ask
ed time to communicate by cable with
Madrid the surrender of Santiago be-
ing too important step to be taken
without royal authority. In the mean
time General Blanco offered to appoint
joint commission to arrange terms.
General Miles and General Shafter de-
cided to call for a personal interview
with General Toral, his message being
ambiguous They rode out between the
lines shortly before noon and met Gen
eral Toral, who said he had received,
few minutes before, message from
Captain General Blanco TO capitulate
and to make the work of the commits
sioners final General Toral named
Robert Mason, British Consul; General
Tolon and his own (Toral's) Chief Of
Staff General Shafter and General
Miles named General Wheeler General
Lawton and Captain Miley of General
Skaters staff The commission is now
working on the terms of the surrender
The news was received with enthusi-
asm in the American lines. The Ameri-
can warships are expected to pass I'M
der the guns of Ell MORO this evening,
and will command the town from the
upper bay. 1t is probable that but few
will remain here, orders having been
received for all the heavy vessels to
join Commodore Watson's squadron for
the Spanish coast
There is a report-as yet unconfirmed
that the surrender and evacuation Of
the Spanish troops may extend to the
entire province of Santiago de Cuba
This is only rumor, which events may
disproye, but it is generally believed
that in case OF. such an evacuation our
main force would probably seek a fresh
camp on the highlands in the vicinity
with a view to recuperating.

DEWEY PRAISED.
The 'Times" Does Not Take Much
Stock in the Irene's Captain.

LONDON, July ia special dis
patch to the Times from Vienna
says: 80 far from Austria having
interviewed in behalf Of Spain. it is
highly improbable that she will take
any independent action in the matter"
The Times" editorially says it sup
poses General Torals resources We're
exhausted, and whatever orders may
have emanated from Madrid he had no
option but to surrender Between the
terms accepted and the unconditional
surrender that General Shafter de-
manded the difference is little more
than formal. In any case the arrange
ment must be a great relief to Gen
eral Shafter whose troops, through
rains and yellow jack, must have suf-
fered very seriously. The Times"
again. urges Spain to seek peace while
there is still possibility of favorable
terms, since it is perfectly hopeless
that any satisfactory result can come
from delay after this military catas-
trophe, which is likely to be repeated
elsewhere, and the longer the war con-
tinues, the more difficult it must be-
come for the United States TO leave
to Spain any part of her colonial pos
sessions.
The article proceeds. IL Is not uiiil-
cult to read between the lines in Ad-
miral Dewey's studiously moderate dis
patch that the German policy at Man
liza came rather perilously near pro
ducing complications Of an exceedingly
untoward kind He certainly appears
to deserve that thanks be rendered him
by his Government for the restraint
he exercised under circumstances
which at least bore the resemblance
of a provocation. 1t remains TO be
seen what view the Government VIII
take of the action of the Irene. Though
no diplomatic action may be taken at
Washington, the American people VIII
not be slow to draw their conclusions,
which are only too plainly suggested
by the language of the German press.
The German defense that the Irene
acted in the cause of humanity may
serve to gloss over a rather disagree
able incident, yet the world cannot Tor
get that Germany has not, on other
occasions. shown herself to be power
fully swayed by humanitarian meth

time to participate in the ceremony of
annexation.

tiOns the last three vessels of the fleet

Captain w. A. NeVills, the mining cap

another collapse not take place during
