General Shafter himself summed up
the situation by saying: 1T cannot be
possible that there will be failure in

surrender itself. Not only has General
Toral agreed to it, but this agreement
has been ratified by General Blanco
at Havana and by the Spanish au-
thorities at Madrid.

DON IN HIS ELEMENT.
Raising Points to Delay Negotiations Is
the Spaniards Strong Suit.

Washington, July 16.-After an eX-
tended conference with the president
last night, at which three other men,
bers of the cabinet We're present, Sec
rtary Alger said: The situation is Just
this: The Spaniards at Santiago are
prepared to surrender, but they want
to carry their arms. We have deter
mined to grant no such concession, nor
any concession, except the generosity
of this government to transport them
to SPAIN
Secretary Alger was asked if it was
not the expectation that when it was
known that no other terms would be
granted the surrender would take place.
and replied that such was the case In
any event no ether concession would be
afforded by this government
Must he Surrender or Fight.
1t was nearly l o'clock when the con-
ference at the White House adjourned.
General Shafter was ordered to be i'm
mediately instructed to carry out the
determination of the president, with
whom the matter had been thoroughly
discussed. Secretary Alger did not say
how much time would be allowed the
enemy to reach a conclusion. but 1t is
known that the administration will
make 1t very short and submit to no
further parley with General Toral. The
next move Is surrender upon the terms
which the United States government
propose or immediate attack upon the
Spanish forces by the army and navy.

A. lis o'clock this morning when Ad-
jutant General Corbin left the war de-

definite information from General Shat
ter concerning the surrender of Santi-
ago In accordance with the decision
reached at the conference with the pres
ident he sent instructions to General
Shafter that nothing but an uncondi-
tional surrender by General Toral would
be satisfactory to this government. In
view of Skaters last dispatch no fear
is felt that the negotiations for the sur
render of the forces in Santiago city
will not he prosecuted to a successful
conclusion. General Toral. il is known,
at first insisted that his men should be
permitted to carry their arms with
them to Spain. This concession General

Washington Officials Have To BE Impera-
tive to Receive News.
Washington, July 16-There was a
long and anxious wait yesterday to
hear further news from the commits
sioners who had been charged to make
arrangements for the surrender of the
Spanish army at Santiago. For eighteen
hours no word came from either Cen
eral Shafter or General Miles, although
there was the keenest desire on the
part of the president and cabinet ad-
yisers to learn what had been done
and particularly to know whether the
actual surrender of Santiago and the
Spanish troops had been carried out.
When the cabinet met at II o'clock
there was positively nothing from the
front which would serve as a guide for
the deliberations. 1t was thought the
cable had been interrupted, but on in
quiry of General Greedy he gave as
surance that the cable was intact.
Thereupon Secretary Alger sent a dis
patch asking for the situation up to the
latest moment, and particularly inquir-
ing as to how far the surrender had
proceeded.
No answer came while the cabinet
was in session. In the meantime Cen
eral Greely had cabIed, and he was the
first official to hear from the front. A
dispatch from Lieutenant Jones, mill
tary censor at Playa del Este reported
that the message from the secretary of
war to General Shafter was only six
minutes in passage from Washington to
Playa. The message received by Cen
eral Greedy came at 2:23 p. M, and in
dicated that negotiations were vet in
progress, but as the dispatch was sub
mitted to the president no details were
given out. Toward the middle of the
afternoon dispatches from General Miles
and General Shafter began to arrive in
response to Secretary Ayers rather
imperative request. They were not
given out in full, but such portions as
were made public showed that the
negotiations were still in progress and
that the Spaniards had raised some
rather unexpected questions
Most important of these was an in
sistence that the Spanish troops should
retain their arms when they returned
to Spain. There was entire Willingness
on the part of General Toral to turn
over the arms to General Shafter at the
time of the surrender, but with this
was to be the understanding that the
