Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 7.-Manzanillo,
blockaded by the Hist and Hornet,
with the wrecks of six gunboats and
three large merchant vessels strung
along the beach, and with the insur-
gents under Salvador Rios pressing
the city closely from the east, is
anxious to surrender to the American
troops. Negotiations to this end have
already been started and Commander
Lucien Young, Of the Hist, sent a
communication to Admiral Sampson
suggesting that another demonstration
be made before Manzanillo by part
Of the American fleet, to Davev the
way to the city's surrender. Col. San
chez Pirron, the Spanish governor Of
ManZanillo, is cut off from all COM
munication, he has only 1000 troops,
many of whom are sick, and he recog-
nizes the futility of further defense.
He is ready to surrender Manzanillo
Internationally, provided the Ameri-
can fleet will make 4 demonstration
before the city of such force as to save
him from being court martialed for
surrenGering.
This information was obtained by a
New York Herald correspondent who
was aboard the vessel sent under flag
of truce to remove the families and
baggage of Gen. Escano's office.
In both the town and harbor could
be seen the terrible effect of the bonn

Spaniarlls Necessitstcs 1t.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 6--Maj. Gen.
Miles, having received information
that the fine military road from Ponce
to San Juan has been mined by the
Spaniards, has formed practically a
new plan for the Porto Rican CAM
paign.
In accordance with this new plan,
Gen. Stone, with some Wisconsin
troops, is pressing rapidly toward Are
cibo, on the northern coast of the
island, and Gen. Brooke, who has ar
rived with Gen. Harris and 1000 men.
will advance toward San Juan from
Arroyo. BY this plan Gen. Miles will
avoid risking the lives of the Ameri-
can troops through the explosion Of
mines along the military road and the
use of explosives which the Spaniards
have hidden in the bushes along the
way. At the same time he will foil 4
considerable body of Spanish troops in
the town of 1Aibonito. where the enemy
was understood to he ready to make 4
strong resistance. The unsafe portion
of the military road, by the reports
brought to Gen. Miles, lies between
Juan DiaZ and AibonitO.
Gen. Stone, after occupying Adiun-
tas, to the north of Ponce, has taken
Company C. Second Wisconsin, as far
north as Utuado. fifteen miles beyond
Adjuntas. This road is not adapted to
the transportation Of artillery and
wagons. but the cavalry and infantry

in advancing by this route to Arecibo,
from which point a railroad and a good
dirt road extend to San Juan. The ar
tillery and wagons will he sent by
transports to Arecibo, and it will be IL
simple matter to take them with the
army to San Juan. While the Spanish
capital is being threatened from the
west by the advance of Gen. Stones
troops, the troops under Gen. Brooke
and Gen. Harris will be moving from
Arroyo to Caycy, where thcyw will
seize the military road beyon dthe dam
ger points and from which place the
Americans can advance rapidly upon
San Juan. The Spanish troops who
are preparing to resist the Americans
at Albinto. unless they make a forced
march from that place toward San
Juan, are likely to find themselves be-
set by the American troops on both
sides.
The Americans who landed at Ponce
are steadily pushing forward and their
outposts now are twenty miles beyond
this city. No large forces of Spaniards
have been encountered and the Stars
and Stripes are waving over all of the
ncighborins towns. Our troops are be-
ing welcomed everywhere with enthu-
SiaSm.

A Statement Regarding the Troops
mt Santiago.
Washington, Aug. I'm proof of the
allegation that the war department
had bestirrcd itself to succor the I'M
fortunate army in Santiago before the
united protest was made the following
statement was given out by the secrc-
tary of war regarding the shipment of
troops north from Santiago:
Until quite recently 1T was SUD-
posed that yellow fever was epidemic
in Santiago. and it was not believed
that il would be safe to send ship
loads north of men largely infected
with yellow fever. The disease it was
believed. would rapidly spread on
shipboard and result in the death and
burial of many at sea. On the 2Sth
ult. the secretary of war telegraphed
to Gen. Shafter that. as soon as the
fever subsidized the men of his com.
mand would be moved north to a
camp that had been selected for them
July Gen. Shafter telegraphed the sec
rotary Of war that he had informed
the troops they would be moved north

it had q very good effect ON them.
When tho true condition was made
known an order was issued to Gen.
Shafter to move his command as rap
idly as possible, and all ships in the
quarternlasters service possible to get
there would be- cent, including the
Yale and Harvard. Over $50 surgeons
ana number of immune nurses have
been sent to Santiago in addition to
the usual hospital corps that attends
such brigade. There We're less
deaths by yellow fever at Santiago
than by typhoid fever in any camp Of
the same size in the United States.

Santiago. Aug. From the moment
Secretary Ayers cable message was
received ordering the instant removal
or the army north. everything has
been hustle and activity at headauar-
tiers. The transports here, six in num-
Der. have been ordered to discharge
tnclr cargces and to get ready without
loss of time to take Oh board the first
shipments. Other transports are cy-
pected here shortly. and it is expected
that eighteen transports will soon be
conveying the soldiers back to the
United States. The Yale and Har-
ward, among others. are understood to
DC on their way here. -. 49,

Washington. Aug. G.-Upon being in
formed of the request of the command
ing officers at Santiago to have tLen,
moved Immediately the officials Of the
war department said this request had
been Anticipated. and they had been
preparing for the removal of Gen.
Slafter'S force to the United States.
They had arranged for an ideal camp
at Mcntauk Point. L. l.. and orders
We're sent forward to begin the !nonle-
ward movement by embarking at
Santiago five cavalry regiments of
Skaters forces. including Rooscvelts
rough riders. 1t is the intention of the
department. and Gen. Shafter was in
structed to so inform the troops pub
lirly. to conduct this movement as
rapidly as the resources of the govern
ments will permit, having regard to
the safety of the men themselves. 1t
was not deemed possible nor lesirabl
to bring them all here at one time,
not only from the lack of transports,
but for medical reasons. physicians
representing that Il sudden change in
climate would probably kill many Of
the soldiers who have not passed the
convalescent stage. SO it was the pur
pose to remove to the mountains back
of Santiago such of the commands as
could not be embarked Immediately
and to place them amidst the best
hygienic surroundings while they were
waiting for their turn to embark and
ships could hc supplied more rapidly.
So far Gen. Shaftcr has made no form
al report Of the meeting which took
place'at Santiago. resulting in TIE pre-
sentation'to him of the request Of the
commanding generals.

Washington, Aug. 7.-When the pres
ident closed his official week yesterday
he had not received the reply of Spain
nor any intimation as to how soon the
reply might be expected. The French
ambassador had not been heard from
throughout the day, and he, as we'll as
our own government officials, was
waiting for Spain to give the final re-
Spouse. Two days have now passed.
without word officially from Spain,
either in the way of inquiry or re-
sponse. From this it is clear that the
Spanish cabinet fully realizes the time
for argument, counter proposals and
notifications has gone by and that
there is only one simple issue to meet,
namely. whether the American terms
will be accepted as Il whole or reject
ed. There is, indeed. reason to believe
that the Spanish government has been
directly notified that the stage of me-
gotiations has passed. and that only
the matter of an answer. favorable Or
unfavorable. remains. That the an
swer has not come quickly is no mat
ter of surprise to the officials here. for
they realize the tremendous RESPONSE
bility which Premier Sagasta must as
sumo in making these peace terms
sufficiently palatable to the Spanish
populace and the political leaders to
Iermit its acceptance without m in
ternal CONFUSION. In his conferences
With the president and Secretary Day
the French ambassador has brought
out clearly the great task before Sal
gasta. 1t seems to be the general view
here that if the premier and his min
istry were untrammeled an acceptance
Would Come at Once
and that the preliminary peace ar
engagements would he now closed. But
in preparing the Spanish public and in
guarding against political agitations
hereafter by public men of other
parties the Madrid government is talk
ing time for missionary work not only
among themselvevs but also among the
populace and different sects. Well in
formed people here place Monday as
the time when the United States is to
receive Spain's final answer, but this
is purely conjectural. for there is not
the slightest means of knowing the
trend of affairs ut Madrid.-It might
come today. but in the event of its
coming late in the day the response
would not be communicated to the
government until Monday. There is
the same confident feeling among
officials here. as from the first, that
the Spanish answer will be reluctant
acceptance of the terms offered. At
the same time there is remote DOS
sibility that the disclosures made by
the American government at Santiago
concerning the serious condition of our
troops might be a straw ut which the
Spanish cabinet would grasp. This is
quite doubtful. however, as there is n
question whether the statement of the
American general evevr got outside
the borders of the United States ow-
ing to the strict censorship imposed.
Moreover all evidence reaching the Of
ficials here indicates that Spain is
weary with the conflict and is con-
yinced beyond the slightest question
OF the hopelessness of further oppo-
Sition.

sagnsta -GiveA orders Regarding
Porto Rico.
New York, Aug. IA special cable
to the Herald from Madrid says: The
government has given orders that the
minister Of war should not force re-
sistance in Porto Rico to the utmost.
This is at the instigation Of Premier
Sagasta. who deplores any unneces-
sary loss Of life, knowing that Porto
Rico will inevitably fall into the hands
of the Americans. Capt. Gen. Macais
has been instructed to obtain terms
like those obtained by Gen. Toral, or
as much as possible. One of the
greatest preoccupations of the govern
ment is regarding the return Of the
garrisons in Cuba and Porto Rico
The calculations made so far show
that it would have to contract with
the Compania Transatlantica for 2OO,-
OOO passages of different categories,
which would cost about 100000
pesetas. The gravev problem is that
here we have 100000 men returning
vanquished, and. therefore, in any
thing but a pleasant mood. With not
less than 1900 officers. they are con-
Sidered to form a serious danger to
social order. Speaking half-sarcastic-
ally, a we'll known military authority
said it would he much cheaper for the
United States to pay the army in Cuba
to fight for them against the rebels
than to send American soldiers there.
An important parsonage Of the Carlist
party says the
Carlists Will Not Rise
until peace is declared, and if Spain
loses her colonies the Carlists will rise.
l am told by one who hears Il good
deal Of the Carlist gossip that the fol
lowers of Don Carlos have plenty of
money. which has been singularly
lacking up to now. "Where have they
got it from?' asked. "From the
Frailes of the Philippines" The
Frailes are rich priests of the Philip
pines who livcv life Of luxury and
license. but they have at their back an
accumulated capital of forty millions,
which they are now making practical
use Of to help the party which failing
the one now in power, they thing may
come to their rescue. The above state
ment. which was made quite seriously.
is scarcely creditable. but 1 have no
means at hand of affirming or CONTRA
dieting it. 1t is a fact, however, that
the Carlists have found money, and
the worst feature of the affair to those
who wish we'll to Spain is that, we'll
armed, equipped, financed and with
promises such as they are pledged to,
it will be little snort of miracle il
trouble is avoided. u,, to speak plainly,

her cargo was discharged here and
twenty-five Cubans We're put ashore.
Tho Wanderer then headed for the
mouth of Manati river, Province Of
