NOT TOLD 70 SURRENDER.
Gen. ToraI Acted on His Own
Responsibility.
EXPLANATION FROM MADRID.
Gen. Blanco Tells His Home Government
That the Utmost Enthusiasm Prevails
at Havana-Spanish Commander at

Madrid, July PA semi-official note
has been published here explaining the
circumstances, from Spanish stand
point, Of the surrender Of Santiago de
Cuba 1t declares that the letter which
Gen. Toral lis alleged to have written
to Gen. Shafter" is aprocryphal, as the
Geographic version contains a state
ment which it is impossible for Gen.
Toral to have made, because it is I'M
true that his government authorized
him to capitulate."
The note continues: what hap
pened was that the war ministers re-
ceived two kilograms from Capt.-Gen.
Blanco. The first described Gen. Tor
ais position, which was most pitiful,
because of the want of provisions and
ammunition. 1t also detailed the
enemy's proposals. In the second tele-
gram Capt Gen. Blanco gave the terms
of the capitulation and requested in
struction. The war minister replied to
both telling Capt.-Gen. Blanco to leave
every initiative to Gen. Toral, for it
was impossible to recommend any 9TH
err line of conduct Gen. Toral accord
ingly acted as he thought advisable,
and would explain before a court-mar-
tial the motives which induced him 20
capitulate."
An official dispatch from Capt.-Gen.
Blanco announces that the greatest en-
thusiasm prevails there. and that the
feeling in favor of resisting the Yam
kee' is universal. 1t further asserts
that the commanders Of the volunteer
forces, at conference under the pres
idency of Gen. Arolas, military gov
ernor of Havana, resolved to exhaust
their resources and die rather than
surrender"
The American warships, the dispatch
says, are off Manzanillo. apparently
awaiting instructions, but the bonn
bardment has not been resumed.
Gen. Parreja, the Spanish comman-
der at Guantanamo, refuses to be in
cluded in the "capitulation" of Santi-
ago de Cuba According to Spanish
law, a commander can surrender the
troops which he personally commands,
but he cannot oblige other commanders
at distant points, even though under
his authority, to follow suit. Conse-
quently it is held here that the "ca-
pitulation' comprises only about 1000
troops actually at Santiago.

Tampa have been detained. The Res

night with about 81 100000, did not go,
and the money will be returned to the
subtreasury in New York. Gen. Shat
ter intercepted the departure by a tel
egram saying that the army was in no
condition to be paid, and that it was
not practical to have the paymasters at
the front. He asked that the work be
deferred until he sent orders.

LITERARY NOTES.

"Caleb West, Master Driver" is the
title of the latest book by f. Hopkin-
son Smith. author of TON Grogan,"
''Gondola Days" etc. Competent crit
les declare that it is not only the best
story Mr.. Smith has yet written. butit
is one of the strongest, manifest, breezi-
est stories written ON either side of the
Atlantic for many day; and it seems
safe to predict for it an immediate ana
lasting popularity. The book is pub
listed by IIoughton, Mifflin & Co., Bos-
ton and New York, and is the custom
with these publishers the work of print
ing and binding is par excellence. The
pages are as neat as the printers art
can make them and the quality of pa
per is far superior to that ordinarily
used. In a beautiful and substantial
cover it is one of the neateSt books that
has come to our table this year.
Houghton, Miffiin & Co. announce
cat the Sign of the Silver Crescent"
by Helen Choate Prince, whose previous
novels have been so favorably received.
Like those, this is story of modern
French life, the scene being for little
while at Paris, later and principally in
Touraine. The characters include the
heroine, who has married wealthy
Jew in order to restore the shattered
fortunes of her family; another
woman who wishes to be the heorine;
an unprincipled and shifty cure; a
young Englishman studying French;
and yonng American studying art.
This last may be accounted the hero.
The story is written with sufficient
local precision to render it effective,
and with even greater literary skill
than that which marked Mrs. Princes
other novels. 1t is distinctly readable,
and leans fifty to virtues side. 1t
ought to be a popular summer book.
Bret Harte's many admirers will
welcome a new collection of stories
which Messrs. Houghton, Mitfiin &c
Co., Boston and New York, have re-
Gently published. Under the title
"Tales of Trail and Town" Mr.. Harte
gathers eight stories, part of them
located in California, which is pre-
eminently his own literary domain,
part in Eurpoe-but all told with that
sure touch and that literary felicity
which gi ve him his somewhat unique
position among modern story-tellers.
The tales include: 1.-The Strange Ex-
perience of Alkali Dick" ''The Judg-
ment of Bolinas Plain, lathe Ancestors
of Peter Atherly," "Peter Atherly's
Kindred,""A Tale of Three Truants,"
"a Night on the Divide" 1.-TWO Amer
leans" 1.-THE Youngest Prospector in
Calaveras." Variety of theme and char
acter is certainly assured here, and
readableness-in Mr.. Harte's stories

Cup1AIL COTTON PRODUCTION.
Many Signatures Being Appended to
the Proposed Agreement.

Fall River, Mass, July 22.-Progress
in the work of obtaining signatures to
the agreement to curtail the production
of cotton goods is slow but steady.
The agreement calls for shutdown Of
at least 5000, 900 spindles, one-half be-
ing in the mills in this city. Some
members of the committee are in out
side centers looking for signatures.
The impression here is that the mills
in Rhode Island will join when GER
tain number of spindles in this city are
represented. There is much discussion
among local manufacturers regarding
the amount of stock reported on hand
here. 1t is said on the authority of a
broker, we'll posted, that the stock on
hand is not more than 100000 pieces,
of which 500, 900 pieces are regulars.

supposition that British squadron
would prevent the American squadron
from passing the straits, but the sug-
gestion is regarded as improbable.
