THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES.
Starving People Fiooking to tho American
Cnmp From Santiago.

Starving People FIocking to tho American
Camp From Santiago.
New York, July 1O.-A special to the
Herald from before Santiago says:
The lack of proper hospital faciiities
in the American lines has been accent
uated by the arrival Of 10000 refugees
from Santiago within the Amerlcan
lines. 1t is believed that General III
mares, far from seeking to prevent men,
women and children from leaving the
city, is encouraging the exodus from
the city. Responsibility for the protec-
ton of those non-combatants rested up
on the Spanish commander until the
women and children were admitted
within our lines. Now the RESPONSE
bility of feeding and sheltering these
helpless thousands falls upon inc
Americans. General Shafter has re-
lieved General Linares of n tremen-
dous embarrassment and our army mas
been saddled with 1t. Many or the
refugees do not conceal their hatred OF
the Americans, even while accepting
our food and protection. The condi-
ton of these refugees truly Is appali-
ing. A great majority of the refugees
are from the destitute families OF the
city, and they have no means Of get.
ting further from Santiago than III
Caney or of bettering their condition.
They cannot return to the city until 1t
Is occupied by our army, and we must
care for them rs best we can. Ihe
Red Cross society today opened n re-
lief depot Mt El Caney, and succeeded
temporarily In satisfying the hunger
OF the refugees. There are plenty or
supplies ut Siboney, but there is no
means of transporting the food to FL
Caney. The little village to the north
east of the beleaguered city cannot
hold half Of the refugees.
Thousands are sleeping under shacks
built in the streets and in the woods
One of the most pitlable Of the many
touching scenes being enacted at El
Caney was witnessed early last even
ing when pale. pretty young mother,
clad only in n thin wrapper and hold
ing her thpee-weeks-old babe In her
arms, piteously begged for some con-
dens,d milk for her little one. Mother
and babe so long had been without
nourishment that the child Mt least
must die within few hours. Many
similar cases are reported. No milk
had been received In FL Caney up to
noon to-day.
A wealthy English merchant begged
for can of beans for his family. II
was given to him and he carried 1t
away concealed under his coat lest he
be rotaed. Thousands Of the refugees
deserted I'll Caney and strew the road
oil along the way to Siboney. where
there is no shelter for them. but where
they will get more food. Hundreds OF
sick are gathered about the army COM
mlssaEy station, where, amid unsani-
tary surroundings. gray-haired men
and women totter around begging for
n single piece OF hard tack. Women
fought with one another In their mad
scramble to get into the Red Gross de-
pot. This terrible situation is certain
to continue until Santiago falls. Merci-
fully there has been no rain for three
days, but II must come soon. When 1t
does 1t will redoublc the misery Of the
refugees.

Spanish Omccrs' Quarters.

Annapolis, Nd, July 10.-Coptain p.
Il. Cooper, superintendent of the naval
academy. has completed his prepara.
tions for the care of the eighty Span.
ish officers. Just how much liberty
will be accorded them while here has
not been definitely settled, but tho dis.
position of the authorities is to trca,
them with all possible lcniency. and to
make their enforced stay in Annapolis
rs pleasant as possible under the cir.
cumstances. 1t Is probable that all
will be put on parole and allowed the
fullest use of the beautiful grounds for
promenade and other purposes.
The buildings to be occupied bv them
are known as Goldsborough Row, con-
sisting of nine buildings. These quar-.
tiers are used by the cadets and bachc.

Chicago, July S.-A special cable to
the Chicago Record from its CORE
spondent, John 4. McCutcheon, with
Admiral Dewey's fleet, Manila bay,
July 4th, via Hong Kong. says:
The American troops under General
Anderson, which have reached the
Philippines, are now comfortably quar-
tered in the Spanish military barracks
at Cavite and are busy preparing for
active service against the Spanish. NO
attack on Manila is probable before the
arrival of the second detachment of
troops under General Greene, which Is
expected soon. The present force of
soldiers and marines is considered III
sufficient to protect life and property
in Manila In the event of the capitula.
tion of that city. The soldiers, how
ever, are all eager to begin the fight
Ing.
Captain General Augusti has desired
TO surrender Manila for some time, and
for that reason the Spanish council,
which is conducting the defense. trans
ferred the military leadership from
him to the senior colonel of artillery.
The insurgents control the city water
works and have cut or the supply from
that source. but rs this is the rainy
season ana there Is u clOuuDurSt every
day. the Spaniards do not suffer from
lack of water. A more serious matter
for them at present is that the insur-
gents have captured San Juan Del
Monte. n few miles to the rear. which
had been fitted up with old cannon and
supply of ammunition and prOvis-
Ions to serve rs the last stronghold OF
the Spanish government after the
forces should be driven out of Manila

TORALWANTEDTE TERMS
BUT THEY WERE REFUSED.
Tho Attack Began Sunday Afternoon and
Will he Pushed Vigorously.

Washington, July 10.-The first
proposition from the Spanish COM
mander came yesterday morning
through General Shnfter. The Ameri-
can officer cabled to General Alger that
General Llnares offered to surrender
the city, on condition that he and the
troops were allowed to return to Spain.
Secretary Alger ut once took the dis
patch over to the White House, where
1t was the subject of consideration,
and the decision was reached not to nc
cept the proposition. General Shafter
was notified that nothing short OF un-
conditional surrender would be consld-
cred by this government.
Linares then asked that the truce be
continued for twenty-four hours that
he might consider 1t and consult with
Madrid and Captain General Blanco.
General Shafter granted his request.
1t Is understood that further negotia-
tions have been conducted by Generals
Shafter and Llnares. and that the lat
est terms proposed are Mt the White
House.
The extension of truce has been most
advantageous to the American forces,
according to General Shafter's dis
patch. He has taken advantage of 1t
by bringing up additional batteries. and
III hihhihS lurtner preparations lot tne
assault on the Spanish forces.
The result of the failure OF peace
proposals is seen In the following dis
patch received late tonight.
