PEOPLE EAGER TO GET
 AWAY FROM SANTIAGO.
They Crowd Around the British and Austrian Ships and Beg to
 Be Taken Away.

Kingston, Jamaica July Thou sands of people met the launches of the English and Austrian warships at the waterside at Santiago; and when the foreign residents learned that foreign passengers would be taken off the Eng fish and Austrian consulate were be- sieged by hundreds imploring chance to leave.
 One Spanish merchant, in pitiable state of alarm, offered the British con- sul, MT Ramsden, Sl5, GOO in gold to designate him as q British Cuban, worthy to be taken away.
 Those brought to Jamaica came in the clothes they stood in, some even witE absolutely no baggage, having thought only of escaping with their lives
 The noncombattants ill the city were in state of desperate panic. Miss Ramsden, the British consul daughter, says the American shells flew around their house on Saturday and Sunday morning. MT Ramsden could not leave Santiago and his wife would not.
 No one seems to know accurately the strength of the Spanish forces in the city and it's enyisons; but 5000 appears a probable estimate of those fit for duty Streams of wounded have been flowing in day and night from the firing lines. Every fifth house in Santiago is an im- provised hospital.
 The sailing of Admiral Cervera' s fleet had bad effect on the soldiery They were dismayed when they saw the war ships no longer i'll the, harbor and felt themselves abandoned to fate They in- terpreted it to mean that Admiral Ger vera and General Linares considered the city could not be held The destruction of the fleet was not known when the Alert and Pallais left, but was rumored through the city.
 It is understood here that an officer of the Vizcaya, i'll civilian dress, who had been on shore duty, came on the Alert, which is still at Port Royal. The cap tain of the Almirante Oquendo is sup posed to have arrived on the Alert in disguise.
 The archbishop of Santiago, addressed communication to General Linares and the authorities advising surrender of the city and not having received 9 favorable reply, cabled to Madrid on Monday morning before cable communi- cation was interrupted.
 In his cablegram he said: "The Spaniards, having bravely fought and lost should now, i'll the interests of hu- manity, cease the useless struggle. ,
 Brigadier General Vara Del Key, sec ond in command to General Linares, having been killed OH Sunday, and Gen. Linares having been wounded, General Toral is ill chief command in Santiago. Senor Beary, the Mexican consul at Santiago, with eight other persons, has landed from the Austrian warship. It is now learned that the Austrian man-of-war carried r refugees, instead of IS, as originally reported. When the warships left Santiago it was reported that 5000 Spanish troops had arrived from the westward and also that the colonel in command was seri- ously wounded.
