that the United States would accept no

McKinley's proposal and would consent
to no other terms than those offered by
himself
At 3:15 p m, Gen. Shafter notified
Gen. Toral that the armistice would be
terminated and hostilities resumed at
o'clock. At the same time he issued
instructions to each of the division
commanders to prepare for a fresh at
tack on the Spanish works. These or
ders have been promulgated from
AguadOreS to Ell Caney. When the
courier left with this dispatch, just be-
