Off Juragua, July 5, Z pm, via Kingston,
Jamaica, July 6.-The roads leading from
Santiago de Cuba have been black today
with people fleeing from the dreaded bonn
bardment by the Americans. flag of
truce has fioated over the walls of the city
and above the entertainments of the be-
sieging army all day. The unofficial ar
mistice, which terminated at noon, is being
extended until tomorrow noon at the re-
quest of the foreign consuls and during the
lull in the fighting the Spanish commander
has permitted all non-conlbatants TO leave
This fact is generally accepted among the
officers at headquarters as an indication of
grim determination on the part of the
Spanish to fight it out
The negotiations looking to the surrender
of the city have not been concluded, no
formal reply to Gen. Skaters last demand
has been received, but not one of the hun
dreds who fled from the city today believed
that surrender was possible.
A rumor was persistently circulated
about headquarters this afternoon that the
enemy had offered to surrender if permitted
to retain their arms and coiors, and that
the cable to Washington was hot with dis
patches concerning the proposition, but the
it is absolutely without confirmation here.
No shot was fired today by either side
and the American forces took advantage of
the lull to strengthen materially their po-
sition.
About $500 refugees, mostly French peo-
pie, have gone to Caney, and others have
gone to Moran and st. Luis.
The exodus of refugees is permitted by
Gen. Toral, which is taken to mean that
he has no intention of surrendering. The
foreign eonsLls have probably all gone. as
no response could be obtained from them
in answer to a flag of truce at noon today.
Gen. Shafter this morning sent some
wounded Spanish officers and men, under
a flag Of truce, into Santiago, and it is
hoped that this will have good effect in
! showing that Americans are kind to their
| prisoners.
The American commanding general here
| has issued an order congratulating the
troops upon their gallant achievements.
Gems. Lawton, Wheeler and Kent, with the
officers and men under them, are especially
commended

Great Suffering for Water Among

Ell Caney, Province of Santiago de Cuba,
Tuesday Evening, July 5, per the Asso-
ciated Press Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Port
Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica. - Fifteen
thousand refugees today filed the roads
leading from Santiago to FL Caney, Boni-
ato, San Vicente and San Louis, adjacent
places. The exodus was in response to
proclamation by Gen. Ros, a political gen
eral in Santiago, who gave all people desir-
GUS Of leaving the city to escape the bonn
bardment a chance to go between 8 and 3
o'clock this morning.
The rime between the issuance of the
proclamation and the period set for leav-
Ing gave only q small opportunity for
transporting household effects or any of
the comforts Of life, particularly as the
Spanish authorities had forbidden any horse
or carriage to DE taken from the city, as
horses are needed there for carrying water
to the men in the trenches.
The way to Ell Caney is long and the
weather excessively hot. AS the fugftfves
had no means Of carrying water, and as
there is none on the road between Santiago
and Ell Caney, there was great suffering.
Men, women and children lay alongside the
road wherever there was a small patch OF
shade, begging passers-by, particularly
soldiers with dangling canteens, for water,
which was always freely rendered.
One old man, with a long silver beard,
was carried up long road on a litter by
four young men. When they reached the
town all the available space was occupied,
and no place was found for the sick man
but spot of bare ground in the middle of
the plaza,

There is said to be great dispute be-

Three thousand foreign residents of the
city passed through our lines yesterday.
The Spanish naval prisoners, captured af-
ter the battle of Santiago are thorougky

One mast was shot away on the Oquendo

SPAIN TO ASK PEACE
Adviees That Pacific Overtures Nav B,
Expected.
Expected Change In the Ministry
CamPos to Become Premier i'm
a New Cabinet.

Unofficial advices to the administration
from sources heretofore accurate say Spain
will sue for peace this week.
All views were strongly optimistic here
today. Possibly the Presidents expressed
hope for peace in his proclamation issued
last night may have been the first basis
for these rosy views, but there were con-
firmatory evidences, coming from sources
that have so far proved to be unfaiiingly
accurate, that seem to afford foundation
for the expectation that some overtures in
the direction of peace may shortly be ex-
pected, though, Of course, 1t cannot be be-
heyed that peace itself could be consum-
mated Immediately.
The most significant advice was one from
Spain stating positively that within the
week that country would sue for peace.
1t was also declared that Martinez Cam
pos, Weylers predecessor as captain gen.
eral of Cuba and one of the best and most
reasonable minds of Spain, is to be made
prime minister of the new Spanish cab-
net, which is sure to be erected within a
few days on the wreck of the Sagasta cabi-
neS This information accords well with
advices that have been coming in for the
past week to show that some of the Eu-
ropean powers at least have bestirred
yield to the inevitable and ask for peace.
No Overtures.
Again, 1t can be stated authoritatiyely
that up to this time no overtures have been
made to our government looking to peace.
This fact, however, does not in any sense
offset or qualify the first statement, name
ly, that movements in that direction are
afoot in Europe. It~could not be expected
that the United States government would
receive kindly a suggestion that it should
make the initial movement toward peace,
and therefore no overtures from the Euro
pean powers or from Spain directly could
be expected until the Spanish government
had either directly or through some friend
ly power made an advance in that direc-
ton. When that is done, however, and
some such move is expected very shortly,
our government viii be perfectly ready to
respond if approached in the proper spirit.
