GERMAN SHIPS
MUST OBEY EVE
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
London, July ia despatch to the Daily
Mail from Hong Kong says it is now known
that Admiral Dewey ordered the correspon-
dents at Manila not to give the full story
concerning the action of the German war
ship Irene. for fear of arousing feelings in
the United States which might lead to com
plications with Germany.
The correspondent adds that when the de-
tails of the affair are known it will be seen
that the incident was more serious than first
appeared.
As soon as the American warships appeared
at the entrance Of Subig Bay the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out, leaving
her anchor at the bottom. Consul Wildman
refuses to say anything more about the
matter.
1t is believed that when the monitors
Monterey and Monadnock arrive in Manila
Bay Admiral Dewey will insist that his
regulations be observed to the letter by the
German warships. 1t is the opinion of
foreigners in Manila that the Americans will
never forgive the Germans for their meddle-
sOmeness.

The Whole Eastern End of the Island
Falls Into the Hands of Our Govern
neutrality-suspicious. Before the Surrender,
Generals Miles, Shafter, Wheeler and
Other Generals Participating, With Gen
eral Toral Brought the Spaniards Face
to Face With the Inevitable.
Playa Del Este, July 15.-General
Toral, commanding the Spanish forces
in Santiago de Cuba, yesterday morn
ing sent a communication to General
Shafter, indicating his willingness to
accept the terms of surrender proposed
Wednesday and asking the American
commander to appoint commissioners
to meet the Spanish commissioners to
arrange to send the Spanish troops
back to Spain.
This will be promptly done.
The surrender of General Toral not
only means the fall of Santiago, but by
the terms of surrender the whole east
ern end of the island falls into the
hands of the United States without
firing a shot.
The surrender is TO include all the
Spanish troops at Santiago, Guantan-
amo, Caimanera and Sagua, composing
the Fourth corps of the Spanish army.
The portion of the province of San
tiago de Cuba that lies east of the
line from Sagua, via Las Pamas, to
A~sserradores is surrendered to the
United States.
The Spanish forces involved in the
o%apitulation of Santiago, which com
prise about $4,000 troops, will not be
taken back to Spain in American yes,
sells, but 1t is the purpose of our gov
eminent to ask for proposals for their
transportation.

BEFORE THE SURRENDER
Negotiations Between General Toral and
Generals Miles and Shafter.
HobSon Present.

Playa Del Este, July 15.-General
Shafter on Monday did not again de-
mand the unconditional surrender
which General Toral had refused on
Sunday, but offered as an alternative
proposition to accept the c~apitulation
of the enemy and to transport the
Spanish officers and troops to Spain,
they to leave all their arms behind
and he to accept their parole. 1t was
declined Tuesday.
On Wednesday it was decided to hold
a personal interview with General
Toral. General Miles and his staff
who had got no further than General
Skaters headquarters, accompanied
by General Shafter and his staff, rode
out to the front shortly before s o'clock
under a flag of truce, A request for a
personal interview with the Spanish
commander-in-chief was made and ac-
coded to, and at about 8 o'clock Cen
eral Miles, General Shafter, General
Wheeler, General Gilmour, Colonel
Morse, Captain Wiley and Colonel
Maus rode up, passed over our en-
trenchments and went down into the
valley beyond. They were met by
General Toral and his chief of staff
under a spreading mango tree, at the
bottom of the valley, about half way
between the lines. The interview that
followed lasted almost an hour.
The situation was placed frankly be-

the alternative of being sent home
with his garrison or leaving Santiago
province. The only condition imposed
was that he should not destroy the
existing Notifications and should
leave his arms behind. This latter
condition the Spanish general, who
does not speak English, explained
through his interpreter was impossible.
He said the laws of Spain gave a gen
eral nc discretion. He might abandon
a place when he found it untenable,
but he could not leave his arms behind
without subjecting himself to the PEN
atty of being court martialed and shot.
His government, he said, had granted
him permission to ~evacuate Santiago.
That was all. Further than that he
was powerless to go.
Without saying so in words, General
Miles said the tenor of General Toral's
remarks all betrayed his realization
that he would not hold out long. When
General Shafter explained that our re-
Inducements We're coming up, that he
was completely surrounded, and that
new batteries were being posted, Cen

being to confer with the brewers
of the county for the purpose Of
fixing a price that would be agreeable to
both sides, the war tax having added $1.OO
per barrel. A committee called upon the
brewers last week and each promised to send
a representative TO the meeting, but the only
one that put in an appearance was the rep
resentative of the Kaier Brewing Company.
Before taking final action it was decided to
give the brewers another chance. The prop.

SPAIN IS READY

Washington, July 15.-Presideut McKiu-

Information that Spain is willing to make
concessions to obtain peace, although no
official proposition has as yet reached this

to concede the independence Of cuba, the
transfer Of Porto Rico to the United States
in exchange for the Philippines, and to allow
the United States a coaling station in the
latter islands.
