ANOTHER TOWN GIVES IN.
Guantanamo Finally Surrenders to
the Americans.


Copyright 1888, by the Associated Press.)
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July q, Ills p. m.
Lieut. Col Angel Resell, who, after TAX
ing confirmation of the instructions TO sur
render from General Toral to General
Baroja, military governor of Guantanamo.
returned here this afternoon, said to an
Associated Press correspondent that the
first intimation that Guantanamo had of
the surrender of Santiago and the terms
thereof was on July %, when Pear Admiral
Sampson sent a letter to General Paroja
asking what number rations should be sent
to his garrison, as they had been surren-
dered on the 18th. General Paroja, being
ignorant of the surrender, refused to credit
the message and accept rations, answering
Admiral Sampson to that effect. Admiral
Sampson then sent copy of the terms of
surrender, whereupon General Paroja de-
cided to inquire of General Toral at Santa
go, whether the news was true; and Lieut..
Col. Resell was appointed to come here.
He returned with this confirmation and the
surrender of Guantanamo took place yes
terday.
Colonel Resell says the conditions at
Guantanamo are awful and the troops are
literally starving. For the last eight days
they have had no food. On mounting guard
the soldiers were obliged to sit. being too
weak to stand, and it was impossible to
make them build trenches as they fell from
exhaustion. There are two thousand sick
in Guantanamo, suffering from diseases in
creased by hunger. The French cruiser
Rigault De Geneuilly was refused permits
sion by Admiral Sampson to land grain and
provisions for the relief of the French
colony at Guantanamo. All hope was
abandoned and the sufferers were awaiting
death from starvation. The conditions OF
Guantanamo. Colonel Resell says, are worse
than those at Santiago.

He Expected 1000 Cases OF Yellow
Fever by July 20.


Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
DIVISION HOSPITAL CAMP. Juragua,
July 15.-"There are two hundred yellow
fever cases here and at the front to-day.
There will be a thousand If we remain here
two weeks longer
This was the prediction made this after
noon by DR.. Sem. the government yellow
fever expert, who. with DR.. Guiteras Is
looking after the health of the army in that
particular line. The bolt of fever has fallen
out of an apparently clear sky. Three cases
were discovered four days ago. There were
twenty the next night. Now there are two
hundred DR.. Senns estimate of one thou
sand in two weeks seems conservative in
the face of these figures. 81
DR.. GuiteraS said to-day: 81 cannot say
that the fever is Of a mild type. but there
has been only one death so far. though there
have been two cases of suppression and two
of black vomit, symptoms supposed to mark
only the last stages OF asdesperate case. All
four of these, however, seem 10 be doing
well.
