Spanish Cabinet Minister Comments on
the Rumors Of Peace.
MADRID, July 1y.-After the cabinet
council the ministers asserted that
Santiago do Cuba had again refused
the American demand for surrender.
Duke Almodevar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, said there was nothing
to justify reports regarding conclu.
sion of peace.
The government has issued loan of
500, 900, 900 pesetas in treasury bonds at
per cent, of which amount the Bank
Of Spain takes 800, 900, 900 pesetas.
Several Spanish newspapers continue
the violent anti.peace campaign. The
Ejercito Espanol, service paper, says:
"If we make peace now we deserve
to be spat in the face. If Santiago falls
there still remain 10000 Spaniards in
Cuba who are determined to defend the

Santiago Must Surrender at Once or .
Desperate Battle Follows.
WAsHIEaToN, July l4.-Among the
best informed administration officials
the opinion is universal that the crisis
in the Santiago campaign is at hand.
It is deemed certain that another day
will witness either desperate fight or
an unconditional surrender on the part
Of the Spanish forces, with the chances
Of both so evenly divided that there is
scarcely q toss.up between them. The
war officials are hoping for a surrender
of the city, aud they generally believe
General Toral, the Spanish com.
mander, will yield at the last moment
rather than subject his men to what
would inevitably be losing fight.
General Skaters command is now in
excellent condition and spirits Strong
reinforcements have arrived and are at
the front. 80

Said 1t Will Bo Inaugurated Promptly
Upon the Fall of the City Of
Santiago.
NEW YORK, July 14.-A special to
The Tribune from Washington says:
The actual departure OF Commodore
Watson's raiding squadron for the
coast of Spain. which the naval author.
tiles think will occur about the end of
the present week, indicates sufficiently
the complete abandonment of any in.
tention to besiege Havana in the next
three or four months and confirms the
impression that no extended military
operations will be begun in Cuba after
the capture of Santiago. The opera.
tions of the vessels during the in
vestment of Santiago and the
tedious delays have convinced
the authorities that Havana
cannot be captured with less than
100000 men, with one of our naval
forces in the Atlantic. Ordinarily one
of the best fortified places in the world,
Havana has been made almost impreg.
nable during the past two months by
the indefatigable efforts of Blanoo, who
has surrounded it with ,entrsnchments,
in addition to the new batteries he has
mounted along the coast. With the
naval vessels attached to the Atlantic
squadron our vessels would be power.
less against Havana, and it would be
impossible to take the city with less
than six months campaign, which
would be out of tho question before
midwinter, on account of the horrible
climatic conditions.
The Porto Rico Campaign.
Promptly upon the fall of Santiago.
1t is announced tho expedition to Porto
Rico is to be undertaken, with General
Miles III command of three divisions
aggregating moro than 10000 men. He
will have the cooperation of Admiral
SIMPSONS heaviest ships in the assault
on San Juan, and it is his intention to
clear the entire island of Spanish troops
with every energy at his command.
His entire force will include practically
all the regular and volunteer troops
now at Santiago, the Cubans and i'm
munes being left to hold that province.
In addition to the fleet of 48 transports
already secured to carry troops to
Porto Rico, including tho 80 that
formed General Skaters main expedi-
tion, the navy has consented to tempo.
rary use of tho auxiliary cruisers, the
St. Paul, the St. Louis, tho Yale and
the Harvard to carry regiments that
will be available for the work.
Expect Yellow Fever.
The medical corps of the army ex.
poets yellow fever to appear among the
troops at Santiago at any time. The
light fevers which are now invaliding
many of the men may at any moment
assume malignant types. For this rea.
son urgent recommendations have been
made that the troops be taken out of
the country as soon as possible. The
surgeons declare that the horrors of q
long continued siege will be incalcula.
BILE and in their emphatic opinion it
will be better to lose hundreds of men
in an aggressive assault than to expose
the entire army and this country as
well to devastating epidemic of yel.
low fever J. ,
