WASHINGTON, July 14.-That tho sd-

made apparent by the offer made to
General Toral to send the Spanish
forces to Spain If they surrender i'm

stated that the president would insist
upon unconditional surrender, but 1t
appears that conditions have been mod

desire to avoid useless bloodshed, TOR
General Torals army removed to Spain

Their operations in Cuba and would
serve as good purpose as would the
destruction of the Spanish army. To
allow the Spanish general to withdraw
to the interior and fall back on Havana
would put Us under the obligation Ct
overcoming that additional force when
1t comes to the siege Of Havana. Our
government is also moved to make this
proposal to
Remove the Spanish Forces to Spain
through strong desire to close up the
operations at Santiago at the earliest
possible moment. This desire has been
materially strengthened by the appear.
ance Of yellow fever within the Amer.
loan lines. It was at first supposed
that the men were falling i'll with
malaria and climatic fever, so the cases
were reported as simply suspicious.
Now, however. comes the final udmis-

cases. Their appearance has deter.

active prosecution of the campaign.
