be attended to at once, and did not
wish to send any news that was not
fully confirmed.
Spanish feet left the harbor this
morning and is reported as practi-
cally destroyed.

TRUCE AT SANTIAGO.
Bombardment Delayed to Allow Non
CombatantS to Leave.

The Secretary OF War has received
long and most important dispatch
from Gen. Shafter. 1t is the one
which has excited much rumor, but
the essential points can now be given
authoritatively. 1t states Skaters
demand for the surrender OF san
tiago at noon today on pain OF be M
bardment. Thereupon, the foreign
consuls at Santiago made a joint rep
resentation, requesting that women
and children in the city have until
Tuesday noon to withdraw before
the bombardment begins. The Span
ish general declined to surrender at
the time first set by Shafter.
AT present a truce exists, pending
the expiration OF the twenty-four
hours asked for by the foreign con-
suls.

In the early hours OF Independence
Day official dispatches were given
out at the War Department confirm
ing the earlier rumors of the de-
struction OF Admiral Cervera's fleet
At Santiago. The information had
been received by the President at
least two hours earlier. but the news
was so important, and withal, so
startling, that it was withheld lest
later reports should not beHr it out.
Promptly at I2 O'Clock, however, the
President gave his consent To- nro-
mitigation of the dispatches, conv' y
Ing to a waiting nation the glad d
ings Of a victory no less complete
than that achieved at Manila by the
intrepid Dewey.

The District Troops Are On the Way
to Santiago.

A telegram was received by Ad-
jutant General Corbin today from
Major General Coppinger, stating
that the Ist Regiment of District OF
Columbia Volunteers sailed from
Tampa at 80 yesterday for Santi-

troops mentioned as being on that
vessel. Two other transports sailed
at the same time as the Catania and
their departure, the dispatch said,
left no more transports at Tampa.
while the hour of sailing is fixed in
the telegram at 1890, it is stated at
the War Department that the steam
er did not get really started until
$50 in the afternoon, but that by
this afternoon the District bows are
well on their way to reinforce Gen
eral Shafter.
