The Offer to Surrender.

[Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press
 On board the Associated Press dis patch boat Wanda, off Juragua, Satur- day, July 9, p. n., via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Sunday, July 10, a. m., and Kingston, Jamaica, July 10, 1o:40 a. m. The surrender of Santigo was formal ly offered by the Spanish commander, General Toral, to-day, but the condi- tions attached caused a prompt refus- al of the offer by General Shafter. The negotiations, however, resulted in the extension of the armistIce until noon Sunday, and a white flag of truce still float over the opposing armies. It is deemed probably that the truce will be extended even beyond the time desig- mated, as the offer of General Toral to surrended on any terms is regarded as an indication that the Spanish com mander decided to surrender upon the best terms obtainable.

HEALTH OF AMERICAN TROOPS,
1t is Reported as Excellent Although
 Water Supply is Poor.

Off Juragua, Saturday, July 9.-The general condition of the health of the American troops is excellent, but the water supply is poor and number of cases of malarial fever have developed. No deaths have resulted, however, and
 in nearly all the instances the fever has been broken up by a liberal use of qui- nine. The hardships of the campaign and the fears of possible attacks of fe- yer have rid the army in the field and on the coast of practically all non-com- batants with the exception of a few newspaper correspondents who have been on the ground since the American warships appeared of Santiago and who constitute the only force able to report the progress of the war with the assistance of the dispatch boat service.
 The second fleet of transports arrived off Juragua this morning bearing 2,50O troops. including large detachment of

TALK OF PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Report That It Has Led to No Tangible Results.

London. July 11.--A special dispatch from Madrid says: "All the talk about peace negotiations has led to no tam gible results. No doubt the govern
 nent would welcome an opportunity to negotiate Automatically with the United States were the signs propitious. The fall of Santiago will convince the most sanguine of the hopelessness of the struggle, and will give the govern ment the desired opportunity at least to suggest an armistice for the dis cussion of terms. Circumstantial state ments are already in circulation to the effect that the war is virtually ended and that the government has actually opened peace negotiations, but they cannot be verified. A detailed account of Spain's naval losses-twenty- -one Warships and twenty-one merchant men, as against practically no losses on the American side.
 This tends to convince the most rabid war advocate and as for a long time past, the whole commercial and indus trial interests of Spain are bringing strong influence to bear in favor of peace. Every day that passes without disturbances strengthens the peace party. It is believed, however, that there is strong undercurrent in favor of continuing the war and the attitude of the Carlists and republicans causes anxiety A mysterious, black edged, unsigned manifesto appeared in the leading squares of Madrid to-day, Sunday, bearing the municipal stamp and headed 'Cleria Victis,' with an an- gel supporting a dead, naked soldier. The manifesto contains an eloquent ap- peal from Spanish mothers calling for the reorganization of the country on the basis of the army and crying: Down with bribed politicians and a bought press" Four million copies of the manifesto have been distributed throughout Spain and it Is attracting considerable attention. The whole of Admiral Camaras squadron, with the exception of the Pelayo and the San Augustin, which are waiting at Port Said for transfer of coal, Is now en route for Spain"

artillery. If the peace negotiations fail these heavy guns will be a most valua- ble addition to the artillery now in the field, and it is expected that they will be rushed forward to the front. The new troops will be landed tomorrow and pushed forward as rapidly as pos sible. The days of temporary peace are being utilized by both armies in strengthening their defenses. The Americans have strongly entrenched themselves and the artillery now at the front has been placed in a strong posi- tion behind earthworks and will be able to cover the advance of the troops much more effectively than during the previous engagement. The feeling is strong among officers and men that Santiago will surrender without fur ther fighting. The wounded in the hos pltals are being well cared for. and in almost every instance are recovering rapidly.

Wounded at Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, July 1O.-The transports Iroquois and Cherokee brought 45O wounded men from Santiago. These have been distributed to-day to posi- tions on shore, and the transports are awaiting orders. At daylight the long train of hospital cars was thrown open for the reception of those who were go- ing to Fort McPherson, and 223 men were placed aboard. Eighty-seven men were sent to the general hospital of the Fourth army corps, and the surgeons there had their first experience in dress ing war wounds. While the sufferers lay upon the rough pine table they gave an account of how the wounds were received. Invariably they said when then Mauser bullets struck they were knocked down, but suffered little. The holes seemed to have been neatly drill ed through the flesh or bone, making no laceration.

SPOKE IN STAMFORD.
General Stewart l.. Woodford, United
 States Minister to Spain.

Stamford, July 10.-General Stewart L. Woodford, United States minister to Spain, who is visiting here, delivered stirring address at patriotic service in the Presbyterian church this even- ing. He spoke mainly about the war with Spain and in the course of his address said that no nation had ever drawn the sword in cause like that which the United States is now fight ing. He dwelt briefly upon the victo- ries of this country upon the land and sea and praised the men who have shown themselves heroes. He said that he firmly believed that the result of this war would be to belt the earth with liberty. The general spoke very earnestly and the audience, which was a large one, applauded him frequently. General Woodford was resident of Stamford before the last war and was a member of the church in which he spoke tonight.

JaPANEsE CRUISER KASAGI.
To Have an Official Trial Tomorrow
 Japanese Pleased.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 1o.-The Japanese cruiser Kasagi dropped an- chor off Portsmouth at o'clock this evening. The big cruiser came around from Philadelphia without stopping, merely circling around between Dela- ware Breakwater and Cape May to ad- just compasses The Kasagi left the Breakwater at about 10:30 Saturday morning and made an average of IS knots until midnight Saturday night, when she ran into a dense fog, which compelled her to slow down. The Jap- anese minister did not come aboard but Secretary of Legation M. Kurahashi, Naval Attache Atari, Chief Engineer Kernahoshire and Naval Constructing Engineer s. Takakura and Naval Con- structor T. Ito were on the trip The big cruiser behaved splendidly, all of the Japanese being much pleased. The cruiser went over the course to-day to see that the buoys are in proper place for her trial on Tuesday. Her f1ues and machinery will be cleaned to-mor- . row

SUNDAY LAW YIOLdTORS.
Two Raids i'm the Howard Avenue Pre-
 cinct Yesterday.

Two raids on alleged liquor law vio- lators were made in the Howard ave- nue precinct yesterday. At 11:20 in the forenoon Patrolman Colwell visited the house of man named Pritchard at No. 139 Lafayatte street. The officer found a two quart pail full of cider, which Pritchard said he had purchased at the grocery store of Fred Bernfeld at No. 105 Lafayette street. The facts of the case will be reported to the prosecut- ing agent Bernfeld admitted selling the cider"
 Sergeant Williams with Patrolman Hyde and Horan visited the house of Orsola R. Sommervilla at 67 Grant street with search warrant Som- mervilla was suspected of violation of the Sunday law and selling without a license. The officers found at his place twenty-five bottles of beer, an empty beer keg, bottle of whiskey and fif- ty-seven empty beer bottles. Sommer- villa will probably be arrested to-day.

General Toral, the Spanish commander, will surrender when he finds that it will be impossible for him to evacuate the city. Upon what ground this belief is based could not be ascertained, but that information to that effect is in the hands of war officials there Is no doubt. General Shafter's dispatch tonight shows that he is engaged now in strengthening his position, and to-mor- row will follow up his operations with a final assault upon the city.

EVERYTHING WAS READY.
Americans Had Their Guns in Position
 When Bombardment Commenced.

When Bombardment Commenced.
 ECopyrlght, 1898, The Associated Press,l
 Before Santiago, July 1O.-Every- thing on the firing line was ready when the bombardment commenced. The dynamite gun, which has been In po- sition for several days, is working bet ter than at the time of the battle of San Juan. and it is predicted that it's charges, consisting of twenty pounds of gun cotton and gelatine will work great havoc in the Spanish trenches. mounted and working splendidly and they are relied upon to do most effect i've work in shelling the city. Three batteries of artillery are now posted on Fl Paso ridge, 2,400 yards from the town, and the Capron and Grimes bat teries are 1,500 yards to the north of the road in the rear of General Law tons division. In firing the field guns are being used to shell the town over the heads of our own men. The dyna- mite gun is so placed that it enfiladates several of the panish lines.
 On the other hand, during the truce which so far as regards the continu- ing of preparation of defense or at tack was no truce whatever, the Span iards were not idle. They mounted guns and some of these are of much heavier calibre than any the American army can bring into play. Some of their guns are of antiquated pattern and not capable of much damage, but others are very different and capable of excellent work. One seven-inch gun which had so perfect a range during the battle of San Juan of many ridges, been located with especial care by the American gunners and it will be the recipient of much attention.
 General Bates, division, which holds the extreme left of the line, moved for ward to-day to a new position 400 yards in advance of it's former line. It was since the battle of San Juan planted along the edge of a preclpltous ravine, the walls of which are about eight feet high. This ravine is about 700 yards long and about 400 yards wide. General Bates moved the Twen- tieth infantry to the side of the ravine nearest Santiago and placed the Third infantry, which with the Twentieth, forms his brigade, at right angles to the line of the Twentieth. The extreme left of his line is the extreme left of tn American army and is about oppo- site the upper end of Santiago harbor and from four to six miles from the coast line. Great things are expected quoted throughout the army as saying that he would drop one shell into the city every five minutes and if that is not sufficient to do the work, he will drop one every two minutes. This fire, in addition to what the land forces will turn in, it is thought will be sufficient to reduce the Spaniards to a point where they will surrender.
 General Hawkins, commanding the First brigade of General Rents divi- sion, who was wounded in the foot during the attack made on our lines by the Spaniards, has returned to the United States and Colonel Theaker of the Sixteenth infantry has succeeded General Hawkins in the command of the brigade and Colonel Wood of the Rough Riders has succeeded General Young. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt commands the Rough Riders.
