WAR TO DEATH.
Spanish People Don't Want
Peace With Yanks.
Defense Works Being Actively Pushed
at All Spanish Ports.
Increase Of Octroi Rates Causing Disturbance
In Provinces Military Dictatorship.

Madrid. July 1s.-The defence works
are being actively pushed at all the
Spanish ports. The newspapers here
assert that the United States intends
to demand an enormous indemnity,
in order to have the pretext to seize
the Philippines as a guarantee"
The supposed American peace terms
are greatly exciting the public and the
opinion is expressed among the peo-
pie that war to the death would DO
preferable to the ruin of Spain.
The increase in the octroi rates. or
the duty on produce taken into the
towns. is causing turbulence in the
rural districts of Spain. The popu-
lace of the province of Huelva has re-
belled against the imports of corn and
-four and attacked and set fire to a
number of public buildings. The
troops had to be called or to, repress
the disorder.
The Paris organ of the Republicans
advocates a military dictatorship, and
the Republicans are endeavoring to
secure the support of the army and
navy for this purpose.
Lieut. George Correa, minister Of
war. received dispatch from Gen.
Blanco, including Gen. Torars report
of the capitulation of Santiago de
Cuba. Gen. Torals report is dated,
Saturday evening, July &c. and it's de-
tails accord with reports already pub
lished.
When Gen. Toral consulted the Mad
rid government about the surrender Of
Santiago, Premier Sagasta saw that it
would be expedient to utilize the event
to prepare the minds of the army in
Spain as we'll as in Cuba for the inev-
liable.
So he called to Captain General Blan-

Under MORO Castle, Harbor of San
tiago De Cuba, July Il 6 p. NJ via
Playa del Este, Province of Santiago
de Cuba. July l. delayed in trans
missiom.-At exactly . o'clock this
morning the Spanish flag was lowered
from the staff browning the heights
upon which battered Moro Castle
spreads half way. The lowering of this
emblem of the sovereignty of Spain in
this part of the world was witnessed
by few Spanish and Americans
troops on shore and by the Brooklyn,
New York, Vixen and Vesuvius, lying
within few hundred yards of the
harhor entrance.
Almost Immediately after the flag
was hauled down steam launches COM
manded by Lieuts. Hobson and Palmer
entered the harbor. penetrating as far
as the firing stations of the submarine
mines. These mines We're judged to
be not as formidable as expected and,
later in the afternoon they We're all
exploded under the supervision of the
Vixen.
1t was seen that two mines had been
exploded at the time of the entrance
of the Merrmac into the channel of
Santiago harbor, but it is not thought
probable that either of them had any
thing to do with the sinking of the
craft.
Six or seven steamers in the harbor
fall as prizes to the navy and army.
The Spanish gunboat Alvarez had al
ready been taken possession of by a
prize crew from the New York. The
other vessels lie at the other end of
the harbor, at Santiago proper.
Soon after noon, Commodore Schley
with Captain Cook Of the Brooklyn,
Lieut. Sears, the flag lieutenant;
Lieut.. Wells, the flag secretary, and
three invited correspondents of The
Associated Press, went into the har-
Dor on a steam launch which moved
slowly in order to make close observa-
ton of the Spanish forts and batteries.
Every one expressed satisfaction at
the fact that MORO Castle was not
