is with great pleasure that extend to you my sincere congratulations on your heroic conduct at Santiago In approv. ing your request for assignment to the squadron expected thai you would prove q valuable acquisition through your professional attachments. All ex. peetations have been surpassed and I again congratulate you on the perform and the brilliant future before you.
 Commodore Hichborne, while averse to being placed in the position of exert ing any influence in the matter, is ex- ceedingly anxious that Hobson shall not be trans serred to the liHe of the navy, but shall retain his position ia the con struetion corps, where his remarkable ability may be utilized to the best inter- ests of the service.
 The young constructor before he join. ed Admiral Sampson's fleet had already demonstrated his conspicuous capacity i'll ship design, and while the navy is rich i'll brave officers with the increase i'll the number of ships and the strength of the navy, 1t is believed that Gonstrue- tor Hobson has greater career before him as q constructor than as q com. mander. His opportunities for impress ing his individuality upon the navy are thought to be much greater in the staff than in the line, and as he has up to this time given no intimation that he desires transfer, it is not believed that he will consent to abandoning his profession.

MADRID HAS RECEIVED
 NO WORD FROM TORAL
nlanco Is King Concerning the Sur render of Santiago, and That Is as
 Far as the Messages Got.

Madrid, July 15.-The cabinet meet ing yesterday discussed the question of strengthening the resources of Spain and finding means and necessities of the moment. It is said the government has not received any communication from General Toral, tAe commander of San tiago, with reference to the equalization of that place Such communication would go to Blaneo, who is competent to decide.
 An official dispatch from Havana says the steamer San Domingo arrived at Naro Punta from Mex.co with provis- ions; and letters also saying that Pinar del Rio has been bombarded and set on fire by an American man-of-war.
 A dispatch from Augusti at Manil,. says the insurgents are divided into two parties-one advocating independence, the other autonomy He adds the ma- jority of the inhabitants of the Philip pines are opposed to American occupa- tion of the islands and expresses the be- lief the concession of reforms and the confidence of the natives will still be gained.
 A dispatch from Washington anaoCces that Captain Sawyer reported to the war department vessel named San Domin- go as wrecked off the Isle of Pines, while irving to run the blockade.

 Then the rumor was spread about the city that Santiago had surrendered. This caused crowds i'll the streets to go wild No one knew where the rumor origi- mated, but everyone knew it was fact.
 Crowds gathered all over the city eager to get the particulars of the sur render, but they were not to had.
 This statement was made and handed out by one man who had seen the presi- dent
 Arrangements are being made to have commissioners arrange the sur render of Santiago. There was much misunderstanding as to the effects of the Spanish proposition, the administra- tion first believing it was Spanish trick to work for delay, it is now con strued as looking to the immediate sur. render. Shafter has been wired authori. ty to appoint the commissioners only for immediate and unconditional surrender, and has been informed that if for any other purpose the commissioners are moi to be appointed Our authorities al Washington will attend to details of transporting Spanish to Spain.

THE NEW ELECTRIC LINE WILL BE IN OPERATION BEFORE THE COUNTY FAIR
 OPENS.
So Says Prominent Citizen Who is in Correspondence With Messrs. Coying- ton x Harrison,
 the Promo
 tePs.

< GRAPHIC reporter was making his usual rounds yesterday afternoon when he was attracted by two very prominent citizens, who seemed to be very much interested in a conver sation. The reporter, as is the tac- ties of a man in his profession, poked his face near the parties and listened.
 One of the gentlemen drew from his pocket an envelope from which ke drew a letter and read as follows:
 We have secured the money and are buying the material as fast as possible. We are shipping some to your city during the present writing, The new electric line is a sure thing and will surely be in operation be fore your county fair opens. .
 As he was folding the letter, he said. 1t cannot fall through;it has the right footing now and you can tell your friends the buzz Of the ears will soon be heard on Pine Bluffs streets" The letter was written from Peru, Ind.
 We believe the citizen is right " hen he says ''it cannot fall through Il the people of this city will give the promoters the proper consideration due them, we think Pine Bluff will soon possess an electric line.

Toral Said He Would Give Up the City If His Men We're
 Sent Back to Spain.
GENERAL SKATER
 GIVEN HIS ORDERS,
1t Was to the Effect That Uneondi tlonal and Immgaiate Surrender Would Only Be Entertained
 From the Spaniards.

Washington. July 1o.-The national capitol was all excitement yesterday over the rapid exchange of dispatch es between the war department and shafter Great orssyds gathered around the bulletin boards Of the war depart ment, and there they remained all the forenoon.
 The first message from General shaf- ter was to the effect that General Toral had appointed commission to meet 3 like commission of Americans to con- sider the conditions upon which the Span ish would give up the city.
 Secretary Alger and Adjutant General Corbin held consultation and advised the president of the situation. The Spanish proposition was declined and General Shafter was notified not to en- certain the proposition, and that noth- ing short of unconditional and immedi. ate surrender would be considered, and unless this was adhered to, to begin the siege upon the city.
 Then came another message from General Shafter saying General Toral agrees to surrender upon basis of being sent back to Spain. This proposition embraced all of eastern Cuba from Acer- adoros on south of Santiago to Sagua on

the appearance or lever at this stags would surprise the medical officers of the department. They made every preparation that science can suggest to protect the Amelic troops in the fe. fever country, but t is realized that men working in trenches half full of mud and water for 24 hours at a time in tropical rains, reeklessly regardless of the advice of the medical corps ill the matter of drinking unboiled water and eating large quantities of tropical fruit, were certainly in some danger of con- tracing disease if the same should be existent in their neighborheoi.
 That the disease does exist in santia- go, though never officially admitted, was known through private letters from officers al the front 10 their friends and the exodus from tle city to the vicinity of shafters camp of 5000 inhabitants. presumably for the most part ill desti- tute and filthy condition, wonld afford ample chance for rhe communication of the disease 10 our ,fooaS, were not the strict measures adopted 70 prevent inter- course.
 It is not doubted Lat General Shaf- ter has done all flat is possible to pre-. vent close communication between the troops and refugees for sanitary reasons. But in his effort to assist the poor peo- pie to the extent of his power he has been obliged to make use of the quarter masters department to deliver supplies to them and from the exposure thus re- sulting the l [ cases reported found their origion as the latest dispatches say that nine of the eases were among the quar- termaster's employees and five among ref ugees. The cases are regarded IS mild cases of yellow fever.
 The promptness with which the sick men have been isolated and the thor- ough precautions adopted to secure for them the best food and medicine, com bined with the improved methods of treatment of the fever that have been developed by the United Srates marine hospital service ana the presence in the camp of General Ctuitteras of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, one of the most famous yellow fever experts in the world, are additional sources of reason i'll the confidence i'll the proper management of the situation.
 According to the best ineormation ob- tainable by the navy department there has Laen no sign of contagious disease among any of the vessels of Sampson's fleet nor among the marines at Guana. tanamo. The first of the American troops to land in Cuba.
 General Niles went to the front yes terday and probably will remain there. He went ashore early yesterday morn ing and telephoned to General Shafter The latter advised him not to start out until later. as the roads were ina fright ful condition from the rains and badly blocked by supply trains. The general waited until noon anu then set out, ae- companied by troop X of the Second cavalry, the only mounted troop of General Shafter's army.
 IT was raining heavily when the start was made. Tine general was attired in long black mackintosh and wore rub Der riding boots and black sloueh hat ornamented with marrow strand of gold cord. Owing to the deep mud it was almost eark when he reached the front.
