CerVera and Santiago.
Playa del Este Guantanamo Bay, July
16. 6 p. ma steam launch from the
Spanish gunboat sandoval came down the
bay this afternoon flying the French flag
The French consul at Guantanamo was
on board, as was also the Spanish bishop
of the Catholic Church at Guantanamo.
They held a conference with Commander
McCalla relative to the removal Of indi-
gent French subjects from Guantanamo to
the French cruiser now in the harbor
Their request was refused until the num-
Der of persons to be removed was def
nitely known.
The French consul said that there had
been absolutely no communication at
Guantanamo with the outside world since
June 7. He was greatly surprised to hear
of the destruction of Admiral Cervera's s
fleet and the surrender of Santiago.
The latter news and the terms of the
surrender, involving the Guantanamo
forces. win be communicated to the Span
iards at once.
A launch from the cruiser Marblehead,
while scouting along the west shore of
the bay this afternoon, near the mouth of
Guantanamo river, was fired upon by a
squad Of Spanish pickets guarding the
road in that vicinity. The launch replied
with her 1-pounder and a lively fight re-
suited.
The Marblehead threw two shells from a
6-pounder into the woods and the fire of
the Spaniards suddenly ceased. The
launch was not hit.

San Francisco July 1.-THE Evening
Post says: From private information
received in this city by sympathlzers with
the Cuban cause, there is reason to believe
that Commodore Watson may include in
his mission to the Spanish coast visit,
first or afterward. to the Island of Fer
nando Po, off the African coast, TO re-
lease from Imprisonment many people
banished to that island for political rea-
sons by Spain. Most OF the prisoners
are Cuban sympathizers
'That some consideration has been given
to this proposition by the government, or
that the latter intends to add some other
and immediate plan for securing the re-
lease Of the Cuban prisoners OF war, Is
evidenced by a dispatch received here
reading as follows: Hopes for the re-
lease shortly OF Herrera and others have
suddenly grown brighter. Mckinley gives
us great assurances of prompt action
now"

Madrid story About French Ambas-
sadOr UnfOundered.

Washington, July 16.-In view that the
reports of the French ambassador at
Washington, NJ. Cambon, had opened
peace negotiations or inquiries relative to
possible terms of peace, it can be stated
authoritatively, after inquiry at the
French embassy, that no negotiations or
inquiries Of any character relating to
peace have been made as yet official or
unofficial direct or indirect, by the French
ambassador. The reports grow out of M.
Cambons cali at the White House on July
II. The purpose of the cali and the en-
tire conversation which passed between
the President and the ambassador Is fully
known, and it can be stated positively that
it contained no reference to the present
conflict between Spain and the United
States, or to the prospects of it's being
brought to a close

London, July 1.-THE Madrid cores
pondent of the Sunday Times says: "Des-
pite official denlals and preparations for
a continuance of fighting have the best
authority for saying that peace is as
sured. 1t is beyond doubt that the main
points have been agreed upon with the
Washington authorities.
1T is understood that Spain viii evac-
uate Cuba, the Americans undertaking
TO transport the troops to Spain.
"Spain, through the Mexican minister,
has represented to America that she is
firmly decided on peace, at the same time
explaining the difficulties arising from
the opposition of the Cuban volunteers and
Spain's total exhaustion through her enor-
nous losses.
The political situation Is most criti-
cal, owing to agitation in the principal
towns"

Throughout Spain.
Madrid, July 16, p. m.-Senor Sagasta
declares that he is wholly without inform
alton from Santiago, owing to the inter-

Spain and Cuba.
The movements of the Carlists are caus-

in the Banque provinces and in Navarro,

NO YELLOW FEVER IN COUNTRY.
Surgeon General Wymnn Clears
Every Town From Suspicion.

EVeFy IOWh FOhh suSpICIOns
Washington, July 16.-Dr. Wyman, chief
of the marine hospital service, IN answer
to inquiries to-day, said that so far as
he knows. there was not a case of yellow
fever in Tampa or elsewhere in the coun-
try.
There had been reports to the effect that
the Island of Tortugas would be fitted up
for the reception of fever cases. The
fact is, he said, the marine hospital al
ready has plant there for that purpose,
and as the war department would soon
remove the small body of troops now sta
toned there, the buildings would be re-
stored to him for use as a hospital In
any emergency that may arise. So far,
however, there had been no recent use
for them, and there was none in prospect
50 far as he was aware.
