maica (9:15 a. mat 11:30 this morning
General Shafter notified General ToraI,
the Spanish general, that by President
McKinley's direction, the Spanish propp-
sition TO surrender if the garrison were
allowed to leave Santiago with its side
arms, was rejected and that the United
States would accept no terms bu. imme-
date and unconditional surrender.
General Toral, at 2:45 p. m, replied in a
brief note that he rejected President Nc
KinIeys proposal and would consent 70
no other terms than those offered by him
self.
At 3:15 p. m. General Shafter notified
General Toral that the armistce would be
terminated and hostilities resumed at
O'Clock. At the same time he issued in
structions to each of the division COM
manders to prepare for a fresh attack on
the Spanish works. These orders have
been promulgated from Aguadores to FL
Caney.
When the courier left with this dispatch,
just before O'Clock, the artillery was
preparing to open on the Spaniards at the
end of the armistice. The dynamite gun
had been trained on the Spanish block
house with such absolute precision that
the first shot would obiterate it.
The American soldier will sleep in the
trenches tonight.
Eight batteries Of light artillery will he
in position at midnight tonight and the
siege guns just landed Will be ready for
action at 10 o'clock tomorrow (Monday)
morning.
General Shafter said to a correspond
ent of the Associated Press this morning:
General Henry and his division are
now landing at JuragUa. and are coming
up as rapidly as possible. Our lines can
not be made more effective, but if the
chance offers to increase our strength,
will tae advantage Of it. l shall not be
surprised if we have Santiago in three
days"
At FL Caney there are 10000 miserable
refugees from Santago-old men, women
and children-whOm the Spanish have per
mitted to our lines to get food. The
plight Of these helpless people is heart
rending. The Americans are doing all
they can for them.

for horses and mules, trying to keep their

hospital and attending to rations and
baggage. The engineers were building a

WHY CERVERA WENT In

New York, July la special 70 the
World from Portsmouth. N. H. says: Ad-
miral Cervera's explanation TO a naval
officer as to why he took the fleet into
Santiago was that he expected to pro-
vision and coal and get away inside Of
"a hours, but this was found to be i'm
possible, owing to the tropical methods
employed in handling coal. There Cap
tain General Blanco was communicated
with and the presence of the two fleets
in Yucetan channel and the windward
passage was announced.
