Gen. Skaters Headquarters. Near San
tiago, July 10, via Port Antonio, Jamaica,
Per the Associated Press Dispatch Boat
Dandy, July II, s a. M, via Kingston, July
II, 9:15 a. mat 1870 this morning. Gen.
shafter notified Gen. TOral, the Spanish
commander, that, by President McKinleys
direction, the Spanish proposition to sur
render of the garrison were allowed to
leave Santiago with its side arms, was re-
jected, and that the United States would
accept no terms but immediate and uncon-
ditional surrender.
Gen. Toral at 2:45 p. M, replied in a
brief note that he rejected President Nc
kinley's proposal and would discuss no
other terms than those suggested by him
self.
At S:15 D. m. Gen. Shafter notified Gen
Torai that the armistice would be terml-
mated and hostihties resumed at o'clock
At the same time he issued instructions
10 each of the division commanders to
prepare for a fresh attack on the Spanish
works. These orders have been promul-
gated from Aguadores to El Caney.
When the courier left with this dispatch
just before O'Clock, the artillery was pre-
pairing to open on the Spaniards at the
end of the armistice.
The dynamite guns had been trained on
the Spanish blockhouse with such abso-
Lutte precision that the first shot would
oblterate 1t.
The American soldiers win sleep in the
trenches tonight.
Eight batteries Of light artillery win be
in position at midnight tonight. and the
siege gun, just landed, will be ready for
action at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Gen. Shafter said TO a correspondent of
the Associated Press this afternoon: Gen.
Henry and his division are now landing at
Juragua, and are coming up as rapidly as
possible. Our lines cannot be made more
effective, but if the chance offers to in
crease our strength l will take adyant-
age of it,
Il shall not be surprised if we have
Santiago in three days"
AT FL Caney there are 10000 miserable
refugees from Santiago, old men. women
and children, whom the Spaniards have
permitted to go to our lines to get food
The plight of these helpless people Is
heartrendng. The Americans are doins

THE MASS OF SPANISH IGNORANCE.
Situation Much Worse Than the Sta
tistics of HIiterntes show.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
A writer in a prominent English review
takes for a text the ignorance prevailing
in Spain. The statistics of illterates, bad
as they are, fail to tell the whole story.
While 100000 of the 5000, 600 inhabitants
OF Spain cannot read or write. the educat-
ed ninth, in the opinion of this author, are
not, in the general sense, well informed
The advantage Of the lettcred, it is strn5-

press the pathetic decisions common 10

in the life OF the people is accepted and
even gloriied because Il is Spanish.
Ignorance may be called the national cult
or Spain, and. as another and more promi-
nent English writer has said, the country
Is proud of what ought to bring It shame.
The people Of the United States ind IL
hard to understand Spanish methods Of
thought. Deception Is habitually pracriced
py their public men. and is seemingly eN-
pccted and required by the masses. In
some cities the battle OF Manila was cele-
brated as a Spanish victory. 1t was the
most terrible defeat of recent years but
the fact does not square with the pride
Of Spaniards and so is ignored. In the
Philippines the rulers have been driven
from one fiction 90 another. The Captain
general viii turn over Manila to a subor-
dinate to be surrendered. in order to claim
that the sovereignty has not gone into
other hands. Any subterfuge passes with
the common people of Spain. They are
plundcrcd and befoolod through life by
their officials, but haughtily draw their
cioaks closer and assume that the gran
deur of Spain is so great that 1t can be i'm
paired by no defect, nor iessened in the
least by comparison with the progressive
nations of the world.
The case with which the Spaniard is de-
ceived by those in authority subjects him
10 all manner of bad treatment but he
enjoys it and hugs his chains. He is re-
quired to fight under cruel disadvantages.
If taken prisoner he is left to languish be-
cause his government Indignantly refuses
10 exchange. II can spite Americans by
holding prisoners, and so leaves its own
soldiers and sailors in confinement with
out the slightest concern for their well
fare. Spanish soldiers in Cuba are ex-
pected to continue the war indefinitely
without government supplies or a cent of
pay. Sometimes the thought occurs that
Spanish ignorance will eventually be
aroused and realize the system of corrup-
ton and lies to which it is subject, and
the degradation of lacking the first ele-
ments of modern knowledge. But the
trouble with Spain may be sort of pa
resis. the victim of which imagines that
he is great, and rich. and powerful, instead
of a poor. demented and hopelessly strick-
en- creature.

Islands to Have n Full Territorial

Washington, July 1.-THE American
members of the commission, appointed by
the President under the act annexing Ha-
wall to the United States, were in con-
ference at the capitol to-day
Senator Cullom was chosen chairman Of
the commission, and other officials deslg-
mated.
M W. Blumenberg, one of the official
reporters Of the Senate, was appointed re-
porter for the commission. 1t was de-
cided that the entire clerical force should
be composed of employees of the Senate in
order not to add unnecessarily to the sal
airy roll of The commission.
Ii was impossible to fix a definite time
of departure, but Aug. was agreed upon
as the approximate date for sailing from
San Francisco
1t is expected that about two months will
be spent in Hawaii and the commission
hopes 10 have its recommendations pre-
pared by the opening of the next session
OF Congress.
There was some discussion at to-days
meeting of plans for the work ahead but
this was necessarily informal So far as
opinion was expressed, it was favorable to
the adoption of the existing Hawaiian
statutes.
The commissioners favor a fun terrific
rial form of government, with a delegate
in Congress and a local legislature, but
they necessarily win postpone the consid-
Grafton of all matters of detail until they
reach Honolulu ana have an opportunity
to confer with Messrs Dole and Frear, the

From the Memphis Appeal.
II the developments of war bring into
the possession of the United States the
Spanish islands of the Ladrones, just 10
the eastward of the Philippines, the end
viii arrive for maritime fiction long held
in honor in all ports Of Asia and Austria
liza. Every year thousands of vessels
clear at custom houses for Guam, yet none
ever goes there-none in fact ever meant
to go there Guam has always seemed
such a legal fiction that few have ever
taken thought that there is such a place,
and fewer yet have Investigated the rea-
son why it is a maritime Tom Fiddler's
ground.
When a ship clears for a certain place
1t must go to that place by the shortest
route of sailing, gale and wreck excepted
and any failure calls for an explanation.
Yet there often arise cases where it is
of advantage not to declare the port of
destination; it may be thus a skipper may
avoid being bothered with a mail, or il
may be that business rivalry seeks TO con-
ceai some point of good trade In such
cases the vessels clears for Guam, and
sails away to its secret destination. Al
though there is a Guam upon the charts
the vessels which have cleared for it never
lay course in its direction, and the law
is none the less satisfied. How IL is posi-
bic that Guam can be such a port is based
on the old tradition of Spanish exclusive
ness in the Indies, both East and West
1t has only been as a result of superior
force that the Spaniards have opened the
Indies to trade, and this century was we'll
advanced before the last of the old re-
sTlctions was removed. BY some chance
the Ladrones were not included, aud in

lsh leave is forfeited. The penalty of the
law has not been exacted for many years.
bar the existence of the law has made
possible the legal fiction of clearing fer
Guam. AS soon as the American forces
take possession of this archipelago, the
laws Of the Indies win cease to have ef-
feet, ana Guam will lose its peculiar dis
tirction.

old. Though hostile to Madison, Canning
befriended the South American repub-
lies and Greece and antagonized the
Duke Of Wellington's prejudice against
Russia as the future rival of England in
eastern affairs. SO Mr.. Gladstone inher-
tied from his father and Canning senti-
mentality concerning oppressed peoples.
He was enough Of Liverpool man,
however, to share during the first part
Of our civil war the manifest prejudice
OF Liverpool against the American ship
ping trade and hastened to say that
Jefferson Davis had made nation"
Their political affiliations caused John
Gladstone to be made baronet by Sir
Robert Peel in his eighty-second year. He
was something of an author of books and
pamphlets on trade subjects. The word
Gladstone is believed to mean haick rock.
Having been somewhat trained by q
clergyman, who reported him dull at
figures, the future prime minister was
sent o-Eton school in 1921 and again
took private tutor and then went to
Oxford university. About 500 boys were
at Eton with Gladstone, and not much
attention was paid to their studies be-
yond Greek and Latin. Gladstone wrote
Latin verses with facility and contrib
uted to the Elton magazine, and he estab-
iished a serial while in the school, assist
ed by Hallen, who became the subject
of Tennyson's "In Memorism." Among
his early pieces often quoted Is this:
Still mid the cotton and the fax
\ Warm Jet the glow of freedom wax;
Still mid the shuttle and the steam
Bright let che flame Of freedom CLEAN.
In one of his papers on eloquence he
said that the orator could have anything,
be minister, state secretary or premier
bf the country. Much of Gladstone's
writing in this school magazine bears a
resemblance TO his speeches in old age.
He had the best teachers, one of them
subsequent bishop of Calcutta, but his
college life was more noted for his liter
airy and political discussions than for ac-
curate study. He embraced the views of
the high church Tories, who were around
him In college, and hated political reform.
II did not learn when at Oxford" he
says. ito set due value on the imper-
ishable and inestimable principles Of hui
man liberty. The temper in those aca-
demic circles was to regard liberty with
jealousy"

destined by their social opportunities to
be- eminent. such as the Duke Of Newcas

rev men are moro fortunate in their
names than was Gladstone. Whatever
its extraction, the name conveys the idea
of heartiness as well as strength.
Like the ruling intellects throughout
the British islands at thepresent day, and
we may say for a full century past, he
was Scotch, though he was born in Liv-
erpool near the commencement of Madi-
sons administration, the last day but one
In December, 1909. He was born in Rod

Lord Rodney whose feet fought the

Liverpool had but little importance
prior to our independence. Most Of the
vessels which sailed for America in colo
nial times came from Bristol OF London

the cotton trade and finally the general
American trade built up Liverpool.
