DON'T FORCE RESISTANCE.
SaEasta Gives Orders Regarding
Porto Rico.

New York. Aug. "A special cable
TO the Herald from Madrid says: me
government has given orders that the
minister of war should not force re-
sistance in Porto Rico to the utmost
This is at the instigation OF Premier
Sagasta, who deplores any unneces-
sary loss of life. knowing that forto
Rico will inevitably fall into the hands
of the Americans. Capt Gen. Macais
has been instructed 10 obtain terms
like those obtained by Gen. Toral, or
better, so as TO savev Spanish honor
as much as possible. One of the
greatest preOccupations of the govern
ment is regarding the return OF the
garrisOns i'm Cuba and Porto Rlco.
The calculations made so far show
that il would have TO contract with
the Compania Transatlantica for 2OO,-
600 passages CT different categOries,
which would cost about 5O,OOO,OO
pesetas. The gravev problem is that
here we have 100000 men returning

thing but a pleasant mood. With not
less than 1000 officers, they are con-
, sidered TO form a serious danger 10

ally, a well known military authority
SAID il would be much cheaper for the
United States 10 pay the army in Cupa

than to send American soldiers there.

Washington, Aug. when the pres
ident closed his official week yesterday
he had not received the reply Of Spain
nor any intimation as to how soon the
reply might be expected. The French
ambas sador had not been heard from
throughout the day, and he, as well as
our own government officials, was
waiting for Spain to give the final re-
Spouse. Two days have now passed
without word officially from Spain,
either in the way of inquiry or re-
Spouse. From this il is clear that the
Spanish cabinet fully realizes the time
for argument, counter proposals and
notifications has gone by and that
there is only one simple issue to meet,
namely, whether the American terms
will be accepted as a whole or reject
ed. There is, indeed, reason TO believe
that the Spanish government has been
directly notified that the stage Of ne
gotiations has passed, and that only
the matter Of an answer. favorable or
unfavorable. remains. That the an
swer has not come quickly is no mat
ter Of surprise to the officials here, for
they realize the tremendous respOnsi-
bility which Premier Sagasta must as
sumo in making these peace terms
sufficiently palatable TO the Spanish
populace and the political leaders TO
Iermit its acceptance without An ill.,
ternal CONFUSION. In his conferences
with the president and Secretary Day
the French ambassador has brought
out clearly the great task before Sa-
gasta. 1t seems TO be the general view
here that IL the premier and his min
istry were untra mmeled n.acceptanee
Would Come at Once
and that the preliminary peace ar
rangements would be now closed. But
in preparing the Spanish public and in
guarding against political agitations
hereafter by public men Of other
parties the Madrid government is TAX
ing time for missionary work not only
among themSelvevs but also among the
populace and different sects. Well in
formed people here place Monday as
the time when the United States is TO
receive SPANS final answer, but this
is purely cOnjectural. for there is not
the slightest means Of knowing the
trend OF affairs at Madrid. II might
come to-day, but in the event Of it's
Ginning late in the day the response
would not be communicated TO the
government until Monday. There is
the same confident feeling among
officials here, as from the first, that
the Spanish answer will be a reluctant
acceptance Of the terms offered At
the same time there Is remote pos
sibility that the disclosures made by
the American government at Santiago
concerning the serious condition Of our
troops might be a straw at which the
Spanish cabinet would grasp. This is
quite doubtful however, as there is a
question whether the statement OF the
American general evevr got outside
the borders of the United States ow-
ing to the strict censorship imposed.
Moreover all evidence reaching the Of
ficials here indicates that Spain is
weary with the conflict and is cor
WINGED beyond the slightest question
of the hopelessness of further oppo-
SitI0l.

twenty-five Cubans We're put ashore.

FOOD PRICES.

Santiago, Aug. Z. - Gen. Wood will
fix the price at retail Of provisions In
the market Complaints In every
quarter of enormous charges for stuffs
by retailers forced him to take the
matter in hand, though he had hoped
the large cargoes recently landed and
the reduction in duties would soon
bring values down TO normal figures.
Dealers still, however, force up the
prices, causing additional misery and
much complaint. Beef is retailed at
81 cents a pound, 400 per cent over the
true value, and prices of other goods
are in proportion. Gen. Wood will
hold conference with the merchants
and fix prices, with a fair margin Of
profit, and prOmulgate an order.

SPANISH RESOURCES GONE.
Supplies in Cuba and Puerto Rico Scant-
Financial Statement to Be Made Show
ing Poverty of the Country,

New York, July l4.-A dispatch tC
I the World from Madrid says: If the
war party in Spain persists, despite the
advice of the pope and powers, the
government will make known soon how
scant are the provisions and ammuni-
tion among the Spanish forces in Cuba
and Puerto Rico, on the confession OF
the governors themselves. Moreover,
it will publish financial statement
showing that all of Spain's sources of
supply have been drained, that all
advances made by the bank of Spain are
exhausted. and that the only recourse
now is to stop the payment of in
terest on the debt and sinking funds,
and issue bonds at 6 and : per cent in
terest, with the double guarantee of
Spanish treasury and the bank of Spain.
In court and official quarters it is
believed that if such extreme argu-
mentS are resorted to the army will at
least see that the game is up and will
assent to peace. But General Blanco
cannot undertake to secure the SUBJ
mission of the Spanish volunteers and
irregularS D Cuba nor disarm them.
They intimated to him. when consulted,
that il the Spanish government made
peace they would fight on in guerrilla
fashion,

MET GENERAL TORAL
Personal Interview Held With Span
ish Commander by American Gen.
erals to Consider Surrender.
TERMS OFFERED BY SHAFTER
Spanish Laws Give General No Discretion
Court Martial and Death Fol-
lows Disobedience of Instruc-
tions from Madrid

General Wheeler's headquarters be
fore Santiago, July IA, 4 p. m, via
kingston.-White flags still futter ovel
the opposing lines. The truce has been
extended until tomorrow noon, and
negotiations looking to the surrender OF
Santiago are proceeding. Both sides
have yielded somewhat. General To
raj, Spanish commander, realizes the
hopeleasness of further resistance, and
the American commander. General
Shafter, is inclined to reduce the harsh
ness of the terms which he at first
proposed to impose upon the enemy.
1t appears that on Monday General
Shafter did not again demand the un-
conditional surrender which General
TOral refused on Sunday. but offered an
alternative proposition to accept the
capitulation of the enemy and transport
the Spanish officers and troops to Spain,
they to leave all arms behind and he to
accept their parole. 1t was this propo-
sition which General Toral declined yes
terday. This morning it was decided to
hold personal interview with General
Toral General Miles and his staff, who
got no farther than General Skaters
headquarters last night, accompanied
by Gen. Shafter and staff, rode out to the
front shortly before o'clock, under a
flag of truce. A request for personal
interview with the Spanish commander
in-cbief was acceded to, and about 8
O'Clock General Miles, General Shafter,
General Wheeler, General Gilmore,
Colonel Course, Captain Wiley and Cap
tain Maus rode up, passed over our en-
trenchments and went down into the
valley beyond. They were met by Gen
cral Toral and his chief of staff under
spreading mango tree, at the bottom of
the valley, about half way between the
lines. The interview that followed
lasted an hour.
The situation was placed frankly be-
fore General Toral, and he was offered
the alternative of being sent home with
the garrison or leaving Santiago prov
ince, the only condition imposed being
that he should not destroy the existing
fortifications and should leave his arms
behind. The latter condition, the Span
ish general who does not speak English,
explained through his interpreter was

That was all. Further than that he was

Off Santiago, July l3, via Kingston
The bombardment of the city of Santi-
ago by Admiral Simpsons fleet, which
1t had intended to begin this morning,
was again postponed on account Of a
message from General Shafter announc-
ing another truce. The Massachusetts
and Oregon had come up from Guam
tanamo bay for the purpose of par
ticipating. They will now remain here
until required. The postponement Of
the naval assault will delay the sailing
of Commodore Watson's squadron for
the coast of Spain temporarily. Ad-
miral Sampson has formally notified
General Shafter that he must not sign
any acceptance of surrender without
first consulting him. Admiral Sampson
Is anxious that the surrender shall in
cude the thorough removal of all mines
in the harbor and the evacuation of all
the ports which have fired on his ships.
The ships are lying off Aguadores wait
