HAVANA, Sept S-The following is a

by General Linares on July II to Captain
Aunon, the Spanish Minister of War, urging
the surrender of Santiago de Cuba. AS 1t

ITO the general in chief, the Minister Of
War: Although Frustrated in bed by excess
sive weakness and sharp pains. l am pre-
occupied to such an extent by the terrible
condition of these long suffering troops that
l consider il my duty to address your ex-
cellency, the Minister of War, in order to
expose the true condition of affairs. The
enemy's position is very strong and his out
posts are very close to the limits of this
city. The natural formation of the sur
rounding country gives our besiegers real
advantages. Our lines extend fourteen
kilometers. Our troops are attenuated and
the proportion of sick considerable, but
they are not allowed to go to the hospital
owing TO the necessity of our keeping them
in the trenches. Our horses have no grain
or forage. Under a ver.table deluge We re-

with everything needful for their health.
comfort and welfare. Notwithstanding this,
it is to the chagrin Of the nation that
through political corruption or incompe-
tency of the Republican administration
our soldiers and sailors have not been suf-
ficiently provided for. Seemingly no re-
gard has been paid to the condition of their
health. Through the orders of the war de-
partment they have been kept at places
which became veritable pest holes until
they were so stricken with hunger and dis
ease that II they were called upon to rem
der the service for which they were en-
listed they would be found physically UNI
able 20 respond.
1.-THE people of the United States hold to
a rigid account these persons who may be

SPANISH PRESS COMMENT.
Consensus of Opinion That Conflict
Is Near.

Madrid, March 31.-El Liberal calls
upon the ministry to identify itself
with the unanimous feeling of the coun-
try, to place before everything the pri-
mary interests of the nation and pro-
coed with discretion and GOODNESS. but
al the same time. with undaunted firm
ness, for there is limit which Spain
cannot and will not oVerStep-that
limit is marked by the respect it owes
the world and its own sovereignty"
The impartial independently says:
Despite the hopes of the last few
days. it is now believed that a conflict
danger which, whatever may be
thought, President Mckinley cannot
change. The nerves of Spaniards are
being hardened to resist coolly the
consequences of this danger. We are
all Spaniards. our mission is to save
the national honor, and it rests with
the government to take energetic ac-
ton.
1T is urgent that we should prepare
warships and send them to Cuba. The
cruisers Cristobel Colon and Princess
deAsturias, and the Destructor, now
at CadiZ, should start as soon as pos
sible, and the first-class ironclads Pc
layO and Emperador Carlos V should
follow promptly.
The United States, which, during
the delicate and strained relations be-
tween the two countries, has sent ships
to our waters or Whereabouts, cannot
complain at our sending a squadron to
our own waters. 1t would be curious
in the face of the universal law of
right for the visitors to override the
master of the house. Such a visitor
would be simply a bandit. 1t would be
ignominious not to send our squadron
for fear that Yankee vessels would try
to prevent it,
The article concludes by counseling
the people to be calm and not to en-
barrass the government in its difficult
and ticklish task.
FL Pals (Republican) characterizes
the statement regarding the reconcen-
trados in Cuba as fable, and de-
clares that the United States could not
tests of Europe nor seize the Maine
disaster as preteXt for war without
scandaliZing the world, therefore, the
government had adopted humanitar-
ianism as a means to cloak its sinister
designs"
The semi official Globo says it is the
general opinion that we are approach
ing rapidly the end of the struggle
Forewarned against evil, we never
theless still hope for the best"
FL TEMPO Conservative expresses
confidence that the government will. in
any case, rise TO the loftiness of its
duty, the public accomplishing its duty
by awaiting calmly the results of the
conferences.

ITO the Editor of the Press-I have
received several kilograms from Port
land business men, whose opinions are
entitled to weight, favoring peace with
Spain and endorsing the policy of our
president. Their confidence in our
chief magistrate does not exceed mine.
l am well informed of his purpose, his
conduct and his hopes; l know that
diplomatic negotiations are about con-
Guided and their purports. have hoped
that the result may be what we all
desire-an honorable peace, but pro-
pose, so far as l can, to be prepared
for disappointment. The committee on
foreign relations of which l have the
the honor to be member. will do moth
ing rashly; will give to the resolutions
referred to them careful and deliberate
consideration; will be in constant COM
munication with the. president and
without doubt act in entire harmony
with him.

BRITISH ADVICE.
Spain Will Make a Sad Mistake In
Refusing Our Terms.

London. April 1.-The Times says editor
tally this morning:
1T is evident peace and war hang in the
balance ana that the world has not long
to wait for definite information it can
not be supposed that Americas terms
have yet been published in their complete
ness. but they may BE- guessed to include
complete freedom for Cuba.
The Spanish government will make
fatal mistake if it fails TO understand
the terms now offered which are the
best it is ever likely to obtain. and if
they are not promptly accepted. ii is to
be feared that the next presentation Of
American demands will be in d harsher
shape With every sympathy for Spain,
her government and dynasty. il must be
said that the government of Cuba has
been a scandal which would have been
resented even by other nations if they
had been in as close proximity as the
United States.
1T bchooves Spain to consider whether
Cuba is worth fighting for in such an
unequal conflict that it is even doubtful
IL Spain would gain temporary success,
while her ultimate defeat would be GER
tain. moderate naval force could re-
duce the island by starvation and
privateering could not in practice be car
ried to any extent worth mentioning by
Spain without calling for the Intervention
of neutral nations"

supplied our wants. Afterward-in his
presence tried it on, and TO my sur
prise the same man was before me

to fill the chatties on the veranda with
