Toral Said He Would Give Up the City If His Men Were
 Sent Back to Spain.
GENERAL SKATER
 GIVEN HIS ORDERS.
It Was to the Effect That Uncondi tiOnal and Hmm 9liate Surrender Would Only Be Entertained
 From the Spaniards.

Washington, July 15.-The national capitol was all excitement yesterday over the rapid exchange of dispatch. es between the war department and Shafter Great crowds gathered around the bulletin boards of the war depart ment, and there they remained all the forenoon.
 The first message from General Shaf- ter was to the effect that General Toral had appointed commission to meet . like commission of Americans to con. sider the conditions upon which the Span ish would give up the city.
 Secretary Alger and Adjutant General Corbin held consultation and advised the president of the situation. The Spanish proposition was declined and General Shafter was notified not to en- certain the proposition, and that noth- ing short Of unconditional and immedi- ate surrender would be considered, and unless this was adhered to, to begin the siege upon the city.
 Then came another message from General Shafter saying General Toral agrees to surrender upon basis of being sent back to Spain. This proposition embraced all of eastern.Cuba from Acer- adoros on south of Santiago to Sagua on

 That the disease does exist in santia. go, though never officially admitted was known through private letters from officers al the front to their friends and the exodus from tie city to the vicinity of Shafter3s camp of IS, 1000 inhabitants presumably for the most part in desti. tute and filthy condition, would afford ample chance eor the communication of the disease 10 our HOODS, were not the s'fIe5 measures adopted to prevent intpr. course. '''
 It Is not doubted tlat General Shaf- ter has done all flat is possible to ore. vent close communication between the troops and refuGPes for sanitary reasons. But in his effort to assist the poor neo- pie to the extent of his power he has been obliged to make use of the quarter masters department to deliver supplies to them and from the exposure thus re. sulting the IL cases reported found their onglon as the latest dispatches say that nlne of the cases were among the quar. termaster' employees and five among ref. ugees. The cases are regarded as mild cases of yellow fever.
 The promptness with which the sick men have been isolated and the thor. ough precautions adopted to secure for them the best food and medicine, com bined with the improved methods of treatment of the fever that have been developed by the United States marine hospital service and the presence in the camp of General Geuitteras of the Uni. yersity of Pennsylvania, one of the most famous yellow fever experts in the world, are additional sources of reason in the confidence in the proper management of the situation

l4 Government Does Not Propose to Have the Army Deeimated by
 That Disease In Cuba.
ACTIVITY MAY CEASE
 UNTIL IN THE FALL.
The Final Struggle to Defeat the Span ish Will Begin at Noon Today. General Miles With Shaiter
 at the Front.

Washington, July 14-Among the bed informed administration officers the opinion is universal that the crisis of the Santiago campaign Is at hand. It is deemed certain that today will wit ness either q desperate fight or an un- conditional surrender on the part of the Spanish forces, with the chances of both so evenly divided that there is scarcely toss up between them.
 The war officials are hoping for a sur render of the city and they generally believe that General ToraI, the Spanish commander, will yield at the last mo- moment rather than subject his men to what inevitably will be losing fight. He is evidently hesitating as to what course he will pursue.
 Up to 30 o'clock this morning not a word of information that would throw 5 any light npon the situation at Santiago i had been received by the war depart meQs Both Secretary Alger and Adju- tant General Corbin expressed the opin- ion that nothing tangible would be re- eeyed before this afternoon.
 a General Shafter's command is in fine spirits Strong endorsements have arriyed and are at the front. General sAafter has now under him an available lighting fore of 2f, ,873 men.
 t is believed that unless there is a material improvement in the climatic onditions that the fall of Santiago and the surrender of the Spanish army will close the campaign against Cuba until he rainy season shall have passed. Whether this will involve the return of ine army to the United States is not now znoyq, but the presumption is that viii the fall of Santiago the army will 8 5e reembarked on transports and sent to 'le United States where the troops will Aamain until October or even later before saaking general movement on Porto aeo and Havana In the meantime 1r fleets will maintain a strong block ae of all the important Cuban ports and thus render their occupation much asier than now.
 It Is not thought that this plan has zen fully decided upon and later events nay make it inadyisable to carry it out, at s]s known to have been under con iderston.
