Madrid, Aug. 2-The defense of Gen.
Toral, now on trial by courtmartial, ac-
cused of surrenderng Santiago de Cuba
to the Americans without having exhaust
ed all means of defense is that Santiago
was not a fortified town within the mean
ing of the regula tions, which fact modified
the circumstances from the point of view
of military justice,
Gen. Toral contends that he was not
liable for the responsibility lad down in
article 295 of the code, since he was not
a governor and had not the chief power,
but was subject to the orders of the gem
eral-in-chef He lacked independence and
was accordingly not responsible.
Gen Toral points out that the minister
of war, who on different occasions had
given orders to Toral, had on the eve Of
capitulation. given him full liberty to ca
pitulate, and that Gov Gen. Bianco in
complaining to the government, kept
silence regarding what he had previously
said in opposition to capitula tiOn.
The defense argued that Gen. Toral had
not exceeded his powers and reod a minute

the fact that the tea plant lived through

tumb,ed into the water. Fortunately no
one was injured.
Never before had the Columbia shown
such superiority over the Defender as she
did in the fragment Of the race started
to-day. Within few minutes after the
start she was well ahead and after that
seemingly did not try to Increase her lead.
The boats in a fine southwest breeze were
having grand beat to the windward
when tie accident occurred.
Al the time of the accident the Defender
was two minutes and forty seconds astern,
while a fleet of tugs and steam yachts
was not far away. Every vessel was
rushed to the assistance of the disabled
boat, but II was found that the crew were
able to take care of themselves, aud they
reported no one injured. 1t took nearly
an hour TO Gear away the wreckage and
get It on board Then, in tow OF a press
