fear of any serious results.

I take great pleasure in‘ telling the
world that. P. P. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed

SPANISH MAY SURRENDER

Disagreement Alnong Spanianh at Santi-
ago on the Question of Surrender—Li-
nares Unwillinj; m Yield ——Sonii1nent
Expressed by Spanish Pri~oners~News
from the \‘v’recked Ships—Many Chur-

red Bodies Found,

W'ashington,‘ July 8.—A war confer—
ence took place at the White House
yesterday. Secretari-es'Long and Al-
ger, General Miles, Rear Admiral Sic--
ard, Captain Crowninshield and Cap—
tain Malian \ve-ré present. The confer-
ence lasted about an hour and a half,
when all the members left the presi-
dent except Secretary Long.

It was decided not to storm Santiago
immediately, the helieef being that the
city’s downfall can bu accomplished
soon' without the heavy loss of men or
ships that would result from storming
it.

 

In front of Santiago, July 6, via Port
Antonio, Jamaica, July 8.—-The camp
fires blazed merrily under the flag of
truce again last night. The lines of
our forces and the Spaniards at San
Juan are 200 yards apart.

There is said to be a great dispute-
between military men in Santiago ox er
the question of surrender. General Lin—
ares opposes it. - ,

Three thousand foreign residents of
the city passed through our lines ycs-
terday.

General Pando did not reach Santia-
go.

The Spanish naval prisoners captur-
ed after the battle of Santiago are thor-
oughly tired of the war. The second in
command of the Oquenido said:

“Peace. is near at hand. This will cud
the war. We are all glad. -The cause
we are fighting for is not worth so
much. Let Cuba go and give us
peace."

Upon 'the Spanish cruise-rs Oquendo
and Maria Teresa, which are lying near
each other on the beach west of San—
tiago. m.,-st of the guns are uninjured
and of beautiful workmanship, even the.
1 1—2 inch Hem-firms forward and aft.

The turrets of the Teresa are all
right; so are eight of one 5 1—2-inch
quick fliers. ’l‘tlt sever-:11 of the Ollc'
pounders have been damaged by the
fire.

To-day the sent a boat to
the Teresa to Ecose property and
recovered a Maxim gun from her fight-
ing top and a pair cf shoes.

Many charred bodies were. found. The
twelve—inch armor belt was not pierced,
but shells had entered the ports.

One mast was shot away on the
Oquendo and both masts on the Teresa.
Their sterns‘are .1oat, but probably
their hulls are iizeparably damaged.
In the turrets were found bottles half
full of brandy.

Sinking of the A phn so XYI.

Madrid, July 8.-—T‘ne Spanish version
of the sinking of the warship Alfonso
XII is that she was chased by three
American warships while attempting to
enter the port of Mariel. and that. her
commander purposely ran her ashore
in order to avoid capture.

The odicial report adds that .the
Americans tired six hundred shells at
the Ali‘e'nso XII and mac the ship is
a complete loss. It is further said that

‘the crew of the cruiser and “part of her

cargo” were saved.

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba.
says 140 of the sailors w‘lw belonged to
Admiral Cervera’s squadron have ar-

El 2 reports that no attack had been
made upon the town up to the time of
her leaving there. Four Ger-maxi, three
British, two French and one Japanese
wars-hips Were then at Manila.

 

out Shelter.

Port Antonio, Jamaica, July‘s—The
general hospital a: General Shafterr’s
headquarters is in a miserable condi-
tion.

The sufferings of hundreds of our
wounded would cause a thrill of indig-
nation to run through the ration could
the people witness them.

There are only a few -ents at the
general hospital. The ma large ones
are filled with wounded Cubans. Most
of these are men who were hurt while
aimlessly straggling during Friday and
Saturday’s fighting.

Our men are crowded into the smal-
ler tents.

Many lie unsheltered from the .sun
and the daily showers.

As rapidly as transportation can be
secured the wounded are being carried
to Siboney, but the facilities for trans-
portation are insufficient and many he
without any shelter for hours and even
days.

These conditions may be expected in
temporary field hospitals. but are in-
tolerable in a general hormtsl. which
is three miles to the rear of our tren—
chcs.

Across the. road from the general hos-
pital General Shaftcr’s staff have one
tent to each man, Where they may be
seen lying in cots at any time.

The commissary department needs
shaking up.

Some regiments have not received ra-
tions for several days.

One regiment will have plenty anal
the next in line will be hungry.

 

Getting the \Var Bonds. if“;

New York, July S.—VVord comes from
VVas‘hington that up to the close of
business V‘Vednesday there had been
$825,593,000 subscribed to the new 3 per

in subscriptions of $500 or less, $324,-
593,000 in amounts of over $500, and
$500,000,000 in syndicate subscriptions.
Bankers are able to make predictions
regarding the amount to be awarded
on July 15, after the subscriptlions for
$500 or less have been awarded.

It is said that $70,000,000, or at most,
$71000, may be so subscribed, leaving
$125,u00,000 to ,be divided among the
subscriicrs for small amounts in ex-
cess of $500. It is said that subscribers
for amounts not in excess of $2,000 are
almost certain to get the bonds.

Brooklyn Struck Forty five Times.

Guantanamo, July 4, by way of Port
Antonio. Jamaica, July 8.—VV‘hen the
Spanish fleet left Santiago it was with
the intention of making Cienfuegos,
the nearest port, to get coal and pro~
visions. All the ships were short of
coal, the Cristobal Colon having only
two days’ supply, which she had ob-
tained at Santiago.

The Spaniards concentrated their
fire on the Brooklyn, hoping to disable
that vessel, as they considered her the
fastest of the American warships, and
thus give an, opportunity for at least
one or two of the Spanish vessels to
es::ipc. The Brooklyn was hit forty-
flve times. ‘

 

“'ill Bring Them Home.

‘ZVashington, July 8,—In the Senate
yesterday a bill making appropriations
to pay session employes of the House
of Representatives and for other pur-
poses, was passed, with the following
amendment:

“To enable the secretary of war, in
his discretion, to cause to be transport-
ed to their homes the remains of offi—
cers and soldiers who die at military
camps or who are killed in action, or
who die in the field at places outside
of the limits of the United States, $2.00,-

TAKEN ON THE FLAGSHIP

Fourteen Spaniards Given for Seven

Americans—Enemy Allowed te Choose
0nd of Three Lieuts. for Hubson—ltIeet-
in: Between Col. Astor and Major Ir-

les——An Interesting Episode.

Off Juragua, July 8,—Further partic-
ulars are at hand in regard to the ex-
change of Assistant Naval Con-
structor Richmond P. Hobson
of the flagship New York, and the sev-
en seamen who composed the crew of
the collit—r Merrimac, which was
sunk by Hobson and his companions in
the channel of the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba on June 3 last. They were
surrendered by the Spanish military
authorities yesterday in exchange for
prisoners captured by the American
forces. _

Ho'bson and his men were escorted
through the American lines by Captain
Chadwick of the New York, who was
awaiting them. Every step of their
journey was marked by the wildest de—
monstrations en the part of the Ameri-
can soldiers, who threw aside all sem-
blance of order. scrambled out of the
in'trenchments, knocked over tent guys,
and other camp paraphernalia in ltheior
eagerness to see the returning heroes,
and set up cheer after cheer for the
men who had passed safely through

try. ,

The same scenes or enthusiasm were
repeated upon the arrzval of the men
at the hospital station, and at our base
at Juragua. Hobson, who reached
there in advance of his companions,
Was taken on board the New York im-
mediately. The flagship’s decks were
lined with ofiicers and men, and as
Hobson stepped on board his vessel the
harbor rang with the shouts and cheers
of his comrades, which were echoed by
the crews of a dozen transports lying
nearby.

“'35 \Vell Treated.

Hobson had little to say in regard
to his experiences. except that he and
his companions had been well treated
by the Spaniards and that they were
all in excel-lent health.

The Spanish authorities consented
yesterday morning to exchange Hobson
and his men and a truce was estab-
lished for that purpose. The place se-
lected for the exchange was under a
tree between the American and Span-
ish lines, two—thirds of a mile beyond
the intrenchmenrts occupied by Colo-
nel VVood’s Rough Riders, near Gener-
al Wheeler’s headquarters, and in the
center of the American line.

The American prisoners left the Rei-
na Mercedes hospitale on the outskirts
of Santiago, where they hdd been con-
fined, at 2.45 yesterday afternoon in
charge of Major Irles, a Spanish staff
officer, who speaks English perfectly.
The prisoners were conducted to the
meeting place on foot. but We're not
,blindfolded. Colonel John Jacob Astor
,and Lieutenant Miloy, accompanied by
Interpreter Maestro. were in charge
of the Spanish prisoners. These con—
‘sisted of Lieutenants Amielio Voloz and
:Aurolius, a German belonging to 'the
{Twenty-ninth Regular Infantry, who
gwere captured at El Caney on Friday
'last, and Lieutenant Adolfo Arias of
the First Provisional regiment of Bar-
celona, one of the most aristocratic
military organizations of the Spanish
army, and fourteen non-commissioned
officers and privates. Lieutenant ,Aries
,and a. number of the men were wound--
ed in the fight at E1 Caney.

The Spanish prisoners were taken
,through the American lines mounted
and blindfolded. The meeting between
Colonel Astor and Major Irles was ex-
tremely courteous. bur. very formal, and
no attempt was made by either of
them to dis-cuss anything but the mat—
ter in 'hand. Major Irles was given
his choice of one of the three Spanish
lieutenants in exchange for Hobson.
and was also informed that he could
have all of the fourteen men in ex—
change for the American sailors. The
Spanish ofiicers selected Lieutenant
Arios and the other two Spams-h offi-
cers were conducted back to Juragua.

End of the Truce.

It was not then later than 4 o‘clock.
and just as everything was finished,
and the two parties were separating,
Major Irles turned and said courteous-
ly enough, but in a. tone which indi-
cated considerable defiance. and gave
his hearers the impression that be de-
sired hostilities to be renewed 2‘ meet

“Our understanding is, gel“ ”on,
that the truce comes to an end at 5
o’clock.”

Colonel Astor
and bowed to the Spanish officer "a”t‘ -
out makingr a reply, and then shamed
back slowly to the American lines.
with Hobson and his companions fol—
lowing.

The meeting of the two parties and
the exchange of prisoners had taken
place in full view of both the American
and Spanish soldiers who were in—
trenched near the meeting place, and
the keenest interest was taken in the
episode.
