Washington, July SS.-A significant statement waa made to the press yesterday by a gentleman In a position to speak wtth knowledge and authority aa to the plans of the admin istration with reference to future war operations. In substance the statement was aa follows: "Commodore Watson, in proceeding to the Spanish peninsula aa soon as the Porto Rlcan expedition is gotten under way, is not to bombard the cities on the Spanish coast. No such Idea of bom bardment of the coast Is entertained. While there may be other Incidental purposes, tho main mission of Watson is to take care of Admiral Camara's fleet. The movement of this fleet and the tears and apprehensions caused by reports concerning It are to be stopped for all time. The ships under Camara will be located by Watson and finally met and engaged. The talk occasion ally indulged In as to the Canary Islands la utterly without foundation. This government haa no plan to take those Islands, and does not want them. "Despite popular expectation that Porto Rico operations will be followed Immediately by action against Havana, H can be said that Havana will not be attacked while yellow fever conditions exist. This Is certain. It would be the height of national folly to engage our troopa In and about .that fever pest hole. Consequently It will be left until the climate lends Its aid In the autumn. Shatter will hold his own In the eaatesn strip now surrendered, may gradually push his way over some other district. and if there should bo any particular need of Immediate aggressive action at any point will movo against K, but Havana will be left until yettow fever dangers are past" General Shatter Pays Garcia Did Not Attack Spaniard Retnrnlna; to 8nr-render-Forty Cubans Knleaaed from Santiago Jail. ... Santiago de Cuba; July tl Every thing here Is peaceful. The 7.000 Span ish soldiers at Uuantanamo lay down their arms yesterday. The 6,350 from Palma Soriano, San Luis and Longo surrendered on Sunday to Lieutenant Mlley. and yesterday pack trains with provisions ware sent them. The only others Included In the capitulation are Z.OOt troopa at Baracoa and 1.000 at Sagua. They have not yet been turned over, but they are nowhere In General Garcla'a vicinity. He is at Jlguany, and reached there without encountering any Spaniards. General Shatter au thorizes an absolute contradiction of the report that Garcia encountered a force of Spaniards who were returning to Santiago to surrender and waa de feated by them. Colonel Krra P. Ewers, of the Ninth Infantry, acting for Gen eral Shatter, will receive the formal surrender of Guantanamo. On Sunday General Shatter released 40 Cubans who had been' confined In the local Jail on political charges. In deed, some of them were confined with out charges of any character, others on the most trivial pretexts and yet others solely because of sympathy with the Insurgent cause. The Jail Is still filled with many whose crimes and sen tences are not on record and are ab solutely unknown, so far as has yet been ascertained. A general Investiga tion haa been ordered Immediately. American newspapers which have ar rived here contain articles written ap parently under a misapprehension of the facta regarding the conduct of the campaign and the dictation of the terms of surrender. General Miles was here simply aa a visitor and adviser. In his official capacity he had nothing to do with the terms of the capitula tion, the entire credit for which be longs to General Shafter, who on July 10 received the following dispatch from General Corfcln, at Washington, of that date: "The secretary of war directs me to ' TO?ED' OUT BY FLAMES.

Prisoners of war cheering the flag of their captors waa the unusual sight witnessed, at the Union dock In Brooklyn yesterday. The sight was all tho ' more significant as the cheers came from Spanish throats. The 1G4 prisoners captured on the four prise steamers now In port were about to sail for home under the Brit ish flag. They were on board the Ilea peria, of the Anchor line, and Just as she backed out of the dock one of thb patrol gunboats came "byWlth one ac cord the prisoners raised three mighty cheers, which startled the people oh the Brooklyn shore and could be heard on Governor's Island. It was the best they could In thanking Uncle Sam for the kindness lavished on them while they re prisoners. Among the 254 prisoners were six of ficers. One of these officers said: "If our men In the field realised either the hopelessness of our cause or the treat ment they would get at the hands of the Americans they would not fight long. The quickest and easieet way to reach home Is to surrender. I believe in fighting where there Is a chance, but our blockaded soldiers dont know we haven't a chance. They can get home quicker by surrendering, and in the meantime be well fed and taken care of. But they think the Americans will mur der them.'' h'vers. f: TOR OUR VOLUNTEERS. r n me World.

STARVING CUBANS' APPEAL Begging Admiral Sampson to Hasten the Capture of Clenfuogo. Guantanamo Bay, July 26. -The fol lowing pitiful appeal has .been ad dressed by the starving people of Clen fuegoe to Rear Admiral Sampson; "Honorable Sir: The Cubans, old men, women and children, residents In the town of Clenfuegos and this neigh borhood, are all dying ot hunger. The young men are In tho field with the Cuban troops, and have not shoes, neither food. All the provisions In this town are In tho hands of the Spaniards. Cubans cannot obtain a piece of bread, as it is necessary to send everything to the field. The situation Is terrible. If you, honorable sir, do not come quick with your squadron to our help and take possession of this town we shall be lost. We bog you to precipitate yuur operation. About 6,000 old men, women and children will die of hunger in this town. Some of those old men have four or five sons fighting for his freedom inis is our horrible situation.

Five small boys, while playing along the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western tracks near Lackawanna, yesterday, witnessed a i fiendish murder. Giuseppe San tor, j leader of the Italian band at that place, and another Italian, thought to have I been Raphael Pasquel, were seen quar- I re) Ing a few rods from the boys. San- ' tor struck his companion, who drew a short handled ax from beneath his coat and dealt Santor a violent blow on the , neck, cutting a deep gash. While San-1 tor lay prostrate the murderer swung' the ax- and nearly severed Santor's j head from the body. The boys screamed and the murderer chased them a few ! rods and then disappeared. The police are looking for the murderer. Since the case went to the Jury about 25 ballots were taken, and in nearlv every Instance the vote stood 7 to 6 for acquittal. Immediately after the fact thut there had been a disagreement had became known there was considerable discus sion as to what course will be folowed by the government with relation to another trial. District Attorney Van degrift said that he could not say when Senator Kenney would be placed on trial again, but waa under the Impres sion that the government would en deavor to have It arranged to take place In September. The trial of Senator Kenney began In the United States district court two weeks ago yesterday, and aside from the nature of the charge against him, occupied considerable attention be cause of the defendant's high position as the Junior senator from Delaware. Much testimony wus taken during the trial, and the principal witness against Senator Kinney was Wlllium N. Boggs, former teller of the bank, who pleaded guilty to defaulting in the sum of $107. 000. The bill of Indictment under which Senator Kenney stood trial named specifically 25 counts on which the grand Jury hod found true bills. All but six of these were disposed of by de murrer or nolle prosequi. These six ag gregated about $3,50(1, which amount the senator was charged with ulding and abetting Boggs in taking from tho bank.
