White Bread b US SHIEU I Such is the Latest Intelligence Announced By the War Department at Wash ington Late This Afternoon. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY WAS FIRM. VIC'TOItV! Special to Kvkmnu Huuald. Washington, July I4, .j:00 p m. An ofllclal of the war department has stated that a telegram was re ceived from General Shafter, saying that Santiago lias surrendered uncon ditionally. The announcement caused much rejoicing and satisfaction in official circles. Wliile the war department lias posted no bulletin to that effect, yet it Is believed that the announcement of the surrender is official at least it comes from an official source. Special to Kvmkikii IIlCHAI.U. Wushlnuton, July II. Tlio Wiir ilcpait ment to-tlay received a tulc(jr.im from (Ion. Shatter at Snnliaijo, saying that Iho Siianiard.s had appointed a commission to nrmnt'o thu terms of surrender. Tho army (itllclals hero look upon this to mean tliat tho Spaniards will suriendor, and for that reason, mid to brinjf tho hostilities in tliat lorallly to a speedy end, tho admlnistra tiou refuses to appoint a commission to meet (ieu. Toral's commission, Gen. Shatter has been so notified. Immediate and unconditional surrender aro the only terms that will ho accepted by President McKlnloy. (Jcn.Toral, in command of tho Spanish forces, said on Tuesday that ho would sur render if terms not humlliatliiK to tlio troops wero sut'Kcsted. (leu. Miles and Shafter mot him yesterday and gavo him until noon to day to learn If Spain would let him sur render unconditionally, and from the tolo gram received to-day from Shatter it is bo lioved Toral has been so instructed by bis homo L'ovoniment. Dispatcbos hi tho hands of Washington officials from Madrid Indicate, that Jllauco has instructed Toral to resist tho attack of the Americans while ho can, but to end the struggle when ho thinks best. This is one reason why tho officials bore rofiiso to ap point a commission to meet tho Spaniards. Madrid information officially announces that Gen. Toral has been ordered to resist to the death. (Jen Shatter believes that the acceptance ot any reasonable tonus for tho surrender of the city will be preferablo tou long-drawn out siege in which thero must boa groat sacrifice of life from flghtiug and sickness. It Is kuown by tho American commanders that tho enemy aro short of ammunition and food, and tho Spanish troops have to bo kept lu tho trenches by threats. The situation of tho defendors of Santiago is desperate, and they havo nothing to hopo from further fighting. Tho President realizes, from advices re ceived from Santiago, that if tho army remains thore much longer there Is no know what havoc tho yellow fovor may cause among our troops, and that is why the President will not adnjlt of further delay. When the liattlo again starts, thero will bo uo cud until tho city has fallen. The American army now extends around Santiago In nteml-circlo for eight miles and touches tho bay 011 either side of tho city. Thore is no escapo for the Spaniards unless they cross tho bay iu boats, and undor tho circumstances that Is not at all probablo. lllg Kedllctloii Halo, Por tho next 30 days we glvo 10 nor cent. off on every dollar, In order to reduce our stock.

Key West. Kin., July U. Aceordlnf? to advices from Ilnvami Governor General ISInnco attempted to commit suicide when he learned beyond doubt that Admiral Cervpru's squadron had been annihilated. I.onc before the Spanish admiral's (rallant dash out of j SantlaKo harbor all Havana had been boastliiR of his ability to outwit the Americans, and when misleading dis patches gave the Impression that he had eluded the Amprlcan fleet the de monstrations of Joy In the Cuban cap ital partook of the nature of a festival. When tho true story of the defeat came It was discredited until definite con firmation from Madrid no longer left room for hope. Gloom settled upon the city, all Kaletles were stopped and every public and many private bulld inRS were buns with crepe and other black draperies. Dlanco was In his palace when the Intelligence reached him, and be became almost frenzied. He was closeted with his staff and General Arolas, o the Spanish f 01 res. dlscusslnp tho nevs, when he made the attempt on bis life. After a struggle he was subdued and disarmed, but the shock wns so severe that he was pros trated and compelled to keep to his bed for several days. When he arose his first order was to prohibit any food supplies leaving Havana for Interior towns, where the distress Is most poignant and where many are starving dally. This and other valuable Information was brought by Jose Pauline Ulanco, who Indignantly repudiated a sugges tion of kinship with the governor gen eral. He says he Is a loyal Cuban and escaped to avoid the necessity of fight ing against his cause, as every male In the Island who Is able to bear arms Is being pressed Into the Spanish ser vice. He obtained a fisherman's permit to go outside llorro and at 0 o'clock Monday morning put off In a small boat. The gunboat Bancroft was sta tioned six miles out and he rowed to her, the Cojlmar battery, east of Ha vana, firing two shots at him when ho was observed passing beyond the pro scribed limits. The liancroft trans ferred him to another vessel and he was brought here. nianco says the living conditions In Havana are constantly growing worse, the greatest dltress necessarily falling on the Cubans, because nearly all the food Is seized for the troops. Of those there are about 70,000 In the city, con sisting of volunteers, mobilized troops, mllltla and regulars. Their rations aro largely rice mnl beans, without even bacon. Jerked beef, Illanco says, sells for 30 cents a pound, bread of poor quality for r.0 cents, lard $1, meal 75 cents, cormneul 25 cents and rice 50 cents. Shark food Is even eagerly sought, nnd the day before Illanco left the city 31 shark caught In Havana harbor sold for $13.50. Those of the reconcentrados who have sufficient Influence with the dis pensing authorities sometimes con trive to get one wi etched meal a day, but the others staive. and It Is no un common thing, says nianco, to see per sons drop dead In the streots. Even among the Spaniards starvation Is rapidly sapping their loyalty, and large numbers of men are handing them selves together awaiting tho first at tack on Havana as a signal for re volt. The grocery nnd provision Btores nre empty, and the only articles on the Havana wharves aro about 1,000 barrels ot cement, wet and useless. Only liquor Is to be bad cheaply. Illanco f uitber repoited that three weeks ago the Siinnlsh steamer Monte video and Santo Domingo crept out of tho harbor ot midnight with nil lights out and safely got through tho block ade. Tbeie are five Spanish gunboats In the hnrlinr. he says, most of them converted yachts nnd unfit for use. Tho merchant steamers Josofa, Adola and Maria Herrera aro also In tho harbor. SpnnMi anil (InnnaiiH Krntornlzo. Hong Kong, July U. Letters received here from Cavlte under date of July 9, say that while the Spanish steamer Flllplnns was hiding In the river near Sublg, the crew mutined nnd killed the officers. They then handed the steamer over to the Insurgents, who armed the vessel and dispatched It to Sublg for the purpose of making an attack on Grnndo Island. Continuing, the letters confirm tho Btory In regard to the ac tion of the German wnrshlp Irene and the steps taken by Admlrali Pewey to prevent Interference with the Insurg ents, adding that the Spanish prison ers, In splto of their protests wero handed over to the Insurgo'nts with the captured arms and ammunition, The Germans. It appears, fraternize with tho Spaniards nnd German officers are often seen In tho Spanish trenches. Dysentery Is reported to have broken out among th American troops.

Tho War Olllcobas le cclved fioin Captain-General Illanco a notifi cation that ho has Instructed Gen. Toral, tho commander at Santiago, to ref it the Ameri cans as long as possible, but fully empower ing him to end the struggle at bis discretion. The War Office admits that tho lescrves of ammunition at Santiago wero reduced by the explosion in tho cathedral, caused by an American shell, and that provlslonsaro shott, hut declares that tho tioops aro In good spirits. Tlio government, It is believed, Is only awaiting the fall of Santiago, to ask for peace. Scnor Sagasta, for tho first time, said openly that tho time for peace- had come. Ministerial organs spouk only of peace. If Santiago falls the givomuient has decided to ask tho iminediatii suspension of hostilities. Tho Cabinet, along these lines, is to be it organised.
