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.

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.

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.

PEACE NOW AWAITS
SANTIAGO'S FALL.
Special to Kvr.NINO II1.11AI.D
Madrid, July 11. 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. GERMANY MUST
MAKE EXPLANATION.
Special to KVKSISIl llKUAMi,
Washington, July 11. Thu administration

gained by Hear Admiial Dewey is success

tho exact position of the Horlin government
with refercnto to tho Philippine question,
and tho effort by tho German war ship Ireno
to picvont tho operation of the insurgents
against the Spanish foices at Subig Hay will
iu all probability be tho lover employed to
pry into Kmperor William's confidence. A
copy of IJear Admiral Dewey's despatch re
lating to the Iieuo's strange behavior was
laid before the President, and official notice
will bo taken in tho premises.

they wero not iu tho lockup, but iu tho Coun
cil chamber. As soon as I got in thoro I asked
If tho lockup was too common for these
gentlemen. Ono of tho prisoners Jumped at
1110 and tore my coat and scratched mo.
Finally, with tho assistance of tho police, J
got them to tho lockup, and wo had ditilcalty
