As soon as tho American warships appeared at tho entrance of Suhlg Hay the Ireno slipped her cable and steamed out', leaving her anchor at tho hottoin.

It is believed that when tho monitors Monterey and Mimadnock arrive in Manila Hay Admiral Dewey will insist that his regulations be observed to tho letter by the German warships.

WITHOUT FIRING AGUN The Whole Eastern End of the Island Falls Into the Hands of Our Govern ment Negotiations Before the Surrender, Generals Miles, Shatter, Wheeler and Other Generals Participating, With Gen eral Toral Brought the Spaniards Faca to Face With the Inevitable. Playa Del Este, July 15. General Toral, commanding tho Spanish forces In Santiago de Cuba, yestorday morn ing sent a communication to General Shatter, Indicating his willingness to accept the terms of surrender proposed Wednesdny and uskjng the American commander to nppolnt commissioners to moot tho Spanish commissioners to arrange to send the Spanish troops back to Spain. This will bo promptly done. The surrender of General Toral not only means the fall of Santiago, but by the terms of surrouder the wi.ole east ern end of the Island falls Into the hands of tho United States without firing a shot. Tho surrendor Is to Include all tho Spanish troops at Santiago, Guantan amo, Calmanora and Sagua, composing the Fourth corps of the Spanish army. Tho portion of tho province of San tiago do Cuba that lies east of the line from Sagua, via Las Pamas, to Assorradores Is surrendered to tho United States. Tho Spanish forces Involved In the capitulation of Santiago, which com prise about 15,000 troops, will not bo taken back to Spain In American ves sels, but It Is tho purpose of our gov ernment to ask for proposals for their transportation. BEFORE THESURRENDER Negotiations Between General Toral and Generals Miles and Shatter. Hobson Present. Playa Del Kste, July 15. General Shatter on Monday did not again do mand the unconditional surrender which General Toral had refused on Sunday, but offered as nn alternative proposition to accept the capitulation of tho enemy and to transport the Spanish officers and troops to Spain, they to leave all their arms behind and ho to accept tholr parole. It was this proposition which General Toral declined Tuesday. On Wednesday It was decided to hold a personal interview with General Toral. Genera! Miles and his staff, who had got no further than Gonoral Shatter's headquarters, accompanied by General Shatter and his staff, rodo out to tho front shortly before 8 o'clock under a ting of truce. A request for a personal lutorvlow with the Spanish commander-in-chief was mado and ac ceded to, and at about 9 o'clock Gen eral Miles, Gonoral Shaftor, General Wheeler, Genoral Gllmour, Colonel Morso, Captain Wiley and Colonel Maus rode up, passed over our en trenchments and went down Into tho valley beyond. They were mot by General Toral and his chief of stafl under a spreading mango tree, at tho bottom of tho valley, about half way between tho linos. Tho Interview that followed lasted almost an hour. Tho situation was placed frankly be fore General Toral, and ho was offered the alternative of being sent borne with his garrison or leaving Santiago province. Tho only condition Imposed was that ho should not destroy the oxisting fortifications and should leavo his arms behind. This latter condition tho Spanish goucral, who does not speak English, explained through hlB Interpreter was impossible. He said the laws of Spain gave a gon oral no discretion. Ho might abandon a placo when ho found it untenable, but he could not leavo his arms bohlnd without subjecting himself to tho pen alty of being court martlaled and shot. His government, he said, had granted him permission to ovneuato Santiago. That was all. Further than that he was powerless to go. Without saying so In words, Genoral Miles said the tenor of General Toral's remarks all betrayed his realization that ha would not hold out long. When General Shatter explained that our re inforcements were coining up, that ho was completely surrounded, and that new batteries wcro being posted, Gon oral Toral simply shrugged his shoul ders. "I nm but a subordinate," said ho, "and I obey my government If It Is necessary we can dlo at pur nost." SPAIN IS READY TO FREE CUBA. Special to KvuKivn IIgkai.ii. Washington, July 15.

Announces Himself as an Independent Candidate for Senatdr. REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. The Friends of the Ex-Senator Claim That He WaB Defeated Tor the Democratic Nomination by Questionable Metkodi-A Triangular Fleht. Tho announcement that ex-Senator Malachi Watson, of town, had been urged to become an Independent candidato for Senator in tills district, caused a small sensation iu nuliticul ciiclos, especially among the friends and sup porters of John F. Iliggins, who was nomi nated at (Iirardville this week bv what thu friends 01' Watson claim were questionable methods. Theio is ovory reason to believe that Mr. WaUon's independent movement will inako things exceedingly interesting in tho Thirtieth Senatorial district. There will bo thieo candidates when tho liepublieans navo maue their nomination, aud it will not romilio tho discernment of a political prophet to piodict the lesult in November it will bo simply a question of plurality be tween the Kcpubllean and Mr. Walon ; tho regular Democratic nominee, as is gonerally acknowledged, cannot win in a thico-coruered fight. A tcpicsentalivo of tho IIkkali. called upon Mr. Watson this morning to ascertain tho coriectnoss of tho rumor, and that gentle man iraiiKiy admitted that ho was an inde pendent candidate for Senator, and his manlier indicated that he was in earnest. In re ply to the inquiry as to what called him to take tho step ho said : r.iglit yeais ago I was a candidate for Senator in this district, at tho riiiivp.iiti,,.. hold in Ashland, aud had moie than enougl votes in tho convention to secuie my nomiua i...t , ... . . mill, mil 1 n.is IIIUUICU Olll.

Mr. Watson further stated that had lie been defeated by fair means lie would Jiajo honestly worked for tho success of his op. poneut. The committee on credentials, and the lavish uso of boodle, brought about his defeat. Ho claims to havo had a majority of tho votos iu tho convention, but tho manipu lation of the committeo on credentials, tho throwing out of his delegates, and tlm l.ivUl, uso of money by the iliggins men kucreeili.il in defeating him by tho narrow margin of 575 votes. Had tho districts been honestly considered hi delegates would havo been seated, and ho would have easily been nomi nated. The committee on credentials, how ever, refused to allow the contesting dele gates 10 appear bolore them, and two dele gates were thrown out by an unwarranted usurpation of power, in order to save the Hlggnis chairman whoso seat was contfislml and who would thus he deprived of electiou as chairman. -Mr. Watsuu coucludcd bv sav. ing that ho was undoubtedlv tlm favnritn candidate beforo the convention, and believes me ncmocmtic voters will so decide in No vember. In justification of tho claim that the Watson delegates were the "regular" dele gates it is cited that tho convention In Maha i.uy City so declared. The delegates seated at (lirardvillo from tho First ward of Jlaha noy City (Iliggins men) are said to havo acknowledged that tho contesting delegates wcro entitled to their seats. Mr. Watson lias about concluded the neces- sary arrangements to take out papers. He was in Pottsvillo yesterday for that purposo. Tho announcement of Mr. Watson's eamli. dacy has caused consternation among his opponents. They recoguiio his popularity among the voters, and that his greatest strength will come fiotn the Democratic. ranks. Besides, lie is known as an aggressive fighter, and has tho means to thoroughly can vass the district. Iu the Republican ranks the announcement is received with .satisfac tion, because in a three-cornered fight the Democratic vote in this district will neces sarily bo divided, and the Itepublican candi dato will reap tho IwiieHt. i'OI.ITIC.VI.
