SPUN PREPARING
Measures Are Taken to
Quell Any Dis
turbance. PROCLAIM STRICT CENSORSHIP
The Government Apparently la About
to Sue for Peace Minister Correa's
Bold Ta)k Forbidden to Publish
Any Writings Without Authority.
Madrid, July 18. A decree has been
published suspending throughout Spain
the lights of individuals as guaranteed
by the constitution. The government
wishes to have full power to suppress
evidences of discord or rebellion which
might appear.
The decree of the captain-general of
Madrid says decrees suspending the
constitutional guarantee throughout the
kingdom have been published, and a
state of war exists. It is ordered that
00 meetings take place without previ
ous authority of the military authori
ties. It is also forbidden to publish,
without previous authorization, any
writings, engravings or designs what
ever. The decree concludes by specify
ing the punishment for those who dis
regard the orders issued..
The publication of the decree is ac
cepted as proof that peace negotiations
.are actually in progress. Piemier
Sagasta is quoted as saying:
"Spain wants peaoe, but it must be
an honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
The army is anxious to resist to the
last, but the government cannot con
sent to such a useless saorifice. Had
we our fleet, the situation would have
been very diflerent."
The pacific tendency is increasing,
the general publio taking a favorable
view of the suggestion that the powers
should attempt the re-CBtablishment of
peace, but it is said, contrary to reports
current, France has not taken (the
initiative.
The minister of war, General Cor
rea, is quoted as saying in an inter
view, he thought peace might be ar
ranged on the following terms:
"The United States and Spam to
agree to let the Cubans decide by pleb
iscite whether they desire independ
ence or autonomy under the suzerainty
of Spain. The governments to agree to
abide by the result of the plebiscite,
and in the event of the Cubans voting
for independence, the United States to
allow Spain nine months in which to
withdraw her army gradually and dig
mifiedly from Cuba, as soldiers should,
after having fought like heroes."
uontinuing tne minister lor war
said:
"We ought to retain Porto Rico at
an oosts 111 order to be always near
Cuba, whioh the Americans will be
able to despoil in course of time, and
in order to more easily communicate
with the South American republios,
which daily display the greatest enthu
siasm for Spain.
"As to the Philippine islands, it is
certain we will retain them, even
though the Americans suoceed in oc
cupying Manila, of which plaoe their
occupation will be most brief. An
official dispatch announoes that the
rebel chiefs and Americans will not al
ways agree, which is to Spain's advant
age. The government has formed t
scheme, which will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
islauds, but which will restore their
tranquility."
On leaving the cabinet council this
evening, the ministers proteased still
to be without confirmation of the re
ported capitulation of Santiago.
BROUGHT TO A STOP.
French Gnnboat Held Up in Guanta-
naiuo Hay After Hour.
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July 16. -A Frenoh gunboat of about
2,000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to
night without permission, and met
with a surprise party, ine cruiser
Marblehead fired a blank shot as the
gunboat came into the entrance to the
harbor, hut no attention was paid to
this, and a shot from a 6-pounder wa8
sent aoross her bows. This, too, was
disregarded, the gunboat coming along
under full steam.
For a few minutes it looked as if a
row was possible. The trumpets on
the Marblehead rang out a call to
Quarters, and another shot was sent
across the Frenchman's bow, this
time in uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, however, and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenness.
It is against naval custom for a war
vessel of one nation to enter a port
which the vessels of another nation
are blockading, unless permission is
granted. The captain of the French
gunboat was either in ignorance of the
American occupation, or chose to dis
regard it until forcibly reminded of the
fact by Commodore McCalla.
The gunboat was allowed to anchor
in the lower harbor for the night.
Treating the Wounded.
Washington, July 14. Surgeon-General
Van Kevpen, of the navy, received
a report from the surgeons with the
fleet showing that in many cases of
wounded, some of them eerious, no rise
of temperature or an accumulation of
pus has appeared. From a medical
standpoint this is said to be a great ad
vance from the conditions during the
civil war, and is attributed to the intro
duction of antiseptio treatment of
wounds. It shows that no fever fol
lows the wound.
MILLIONS IN DUST.
Gold-Laden Steamer St. Paul Arrive at
San Franclnro.
San Francisco, July 19. After be-
ng eagerly watched for during the last
10 days, the steamer St. " Paul arrived
tonight from St. Michaels, bringing
men and treasure from the Klondike.
There were 176 passengers on the list,
and the amount of their earnings in
jolddust, nuggets and bank drafts is
nstimated by the ship's officers at 83,-
000,000. ,
The largest amount brought out by a
single prospeotor is in the possession
of T. I. Pickett, who has $80,000, prin
cipally in gokldust and nuggets. Pete
Wybird admits to ownership of $50,
000; E. J. Nash has $30,000 and Fred
Berry, of Fresno, Cal., who had previ
ously brought out a fortune, says he
has another with him now, but de
clines to disclose the amount.
J. Dumas, who has been prospecting
on Eldorado creek, has $45,000 to show
for his labors in the frozen north, and
W. E. Burn, who suffered the misfor
tune of having bis feet frozen and los
ing both by amputation, feels compen
sated by the possession ot $100,000 in
oash the proceeds of the sale of his five
mining claims. J. Dumas spent only
one month in the Klondike, but during
that period realized $20,000 from his
olaim, and juBt before his departuie
sold the claim for $25,000 more so.that
bis days at Dawson were exceedingly
profitable.
The returning miners say that it is
idle for prospeotors to go to the Klon
dike now expecting to locate claims as
all the mining land of any value has
already been staked out. The only
manner in which claims can be now
acquired in said to be by purchase.
The general concensus of opinion is
that the value of Minook creek as 9
center has been overestimated. Claims
there are pronounced to be of little
value and the intending miner if he be
guided by the experience of these pio
neers will confine bis operations to the
neighborhood of the original gold dis
coveries near Daweon.
Dominion oreek is pronounced the
richest of the Klondike streams in the
precious metal. Eldorado and Bonanza
creeks are considered by these prospect
ors only second in importance to Do
minion. -
It has been learned on reliable au
thority that the Alaska Commercial
Company received tonight' about (8,-
423,000. Adding this to the amount
brought down by the miners whioh is
row placed at over $3,000,000 the
Klondike treasure carried by the St.
Paul is not less than $6,000,000 or
$7,000,000.
FEVER SPREADS.
Sixteen New Cases Occur Among
Troops One Death It Beported
the
Washington, July 19. -The only dis
quieting news received at the war ae-
partment during the day was as to the
yellow fever condition at the front, and
this was modified In an encouraging
way later bv General Shatter s news,
It was a dispatch from Colonel Green
leaf, chief surgeon with the army in
Cuba, saying that 16 new oases had
appeared. His dispatch was as follows:
"Siboney. via Hayti, July 18. To
Sternberg, Woshington: Sixteen new
cases in the past 24 hours, and one
death. Sanitation measures are rigid,
"GREENLEAF, Chief Surgeon."
While tli is was regarded with some
apprehension by laymen, the surgeon
general's department considered the
showing entirely satisfactory. Colonel
Alden, acting surgeon-general during
the absence of General Sternberg, said
a report of only 16 cases was an exoep'
tionally good showing as the number
must be taken relatively to the large
number of men at the front. With the
surrender accomplished there would be
better opportunity to get tne men on
high ground and keep away from in
fection.
During the day a leport was received
stating positively that no cases of vol
low fever existed on the Harvard, which
brought a large cumber of sick Spaii'
isb prisoners to Portsmouth, N. H
This not onlv relieved officials as to the
conditions at Portsmouth, but also as
to the Harvard, for it would be a se
vere handicap to the navy if this crack
craft had to go into quarantine.

Colonel Hecker's Plan for Transporting
the Spaniards. .
Washington, July 19. Secretary Al
ger today indorsed the plan of Colonel
Hecker for the transportation of the
Spanish troops from Santiago back to
Spain. It provides for an aggregate of
1,000 Spanish officers, with first-class
cabin accommodations,' and 24,000 sol'
dlers, with third-class steerage passage,
The colonel says that the Spanish sol'
diers will be delivered on board at
Santiago for Cadiz or such other ports
as may be designated. It is provided
that the accommodations are to be kept
up to the standard required by the
United States army regulation as to
officers and men, in regard to the gal
leys, ventilation, etc. Subsistence
furnished is to tie equal to the United
States army ration, which is set forth
in detail as a guide to bidders: as to
what they must furnish.

Cleaning the Harbor.
Washington. July 19. It is expect
ed by the navy department that but
few ships of Admiral Sampson's squad
ron will enter the harbor at Santiago.
Enough vessels will be sent in to put
the harbor in condition for naval oper
ations.
St Thomas banks attached 6,000
tons of American coal in an action for
damages growing out of the tefusal of
the government to pay a draft made by

SANTIAGO IS OURS
Spanish Stronghold Sur
renders Without
a Fight.
PRISONERS TO BE SENT HOME
The Eastern End of Cuba Is Now in Our
Possession Capitulation Came After
a Brief Conference Between General
Toral and Sh after and Miles.
Washington, July 16. Santiago for
mally surrendered at 8 o'clock P. M.
The adjutant-general today received
the following from Playa del Este:
"I have just returned from an inter
view with General Toral. He agrees
to surrender on the basis of his army
being returned to Spain. This proposi
tion embodies the surrender of all of
Eastern Cuba lrom Acerraderos on the
south to Sagua on the north, viaPalma,
with practically the Fourth army corps.
The commissioners will meet this after
noon at 2:30 to definitely arrange the
terms, ' SHAFTER."
Adjutant-General Corbin announced
that Santiago surrendered soon after
General Shafter's dispatoh was re
ceived, a telegram having been received
which showed that the Spaniards agreed
to our terms. Onlv the details Of the
GEN. WM. It. SHAFTER,
capitulation now remain to be ad justed.
The war ' department has notified
General Shatter that his plans are ap
proved so far as , they are known, in
eluding the agreement for . shipment of
the Spanish troops to Spain. The state'
ment that the Spanish proposition em
braces all Eastern Cuba from Acerrad'
eros to Sasua is important, in that it
shows the surrender to embrace all the
harbor and contiguous territory in San
tiago. It does not include Holguin and
Manzanillo, where the Spaniards are
reported to have considerable bodies of
soldiers.
The navy department also received
word of the snrrender in a brief dis
patch from Admiral Sampson.
The war department received the
following, written apparently before
the final surrender of Santiago at 3
o'olock:-
"General Toral formally surrendered
his army at Santiago on the terms and
understanding that bis troops shall be
returned to Spain. General Shatter
will appoint commisioners to draw up
conditions of arrangements for carrying
out the terms of the surrender. This
is very gratifying, and General Shafter
and thj officers una men 01 nis com
mand are entitled to great oredit for
their sincerity and fortitude in over
coming the almost insurmountable ob
staclos which they encountered. A
portion of the army has been infected
with yellow fever, and efforts will be
made to separate them and to keep
those who are still on board ships from
those on shore. Arrangements will be
immediately made for oarrying out
further instructions of the president
and yourself. NELSON A. MILES,

APPEALS FROM ALASKA.
Bills Passed by Congress Providing for
Their Transfer.
Washington, July 18. The bill
providing for the transfer from the
cirouit court ot appeals for the ninth
circuit to the supreme oourt of certain
appeals from the distriot court of
Alaska, the passage of which by the
house was in a great measure due to
the efforts of Representative Tongue,
was steered through the senate the day
before adjournment, alter being re
ported on the same day from the judi
oiary committee. Action on the meaS'
ure was exceedingly rapid, for when
the bill had passed the house, June 21,
it was immediately sent to the senate
and there referred to a committee,
from which it was favorably reported
within two weeks. That is a short
time tor considering a bill of suoh im
portance, and the fact that it passed
this session reflects great credit on
Senator McBride, under whose guid
anoe the matter was carried thiough
the senate.
Klver Is Not Mined.
Astoria, July 16. Now that Santi
ago has fallen, government officials
here have given out the statement that
the mouth ot tne Columbia was never
mined, or any preparations for subma
rine defense made. ratrol-boats were
stationed just inside the beads, and in
coming steamers were hailed and or
dered to proceed nnder slow bell, that
tbe mines might not be interfered
with. The forts had orders to fire up
on all vessels not complying with the
regulations.
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Blanco Was Frenzied When He Heard
of Cervera's Defeat.
Key West, July 15. Acoordlng toad-
vices from Havana reooived here today,
Governor-General Blanco attempted to
aornmit suicide when he learned be
yond doubt that Admiral Ceiveia's
quadron had been annihilated. The
sarlier misleading dispatches, which
gave the impression here that CerVera
had eluded the American fleet, caused
the greatest joy in Havana, but when
the truth became known, with meager
etails, showing the' utter destruction
of Cervera's squadron, all gaietieb were
topped and every publio and many pri
vate buildings were hung with crepe
and other black draperies.
Blanco was in the palace when the
intelligence readied him, and he be-
oame almost frenzied. He was oloseted
with his staff and General Arolas, of
the Spanish forces, disucssing the news,
when be made the attempt on his life.
After a struggle he was subdued and
disarmed, but the sbock was so severe
that he was prostrated 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 severe and where many
are starving daily.
This and other information was
brought by Jose Pauline Blanco, who
indignantly repudiated a suggestion o
kinship with the governor-general. He
says he is a loyal Cuban, and escaped
to avoid the necessity of fighting
against his cause, as every male in the
island who is able to bear arms is being
pressed into service. Blanco says the
living conditions in Havana are con
stantly growing worse, the greatest dis
tress necessarily falling on the Cubans,
as nearly all the food is seized for the
troops.
The reconoentrados who have suffi
cient Influence with the dispensing
authorities sometimes contrive to get
one wretched meal a day. but the others
starve, and it is no uncommon thing,
Blanco says, to see persons drop dead
in the streets. Even among the Span
iards starvation is rapidly sapping their
loyalty, and large numbers of men are
banding themselves together, awaiting
the first American attack on Havana as
a signal for revolt. The grocery and
provision stores are empty.
Work on the defenses continue with
ceaseless vigor. Two lines of cable-
bearing torpedoes have been strung
across the harbor from the city side to
Morro castle, and the seme has been
done in the bay of Mariel, where it was
reported American troope are to be
landed.
The Spanish ships now In the harbor
are tbe gunboats Conde Venadito, Mar
quise de la Ensenada. Neuva Espana,
Filipinas and Nunez Pinzon, several of
wbipJi are unfit for service. '
ITALY TO USE FORCE.

Washington, July 15. The state de
partment has been notified that the

adopt force in securing the payment
by the republic: of Colombia of the ar
bitration award made by President
Cleveland in favor of Ernesto Oorrutti,

ment bas summarily closed diplomatic
negotiations with the Colombian min
ister at Rome and notified Admiral
Candani to proceed with the Italian
squadron to Cartagena, Colombia, and
there adopt forcible means to collect
the amount. A dispatch from Caracas
announoes that the Italian squadron

GERMAN BLUFF
Dewey Quickly Showed
His Authority in
Subig Bay.
KAISER'S WARSHIP RETIRED
Raleigh and Concord Prevented Its In
terferenceThe Capture of ' Isla
Grande Insurgents Aided In Taking
the Port From the Spanish.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 15.
The insurgents, on Wednesday, July 6,
reported that the German cruiser Irene,
in Subig bay, refused to permit them
to attack the Spaniards on Grande
island. Rear Admral Dewey promptly
dispatched the Raleigh and Concord to
investigate tbe matter. On entering
Subig bay the Raleigh opened fire on
the forts, whereupon the Irene slipped
her cable and steamed out by the other
channel. The result of the fire of
tbe American warships .was that the
Spaniards .numbering over 500 men sur
rendered everything.
On returning to Manila, the Irene ex
plained that she interfered "in the in
terest of humanity," and offered to
hand over to the Americans the refugees
she had on boaid. Admiral Dewey
has declined to accept them.
Governor-General; Augnstin has is
sued a proclamation promising to grant
autonomy to the islands and offering
the irvBnrgents inducements to join the
Spanish forces. . General Aguinaldo,
tbe insurgent leader, in a reply, said
the overtures of the Spanish command
er came too late.
Washington, July 15. The adminis
tration is very much pleased with tbe
readiness shown by the admiral in
meeting the grave issue presented to
him at Subig bay, as he did. Naval
officers, too, were not a little gratified
at the Bpeedy retirement of the German
cruiser Irene, after the appearance of
the Raleigh and Concord.
Tbe navy department has received
this dispatch from Manila: "Aguin
aldo informs me that his troops have
taken all the Subig bay ports except the
Isla Grande, which they were prevent'
ed from taking by the German man-of
war Irene. On July 2-7 the Raleigh
and Concord went there; they took the
island and about 800 men, with arms
and ammunition. . There was no re
sistanoe. Tle Irene retired from tbe
bay on their arrival. . I shal' sand tbe
Boston to help Aguinaldo, It is not
practicable to send to Guam. No troop
vessels are available. - DEWEY.
A comparison of tbe ships show that
tbe Irene was much superior to either
of these two - American vessels and in
tonnage was almost as large as the
Jialoish and Conoord together. From
this, it is inferred that the retirement
of the Irene was from motives ot gen
eral policy, rather than from any dispo
sition to try conclusions with the two
Amerioan ships. In armor, the Ger
man ship was rnnoh stronger than the
Americans, but in guns tbe Americans
had tbe advantage.
In official quarters here there appears
to be no disposition to look upon the
action of the Irene as a menace which
will require explanation. , it was
thought at first that this outward show
of force on the part of the German
ships might lead to an inquiry by this
government as to the purpose of Ger
many. Thus far, however, there is no
disposition to make such inquiry or to
attach much importance to the incident
Insurgents Captured a Steamer.
liong Kong, July 10. letters re
ceived here from Cavite, nnder date of
July 0, say that while the Spanish
steamer Filipinoos was biding in the
river near Subig, the crew mutinied
and killed the officers. They then
handed the steamer over to the insur
gents, who armed the vessel and dis
patched it to Subig for the purpose of
making an attack on Grande islucd.
Continuing, the letter confirms the
story told by the press correspondent at
Manila in regard to the action of tbe
'Gorman warship Irene, and the steps
taken by Admiral Dewey to prevent in
terference with the insurgents, adding
that the Spanish prisoners, in spite of
'their protests, were handed over to tbe
insurgents with the captured arms and
ammunition. Tne Hermans, it ap
pears, fraternize with tbe Spaniards
and German officers are often seen in
the Spanish entrenchments.
Dysentery is reported to have broken
out among the American troops.
Germany's Plans Defeated.

right cable from Manila says that Ad
miral Dewey's possession of Subig bay

still irritating, Admiral Dewey is man
aging them with great diplomacy. Ha
does not expect any trouble with them

regarding Watson's ortiise.
Secretary Long said that no appre
hension whatever existed over tbe
Spanish threat that the Camara. squad
ron woud be divided, part of the ships
coming to this side to attack seaport

bluff, and it will not have the effect of

than a match for any of Catnara's ves
