Spaniards Want to Retain Their Arms-Shafter Has Been Cabled By
the President to Make No Further Concessions. '
WASHINGTON, Jul' 15. A serious hitch has occurred in the negotiations for the
surrender of General Toral and his forces at Suntiago. Shafter cabled the war department
that Toral, who surrendered with the siMe stipulation that his troops should be transported
to Spain, now demands that they be permitted to retain their arms. The president, after a
conference with several of the cabinet officers, sent instructions to Shafter to make no con
cessions further than those agreed to. If Toral persist in his demand hostilities will be
resumed. Despite the fact that everything pointed to a settlement of the strife, three more
transports loaded with troops, signalmen, supplies and ammunition, left Tampa late this
afternoon for Santiago.

THE CAROLINES
WILL BE ANNEXED
Such Are the Indications at Present-'-Third
Expedition Delayed by
Trouble on Board the Indiana.
Hoxoltjlu, J uly 8. Since the arrival
of the Monterey it has been rumored
-among Honolulu officials that the Stars
ond Stripes would be floating over the
-Caroline Ielands before the Monitor
reached Manila. Captain Lentz bor
rowed charts of the island and harbors
from the captain of the missionary
steamer, Morning Star, and other prep
arations that were made here point to
what is generally believed to be the in
tention of the United States to seize
these Spanish possessions.
The third expedition was delayed
here some time by the Indiana, which
had to return to Porto Rico after the
fleet bad sailed because of a bad leakage
in her boilers. Three of the other
trensports came with her; but the New
port, which is conveying General Mer
ritt the Philippines, was so far ahead of
the rest of the fleet when the accident
occurred that she could not be signaled.
The fleet was delayed over twelve hours.
Many Prisoners 111.
Portsmouth, N. H., July 15. The
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, having on
board 1008 Spanish prisoners, arrived
this morning. An investigation dis
closed the fact that nearly half the men
on board are ill. Six Spnniards died on
the passage, another death occurred
this afternoon, and three patients are
not expected to live. There are eighty
serious cases in various portions of the
ship. All the patients are said to he
victims of malarial fever. The physi
cians will make a further inspection of
the vessel and determine whether or not
she shall be sent to quarantine,

coated, pain continually in back and
sides, uo appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters, and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bot
tle made a decided improyement I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my lite and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.

to Treasure Ships.
San Fbancisco, July 15. Referring to
the mission of the gunboat Bennington,
which sailed yesterday, the Examiner
saya:
"She will next be heard from at some
port on Puget sound, possibly Port
Townsend. It is rumored that definite
knowledge has been received regarding
the whereabouts of the Spanieh privateer
ot which considerate mention has been
made. Several vessels laden with gold
are expected from St. Michaels.
"The gunboat Wheeling was sent to
that port some time since to guard
American interests there. Just how the
warships may act in conjunction is not
given out, but it is believed that the
Bennington will divide the work of pa
trol duty with the Wheeling. The' lat
ter might accompany the tieasure ships
part of the way down, and the Benning
ton continue the voyage to this or the
sound ports."

Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov

years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoca Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the'
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val

very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by
