Only Seven Thousand Prisoners Will Be Surrendered to
Gen, Shatter,
Madrid, July 20. Gen. Parreda, the Spanish commander, refuses
to be included in the capitulation of Santiago. According to Spanish
military law tho commander can surrender the troops he personally
commands, but he cannot oblige other commanders at distant points,
eyen though under his authority, to follow suit. Consequently it is
held hero that the "Capitulation" only comprises about 7,000 troops
which were actually at Santiago.

Special to Journal.
Portland, July 20. The Oregon
and Navigation Company are un
doubtedly entitled to great credit for
the manner in which they are adver
tising the Vail territory, of Eastern
Oregon and Washing, and also the in
terest taken in developing the agrl.
cultural and mineral wealth. The
company also conducts several experi
mental farms, which are watched with
great interest by tho agriculturalists
of that section of country. The people
of Eastern Oregon and Washington,
which the lines of tho company
traverse, have begun to look upon the
railroad as a public benefactor. It
has been the policy of the company
to build up the interests of Its terri
tory and its latest achievement In
this line has been to engage a large
corps of cxpertFwho are.thornughly
conversant with the best methods of
raising fruits, grains, vegetables and
all sorts of live stock, to lecture free
to the farmers, stock, and business
men of the eastern part of the state.

Portland, July 20. Portland is

from a private letter, is even worse off
than our fair city as the ladies of that
fair blrg who are suffering from 1
consuming thirst, cannot even go to
the side door of a saloon for a drink
without risking a tine, botli for them
selves and the deepenser of cooling
beverages. This Is indeed hard on
the fair ones when tho thermometer
is standing at 110 in the shade.
Visit- Portland's Chinese Quarters.
Special to Jeurnal:
Portland, July 20. A number of
eastern tourists last night took In
the Joss House and tho wonders of
Portland's Chinatown. They all ex
pressed great surprise at the narrow
quarters, want of light, and air, and

they taken a look at some of the
crowded tenement districts of the
large eastern cities, not tilled by the
coolie hords of the cast but by strug

PAY-DAY IN THE ARMY.
Shatter's Army Will Receive Nearly a
Million Dollars.
Chicago, July 20. A Tribune spec
cial from Washington says:
The auxiliary cruiser Resolute will
sail from New York with $750,000 on
board to pay the American troops at
Santiago. This Is the amount due
General Shatter's army for June.
Major Snlffens is to have charge of
the payment. All tho money taken is
to be in coin, The coins range in
denominatlomfrom $5 In gold to cop
per pennies.
"The taking of the Santiago army's
pay all In coin," said Major Fish
back, one of Major Sniff In's assistants,
"is an idea of gthe Paymaster-Gen
eral Stanton. The purpose Is to In
troduce American money in Cuba.
General Stanton was of the opinion
that it would bo an excellent idea to
drive out tho Spanish depreciated cur
rency at the same time that the Span
ish soldiers are driven out- With a
stable currency on the island, the
plan to establish a stable government
would bo greftly facilitated. The
time to begin, he contended, Is at the
beginning. The force of his argument
was appreciated by tho administra
tion, and he was given his way. 1 The
scheme Is to put out of circulation
altogether In Santiago province all
Spanish money, both coin and paper.
By the introduction of our coin into
Santiago province General Stanton
believes that our money can at once
be made tho staneaid of value.
"In order to effectively carry out
this plan, each soldier will bo in
structed, as he is paid, to buy from no
tcadesman in Santiago who cannot
give him his change In American
money. The difference In the money
value of his own country and the
money of Spain will be explained to
him, and he will be asked to accept
nothing but America money. Tho
pay officers of tho government will
pursue this plan of General Stanton's
wherever the Americans are succersf ul
on this side of the ocean.

DEWEY AND GERMANY.
The American Admiral Asks Some Per-
tinent Question.
New York, July 20. A World dis
patch from Manila says:
Admiral Dewey sent a message to
the German admiral recently to In
quire whether American and Germany
are at peace or at war. If they are
at peace, lie'demanded that the Ger
man warships hero pursue a different
course; if they are at war, he wanted
to know it, and could govern himself
accordingly, Admiral Dewey was
prompted to send this peremptory
message by the action of the German
cruiser Irene in preventing an insur
gent attack upon the Spanish garrison
at Subig bay, which greatly dis
pleased him.
Admiral von Diedrichs, in com
mand of the German fleet in tho
Paclfic,returncdan answer which was
apolegetic in tone and was satisfactory
but afterwards sent to Admiral
Dewey a note saying that he objected
to tho Americans stopping German
ships which had been in the bay once.
Tho German ships havo made a
practice of coming into Manila, and
then making trips outside tho bay,
cruising among tho Islands and return
ing In two or three days. The Ger
man contention is that a ship should
not bo stopped after the first time.
Admiral Dewey replied that Manila
is a blockaded port, and that he will
continue to have all ships communi
cated with when he desired, whether
on the first or the hundredth time of
entering tho bay.
The German admiral responded,
still objecting and saying that ho
would submit tho question to the se
nior officers of his other warships.
Tho Germans continue to keep a
squadron of warships In the bay hero
and about tho islands. The cruser
Kaiser and the cruiser Irene have re
mained at Manilla, The protected
cruisers Kalscrln Augusta, Princess
Wllhelm andCormorant have returned
from the island of Cuba, of the Vizca
yas group.
