Pitt Weehln J&St, EXPECTATIONS IN WASHINGTON. It is Believed That To-day San tiago will be Surrendered or Captured. GEN. SHAFTER'S PROGRAMME. Government's Desire to Horry Up Matters Strengthened by the Appearance ot Yellow Fever Among the Troops. . j Good News from Dewey. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, July 13. While the long expected fall of Santiago did not take place to-day, it is evident that 'the crisis has been reached. Within the next twenty-four hours Santiago either will surrender or will receive such a baptism of fire as seldoms falls to the lot of a besieged town. "If he refuses, T -will open on him at 1- noon to-morrow with every gun . ha ,-e, and have the assistance of the navy. Are ready to bombard the city with thirteen-inch shells." That is the programme laid down by Gen. Shafter and it is to be car ried out to the letter. Gen. " Shafter is still commanding, according to the War Department officials, and al though dispatches have been received from Major General Miles, signed "Major General Commanding, it is said that he has not displaced General Shafter in direct charge of the operations. The public, in one of these telegrams from General Miles, was given tne nrst notice that our government, in the course of negotia tions with General Toral, had offered to send the Spanish forces in Santiago back to Spain. A few days, ago it was stated that the President would insist upon unconditional surrender, but it appears that conditions have been modified as indicated by Gen. Miles- This was done from a desire to avoid useless bloodshed, for General Toral's army, removed 'to Spain, would be harmless to prevent our further operations in Qirba ana would serve as good pur pose a would the destruction of " the Spanish army. To allow the Spanish General to withdraw to the in terior and fall baek on Havana, on the other hand, would put us under tne obligation of overcoming that addi tional force when it comes to the siege of Havana. Oui government was moved to make this proposal to remove the Spanish forces to Spain through a strong1 desire to close up the operations at Santiago at the earliest possible mo ment. This desire has been materially strengthened by the Appearancee of Yellow Fever witiiiu the (American lines. It was first supposed that the men were fall ing ill with malaria -climatic fever, so the cases were reported as simply sus picious. Now, however, comes the final admission that they are genuine yello v fever eases. Their appearance has determined the authorities upon a more active prosecution of the cam paign Orders either have or soon will gy forward to Gen. Shafter to dis cuss no more with the Spanish command':- the terms of surrender, but to proceed to assault that town, with all the force at his command as soon as the present" truce expires. It is expected by Shafter that the navy will cooperate and, while Secretary Long has received no direct advices on that point from Admiral Sampson, he fully credits the expectation. Reluct ant as the War Department is to sacrifice the many lives that might be lost in a assault, it is deemed to be better policy to make it than allow the men to rot away with fevers and other diseases during the long period that would I e required to perfect the reduction of the city by steady .investment. An expectation is still entertained here, however, that this assault will be unnecessary, through Toral surrendering before it begins. It was perhaps the spread of this be lief caused y a knowledge of the more energetic steps in prospect, that tended to remove largely fee feeling of depression manifested at the opening of the day upon the circulation of ru mors of the appearance of yellow fever in the American camps. 4 After Capture of the City. Regarding the future of Santiago nothing has been officially stated, but it is significant that orders were issued from the department this afternoon to prepare the First and Second regi ments of volunteer immunes for imme ' diate departure for the front. This would seem to be indicative of a pur pose on the part of the government to garrison Santiago with fever-proof men, after its capitulation, thus per mitting the removal of the regular troops to more healthy points. . Good News from Dewey. Turning to the Far East, it was re freshing to receive to-day good news again from Dewey. In fact, it is be pnnintr to be remarked that that offi--cer is usually able to make felicitous reports. The administration is very much pleased with the ireadiness shown by the admiral in meeting the pave issue presented to him at Subig "ay. and just reported, as he did. Naval officers, too, were not a little gratified at the retirement of the Ger man cruiser Irene after fee appearance of the Raleigh and Concord. - A com parison of the shins shows that the irene is much the sunerior of either of the two American vessels and " tonnage is almost as large atthe Raleigh and Concord together. rom this it is inferred that jjte retirement of the .Irene was from motives of general policy rather man from any indisposition to try conclusions with the two American Sips- The Irene is a protected cruis-- built of steel, with three screws, two funnels and two military masts; MOO tons. Her protected deck is of steel three inches thick. Her arma ment consists of fourteen six-inch guns eight one-pounders, four torpe do tubes and one torpedo vidette boat, jine Raleigh is of 3,183 tons and the wmcord of 1,700 tons. The Raleigh "as a protected deck of U inch thick ness, and the Concord protected steel eck of H inches. Together the two American boats have about 40 guns, our Rattling guns and eight torpedo lubes. In armor the German ship is rjen stronger than thi "UUn guns the America vantage in number anUieneral "veness. Not a Menace by Germany. In official quarters here there ap JJJl to be no disposition to look W the action of fee Irene as a Jfenace which will require explana rn; It was thought at first feat this Urt OUtwowl .1, of the German ship might lead inquiry by this government as re purpose of Germany. Thus far, wever, there is no disposition to o,r sucb inquiry or to attach seri UQS importance to fee incident. Dispatches from Gen. Shatter. .Washington, July 15.

Letters re ceived here from Cavite Under date of July 9 say feat while fee Spanish steamer Filipinas was hiding in the river near Subicr. the craw mntined and killed fee 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 Island. Continuing, fee letters confirm the story told by fee Associated Press cor respondent at Manila' in resrarA tvtViA action of fee German warship Irene and the step taken by Admiral Dewey to prevent mterierence with the insur gents, adding feat the Spanish orison ers. in spite of their protests, were nanoeo over to the insurgents with the captured arms and ammunition.

Troops at Cavite. London, July 14. The special cor respondent of fee Times at Cavite writes as follows, under date of July 16, via Hong Kong : "I arrived here on July 7. Admiral Dewey and- Gen. Anderson received me cordially and gave me quarters with the officers of the Fourteenth regular infantry. The American troops are a fine looking body of men, but the discipline is easy and not at all comparable to an English army corps. "There are about 160 cases in fee hospital, chiefly of complaints caused by eating fruit or drinking unaltered water. A steamer arrived on the 9th from Australia wife 3,000 frozen car casses for the American forces.' "The condition of Manila is said to be terrrible. It is hoped the town will surrender without necessitating a bombardment, but fee Spanish authori ties are obstinate and a capitulation is not likely. The whole American ex pedition is expected here by July 30. "Admiral Dewey, whose attitude has 1 been particularly humane and lenient, has now declared a complete blockade. Yesterday he sent away fee British steamer Esmeralda which wished to take passengers for Hong Kong. The conduct of fee Germans still causes grave suspicion." . PROTEST AGAINST PEACE. Tbe Spanish Army ia Havana Declare They Will Not Recognize Any ! '- Agreement. By Cable to the Morning Star. London, July 13. A special dis patch from Madrid; published this af ternoon, says Captain General Blanco has replied to the Spanish govern ment's reiterated representations in regard to peace by energetically pro testing against the idea of peace. The captain general says fee report that the government has resolved to nego tiate wife the United States has had a deplorable effect, especially among fee troops. He adds that a deputation of officers chosen by fee army had begged him to convey to the govern ment their protest against any propo sitions of peace, claiming feat nothing can justify a cessation of hostilities at present. Continuing, General Blanco says: "The army has only just come into action, and thus far cannot be said to have suffered a reverse, although op posed numerically to a far stronger force. The deputation declares that so loner as it is not conclusively proved feat the troops are incapable of successfully defending Cuba, Spain cannot treat for" peace" without dis honoring her army in fee eyes of fee world, me uuoan volunteers are A ' A even more violent opponents oi peace. They declare they will not recognize any agreement concluded under fee present conditions, and that even deserted by Spain they will con tinue fee war themselves." SECOND N. C.

But the Assault Cannot Begin Until Heavy Artillery is at the Front Heavy and Continuous Rains Prevent Movement of Guns Copyrighted 1898 by the Associated Press. r.. t jrw juragua, July 12, 8 P. M., via Kingston, July 13, 10 A. M. All fee negotiations for a peaceful surrender of Santiago de Cuba ended in utter failure to-day and the City must fall ny tne sword. Gen. Toral, fee Span ish commander, has finally and defl mwsiy reiused Uen. Shatter's pro posal tor an unconditional surrender. and the American army now only awaits fee word of its general to begin fee final struggle. Just when the attack will be made denends unon tbn ti TT1A wVnrVi txrill ensue before Gen. Randolph can land his batteries at the front, as it is defi nitely settled that fee forward move- A.

Randolph's movement bee-an early this morning, but to-night out oi tne ten batteries, only one of four guns had succeeded in making its way over the almost impassable trail to the trenches at fee. front. This wife the four batteries already there, is not con sidered by the American commander as sufficient and probably twenty-four hours more will elapse before the general engagement begins. Gen Lawton's entire division was moved to fee northward a mils and a half Lia extreme right being placed at Caimero on tne ooraer oi tne harbor. This , movement places the American forces Santiago and cutting off the retreat of at n - M- - i me opaniaras except oy water, as our nanus rest at the water's edge.

This is a most important move as it enables fee American forces to shell fee city wife out injuring fee hospitals and public buildings, which are flying fee Red Cross flags, fee present position being such that shells can be thrown over all the buildings feus protected from as sault. Tbe little town of Caimenes was evacuated by the Spanish troops yes terday and is now occupied by fee Cuban troops with a few companies of regulars. Its occupation is most im portant to the American forces, as it completes the semi-circle from water line to water line, and hems fee city .

The Plan of Battle. Under the present plans fee Ameri can army and navy will begin fee at tack at fee same time. The fleet will hurl shells into . fee city, while the great coil of American soldiery will gradually tighten about fee Spanish positions, fee divisions advancing from all along the line. As the semi-circle narrows the batteries in fee rear will maintain a heavy fire. The American officers feel confident the city can withstand this terrible assault but a short time. Gen. Miles went to the front to-day and will probably remain there the greater of to-morrow. The General was accompanied by Troop A of fee Second cavalry, fee only mounted trofop of Gen. Shatter's army. It was raining heavily when fee start was made. Owing to fee deep mud it was almost dark when he reached the front. To the correspondent of fee Asso ciated Press, who accompanied him to the front, General Miles said : "I have not come down here to take command and shall probably remain but a few days. It is too late to make any changes in fee plan of campaign, even if I desired to do so. But, I have no complaint to make. Things seem to be moving in good shape. I in tend to look over our lines and posi tions and study fee situation thor oughly, but I will not interfere with the conduct of fee campaign. This is likely to be fee only trip I shall make to fee front." The Rainy Season. The last two days have been the worst of the campaign, so far as the weather is concerned. Fierce, tropical thunder storms have been frequent, wife an almost continuous .downpour of rain. The rifle pits and trenches at fee front have been flooded and last night few men in fee besieging army were able to sleep, owine to the amount of water on fee ground. The already heavy hardships endured have been greatly increased and much ill ness is likely to result, as no adequate shelter is possible The trail to the front is in frigrhtful shape. The streams are swoollen and 1 the soft soil is cut into almost im passable shape by the wheels of supply wagons. One of Randolph's light batteries occupied a whole day in get ting to fee front. The rain is coming down in torrents to-night and a thun der storm is raging along the coast. If the storm continues, it is likely to de lay operations seriously. Troops from the auxiliary cruiser Yale and the St. Paul have been land ing in fee rain all day and have been Eomg into camp' wet and miserable. It as been a bitter experience for the raw troops but they will be pushed right on to fee front to-morrow. Miles and Sampson Confer. The fleet was inactive all dav. The Brooklyn occupied a position about five miles west of the harbor entrance and fee remainder of our warships were strung along the coast as far east as Juragua. . At the latter point the flagship New York lay nearly all. day. Rear Admiral Sampson and Gen. Miles were in frequent com munication during fee afternoon. Gen. Miles went on board fee New York at about 9 o'clock and a frequent exchange of notes between the two commanders occurred later. The na ture of their conference could not be ascertained; but it is supposed to have related to a concerted attack upon Santiago. . j '1L Several oi our mwuuuig 1. Vow Y orlc.
