United States Consul Hanna has received in formation that the foreign consul, at San Juan de Porto Rico, the capital of this island, advised the Spanish au thorities to surrender the island to the American troops. The Spaniards, however, in reply, announced that they had resolved to fight. Thereupon the consuls notified the Spanish com mander. Captain General Macias, that they would establish a neutral zone . between Rayamon and Bio Piedras, in which to gather the foreign residents and their portable property, in Order to insure their safety in the event of a bombardment of the place by the American forces.
