YELLOW JACK AMONG TROOPS Information Refused Regarding Extent of the Disease. THE ADMINISTRATION ANXIOUS. Qeneral Toral Definitely Refuses Un conditional Surrender Army Ready Placing Guns. By Wire to Thb Tclkjbam. Washington, July 13 The adminis tration is anxiously awaiting definite news of the situation at Santiago. There is some show of impatience be ing manifested. The news contained in General Shatter's despatches re ceived to date serve only to add to the painful uncertainty of the situation It is reported that General Shafter cabled the department this morning that the bombardment by the ships was ineffectual. It is known positively that Pecretary Alger has wired Gen Shafter for immediate details concern ine the situation but no reply had been received up to two o'clock. Genaral Miles, in his reports, sig nines that strictly routine work is be ing done. He has made no reflections on General Shafter's mode of opera tions. It is the opinion of some that a errand assault on Santiago took place this morning, but this is discred ited by the officials. REFUSED TO SURRENDER. Off Juragoa, July 13 All negotia tions for peaceful surrender were ended last night in utter failure when General Toral definitely refused unconditional surrender. It seems now as if the city must fall by the force of an American assault. The army now awaits only the word from its general for the final struggle. When the attack will be made depends upon the time which ensues before all the batteries can be gotten to the front as it is definitely settled not to besrin the final attack until all the heavy batteries are properly placed The roadbeds are in bad shape, making the moving of the heavy ar tillery next to impossible. It may possibly, be twenty-four hours before an open engagement takes place. Siboney is in ashes tonight, burned by order of the health authorities for the purpose of ridding the hospital and camp of unhealthful and dirty buildings and driving away scores of Cuban followers whose presence was a serious inconvenience to the surgeons.

Two propositions have been under consid eration, one to establish a big stock ade with barracks at Galveston for the confinement of enlisted men. and another to send common soldiers back to Spain in neutral vessels, retaining the officers hei e. The danger of ' a yellow fever epi demic among the captives has been the principal argument against the establishment of a prison in this coun try, while the proposition to return them to Spain has been received with considerable favor.

We simply had to fire where we thought they might be. During the two engagements I was in I saw but two Spaniards. Both of these I saw in the first engagement. In the second I did not get a chance to fire, though I was in it for several hours, and was half-way up the hill when struck. At the first engagement near Sib oney, where the Rough Riders were first subjected to such a galling fire, uu waere we lost a lot oi men, we were not surprised. We knew that the 3 1 . . . .
