o'clock in the brief dispatch from ] Gen. Shelter. The president was the first to be acquainted with the action of the Spanish general, the dispatch making the announcement being sent direct to him in accordance with previous instructions. The president was alone in the private apartments of the White House conversing with Mrs. McKinley when the operator handed him the dispatch. He quickly read it aloud to Mrs,, McKinley, and then immediately sent for Secretary Alger and Adjt.-Gen. Corbin. Meantime, an instant after its receipt by the president, the dispatch was sent out and flashed to every quarter of the world. Secretary Alger and Gen. Corbin remained with the president scarcely a quarter of an hour discussing the agreement and terms to be arranged at the meeting of the commissioners at 2:30 o’clock, Santiago time.

He expressed his gratification a* the latest reports from -Gen.

He said he had telegraphed Gen. Shifter inquiring -ms to the exact terms. So far as the transportation of Spanish troops back to Spain went, that, he said, was fully mnderstood and entirely approved. In general, he regarded the situation as highly satisfactory. The OflrfaU Announcement. WABHlxeTOM, July 14.—The official -announcement of the agreement of -■Gan. Torn! was received about 3:30

A telegram has been sent Gen. Shatter requesting details of the surrender, and finsd action has been deferred until receipt of an answer. Santiago Surrendered at Three O’clock. Washington, July 14. — “Santiago surrendered at S." is the significant official announcement that reached the

president at 3:06 this afternoon. It came in a dispatch from a sifnal service officer at Playa del Eate, and told the result of the meeting of the capitulation commissioners in the most brief and concise form of any of the numerousdispatches laid before the president during the day. The dispatch was well ahead of the official message from Shafter. Santiago time is 55 minutes ahead of Washington, which accounts for the quick receipt of the result, the' commissioners not meeting until 2:30. A few minutes after this message had come to the president, the following was received by Chief Signal Service Officer Greely: ‘Plata—Gen. Gkeri.y, Washington: Santiago has surrendered. „ [Signed.] _ “Jones.” Dinpatch from Gen, Miles-Shafter and Uls , Army Entitled to Great Credit. Washington, July 14.—The war de

parole. It was this proposition which Gen. Toral declined yesterday. Decided to Hold a Personal Interview. This morning1 it was decided to hold a personal interview with Gen. Toral. Gen. Miles and his staff, who got no further than Gen. Shafter’s headquarters last night, accompanied by Gen. Shafter and his_ staff, rode out to the front shortly before eight o'clock, under a Hag of truce. A request for a personal interview with the Spanish commander-in-chief was made and acceded to. Met Between the Line*. At about nine o'clock Gen. Miles, Gen. Sbafter, Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Gilrnour, CoL Morse, Capt. Wiley and Col. Maus rode up, passed over our intrenchments and went down into the valley beyond. They were met by Gen. Toral and his chief of staff under a spreading mango tree, at the bottom of the valley, about half vray between the lines. The interview that followed lasted an hour. Represented the Sltnatloi Frankly. The situation was placed frankly before Gen. Toral, and he w&i offered the alternative of being sent home with his garrison or leaving Santiago province. The only condition imposed being that he should not destroy the existing fortiScations, tnd should leave his arms behind' Th;i lattercondition the Spanish general who does not speak English, explain ;d through his interpreter, was impossible. He said the * Laws of Spain Gave a General No Dle- ■ eretloa. He. might abandon a pla;e when he found it untenable, but could not leave bis arms behind without subjecting himself to the penalty of being court martialed and shot. His government, he said, granted him permission to evacuate Santiago. That was all. Further than that, he was powerless to go, oeo. Toral Realised HU Pcsition. Without saying so in words, Geu.

THREE MORE PRIZES TAKEN. All Towed into Key West in One DayCinder the Union Jack—Question of Indemnity Raised. Key West, Fla., July 16.—Three prizes were brought here yesterday, but none of any great consequence, and the captures were effected with only ordinary incident. The English* built steamer Grenow Castle, which for several years plied ou the Cuban coast under the Spanish flag, but on June last returned to her British registry, was taken by the Dixie off Cape Cruz last Thursday. She was bound from Kingston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo with a large cargo of food supplies. Her captain's name is Rust, and as supercargo she had one Wilson, an expert mechanical engineer. Lieut. Layton, of the Smith, with two marines and two sailors from the Dixie, was put in charge. The prize crew left Cape Cruz the same day, taking the western route, but, as the steamer's chronometer and compass were out of order they lost their bearings and narrowly escaped being wrecked east of Cape Antonio on Friday. Next the steamer blew a bole in her boiler and was obliged to tie up at a little key near Jardinelles. Then her coal gave out, and when the damage was temporarily repaired they were forced to make for the Dry Tortugas, where she obtained coal, after which she put into Key West. The crew of the Grenow Castle consisted of six Spaniards and four Jamaican negroes. The day before this capture the Dixie took also two schooners, the Three Bells and the Pilgrim, both flying British flags and both bound from Montego bay to Manzanillo with cargoes of food supplies. The Three Bells was originally a Nova Scotian boat. She is of about 125 tons, and the Pilgrim is of about 23 tons. Lieut. M. Blunt, with two sailors and two marines, was put in charge to bring her to Key West, but she has not yet arrived.

lhe British schooner E. P. dickerson was also among- yesterday's arrivals. She was becalmed off Cape Cruz, on June 30, when the Hornet steamed alongside and informed her commander that the vessel was a prisoner. There was no attempt at resistance. The tug Wampatuck and gunboat Hist were within signalling distance at the time, and Ensign McDougal, ol the Hist, the boatswain's mate and a sailor from the Wampatuck were put on board as a prize crew. The Nickerson has a negro captain, three seamen and a cook. Two so-called passengers, who turned out to be agents for the cargo, were on board. They are A.Yon Gouthard and Frank Berger, and they vigorously protested against the capture, declaring that as British subjects they* could and would claim indemnity from the Uuited States. The vessel’s cargo was food, including a deck load of pigs, goats, chickens, hour, pork, potatoes and the like, j She was bound from Jamaica for Manzanillo. I The auxiliary gunboat Unca3 towed | in yesterday a little Spanish sloop, the | Bella Ynez, taken off Cardenas. The : sloop had -no cargo and when caught | was close in shore. Four 4^ her crew j of six jumped overboard and got to land. ’ The Uncas brought also a Cuban messenger from the camp of Col. Carlos Rojas, bearing private dispatches for the United States government. The gunboat Castihe brought in two Spaniards who had deserted from a Spanish gunboat in Havana harbor and put off to the blockading deet in a small boat. TRANSPORTS AT HONOLULU. They Leave the Island*, but Soon Return, Owing: to the Flagship Springing a Leak in a Boiler. Honolulu, July 8.—Murat Halstead, the famous politician, editor and historian, is in this city. He arrived by the transport Newport yesterday. Since leaving San Francisco Mr. Halstead has been suffering from a slow fever, and soon after reaching Honolulu was transferred from the ship tc the local hospital, where he is likely tc remain for some days. He may decide to return to San Francisco unless a marked change in bis condition takes

place. Both the Valencia and Newport arrived yesterday. The Valencia arrived tirst followed" closely bv the Newport There was a slight delay to the latter on the way on account of accident. As soon as she arrived it was given opt that she would coal as fast as possible and horry to ‘Manila without regard tc other vessels of the expedition in port. At 8:30 this morning the Indians raised anchor and moved out. She war fallowed closely by the Ohio and Mor gan City. At 9:30 o’clock the Citj' of Para moved outside and joined the fleet. Just before noon the Newport with Gen. Merritt and staff on board left the harbor, the signal to sail war given and the vessels moved off. Before dark the Indiana, the flag ship, returned, accompanied by the rest of the fleet, with the exception 01 the Newport. \Vhich went on ahead The officers of the Indiana reported that the boilers had sprung a leak, necessitating the return. It will take 12 hours to make the repairs. The fleet will make another start early tomorrow morning. Conic rmt ala t Ions to tike Peoria.

There are thousands of Hay-Fever and Asthma sufferers who cannot resort to a change of climate during their annual attacks, either because of the expense or because duties at home will not permit their absence. They have to stay and suffer. There are many, also, who are year by year finding that places heretofore exempt are becoming less and less so, and they must move on to find new locations where they can escape the Hay-Fever fiend. Now this is all wrong. When doctors tell you that Hay-Fever cannot be cured, they simply mean that they cannot cure you. YY hat is it that makes one man have HayFever or Asthma and another escape entirely right by his side, exposed to the same pollen, same' dust, same influences? The uust is not the cause; the pollen is not the cause; nasal growths are not the cause. The disease is in the blood and nervous system; and it is the constitutional pre-dis-position th$t gives power to the dust or pollen or other exciting influences, to awaken the disease and make one man suffer while another goes free. t Our constitutional treatment for Asthma and Hay-Fever is addressed to this pre-dispo-sition. and by changing the constitution it eradicates the cause and cures to stay cured, taking out of a man that which makes him different from the man who has no dises.se, and giving a robust body strong and healthful. That these statements are correct, snd that our treatment doe? just what we say, is testified to by thousands who have tried it and know whereof they speak.
