LOXDOK, July 22. The statement made by Senor Gamaxo, the Spanish Minister of Public Instruction, to the effect tbat peace honorable to the Spanish army will shortly be concluded, is regarded to London more as an Indication of personal opinion or hope than ss reflecting any genjv.l decision -of the Cabinet. Nothing showing any more In the direction of peace has been received here from any quarter likely- to be well Informed on the subject. Th Spanish Ambassador, Count Rascon. Who was questioned on the subject, said: "We have no news from Ktadrid.

snd we have no reason to believe any such decided step has been taken as Senor Gamaxo's statement would Indicate." It Is known that the Spanish Ambassa dors have been sounding the other Ambas sadors at all the courts of Europe, with the object of inducing concerted represents tlons at 'Washington to stop the war, and there Is reason to believe that Great Britain Is no longer alone in demurring to this and pointing out the uselesaness of such course. On the other hand. It Is said that repre sentations to stop the war have been made at Madrid, but, judging from the results. they have not been sufficiently strong to In duce Spain to come to her senses. It is recognized by all except Spain that the United States will refuse to listen to suggestions upon the part of the concerted Powers.

"In this one of th Ambassadors said to a representative of th Associated Press, "Spain knows the Irreducible mini mum upon which the United State will discuss peace. What Is she waiting for? Spain seems to forget that the United States can stop the war the moment she likes; no that aha has no Spanish fleet to reckon with, she can take Puerto.

General Blanco Says the Place It of I Great Importance Spanish Army Intact Hataka. July 22. Captain General Blan co has Issued, the fallowing proclamation announcing the capitulation of Santiago. It Is dated Havana. July 17: After three months' heroic defense and many bloody combats, owing to a scarcity of ammunition and victuals, rbe garrison of Santiago de Cuba has been forced to capit ulate under honorable conditions and with all tiie honors of war.

This occurred on the day of July 10. when It was recognised by the brave Spanish General of division who waa acting- commander of th plaee that resistance waa useless and that be could no longer bold the place. Notwith standing that re-en foroetnents bad been pos sible and that altbougti he should receive such from Manxanlilo and although should still cover further LOSSES AND BLOODT COMBATS, And although be might put the city In better condition of defense, he was still face to face with the fact that re-enforce ments would only make further Inroads upon th already greatly consumed and nearly exhausted store of Drov talons of ths -Spanish garrison. The city was thus placed In very lamentable condition. Tb situ a lion was anticipated, but caused great depression to the Spanish forces "The occupation of the city of Santiago by the military force of the Americans Is lacking In strategic Importance owing to the fact that the city had Drevloualy been blockade for a Ions time bv tha American ships, and WtU hav llttls or no effect on thkm.

Can we, not help to expose this and give shape and direction to the burning Indignation of the people at the way In which our soldiers have been nag looted and ill fed?

Reply. i Kiw Tons. July XX A dispatch from' Santiago gives the following as being letter sent by General Garcia te General Shatter: 8ra: On May 13 the Government ef th Republic; ot Cuba ordered me aa commander ot the Cuban army In the east, to co-operate with the American army, following tb plan and -obeying the orders of Its commander. I nave done my best. sir.

ts ful fill the wishes of my Government, and I -have been until now on ef your most faithful subordinates, honoring myself to carrying out your orders aa far aa my puw-rs have allowed me to do It. "Tb city of Santiago surrendered ts tb American army, and news ot that Impor tant treat was given to me by persons entirely foreign to your staff. have not been honored with a single word from your self Informing me ASOtT TMB XSCOTlATIONe For peace or the terms of capitulation by the Spaniards. The Important eeretnony of the surrender of the Spanish army and ths taking possession ot the city by yourselves took place later on. and I only knew of events by public reports.

I waa neither honored, sir. with a kind word from yeu Inviting myself or any officer of my staff to represent the Cuban army on that mamorabla occasion. Finally, I know tbat you have left In power at Bant la ao the mtr Spanish authorities that for three yearsH bav fought aa enemies ef the Independence of Cuba, beg to aay that these authorities have ntr been elected at Santlasro by the residents th city, but wer appointed by royal decree oMhe Queen of Spain. I would agree, sir, that the army under your command should have taken possession of the city, the garrison and the forts. I would give my warm eo-operstlon to any measure you may have deemed best under AMBRICAM MIUTAkT LAW To hold the city for your army and to preserve public order until the time come to fulfill the solemn pledge of the people of th United States to establish In Cuba a free and Independent Government.

But when th question arise ef appointing au thorities In Santiago de Cuba, under th peculiar circumstance of our SO years strife against Spanish rule, I cannot see but with th deepest regret that such se thorttl are not elected by the Cuaiii but are the same ones selected by the Queen of Spain, and hence our Ministers to defend against the Cubans the Spanlsn sovereignty. "A rumor, toe absurd to believed. Gen eral, ascribes th reason of your measures and of th orders forbidding my army to enter Santiago for fear, of massacres and ravsmas asalnat th gwanlards. Allow me. sir, to protest against even th JKADOW Or SVCB AM I DBA.

We ar not savages. Ignoring the rules of cJvUlsed warfare. ar a poor, ragged army, a ragged and as poor as was th army ef yosr forefathers in their Bobl war for Independence, but, as did tbe heroes oC Saratoga and Tork town, we respect too deeply our causa to disgrace It with barbarism and cowardice "In view of all these reasons, I sincerely regret to be unable to fulfill any longer th orders of my Government, and therefore, I hare tendered to-day to the CommaBdar-ln-Chlef of the Cuban Army, Major General Maximo Gomes, my resignation as com mander of this section of our army. Awaiting his resolution. I withdraw my force to th interior.
