Special to the Fost-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, I). July 9. Secretary Alger said upon leaving the White House war chamber at midnight that no proposition for tnirrender of Santiago had been received from the Spaniards which would be accepted. "We will go ahead on the same lines we started on," said the Secretary.

"There has been some talk of Santiago's surrender," he added. "A proposition has been made which will not be considered, and things, I think, will go on about as fhey were intended." "Do you mean by that'' he was asl.ed, "that the bombardment will be begun at once?" "I can't say definitely, but that is very probable," he It was intimated that Shafter had notified his superiors that he was ready to renew his attack and that the truce would not be extended beyond to-day. What the conditions of the proposition considered t.o-nicht are is not stated, but it may be stated that Gen. Linares must render unconditionally as first demanded by Gen. Shafter.

WASHINGTON, July 9. Ambassador Porter at Paris sent a dispatch the State Department to-day declaring that in his opinion a peace proposition from Spain wouid assume tangible form within a week This bears out the opinion of Aiuoassador Hay at London and leaves little doubt that Spain will soon abandon the fight. It is stated upon high authority that the.

only matter being considered by the present Spanish Ministry before suing for peace is the fate of Santiago. The impression is prevalent that that ci'v will yet be able to withstand the attacks of the Americans, and if it does the Ministry will remain in a better light with the people. Every diplomat here, while refusing to discuss the situation for publication, declares the Spanish Ministry cannot longer stand, and Gen. Martinez Campos GIVEN UNTIL NOON TO-DAY. Gen.

SI. after lias given Gen. Linares until noon Sunday to surrender unconditionally. The extension was granted after tin appeal from the Spanish commander for24 hours longer to think over the situation. A telegram to this effect was received late to-day.

For this reason there was no bombardment to-day, and the be- 0N THE MARCH TO SANTIAGO. will be the next Premier. It is stated by Lieut. Cohvell of the United States Embassy at London that immediately he is selected peace negotiations will begin. This is ailiy credited here, as Campos iz knoivn throughout Europe as a man who has only the best interest of his country at heart, and, in addition, is a broad-minded statesman.

He has already in public interviews that, in his opinion, the time for peace negotiations has arrived and Spa will get better terms at present than I after she forces the United States to invade be possessions in force, It is the belief here that Gen. Campos wiil sue for peace if he is selected Premier upon his own volition, believing this io be the best course to pursue. I Spain will have the moral support of France and Austria in any attempts she may make to secure a termination of the war. but the United States will deal only with Spain in the matter of a settlement of the war, as stated in the Fost-Disoatch. Should the Madrid Ministry attempt to invoke the aid of other powers in the negotiations it will be refused and the President will inform Spain that until a direct appeal is made no propositions will be considered.

The President and Secretary Day are opposed to European nations as arbitrators, and their feelings in this regard are well known in Madrid. It is thought from the intimations sent out from Madrid that it is expected the United States will be most magnanimous in dealing with that country. It can be stated upon high authority that no sentimentality will be indulged. Spain Will ,1, will be dealt with equitably and justly, but peace will be effected along the lines of sound business policy. i According to the present programme not an inch of captured territory will 'be surrendered to Spain.

President McKinley is of the opinion that the war. was started on the grounds of humanity and it would be a direct violation of the principles of his administration to place the countries captured by the United States again under the government of Spain. Diplomats in this city say that, in view of the position taken by the adminis-tration with reference to the method to be emp'oyed by Spain in suing for peace, they believe better terms can be obtained by direct representations. Ir, all controversies of this character the intermediary nations usually select something for themsehes. and in the event that none are employed Spain will pront to that extent.

i In addition to the complete surrender and evacuation of the Philippines. iLadrones, Porto Rico and -Cuba heavy war indemnity will certainly be demanded. President McKinley. through the Secretary of State, has intimated to Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British Ambassador, that Spain will be compelled to pay ior every day that the war continues.

Shafter informed lie Spanish commander that his terms would not be acc epted and it now rests with Geu.
