Off Juragua, Saturday.—The surrender of Santiago was for mally offered by the Spanish commander, Gen. Tora), today, but the conditions attached caused a prompt refusal of tin offer by Gen. Shafter. 'Die nego tiations, however, resulted in the extension of the armistice until noon Sunday and white Hags ol truce still float over the oppos ing armies. Gen.

A detail was sent to meet them and the) were escorted to comfortable quarters while the letter from Gen. Toral was carried to Gen. Shafter’s tent, two miles from the front. The letter was couched in the ieily courteous terms character istic of such communications and was as brief as possible, li bore the signature of Gen. Toral, who commands at Santiago since Gen. Linares was wound ed, and stated that he was pre pared to surrender the city pro vided his army would be allow ed to capitulate “with honor.’ This, he explained, meant that the Spanish forces should be unmolested and go in any direction they wished, with arms and flying their colors.
