Spaniards Threaten to Hum Santiago Rather Than Surrender the City. 8rlcf . Kingston, Jamaica, July 7 The refugees arriving from Santiago declare that Ocn Linares intends to burn the town before surrendering. They report that in spite of his declaration, since the effects of the fierce American nttack became known in the city tho residents aud nearly all of the soldiers have been in favor of surrendering before the Americans can begin n bombardment. When tho refugees let tSanliago the American troops were within 300 yards of the barbed wire fences just outside of the city lines, and Archbishop of Santiago had appealed to the Spanish commander to surrender rather than be subjected to a bombardment. Gen. Linares, although in great pain from the injury to his arm and compelled to depend fur support upon Gru. Tornl, absolutely refused to comply witii tho archbishop's re quest, aud then made the threat to hum tho city if the Americaus in Santiago had been greatly reduced in numbers just prior to the arrival of Gen. Pando's Tue refu gees declare that Gen. Linares had only 1,000 regulars, aud 200 volun tecrs left with which to defend the city. Several thousand of his men had been killed and wounded and Admiral Cervcra no longer was aiding with his tlcct. The troops were much depressed Over these conditions, and their spir its were further lowered by the wounding of Gen. Linares and the death of Gen. Vara deRcy, who suc ceeded Gen. Linares in commanding the troops at the front. If the Spanish troops could have their way, I am told, thoy would surrender to Gen, Shatter forthwith. Gen. Pando's arrival with additional troops by the latest information here, places the total strength of the Spanish in Sautingo at only a little mure than 11,000. Tho refugees cslimato of his strcngtli is 7,000. Only two houses in the city of Santiago had been destroyed by the American fire up to the time the refugees left thcrofor Kingston, but the Spanish ship Trafalgar, which was lying in the harbor, had been sunk by a shell. Two men were killed and five wounded. One woman was kill ed by the firing on the city. The refugees left Santiago in boats, being allowed to tako no baggage. Crowds surround the consulates in the beleagued city, praying for per mits to leave. Flour is not obtainable in Santiago ; beef costs $1.40 a pound, rice 50 cents a pound and lard $ a bottlo.

LA BOURGOGNE More Details of the Recent Terrl' bio Disaster at Sea. dcrlppS'McItae Service. Halifax, N. S., July 7. The ship Cromartyshire in tew of the Allen steamer Grecian came into the har bor jesterday with her bow stove in and partly dismantled. She bad been in collision with the French steamer La Bourgognc off Sablo island. Tho latter sank with GOO people, 200 of whom were saveJ. . Only ono woman survivor is among the saved. The only olllccrs saved were the purser and three engineers. Thirty men belonging to the crew were also picked up. The balance of the '200 saved arc passengers. Tho steamer belonged to the general company, better known as the French line. She was of 2,1107 tons burden and a first-class passenger ship in every respect. She carried a crew of -20 men, and bad aboard 505 passengers when she left this port Saturday. Of the pas sengers 85 were in the first cabin, 125 in the second cabin and 205 in the steerage. Tho collision occurred at 4 o'clock in the morning of July 4. A heavy fog prevailed and the crash came al most without warning. Most of the passengers wt n iu their state rooms. So quickly did the vessel founder that a number of these did not even have time to reach tho deck and died in their staterooms. The woman saved was Mrs. A. La Cassc. She was picked up by her husband and placed on a life raft. She clung to the raft until picked up. Another woman was with her, but she was washed off tho raft by the seas and drowned. Copt. Deloncles stood on the bridge of his thip as she went down. He refused to leave tho vessel and perished. Tho, scenes enacted on board La llourgognc just after the collision were terrible to witness. Men fought for positions in tho boats like raving maniacs, and others were forced back and trampled on by tho human beasts who invaded the first law of nature and mado self preservation their first object. On board were a large num ber of Italians and other foreigners who cared little for human life. These fiends stopped at nothing. In one boat was a party of 40 women, but so great was tho panic that not a hand was raised to assist in her launching. The occupants so near safety were drowned like rats when the ship, with an awful hissing sound, went down with hundreds of valuable lives. So desperate was the situation that an Italian passenger drew bis knife and made a thrust at one, who like himself was endeavoring to reach tho boats. Immediately this action was imitated in every direction. Knives were flourished with deadly iffect. Woman and children were driven back into inevitable death at the points of weapons, the owners of which wcro experts iu their use. Even sex was not respected, and according to the stories of somo of the survivors, women were stabbed like many sheep. The sccno on tho waters was even worse. Many of those who were struggling in thb water attempted to drag tbemselrcsjjito boats aud on rafts. These wcro rudely pushed back to a watery grave. It was a time in which com passion was col to be found. Hero, too, knives and other weapons did their work. There was nothing but gigantic peril, and it was a case of the survival of tho fittest, ouch scenes were fortunately shut out from the eyes of those on board tho sailing vessel. Tho fog prevented the Cromartysbiro crew from being eyewitnesses to the terrible affair, but there wt.s plenty of evidence of struggle when the survivors came nn board.

The Hong Kong correspondent of the Diily Mail says: "The triumphal entry of tho reinforcing squadron into Manila harbor was marred by an uopleasant incident for which the Germans wcro responsible. As the ships came up the bay they were closely followed by tho German warship Kaiserin Augusta, which had been cruising about for some time. The impression given everyone who watched her was that she was not only making a close observation of the American forces, but endeavoring to show both Americans, and Spanish that she represented a nation which must bo reckoned in the present crisis. The feeling among both Americans and Englishmen in the bay is that Germany's attitude as shown by these movements is highly reprehensible and anything but respectful toward the United States. "Many German merchants at Manila are almoct as much displeased by the incident as arc the English." EXCHANGED FOR HOBSON. Service. Kingston, July 7. The exchanges for Hobson and bis crew were Lieut.
