their arms 10 their American conqucrors
ara the sovereignty of Spain in Eastern
Cuba viii end.
Official endorsements of the terms of ca
pituiation were received from Madrid al
10 clock this morning, and, unless unfore-
seen obstacles arise, the actual withdraw
al of Gen. Torars forces win be an accom-
plshed fact within twenty -four hours. Nine
O'Clock tomorrow is the hour set for the
formal ending OF the Santiago campaign.

stack their guns bef6ie the American lines
and be placed under guard, either to return
to Spain under convoy, or to give their
oaths to remain in Cuba as non-eombat-
ants
In the meantime several detachments of
Gen. Skaters command will be sent to
take possession of the fallen city, and
there hoist the Stars and Stripes where the
nag of Spain has fioated for centuries.
All the enemys troops in the Eastern
district of Santiago province will be
marched to Santiago, many detachments
from outlying points already being en-
route, and the entire force of 1850 men,
1t is expected, will be ready to embark
within a fortnight.
What win be done with Gen. Skaters
force is not yet fully decided. The ply
sicians declare that the army, owing to
the hardships and fever, will not be fit for
active duty for some lime 10 come, as
Gen. Miles is believed to be seriously con-
sidering the proposition to leave only i'm
mune regiments to hold the conquered
province and return the body of the corps
to the United States and sending other
immunes from there to reinforce the San
tiago detachment IL necessary.
Many of the troops are eager to partlci-
pate in the Porto Rico campaign, which
it is rumored about headquarters will i'm
mediately follow, but this is strongly OPP
posed by the surgeons.
New cases Of yellow fever continue to
appear daily, and fully 600 are now nn-
der treatment, but the disease is Of
very mild form and the physicians say it
is now well in hand
Only five deaths have occurred up 10 to-
night, the low mortality being remarka-
BILE and most encouraging TO DR.. Guiteras
and the other fever experts, who had
grave fears when The disease first APP
peared that the death rate would be very
heavy.
Gen. Miles, in an Interview to-day with
Of the Associated Press, said.
he believed the danger from the pest was
over and that the men do not seem to
fear IL in the least, owing to the mlldness
of most of the cases.
The formal sanction Of the Madrid gov
eminent of the terms of captu3aton to-
day unraveIled the tangled skein of the
demands, and counter-demands between
the opposing commanders which threat
ened yesterday 10 end the negotiations and
compel n return 70 arms.
After numerous conferences had result
ed in the agreement, already sanctioned by
Gen. Blanco Gen. Toral decided that the
approval Of the Madrid government Gas
necessary before he could leave the city.
Gen. Shafter ma ntained that no such
approval was necessary that when Cen
Toral agreed 70 surreuder the province Of
Santiago, and Gen. Blanco sanctioned IT,
the agreement of surrender became an ac-
comphshed fact He insisted that Gen. To-
raj had either surrendered Thursday or
acted in bad faith, but documentary evil
dence bore out the fact that Gen Toral
mentioned that he only capltulated subject
to his governments approval and the six
by whom the articles were
signed at 2;10 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
so ruled. The whole matter was cleared
up this morning, however, when Gen To-
raj received the necessary sanction from
Madrid.
The agreement consists of nine articles.
The first declares that all hostllities shall !
,ease vending the agreement of final capil- |
nation
Second That the capitulation includes ali |
nc Spanish forces and the surrender Of all |
war material within The prescribed Limits
