MILES WILL COMMAND.
Campaign in Porto Rico Will be
Short and Decisive.

WASHINGTON, July 16-It is said
that General Miles himself will COM
mand the Porto Rico expedition, aided
by General Brooke. The latter will
probably make all the ARRANGEMENTS
necessary al Washington and at Chick
amauga, as it is not the present inten-
tion of General Miles to return to
Washington before leaving for Porto
Rico, though of course there is al
ways the possibility that he will be
summoned here by the President for
the purpose of consultation. 1t is ex-
pected that the campaign in Porto Rico
will be short and decisive The troops
will be landed at a point near San Juan
with an ample supply of field artillery,
and will force their way into the rear
of the town, while the feet will dash
into the harbor and make their attack
in front. Discouraged as the Spauiards
are by the surrender of Santiago, it is
not expected that they will offer pro-
tracted resistance.
1t may be that after General Brooke's
soldiers leave Chickamauga Park their
places will be taken by some of the
troops now lying at Tampa. The condi-
tions at the latter place are not sat
isfactOry from sanitary point of
view, and the troops, if not removed
from Chickamauga, will probably go
from Tampa to Charleston.

AT GENERAL WHEELER'S HEAD
QUARTERS BEFORE SANTIAGO DE
CUBA, July 15 10 a. IN. (via Kingston,
Jamaica, July 16, 7:25 a. m.)-The pre-
liminary basis of the capitulation of the
Spanish forces in Eastern Cuba was
agreed to and signed under a pictur-
esque cieba tree half way between the
lines, shortly after midnight. Our Com
missioners were invited to enter the
city by those representing General To-
raj, but the invitation was declined and
the conference was held under the
spreading cieba, just such a tree as
that under which Columbus assisted at
the celebration Of mass on his first
landing in Cuba near Havana At the
very outset hitch occurred owing to
misunderstanding of what was said at
the personal interview between General
Shafter and General Toral at noon. At
that time our interpreter, translating
the language of General Toral had

SPANIARDS STILL HAGGLTNG.
Claim No Surrender and Terms
Must he Ratified at Madrid.

BEFORE SANTIAGO DE CUBA,
Friday (via Kingston, Jamaica), July
16.-(S a. m.)-The Spaniards this
morning are still haggling over the
terms of the capitulation. They now
claim that there has been no surrender
aud allege that the work OF the Com
missioners is entirely preliminary and
must be ratified by the Government at
Madrid in order to be effective. This
is clearly bad faith, and not in accord
ance with General TOral's representa-
tion to General Shafter that Captain
General Blanco had authorized the full
surrender of his forces.
The Commissioners, in the meantime
have concluded the arrangements of
the terms covering the evacuation en-
tirely in the Province Of Santiago. They
have been signed by both sides and
now await the approval of Madrid. In
the meanwhile the two armies remain
in the trenches.
General Shafter said this morning
referring to the situation:
'The Spaniards claimed that surren-
der must be confirmed by Madrid
refused to consider any such conten-
ton, for the surrender was complete
and ordered by Governor General
Blanco, and was made by General To-
raj. This morning General Linares
sent me letter begging that the Span
ish soldiers be permitted to take their
side arms back to Spain. He asked me
to intercede with the President. and
if possible, arrange for return of the
arms to the prisoners after they had
surrendered them

articles We're again gone over in detail.
Various changes of verbiage, which
tended only to soften the sound of the
terms without affecting the sense were
proposed by the Spanish and our Com
missioners accepted practically all of
them.
Shortly after midnight General
Wheeler suggested that the good faith
of the Spaniards be tested All the
articles We're re-read and each Com
missioner in turn was asked if they
were satisfactory. When they replied
in the affirmative General Wheeler ask
ed them to afiiX their signatures. This
they appeared reluctant to do, but
could not we'll refuse. When all had
signed the Commissioners departed to
meet again at $50 in the morning
The principal municipal authorities
are to continue in control of the city un-
til the Spanish troops are embarked.
The Spanish troops from other parts
are to be embarked at the nearest ports.
Refugees are to return to their
homes, but not until the sanction of
Madrid is received and the same ap-
plies to the removal of the obstructions
at the mouth of the harbor.
Pending this, however, Miss Clara
Barton and the Red Cross agents. with
supplies are to be allowed to enter the
city over the line Of the Juragua Rail-
road.
The water main. which was cut, is
to be repaired to-day.
No Cubans are TO be allowed to enter
the city. All the artillery and the bat
teries at the entrance of the harbor are
ha lAf+ t,,fA b,
possession OF the gunboat in the har-
Dor.
Pending the sanction of Madrid ev-
erything is at a standstill, and as
result the troops on both sides are in
the trenches. While there is only a
remote chance of the Government at
Madrid upsetting everything at the last
moment, such an event is still recogniz-
ed as possibility. However, our plans
are being prepared as though the cam
paign were over. General Skaters
headquarters will be moved, probably
to-day TO the high ground north Of the
city, where the whole Of our army will
be encamped after Santiago is evacu-
ated pending the possibility of its en-
barkatiOn for the Island of Porto Rico.
The troops which We're landed at Si-
DOney, DUJ WnlCn were not DfOuSnI UP,
are to be sent back on board the trans
ports Immediately. Which American
troops will remain as garrison and
the number has not been decided on.
There is some talk of garrisoning San
tiago with several regiments from the
Southern States, which are understood
to be at sea at present
The condition of the city Of Santiago

CHICKAMAUGA CAMP.
Secretary Alger and Gen. Brooke
Discuss It's Sanitary Condition.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Secretary
Alger and General Brooke We're in con-
ference for about an hour to-day in
the Secretary's private office. When
the conference closed, General Brooke
excused himself from all interviewers.
He left the building in company with
several swarthy-faced gentlemen. sup
posed to be Porto Ricans, who carried
many large rolls, maps. etc
The principal topic of discussion be-
tween Secretary Alger and General
Brooke at their meeting to-day was the
sanitary condition of the camp at
Chickamauga. General Brooke stated
that there We're eighty cases of typhoid
fever in the camp when he left. This
is not regarded by military surgeons as
an exceptional number, as there are s.
600 soldiers in the camp. mostly green
men General Brooke was firmly of the
opinion that the conditions We're not
so as TO require any change in the camp
and believed that conditions at Chick
amauga would improve rather than de-

Wheeler distinctly to understand that
Captain General Blanco had consented
that the Commissioners should have
plenary power to negotiate the terms of
surrender. such terms as they agreed
upon to be binding upon both parties.
Something was said about a notification
to the Madrid Government, but General
Shafter insisted that the captulation
had been actually agreed to, and that
no further consent of the Madrid Gov
ernment was required.
When the Commissioners met shortly
after o'clock in the afternoon those in
behalf of General Toral General Esca-
rio, Lieutenant Colonel Fortan and Rob
ert Mason, the British Vice ConsuD
combatted at once the idea that capitu-
lation had actually taken place. The
consent Of Madrid, they insisted, was
still necessary, but at the same time
they claimed strongly that it would be
forthcoming, as Captain General Blanco
had advised it and the home Govern
ment would do the same thing. Gen
eral Toral, who was present, and who,
in fact, directed the negotiations on
his own behalf, said he had never been
overruled by the Captain General Still,
he added, until Madrid had sanctioned
it Santiago had not capitulated-
All this was extremely unsatisfactory
to our Commissioners who clung tenac-
iously to the understanding General
Shafter had received earlier in the day.
Finally with the question of whether
or not the Spanish forces had actually
surrendered still open, the Commission
ers proceeded to the consideration of
the preliminares.
Captain Miley had drawn up thirteen
articles of a general nature and these
We're submitted to General Toral per-
sonally. He made a strong appeal that
the word "capitulation'' be used instead
of the harsher term surrender" and
that his army be allowed to march out,
the officers with their side arms and
the men with their small arms. He
said the arms could afterwards be sent
to Spain either on the ships with the
troops or on other ships. General To-
raj further remarked he expected our
commanders, as representatives Of a
braVa and chivalrous people would not
seek to humiliate his army or make it
appear that he was vanquished. AS
brave men his soldiers desired to &c
home with honor. They had simply
yielded to superior force and they would
prefer dying to going home without
their honor.
Our Commissioners could not resist
this appeal, but they said it lay beyond
the terms laid down by our Govern
ment and they could only recommend
them to Washington.
At 4 o'clock General Toral returned
to the city to consult with General Ii
mares General Toral and the Spanish
Commissioners returned at 6:30 o'clock
saying they desired a still further
change in. the phraseology of the arti-
cles and suggested a postponement un-
til morning This General Wheeler
firmly declined. Thereupon a recess
was taken until $50. The Commits
sioners returned at that hour and the

WILL NOT BE RETURNED.
The United States VIII Keep the
Arms Surrendered at Santiago.

WASHINGTON, July 16-The arms
surrendered by the Spaniards at San
tiago TO General Shafter will be l-npt
by the United States Government. This
conclusion reached late this afternoon
by the President and Secretary Alger
was made public by the latter as he
left his office at 6 o'clock tonight for
his home
''All those who have arms will turn
them over to this Government. This is
final"
These We're the Secretarys words
when asked for information.
And" he added, in response to furth-
er inquiry and to clear any doubt that
might exist on the subject, the rifles
will nCt be returned to Spain"
This decision, no doubt, already has
been communicated to General Shafter.
Up to the time when Secretary Ayers
emphatic statement disposed Of all
doubt on the matter. it was thought in
some quarters that consideration might
be given TO the appeal made by General
Toral in behalf Of his men that they be
allowed to keep their arms. In fact,
Ii was said by a high department Off
cial that the President would await the
recommendation Of the United States
Commissioners to the surrender on the
subject before dispOsing of the ques-
tion, especially as General Shafter had
telegraphed the department that it was
understood the United States Commits
sion would recommend that the Span
ish soldiers return to Spain with the
arms they so bravely defended. This
decision Of the President applies alike
to those Spanish soldiers Who have not
been engaged with the United States
troops, as we'll as to those who have
been participants in the recent battles.

THROUGH SPANISH EYES.
Versions of Events That Have Hap
pened Recently in Cuba.

copyrighted 1898, by Associated Press
HAVANA, July 10 delayed in trans
missiom.-The following are Spanish
versions of events which have recently
transpired in Cuba:
On Tuesday, July 18th, the Americans
continued the attack on Santiago de
Cuba all day, but with less activity
than the day before, owing to the heavy
rain falling about the neighborhood
which flooded some of the trenches. But
the weather did not prevent the brave
Spanish soldiers from remaining in
their positions, full of animation and
resolution.
1t is reported that $4,000 additional
troops under General Coppinger recent
ly landed in the province Of Santiago
de Cuba. They came on twenty two
transatlantic steamers, which Were late
ly seen before Baiquiri.
Before Santiago at the time there
were eight battleships and twenty-four
auxiliary cargo ships; in front of Ha-
vana. there were eight warships; before
Cardenas, two warships did blockade
duty and there We're two men-o -of-war
before Cienfuegos. A sailing vessel with

four of them The wounded men were
taken to Batabano.
Official reports received from Santi-
ago de Cuba on July 18th, say the same
state of affairs prevailed then as on the
day previous 1t was reported that
heavy reinforcements of Americans, un-
der General Miles, We're landed lately
and have been pushed to the front,
which is saidt have increased in ac-
tivity Of the besiegers and to have rem
dered the task of the garrison more diff
ficult
But the report continues, this has
only shown up in better light the ad-
mirable conduct of the brave Spanish
soldiers, who, in spite of the heavy
rains and the fact that they are in
water up to their waists, are willing to
defend their positions to the very last.
During the night of July 18th the
insurgents attacked Virtudes, village
of the province Of Pinar Del Rio. They
