THE FALL OF THE CITY.
First News Describing the Surrender

Washington, July 1.-The adju- tant-general has received the follow ing from Pelaya del Este:
 "Adjutant- General, Washington:
 Have just returned from an inter view with General Toral. He agrees to surrender on the basis of being returned to Spain. This proposition includes all of eastern Cuba from Ace raderos on the south to Sagua on the north via Palma, with practically the fourth army corps.

 "Major-General."
 Adiutant-Genera1 Corbin announced that Santiago had surrendered. Soon after General Shutters dispatch a telegram was shown that the Span iards had agreed to our terms Only the details now remain to be adjusted Adjutant-Genera1 Corbin announced soon after o'clock that the terms oi the surrender were not quite fully un- derstood and would not be fully ac- cepted until further report has been received from Shafter giving all de tails.

SPANISH SCANDALS.
Rivera's Rascality While Governor of
 the Philippines.

Paris, July 14.-A sensational state ment has been made by Fl Heraldo, of Madrid. Dhis paper states that for nal charges of wholesale robbery of government money and complicity in the insurrection have been made against Gen. Fernando Primo de Ri- vera, formerly captain general of the Philippines. The charges also allege that Primo de Rivera, in addition to appropriating public money to his own use, made large sums by selling decorations and titles of nobility to wealthy residents of Manila. Primo de Rivera was recently given direction of the work of recruiting soldiers for use in the war in Cuba, and before he had completed that task the enormous amounts of his expenditures bad been made the subject of public comment

province of Santiago and all the Span -sh garrisons included within it's linn .ts. A telegram has been sent Shafter requesting details of the surrender and final action is deferred until the receipt of the answer.
 The Spanish forces involved in the equalization of Santiago will not be taken back to Spain in American ves- sells unless an official pledge for the safety of our craft and crews is given. Secretary AIger said he doubted if Spain wanted the prisoners brought back there and said if transported in our own vessels and with some agree ment with Spanish representatives, Spain would refrain from seizing our vessels. It is knotty problem which will be solved by the commissioners arranging the equalization under the direction of the authorities here.
 The war department has notified Shafter that his plans are approved so far as known and result in or ders including the shipment of the Spanish troops back to Spain. A statement that the proposition en- braces all eastern Cuba from Acerra- dores to Sagua is important in that it shows that the surrender embraces all the harbors and contiguous territory to Santiago. It does not include HoI- guin and Manzanillo, where the Span- iards are reported to have consider able bodies of soldiers, as these places are west of the surrendered zone.
