This means that Spain surrenders
on the terms dictated by the United
States. The troops embraced in the
surrender are estimated to be about
$4,000. The one condition granted
is that they shall BE- sent back to
Spain.
There is great rejoicing at the
White House and at the War and
Navy Departments The end Of the
long siege, so trying 10 the American
troops and so fatal to many of them,
is now at an end, and the President
and all the Government officials
under him feel relieved from a great
burden. The victory is complete,
and it has been gained without the
loss of single vessel of the Ameri
can navy. When the news came,
about 2 o'clock, Gen. Corbin hasten
ed with it to the White House,
where he was soon joined by Score
tary Alger. After quickly bat care
fully considering the contents Of the
dispatch, it was decided to make it
public at once.
The country embraced within the
lines includes the tip of the eastern
end OF Cuba, extending to Sagua de
Lanama on the north, rs miles from
Cape Maysi, aud to Aserraderos, $50
miles on the south coast from Cape
Maysi. The line across the island
extends from Aserraderos north 25
miles; thence north of east IS miles
to Sagua. This includes Baracoa,
Guantanamo and the country around
Santiago, including in all about one
third of Santiago Province, but
Manzanillo, Holguin and Bayamo
are left entirely in Spanish territory.
The final acceptance of the sur
render of Santiago is deferred until
its exact terms are known.

Rain of Shells From the Fleet.

Playa del Este, Guantanamo
July 13.-Some idea of the awful
rain of shells poured into the doom
ed Spanish squadron on the morn
ing of July Sd by the pursuing
American warship may be gained
from the number of shots fred
from the battleship Oregon. This
number bears out the statement of
the Spanish officers that it was tie
fire from the secondary batteries
that drove their nen from their
guns and forced the ships to beach.
From the time when private O'Shay

Lock Of Hair Brought $42.

\ curious relic fell under the auction-
etr's hammer at the London auction
rooms day or two ago. 1t was lock
of royal hair. and It was valued by its
purchaser at $42. The lock of hair in
question belonged to Edward w. and Is
over four hundred years old. It has only
been treasured up for some one hundred
and nine years. The circumstances under
which 1t was obtained are explained In a
copy of the Universal Magazine" dated
April. 1889.
The hair was found accidentally at
Windsor by some workmen. and the ar
ticle dealing with the subject says that
''the workmen employed in St. Georges
Chapel at Windsor in new paving the
choir discovered on March IL "a decay in
the stone which closed up the entrance
into the vault where Edward w had been
deposited. Two of the canons and the
surveyor entered tho vault and viewed
the royal body enclosed in wooden and
leaden coffin. 1t was reduced to a skel-
eton. which measured 6 feet inches. the
skull reclining to the north or left side
with quantity of long brown hair which
had fallen off 1t, but no traces of envelope
or cere cloth nor any rings or other in

tanned the skeleton of woman. who
from the marks of age about the skull
was supposed 20 be that of his Queen.
Lady Eliza beth Grey, who died three
years after him in confinement at Ber-
mondsey Abbey. and was probably buried
with less pomp."
The lock sold the other day was then
obtained by one of the canOns. in whose
family 1t has remained ever since.

SPANISH WAR DOCS.
They Wore Armor and Were More FEARED
Than Soldiers By indians.

Aperreado is a Spanish word which in
the days when Spain was busy with the
conquest Of the West Indies and Central
America struck cold terror to the hearts
Eof the Indians. The word means ''given
to the dogs" or to translate 1t yet more
distinctly, it means death by blood
hounds.
In Spain magnificent specimens Of this
canine race have always been bred, and
when Columbus set out on his first voy-
age a few fine hounds constituted part
Of his fighting equipment. Not knowing
with what enemies he might have to con-
tend, he took the hounds along to aid his
men. But Columbus was, one Of the few
invaders coming from Spain who treated
the Indians humanely, and not until after
he had gone back to Europe, broken and
disgraced, were the hounds used to tor
ture the poor savages.
On all the dogs as well as the horses
the Spaniards brought over with them the
Indians looked with fear and reverence.
The West Indian savages had not only
never seen animals 80 large, but the fact
that both dogs and horses performed
tasks and obeyed masters filled the ma
ttves with respectful amazement.
Their interest in these new brutes was
soon, however, turned to dismay when
the horses iron shod llOofs struck down
women and children and the dogs were
employed in battle. 30 ferOciOus and eff
fective were these canine warriors as
Taught by their Christian masters that In
Cuba one dog was more feared than q
hundred armed men.
When Cortes took his famous first ex-
petition into Mexico, a fine pack OF
bloodhounds was among his most highly
valued fighters. Pizarro also took hounds
into Peru. but on the continent the ma
tive warriors wore sort OF armor made
of padded cotton cloth. Through this the
dogs could not set their teeth, but they
could spring easily as high us warrior
throat run in among the men and by
butting vigorously cause them to fall. or.
more horrible still, they were encouraged
to prowl over the battlefields and tear TO
