most of them affected june tion with troops from Holguin and cut thelr way through Ga,cia's line into Santiago.
 These troops amounted to about 4,00O, leaving in the Hol- guin district about $500 men, 5000 of whom, however, have. 1t is feared, gone to Porto Rico with Genera Bernal. In the Manzanillo oistrlct there were about 12,O0o troops. These are still there.
 Major General Shafter'S brief dispatch and the dispatch from General Miles are not en- tirely satisfactory to the War Department officials, for the reason that they give no de- tails except that all the east ern part of Cuba had been sur rendered and that the Spanish troops were to be returned to Spain.
 This IS interpreted to mean that all the Spanish troops within the limits named have laid down their arms and have been surrendered. The sur render, of course, carries with 1t the turning over to General Shafter ot all the Notifications. guns, and other munitions Of war of all kinds, as we'll as any gunboats or other vessels in any of the waters within the limits named by General Shafter.
 It necessar i'm pile q that the authority of all Span ish officials, civil as we'll as military, in the surrendered territory ceases and that all functions of government are to be exercised under the direc of the commanding officer ot the American military forces

One On Gen. Wheeler.

Siboney, Jnlv 13.-By the Dispatch Boat Simpson, to Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 14. -To the splendid generalship of General Jo Wheeler as much as any other cause is due the repeated successes of the Amer ican forces around Santiago. To see this white haired veter an of the War of the Rebellion, astride his horse, leading the regiments under hls command, made mp almost entirely of Northern men, is a sight to stir the heart of every American who remembers that there was once a Mason and Dixon line in the United States.
 The camp here is ringing with praise of Wheeler, and at the same time good story of his words during a desperate charge last week is going the rounds. As he was leading the Seventy fist New York, the Roosevelt Rough Riders and a strong f orce of regulars up a hlgh hill at San Juan. s:ormlng a large body of Spaniards, who were strongly irtrenched, the attacking line began to waver under fierce fire from Gatllng guns and strong field pieces.
 '" ""heeler saw his men waver and began shouting at the top ot his voice, while the guns were roaring and the small arms rattling:
 "Steady, boys. Come on now, the Yankees are glvlng way, look There they go. The Yankees are leaving their cuns.n and suddenly catching himself he cried out even nor vigorously:
 "Damn 1t! 1 mean the Span ia:ds are running. Go for 'em, boys 7"
 Despite the hail of Mauser and Springfield bullets, the rain of shrapnel and Gatling fire, the soldiers laughed at their old Generals absent minded memory of other days. But they did "go for 'em.' In stantly the wavering line took on new confidence, the gaps closed, and in 20 minutes San Juan was ours.
 General Wheeler, for a man of his years, has shown won derful powers in the field No young officer in his command can stand longer or harder fighting than he, and certainly none are braver or more fear less.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, June 23, '98. DEAR FATHER: This morning at , o'clock we pulled into the Harb0r and called for the pilot 10 come and bring us in to the wharf. We boys were all on deck and 1t looked good to see land again. By the time we got anchored to the wharf the whole city had turned out to see us and in q little while they were throwing bananas, pineapplts, etc, it us. As we pulled np to the wharf the Honolulu band met Us and played all our national airs and continued to furnish us mnsic while we went ahead with our breakfast as If nOth- ing out of the ordinary was happenings At9 o'clock we marched out in our blue shirts and pants and marched two miles to the beach and all took a swim. We enjoyed 1t ever so much, and after marching back we were marched to the city park and treated to a fine dinner. The people h ad bnilt a regular picnic ground and had tables and seats and dish. es and grub enough for our whole regiment. We were all seated at one time and while we were eating cigars were brought to each of Us So we got a good smoke also. They gave us fine dinner and lots of fruit and good coffee and We each had bottle of soda water and was treated royal. The American flag along with the Hawaiia flag was seen every where. Everything was thrown open to the boys in blue and the peorle of Homo lulu seemed 10 thlnk as much of us ls lhe Americans there. At , o'clock we were marched back to the ship and put on our blue coats and came out on dress parade and marched all through the city with our guns, etc. No country is allowed 10 land an armed force itI another country unless they are trying to capture 1t, but President Dole allowed us to land and was glad to see our army out on dress parade. 1 suppose by this time the Islands are annexed to the U. S., at least I hope so.

that an assault upon the city would be necessary in the end.
 The first official announce ment was received about 2:3O o'clock in the brief dispatch from General Shafter. The President was the first to be made acquainted with it's con tents. He was at the time hav- ing luncheon with Mrs. Nc klnley, to whom he read the dispatch aloud and immediate ly sent for Secretary Alger and Assistant Secretary Corbin.
 There was not much to be at this end of the line as to the details of the surrender. "This Is a matter,' General Corbin said after leaving the President, "to be arranged by General Shafter, or rather by the com mlssloners appointed under the terms already agreed up on.'
 "Now that the main question of the surrender has been set ted" General Corbin contin ued, 'the only thing necessary to be done is to agree up Jn cer- tain necessary details as to where the Spanish troops should surrender, whether in town or whether they should be marched out on the plains and there lay down their arms.
 "l assume that all this will De arranged and that General Shafter, in accordance with the dispatch just sent, will send full particulars some time to night
 Among other points to be settled before General Shafter occupies the city are those re lating 10 the destruction or re- moval of mines and other dan gerous obstacles in the port, the garlisoning of the city, the disposition of the surrendered army, etc
 All these questions involve deliberation, and some time may elapse before General Shafter Is able to report fully upon the conclusions reached by the commissioners.
 Now that Santiago has fallen, the control of the territory sur rendered comes prominently to the front and involves to some extent the question of the recognition of the independ- ence of the Cubans.
 Mem bers of the Cuban Jnnta are talking Eere to night about making the official residence of the Cuban Republic at Santl ago. They are a little prema ture, however, in thus reckon ing.
 1t is not tue intention of the administration to place the Cubans in control at this stage. Secretary Alger said that the control of tue surrendered ter ritorv would be in the hands of the military and naval forces of the United States, and that military law would prevail un- til the Spaniards have finally evacuated Cuba and a stable form of government has been set up.
 That portion of Cuba sur rendered 10 General Shafter Fy General Toral comprises the territory at the extreme eastern end of the island east of a line running northeastely from Aselradero; on the southern coast, a little west or Santiago, to Sagua de Tanamo, on the northern coast and almost due north from Santiago. This ter ritory comprises these three districts: Santiago, Guantana- mo and Baracoa. The western districts of Manzanillo and Holguin, with it's harbor of Gibara, were not surrendered
 It is not thought that there are any spanish troops witbln the surrendered territory be sides the 12,000 to 15.000 sur rendered by General Tolal. Three thousand Spanish troops

 We left San Francisco at 12 o'clock Wednesday, June 18th, and oh. what send off We got when we left. Several large steamers, each with nearly a thousand people on board and small tugs and private sail boats all around us accompan jed us out of the Golden Gate HarbOr. As we started to move through the bay all the steamship whistles and every other whistle Were pulled wide open and oh, what a noise, Each of the boats that came to see us off had a band on board and one would be playing Star Spang ed Banner" an other Dixie" and another America" and still another would be playing "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" at the same time the people on the boats would be cheering and waving ! handkerchiefs and our $500 boys in blue would respond with wells that would have been heard for miles had there not been SO much nolse. Mama, 1t can t very we'll be described but as there were 1 thousands of people and a dozen or more bands and all the steam whistles agoing we received an impression that will last always. Our steamer is the largest and fastest and is the Flag Shll of this eXpedi tion and we have Gen. Green and head push" with us. This morning at 10 o'clock we signaled good bye to the other three ships and we pulled out and left chem to come on. w C will get to Honolulu and be all coaled up before they reach there. To- day about l o'clock We met an American steamer. It looked nice to see the flag away out here where all we can see is water and 1t is not clear spring water either but blue and extra blue, too. Lots of our boys have been sea-sick hut not as many as on the other ships. They were small and would rock more and that causes sea sickness. We get along fine on board. We have hot meals three times a day ard good hunks with mat tress and pillow so you know we are comfortable. To day we got into the tropics. Every breeze Is warmer now. w { will get to Honolulu in two Cl three more days. won't gel to mail this until we get tc M Honolulu unless we pass . mail ship.

 SANTIAGO IS OURS,
Gen. ToroI Surrenders According to Our Terms
 and His Troops Will Be Sent Homo

the surrender of Santiago add ed to our marvellous victories on the sea, resulting Tn the an initiation of practically two thirds of Spain's navy, ali Washington Is feeling we'll sat islied tonight with the progress of the war.
 Indeed more than this may be said. The President and most of his official advisers re gard the fall of Santiago as a climax to a series of Spanish defeats, which will bring about an early peace.
 The story of the surrender of Santiago is thus told in the official dispatches received in Washington today:
 This dispatch was given out just after , o'clock:
 Playa del Este, July l4- To Adiutant General, Wash ington: Have just returned from interview with General Tolal. He agrees 10 surrender upon the basis of being return ed to Spain.
 This proposition embraces all of Eastern Cuba from Aser- radaro on the south to Sagua on the north, via Palma. with practically the Fourth Army Corps. Commissioners meet this evening at 2::3O to definite lv arrange the terms.
 w. k SKATER,
 "Major General This dispatch was received at 1 o'clock this evening:
 Playa del Este, July 1 LILY To Secretary of War, Wash ington: Before Santiago, July 14.-General Toral formally surrendered the troops of his army and division of Santiago on the terms and understand ing that his troops would be returned to Spain
 "Genelal Shafter will ap- point commissioners 10 draw up the conditions of arrange ments for carrying out the terms of surrender. This Is very gratifying, as General Shafter and the officers and men of his command are en- titled to great credit tor thei: sincerity and fortitude in over coming almost insuperab,e ob- stacles which they encountered
 "A portion of the army has been infected with yellow fever and efforts will be made to separate those who are infected and those free from 1t and keep those who are still on board ship separated from those on shore.
 Arrangements will be i'm mediately made for carrying out further instructions of the President and yourself.
 "NELsoN A. MILES, Major General of the Army"
 Although the Spanish troops under General Toral are 10 be sent back to Spain, they are to go as prisoners of war, and in this light the authorities con slider that the surrender Is to all intents and purposes uncon- ditlonal and in every sense a complete victory for the Ameri can troops.
 That it has been accomplish ed without additional blood shed is a matter of intense sat isfaction 10 the President
 Determined as he was that the city must be assaulted land and sea until the enemy had been forced surrender, the President today expressed his deep pleasure on the happy outcome which averted the necessity of carrying out the instructions to bom bard, which would have undoubtedly have involved serious loss of life among our own forces, as well as with the enemy.
 Until word was received that tho surrender had actually taken place there was greal deal of uneaSinesS and concern
