The question has been raised as to
whether We ought to have received the
surrender Of Torsl without agreeing to
send his troops to Spain. Undoubtedly
the terms are liberal. since we had sana.

Assuming the possibility OF capturing
every man IN Santiago garrson.we should

definitely. II had become clear that the
spaniards never would capture enough Of
our troops 90 make the question Of ex-
change worth considering. Hence the
whole force would be on our hands to
feed, and merely to guard them would re-
move many Of our own troops from other
service. Our whole original object in the
Santiago campaign was TO capture or des-
troy cervera's fleet. and that was accom-
plished. But having carried Skaters
forces there for that purpose We found a
second thing deslrable-to remove the
Spanish garrison as factor in the war.
Since this could be done exactly as well
by sending the troops to Spain as by cap
turing and holding them. we urged the ne
gotations which have resulted in tri-
umph. Certainly American prestige in the
eyes Of the world has lost nothing by
granting liberal terms to Toral

are not permitted TO loot and plunder
Santiago as they sacked Baiquiri, siboney

They challenge the right Of the Ameri-

participation in the government Of the
