General Miles a Il to-day to a CORE
%spondent of the associated press: II am
gratified over the surrender of San
tiago. The terms are just as good as
an unconditional surrender. The Span
ish troops would eventually have to be
sent to Spain. By sending them at
once we feed them and keep them for
only a month or so, instead of perhaps
a year. IL would be hare work to keep
them in Cuba, where, IL must be re-
membered. they would be a constant
agency for the spread Of yellow fever.
In Spain they will have no chance to
break their oaths nor to fight against
us. They will never get back to Cuba,
that is certain"
Asked as to the yellow fever among
the American troops, General Miles said:
The doctors report 237 cases to-day. OF
course IL is a serious matter, but / hop
by camping on the hills to stamp il out,
as II is only a mild form of the fever
and only a few deaths have yet oc-
CURED. Our troops feel splendidly. The
entire campaign was a complete sue
cess"
Rear Admiral Sampson said to the
correspondents: Il am delighted at
the successful termination of the cam
paign. The question of transporting
the Spanish troops to Spain VIII un-
doubtedly be settled by the Washing
ton authorities without delay. If the
troops go on the transports now off

Tool of Him.
Chicago, Jan. 12.-TestimOny has been

Frank uangel, a sign painter. one of the
two new witnesses discovered by the police
too late for the former trial. told the jury
that Luetgert practically Informed him sew

"A bright man like you ought to have
better job than that" The defendant is al
legged to have said: "HOw would you like to
have nice little job that would make you

CHRIS MERRy's DEFENSE.
1t Will He Set Up That He IL . De.
generate and Controlled
by Spirits.

Chicago. Jan. 12.-The defense of Chris
Merry. now on trial for the murder of his
wife. is to be novel one. 1t is to be urged
by his attorneys that Merry, being under
control of spirits. was not responsible for
his actions If he did commit the crime of
which he is accused.
The alleged wife slayer is said to have
assured his friends that he is in constant
communion with the spirit of his wife, and
that she does not reproach him. Spirit
ualistic mediums are to be called to teS-
tify in the case, it is said. although his at
torney denies 1t.
An effort will be made to show that
Merry is a degenerate. Experts on So
ciOlogy, criminology and the lines of hered-
ity will be called. This indicates that the
defense will admit Merry killed his wife.
Since his arrival in Chicago. the alleged
wife murderer has denied his guilt.
