SibOney, July 10. via Playa del Este,
July ll.-Genenl Shafter held a confer
enee with the American generals at the
front today concerning the offer made by
the Spanish commander to surrender San
tisgO If the Spanish garrison was allowed
to march out with sidearms and have 20
miles start without molestation. General
Toral agreed If this was accepted he
would not destroy the ships in the har-
Dor, the ammunition in the forts or build
ings in the city. The majority Of the
generals, General Wheeler leading, were
in favor of acceptance of these terms, on
the ground that the Spaniards can march
out to the westward anyhow, and burn
the city and destroy all vessels, guns and
ammunition before leaving.
