YELLOW FEVER At SANTIAGO
TWENTY-THREE NEW CASES
AND THREE DEATHS.
Detachment of Immunes Will Take
Charge of the Hospital-Disease
Is of Mild Type.

Washington, July 15.-The war de-
partment has posted a dispatch from
Assistant Adiutant General Greenleaf,
of General Miles staff. as follows:
"Siboney, July 15.-Only % new cases
of yellow fever and three deaths re-
ported within the past "A hours. Type
of disease mild. Camp site moved
whenever practicable. Have taken
vigorous sanitary precautions to pre-
vent the spread of the disease"
Camp Alger, Va, July 15.-Major
Thomas O. Somers and % men of the
Second Tennessee regiment have left
Camp Alger. en- route to Cuba, to take
charge of the hospital for yellow fever
patients at Santiago. Major Somers is
an expert in the matter OF yellow fever
and malarial fevers. He treated AID
saved 1880 patients during the cpl
demic Of 1S7s-79
The 25 men who so with him are
yellow fever immunes, and will be
transferred to the regular army hos
pital service. Major Somers will sail
from New York on the st. Paul. and
is expected to reach Santiago on Tues
day.
The colonies of regiments in Camp
Alger. it is said. have received informa-
ton from the war departn ent that the
army of invasion of Porto Rico will be
largely drawn from the Second army
corps. They have directed their sub
oroinates to be prepared to leave at
any moment.

Washington, July 15-After an ex-
tcnde5 conference with the president
tonight. at which three other member:
of the cabinet were present, Secretary
Alger said:
THE situation is just this: 1.-THE
Sraniards at Santiago are prepared tC
surrender. but they want to carry theil
arms We have determined to grant
nc such concession. nor any concession
except the guaranty of this government
TO transport them to Spain"
Secretary Alger was asked if il was
not the expectation that when it was
known that no other terms would be
granted, the surrender would take
place, and replied that such was The
case. In any event, no other concession
would be afforded by this government
1t was nearly 1 o'clock when the con-
ference at the White House adjourned.
Besides Secretary Alger there were
present Secretaries Bliss and Wilson,
and Postmaster General Emory Smith.
Adjutant General Corbin was present
during the last hour of the conference.
Secretary Alger did not say how
much time would be allowed the enemy
20 reach q. conclusion, but it is known
that the administration will make it
very short. and submit to no further
The next move is surrender upon the
terms which the United States govern
ment proposes. or immediate attack
upon the Spanish forces by the army
ard navy.
At 1:15 this Saturday morning,
when Adjutant General Corbin left the
war department for his home, he was
yet without definite information from
General Shafter concerning the sur
render of Santiago.
IL accordance with the decision ar
rived at in the conference with the
president. he issued instructions to
General Shafter that nothing but an
unconditional surrender by General
TCral would be satisfactory to this gov
eminent. In view of Skaters last dis
patch. no fear is felt that the negotia-
items for the surrender of the forces in
Santiago City will not be prosecuted to
g successful conclusion. General Toral,
1t is known. at first insisted that his
men should be permitted to carry their
arms with them to Spain. This cOnces-
sion General Shafter declined to grant.
Toral has modified his demand regard
ing the arms. and has presented q petit
ton that the arms taken from his men
be returned to Spain with the troops.
AS indicated in Secretary Ayers state
ment above given, the petition has been
denied by this government.
The unusual delay, which has puz-
Zled the " ar officials, IS accounted for
by the difficulty which General Toral is
having in surrendering that part of the
force under his command which is not
in the city of Santiago. General Shat
ter estimates that there are from 1900
TO $1,000 men in Santiago. and nearly
as many more in the province outside
the city. 1t is believed that the delay
in the negotiations is made necessary
in order 10 secure the surrender of the
outlying garrisons. some of which may
question Toral's authority to surrender
them without definite instructions to
that effect from Madrid.

the city of Santiago. This. it is believed.
can be done safely, as the terms of sur
render will doubtless require the Span
ish to indicate the location of the mines
in the harbor. 1t is expected that the
great body of refugees that fled from
the town on the threat of bombardment
will now return. and great distress is
expected to result from the lack of food
supplies.
General Shafter has been allowed to
exercise his full discretion in dealing
with these refugees and while he will
not assume the responsibility for their
maintenance he will. without doubt
spare as many ratiOns as possible from
his own stores to aid these unfortunate
people.

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND.
Number of Men Included In the
Surrender


Washington, July 15.-The following
bulletin was posted at the war depart
ment from General Shafter:
Sent you several kilograms yester-
day, as did General Miles in regard to
the surrender. General Toral agreed
yesterday positively to surrender all the
forces VI der his command in eastern
Cuba. upon a distinct understanding
that they We're to be sent to Spain by
the United States; this surrender was
authorized by General Blanco ard that
its submission tomorrow was merely
formal. The commissioners To arrange
details We're appointed, Wheeler, Law
ton and Mlley on the part of the
United States Points were immedi-
ateiy raised by Spanish commissioners.
The discussion lasted until 10 o'clock
last night. Ny commissioners think
the matter will be settled today and
met at 1890 this morning"
There are about 1900 troops in the
city and about as many more in the
surrounding districts. $4,000 in all will
be transported. General Miles was
present and said the surrender was as
absolute and complete as possible. II
cannot be possible that there win be
failure IN completing arrangements.

RUMORs OF PEACE.
Spain Willing to Cede Cuba and Dis
cuss Other Questions.

spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:

lay, proposing as a basis the renuncia-
ton of all rights over Cuba, and the
Immediate discussion of any other rea-
SCRABBLE proposal the United States may
make Informal negotiations for peace
are continued.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Standard says: The Carlist agitation is
assuming proportions in many of the
| northern provinces. which may serve
( as fresh argument for Intervention on
the part of Germany. The civil and
| military authorities, according to in
structions from ministers of the inter
ior and war. are closely watching the
movements Of Carlist emissaries. Spe--
Cial attention is being given to the

SltimiStS are turning a willing hand.
The authorities are convinced that arms

The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: Despite the official
derials, it is strongly suspected that
preliminary negotiations for peace were
already under way in the shape of in
America which Spain might accept. 1t
is asserted that NJ. CambOn. the French
ambassador at Washington. and Sir
Henry Drummond-WOl the British
ambassador at Madrid, are acting re-

to a newspaper reporter: I cannot
talk on the subject, as any indiscretiOn
might spoil the work and create diff
oulties-"
The queen regent has had three in
terviews with Lieutenant General Cor
rea, minister of war, and has persuad-
ed him to cease his opposition to peace.
Pressing dispatches in the same sense
have been sent to Captain General
B.anco- One of the chief reasons which
has driven the government towards
peace is a fear that the Americans
may get a footing in Porto Rico, thus
establishing a claim to include that
island in their demands for territory.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: The issuance Of
the royal decree suspending the consti-
tutional guarantees and virtually pro-
claiming a state of siege is evidently
intended to check Carlism. The Carl

Private Sheehan Writes a Letter
From Santiago.

st. Louis, July 15.-John Sheehan, Of
the Sixteenth United States infantry,
now at Santiago, has written an in
teresting letter to his parents in this
city. The letter. which was dated
June %. says, in part:
I'VE have caught about Is spies, and
shot them. The Cubans are out in

guns and provisions by The United
States. They are pretty strOng-about

Spanish deserters came over to Us and

Washington, July 15.-There was a
further news from the commissioners
who had been charged to make ar
engagements for the surrender of the
! Spanish army at Santiago. For is
hours no word came from either Cen
eral Shafter or General Miles, although
/ there was the keenest desire on the
part of the president and the cabinet
officers to learn what was to be done.
and whether the actual surrendering of
Santiago and the Spanish troops had
been carried out When the cabinet
met at II o'clock there was nothing
from the front which would serve as a
guide for the deliberations. 1t was
thought that the cable had been inter-
rupted, but inquiry of General Greedy,
chief signal officer, gave assurance that
the cable was intact. Thereupon Sec
rotary Alger sent a dispatch asking for
the situation up to the latest moment
and particularly inquiring as to how
the surrender had proceeded. No an
swer came while the cabinet was in
session.
In the meantime General Greedy had
cabled, and he was the first to hear
from the front A dispatch from Lieu
tenant Jones. military censor at Playa
del Este, reported that the message
from the secretary of war TO General
Shafter was only six minutes in pass
ing from Washington to Playa del
Este. The message received by Cen
eral Greedy came at 2:23 p. m. and in
Dictated that negotiations were still in
progress, but as the dispatch was sub
mitted to the president no details were
given out.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
Toward the middle of the afternoon
dispatches from General Shafter and
General Miles began to arrive. in re-
Spouse to Secretary Ayers dispatch.
They were not given out in full, but
such portions as were made public
showed that the negotiations were still
in progress, and that s'e Spaniards had
raised some rather Unexpected queS-
tons. Most important of these was an
insistance that the Spanish troops
should retain their arms when they re-
turned to Spain. There was entire
willingness on the part of General To-
raj to turn over the arms to General
Shafter at the time of the surrender,
but with this was to be the under
standing that the arms were to be re-
turned to the Spanish troops when
Spanish soil was reached.
InlS was condition which had not
been anticipated. The authorities here
did not regard it as serious, or as likely
to overcome a final settlement as it
was attributed to the Spanish sensi-
tiveness against the humiliation in
volved in The laying down of their
arms. One of these dispatches, after
specifying that this difference had
arisen. added that a settlement would
be reached before the day closed. Gen
eral Shafter himself summed up the
situation by saying: ut cannot be pos
sible that there will be failure in COM
pleting arrangements.
SURRENDER RATIFIED.
No question whatever has been
raised as to the surrender itself Not
only has General Toral agreed to it,
but this agreement has been ratified by
General Blanco at Havana, and by the
Spanish government at Madrid
The assumption is that the commits
sioners are still at work endeavoring
to arrange the details of the surrender /
These are likely to be more complex

GOVERNMENT OF SANTIAGO.
Cubans May Be Given Control OF
Affairs.


Washington, July 15-The political
status of Santiago. its method of gov
eminent and administration, is now re-
ceiving earnest attention from the au-
thorities here. For the present it is
expected the military authorities will
have entire direction of affairs, both at
Santiago City and the outlying coun-
try.
If the precedent of Manila is followed,
in which case General Merritt was sent
as military governor. then a military
affairs at Santiago City and there
abouts. But it is appreciated that the
conditions are quite different at San
tiago from those in Manila, as the gov
eminent has disclosed no purpose to
make territorial acquisition. in Cuba.
and has directed its efforts thus far to
making Cuba free and placing the Gu
bans in control. This cosiditiOn may
lead to a consideration of the expedi-
ency of allowing the Cubanas themselves
to establish an administration of San
tiago, thus giving them an opportunity
to try their ability at directing civil
affairs and also giving them a. foot
hold on the island. In that event Cen
eral Garcia. being on the ground, would
doubtless figure prominently in the ad-
ministration, although President Masso
and his cabinet are said to be in the
adjoining province of Puerto. Principe
and readily accessible at SaTyriagr. No
determination has been reached, so far
as can be learned, as to the form of
administration for until the surrender
itself is completed, the authorities here
are not disposed TO settle the details
of questions which naturally follow the
surrender.
1t is felt, however. that an important
question of general policy hinges on the
action at Santiago. as it is the first Gu
ban territory to be acquired by our
army and to some extent determination
as to its method of civil administra ton
will serve as a precedent for the civil
administration of other parts of Cuba
