surrendered zone. Mr.. Allen says these
Spanish garrisons do not exceed 5000
men. This, he says, is General Garcia's es-
innate. Mr.. Allen left Santiago only last
Saturday. At that time he says there were
two suspicious cases thought to be yellow
fever in the hospital at Siboney.
The Navy Department had not heard up to
the close of Office hours to what extent the
American fleet participating in the
Spanish surrender. With Santiago in our
hands the way will be clear for Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet to enter the harbor and pro-
ceed up to the wharves, as soon as the tor
pedoes and mines at the harbor entrance
are removed The fortifications of Morro
Castle, Socapa, Cayo Smith and others are
included in the surrendered zone. The pos
session of these fine fortresses, particularly
MORO Castle, will afford valuable garrison
points for a large number of men. The
terms under which these strongholds are
surrendered is not yet known in detail, but
it is regarded as likely that their big guns
pass with the surrender. While the fleet
will soon be free to move up to Santiago
city some doubt is entertained in naval
circles whether any good could be accom-
plished by such a move, as it might SUBJ
ject some of our sailors to the contagion ex-
isting within the city.

The Santiago Commission.

BEFORE SANTIAGO, July IA, 1918 D. m,
via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay.-San-
tiago has surrendered. A commission of two
Spaniards, one Englishman and three
Americans is now arranging terms Proba-
bly, the Spanish army will accept a parole
and be returned to Spain. We insist on i'm
mediate possession of the city, pending ar
rangements as to details, and probably will
enter Santiago tonight. Our army will re-
main outside the city. but our sick will be
taken in and a general hospital headquar-
ters will be Immediately established.
The truce, which was to end at noon to-
day, was prolonged by flag sent out from
the Spanish lines at 9:90 this morning. Gen
eral Toral, acting on Captain General
Blanco's instructions. asked time to COM
municate by cable with Madrid, the surren-
der of Santiago being too important a step
to be taken without royal authority In the
meantime General Blanco offered to appoint
joint commission to arrange terms.
General Miles and General Shafter decided
to call for a personal interview with General
Toral, his message being ambiguous. They
rode out between the lines shortly before
noon and met General Toral, vino said he
had received, a few minutes before, author
ity from Captain General Blanco to capitu-
late and to make the work of the commits
soners final. General Toral named Mr..
Robert Mason, British consul, General
Tolon, and his own CTorals) chief of staff.
General Shafter and General Miles named
General Wheeler, General Lawton and Cap
tain Miley, of General Skaters staff. The
commission is now working on the terms of
the surrender
The news was received with enthusiasm
in the American lines. The American war
ships are expected to pass under the guns
of FL Moro this evening and will command
the town from the upper bay. It is proba-
BILE that but few will remain here, orders
having been received for all the heavy yes
sells to join Commodore Watson's squadron
for the Spanish coast.
There is report-as yet unconfrmed-
that the surrender and evacuation Of the
Spanish troops may extend to the entire
province of Santiago de Cuba This is only
a rumor, which events may disprove; but
it is generally believed that in case of such
an evacuation our main forces would prob
ably seek fresh camp on the highlands
in the vicinity with view to recuperating.

RETURN OF sPANIARDs.
American Vessels Will Not BE Used as
TranspOrts.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The plan of the
War Department for returning the sur
rendered army of General Toral to Spain
will not necessitate the use of American
vessels. 1t is the purpose of the department
to ask for proposals from all steamship COM
panies which desire to compete for the
transporting of the Spanish troops to Spain.
and the most advantageous bid will be ac-
cepted. The advices of General Shafter state
that the number of Spanish prisoners will
be between twelve thousand and fifteen
thousand. Secretary Alger had no hesitancy
in saying to-day that he doubted if Spain
wanted the prisoners brought back there
and said that if transported in our own ves-
sells. and without some agreement with the
Spanish representatives. Spain would not
refrain from seizing them.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-There was con-
siderable disappointment in administration
circles because no details concerning the
surrender of Santiago were received Sec
retary Alger and Secretary Wilson re-
when they left said that not a word had
been received during the evening. The
President was gratified that the surrender
had occurred, but was anxious for more de-
tails. During the evening numerous tele-
grams were received from different parts
of the country congratulating the President
upon the success of the operations at SAINT
iago. some Of them stating that bonfires
were blazing in celebration of the news.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-While there
We're many rumors as to the exact condi-
tions at Santiago, it was not until 12
o'clock that Adjutant General Corbin re-
turned from the White House. He then
gave out a brief bulletin, stating that Gen.
Toral had asked for commission to agree
on terms of surrender, and had himself
named his commissioners. The bulletin did
not give the text of General Skaters dis
patch, nor did it give what every one was
anxiously waiting to know: Whether the
Spanish proposition would be accepted or
rejected, and what effect our action would
have on the bombardment which was to be-
gin at noon to-day. The lack of definite in
formation led to many wild reports. One
ton had been summarily rejected, and that
it took only few minutes for the White
House conference to determine on the re-
lection and so notify General Shafter. This
report was contradicted by officials in au-
thority at the War Department. They said
as 1t related TO any delay or parley over the
question of surrender. The orders sent to
General Shafter made it perfectly clear to
him that If the Spanish commander was
seeking 10 gain time, or wanted commits
sion to treat on the question of surrender
itself. then the proposition was not to be
considered but If the Spanish general con-
ceded surrender. and desired the commits

Guantanamo are the extensive plantations

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The territory
surrendered to the United States by General
Toral makes about 5000 square miles The
Spanish soldiers to be sent to Spain are es-
timated al L, coo men. Major Hopkins, the
military aid to Secretary Alger this after
noon had spread before him a huge map of
Cuba showing the surrendered zone turned
over to the American troops. The line be-
gins at Acerredores, about fifteen miles
west of Santiago harbor, and then runs due
north about twenty-five miles to Palmo
Soriano. Had the line continued due north
it would nave passed west of Holguin, thus
taking the Spanish garrison at that point.
Evidently General Toral wished to avoid
the inclusion of Holguin, so the line turns
abruptly to the northeast of Palmo and
runs to the town of Boca del Sagua on
the coast. The extreme length of this sur
rendered tract is about 110 miles and the
extreme width about fifty miles, tapering
to a less width, making in all about 5000
square miles. 1t is a rugged, mountainous
country, with very few towns Of any size.
Santiago with its fine harbor is the main
point, while Guantanamo is second in i'm
portance.
Mr.. II. ]. Allen, OF Kansas City, who had
just come from Santiago, was with Secre-
tary Alger during the afternoon and gave
him some interesting details as to the char
acter Of the country now surrendered to
our troops. He said the country was so
wild and rocky that 1t afforded practically
no camping ground for considerable num-
mer of troops. and in his opinion there was
not a point in this sweep of country suitable
as a base of operations for an army. Ex-
cept the Spanish force at Santiago, num-
bering about 1900 men, Mr.. Allen says there
are no Spanish troops within the surren-
dered zone. as it has been overrun by Gar

Adjutant General Corbin looked upon the
matter as settled, and said as much lmIne-
diately upon his return from his conference
with the President at the White House. In
his opinion the only thing that remained
was to agree upon certain essentlal details,
such as Were the Spanish troops should
surrender, whether in town or whethef
they should be marched out on the plains
and there lay down their arms. 1t was also
possible, he said, that the question OF time
might enter into the matter as to Whether
the evacuation of the town should pegln at
exactly noon, or whether the actual sur
render should occur at that hour, or snort
time thereafter. He said that the use OF the
term commissioners was apt to be mis-
understood to mean formal commission
sitting in deliberate session for days. Sucn
was not the case in the present instance.
Commissions to arrange the details OF sur
render after it had been agreed upon are
common in military histories; and com

to persons charged with such duties. Gen.
Corbin said that under the army regula-
tions, General Shafter has full authority to
arrange with General Toral for the appoint

purpose indicated. He stated positively
that no instructions on that particular point
had been sent to General Shafter one way
or the other, and Shafter was expected to
act entirely in accordance with his original
instructions contemplating the unconditional

ing Porto Rico Expedition.
WASHINGTON, July H.--Major General
Brooke, commanding the large army at
Chickamauga, was to-day ordered to report
to Washington. 1t is believed his call to
this city is with the view to consultation re-
specting the next military expedition, which
it is now proposed shall leave the United
States within a short time after the fall of
Santiago Aside from some of the regulars
now in Cuba the Porto Rican expedition
will not draw upon our troops in Cuba to
any extent, the plan being to have our Cu-
ban forces largely returned to the United
States for recuperation. General Wilson's
division, composed of the brigades of Gem
erals Haines and Ernst are under orders
for the Porto Rican expedition. One brizi
gade is now at Charleston and the-etAsr at
Chickamauga- No more troops shall be
embarked for Santiago with the exception
of two regiments of immunes. These inn
mune regiments are at New Orleans and
Galveston, where transports have been pro-
vided to take them to Cuba.
Investigation with respect to the climatic
condition at San Juan has convinced the Of
ficials that there would be practically no
danger to our troops there from yellow fe-
yer. which annually prevails in nearly all
parts Of Cuba. The city of San Juan, which
is built on high ground, is said to be ex-
ceptionally clean for Spanish town. The
water is said to be good, and all things con-
sidered, it is not believed that the present
arrangements for the invasion Of the island
will be interferred with.

ron would certainly go to Spain as soon as
it could sail.
Great attention will now be given to the
care of our sick and fever-stricken soldiers
at Santiago. In the opinion of the army sur-
geons, the sick can be best, treated by re-
moval to the high ground back of the south
ern coast, where the heat is less severe and
where recovery could proceed without the
fear of communicating disease to the rest
of the army. Secretary Alger is anxious to
bring the entire army back as soon as 1t
can be done with safety to the men them
selves and without jeopardy to the other
The active preparations made to deal with
the emergency are such that it is felt the

has been simplified. In the matter of trans
ports the department is fully prepared for
the next move The acquisition recently Of
a number of transatlantic liners capable OF
carrying several times as many men as the
smaller transports, has put it IN an excel
lent footing and it was announced to-day
that no more ships were being bought for

which is that Of bringing the sick and
