THE SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
A Seventy-First New York Soldier
Gives Some Interesting Incidents.

Gives Some Interesting Incidents.
New York Aug. s.-A letter written
by Martin Groves, private in the Sew
enty-first New York Volunteers. at San
tiago, July II, the day the American
troops took possession of that city, was
received by his relatives here today.
1t contains some interesting details of
that memorable event, and gives good
idea of wat soldiers life is like in
that tropical climate.
THE American flag was raised over
Santiago at exactly noon," Groves
writes, "and the beautiful emblem was
greeted with an enthusiasm worthy of
it by our boys. 1t was a grandly i'm
posing sight
Imagine. if you can, nine miles of
trenches, with regiment after regiment
lined up in front of them. AS far as
the eye could reach there was an un-
broken line of blue uniforms, excepting
on the right flank, where there were
two or three regiments of Cuban pa
triots in uniform of white.
'tAs soon as the cannon started to
belch forth their thunderous salute 10
the flag the line began to cheer. The
joy ols the moment sufficed TO make us
forget what we had passed through in the
last three weeks and there are few who
would not willingly endure it again for
the flag over the Spanish city.
1--WE have rwo light batteries planted
within our regimelgtal lines. one Of which
is Battery E, of the Fourth Artilley, COM
manded by Capt Capron, whose brave
Son was killed on June 25 ait Sevilla. You
should have seen the anxiety with which
he watched each shot fired when the
bonfbar,iment began last Sunday. He
moved from one gun to the other, cheer
ing the gunners for a good shot and re-
proving them for a bad one. He would
say:
Now try them at 1,400 yards. All!
that was a good one
"Then moving TO the next gun he
would say:
Now lets see what you can do. A
little too high, my boy. Ahl' as the next
shot went screaming toward the enemy,
that's better
Capt Capron watched the effect of
each shot through powerful glasses with
the greatest eagerness, smiling grimly
at each effective one, as if feeling that
it was aimed specially to avenge his
sons death, who was captain of Troop
l., in Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
'The Spaniards had a 6-inci1 gun
trained on us for about two hours dur
ing the bombardment, until one of Ca
pron's battery sent shell directly into
the muzzle of 1t. After that there was
no reply to our shells.
"Since the surrender our food supply
has become much better, and for the
last two or three days we have had
enough to eat. We will now get sup
plies through Santiago, which will do
away with the mule trains to a great
extent.
None of the troops has been allowed In
Santiago as yet, as yellow jack is rag
ing in the city, and it might gain foot
hold in our ranks and sort of depopulate
us-in fact, kill more Of us than the Dons'
bullets.
"Our officers say that If our regiment
remains free from contagious diseases
and retains its present general health we
will be on our way home within week.
