General Shafter himself summed IN
the situation by saying: 1T cnnn ~

n question whatever has been raised no

agreement had been ratified by General

General Greedy received another dis

nation that Colonel Allen had ,andad
the shore end of the signal corps cable
At llaya from the cable steamer Adrja
1oionei Allen was not allowed to land
=. f ly on account of the Adria com
me- from an infected district All were
Wen on board, but no one was allowed
3s{ ashore Colonel Allen returns this
evening to Rafquiri to repair the
s3s i french cable at that point and estab-
,lsh regular communication between
tn Piaya and Santiago de Cuba. so that
q me army will be in teleeranhic com
llunlcatlon with Washington as soon
y as the city is surrendered
fne perpiexing problem now to be
solved is how to carry out the pledge
n made by General Shafter to remove
the Spanish soldiers who surrendered
70 Spain. It would have been no easy

the best conditions. but the re-
ports that indicated the exist
ence Of yRellow fever among the Snan-
,ards threatened all kinds Of difficult
hfsS. After all 1t was decided to be
4 only a matter OF money. and If the
4 price offered is large enough steamship
lines could doubtless he found to UNI
# dertake the transportation. AT the
s best several weeks probably will be re-
nllired 10 remove the Spaniards so
4 that 1t will be necessary to maintain
4 {, considerable proportion of the Amer
rs lean army in the neigh bornood for some
Il time. Still being under no care to pro-
tect themselves from the foe. the Amer
II lean troops can be so disposed as to
s make themselves very comfortable In
comparison with what they have un-
dcrgone.
The surgeons reports describe the
disease Of a mild type, and it is said
this will readily yield to change OF
location into higher and cooler ground.
At Ills o'clock this Saturday morn
ing when Adjutant General Corbin left
the War Department for his home, he
was yet without definite information
# from General Shafter concerning the
surrender of Santiago.
5 In accordance with the decision
VI reached at the conference with the
& President. he sent instructions to Cen
eral Shafter that nothing but an un-
III conditional surrender by General Toral
s would be satisfactory to this govern,
MI ment. sag
!hNview of Skaters last dispatch no
fear is felt that the negotiations for
The surrender of the forces in Santiago
city will not be prosecuted to a success
full conclusion. General Torai it is
& known. at first insisted that his men
= be permitted TO carry their arms with
them TO Spain. This concession Gene
s5,a raj Shafter declined to grant Toral
i has modified his demand regarding the
arms and has presented petition that
the arms taken from his men be re-
turned to Spain with the troops. In the
y statement Of Secretary Alger given
above, it has been denied by the gov
eminent.
General Shafter estimates that there
are from 12.0G0 to $4,000 men in San
4 province outside OF the city. 1t is be
y lieved that the delay in the negotia-
B tons is made necessary in order to Sc
zacure the surrender of the outlying gar
risons some of which may question
T0rals authority to surrender them
without definite instructions to that eff
