Commodore Schley, with a party Of Off
GERS, visited the city this morning, COM
ing up the bay in steam launch. The
commodore called on Gen. Mckibben and
strolled about the streets, making several
purchases and apparently greatly enjoying
shore leave. He was received with great
respect by the Spanish officers who learned
his name.
Lieut. Mfey of Gen. Skaters staff left
here this morning with a troop of the Sec
ond Cavalry, under Capt. Brett, to make
the rounds of the entire military district
OF Santiago de Cuba, and for the purpose
of receiving the formal surrender Of the
| Spanish forces. He goes first Go san Luis,
where there are about 4,5O0 OF the enemy's
troops Lieut. Miley will then receive the
surrender in order, of SEQ men at Cobre,
1,2o0 az Catalina, $500 at Guantanamo, and
$500 at Baracoa. A total of 10000 Spaniards
| are expected to yield their arms TO this
one troop of American cavalry
To reach Baracoa, Lieut.. Mley will be
/ compelled to ride straight across the island
! to the northern coast, led by cuban
| guide He will ride under a white flag,
! for protection, but Gen. Toral has sent
members Of his staff ahead TO notify the
| post commanders of the terms of the sur
| render
The wound of Gen. Linares is much
more serious than reported. His left arm
has been amputated and tonight he is in a
| serious condition.
There is no ready-made clothing in the
! city except blue and white striped linen
uniforms and many of our men are dress
ed in these Spanish uniforms. They pre-
sent strange appearance and are greet
ed with laughter.
The readiness and avidity with which
the storekeepers accept greenbacks is re-
markable.
Gen. Skaters orders to close all the
rum shops has had the effect of keeping
the city quiet and peaceful. So far there
have been no drunken brawls or noises.
Many of the Spanish soldiers are anx-
ious 10 become American citizens and are
| applying for naturalization.
A number of the officers of high rank In
! the Spanish army condemn their govern
ments policy in dividing ier forces in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine ISL
lands, instead of concentrating them and
| possibly saving one colony. The cutting
of the fleet is also strongly censured, and
the Spanish naval officers all argue that
it is impossible under the present Grip
| pied condition of Spain, to make sue
| cessful resistance anywhere.
The useable ammunition Of the Spanish
troops here was exhausted Before the sur-
| render, as the 100000 cartridges found in
the magazines of Santiago do not fit the
| Mauser rifles. The Spaniards say our
| troops fought like tigers, and that Their
| discipline was excellent, but they insist
| more lives were lost on both sides than
was warranted by the conditions of July
L They assert that our troops could have
walked into the city without having
shot fired a them, as there was no soldiers
| left within the walls at that time. 1t ap-
| pears that they had only few thousand
| men, and they all went to El Caney at
the time thai battle was fought, leaving
!
| however, arrived later, and brought the
number of Spanish troops up to 5000 men.
At the battle of FL Caney our casualties
| exceeded those of the Spaniards. WINE
they had 400 men killed to our 200, they
had only 500 wounded to our 1,oV0. Inc
list of the wounded has been Increased
since to over 1900 men who are lying in
the Principe, Alfonso, Mercedes ana other
hospitals here
Gen. Lnares cabled to Madrid on July
before Gen. Skaters demand for the sur
render of Santiago a long message setting
| forth the inability of the city to hold out
! against an enemy superior in number, with
the Spaniards dying OF fever and starva-
ton and demoraized by the loss of the
/ feet He urged the government for the
sake of humanity 10 offer TO capituate, but
/ adding that If ordered TO remain to die like
/ rat in trap, he would do so, as his sol
diers were doing their duty, although
! realizing that a mistake had been made.
! Somehow information in regard to the
message leaked out and the Spanish OIL
GERS here are loud in their condemnation
| OF Gen. Linares, who they accuse Of faint
| hoartcdness throughout he war, to the ex-
| tent of under the plea of sight wound
! laying the mantle of the shame of surren-
! der upon Gen. ToraPs shoulders instead Of
! facing the disgrace himself
| This feeling is general among the men
! who, passing the palace where the Stars
! and Stripes are flying clench their fists
! and murmur, "Que vergeunza para la
! patria! Poro 10 merece blen." (What
shame to our country! But she deserves it
! well)
