reason 70 doubt that II General Gomez should
direct him 10 return and put himself and his
ormy agnin at General Shofter's disposal he
would promptly and cheorfully obey. Some
ports of his letter show that he either does not
comprehend or knowingly misreprescnts the
conditions which had to be met after the sur
render of Santiago and the measures adopted TO
meet them, and It seems both fairer and more
reasonable TO assume that he Is Uniformed
