BEFORE SANTIAGO, by dispatch
boat Daurtless, via Port Antonio and
Kingston, yuly 9. ] p. m.-One Sc
cret Of the determination Of the
Spanish soldiery in Santiago to fight
to the death was the belief which
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans
would be put to the sword.
IL is known that after the fail OF
El Gauey July the Spanish soldiers
who escaped along the foothills
marched directly into General Garcia s
men, posted TO the North Of Santi-
ago. They fought desperately, but
were shown no mercy by the Cubans.
and were macheted 10 the last man.
General DelrIne, who was in com.
mand, was brutality 1mutilated. The
kno Wedge Of this massacre found it's
way into Santiago and prompted
SpaDiards to die rather than surrender
The voluntary surrender Of some Of
the wounded Spanish officers and
men has dispelled the delusion, and is
helping to induce General Toral to
consider the proposition to capitulate.
After the fail Of Ell Gauey the Gu
bans sacked the town. Information
Of the two outrlges we're promptly
sent to General Snafter, who issued
orders that aLy Cuoan found rihing
the bodies Of dead or wounded Span
iards would be promptly dealt with.
To prevent the possibility of Gu
bans pluudering Santiago when it
capitulates it has been decided to for
bid the Cubans entering the town.
