Contract Therefor Awarded to n
Spanish Compapy!

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 20.-Ar-
rangements were practically concluded by
the government tonight for the trans
portation OF the Spanish prisoners at San
tiago from Cuba to Spain.
The contract was awarded to the Span
ish Transatlantic Company, represented
by j. M. Ceballos 6; Co., of New York
The company agrees to carry the
prisoners from Cuban ports to Spain at
the rate of $50 for each enliscted man
and s55 for each commissioned officer,
subsistence to be furnished by the COM
pany on the army-ration basis, as pro-
vided for in the governments advertise
ment for bids.
The award provides also that the com
pany shall have five ships at Santiago in
nine days from to-morraw dhe 2lst in
stanD, two in seventeen days from to-
morrow, and enough to complete the
transportation Of the prisoners in twenty
one days from tomorrow.
THE OPENING OF BIDS.
Two days ago. Colonel Hecker in
charge of the transportation OF troops in
the Quartermaster-Gener Department
of the army, went to New York to consult
with shipping companies concerning the
transportation of the Spanish troops sur
rendered at Santiago. Bids which he had
previously advertised for were opened at
the Army Building in New York today.
Colonel Hec<er returned to Washington
this evening. Tonight he had a confer
ence at the War Department with Secre-
tary Alger Quartermaster-G General Lud-
ington, and Acknowledgement Corbin.
The bids OF the several companies were
considered that of the Spanish Transat-
lantique Company being finally accepted,
as in all respects it was regarded as the
best made
On the basis of 1900 enlisted men and
1000 officers. it will cost the government
S5S5,OOO TO transport the prisoners
UNDER THE SPANISH FLAG.
The ships will fly the colors of Spain,
and will be manned. probably. entirely by
Spanish crews.
1t was remarked tonight, as one Of the
curious developments of the war that
the United States Government should
enter into a friendly contract with u
company, many of whose vessels are
auxiliaries to the Spanish navy, and some
of which have been captured or destroyed
by the navy of the United States.

Hon. Benton McAfillin presented Colonel
Bryan to a large and enthusiastic audi
ence' OF men and women. who greeted him
with cheers. Colonel Bryan spoke in part
as follows:
we do not know what may be the re-
suit OF this war. War often brings re-
suits which were not imagined in the be-
ginning. but one result has already been
achieved. II there was anybody in the
United States who doubted the loyalty OF
the people of the South, there will here
after be no one TO doubt the loyalty OF the
people Of the South. (Applause), When
the President Of the United tSates gave a
generals commission to GENERAL Fitz-
hugh Lee and General Wheeler the sec
tional question was forever buried, and
hereafter there will be no Dixie line
Applause) When our band started down
here told them l wanted them to prac-
tice on Dixie so that we could play It
when we got down South. because. told
them, you had been practicing for thirty
years on Yankee Doodle and we wanted
to mix them down here" Applause.)

Cuban Generals Told They Must Fall
in with Our Policy.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Senor Ques-
sada and other representatives OF the
Cuban Junta were in consultation with
officials of the War Department tonight.
The officials of the United States were
assured that there was no dissatisfaction
with the management of affairs in Cuba
SO far as the Cuban representatives Were
concerned, and that IL General Garcia ana
other Cubans operating about Santiago
were not in accord with the United
States authorities there it arose from a
misunderstanding of the Presidents pro-
clamation and of the intentions OF the
United States in the premises.
Ii soon became known that the Junta
had sent dispatches to General Garcia
and other Cuban officers that their course
was not approved by the Junta, and that
IL persisted in It would result in gerious
injury to the Cubans.

tne campaign from a naval point OF view
IL 10 be principally land movement. the
naval officers do not believe a very ex-
tensive convoy is necessary.
MONTERREY OUGHT TO BE THERE.
According to the calculations at the
Navy Department. Admiral Dewey's fleot
at Cavite should now be reinforced by the
coast-defence vessel Monterey, which.
with her tender and coal-carrier. the
brutus. has now been about twenty days
out from Honolulu. With the addition or
this fine and powerful monitor. Dewey
VIII be amply able to take care of him.
seif so long as the naval forces I'm the
philippines are maintaining the relative
proportions they now occupy. However.
the disclosure by the State Department
OF the lack Of foundation for the sensa-
tional stories of strained relations with
Germany has largely abated the anxiety
entertained at the Navy Department as
to Deweys position at Manila.
TO TRANSPORT sPANIARDs.
The War Department was agreeably
surprised at the number of bids received
to-day In answer to its proposals for
transporting the Spaniards now at Sam
uago TO Cadz. The terms offered by
some OF the companies were also regard
ed as very reasonable, and as it is de-
sirable to terminate the present condition
OF affairs at Santiago at the earliest pos
sible moment, 1t is said the award will
be made Immediately. A bid from
Spanish steamship company was a sur
prise to the department officials, and at
least one of them thought that 1t might
be good policy for the government to avail
themselves OF this offer.
YELLOW-FEvER REPORT.
Surgeon Greenleafs report from the
camp at Santiago came this afternoon,
and reported that the fever among the
troops was very mild. The men suf-
fering from the disease were said to be
improving
CUBANS ACCEPT OUR PLANS.
The assurance from the Cuban Legation
here to-day that they were prepared to
accept as proper the plans laid down by
General Shafter for the government OF
Santiago, is. 1t is hoped but a prelude |
TO instructions to the Cuban generals from |
the same source TO defer to General |
