With the American Fleet Off Santiago de Cuba, Saturday, July l6, 6 D. m. (By Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica, Sunday, July F, Il a. m.)-The news that the surrender of Santiago was an accom- plished fact was wigwagged this morning from the army signal station at Aguadores to the flagship New York
 Acting on General Shafter's messages of Thursday, which stated absolutely that Santiago had already surrendered, Rear Admiral Sampson abandoned all prepara- tons for entering Santiago harbor and a further bombardment. When General Shaf- ter said yesterday that hitch had ac- cured, and the city might have to be ta- ken by force of arms 1t was believed that the navy work would have to be continued and the harbor forced, and the arrange ments already in progress for further cam paigning would be further interfered with. The removal of th.s trouble renders this mornings news of victory doubly wel- come.
 This morning General Miles and staff went aboard the New York. For an hour General Miles sat upon the quarterback of the flagship explaining the situation ashore to Admiral Sampson and discussing details for the future cooperation of the navy and army. Admiral Sampson declined to send an officer ashore to see that the Spaniards lived up to their promise to remove all the mines from the harbor. He has prom ised Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross society that the Red Cross ship State ot Texas shall be the first vessel to enter the harbor after he is satisfied that the mines bava heen removed
 GENERAL MILES CERTIFIED.
 General Miles said today to represent- ative of the Associated Press:
 1T am much gratified over the surrender of Santiago The terms are as good as an unconditional surrender. The spanisn troops would eventually have to be sent 10 Spain; by sending them at once we feeo and keep them for only month or so' instead of perhaps year. It would pc hard work to keep them in Cuba, where ie must be remembered they would be con- stant agency for the spread of yellow fever.
 "In Spain they will have no chance to break their oaths nor to fight against us. They will never get back to Cuba, that's certain"
 Asked as to the yellow fever among American troops, General Miles said: The doctors report 237 cases. Of course 1t IS a serious matter, but hope by camping on the hills to stamp 1t out as 1t is a mild form of fever and only few deaths have yet occurred.
 "Our troops fought splendidly, nobly. The entire campaign was complete suc- cess.''
 ADMIRAL SAMPSON DELIGHTED.
 Admiral Sampson said to the correspond ent: q am delighted at the successful ter mination of the campaign. The question of transporting the Spanish troops to Spain will undoubtedly be settled by the Wasln- ington authorities without delay. If the troops go on the transports now of San- tiaeo or in other American transports sent for that purpose they will need no convoy, the safety of our transports on their arrival in Spain naturally being guar anteed."
 All the American troops now on the south side of Cuba will remain ashore proba- bly, for some time, until the Spanish troops are on the transports. Their task is like ly to be an arduous one.
 The marines will keep the camp at Guam tanamo.
 For the forces employed and the lives lost. it is doubtful whether in the history af all wars such benefit has been derived as from the work done by this handful of marines at Guantanamo backed up by the ships at Guantanamo. Admiral Sampson is inclined to believe now that it would be advisable for Guantanamo to be made an open port. As far as the navy is con- cerncd it's work off Santiago has been done we'll and the unbroken blockade kept by the fleet and consequent hunger and dis
