Washington. JulylG-Thc fact that ap-
peared at last satisfactory this evening
was that the Spanish army had sur
rendered ana about that there could be no
doubt. but unfortunately the details are
stll good deal clouded. as Sc, out In
General Skaters last dispatch.
II remains now FOR our government TO
decide whether Il Is willing that the
Spanish soldiers shall carry on their arms,
and while Secretary Alger says that the
general terms OF the agreement reached
by Sshafter are satisfactory, the govern
ment is not bound to deliver these arms
SO much desired by our ordnance officers
just at this time.
or course the recommendations OF our
commissioners who signed the capttula-
tlon would have weight with the presl-
dent and secretary of war but their pres
ent disposition Is To insist on the reten-
tlon oi the arms, principally because OF
the difference in the moral effect that
would be produced by the return to
Spain OF armed, or disarmed soldiers.
II is realized here that the terms I'M
posed by the commissioners as to the re-
moval of the Spanish troops now aug
mented TO a formidable total, involve
grave responsibilities for our government
