protection of our troops from yellow fe-
yer and from low tropical fevers. The
department has decided to remove the
troops at Santiago at the earliest pos
sible moment to the country in the rear
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said today that
within five miles Of Santiago proper
conditions were as nearly ideal as OBJ
tainable in the tropics for stamping
out the fever; high hills assured we'll
drained camps, most important ele-
ment in the preservation of health,
the water supply coming from the
mountains was pure and abundant, and
fresh sea breezes prevailed. While
the main body of troops is to be trans
ferred back to those hills until they are
reeded for service elsewhere or are re-
turned to the United States, some
troops necessarily will be placed either
in the town itself or in camps COM
handing the place, in order to protect
the inhabitants. 1t is believed the two
regiments of immunes already on their
way to Santiago will be assigned to
that duty. This will be a. severe test
of the principle involved in the forma-
ton of the immune regiments, for it is
suspected that many Of the alleged
inimunes are merely persons who have
spent only few weeks in the tropics
under conditions that never brought
them into direct exposure to yellow fe-
ver
1t is the present intention of the au-
thOrities here to maintain a military
government at Santiago, regardless of
hints from Cuban sources that they are
prepared to undertake the administra-
ton there. 1t Is believed that the
United States is under moral obliga-
ton to the world to see to it that moth
ing but a highly civilized government
shall be set up in Cuba. wherefore the
authorities here are disposed to be
extremely cautious, and to make full
test of the capacity Of the Cubans be-
fore entrusting the lives and property
Of the people of Santiago to their care.

Point at Santiago.

oInt al SahtIaSOs
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The arms
surrenderedJby3the Spanish soldiers at
Santiago too Gen. Shefter will be kept
by the United States government. This
conclusion,Ifeach late this afternoon
by the president and Secretary Alger,
was made 'eubltc by the latter as he
left his office at o'clock tonight for
his home. "All those who have arms
will turn them over to this govern
ment. This is final" These were the
secretary's words when asked for IN
formation on the subject. "And," he
added. in response to further inquiries,
and to clear any doubt that might
exist, on the subject, ''the rifles will
not be returned to SPAIN
The decision no doubt already has
been communicated to Gen. Shafter
Up to the time when Secretary Alger's
emphatic statement disposed of all
doubt on the matter, it was thought
In some quarters that consideration
might be given to the appeal made by
Gen. Toral in behalf Of his men that
they be allowed to keep their arms. In
fact. it was said by a high department
official that the president would await
the recommendations Of the United
States commissioners to the surrender
on this subject before disposing Of the
question, especially as Gen. Shafter
had telegraphed the department that
1T was understood the United States
commissioners would recommend that
the Spanish soldiers return to Spain
with the arms they so bravely defend
ed. This decision Of the president ap-
plies alike to those Spanish soldiers
who havesnot been engaged with the
United States atroops, as well as to
those who have been participants in
the recent battles.

The Olivette will remain at anchor un-

Shortly after the Olivette dropped an
chor the Staten Island ferry boat went
of the most seriously sick and wound
ed, landing them at Stapleton, where
ambulances removed them to the Unit
ed States marine hospital. The main
and hurricane decks of the Olivette
presented a most animated appearance
when the health officers boat went
alongside. All were elated to hear of
the surrender of the Spanish army at
Santiago. Many of the men were sorry
they were not able to be present at the
surrender. Surgeon APPLE, of the Oliv-
cite, said that he was more than pleas
ed with the condition of the men un-

derfully since leaving Santiago.

There was no evidence on board of

improvements made in modern surgery

Gen. Shafter:
playa del Este. Near Santiago, July 49,
The following letter has just been received:
80 " Santiago de Cuba, July 16.-To His Elk
cellency, Commander-in-Ch American
Forces-EXcellent Sir: l am now authorized
by my government to capitulate. l have the
honor TO so apprise you, and request that
you designate the hour and place where my
p representatives shall appear to confer with
those OF your eXcellency TO effect the arti-
-cles OF capitulation on the basis of what has
been agreed upon to this date In due time.
l wish to manifest my desire to know the
resolution of the United States government
on the capitulations; also the great courtesy
of your great graces and return for the great
generosity and impulse for the Spanish SOL
diers and allowing them to return to the
peninsula with the honors the American army
descended. - Jose ToraI.
g Commanding General. Fourth Army Corps.
g To Gen. Shafter, Commanding American
Forces"
ANXIETY RELIEVED.
There was an agreeable revulsion Of
feeling at the White house and at the
departments when the dispatch came
from Gen. Shafter announcing that the
Sp1uidiuS lStu lllldlly agreed TO the
terms made by the Americans That
there had been considerable anxiety as
to the outcome of the negotiations for
the surrender of Santiago is generally
known in official circles. The govern
ment had fully determined that the
SpaniaIds must give up their arms,
and this is what it was feared the hitch
would occur upon as the Spanish gener-
al, Toral. seemed determined upon III
sistlng that his men must be permitted
TO retain their arms. That sort Of a
surrender was not what the America
government wanted, if only for the
moral effect of it, therefore it can be
imagined that the administration is in
mood for rejoicing now that the sur
render has been accomplished with
the provisO that the arms go with it.
