On board the associated press dispatch
boat Wanda, off Juragua Cor Siboney),
Saturday, July 16. p. m., via Kingston,
Jamaica. July IL. 1850 a. m.-The Span
ish flag will come down from Santiago's
walls tomorrow, $4,000 Spanish soldiers
will yield their arms TO their American
conquerors and the sovereignty of Spain
in Eastern Cuba will end Official en-
dorsements of the terms of capitula-
ton were received from Madrid at
o'clock this morning and unless unfore-
seen obstruction arise the actual with
drawal of General Torars forces will
be an accomplished fact within "a
hours. Nine o'clock tomorrow is the
hour set for the ending of the Santiago
campaign. At that hour, under the
terms of the agreement, the Spanish
soldiers will march out from the city
they have so resolutely defended, all
under arms, and will be received by a
detachment of General Skaters victori-
Gus troops. The officers will retain their
side arms. but the soldiers will stack
their guns before the American lines
and be placed under guard, either to
return to Spain under convoy or to give
their oaths to remain in Cuba as nom
combatants. In the meantime several
regiments of General Skaters command
will be sent to take possession of the
fallen city and to hoist the stars and
stripes where the flag of Spain has
fioated for centuries. All the enemy's
troops in the district of Santiago prov
ince will be marched to Santiago, many
detachments from outlying points al
ready being en- route, and the entire
force of 22.500 men, 1t is expected. will
be ready to embark within a fortnight.
What will be done with General Shaf-
ter's force is not yet fully decided. The
physicians declare that the army, owing
to the hardships. will not be fit for ac-
tive duty for some time to come. and
General Miles is said to be considering
the proposal to leave only the immune
regiments to hold the conquered prov
ince and to return the body of the corps
to the United States and send other inn
munes from there to reinforce the Sam
tiago detachment, IL necessary.
Many of the troops are ready to take
part in the Porto Rican expedition, but
the expedition is strongly opposed.
New cases of yellow fever continue
to appear daily and fully 600 men are
now under treatment but the disease is
! in a very mild form, and the physicians
! say IL is now well in hand. Only five
/ deaths have occurred up to tonight, the
| low mortality being remarkable and
most encouraging to DIR. Guiteras and
| other fever experts, who had grave fears
when the disease first appeared that
| the death rate would be very heavy.
General Miles. in an interview to-day
with the correspondent of the associated
| press, said he believed that the danger
| Of the pest was over and the men did
! not seem to fear it, owing to the mild
ness of the cases.
| The formal sanction by the Madrid
| government as to the terms Of capitula-
| ton to-day unTaveled the skein of de-
| mands and counter-demands between
the opposing commanders, which threat
ened yesterday to end the negotiations
| and compel a return to arms. After
| numerous conferences had resulted in
the agreement already sanctioned by
| General Blanco, General Toral decided
that the approval of the Madrid gov
ernment was necessary before he would
| leave the city.
General Shafter maintained that no
such approval was necessary; that
when General Toral agreed to surren-
der the province of Santiago. General
| RIanco sanctioned It. and the agree
ment of surrender became an accom-
plished fact. He insisted that General
| Toral had either surrendered Thurs
day or acted in bad faith; that no evil
dence bore out the fact that General
Toral mentioned that he only capitu-
lated subject TO his governments ap-
prevail and the six commissioners by
whom the articles were signed at 2:l(
o'clock yesterday afternoon so ruled
The whole matter was cleared up this
morning, however. when General Tora
received the necessary sanction from
| Madrid.
The agreement is of nine articles. II
declares:
First-That all hostilities shall cease
pending the attempt of final capitula'

Second-That the capitulation in
cludes all the Spanish forces and thu
surrender of all war material within
the prescribed limits.
Third-The transportation Of troop
