Returned Spanish Prisoners Relate a Ror,
rible Story Of Alleged American
Cruelty at Santiago.

London, Aug. 2s.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says the
officers and soldiers who have returned
from Santiago de Cuba bitterly accuse
the Americans of unfulflled promises
made at the time of the capitulation
of Santiago. The Americans. they
say, forced the Spanish troops to en-
camp on a spot where hundreds OF
corpses of the Spanish defenders of FL
Caney were buried. The rain almost
unearthed the bodies, the stencil from
which produced an epidemic. The
Americans, the Spaniards assert, kept
the latter without food and the officers
received only timed sardines. Most
of them returned seriously i'll from
the results of prolonged hunger. Sew.

pecially amateur transport and COM
missariat, is cruel work
