Prisoners Of War Will bs Returned on Transports Fly
ing the Enemy's Flag at Cost Of S635, 900.

Arrangements practically were con-
cluded by the government last Thurs
day for the transportation of the Span
ish prisoners at Santiago from Cuba to
Spain.
The contract was awarded to the
Spanish Transatlantique Company re-
presented by j. NJ. Cebballos Il Co., of
New York. The company agrees to
carry the prisoners from Cuban ports
to Spain at the rate of 500 for each en-
listed man and $55 for each commission
ed officer. subsistence to be furnished
by the company on the army ration
basis. as provided for in the govern
ments advertisement for bids.
The award provides also that the
company shall have five ships at San
tiago in nine days from the 2lst inst,
two in seventeen days and enough to
complete the transportation OF the
prisoners in twenty-one days.
On the basis of $4,000 enlisted men
and 1000 6ficers. it will cost the gov
ernment s535,000 to transport the pris-
oners.
The ships will fly the colors Of Spain
and will be manned. probably entirely,
by Spanish crews. 1t was remarked as
one of the curious developments of the
war that the United States government
should enter into a friendly contract
with a company, many Of whose vessels
are auxiliaries to the Spanish navy.
and some of which have been captured
or destroyed by the navy of the United
States.

They are contenting themselves with
United States rations. smoking cigar
ettas and grumbling because they were
not privileged to loot Santiago at the
time of surrender.
A Santiago special says that Gen.
Garcia has written a letter to Gen.
Shafter declaring that he Is dlsgusted
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans and will therefore withdraw
his forces to the hills.
Among the things which Gen. Garci8
complains is the failure of the AmerKI :
can commander to officially notify hi
of the surrender of the Spanish for
under Gen. Toral, and he Is also L.
censed at the alleged fact that he was
not Invited to be present at the cere-
mony attending the formal capitula-
tion of Santiago.
Another grievance Is the retention Of
the Spanish civil authorities in the ad-
mnistration of their functions In San
tiago.
For these reasons Garcia declares he
will no longer cooperate with the
forces under Gen. Skaters command,
but will act Independently as he did be-
fore the American troops landed In
Cuba.
Gen. Palma, president OF the Cuban
junta. is in Washington. He does not
credit the stories about the reported
friction between Cuban soldiers and
the Americans.
''I think" he said "all Cubans rec
ognize the nice work of the United
States in helping the Cubans to attain
their independence. cannot think
any regular soldiers of the Cuban army
have refused to help build roads. dig
trenches. etc. do not know what
some few scattered soldiers may have
done. but 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that any of the regulars under
| Garcia have declined to perform such
| service. Gen. Garcia from the beginning
| said he was ready to do all that was
necessary to aid the Americans, and
| his soldiers have for years been doing
| just such work as you refer to. They
have grown accustomed to it."
What do you estimate as the num-
| ber Of Cuban soldiers under arms In
Cuba at the present timer was asked.
II think we have about $1,000 Cuban
soldiers under arms in Cuba now" said
| Gen. Palma. There are probably
about 1000 or 5000 soldiers with Garcia
and the balance OF them scattered all
| over Cuba. 1t must be remembered
| that we have possession Of good
| many towns and there must be a
| guard maintained over them by our
Cuban army. All through the prov
inces there are needs for the protection
which is afforded by these soldiers.
