SHAFTER OPENS JAIL DOORS.
FORTY POLITICAL PRISONERS
FREED AT SANTIAGO.

Some of Them Confined without
Charges of Any Character, Others
ON Trivial PreteNts and Others
StiII Because of sympathy with
the Insurgent Cause.-The 7'OOO
Spanish Soldiers <at Guantanamo
Formally Lay Down Their Arms
Copvright 1898. by the Associated Press.
Santiago de Cuba, July 25.-EverythinS
here is peaceful. TIE 1000 Spanish sol
diers at Guantanamo lay down their arms
to-day.
The $500 from Palma soriano, San Luis
and Longo surrendered yesterday to Lieut.
Miley and to-day pack trains with provi-
sions We're sent them.
The only others included in the caphu-
lation are 2OOO troops at Baracoa and lOOO
at Sagua. They have not yet been turn
ed over, but they are now here in Gen.
Garcia's vicinity. He is at Jisuraney to-
day and reached there without encounter
ing any Spaniards.
Gen. Shafter authorizes an absolute con-
tradiction of the report that Gen. Garcia
encountered a force of Spaniards who were
returning to Santiago to surrender, and
was defeated by them.
Col Ezra P. Ewers of the Ninth Infant
ry, acting for Gen. Shafter, will receive
the formal surrender of Guantanamo.
Yesterday Gen. Shafter released forty
Cubans, who had been confined in the To-
cal Jail on political charges. Indeed, some
of them were confined without charges OF
any character others on the most trivial
pretexts, and yet others solely because OF
sympathy with the insurgent cause.
The Jail is stin filled with many whose
and are absolutely unknown, so far as
has yet been ascertained.
A general investigation has been order
ed Immediately.
American newspapers, which have ar
rived here, contain articles written ap-
parently under a Misrepresentation of the
facts regarding the conduct of the cam
palgn and the dictation of the terms OF
surrender.
Gen. Miles was here simply as visitor
and advisor In his official capacity lie
had nothing to do with the terms OF capt.
ualtion, the entire credit for which belongs
to Gen. Shafter who, on July 10, received
the following dispatch from Washington
of that date:
Gen Shafter Siboney: The secretary
of war directs me to inform you that Gen
Miles LEFT here at 1910 last night for San
tiaRo. but with instructions which do not
in any manner supersede you as the COM
mander of the United States troops in the
field near Santiago SO long as you are able
for duty. Corbin, Adjutant General.

DISPOSITION OF sHAFTER's ARMY.
No Conclusion Reached by the War
Department..

Washington, July 25.-Rumors of various
kinds have been in circulation as to the
disposition of Gen. Skaters army, but
the war department has not come to any
conclusion as yet in the matter. A suffi-
cient force is to be kept at Santiago TO
maintain the position the United States
has taken and to preserve order.
While there is yellow fever infection in
the army no attempt will be made to
bring the troops to the United States. The
war department, It may be stated, is now
bending very effort to secure for Gen.
Skaters army an ample supply of nutri-
tious food, and also will see that the SOL
diers have a rest and careful attention, so
they may get in the very best condition.
The medical corps is now making a care
full examination of the army with a view
of advising the department as to the best
methods of restoring the sick to health and
preventing any further spread of disease.
1t Is not believed at the department that
any large number of troops will be neces-
sary at Santiago after the Spanish prison
ers have been deported.

2ND WON'T GO TO SANTIAGO.
ORDER SHOULD HAVE READ PoRTO
RICO.

First Florida and Fifth Maryland TO
BE in the brigade With the Georgia
BOys-LikeIy to Get Away This
Week-NO Yellow Fever Among
the Fever Patients at Fort Monroe
and None Among Those at Tampa.
New York Regiments Ordered
From Tampa.
Washington July 25.-The war depart
ment woke up this morning to- find it had
made a big mistake in ordering the South
ern regiments to Santiago.
1t was explained that The order was a
mistake of clerk in the office, based on
misnterpretation of an order of Gen.
Miles, and that il should have read Porto
Rico instead of Santiago.
So these three Southern regiments the
Second Georgia, the First Florida and the
Fifth Maryland, are to have a hand in
the Porto Rico campaign after all. For a
time 1t looked as If no Southern troops
would be included In this expedition, and
there was good deal of criticism in con-
sequence. 1t Is believed that this criticism
had a good deal to do with this assign
ment.
1t is not certain when these regiments
win leave Tampa. The understanding is
that they are to go on some of the trans
ports now on their way to Tampa from
Santiago. and that probably means that
they will get away the latter part of this
week. The transports left Santiago on
Friday or Saturday.
Surgeon General Sternberg states to-day
that the most rigid examination of the
fever cases at Fort Monroe shows that
there is no yellow feYer in the lot. There
is a variety of types Of malarial fever, but
no yellow fever. The same report is made
with regard to Tampa but the reports of
illness there are so numerous that there
is strong pressure upon the department
to take the troops not intended for Porto
Rico away at once.
Adjt. Gen Tillinghast of New York was
in consultation with Secretary Alger and
Gen. Corbin to-day, and urged that the
two regiments OF New York troops be
moved at once He stated that the advices
from there showed a large number Of cases
of illness. The necessary orders for the
transfer of these troops to Fernandina
were issued

An Attempt TO Blow Up the Port Vie
tor Frustrated.

New York, July 2.-In a letter to a
prominent officer here, Capt. William c.
Brickley of the refrigeraung and supply
ship Port Victor, says that an attempt was
made to blow up the ship when she was
three days out, He said that a box con-
tanning thirty pounds OF dynamite and gun
cotton was found without any address, on
the main deck OF the steamer. clock
like mechanism had been arranged by
which the explosives were to be set Off.
The Port Victor left New York July II.
The box was made of two and /one-half-
inch lumber. and was jolnted ana grooved.
IL was IS inches high, 20 inches wide and
. feet long.
When the box was opened another box,
made of the same kind of lumber and
nearly as large, was found inside. This
was opened and inside We're found the
dynamite and guncotton. The upper part
OF The inside Of the box was lined with
numerous wires connected with a clock
like mechanism, as described by the cap
tain's letter, though the letter did not
state at what time the mechanism had
been set to be exploded.
Capt Brickley wrole that he and the
steward threw the box overheard: They
did not inform any one else on the ship
of the occurrence with the exception of an
expert officer who examined the machine
for Capt Brickley
The letter contains very few details, and
the description of the machine does moi
give the army officer who received the
letter, a definite idea as to what the
mechanism was like or how It was TO have
been exploded The captain wrote that
the box was aboard the ship when she left
New York, and he said IL must have been
placed aboard her.
The Port Victor Is known as transport
No. 2. She carried 500 tons of Red Cross
stores. as well as a large quantity of sup
plies from the United states commissary
department. AZ Tampa she was to have
taken ON 400 quarters OF fresh beef.
