Before Santiago, July Z, per the Asso-
ciated Press Dispatch Boat Dauntless, via
Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica,
July S.-One secret of the determination
of the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to
fight to the death was the belief which
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans would
be put to the sword. 1t is known that
after the fall of Ell Caney on July the
Spanish soldiers who escaped along the
foothills marched directly into General
Garcia's men, posted to the north of San
