SHAFTER HOLDS TIE STEAMERS.

Santiago. July 1S.-The question has arisen
between Army and Navy officials as to the dl'-
position ~ the half dozen large Spanish mer-
chant steamers which were in the harbor Of
Santiago at the time OF the surrender Rear
Admiral Sampson arrived in the city to-day on
the Vixen and claimed the steamers prizes
Of the Navy. He also was DESTROYS Of placing
prize crews on board Of them.
General Shafter. however. refused TO recognize
Admiral SIMPSONS claims He declared the
steamers. with everything else in Santiago had
surrendered to him. The question apparently
IS still undecided; but at any rate. the Admiral
returned to his flagship without having dis
tributed prize crews among tho merchantmen
and the latter are still in possession Of the
Army.
