Offer Made to Spaniards.


Upon receiving this. on the nth OF
July. General Shafter sent the follow
ing communication to the commander
in chief of the Spanish forces:
HEADQUARTERS of Fifth Army Corps
Camp Near Santiago de Cuba, July II,
lS9S-Sir: With the largely increased
forces which have come TO me and the
fact that l have the line OF retreat
securely in my hands, the time seems
fitting that I should again demand of
your excellency the surrender of San
.tiago and of your eXcellency's army.
l am authorized to state that, should
YOUR excellency so desire, the govern
ment of the United States will trans
port the entire command of your ex-
cellency to Spain. I have the honor to
be, very respectfully, your obedient
servant,
WILLIAM r. SKATER,
Major General Commanding
"To which the commander replied:
Santiago de Cuba, July II. 1885,
Sir: ! have the honor to advise your
eXcellency that your communication OF
this date is received, and in reply de-
sire 10 confirm that which ! said in my
former communication, also TO advise
YOU that / have communicated your
proposition to the general in chief. Re
iterating my sentiments. i am your re-
spectful servant, JOSE TORAL,
q Commander in Chief, Fourth Corps,
g.. and Military Governor of Santiago.
Plan Was Carried Out.
Immediately upon the surrender.
steps were taken 10 carry out the
pledges of the United States govern
ment to ship the Spaniards home. the
ouartermaster's department immedi-
ately advertised for bids to transport
the prisoners to Spain, with the result
that eight of the ocean transportation
companies submitted a combined bid,
which was for officers S110 and for en-
listed men $50 per capita, steamers TO
be dispatched from Santiago de Cuba
within forty-eight hours OF their re-
ported arrival, or demurraSe to be paid
at the rate of go cents per capita per
day. same demurrage to be paid if
steamers be detained at place of de-
barkation by quarantine or other cause.
The Spanish transatlantic company $
bid was s55 per capita for officers and
800 for enlisted men, with no demur-
rage. The Spanish company's bid was
accepted. the rations for the prisoners
were inspected by a United States gov
eminent official. and this government
paid for the transportation of all the
prisoners $513.S60. The same number
carried by the other companies under
their bid would have cost the govern
ment 81. 312, SIS. Here was $S00,000 saved
TO the United States. and probably as
rr.uch more in Gemurrage.
sSone days after this contract was
awarded the president said to me, as
entered the cabinet room, Mr.. Secre-
tary, would you like TO hear something
favorable to you, printed in the New
York Times?' and went on to read the
editorial comment complimentary 10

plan of transporting the Spaniards
back to Spain"

Washington, July 2S.-Secretary AL
ger has always felt a pardonable pride
in the success with which the war de-
partment met the tremendous problem
thrust upon it by the necessity with
which it was suddenly confronted dur
ing the war with Spain, of suddenly
disposing of thousands of Spanish pris-
oners captured in Santiago province.
The history of that time has not been
fully told and it remained for Secretary
Alger today to supply the need by the
following bit of "reminiscences:
ION the night of July 8, 1898, the pres
ident asked me what in my judgment
We should do with the Spanish prison
ers Of Santiago after their: capture. The
matter had received very much thought
from the president and myself, but no
definite conclusion had been reached. 1
then suggested to the president that
Galveston, Tex, would be the best place
in the United States, in my Judgment,
where we could send them; that it was
away from the coast line travel; a good
harbor; that there would be plenty of
room for camping them, and that its
climate would be as nearly similar to
that OF Santiago as we could probably
select. This seemed to meet his APP
prevail, as it was only a question or
time. of course, when their capture
would be effected.
The Idea Struck Him.
81 went to my home, as nearly as
can remember, about o'clock In the
morning, and being too tired to sleep, L
lay awake for a while, but finally dozed
off. / awoke at daybreak and my frst
thought was concerning the Spanish
prisoners, and the new idea came to my
mead, Why not send them back to
Spain?'
This thought so deeply impressed me
that l formulated my plan and on the
morning of July 10, instead of going to
the department direct, / went to the
White House and laid the new plan
before the president, saying that 1t
would be an unprecedented procedure
and a most gracious act; that to trans
port the prisoners to Galveston would
be half the distance; that we should
have to clothe, shelter, guard and feed
them there, and no doubt have to ship
them back to Spain in the end. l also
stated that / believed it would be
great inducement to the Spaniards to
surrender. which General Shafter after
wards assured me was the effect The
president readily approved the plan,
and on the same day L cabled General
Shafter as follows:
War Department, July 10, 1898.
General Shafter. Playa Del Este, San
tiago. Cuba.-Should the Spaniards sur
render Internationally and wish to re-
turn TO Spain, they will be sent back
direct at the expense of the United
States Government.

~ Secretary of War
