Gen. Ludlow had given me the sword
and spurs taken from the body of Gen.
Nara del Rey, who had been killed in
the defense of Ell Caney, and requested
me to give them to Gen. Toral. During
the Interview prior to the declaration OF
surrender, l handed Gen. Toral the
sword, informing him of the circum-
stances and the request from the Off
Ger who had secured it that it be taken
back by Gen. del Rey's companions to
ms home in Spain, and given to his
fam1ly. The presentation of these arti-
cles was entirely unexpected by Gen.

In fact, he could hardly speak, as his
emotions nearly overpowered him. H

were equally surprised and gratifed.
