Number of Prisoners 'Exceeds the
Strength of Shafter’s Army.

Q UANTITY OF AMMUNITION

Ten Million Roundeof Ammunition Were
Seized at Santiago. Shatter Asks War
Department to Entry Departure of

Immune Regiments. Believed Thai

Military Administration at Santiago
Will Soon Give Way.

Washington, D. 0., July 20.--The war
department received a dispatch from
General Shaffer saying that the roster
of prisoners was handed in yesterday
afternoon by General Toral find that
the total is 22,789 men.

General 'Shafter’s dispatchadded that
the prisoners turned ever to him far
exceeded in numbers the strength of his
own army.

General Shafter has asked the war
department to hurry forward the regi-
ments of immunes for service at Santi-
ago city and vicinity in order that there
may be a. minimuifl’ of danger of furthe
er infection of ' our troops from the
fever which prevails at Santiago.

Secretary Alger deems it probable
that the total number of Spanish sol-
diers who will have to be transported
to Spain will reach 25,000, estimated
by General Shafter as General Toral’s
reports did not cover quite all the .sol-
diers who would be turned over.

The secretary says the military gov-

ernor of Santiago has not been defi--

nitely selected.
Our army captured 10,000,000 rounds
of ammunition at Santiago, so that

:gri't will not need such supplies for some

time.

7: -....General Shatter in a dispatch to the
"war department says he will send ofn-

cers and men to receive the surrender
of garr-isons‘ in the interior amounting
to about 2,000 Spanish soldiers. He will
also send forces to receive the surren-
der of the coast towns of Guantanamo,
Boison, Sagua and Pancinit. Ten thou-
sand stands of arms, he says, were
taken at Santiago.

Some apprehension is expressed here
that the assumption by the United
States government of the control of
affairs at Santiago may lead to trou-
tble with the Cubans. A few days be-
fore the surrender of the city General
Garcia. sent a committeee to General
Shafter informing him that the Cu-
bans had selected a. Cuban named Cas-
tillo for governor of that city.

It is pla , however, from the read-
ing of the pnesident’s order to Shaf-
ter that it will be a long time before
this Cuban officer is allowed to exercise
the functions of governor and it is be-
lieved it is the president's purpose
when the military government he has
just erected gives way to replace it
with a popular government, meaning
thereby a government for Santiago
chosen by the free vote of the people
of Santiago.

Some doubt is expressed as to wheth-
er t-his programme will be entirely ac-
ceptable to that element of the Cuban
party which demands immediate pos-
session of captured territory, but as
the administration is convinced that
this element is neither the most numer-
ous nor respectable in the Cuban cause,
it is' believed their dissatisfaction will
take no more dangerous form than pro-
tests and growls.

It has been suggested that the presi-
dent’s action in the case of Santiago
might be construed by European na-
tions as indicating an intent to disre-
gard the terms of the congressional res-
olution whim precipitated the war, and
to mean a permanent seizure of the is-
lands in behalf of the United States.
This view, however, will not, it is be-
lieved, obtain to any extent among
the representatives of the European na-
tions in the United States, who are
aware of the necessity of some such
action as that adOpted by the presi-
dent in order -to prevent excesses and
lawless extravagance at Santiago.

The ordnance department of the war
department :is considering what to do

' with the large quantity of arms, ammu-

nition, fortification guns and ordnance
stores which have come into the pos-
session of this government through the
surrender of Santiago.

General Shafter reports that about
7,000 Mauser rifles were turned over the
first day and the number will reach
probably 20,000 when the, troops at oth—
er points in the surrendered zone turn
in their guns. The reports made be-
fore the surrender indicated that the
Mausers handled by the Spanish troops
were not in very good condition. The
guns wereall right when furnished, but
the poor care they received, principally
from the volunteers, left many of them
rusty and defective. Ordnance officials
believe, however, that the greater part
of the guns can be put in first class
order.

The Mauser» has a calibre of seven
millimeters, or .2 7-8 of an inch, while
the American gun has a calibre of .3 of
an inch. This difference in calibre

" 'makes it impossible to use American
ammunition in the captured guns.
"surrender also covers a. large stock of

The

ammunition, rifle balls, etc. of the cal-
iber suitable for the Mausers, so that
when the guns are repaired there will
be an ample stock of cartridges to use
in them. The ordnance {bureau is com
si-dering only what shall be done with
the guns if they are utilized by [this
government, as it 'has nothing to do
with the larger question concerning the
ultimate return of the guns to the
Spanish troops. This is a general ques-
tion of governmental policy, but it ap-
pears to be pretty well settled that the
guns will not be returned to the Span-
iards, at least until the war is over.

 

Paymasters 011’ for Santiago.

Washington, July 20.--Nineteen pay-
masters, under the command of Major
Sniffen, have sailed for Santiago to pay
the troops under, General Shafter’s
command. .Four paymasters sail on the
Resolute, from New York, and will have
charge of the funds which will be
transported on this Cruiser. The others
will sail from Tampa. After paying off
at Santiago, the paymasters will pro-
ceed to Porto Rico to pay the troops
lent there.

Decision of the Cabinet Was

Decision

The New York Sun’s cable dispatch
this morning says under date of Ma-
drid, July 20, 2 a. m.:: _

“The council has unanimously agreed
to seek peace. The responsibility for
oapitulation is left to Captain General
Blanco and General T-oral solely.

“It is significant that the censorship

SANTO oommeo’s DESTRUCTION.

 

How the Little Eagle Annihilated the
' Big Liner,

Key West, Fla., July 20.-Confirma-
tion of the report that
transatlantic liner Santo Domingo, of
5,500 tons, was totally destroyed by the
little auxiliary gunboat Eagle on July
12, off Cape Francis, was received here
yesterday. This intelligence was
brought here by the Nashville, which
came up after the attack and found the
Spanish ship burned and smashed on
the reefs.

The affair offers a striking commen-
tary on the difference between Ameri-
can and Spanish spirit. The Santo Do-
mingo had two 5-inch guns mounted
and loaded; her magizenes were open
and it only remained to train her guns
and fire them to blow the little Eagle
.out of the seas. But the latter ship,
with her comparatively feeble battery
of six-pounders, steamed ‘to within two
miles of the enemy and pounded shot
after shot into her hull until she turn-
ed and in a desperate attempt to get
into the narrow channel grounded on
the reef, without having tried to re-
turn the American fire.

Seventy shots were fired by the Ea-
gle, and nearly all took effect. When

steamer came out and took off her offi-
cers and crew. Then the Eagle sent a
crew to board her and there were
shouts of' surprise when the big guns
were diseovered.’ She also carried in
her hold two 12-inch guns.

The cargo was largely of grain and
food supplies. Fifty head of cattle were
penned on the deck. She had been
drawing twenty—four feet of water and
went aground in twenty. The Eagle’s
men decided [that she was too far gone
to be floated and, after shooting the
cattle. they set fire to her and watched
her destruction.

She burned for three days and was

the best steamers of the enemy and
had been used as an auxiliary cruiser.

 

A DISPUTE OVER PRIZES.

 

Gen. Shafter’s Refusal to Surrender Cap-
tured Ships to the Navy.

Santiago de Cuba, July 20.--The ques—
tion has arisen between the army and
navy officers as to the disposition‘ to be
made of the half dozen large Spanish
merchant steamers which were in the
harbor of Santiago at the time of the
surrender. ,

Rear Admiral Sampson arrived in the
city yesterday on the Vixen, and claim-
ed that the steamers were prizes of the
navy. He also was desirous of placing
prize crews on board of them.

General Shafter, however, refused to
recognize Admiral Sampson’s claims.
He declared that the steamers, with
everything else in Santiago 'had sur-
rendered to him. The question, ap-
parently is still undecided. The rear
admiral returned to his flagship with-
out having distributed prize crews am-
ong the merchantmen, and the latter
are still in possession of the army.

Will Not Be Returned.
Washington, July 20.--It is authori-
tatively stated that the surrendered
Spanish arms will not be sent back to
Spain.

CAIMANEE‘A GIVES UP

Yesterday.

SPANISH FLAG LOWERED

About 6000 Troops Made Prisoners of
War. Yellow ' Fever Among Them and
About Two Thirds Only Are Fit for
Service. The Cubans Get Only Con-

tempt from Our Soldiers.

Camp McCalla, July 20.--A launch
from the Marbleh'ead went up the bay
yesterday afternoon to Vertcaya del
Tora, opposite Caimanera, and gave
formal notice to the Spanish comman-
der of the surrender of General Toral’s
troops, together with the conditions of
the capitulation of Santiago. A lim-
ited time was fixed for hauling down
the Spanish flag over Caimanera. The
American officer also gave notice that
if the Spanish gunboat Sandoval was
disabled in any way, or if any arms,
ammunition, public buildings, or bar-
racks at Caimanera or Guantanamo
wel'e destroyed. the Spaniards would
not be treated as prisoners of war. The
flag was hauled down later in the day.

From Spanish sources it is learned
that the total force in Guantanamo and
Caimanera is about 5,000 of which num-
ber, however, only about 3,000 are fit
for service, the others being disabled
by sickness or wounds

To- day a formal surrender has‘ taken
place. What disposition will be made
of the prisoners has not yet been de-
termined, because of the presence of
yellow fever among them. A rigid
quarantine will be maintained, and it
is probable that transports for the re-
moval of the'prisoners will be sent up
the bay and loaded there, instead of
having the prisoners marched down
here.

Strained Relations With Cuban Army.

A fact which is impressed more and
more every day upon the American of-
ficers and men is the increasing strain-
ed relations between the Americans and
General Garcia’s Cuban soldiers. In-
deed the situation has now reached a.
point where there is practically no com-
munication at all between the two ar-
mies and the relations border on those
of hostility rather than the relations
one would suppose would exist between
allies.

So soon as General Shafter announc-
ed his decision not to let the Cuban
junta enter the city of Santiago de
Cuba. deep mutterings were heard am-
ong General Garcia’s men. It wa vi -
dent the Cubans were greatly disap-
pointed at the step taken by the Amer-
ican commander, for they had confi-
dently counted on having Santiago
turned over to them to loot and plun-
der as they had, in succession, sacked
Daiquiri, Siboney and El Caney. Con-
sequently their disappointment was
vkeen'when they ascertained that they
were not to be permitted to take pos-
session of the city upon General To-
ral’s surrender. On Friday last a.
brother of General Demetrius Castillo
went to General Shafter’s headquarters
in order to ascertain the cause of this
order. .

No Cuban or American Soldiers Allowed
to Enter the City.

“Why is Santiago to remain in the
hands of our enemies?” he asked.

“The Spaniards are not our enemies,”
I replied General Shafter. “We are fight-
ing the soldiers of Spain, but we have
3no desire to despoil her citizens. No
' Cuban will be allowed to enter the city
Inor will any American soldier. The
government of the city is a matter for
the people to decide. When the Amer-
ican army leaves it I presume it will
“be turned over to you, but not until
then.”

I The correspondent of the Associated

Press saw a group of Cubans refuse
'point blank to aid in building roads.
and, during the two days’ heavy fight-
ing, while they were loitering in the
rear, our surgeons sought in vain to
secure assistance from them,- even to
cut poles for improvised litters for
our wounded.

Hundreds of such instances are be-
ing told about the camp fires, until the
name-of Cuban is usually wreathed
with camp profanity and very rarely is
a kind word spoken of. them.

i . MADRID HEARS THE NEWS.

 

 

Ofiicial Notification from Blanca Reaches
Spain’s War Department.

Madrid, July .20.--General Correa,
minister of war, has received a dis-
patch from Captain General Blanco at
Havana saying that General Tora’l had
telegraphed from Santiago on Satur-
day rthat the surrender of the city in-
volved all of the troops and war ma-
terial of the Santiago division.

The officers were to retain their arms
and the men and officers their personal
property. General Toral further said
that he was permitted to remove the
official documents and military arch-
ives of the city. The Spanish were to
evacuate with honors of war after lay-
ing down their arms. The sailors were
to be treated in the same manner as
the soldiers.

MANY SOLDIERS POISONED.

, ' Poisoning Ensues.

I Washington, July 20.--Fifty-flve men
belonging to Company A,Twenty-sec-

and Kansas volunteers, at Camp Alger, ‘
