Santiago, July 23, via Kingston, Ja-
' maica, Julv 24.-—General .Shafter has
sent the following letter in :reply to the
communication addressed to him by
General Garcia, in which .the\ Cuban
leader complained of the treatment ac-
corded to the Cubans and announced
the withdrawal of his troops from fur-
ther co-operation with the Ameri—
cans. ;
“I must say that I was very much
surprised at the receipt of your letter
this morning, and regret exceedingly
that you should regard yourself as in
any way slighted or aggrieved.
“You will remember the fact that I
invited you to accompany me into the
town of Santiago to witness the surren-
, der, which you declined.
“This war, as you know, is between
. the United States and Spain, and it is
‘ out of the question for me to take any
f~ action in regard to your forces in con-
? nection with the surrender, which was
made solely to the American army.

tinuing in power temporarily the per-

'tions received by me yesterday from
the president, which appear to cover
everything that can possibly arise in
:the government of this territory while
‘it is held by the United States.
“Full credit has been given to you
and your valiant men in my report to
my government, and I wish to acknowl-
edge to you the great and valuable as-
sistance you‘rendered during the cam-
paign. '
“‘I regret very much to know of your
determination to withdraw yourself
from this vicinity. I remain yours very
sincerely, SHAFTER,
' Major General.
General Garcia has Withdrawn his
troops from the vicinity of the city.
Moderate Cubans dread the accession
to power of the Cubans as much as the
Spaniards do. President McKinley’s
proclamation announcing that property
rights would be respected and the law
enforced has produced a feeling of re-
lief among the Spaniards, who feared
the confiscation of their. property. A
eat -m'any Spaniards will remain in
antiago instead of returning to Spain.
The Cuban non-combatants are pre-
paring a petition to President McKin-
ley asking the removal of the Spanish
office holders. They say that the Cu-_
bans were struggling for liberty when
the Americans intervened to expel the
Spaniards. Hence all of the Spanish
authorities should be excluded. '
Brigadier General Leonard Wood for-
merly of the Rough Riders, has enter—
ed upon his duties as military gover-
nor of Santiago, and is giving great sat-
isfaction. . ‘
tors in the suburbs the city is quiet.
Shops are opening, and business gener-
ally is picking up. The Spaniards. both
the soldiery and the civilians, bear no
animosity toward the Americans, but
they speak very bitterly of the Cubans.
The Ninth regular infantry are the only
troops in the city, and they have not
«the slightest difficulty in maintaining
order. The Spanish soldiers are anx-
ious to leave for Spain at the earliest
possible moment. General Toral has
notified the First division to prepare for
embarkation on July 24.‘
The Red Cross supplies have all been
landed from the steamer State of Texas
and are piled up in the customs shed.
[Relief stations and cook houses have
been'established, where all comers are
fed, women and children having pref-
erence. The poor gather in crowds at
these places daily to get their allow-
ance of soup and bread. Food is scarce
in the city and the prices for the same
are very high.
No definite plans for the disposition
of the troops have been given out. All
that is known is that they will' retire
to the hills in the direction of Hblguin.
which place may be attacked. In the
event of an attack upon the place it is
expected that the Spaniards there will
make a stubborn resistance. The sol-
|diers who are accustomed to Indian
warfare are to be retained in Cuba un-
til the trouble is finally settled.
Shipload of Troops for Manila.
San Francisco, July 25.--The'trans-
port Rio de Janeiro, carrying two bat-
talions of the First South Dakota vol:
unteers, recruits for the Utah light ar-
tillery and a detachment of the Signal
Corps, with General Otis, passed out
through the Golden Gate Saturday
morning on the way to Manila.
The steamer St. Paul may get away
in five days and she will be foil-owed by
the Scandia and Arizona. No troops
have been chosen for these ships, but,‘
following the policy of General Otis, re-
cruits of the different regiments already
at Manila will be sent first.
J
First New York to Sail for Honolulu.
Washington, July 25.--The _war de-
partment expects that the troops des-
tined for garrison duty in Honolulu
will sail from San Francisco early next
week. The preparations for departure
have been nearly completed. In all
probability General Merriam will go to
Hawaii, either with the troops or on
another vessel, 8. little later. The mili-
tary force bound for Hawaii consists
of the First New York volunteers.
Returning to Santiago.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 25.-—The
Royal Mail steamship Dee, which sail-
ed from this port yesterday with a.
large number of refugees on board re-
turningto Santiago. .
This is the first batch of, refugees
that have returned since the capituia-
tion of Santiago, but there are thous-
ands of others who will follow as soon
as they are able to do so. -

Santiago deCub'a, July 23.
Adjutant General Washington:
Colonel of engineers, Spanish army,
just arrived from Guantanamo. He
heard from French consul that San-
tiago had surrendered and that they
had been included. Not crediting it,
he was sent here to verify the fact.
They will be glad to accept terms of
surrender; very short of rations, and
I shall have to begin feeding them at
once. He tells me there are 6,000 men
at that place. Am now feeding 6,000
well prisoners here and 1,600 sick in
hospital. Expect 2,000 men in to-morrow
from San Luis and Palm'as.
Will send an officer to-morrow ‘or
next day, with one of General Toral’s,
to receive surrender at Guantanamo.
and then go to Sagua. and Barracoa
and receive the surrender. there. Think
the number of prisoners will be fully
up to the estimate, 22,000 or 23,000.

Adjutant General of the Army, Wash-
ington: ,
Lieutenant Miley has returned from
San Luis and Palma Soriano, where
he went four days ago to receive the
surrender of Spanish troops.
The number surrendered was larger
than General Toral reported-~3,005
Spanish troops and 350 volunteer guer-
illas. Volunteers gave up their arms
and gave parole and have gone back to
work.
Three thousand stands of arms were
turned in, loaded on ox carts and star-
ted to the railroads. Spanish troops
accompanied him to San Luis, and all,
apparently greatly delighted at pros-
pects of returning home.
They were on the verge of starvation
and I have to send them rations to-
morrow. If the numbers keep up as
they have there will be about 24,000 to
ship away--nearly 12,000 here, 3,000 from
San Luis, 6,000 from Guantanamo and
over 2,000 at Sagua and Baracoa.

THE RELIEF ARRIVES
She “Brought Some of the \Vorst Cases
Among the Wounded at Santiago.
New York, July 25.--That finest of
hospital ships, the Relief, arrived at l
quarantine Saturday at 4 p. m., bear-
ing 125 wounded officers and men from
Santiago. She left Cuba at 7 p. m- on
July 19 and made a speedy and pleasant
trip, lasting three days and twenty-
one hours. Dr. Doty, health oflicer of
the port, went on board at once upon
her arrival and expressed himself as
much pleased with the condition of
affair-son the ship. , .
“Plenty of everything,” said he, “was
to be found there. Cleanilinen, clean
beds, doctors and nurses in attendance,
and every comfort that human ingenu-
ity could devise for'invalids was there
in abundance. Surgeon General Stern-
berg is to be complimented on'his.,w0rk
in fitting out such a floating hospi-
tal.”
The Relief left this port three weeks
ago. She arrived off Siboney on July
2, just when the need for her was
greatest, and since that day her corps
of ten surgeons, six women nurses and
twenty-nine hospital corps attendants,
has been constantly busy. They have
received on board in that time 265
wounded soldiers. Of this number only
thirteen have died. ‘ Others were trans-
ferred to the transports Seneca, the
Hudson and to the navy hospital ship
Solace.
Only the worst cases were retained.
Therefore it is that the Relief’s bur-
den of wounded is the heaviest that has
come out of Cuba. Every kind of com—
plicated injury that a Mauser bullet,
a bit of shrapnel shell or the more de-
structive bullets of the machine guns
can inflict, so as to bring the poor vic-
tims to the very threshold of eternity,
is on the Relief.
HAVANA IN NOVEMBER
A Vigorous Campaign is Being Prepared
to Capture That Stronghold. ‘
Washington, D. 0., July 25.--Although
it is hoped by the administration that
Spain will sue for peace after the sur-
render of Porto Rico, the officials are
planning a most aggressive land and
naval campaign against the Spanish.
If no overtures for peace are made
after the fall of Porto Rico an army
will be prepared for Cuba and Ha-.
vana.
This army ‘will not, however, begin
its campaign before the last of October
or the first of November.
In the meanwhile the war will be
carried on upon the high seas by the
fleet commanded by Commodore Wat-
son. - -- .. . .
_ Tampa Troops Sail.
Tampa, July'25.--The Porto Rico ex-
pedition sailed'Saturday. It consisted
of five troopships and carried about
4,000 men and immense quantities of all
kinds of stores: ‘It is doubtful if the
expedition wouldlhave sailed for sev-
eral days had it not been for the per-
emptory orders received: from Wash-
ington Friday night 'to start at once.
The long delay' in .the preparation of
the expedition seems to have exasper-
ated the officials at the capital.

THE PRESIDENT To centeosoon
Acknowledgment .of Resdlutions Passed
by Confederate Veterans.
Kinley has sent the following letter to
General John B. Gordon in response to
resolutions adopted by the Confederate
veteran association in session at At-
lanta, Ga.: '
_ Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. 0., July 23, 1898.
.Hon. J. B. Gordon, Commander-in-
Chief, U. S. C. V., Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear General Gordon: Your recent
telegram in behalf of the United States
Confederate Veterans was very wel-
come, and I would have written to you
before in acknowledgement excepting
for the unusual demands upon my
time. _
The present war has certainly served
one very useful purpose in completely
obliterating the sectional lines drawn in
the last one. The response to the na-
tion’s call to arms has been equally
spontaneous and patriotic in all parts
of the country. Veterans of the gray
as well ‘as of the blue are now fighting
side by side, winning equal renown.
Their brave deeds and the unequalled
triumphs of our army and navy have
received the gratitude of the people
of the United States.
To have such a hearty commendation
from yourself and your celleagues of
the work of this administration in the
conduct of the war, and the pledge of
whatever support may be needed to
help in bringing it to a successful com-
pletion, is, indeed, most gratifying, and
I thank you, and especially for the
frank and cordial expression of reso-
lutions passed and forwarded to me.
With very kind regards I am, sin-
cerely yours,
WILLIAM McKINLEY.

THE ST. PAUL SAlLS TO-DAY.
She Lacks Forty Men. Will Carry Small
Boats for the Navy.
’ New York, July 25.--The auxiliary
cruiser St. Paul took on coal and wa-
ter yesterday from barges and sailed
for Santiago this morning. Captain
Sigsbee said yesterday that he had
made a request for forty new men and
that. he thought they would be sent
over from the Brooklyn navy yard.
The St. Paul had been short handed
for a long time. She had to leave eight
men at Santiago because they acci-
dentally took a yellow fever patient as
a passenger in a boat they were rowing
and yesterday Captain Sigsbee dis-
missed eight more men because of gen-
eral unfitness for duty.
The St. Paul will carry a big cargo
of medicines and stores to Santiago and
will also take some large cutters and
whale boats for the navy, which may
be used in landing troops at Porto
Rico. »
A Big Ship Ready to Launch;
Bath, Me., July 21-3.--The large ship
Erskine M. Phelps will be launched

all, 330 feet; length of hull, 312 feet;
breadth, 44 feet 2 inches; depth, 25 feet
6 inches; gross tonnage, 3,000; carrying
capacity, 4,600 tons. The ship has four
steel masts, finely finished cabins and
all modern improvements. She will be
ready in one month to enter the Atlan-
tic and Pacific trade. Captain Robert
J. Graham, formerly commander of the
William F. Babcock, will be the com-
mander of the new ship.
ANOTHER FfilZE CAPTURED

Among Blockade Runners.
Key West, Fla” July 25.-—The armed
tug Uncas, which has been cruising
along the eastern end of Cuba, arrived
yesterday morning. She had landed
seven couriers and an expedition under
Captain Pereg, at Cayo Cenfites, with
arms, ammunition, clothes and food for
the insurgents.
She brought in tow the Spanish
sloop Acudita, captured by the cruiser
Mangrove off Cardenas while en route

prize Acudita is in charge of Mate P'e- '
terson of the Mangrove.
Don Carlos Starts for Spain.

During their sojourn in Brussels
Spanish detectives have swarmed on
their track andevery move made was
immediately telegraphed to Madrid.
