Off Aguadores, July 14, ( p. n., via Port Antonio, July 15.-Santiago do Cuba % ai surrendered today. Menaced by the American forces on lan( and son, disheartoned by past dofoats and without hope of victory, General Toral yield his city to save his peoplO. With the final stroko of the Span ish General's pen, the only strong hold in the province of Santiago hus fallen and the power of Spain in eastern Cuba is crushed. The victory is greater than ap peared at first. All the Spanish troops in the Fourth corps, the mil itary division of Santiago province, from a line drawn north from Asse raderos, eighteen miles west of San tiago, through Los Palmas Sorin, Alcantaza, to Sagua do Tanamo, on the north coast and eastward to Cape Maysi, are surrendered and the torritory is abandoned. Between 18,000 and 20,000 .Span ish prisoners are taken, about 10,000 of whom are in Santiago. The re mainder are at Guantanamo and others are garr'soned in the towns of eastern Cuba. All these troops are to be embarked and sont bank to Spain under parole. OENEIIAr sHHAArr TALKS OPT1H. VICTORY. General Shafi.r bears his honors modestly. To a correspondent of the Associated Press he said: "The enemy has surrendered all the territory and troops east of San tiago. The terms woro dictatel from Washingon. It has boen a hard campaign, one of the htrdest I over saw. The difliculties to contend with were very great. Never during our civil war were more difficult prob loms solved. The character of the country and the roads made it seem almost impossible but to advance in the face of the enemy. The trans portation problem was hard, but all the difficulties have boon successfully surmounted. Our troops have bo. haved gallantly. They fought like heroes, and I am prond to have corn mnanded them. During all the hard ship they have suffered they have shown resolution and spirit. They deserve to conquer. "The resistence of the enemy htts been exceedingly stubborn. Genoral Toral hats proven himself to be a foeman worthy of anty man's steel. Tho negotiations which culiminatedi in the surrender of General T1oral - nve been dragging on.for ten days, the intermission of Sunday anid I ~y, when our batteries and fleet ~~Wded the enemy's posit in. ~ughout these periods of truce, General Tioral has shrowvdly la~tyted for time, alwvay.s dleclinling 'to surroni decr uncondlitionlally and1( falling baieck when hard prossodl, upon the sutto. meat that ho was simphlly a sub,or. dinate and powerless to) agree to thio proposals without the sanct ion of hiis superiors, except und(er penalty or being courtmartialed.

TIiE END CAME SWiFTLY AND UNEX'.CT I.- 1)IV. 'hio end camto swiftly and unex petodly. The Situtiago Campaign, With its deeds of splendid daring and (lark with the record of slaugh to'', had boon believed by many mon high in rank to have only just b. gun. The refusal of the Spanish to surrendor has been so emphatic and so recent that both army and navy had forsaken the idea of victory without further bloodshed, and noon today had boon sot for the final and desperato assault upon the stubborn defonsos of the city. That its fortifientions wore strong and that its forces wore bravo all know, and today had boon looked forward to as likely to be the blood iost in the history of tho campaign; and, when soon after 2 o'clock this afternoon Admiral Sampson received by signal the nows that General Toral had surrendored, the admiral and his oficors scarcely credited tihe story. When Gonoral Toral on Monday last refused absolutely to consider the torms of unconditional surrender and when General Shafter announced negotiations at an end, it was be lioved that the taking of the city without further fighting was anl im possibility. The artillery of the Federal forces was ordered to be rushed to the front., the investing ine was extended to the town con pletely and every preparation was made for the final assault. Acting under instructions from Washington, however, General Shaf tor again proposed surrender, and at a conference yestordlty at which General Miles and General Toral were present, it was proposed to al low the Spanish officers to retain their side arms and the American commander offered to return the do foated army to Spain under convoy and parole. The story of the conference has already boon tofd. General Toral's announcement that the matter would have to be referred to his government convinced the majority of the oflicers at headquarters that nothing further would como of the negotiations and an order was issuod to prepare for a general attack at 1)oon today, at which hour the extended armistice expired. The men at the front mado overy preparation for bat ilo, the fleet gath ored around the little bay of Aguad o'yi to'hurl shells over the hill and into the city, and the combined American forces qjuietly and1( grimly awaited the word of General Miles. Btut wvhile all thiose preparations were going forwvard 0Gonoral Shafter and1( General Miles were still hard at work in) an attempt to avoid1 lie slanghter which miust follow an at tack.

Fred O' , of Charlotte, v. C., does not think that, this is necessarily so, andi it a iLter to the .1ornal of ('ommerco and Comtme r'ial l lletit gives his exporience with wheattt and cotton. Mr. Oliver says ho had culti vat,ed cotton on 200 acres of land for live years past, raising from three- tuar tors of a balo to a bale to the acre. I le had 51) acres in corn wh ich produced 25 bushels per, aele. To prodtcie It Is cotton crop iM r.( )I i vetr used $10 worth of fort,ilizer to the acre, and as ho could grow no other crop on that, land in the sane year he could hardly do more than c(ime out, even at, the presott price of cott.ot. By planting whiat on t,he sane land h could raise in tdditionl to wieast. a crop of corn, cow" pclts, Irish or swee4t, pot+t,ues, 01r peatnuts. A ny one (of t 11tse crops could be harvest,ed in time to plow and NOW the laiid in wheat, the same faill. Last fall Mr. Oliver determined to try his entire 250 acres, which had for years been given up to cott,on and corn, in wheat. lHe wrote ils lotter t.o the New York paper before his wheat had beon htrvestetd, h1u' after it, was mat.ure enough t.o show about whatt, it woul do. lie sat's: "The whole 250 acres of landi etwn Lioned is now in wint.er whet, and as 20.) amres wert'e last 50ltson in ot-tol ti. wheat was very late in being sown. t''ertilizer to the amount of $: per acrt was used and drilled in with the wheat.
