Spanish Troops at Other Places Sur render to Lieutenant Miley—Credit for the Taking of Santiago Belongs Entirely to General Shatter. Miles was Simply a Visitor. (Copyright. 1SD8, by AMOclr.ted 11-ms ) Santiago de Cuba, July 25.— Everything here is peaceful. The 7,000 Spanish soldiers at Guan. tanamo laid down their arms to day. The 3,350 from Palma So rina, San Luis and Longo surren dered yesterday to Lieut. Miley, and to-day pack trains with pro- visions were sent them. The only others included in the capitulation are 2,000 troops at Btracoa and 1,000 at Sagua. They have not been turned over, but they are nowhere in Gen. Garcia’s vicinity. He isat Jiguany to-day and reached there without encoun tering the Spaniards. Gen. Shatt er authorizes an absolute contra diction of the report that Garcia encountered a force of Spaniards who were returning to Santiago to surrender, and was defeated by them. Col. Ezra P. Ewers of the Ninth infantry, acting for Gen. Shatter will receive the formal surrender of Guantanamo. Yesterday Gen. Shatter released 40 Cubans who had been confined in the local jail on political charges. Indeed, some of them were confined without charges of any character, others On the most trivial pretexts and others solely because of sym- iy with the insurgent cause, le jail is still filled with many and- x- not on record and are^absolute unknown, so far as has yet been ascertained. A general investi gation has been ordered immedi ately. American newspapers which have arrived here contain articles written apparently under a misap prehension of the facts regarding the conduct of the campaign and the dictation of the terms of sur render. Gen. Miles was simply here as a visitor and adviser. In his official capacity he had nothing to do with the terms of the capitu lation, the entire credit for which belongs to Gen. Shafter, who, on July 10 received the following dis patch from Washington, of that date : Gen. Shafter, Sibonty : The secretary of war directs me to inform you that Gen. Miles left here at 10:40 last night for Santia go, but with instructions which do not in any manner supersede you as the commander of the United States troops in the field jiear San tiago so long as you r re able for duty. (Signed,) Corbin, Adjutant General. SHAFTER ON FEVER. More Caaee and One Ueath, Sot He Kesarda It aa Somewhat Improved—Mlapoal- lion of the Army. Washington, July 25—The war departmental 9.15 p. m. posted the following: Santiago, July 25. Adjutant General United States Army, Washington: Number of new fever cases on the 24th inst. about 500. At least 430 returned to duty. Actual figures will be given hereafter. Notwithstanding figures, situation seems somewhat improved. One death. Sergeant J. Larnenn, troop C, Third Cav- alry, yellow fever, Siboney. Shafter, Major General. DISPOSITION OF SHAFTER'S NOT SETTLED. ARMY yet VVashing, July 25.—Rumors of various kinds have been in circula tion as td the disposition of Gen. Shafter’s army, but the war de partment has not come to any con clusion as yet in the matter. A sufficient force is to be kept at Santiago to maintain the position the United States has taken and to preserve order. While there is yellow fever in fection in the army no attempt will be made to bring the troops to the United States. The war depart ment, it may be stated, is now bending every effort to secure for Gen. Shafter’s army an ample sup ply of nutritious food, and also will see that the soldiers have a rest and careful attention so they may get in the very best condition. For Sale.
