ANOTHER
SPANIARDS AT GUANTANAMO
LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS.
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.

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.

was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: “I was in a most
dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow, even sunken, tongue

growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunately, a friend advised trying
“Electric Bitters;” and to my
gieat joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for
three weeks, and am now a well
man I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of another
victim,” No one should fail to try
them. Only 50 cents per bottle at

The life of one who has left his

William E. Gladstone, has been is
sued.
Here follows an extract from
the author’s preface:
Hence, the life and public ser
vices of the Grand Old Man can
not fail to be of intense interest to
all, particularly to the English,
because he has repeatedly occupied
the highest position under the
sovereign of England, to the Irish
whether Protestant or Catholic,
north or sonth, because of his ad
vocacy of (Reforms) for Ireland;
to the Scotch because of his Scot-
ish descent; to the German be
cause be reminds them of their
own great chancellor, the Unifier
of Germany, Prince Bismarck;
and to the American because he
was ever the champion of freedom;
and as there Las been erected in
Westminster Abbey a tablet to the
memory of Lord Howe, so will the
American people enshrine in their
hearts, among the greatest of the
great, the memory of William
Ewart Gladstone.
