BEFORE TraSOIUtENDER.
General Toral Wanted Hie Soldier to
Retain Their Gun.
Santiago de Cuba, July 18. The week
preceding the surrender of Santiago
was replete with dilatory tactics on the
part of the Spaniards. On Wednesday
of last week General Toral sent out a
reply to General Shatter's second de
mand for the eurender of the city, re
iterating his determination to resist
During the existence of the truce Tor
si's forces were busily engaged In
doubling back his entrenchments and
fixing his guns In the direction from
which he waa threatened.
At a conference later between Gen
erals Toral. Miles, Shelter, Wheeler,
Gllmour, Colonel Morse, Lieutenant
Mlley and Colonel Maus the situation
was placed frankly before General To
ral, and he was offered the alternative
of being sent home with his garrison
or leaving Santiago province. The
only condition imposed was that he
should not destroy the existing forti
fications and should leave his arms be
hind. This later condition the Span
ish general, who does not speak En
glish, explained through his interpre
ter was Impossible. He said the laws
of Spain gave a general no discre
tion. He might abandon a place when
he found It untenable, but he could not
leave Ms arms behind without subject
ing himself to the penalty of being
shot. His government, he said, had
granted him permission to evacuate
Santiago. That was all. Further than
that he could not go.
Thursday General Toral sent a com
munication to General Shatter Indicat
ing his willingness to accept the terms
of surrender proposed and asked the
American commander to appoint com
missioners to meet three Spanish com
missioners to arrange terms of surren
der. The American commissioners ap
pointed were Generals Wheeler and
Lawton and Lieutenant Mlley. The
Spanish commissioners were Robert
Mason, British vice consul, and Gen
eral Escarajao and Colonel Fontaine,
of the Spanish army.
General Shafter had transmitted to
Washington the request of Oeneral To
ral that the Spanish prisoners be al
lowed to return with their arms to
Spain. The reply came In the shape of
positive Instructions to Insist upon- the
Spanish troops laying down their arms,
and to this General Toral was com
pelled to agree.
Our government agrees to transport
all the Spanish prisoners, numbering
26,000, In neutral vessels to Cadis or
some other Spanish port, and to pro
vide them with food pending the em
barkation and during the voyage.

ANOTHER MANILA EXPEDITION.
Firtecnllnndred More Volnnteers Are

Ban Francisco, July 19. Camp Mer
rltt la gradually growing smaller. Yes
terday 1,500 men, representing the First
Montana regiment and 800 recruits for
the First California volunteers, broke
camp and marched to the trannport
steamer' Pennsylvania, which will con
vey them to Manila. The. farewell given

streets, cheered the passing soldiers,
showered them with flowers and passed
them fruits with which to moisten tholr
poarchel Hps, for the sun was very
hot.
The Pennsylvania will probably sari
some trme today. No further troops
have been designated for future Manila
expeditions, and It now seems possible
that some of the trooos here will be
sent east to Join the Invading rmy at
Porto Rfco.
Meanwhile the matter of getting off
the remaining vessels of the Philippine
expedition is consuming the energies of
the forces at army headquarters. The
Bio Janeiro will probably sail on Thurs
day or Friday. The work of loading Is
progressing rapidly. The six months'
medical supplies and two additional
months' supplies for the voyage are
toeing pnt on today. Efforts wlll be
made to get the St. Paul off toy next
Monday and the Scandla, the govern
ment steamer, which win also he used
on this expedition, aa soon aa possible.
Two battalions of the First South Da
kota and the recruits for the Eight
eenth infantry will probably go on the
IUo Janeiro. The remaining battalion,
a South Dakota regiment, the Colorado
and Minnesota recruits and a detach
ment from the Signal corps, will go to

Washington. July 19. After three
days' consultation between the presi
dent. Secretary Alger and General
Brooke, during which there was fre
quent communication with General
Miles at 8ibonev, the details of the
Porto Rlcaa expedition were perfected
and the expedition Itself was gotten
under way. General Miles, with some
artillery and troops, sailing yesterday
for Porto Rico on the converted cruiser
Yale, to be followed quickly by an
army of about 30,000 men.
General Miles leads the way. He had
been promised by the president that
he should go to Porto Rico and th
promise was redeemed when the Yale
headed yesterday from Slboney for
Porto Rico, 800 miles distant. General
Brooke will be the senior officer in
Miles' command, and upon him will
fall the responsibility for the execution
of the details ot his superior's plans.
It Is estimated that General Mllts
should arrive by tomorrow night at the
point selected for the landing, and will
hoist the American- flag at once over
Porto Rlcan soil. The point chosen for
his landing Is kept secret, as the Gen
eral will land before the full body of
the expedition Is at hand, and It Is
consequently not dt-slrable that the
enemy should be able to assemble a
superior force to meet him. The dis
tance from Charleston, where the first
body of troops fo Miles' expedition will
start today, Is more than double the
V distance from Santiago to Porto Rico,
so that the transports which sail from
the former city can scarcely reach Gen
eral Miles before the early part of
next week. Included In the troops which
will sail from Charleston today Is the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment. The
13,000 men at Tampa wll probably go
soon. These Include the Third Pennsyl
vania, the Fifth Matantypd and the Sec
ond New York regiments. General
Brooke will take from Chlckamauga
Park most of the Second and Third
brigades. Including the First and
Fourth Pennsylvania and the Second
and Sixth Ohio.
The purpose of Beorelary Alger Is to
make the Porto Rlcan campaign a
short one. An overwhelming force will
be thrown upon the island, and U is
possible that a bloodless victory win be
achieved when the Spanish become
convinced that they have no reasonable
chance to resist successfully. The ex
pedition Is to comprise 10,000 men at
the start, and it wMI be soon swelled
to 40,000 men, and If necessary to 60,
000 men.
The part whlrh the navy Is to take
in the assault against Porto Rico has
been fully matured. The several trans
port fleets will have with them one or
two auxiliary craft carrying secondary
batteries of six or eight pounders.
Secretary Long said yesterday after
noon that no time hod beeen fixed for
the departure of Admiral Sampson's
Beet for San Juan. As to the naval
plans, he would co-operate In every
.way with the movements of the army.
It Is the general understanding, how
ever, that the navy will rely mainly
on armqred ships for the bombardment
of San Juan, as the big lattleshlps and
monitors afford the beet means of of
fensive warfare, while their armor
belts protect them from saoh fire as
th Sen Juan batteries can bring to
bear. The fortifications there are much
like tho:e of Santiago, with a Morro
Cuatle at the entraaee of the harbor
nnd a number ot lesser fortifications
leading up to the city. These, how
ever, are viewed with less awe since an
examination of the Morro batteries at
Santiago has shown (hem to be an
tiquated and caimtile of little effective
resistance.
The movement of the ships from San
tiago to their new fields of action will
begin at once, and It Is probable that
some of Admiral Sampson's Ships were
detached yesterday and proceeded with
General Miles' first expedition toward
Porto Rico. They will be needed to
cover the debarkation of the troops on
Porto Rlcan soil. The others will fol
low as soon as the full army expedi
tion Is ready to make a landing, when
the attack will begin simultaneously
from land and sea.
