Rubens, counsel for the L.f ave out a translation of the C.-ment as follows: (-On the 6th of June the steamer kmcester brought a communication Ln General Miles, , cotnmander-ln-lZ.t nf the American army.

Palma Soriano, and a tbe 18th I marched to Aserraderos, where I arrived on the 19th at 7:30 a. , having been summoned there to lonfer with the admlial of the Ameri can navy, Bampson. 10 oeciae on m best plan of attacking Santiago de Cuba. This conference took place on board the flagship New Tork. I must bo declare that my object In moving Br forces on Santiago de Cuba and meeting the admiral of the United States navy has been to obey the or Itrt I received from tbe council of gov niment to obey and respect the orders and Instructions of the commanders of tbe American army, on their com mencing operations In the territory under my command. . "On the 20th the commander of the brigade of Ramon.de las Teguas, De sietrio Castillo, ,landd In Aserraderos from Sagua, brought over by an Amer ican man-of-war to receive my orders. A short time after I. was advised that Major General William K. snaiier. commander of the Fifth army corps of the United States army, had landed.to confer with me on the attack by land of Santiago de Cuba.' "After a long conference and after the American general accepted the plan I 1.14 hufnrs him for thft landing: of his troops and to carry out with success the advance on Santiago he returned to the ship. The following day the gen eral of division, Augustin Cebreco, marched toward the west of Cuba with the forces of his division, with the object of preventing the enemy from reinforcing Its garrisons of the coast In that part, and at 8 p. m. a force of 530 men belonging to the division of Bayamo, and commanded by Brigadier General Demetrlo Catillo, was shipped on board an American transport to go to the reinforcement of the brigade of Ramon to protect the landing of the American army and advance on San tiago by the east. These forces landed in Slgua, and they advanced at once on Dalquerl, with their commander, Colonel Carlos Goniales, and with BOO men of the brigade of Ramon, under Brigadier General Catillo. The Span lards. In a great hurry, abandoned Dalquerl, which Catillo occupied as the American navy began to bombard It, but firing was suspended as soon as our flag was hoisted. "The Americans landed their first regiments at Daiquiri and advanced on Flrmeia and Slboney, with the Cuban forces always In the vanguard, they bejngthe first to occupy said village. In Siboney the landing of American troops was continued, while the Cuban forces under Colonel Carlos Oorialez, advancing on Santiago, sustained a se vere encounter with the enemy In Las Qua&lmag, suffering some losses, but Inflicting greater on the Spaniards. "In my conference with Admiral Sampson and Major General Shatter we decided that I should embark with 3,000 men at Aserraderos and land east of Santiago. With this object I sent for the forces at Aguacate (near Pal ma), and on the 26th, at 7 a. m., we began to embark, which operation was finished In the evening. These forces. forming three distinct columns, were respectively under the command of Major ' General Capote, Generals of Divisions Cebreco and Lora and Brig adier General Sanche Hecheverrla, the entire force being under the lm mediate command of Major General Jesus Rabl. "I was on board the Alamo with my Staff and some officers Invited by Gen eral Ludlow,- who had superintended the embarkation. Brigadier General Banches, with a force of 800 men, who embarked first In the steamer Leona, landed at t o'clock d. m. In Siboney. There were already camped the other Cuban forces which had arrived be fore, aa well aa many thousands of the American army. "Perfect fraternity reigned among the Cuban and American soldiers, wp vied with each other In good feelyl On aocount of the scarcity of foodTn the territory In which we were, from the first the .Americans supplied us "with the necessary rations for the sub sistence of our forces. "On the 28th General Shatter and my elf bad completed tbe plan of an at' tack, and I received from hint the order to march on the morrow with my force toward Santiago, which he him elf would do that same day, some regiments an- cannon bavins already advanced. . Xn the extreme vanguard, as right of the fortified Spank oat Soets, was Colonel Carton Goasales, eommanding division of Bayamo, and part Of the brigade of Ramon da las Taguas. '-,. On the 50th I encamped with my force at El Balado, nine miles from Si boney and four and one-half miles from Santiago, where)" General Shatter established his headquarters. At ' I 'clock In the afternoon I received or ders to place myself at Marlanajo, be tween Caney and Ban Juan, to protect against any attack from the enemy the batteries which were going to fir on both points, should the enemy come from Santiago. ' , At the commencement . of the at tack on Santiago there were 15,000 men In the American army. There were 4,000 Cubans under my Immediate orders around the city. At K.S0 In the morning of the first of July I began tbe march toward Marlanajo, and at 7 o'clock I had already occupied the po sitions allotted to me, "At 7 o'clock the American batteries Bred on the fortifications of the hill of San Juan., the Spaniards answering with their artillery. nd shortly after ward Are also commenoed from the bat teriea against El Caney, the garrison of the place answering with heavy fire. At 4 p. m., alter a gallant assault, me Americans took San Juan, Its garrison being either killed or made prisoners. except a few who had escaped to San tiago de Cuba. At 8, after repeated as saults In which the Cuban forces under Major Duany took. part, the Americans occupied El Caney. 1 "The garrison of the village perished mostly In the assaults, and those who escaped died on the Herd, among them Oeneral Vera del Rev, who was al ready fatally wounded. The enemy at tempted to make a sortie from Santi ago, and was repulsed. This day Gen eral Linares, commanding the garrison, was wounded In the trenches of San tiago, and turned his command over to General Toral. "The Americans advanced to the su burbs of the city by the road leading from Caney, the "vanquished being the Cuban forces under Colonel Gonsales. .Our losses the first day of Jaly were about 100, all our forces being under the enemy's fire. - , "General Shatter ordered me to oc cupy the right flank of his army on the advance on Santiago, and I made a night march, camping at 10 o'clock the same night, after ordering some forces almost on to Santiago. "At dawn of the 2d I continued to advance by the right flank toward the north side of the city. General Cabreco going with his division In the vanguard, and at the extreme of the same General Sanches Hecheverrla with his forces. When General Francisco Sanches ad vanced by the railway line on Santiago on the morning of the td. he met four guerillas who fired on our forces, which returned the fire and killed them. Col onel Ferrero. advancing by the right, met and defeated a guerilla band on the hill of Qulntero. occupying the posi tion which we held, as also the height of La Garldad. THirlna- the whole day of the 2d heavy flr was exchanged with the enemy In Santiago, who from the fortifications fired with rifles and guns at our po sltlons. We had ten casualties; This dav the French colony lefUthe. city, accompanied by the ' consul of their country, taking shelter unaer our nag. My forces slept, In tbe positions occur riled, within rifle shot or. me ciiy. . "On the morning of the 3d there was flrini with the cfty. At 10 o'clock the Rn&nlBh navy weighed anchor from tho bay of Santiago, wtiere u naa Deen ir some weeks, and wltmn one nour 11 was destroyed by the American men of war. Admiral Cervera, with his or fleers aad seamen, about euu, escaped to aad west of Santiago, but the Cuban forces on' the coast compelled them to surrender to Colonel Jose canaei arlo Cebreco, who afterward delivered them to the Amerclna navy. Then follows a detailed report of the doings of "our forces" up to the sur render of Santiago, and the statement concludes: The American government has de cided to occupy the city of Santiago at present with two regiments, and as General Miles has not given me orders to co-operate in any further operations I retire with my forces to their respec tive territories."

Eleven Thousand of tbe Prisoners Taken at Santiago t'slte In an Ad dress of Thanks and Prntae to Gen eral Shatter and His Ileroes. - Washington, Aug;. 21 A document entirely unique In tbe annals of war- far was cabled last night to the war department by General Shatter. It Is In the form of a congratulatory far' well address issued to the soldiers of the American army by Pedro Lopes De Castillo, a private Spanish soldier. on behalf of 11,000 Spanish soldiers. No similar document perhaps was ever be tore Issued to a victorious army by a vanquished enemy. The president was moat impressed by the address, and after reading It carefully authorised Its publication. Following is the text of the address, whlcb Is addressed to Gen oral Shatter: ' ' "Sir: The Spanish soldiers who cap! tulated In this place en the 14th of July last, recognizing your high and Just po sltlon, pray that through you all the courageous and noble soldiers under your command may receive our good wishes and farewell which we send them on embarking for our beloved Spain. For this favor, which we have no doubt you will grant, you will gain the everlasting gratitude and consider ation of 11,000 Spanish soldiers who are your most humble servants." Also the following letter addressed to the soldiers of the American army: . "We would not be fulfilling our duty as wull born men, in whose breasts thnj-e Uve gratitude and courtesy, should we embark for our beloved Spain without sending to you our most cordial and sincere good wishes and farewell. We fought you with ardor, wish all our sUength, endeavoring to gpln the victory, but with'out the slightest rancor or hate towards the American nation. We have been van quished by you (so our generals and chiefs Judged In signing the capitula tion), but our surrender and the bloody battles preceding It have left in our souls no place for resentment agalnHt the men who fought us nobly and val iantly. You fought and acted In com pliance with the same call of duty an we, for w all but represent the power of our respective states. "You fought us as men, fare to face, and with great courage, as . before stated, a quality which we had not met with during the three years we have carried on this war against a people without religion, without morals, without conscience and of doubtful origin, who could not confront the enemy, but hidden. Bhot their noble victims from ambus and then Im mediately fled. This was the kind of warfare we had to sustain In this un fortunate land. You have complied ex actly with all the laws and usuages of war as recognized by the armies of the most civilized nations of the world; have given honorable burial to the dead of the vanquished:! have cured their wounded with great humanity: have respected and ..cared for your prisoners and their comfort, and, lastly, to us. whose condUlon web terrible, you have given freely of food, of your stock of medicines and you have honored us with dlHtlnctlon and cour tesy, for after the fighting the two armies mingled with the utmost har mony. "With this high sentiment of ap preciation from us all, these remains but to express our farewell, and with the greatest sincerity we wish you all happiness and health in this land which will no longer belong to our donr Bpaln. but will be yours who have conquered It by force and watered It with your blood, as your conscience called for, under the demand of civilization and humanity. But he descendants of the Congo and,of Guinea, mingled with the blood of unscrupulous Spaniards and of traders ana adventurers, are not able to exercise or enjoy their liberty, for they will find It a burden to comply with the laws which govern civilized communities." AN 00 SEIfSATICH. sport That John R. MeLean Will Alitor MCU7 HW Dayton. O.. Aug. IS. A special from In Cincinnati Ttmes-8tar was repro duced In tbe papers her that John R. McLean would not be represented oy Chairman Dan McConvUle. Lewis O. Bernard or any other of his former lieutenants who are in the Democratic state convention, and the reason tor blm not taking part was said to be due to tbe report that John R. McLean is to succeed General R. A. Alger aa sec retary of war- In McKlnley's cabinet. This caused mora stlramong the dele gates than anything that has been sprung for years, al Ohio conventions. Although Mcljensf was prominently before the last Democratic convention for the presidential nomination, and would have been elected senator, in place of Hanna If the Democrats had carried the legislature last Novemoer, and although his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, was considered a leading ad vocat of Bryan and free stiver, the story shout McLean- probably becoming tbe successor of Alger was believed by many of the delegates. They cited the case of Hayes appointing Keys, southern Democrat, aa his postmaster general, and later of Cleveland making Oresham his secretary of state, and said that McKlnley had appointed Lee, Wheeler and other Democrats to lead ing places and that greater surprises In politics than this had happened. It was conceded If McLean should be come McKlnley's secretary of war, and the Cincinnati Enquirer an adminis tration paper, that It would cauoe a po litical revolution, as McLean and his paper have been the most potential factors in this state, as well as In Kentucky. Indiana and other states tor free silver. Wtille some, delegates are busy de nouncing the story as an ante-convention sensation, and ridiculously ab surd. It is certainly commanding more attention than other matters which are not disputed. Teachers' Earninat!ons. Tho S)tiltl O'ommloiloiierH. Washington, Aug. 23.
