General Shafter reported by cable
Sunday that the condition of the troops
at Santiago was rapidly Improving,
and said he hoped In the course of ft
day or two to hive them all located In
comfortable camps, where they may
rest and recuperate, and where the
sick may recover. He Is feeding 11,000
of the Spanish prisoners of war, and
although he has not been able to fur
nish them tent yet. this dellclency Is
being made good, and meanwhile their
present condition Is no worse In this
rtsiect than was their condition before
the surrender. The General makes no
mtntlon of the alleged letter from Gar
cia to himself nor does he speak of any
friction between them, whence the de
partment has come to doubt the au
thenticity of published stories on these
subjects.
In his report to the wsr department
relative to conditions st Santiago,
Ornernl Shafter has thrown some light
upon the tlllllcultles In which certain
of the newspaper correspondents thero
have Involved themselves. From his
report It would appear that animated
by an ambition lit take a prominent

few of the correspondent were guilty

realising that Ignorance of military
law was the explanation of the action,
contented himself with expelling that
correspondent from Cuba.

declared that these correspondents

while they lay In the trenches. He ad

Arrangements practically were con

day for the transportation of the Span

Spain.
The contract was awarded to- the
Spanish Transatlnntloue Company, re
presented by J. M. Cebballos & Co., of
New York. The company agrees to
carry the prisoners from Cuban ports
to Spain at the rate or izo lor eacn en
listed man and $56 for each commission
ed officer, subsistence to be furnished
bv the company on the army ration
basis, as provided for In the govern
ment's advertisement for bids.
The award provides also that the
romcanf shall have five ships at Ban
tlaao in nine days from the 21st Inst.,
two In seventeen dayl ana enough to
complete the transportation of the
prisoners In twenty-one days.
On the basis of 24.000 enlisted men
and l.Ool) Ameers, it will cost the gov
ernment $535,000 to transport the pris
oners.
The shins will fly the colors or Spain
and will be manned, probably entirely,
by Spanish crews. It was remarked as
one of the curious developments of the

should enter Into a friendly contract
with a company, many of whose vessels
