IB II 1 1 Shafter Hoped That the Matter Would be Settled Yesterday Troops Under Command of Toral Number 25,000 The City Threatened With a Water Famine. vtgk, D. C, July .15. This cablegram was received at t Piava Wjh;n:'ton v. :;v July 4 5 Headquaxters neai Santiago. Adjutant General, : I sent you several telegrams yesterday, as did General in regard to the surrender. General Toral agreed yesterday posi to surrender all the forces under his command in eastern Cuba the distinct understanding that they were to be sent to Spain by the l ulled States ; that this surrender was authorized by Blanco, and that its submission tomorrow was merely formal. Commissioners to arnr.-e derails were appointed Wheeler, Lawton arid Miley upon the part of the United States, Points were immediately raised by the Span ish commissioners. The discussion lasted until 10 'dock last night. Mv commissioners thought the matter would be settled today, and met. at :i0 this morning. General Miles was present and said the surrender was as absolute a: J complete as possib'e. It cannot be possible that there win be failure mpleting the arrangements. There are about 12,000!troops in the city, and about as many more e grounding district 25,000 in all to be transported. A water famine in the city is imminent. We have cut the supply. v.: told Lieutenant Miley by the English commissioner. Will wire frequently when negotiations are progressing. (Signed) Shafter. ToraJ's Troops Were on Verge of Starvation. DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS ANXIOUS YELLOW KM I GAMP Physicians Say There Is no Reason for a Scare In This Country Ref ugees Will Be Sent Back to Santiago- Sibbney, Thursday, July 14- Prepar ations are already under way by Gen eral Mile for the invasion of Porto Rico. It la tuw known that Toral rurren dered' because his army was n the rersre of starvation. Ha was alBo In fluenced by the destruction of Cer vtrd sauadron. The American army will not enter the city until the Spaniards eradiate It, which will he some weeks perhaps The condition of the army is serious, and Dr. W. E. Parker, in charge of fever patients, states officially today that & great many soldiers are down with malarial fever. Yellow fever cases number about 300, and some deaths have occurred from it- Everv effort is being made to isolate patients .both at the front and at Siboney. Thus far efforts have been successful, but am bulances bearing stricken soldiers can be seen passing constantly to the hos pital which is on the hillside. The conference which led to the sur render took place beneath a cotton wood tree, a Quarter mile in advance of cAlr lines. The American represen tatives were Miles, Shafter, Miley, aide to CoU Marion Maus, and Capt. Mc Pittfick The Spanish representatives were Toral, Col. Valesquez, British Vice Consul Mason and CoL Mendoza, iTitor-nrtitpr. General Miles wore an ! plain blue uniform. The other Amerl- jan officers wore linen. Toral and Valesquea glittered in gold lace. Toral omitteH At rmre that his case was hopeless. He, however, attempted to Impose conditions, but Miles peremptQr !ilty said that surrender must be uncon ditional. However, as a concession to I Spanish , pride he agreed that officers.) should be allowed to wear side arms. The arrangement to transport Toral' e annr to Spain proposed by General ! Miles Is a good plan to dispose of the armv. which would have caused our government a great deal of trouble if Isent to the United States. J Medical authorities declare that there 'is no need of a yeHow fever scare in the United States. The sick have; at tention of skillful physicians and the best nurses obtainable, while the quar antine camp is in a healthful location. Cuban refugees will be sent back to Santiago, and the army will be freed from danger of contagion from that source. Hitherto it was impossible to keep refugees from mingling with the I troops. The city will be purified and a rigid tfuaxanUne established before our i troops will go Into the city. SPANISH COAST ALARMED. Trouble Anticipated From Visit of Watson's Squadron. . Madrid, July 15.

The greatest benefit of the surrender o our oldiers is that it permits them to get out of the pestilential trenches soaked with rain into dry and health ful spots.

The army would resist to the last, but the government cannot con sent to such useless sacrifice. We are now making it our duty to ascertain the condi tions the United States will grant.
