Tlie illustration mak*s plain the reason for the phrase, "bottled up in Santiago harbor.” The entrance to the harbor is very narrow. In places it is only 300 feet wide in times of peace. On a war tooting, with mines in position, the passage for vessels is reduced to about 100 feet in width. VW Cn*TH A WfW THE AUGUSTA HERALD. lot i Mr vtt. | iijjj tifta tvHKia Bulletins Coming In.

Thtna was much misunderstanding as to the effect of I the Spanish proposition, the adminis tration first believing ii a Spanish I trick to work delay, as before, but it to new construed as looking to*immediate surrender, and arrangements for that are now in progress.

Our authorities as voiced in the dispatches to Shatter by Alger will at tend to the detaila of transporting the Spanish soldiers back to Spam.” AH Wanted News. The news from the front was awai ! ted with the greatest anxiety all the morning. Overshadowing evpn the In terest felt in the condition of the fever patients was the surrender. The dis patches irom Shatter and Miles receiv ed last evening made It evident In the opinion of these officers that the end was mar. It was not, however, until about 11 o'clock that word came from the front that the Spaniards had pro posed a commission to adjust the tcrmß of the surrender. This Is said to be no novelty in warfare and especially in such cases as this where complex con siderations are involved. , : I Propositions Involved. The proposition to move the Span ish army in the province of Santiago, divided, as it, Is, between several towns remote from one another, to secure the emoval of dangerous obstructions In the ports, and to arrange all details for the transportation of this army, in volves so many factors, that considera ble time might very properly be expen ded in adjusting them. In some quar ters it is declared (be Spanish proposi tion is simply another Scheme on the part of Toral to gain time, be being ful ly aware of the uncomfortable and dan a tot Ay a. <aa. gerous position of tha America® r i ii* No Further Timo.

It la presumed that If Toral accepts the mala principle of surrender with [the expectation of being transput ted to Spain with the army, there will lie no objection to the appointment of rotn misslonrrs to edjuet the detaila of the . surrender. A Big Job. 1 An enormous number of transports will be required to carry out our part of the obllgatVin. Sotur idea of the size of the fleet may be gathered from a mere mention of the difficulties which Shafter experienced in lauding In Cuba his first detachment of fifteen thousand men, though be had at Tam pa ail the conveniences of a well equipped American port. It Is rough ly estimated that there are in Santiago province and it ig presumed the terms of surrender will include the whole province no less than 30,000 Spanish soldiers, and to transport these men there will be required no less than forty-five large steamers. Want a Pledge. The Spanish forces Involved in the capitulation of Santiago are not to bo taken hack to Spain In American ves sels unless there Is an official pledge for the safety of our craft and their crews. Alger had no hesitancy iri saying today that he doubted If Spain wanted the prisoners brought hack there, and said if transported in our own vessels without some agreement with the Spanish representatives, Spain would not refrain from seising them. It is a very knotty problem which will be tackled by the commissioners arrang ing the capitulation under the direction of the authorities. The Telegram. The Adjutant General received the following from Playa at 2:30 ‘‘Have just returned from an interview with Torat. He agrees to surrender under the basis of being returned to Spain. This proposition embraces all of Bayern Cuba from Ascerraderos on the south to Saguacm the north, via Palma, with practlcalljt the Fourth army corps. The; j nwntn.»»loners m—t at t:M to definite ly strange terms, (Signed 1 -Shafter, Major General” -At to transporting the prisoners j hack to flpala." said ftereetary Alger. T doubt If Spain wants them, if we | tahe them la our own weasels, they i might seise the teasela.- Manner of Surrender. The Associated Press In sending out | its llrst bulletins today made It appear that the spoplntmeat of commissioner* wa* not srrmtdrr. This mlstakr later! It corrected. As the New i Ork Journal wires The Herald: When s surrender Is made, a joint commission meets and decides the Ae-1 tails as to storage of arms, etc, as sis- i ted above. The government cabled | shnften to accept nothing but uncondi tional surrender and to appoint a com-1 i mission only after the surrender had been made. The Associated Press made their mistake on this. Their Washing ton man may not be very well versed on military usoges. The request of To ral for u commission was prartical.y notice of the surrender. In toe Franco- Prussian war. it was equivalent to sur render, the remainder of the surren der bring spectacular. The commis sion’s work is not to arrange the terms, upon which Toral surrenders, but the details of bow the surrender will take place, the disposition of prisoners, the munitions of war and many other things to guard and prevent treachery on the part of any ultra-Spanieh patri ots.
