Jubilation, which lasted all night. The Conference. This morning there was a reaction of feeling over a report that the Spanish contemplated treachery and that they were parleying slmnly to gain time. Our commissioners to arrange peace— Generals Wheeler and Lawton and Lieut. Miley—went to the place of the conference with many misgivings as to the result. The Spanish commissioners—General Kzarlel, Colonel Fontaine and Mr. Ma son, vice consul —were waiting. After a pleasant greetimg the party sat down and proceeded to business. The terms of surrender are that the 20.000 refu gees at Caney and Siboney ate to be turned back Into the city. An Ameri can Infantry patrol is to be posted In the rounds surrounding the city and In the country between the American cav alry will patrol. Our hospital corps is to give attention to any possible sick and wounded among the Spanish sol diers in Santiago. All the Spanish troops in the province, except General Lugue's 10.000 at Holguin, are to come to the city to surrender. The guns and defences of the city are to be turned over to the Americans in good condi tion. The Americans are to have full use of the Juragua railway, which be lcr.gs to the Spanish government. All the Spaniards are to be conveyed home by American secured transports with the least possible delay and they are permitted to take portable church prop erty with them. This concession is in teresting because at the first threat by the Americans to bombard the city the archbishops, priests and nuns came out and demanded a safe convoy. They v.ere told to go back and point out to the Spanish the foolishness of further resistance. The Spanish are to surren der their arms. They Are Hemmed and Hawed. The conditions were lengthily discuss ed. The Spanish commissioners were HERALD WANT ADS ENJOY THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.

By the terms of the surrender twen ty-five thousand :< anlards lay down their arms, and submit to being taken home—a thing unheard at in history. While he is satisfied that the surren der is genuine, General Shatter will take no chances. He directed General Garcia, after the signing of the agree ment, to look out for any Spanish re inforcements. The returning of the Spaniards to Spain is a serious proposition on ac count of the scarcity of transports, but the difficulty will be overcome somehow and ttelr removal begun at once. The only soldiers in Santiago province not included in the surrender are one thou sand at Holguin under the command of General Luque, but I hey have no food trains and ore not feared by Gen eral Shafter. General Shafter declared today that intended to keep some of the Spanish authorities who belong to tbe autonomist government in charge of Santiago of ter the evacuation. The Cubans declare this to be n mistake. They say the officials are unfriendly to the United States, and if they remain in power the Cubans will not enter Santiago and live under rule. General Garcia will confer tomorrow with Generr.i Shafter In regard to the Spanish officials. The American offi cers think that In case of an approval of the terms of the surrender by the Madrid government it will take a fortnight to embark the soldiers. In the meantime the American troops will remain in the hills-where Santiago will be properly looked after. Not Until Fall. The doctors adyise that to prevent fe ver the larger part cf our troops should be sent home until fall. They ear the climate here.

There has not been a case of sickness since the murines have been in Guan tanamo. The news of the surrender was received by the fleet from the army. Messages were wigwagged to Sampson. Everyone of the shirts of the fleet has volunteered to be the first to enter the harbor and the small ships have plead ed for the honor. The Bed-Cross steamer, State of Tex es, will he th> ■ first to go Into the city. If the Madrid government agtees to the terms of surrender,she will go right ahead. Nothing is known as to (he mo ving of our troops or of the next expe dition. The officers on Shatter's staff say it may be weeks before sny such movement may take place.

On- com missioners were invited to ent * the city, but, at the very outside, a hitch occurred, owing to a misunderstanding of whot was said at a personal inter view between Shafter and Torai at noon. At that time, our interpreter, translating the language General To rai had given General Shafter, Miles and Wheeler distinctly to understand that Blanco had consented that the commissioners should have plenary powers to negotiate the terms of sur render. Something was said about no tification to tbi- Madrid government, but General Shafter insisted that the capitulation had actually- -been agreed to and no further consent of the Mad rid government was required.

The consent of the Madrid government, they Insisted, was still necessary; hut. at the same time, they claimed strongly that it would tor forthcoming. This was extremely un satisfactory to our commissioners, who, clung tenaciously to the understanding that General Shafter had received ear lier in the day. Finally, with the ques tion still open, they proceeded to the consideration of the preliminaries.. Captain Miley had drawn up thirteen articles of a general nature end these were submitted, to General Total per sonally. He made a strrng appeal that the word "capitulation” be used in stead of "surrender." ond his army be allowed to march out, the officers with side arms and the men with small arms. He said that the army would afterwards be sent to Spain either on the same ships with the troops or on other ships. His Further Remark. General Torai further remarked that he expected our commissioners, as a brave and chivalrous people, wotild not humiliate the army or make It appear to have been vanquished. As brave men, his men desired to go home with honor. They simply yielded to superior force and they prefer dying to going home without honor. Our commission ers could not resist the appeal, but said it lay beyond the terms laid down by the government, and they could only recOmmend the matter to, Washington. A recess was taken until 9:30. The commmlsslonera returned, at that hour and the articles were again gone over. Various changes in the verbiage,which tended only t® soften the,sound of the tefms, without (affecting the sense,were prdpesed by Ohr Spaniards and accept ed.

Sprin Yields. [Special to The Herald.] Washington, July 16. Madrid has yielded and the surrender of Santiago Is complete. That Is the understand ing based on Shafter’s short cable and the letter of Torai. Secretary Alger says no timfe will riow he lost in moving on Porto Rico.

Washington, July 16.—Surgeon Gen eral Wyman of the Marino hospital ser vice, says there Is not a single case of yellow fever in this country, as far as he knows, and no preparations are making to receive yellow fever pa tients. His understanding is that Gen. Alger will noon order the two compa nies of soldiers now at Tortilgas, off the Florida coast, to some other point and this place will then revert to the marine hospital service, in whose cus tody is was before the war broke out.

Newark, N. J., July 16. Augustus Keller of this city is one of the gun ners aboard the battleship Indiana. In a letter to his brother Charles he claims the distinction of having fired the first shot in the naval battle off Santiago, a sheil fiotn one of the for ward thriteenrinch guns. fteller said a thirteen-inch shell froM his vessel went clear through one of the torpedo bouts and I hen exploded, sending the boat to tbe bottom. Towards the end of the battle, he writes, when it was seen that tbe Vlscaya was almost de feated, the sailors In his turret scratch ed on one of the shells in big letters, Remember the Maine. It was then run into the breech and the gun care fully sighted. Everyone was expectant as to tbe result of the shot. When tbe lanyard was palled, Keller says, the big shell was seen to strike the stern of the Viscaya. tearing it to pieces and setting the vessel on fire. HORRIBLE STATE.
