SANTIAGO SURRENDERS.
United States will Return Spanish Soldiers to Spain.—Yellow Fever
Amo ng Americans at Santiago.—War News for the \Veek.
Washington, July 14.—The war department has received the fol
lowing din atci’ fron General Miles, written, apparently, before the
final surrender of Santiago at 3 o’clock:
“PJaya del Este, July 14. Before Santiago, July 14.—Secretary
of War, Washington : General Toral has formally surrendered the
troops of his army and division of Santiago on the terms and under
standing that his troops shall be returned to Spain. General Shatter
will appoint commissioners to draw up the conditions and arrange
ments for carrying out the terms of surrender.
“This is very gratifying, and General Shatter and the officers and
men of this command are entitled to great credit for their sincerety
and forth o' hi c-v« no . iiug the almost insuperable obstacles which
they encountered.
“A portion of the army has been iufected with yellow fever, and
efforts will bo made to separate those who are infected and those free
from it, and to keep those who are still on board ship separated from
those on shore. Arrangements will be immediately made for carry
ing out further instructions of the president and yours.
Nelson A. Miles, Major General of the Army.”
GENERAL SHAFTER SENDS A TELEGRAM.
Washington, July 14.—The Adjutant General received the follow
ing from Playa del Este this afternoon :
“Adjutant General, Washington: Have just returned from in
terview with General Toral. He agrees to surrender upon the basis of
being returned to Spain. This proposition embraces all of eastern
Cuba, from Accerradoros on the south to Sagua on the north via Palma
with practically the fourth army corps. Commissioners meet this
afternoon at 2:80 to definitely arrange the terms.
“Shafter, Major General.”
Off Santiago de Cuba, via Playa
del Estate, July 11.—At 9:30 this
morning after several rarige finding
shots over the ridge protecting
Santiago from the sea, the United
States Cruiser Newark opened fire
into the city with her 8-inch guns.
The Ney York, Brooklyn and
Indiana parcipitatcd in the firing,
at intervals of five minutes.
The bombardment lasted for
two hours, when Gen. Shafter re
ported that the shells were falling
in the bay and doing but little
damage.
The last shot, however, struck a
prominent church in the heart of
the city which was heavily stored
with powder and ammunition,
causing a tremendous explosion.
The extent of the damage is not
yet known.
When the war ships ceased firing
and before Gen. Shafter had begun
a land attack a llag of truce was
seen coming from the city.
The object of tins was not known
at noon when the correspondent
of the Associated Press left the
front.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon the
United Suites auxiliary cruiser,
with Gen. Nelson A. Miles and the'
United States protecting cruiser
Columbia arrived.
Rear Admiral Sampson visited
General Miles immediately on his
arrival, and then the Y"ale w r ent to
Siboney, General Miles and his
personal staff landing in a pouring
rain.
London, July 12.—The Berlin
correspondent of the Standard
says: “The Queen Regent is wil
ling to open peace negotiations
with the United Statet without
any mediation of the Powers, pro
vided the conditions are not too
severe.
“Her concession at present is a
declaration of independence of
Cuba.”
London, July 12.—The Madrid
correspondent of the Times, tele
graphing Monday, says: “Seuor
Sagasta went to the palace today
and tendered his resignation and
that of the cabinet.
“It is said that he advised the
Queen Regent to appoint a new
cabinet, largely consisting of the
military element, which would not
necessarily mean the adoption of a
war-like policy, but probably the
reverse.
“It is generally expected that
the resignation will be excepted,
but the result may possibly be
merely a partial reconstruction of
the cabinet.
“The ministers are nowin coun
cil, and Senor Sagasta has doubt
less communicated to them an ac
count of his audience with the
Queen Regent.
Madrid, July 12—The possibil
ity of peace with the United States
is being widely discussed in the
newspapers and by the public.
The concervative party declare
that Spain is prepared to accept,
peace provided it implies the loss
of Cuba, but they assert that Spain
would prefer to continue the war
if the United States should claim
PortO Rico and the Philippine is
lands, or an immense indemnity,
which it which it would be impos
sible for Spain to pay. The Cor
respondence asserts that Correa
the minister of war, does not disa
gree with the other cabinet min
isters so seriously as is generally
supposed, and in view of the Cuban
situation, it is possible he will no
longer oppose peace, provided the
conditions are not too onerous.
.The public connects the recent
conference between the Duke cie
Rio, Spanish minister of foreign
affairs,and the French ambassador
here, Patenotre, which report that
M. Cambon, at Washington, has
been instructed to ascertain the
lightest conditions upon which
peace is obtainable.
Off Jurugua, Tuesday, via King
ston, July 13.—All negotiations
for the peaceful surrender of San
tiago ends in utter failure today
and the city must fall by the
sword.
Toral, the Spanish commander,
has finally and emphatically de
nied Shatter's request for an un
conditional surrender and the
American army now only awaits
the word to begin the Anal strug
gle.
Just when the attack will be
made depends upon the time which
will ensue before General Ran
dolph can land his batteries at the
front. , ■ *~
Randolph’s movement- began
early this morning and tonight
out of ten batteries only one of the
four guns has succeeded in making
its way over the almost impassi
ble trail to the fronj.
This, with the four batteries
already there is not considered bv
w * ~
the American commander as suffi
cient and' probably twenty-four
hours more will elapse before a
general engagement begins.

Washington, July 14.—General
Brooke has been ordered to Wash
ington to get final orders and in
structions regarding the invasion
of Porto Rico. The expedition is
arranged, and every detail pre
pared for embarking, with the sole
exception as to what troops will be
withdrawn from Santiago.
The troops will leave Tampa
within one week after Santiago
falls, it is said authoritatively this
morning at the war department.
No more troops will be sent to
Cuba save two regiments of im-
munes from New Orleans and Gal
veston. A large part at least off
our troops now in Cuba will be
withdrawn' after Santiago surren
ders.
THE TROOPS AND TERRITORY INCLU
DED IN THE TERMS.
* Playa del Este, Guantanamo
Bay, July 14.—General Toral, com
manding the Spanish forces in
Santiago de Cuba, this morning
sent a communication to General
Shafter indicating his willingness
to accept the terms of surrender
proposed yesterday and asking the
American commander to appoint
commissioners to meet the Spanish
commissioners to arrange to send
the Spanish troops back to Spain.
This will be promptly done.
The surrender of General
Toral not only means the fall of
Santiago, but by the terms of sur
render the whole eastern end of
the island falls into the hand of
the United States without firing a
shot.
The surrender is to include all
the Spanish troops at Santiago,
Guantanamo, Caimera and Guaya,
composing the Fourth corps of the
Spanish army.
The portion of the province of
Santiago de Cuba that Ues east of
the line from Sagua, via Las Pal
mas, to Acerraderos, is surrendered
to the United States.

© Within the next few weeks over one-half of the present &
store will be given over to workmen to remodel and pre- M
/iak pare for a removal of some departments to the new an- d
X nex now being built on Hunter street. This necessitates .Jl
aL stock reducing, and we have decided to make this move-
JL ment one of the greatest opportunities ever afforded
A Georgia buyers for buying the various wares in our line ||
Jk at low prices. Former prices and first cost have not ^
Jak entered into the consideration of the new and inviting ^
wak prices we now name. Large and ample stocks must be
Jak reduced to a mere nothing. That’s the one thought— ^
the one necessity that has had any weight in the making ^
of such absurdly low prices at this time. It’s impossible ^
m to mention every department in an advertisement of this c
^ character, but only to mention a-few of the many things
affected. Where we name one department there are
two, where we name one item there are a dozen. This
sale is now in effect, and should you desire to purchase
anything in the lines of Carpets, Furniture or Dry Goods,
it will richly pay you to write our mail order department
and get further information and prices. We quote a few
here:
Carpet Department.
This department will offer the best values ever given to the trading

you may select in this mammoth stock can surely be had with a large j
