NOT PERMITTED TO RETAIN ARMB-
The war department has just
postel a lettsr from Gen. Toral
written last night to Gen. Shaf
ter, expressing his desire to ca
pitulate. The letter makes the
request to allow the Spanish ar
my to “retain their arms and
return them to the army.”
General Corbin in speaking
about this said that this letter
was the first written by General
Toral and the conditions were
refused by the president. He
said: “The terms of surrender
distinctly stated the Span
ish troops should libVretain their
arms .”
This letter just posted, is
probably not the last one given
by Gen. Toral when he surren
dered last night, but the one
sent yeste day afternoon and
the full details in regard to the
surrender are yet to come.
Gen. Corbin said : “There
should he no mistake. Santiago
has surrendered and the troops
do not retain their arms. We
agreed to c mvey them to Spain
and not to enter the city until
the troops embark. The surren
der on their part is absolutely
unconditional. ”

has endured not only the hard
ships and sacrifices incident to
campaign and battle, but
in stress of heat and weather has
triumphed over obstacles w h
would have overcome men less
brave and determined. One and
all have displayed the most con
spicuous gallantry and earned
the gratitude of the nation. The
hearts of the people turn with
tender sympathy to the sick and

GEN. BLANCO SUBJECTED TO CEN
SORSHIP.
Capt.‘-Gen. Blanco at Havana,
will be deprived of all means of
communication with this gov
ernment at Madrid except
through a strict censor when
the American army formally
takes possession of Santiago.
There can be no doubt on this
question, as Gen Shafter will
uirect immediately on taking
charge of the city that American
operators be placed in the tele
graph office there. The signal
officials will maintain a censor
ship of writing that is offered
fcr transmission from Hava la
over the cables leading to Hayti,
or Jamaica, and nothing will be
permitted to be sent which is in
any way injurious to the inter
ests of this government.
