CAUGHT FROM SPANISH- Heavy Mortality Reported Among Prisoners. Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 12. —Sunday was observed yester day for the first time since the war terminated, as a day of rest and worship. All the military and civil offices were closed, as were also the ships, and the city’s appearance was unusually quiet. Religious services were held at the palace, and General Lawton, General Wood and other American officers attend ed. This afternoon the correspon ent of the Associated Press vis ited the wrecks of the Spanish cruisers. The work of floating the Infanta Maria Teresa is nearly complete, but the Almir ante Oquendo is not worth the cost of saving. Col. Ray, who returned from Guantanamo yesterday, reports the embarkation of all the Span iards save about eighty under Gen. Pareja. The American au thorities are awaiting the arrival of the San Juan, with about 2,- 000 Spanish troops from Sagua de Tanamo, and Baracoa. The Spaniards will be re embarked on the San Augustin and the San Francisco for Spain. Tomorrow the Bessie and two other vessels will leave for Bara- Ik coa and Sagua de Tanamo, car |F rying supples for the Ameri- qans, Cubans and Spaniards there. ‘ The condition of the Spanish at Guantanamo prior to their departure for Spain was, Col. Ray says, most distressing. The ileath rate was over eighty per day, and Col. Ray believes that more than half will die on the passage. Seventy died on the wharf the day the San Ignacio was loaded, and there is yellow fever among those who remain behind. Col. Ray had tw.o mules killed for fresh meat supplies to the Spaniards. No fresh beef was to be had, and the Spaniards were glad to get the mule meat. The first battalion of C©l. Ray’s regiment has contracted yellow fever from a Spaniard. Sixty cases have broken out. Four hundred Cubans have laid down their arms at Guan tanamo and gone back to work on the plantations near the town. Santiago is now filled with Cuban soldiers from Gen. Cas tillo’s command.

CAMP MAY BE BROKEN And the Commands Moved Away at Once - Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. 1., Sept 12. —The fall of ten degrees in tne temperature which was predicted by the sig nal service came last night, and before midnight the whole camp was shivering. The cold wave was accompanied by a high wind and for several hours du ring the night there seemed to be some danger that many of the tents were blown down. Up to noon today there • was not much sunshine and the raw air was felt keenly by the sol diers who have spent several months in the tropict. However, bright sunshine prevailed all the afternoon and a gentle breeze blew from the sea. 1 he transport Saratoga arriv ed from Santiago this morning with about Biqty members of the signal corps in commane of. Lieut. Col. Fraffk Green, Haif of them were uolunteers from Maine, under Lieut. Col. G. C- Burnell. The Saratoga also brought 250 negro laborers, who were sent to Santiago ’several months ago to act as teamsters, drivers, stevedors, etc. Two of the ne -roes died of molarial fever on < the voyage. Twelve men were sick when the steamer reached here and were taken to the detention hos pital. The members of the sig nal corps aboard were taten to the eetention camp, but the ne groes were not permitted to land here.

The officers and men of the regiment are preparing for the mustering out of the regi- ment. The general belief in camp , Wikog today is that general changes will be seen here before the present week 13 over. Re , ports are Circulating freely that Gen. Miles has assumed the ac tive direction of the afiairs of the camp, and that he intends to have all regular troops moved from here as soon as possible and snt to regular army posts, where they can',live in regular army barracks and be more comfortsble in every way than they can be living in tents on the Eastern end of Long Island, for when the weather becomes much coieer than it is now the troops will undoubtedly suffer here. Gen. Bates, who is new in command of Camp Wikoff, ad mitted today that new orders had been received from Wash ington in regard to the disposi tion of the soldiers here and the general understanding is that they will oh moved away as rap idly as possible.
