TERMS OF THE SURRENDER OF SPANISH TROOPS IN CUBA
A Santiago dispatch reports the terms of surrender for Spanish forces under General Toral. About 20,000 refugees from Caney and Siboney are to be moved back into the city, with American infantry patrolling surrounding roads and one hospital corps tending Spanish sick and wounded. All troops in the province except General Luques’ Holguin force will surrender and city defenses pass to American control. The Jaragua railway will be under American access, and Spaniards will be transported home by American ships, allowed to take portable church property. Archbishops and clergy once appealed for safe convoy but were advised to return. Spaniards must surrender arms. Additional items mention a commission to adjust Canadian disputes and a Porto Rico expedition under General Miles with Brooke assisting. Lieutenant Blandin, deck officer of the Maine, dies from shock.
