What the Spaniards Now Demand of Gen Shafter, Before Santiago DeCora, Friday, .via Kingston, July 16. The Span iards haggled considerably over the terms of capitulation. General Shafter said, referring to the situatien: The Spaniards claimed that the surrender must be confirmed by Madrid, I refuse to consider any such contention, for the surrender was complete and ordered by Governor-General Blanco, and was made by Gen; Toral. This morning Gen. Linares sent me a letter beg ging that the Spanish soldiers be permitted to take their side arms back to Spain. lie asked me to intercede with the president, and If possible arrange for the return of their arms to the prisoners after they had surrendered them. "Gen Wheeler suggested that the good faith of the Spaniards be tested. All articles were read and each commissioner in turn asked If they were sat isfactory. When they replied in the afHnnatlve Gen Wheeler asked them to affix their signatures. This they appeared reluctant to do, but could not well refuse. When all had signed the commissioners separated to meet again at 0 30 In the morning. The present municipal authcritties are to continue In control of the city until Spanish troops have -embarked. Fending the sanction of Madrid everything is almost at a standstill, and as a result troops on both sides remain in the trenches. Must Give Up Arms, Washington, July 10.

Spanish Officers Will Retain Their ; Side Arms, Washington, July10 The olfioial terms of tho capitulation of tho Spanish at Santiago arc: The United -States wil transport the Spaniards to Spain. Spanish of ficers will retain their side 'arms, and tho officers and men will retain their personal proprty.

What to Do With Santiago. Washington, July 10. The politi cal status of Santiago, its method of government and administration, is now receiving earnest attention from the authorities hero for the present it Is expected the military authorities will have entire direction of affairs, both In the city and outlying coun try. If the precedent of Manila is followed, in which case General Mer rltt was sent as military governor then a military official will be designa ted to administer affairs at Santiago, But It Is appreciated that tic conditions are quite different at Sau. tlago from those in Manila, as the government has disclaimed the purpose to make territorial acquisition in Cuba, and has directed its efforts thus fur to making Cuba free and placing the Cubans in control. This condition may lead to a consideration of tho expediency of allowing tho Cubans themselves to establish an administration of Santiago, thus giving them an opportunity to try their ability at directing civil affairs, and also giving them a foothold on tho Island. In that event, General Gar cia, belngon the ground, would doubt less figure prominently In tho admin istration, although President Masso and bis cabinet are said to bo In the adjoining province of Puerto Prlnclpo and readily accessible at Santiago. No determination has been reached, so far as can be learned, as to the form of administration until the surrender Itself Is completed, Tho authorities here are not disposed to 6ettlo thedo- talls of questions which naturally will follow the surrender. It Is felt, however, that an Important question of policy hinges on the action at San tiago, as It la the first Cuban territory to be acquired by our .army, and to some extent determination as to its method of civil administration will serve as a precedent for the civil ad ministration of other parts of Cuba hen it is overrun oy our army. "O The President Sends the Thanks of the American People teday: Washington, July 16. Tho following message was sent "To Gen. Shafter, Commander at the Front, Near Santiago. The president of the United States sends to you and your bravo army the profound thanks of the American people for the brilliant achievements attained at Santiago, resulting In the surrender ot the city and ull the Spanish troops and territory under Gen. Toral. Your splendid command endured not only the hardship? and sacri fices Incident to a hard campaign aud battle, but It) the strcs of s hent and Inclement weather, glorlftusly triumphed over serious a obstacles, which would have overcome men less brave and determined. a One and all displajed the must conspicuous gallantry and earned J the gratltudeof the natloo. Tho hearts of the people of'the United States turn with lender sympathy to tho sick and wounded. May i this father of mercy protect- and c unfort them. " (Signed) William MoICinley."

In view of the renewed reports that the French ambassador at Washington had opened peace negotiations, it can be stated auohoritively that thero has been no negotiations or inquiries of any character, relative to peace, either officially or unofficially, direct or Indirect by the French ambassador. It is gathered from high members of the ad ministration that tho president himself is disposed bo moderate in tho de mands and while securing all that United States is fairly entitled to exact from a nation in Spain's distressed condition, ho Is not only disposed to not embark in a world-conquering en terprlso and will not insist upon the re tention of remoto territories that can but bo unserviceable to us.
