The Spanish troops will be marched out of the city as pris- oners of war and their arms will be delivered to Gen. Shafter. 3 This information was posted at the War Department to-night and cheered by all Washington. While it was known earlier thay Gen. Toral had surrendered unconditionally, the announcement that an hour had been set for the formal carrying out of the sr render was joyful tidings. Transports will be sent to Cuba as fast as they can be secured to convey the conquered troops to Spain. It is estimated that it will cost about one and a quarter million dollars to transport the Spanish prisoners to Spain.

WASHINGTON, July 16.—Twenty-five thousand Spaniards in the provines of Santiago de Cuba (1000 officers and 24,000 men) have surrendered to the Amefi-e can troops now before the besieged city and will be sent home. They will not be permitted to take their arms. Secretary Alger stated positively to-day after Gen.

Toral, as was left to the option of the United States Government to make disposition of & arms carried by the troops, after they had been laid doun.
