SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
As the result of a wound received during the American attack on Santiago, General Linares, the Spanish commandant, had an arm amputated. In consequence of this the duty of discussing the terms of the surrender of Santiago devolved on General Toral, next in command. He met Generals Mile?, Shatter and Wheeler, and agreeded to sur render, on condition that his army was sent to Spain and the officers retained their arms.
