PREPARING TO SEND SPANISH PRISONERS HOME.— GARCIA REPORTED KILLED IN FRONT OF SANTIAGO, July 17, 10 a. m.—Old Glory is now flying over the fortifications, of Santiago. At 9 o’clock this morning the Spanish troops, under com mand of General Toral, left their trenches and marched into the American lines, where, one by one, the regiments laid down their arms. At the same time the Spanish flag was hauled down and the stars and stripes hoisted in its place. The work of loading the Spanish prisoners on transports, preparatory to sending them back to Spain, will be commenced as soon as the ships are provided. The authorities at Washington have been urged to use haste in this matter. It has been suggested to use Spanish transports for this work, fear being expressed that the use of American vessels would result in rendering them dangerous for use in moving American troops on account of the exposure of the Spanish to yellow fever.
