Shafter which declared that he had not near ly enough troops to capture the city, and that bis line had become so thin in many places as to necessitate 9 retreat for four or five miles, These dispatches were more serious in their character than the public bas yet been permitted (o know, and they created positive consternation at the White house, The fourth of Juiy was approaching, and it was feared that a backward movement at that time, however wise it might be, would have @ bad effect upon the conntry. In addition to that it seemed evident from Shafter's reports that if the Spaniards understood the situation they could break through the line at several points and get into the rear of the American army. In this emergency Gen. Miles was summoned hurriedly to the white house and asked for his opinion as to the best method of concentrating Shafter’s army with- out resulting in too much of a back- ward movement. After considering the situation carefully he astonished the president and secretary of war by advising that there be no concentration or re- treat until @ first-class Yankee bluff had been tried and failed. He sug- gested that Shafter should at once demand the surrender of the city, and thus occupy the attention of the Spaniards, utilizing the time to hurry forward the reinforcements. Gen. Miles believed that after being sum- moned to surrender the Spaniards would at least take time for consider- ation and not attempt a sortie, be caused they would be deceived, by the boldness of the demand, into the belief that Shafter was ready to at- tack the city”at once. Gen. Miles’ advice was followed, and Shafter was snrprised to receive, {istead of permission to retreat, or- ders to knock on the gates of Santi ago and demand its unconditional surrender. Fortunately, the bluff was turoed into a complete success by the blundering of Capt. Gen. Blanco, who ordered Cervera to leave the harbor. When the ships were destroyed that memorable Sun- day Shafter was relieved of the dan- ger of their bombardment, and the demand for a surrender, made orig- inally to gain time, became at once a real condition of affairs, and oral was obliged to capitulate. If Cer- vera had remained in the barbor it is probable that Toral would have de- clined to surrender, and Shafter would have either had to withdraw from his position or ho'd it at great danger until he was ready to attack.
