after losing the philippines and puerto rico, which had also been invaded by the united states, and with no hope of holding on to cuba, spain sued for peace on 17 july 1898. on 12 august, the u.s. and spain signed a protocol of peace, in which spain agreed to relinquish all claim of sovereignty over and title of cuba. on 10 december 1898, the u.s. and spain signed the formal treaty of paris, recognizing continuing u. s. military occupation. although the cubans had participated in the liberation efforts, the united states prevented cuba from sending representatives to the paris peace talks or signing the treaty, which set no time limit for u.s. occupation and excluded the isle of pines from cuba. although the u.s. president had no objection to cuba's eventual independence, u.s. general william r. shafter refused to allow cuban general calixto garcía and his rebel forces to participate in the surrender ceremonies in santiago de cuba.
