Over Seven Hundred Bodies Have
Been Burned at Santiago.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 16.-The
Eighth Illinois arrived this forenoon and
will garrison and police the city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards con-
tinue to be cremated. Over seven hundred
have been burned so far. This afternoon
seventy were TO be burned. Over two rails
dozen bodies are stretched, across them
another dozen and then about thirty corpses
are staked in an immense funeral pile ten
feet high The pile is then saturated with
kerosene and the torch applied. A fall of
rain put out the fire, causing the bodies
to be only half burned Around the pile Law
twenty-five collins containing corpses in a
state of decomposition. Several naked bodies
were strewn upon the ground in a condition
of putrefaction. Altogether about seventy
unburied and unconsumed bodies were there.
The stencil was terrible This happened at
cemetery within the city limits. The au-
thorities and the cemetery officials say it
is impossible to get men to work at the
cremation. Wages of dollar a day proves
no inducement to the natives to work at
this grL esome toll. The unconsumed bodies
will be left until early tomorrow.
when fine weather may help the work of
cremation. These seventy corpses represent
two days dead from the Spanish camp. The
danger to the population from the stencil.
the presence of the buzzards. vultures and
flies is incalculable.

TROUBLE At SANTIAGO CITY
CUBAN THIEF SHOT WHILE STEAL
ING COMMIssARY STORES.
DisOrderIy Immunes Replaced by
vana-End of War Not Regretted.

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.--The War De-
partment, late this afternoon, posted the
following reply to an inquiry from Major
General LaWton, commanding the Depart
ment of Santiago, for instructions as to the
policy to be observed towards the Cubans
that are within his military department:
Replying to your message for instruc-
tions, the President directs that you be in
formed that the United States is RESPONSE
BILE for peace, and must maintain order in
the territory surrendered, and in your de-
partment you must protect all persons and
their property within said jurisdiction. In
terference from any quarter will not be per-
mitted. The Cuban insurgents should be
treated justly and literally, but they with
all others, must recognize the military oc-
cupation and authority Of the United States
and the cessation of hostilities proclaimed
by this government You should see the in
surgent leaders and advise them.'
The War Department did not make public
the dispatch from General Lawton, but the
order which General Corbin sent to General
Lawton indicates something of it's nature
General Lawton reports that the Cubans are
encamped about the city. and do not seem
disposed to accept the conditions imposed
by the armistice, and some troubles have
occurred. Secretary Alger, in speaking of
the matter to-day said that it might as we'll
be fully understood that the United States
would control the surrendered territory and
that it would manage the affairs of that
territory. Those who remained within the
jurisdiction would have to obey the laws
and officers of the United States as Gen.
Ldwton was informed.
Secretary Alger and other members of the
Cabinet took occasion to-day to deny the
truth of the reports current in Cuba of an
agreement to dsband the Cuban insurgents
and for the United States to pay them off
in the interest of promoting peaceful condi-
tions Of the islands. The proposition, it is
stated, would not be entertained by this
government. and, it is further suggested
such an action would require legislative
sanction in an act of Congress.

FELL WITH GRAND STAND
EIGHT HUNDRED MERRY MAKERS
THROWN TO THE GROUND.
Thirty People Injured, but None Fa-
taIly-The Structure Was Weak
and Greatly Overweighted.

CISNA PARK, Ill, Aug. 16.-The fun and
merriment at the reunion of the old set
tiers at this city to-day were suddenly in
terrupted by an accident in which thirty
of the merrymakers were injured. AS
game of ball was in progress in the after
noon the temporary grand stand collapsed.
Eight hundred persons went down in the
wreck and the groans and shrieks of the
injured were heartrending. All of those hurt
will recover, however. Some were only
slightly bruised or scratched. 1t seemed
marvellous that none was instantly killed.
Some of the injured are:
ARGO, Miss Mary, of Hoopeston, back
injured.
CARTMEL, Miss Hattie, of Milford hurt

RANToN, Mrs. of Cisna Park. leg

A crowd Of 5000 people from Iroquois, Ver-
million, Kankakee and adjoining counties
crowded on the temporary grand stand,
which had only been erected for the occa-
sion. The seats were filled in a few mo-
ments. but this did not prevent thers from
crOWding in the aisIeS of the gallery and oc-
cupying every available inch of space. The
tremendous weight overstrained the beams
and the grand stand gave way. A warning
cry was uttered. and this precipitated the
accident. A rush of persons trying to get
off the grand stand brought the weight in
one spot and the whole structure collapsed.
Eight hundred persons fell with the broken
beams. and their cries of pain changed the
aspect of the reunion. Men, women and
children struggled to free themselves from
each other and from the splintered beams.
Bones were broken or crushed under falling
beams, but those injured will recover.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 3.-The Ca
slno Espanol, or Spanish club. in Santiago
much frequented by the Spanish officers has
for some time boasted gramaphone. which
was source of JOY and delight to the CLUB
members before the capitulation. Strangely
enough, through the long nights Of the
siege the favorite piece of music which they
were in the. habit of having repeated four
or five times an evening was THE Star
spangled Banner" which greatly pleased
their musical souls, although they were en-
tirely ignorant Of it's origin or significance.
AS fate would decree. on the morning of
July II, when the American flag was hoistad
over the governors palace. the regimental
band of the Sixth Cavalry played with the
utmost enthusiastic gusto the self-same air
whose full meaning broke upon the assem-
bled Spaniards. with no little discontinue
to their already rufied feelings.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Hong-K Kong cor

the reticence of the officers and crew of

attitude of the Germans has provoked a
deal of feeling here, and some suspicion as
to the real object of their secretiveness

sented at Manila. The Kaiserin Augusta

mo consistent story of the fight has ar
rived, but it appears that on Saturday
morning the Spaniards refused to surren-
der. At 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey took the
squadron over from Cavite to the front of
the city. At the same time the American
troops advanced to attack the Spanish
trenches at Malate. A fierce struggle en-
sued. lasting over two hours. The ships
reduced the forts, while the troops carried
the trenches and forced the Spaniards back
into the walled city. where the Spaniards
surrendered.
Governor General August and his fam
lily. by prearrangement, were taken on
board the German cruiser. which steamed at
speed of seventeen knots to Hong-Kong.
1t is supposed that the land forces of both
sides suffered heavily. An American cruiser
with dispatches is expected tomorrow"

DISORDER At SANTIAGO.
Cuban Thief Shot and Immunes Sen
Out of the City.

Out of the City.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 16.-Early
yesterday morning a Cuban was shot by a
sentry who caught him stealing commits
sary stores at the dock. Sunday it was dis
covered that enough goods had been stolen
to mako three carloads, which had been
taken out surrepttiously to the Cubans in
the field The man under suspicion returned
to the wharf at night, evidently with the
intention of continuing his thefts, but he
was warned off. Early yesterday morning
he was again found there. When the SEN
try challenged him he ran, refusing to obey
the order to halt. AS he was likely to es-
cape. the sentry fired and killed him. The
occurrence is regretted by General Wood
and the American officers generally but it
will probably have a salutary effect as
raids on the commissary and the medical
and the Red Cross stores have been alto
gether too frequent to be tolerated any
longer.
The rainy season has now set in, with tor
rents daily. The troops, therefore, are
moved none too soon, as the physicians are
all agreed that the condition of the men
would have been greatly aggravated by the
rain dampness and consequent miasmas.
All rejoice at the prospect Of peace and
an early return home.
General Smarter to-day ordered the Sec
ord Volunteer Regiment of immunes to

MODIFYING THEIR TONE.
Havana Newspapers Less Hostile in

Havana Newspapers Less Hostile I'm
Their AiIusiOns to Americans.
From Spanish Correspondent.
HAVANA, Aug. Is delayed in transmits
sion.) .)-Yesterday Sunday and to-day are
holy days of the blessed Virgin and the
churches, theaters and parks have been
crowded with people, the city having it's old
time normal aspect. Everywhere, in the
cafes and on the streets. the conditions of
peace are still the subject of anxious in
quiry as thus far nothing definite is known.
The various reports received are made the
subject of thousand comments, each man
suiting his own desire or whim 1t is no
ticeable, however, that the former rough
ness of tone that characterized the Havana
press in all allusions to America and Ameri-
cans has disappeared, although these jour-
nails still protect their dignity and reassert
their love toward the mother country.
The Spanish residents in Cuba have con-
Quoted themselves with exemplary discre-
ton since the report was received of the
signing Of the protocol. Havana is tranquil
and its people are turning their attention
to their daily vocations in the hope of re-
trieving partly the losses sustained during
the period of the insurrecton and war;
Their present temper is a guarantee that
there has been no symptom of fanatical dis
turbance. 1t is safe to say wherever the
conditions of peace are discussed the opin-
ion is freely expressed. at least by those
who realize the Importance of maintaining
order, that under existing conditions an
nexation to any other government would be
the best solution of the problem.
General Blanco declines to grant inter-
views to newspaper correspondents on the
situation considering that to do so would
be untimely and improper, especially under
existing conditions.
Senior Fernandez de Castro civil governor
of Havana, who has always actively sup
ported the free kitchens in the city, sue

gagements with the insurgents bear date

Americans Had the Advantage in
Men and Guns.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Manila corre-
ing Saturday says:
Nothing could be more humane than the
Americans capture of the town. General
Merritt and Admiral Dewey's plan was to
and the trenches. Apparently the American
losses were extremely small The Spanish
entrenchments varied in point of distance
from two to four miles from the center of
old Manila. Defending this long line of at
least ten miles were not over, and probably
under, five thousand Spanish regular troops,
volunteers and natives. About half that
number were in the hospital The attack
ing force numbered from ten thousand to
twenty thousand natives and ten thousand
Americans. on shore and aboard the fleet.
In every respect the advantage was on the
side Of the attack. The American field guns
threw heavier metal and had longer range
than the Spanish, the craftsmanship of the
United States gunners was much superior
to that of the Spaniards, and the men were
stronger and in better condition. The Span
iards are a small race compared with their
stalwart opponents, and worn out by a
hundred days siege and disappointed by the
failure to arrive of the promised Spanish
relief squadron. they had lost heart. 1t was
hopeless struggle.
Looking over the bay it was curious to
notice that the foreign fleets arranged
themselves according to their sympathies.
The English and Japanese were near the
Americans and the Germans and French on
the opposite sides of the bay, north of the
Pasig river. The British cruiser immortal
ite and her consorts kept fairly near the
American line. The attacking squadron
formed in line between Malate and old Ma
Mia, with the Concord watching the fort
at the mouth of the Pasig The American
fleet lay outside the breakwater.
1.-The Olympia fired the first shot at 9:4o
and a fairly continuous but by no means
furious cannonade was kept up until 11:20

which lay close to the shore, were far more
terrible in their effects than was the rak-

Resistance to the American attack was
impossible. The First Colorado Regiment
was the earliest to charge the Spaniards
who retired to the second line, but, soon
outnumbered they were forced into the old
city. part of Malate suffered severely
from the bombardment. The vaunted in

Spanish commander, convinced that fur

white flag at $780, and the order to cease
firing was Immediately issued in the center
of the town, but in the outskirts street
fighting continued for some time afterwards
between the rebels ard Spanards.

to the conduct of insurgents. AS 1 write

of fortif1cations and works of defense to re-
move all mines, cables and electrical ap-
paratus connected Herewith in the harbors
and rivers of the United States as rapidly
as the work can be performed with regard
to safety. These orders are supplementary
to those issued few weeks ago Immediately
after the destruction OF the Spanish fleet at
Santiago for the removal of certain SUBJ
marine mines in various harbors alleged to
be dangerous interference with commerce.
The original orders merely contemplated
the temporary removal of the mines with

and electrical working apparatus on shore.
the idea being to leave them in such con-
dition that they could be speedily restored IN
case Of an emergency. Now. however, that
there is no longer any prospect of renewal
of hostilities with Spain or of any trouble
with any other nation. the War Department
has deemed it safe ana expedient to remove
entirely all the submarine defenses OF the
coast lines of the United States.
