President Mckinley and Secretary r.
A. Alger:
To General Shafter, Commander,
Front, near Santiago: The President of
the United States sends to you and
your brave army the profound thanks
of the American people for the brilliant
achievements at Santiago resulting in
the surrender of the city and all of the
Spanish troops and territory under
General Toral. Your splendid COM
mand has endured not only the hard
ships and sacrifices incident to cam
paign and battle, but in stress of heat
and weather has triumphed over OBJ
stacles which would have overcome
men less brave and determined. One
and all have displayed the most con-
spicuouS gallantry and earned the
gratitude Of the nation. The hearts Of
the people turn with tender sympathy
to the sick and wounded. May the
Father Of mercies protect and comfort
thee. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
To Major General Shafter, Front,
near Santiago, Playa: I cannot ex-
press in words my gratitude to you

been well done. God bless you all.

A Soldiers Sweetheart.

You went the way that the summer
went
On the wings of autumn weather;
A flash of red and roll of drums
NV heart and 1.-The strength" together,
Bound east; but since that, and the
sea between,
Are England's still, and hers only,
There is a home at the other side OF the
world
Shall, the hearts that you leave be
lonely?
And when it is summer the whole year
Where the blues never failing above
you,
You win never forget. were it twice as
bright
True blue of the eyes that love you.
For the soldiers sweetheart follows the
drum
That beats round the world like thunder.
There was never call to arms my dear,
That could tear true souls asunder!
And when Captain Death, on the last pa
rade,
spoken,
Our hearts shall follow your muffied
Nor deem that the links are broken.
For you go the way that all heroes went,
In the track of their deathless muster:
Sword sheathed, sweetheart, and the day
march done,
You shall rest where Gods camp fires
cluster.

dispatch received here from Sagua
La Grande, says that on Friday the
Norwegian steamer Nansen from Car

The tobacco crop in the districts Of

The Austrian warship Maria Teresa
arrived here during the afternoon of
Thursday. While passing Cabanas
fortress the Spanish band ashore played
the Austrian Imperial March, which
was answered from on board the Aus
trian vessel by the band of that ship
playing the Spanish Roya. March The
people assembled on the wharves
greeted the visiting warship enthusi-
astically She saluted the Spanish
flag and the salute was answered from
the Cabanas batteries and from the
guns of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XIII. After the Maria Teresa had
reached her moorings, she hoisted the
French flag and saluted it, the compli-
ment being returned by the French
cruiser D'Estaing. 1t is reported here
that the Americans since the night of
July 14th have ceased attacking Santi-
ago and have again made propositions
to the garrison to capitulate
There are continual rumors that the
beSiegerS and besieged are treating
in regard to the terms Of the capitula-
tion.
Juan Masso Parro the former insur-
gent Brigadier General, who surren-
dered to the Spaniards, and who raised
a brigade of Cubans for the service Of
the Spanish Government, has written a
letter to Captain General Blanco, in
which he says:
AS a result of the loss Of Admiral
Cervera's fleet and other things, write
to say that | have never as much as at
the present time understood how dearly
L love Spain, the country of heroes, of
which 1 am proud of being a son. New
er, as now, have / felt as sorry for hav-
ing fought against her and / also re-
gret, in view Of the great events which
are developing, among them being the
conflict going on around us, that have
not ten lives to lose for Spain instead
of only one. | am willing to sacrifice
the latter for the country which has
been always great and, though at times
unfortunate, always triumphant at the
last moment even when things have
looked the blacklist
In conclusion the former insurgent
Brigadier General says he will be one of
those who will take revenge on the per
fidious Yankees.

NATIVES AND SOLDIERS.

One of the pleasant incidents OF the
visit of the American troops was the
kindly way with which they regarded
the natives.
Especial pains were taken to ascer-
tain the views of the soldiers, as they
moved about the streets, on this sub
iect. So far as we can judge, they did
not class the natives either with
negroes or Indians, but on the whole
placed them on a much higher plane.
Under the circumstances, they were
confined to appearances only in max
ing UP their judgments. 1t was the
general remark of the visiting sol
diers that the natives had kindly,
n1easant and intelligent expression.
some of their remarks when COM
menting on the subject were over
heard. and not a remark was made
that would hurt the feeling of the
most sensitive native.
We are inclined to think that the
general opinion in the United States
is that the natives resemble the In
dams. But if all the American sol
diers who visit this port, agree in
opinion with the boys who left US,
last Saturday, they viii become firm
missionaries who will preach in Amer
lea the attractive features Of the native
character.

We believe that the ethics of civiliz-
ed nations permits them to break their
word, when it is inconvenient to keep
it, and there is no reason why we
should be squeamish about it, in this
case. We are under two obligations,
other to wicked Spain. Are we bound
to keep our obligations to a wicked
man or wicked nation? Have we
the right to reward those cruel Span
iards with virtuous dealings on our
part?
