Old Glory Floats In Triumph Over the
Ancient Battiements of the Spanish
Town-Gen. McKibbon In Control.
SANTIAGO DE. CUBA, July 1s.-The
American flag is floating in triumph
over the governors palace at Santiago
de Cuba. Gen. McKibben has been APP
pointed temporary military governor
The ceremony of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost A vast concourse
OF 10000 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that will live for
ever in the minds of all the Americans
present. A finer stage setting for a
dramatic episode it would be difficult
to imagine. The palace, a picturesque
old dwelling in the Moorish style of
architecture, faces the Plaza de la
Reina, the principal public square
Opposite rises the imposing Catholic
cathedral. On one side is a quaint,
brilliantly-painted building, with
broad verandahs-the club of San Car
los-on the other, building of much
the same description, is the Cafe de la
Venus.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood picked troops of the
Second cavalry with drawn sabers, un-
der command of Capt, Brett. Massed
on the stone tagging between the
band and the line of horsemen were
the brigade commanders of Gen.
Skaters division with their stats.
On the red tiled roof of the palace
stood Capt McKittrick, Lieut.. Miley
and Lieut.. Wheeler, Immediately above
them, upon the flagstaff. the illum-
mated Spanish arms and the legend
"Viva Alfonso Kill"
All about, pressing against the ver-
andah rails, crowding to windows and
doors and lining the roofs, were the
people of the town, principally
women and noncomb atants. As
the chimes of the old cathe-
dral rang out the hour of 1e the in
fantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American uncovered; and Capt.
McKittrick hoisted the Stars and
Stripes. AS the brilliant folds un-
furled in gentle breeze against a
feckless sky, the cavalry band broke
into the strains of 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" making the American pulse
leap and the American heart throb
with JOY.
At the same instant the sound of the
distant booming of Capt. Capron's bat
terry, firing salute of 81 guns, drifted
in.
When the music ceased, from all di-
rections around our line came floating
across the plaza the strains OF the regi-
mental bands and the muffled, hoarse
cheers OF our troops.
The infantry came to "order arms"
moment later, after the flag was up,
and the band played Rally Round the
Flag, Boys" Instantly Gen. McKib-
bon called for three cheers for Gen.
Shafter, which were given with great
enthusiasm, the band playing Sousa's
1.-The Stars and Stripes Forever"
The ceremony over, Gen. Shafter and
his staff returned to the American
lines. leaving the city in the possession
of the municipal authorities, subject to
he control of Gen. McKibbon.

Statement About Proposed River

Hon. Marion De Vries, member OF
Congress for this district and candi-
date for reelection on the fusion tick
ct, is in Sacramento, making the ac-
quaintance of our citizens.
In a conversation yesterday Mr.. De
Vries called attention to a mfsappre-
hension on the part of some of the
newspapers in regard to the report
filed last week by General John M
Wilson, Chief of Engineers, U. S. A
In that report General Wilson gave
the usual estimate for snagging, etc.
on the rivers, and named $25, 600 as
the amount needed for this purpose
on the Sacramento and Feather Riv-
ers. Some of the papers have stated
that this is all that is recommended
for the Improvement of the Sacra-
mento River This is an error The
matter of the improvement of the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin Rivers is in
the hands of commission, headed by
Colonel Sutter, who states that it's re-
port will be forthcoming in December
Aside from that report there has al
ready been recommended an appropria-
ton of S2S1 600, which will be acted
upon at the coming short session of
