flag sent out from the Spanish lines at
$3.50 a. m. General Toral, acting on
General Blanco's instructions, asked
time to communicate with Madrid, the
surrender of Santiago being too impor-
tant a step to be taken without royal
authority. In the meantime General
Blanco offered to appoint
Joint Commission to Arrange Terms.
General Miles and General Shafter de-
cided to call for personal interview
with General Toral, his message being
ambiguous. They rode out between
the lines shortly before noon and met
General Toral, who said he had re-
ceived a few minutes before authority
from Captain General Blanco to capt..
ulate and to make the work of the
commissioners final. General Toral
named Mr.. Robert Mason, British con.
sui general, and his own (Toral's) chief
of staff. General Shafter and General
Miles named General Wheeler, General
Lawton and Captain Miley of General
Skaters staff. The commission is
now working on the terms of surren-
der. The news was received with en-.
th1siasm in the American lines. The
American warships are expected to pass
under the guns of Ell Moro during the
evening and will command the town
from the upper bay.

MOST IMPRESSIVE SCENE.

Incidents of the Flag Raising at Santi-
ago-McKibbin Military Governor.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1S,-The
American flag is floating over the gov
ernor's palace. General McKibbon
has been appointed 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 forever in the minds of all the
Americans present. Across the Plaza
del Refine, where the castle is located,
was drawn up the Ninth infantry,
headed by the Sixth cavalry band. In
the street facing the palace stood a
picked troop of the Second cavalry,
with drawn sabres, under command of
Captain Brett. Massed on the stone
tagging between the band and the line
of horsemen were the brigade COM
manders of
General Skaters Divisions,
with their stats. On the red tiled
roof of the palace stood Captain Nc.
Kittrick, Lieutenant Miley and Lieu.
tenant Wheeler, Immediately above
them upon the Flagstaff the illuminated
Spanish arms and the legend, "Viva
Alfonso Kill" All about, pressing
against the veranda rails, crowding to
windows and doors and lining the
roofs, were the people of the town,
principally women and noncombatants.
As the chimes of the old cathedral rang
out the hour of - the infantry and
cavalry presented arms. Every Amer.
lean uncovered and Captain McKit-
trick hoisted the Stars and Stripes.
As the brilliant folds unfurled in q
gentle breeze against a feckless sky
the cavalry band broke into the strains
of "The Star Spangled Banner" max.
ing the American pulse leap and the
American heart thrill with Joy. At
the same instant the sound of the dis
tant booming of Captain Capron's bat
terry, firing
Salute OF Fwenty-one Guns,
drifted in. When the music ceased,
from all directions around our line
came floating across the plaza the
strains of regimental bands an the
muff1ed, hoarse cheers of our tr oops
The infantry came to "order arms"
O moment later, after the flag was up,
and the band played "Rally Round the
Flag, Boys" Instantly General Nc
Kibbin called for three cheers for Gen.
srol Shafter. which were given with
great enthusiasm, the band playing
''The Stars and Stripes Forever"
The ceremony over, General Shafter
and his staff returned to the American
lines, leaving the city in the possession
of the municipal authorities, subject to
the control of General McKibbin.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

The Citizens Fire Association is Steadily
Growing in Strength and Popularity.
Less than four years since it was Or
ganized, and having largely overcome
the strong opposition Of the older in
surance companies and the natural
prejudices which the public entertain
against new and untried organiza-
tion, the Citizens Fire Association Of
Mankato has proven it's right to live
and prosper, and demonstrated it's
ability to save money to it's policy
holders and at the same time pay ev-
cry loss and other obligations prompt
ly and in full.
From the day it issued it's first poll
cy down to the present time it has
met with gratifying increase of bust
ness. Being mutual company, where
every policy holder is member, the
profits of the business belong to the
individual members. They are mu-
tually interested in the success of the
association, and besides getting their
own Insurance at cost, they can aid
their neighbors to do likewise by lit
tie solicitation.
Since the first day of the present
year the association, besides giving
it's members perfectly safe fire insur
ance at from Is to Is per cent less
than the eXhorbitant rates charged
by board companies, has distributed
in cash to it's policy holders dividends
to the amount of 81, 447.2S, and has a
cash balance on hand to their credit
of S7,127 As, which will be paid over
from time to time as it becomes due.
1t is thus shown that every member
of the association is participant in
the profits of the business, and at all
times safely insured against loss by
fire.
The expenses of the association are
kept down to the lowest possible level,
and it's management is vested in a
board of directors composed of some
of the best, and most successful bust
ness men in Mankato, whose con-
serYatism is at once guarantee that
the interests of all will be conserved
to the best purpose. The secretary,
Mr.. II. B. Perrin, is gentleman of
thorough business training, land under
his personal supervision, the details
of the business are carefully looked
after.
The field now covered is extensive.
The territory in which the associa-
tion does most of it's business is the
very best in the state, and it's mem
bership includes the very best men
with desirable risks.
If you want to save money, insure
with the Citizens Fire Association.

ORDER FOR HEARING AND NOTICE OF
APPLICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT
OF ADMINISTRATOR.
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1898-06-23

IF the managers of the Portland
exposition would kindly indicate,
in the letters being sent out to
country publishers through the
state requesting free advertising
for the affair, the amount of money
they expect to spend with the Ore
gonian for like service, it would
doubtless make the country jakes
feel better. It's great scheme
for Portland. Country papers
advertise the show free, country
people patronize it for cash, and
Portland people divide the ''swag."
It has worked in this and other
states in the past and it viii work
again. Yes, it's a good scheme,
and it will doubtless be a good
show.
