 Near Santiago. Playa:
 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, result Ing in the surrender of the city and all of the Spanish troops and territory under General Toral. Your splendid command has endured not only the hardshlps and sacrifices incident to the campaign and battle, but in stress of heat and weather has triumphed over obstacles which would have overcome men less brave and deter mined. One and all have displayed the most conspicuous 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 them.
 WILLIAM M KINLEY.

The powerful Confederate iron-clad
Tennessee attacked the Hartford
fiercely. Farragut took up his posi-
ton in the port mizzen rigging, the
better TO observe the progress of the
fight and to direct and cheer his men.
Lieutenant Watson, seeing the great
danger to which the intrepid admiral
was exposing himself, procured a rope
and lashed him in his place. In a
letter which Lieutenant Watson wrote
to his mother after the battle, he men-
tions in detail the reckless bravery Of
Farragut, and adds:
"At length I lashed him to the rig
ging with my own hands, having in
vain begged him not to stand in such
an exposed place"
The relations which existed between
Admiral Farragut and his flag lieuten-
ant were of the most afectionate de.
scription. In his official report of the
Mobile battle, Farragut showed what
be thought of young Watson.
Lieutenant Watson" he wrote,
''has been brought to your attention
in former times. He was on the poop
attending to the signals and performed
his duty, as might be expected, thor
oughly. He is scion worthy of the
noble stock he sprang from, and l
commend him to your attention"
