THE WASHOUTS.
Delay in the Arrival ef the
 rMailS.

No mail has arrived today owing 10 washouts and the paper mail is now three days behind. Les; night A little letter mail was brought up on D special tr.in run from Benson to the break On the \. N. .S A., but as no mail agent was aboard the special nothing tut ",hrough" letter mall billed for Tombstone arrived.
 The Cause of the n)E- rrival Of mail is due to the fact that over 2OO0 feet of track near Nogales at what is known ss S4bina cany on was cleare d away by the flood and the road bed left in such condition that it will be hard to repair the break short of Q week.
 The train from Nogsles has not yet reached Benson. The special which goes from Benson to the break carries no authorized m.il agent to receive ard open the "n,ixed" mail matter, thus will our full quo's .! mail is delayed until such arrangements are made,
 The hon-arrival of mail today ir doubtless due to another wassiout be- tween Fairbank and Benson as heavy rains fell in that vicinity fast night.

STILL NO MAIL
Washouts Causes no Mail to
 Arrive far Four Days

And still no mail arrived today and yet four days eastern and western
 mali lies at Benson. The trouble is due to heavy washnnts on the x. M. X 4. and tue additional misfortune to
 the company of a wreck to sIecial train run irom Benson to tke break where transfer wss to be made, which further delays matters and it is hard 10 say now when things will again bo running. The special or its last trip was caught on had piece ei road bed which WAS nearly washed out and as Q consequence the train .-es ditcbed. As many hands AS possible arc working day and night repairing the bridges and washed out places and it Is said not until the road Is clear and train from Nogales can reach Benson will there be any mail. Express matter for Tcmbetone was brought down on the A. tS $. F. today but the mail will rema,A in Benson until an an,hor.zed mail agent can receive it and forward.
 How long this state of affairs vii continus is not known. The N. NJ. X A.. who lave the mail carrying contract, are doing all they can and 
 pellsd to bear the inconvenience with patience and Ge consuled in the thought that when tLey do get mail there will be plenty O: It.

how RECEIVED
BY TIE
FLEET,
Hearty Cheers Greet
The News Ofthe
Surrender.

With the feet of Aquadores,
July IA. The news of the sur
render of Santiago reached here
at three o'clock. The end Of
the Santiago campaign with its
splendid record of daring and
great slaughter, was believed by
many officers of high rank to be
Just begun. The refusal Of the
Spaniards to surrender was SO
emphatic and SO recent that all
had forsaken the idea of a peace
full end to the struggle and all
preparations had been made for
a final struggle at noon to day.
That the Notifications OF the
city were strong and the occu
pants brave, all know, and
SIMPSONS officers looked for
ward to the bloodiest engages
ment Of the campaign.
When the report came Of the
surrender, Sam pson and his Of
fcers could scarcely credit it. a $
high noon approached, the
steamer Hist steamed close in
shore awaiting a signal from
General Miles for the attack.
AS one and two o'clock passed
great excitement was manifested
Oh the fleet. At a few minutes
after two O'Clock, the Hist, I'M
der full head of steam, dashed
towards the flagship, displaying
signals as she was pressing on
ward. The Oregon was the first
in the line to make 1.-THE signal
ENEMY has surrendered" Cheer
after cheer burst from the Of
icers on deck and was picked
up and echoed time and time
again by those on the other ves-
sells of the feet.
The surrender of Toral came
in the nick of time, as Sampson
was in a position to drop shells
every two minutes, into the
heart of the city, which would
have been demolished before
night
