surrendered, was first made out from the
bridge of Captain Clark's ship A cheer
burst from the officers on the afterdeck
and it was echoed by the men clustered
forward.
At almost the same instant. the other
ships in the fleet caught the momentous
meaning of the bright colored signal
flags, which flashed at Hist's swaying
masthead and great cheer from a host
OF American throats swept through the
squadron, from ship to ship, while an
swering pennants flow from each vessel
in response to the New Yorks repetition
of the Hist's signals Eventually the
Hist ran alongside the flagship and de-
livered her despatch. 1t contained no de-
tails, being simply a brief message by.
wire to Admiral Sampson from General
Shafter, saying that the enemy had sur
rendered.
The Admiral has not taken an active
part in the negotiations; but. he has been
consulted freely by General Miles and
General Shafter, and undoubtedly he will
be considered in the settlement of the
final details of the surrender. He declined
to discuss the matter further than to ex-
N~-~A~--s7
Santiago was accomplished without
further bloodshed, and to remark that the
terms of the capitulation were not to be
made public for some time.
Within five minutes of the Hist's ar
rival, the signal officers ashore began
sending messages with the wigwag flag
on the Hilltop TO the right of the ravine
in which the ruins of Aguadores' fort lie.
This hill has been selected as the signal
station and from there was telegraphed
to Admiral Sampson a continuation OF the
surrender. This message was as unsat-
isfactory as was the Hist's to the officers
of the fleet, who were anxious to know
the terms Of the surrender and other
details while the wig wagged message
simply set forth the bare statement that
the surrender of Santiago de Cuba had oc-
Cured.
The Iowa was at once ordered to steam
to Moro Castle. evidently being sent to
watch the movements of the men manning
the shore batteries.
General Toral surrendered in the nick
of time, for had the plans of today's bat
tie been carried out the city of Santiago
would have been torn to pieces before

and, although the city was about eight
miles away and hidden by the hills along
the coast, Commodore Sehley announced
that shells could be dropped in the heart
of the town every two minutes for as
long a time as General Shafter thought it
necessary.
Aside from the work of the fleet, seven
batteries of artillery were in position and
so placed that three-inch shells could have
been hurled into the town from all sides
The Spaniards, however, had made care
full preparations and had even erected
barrieades in the streets, ready to fight
to the very last
General Shafter and his officers conf
IDENTIFY expected the American loss to be
heavy if the attempt had to be made to
capture the city by assault, and elaborate
hospital arrangements were made in an
ticipation of such an occurrence, a large
number of tents having been erected at
Siboney since the buildings there were
burned.

ours, accustomed to deal fairly, frankly
and openly in International issues instead
of adopting underhand courses.
Still our government Is satisfied that its
interests are safe in the hands of Admiral
Dewey and is adhering TO its original in
tentfon of allowing him a free hand to
deal with the situation
The State Department posts a bulletin
stating that Admiral Dewey pays high
tribute to the Chinese on board the Am
erican ships at the battle Of Manila, and
suggests that they should receive recog-
milton by being made citizens of the
United States.
Senator Cushman X. Davis, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Foreign Re
iations, arrived home from Washington

from Santiago.
s'It is a great victory for the American
arms, he said .sThe fall Of the city is
a splendid accomplishment and carries
forward finely the operations planned by
our strategic board The result amply
vindicatess the Judgment of our comman-
ders at the front in sparing a conflict
which must have resulted in great loss of
life One half of Cuba has passed from
the Spanish possession beyond dispute
This clears the way for the projected
move upon Porto Rico which ! trust will
begin at once. 1t is perhaps more i'm.
portant in its consequences than the siege
of Santiago. Porto Rico is much more
desirable possession than Cuba, more
healthful and the land is pleasant. 1t
includes 300 square miles, very fruitful
and capable of prosperous development
have no doubt Porto Rico will soon be
ours.
'NVe are entering upon a new era. The
flag will not be lowered from Hawai- and
the fate of the Philippines is linked with
the destiny of the republic This nation
in the near future is to become the lead
ing factor in International politics. We
cannot retreat to our former policy OF
isolation In the domain of the Pacific,
ours is henceforth the paramount power
and we cannot escape the responsibility
The future of an unborn empire of the
west, the furthest west that borders on
the East again, lies in our hands.
II believe we shall be equal to this re-
sponsibility. We can take care of all the
possessions we may acquire and comfort
ably shoulder all the tremendous duties
we may assume. We shall find the neces-
sary resources of craftsmanship, the
qualities of diplomacy. the strength OF
rulership that is our heritage. Tile future
broadens before us in wonderful ways we
could not have foreseen. We may go to
meet its destinies, calm confident, secure
in the might of the nation and the just
ness of its purposes.

In view of the fact that Hon.
Thos. T. Critteden, Of Missouri,
accompanied Mr.. Bryan on his
recent visit to Mexico, the follow
ing letter makes rather interest
ing reading:
Consulate General of the Unit
ed States, City of Mexico-Dear
Sir: have yours, making cert
ain inquiries about labor and
wages in Mexico and the relative
cost obtaining in this country as
compared with the United States.
Wages, skilled and unskilled,
are very low or small here; in
fact, throughout the republic.
The best skilled labor can be had
here, as rule, at from 20 to 81
per day and the ordinary labor
at from 25c to SOC. mean, of
course, the ordinary physical
laborers of the country; and
those men, in Western parlance,
find" or feed" themselves.
Woman loborers, such as house
servants, can be had at from 15c
to zoe per day, paying them be-
sides from &c to 1Oc per day with
which to purchase their daily
rations of pulque, tortillas (pro-
nounced torteeyas) and trifoles
pronounced tree-ho-less).
Pulque is the national drink of
Mexico, drunk by men, women
and children, almost supplanting
water. Tortillas are made of
corn-a kind of big pancake
cooked without a crust on piece
of sheet-iron over charcoal. Tri-
foles are Of boiled bran, thorough
~ cooked, which, with the pulque
and tortillas, make very good
summer meal-enough 'to stay"
the inner man of people who
have never seen the biscuit or
corn dodgers, good enough for
the gods" when made by our own
American women white or black)
in their patriotic style.
Meat is almost wholly unknown
to the palate of the peon or low
er class; If at all, then the
toughest part of the toughest lit.
tie cattle ever seen, such as would
break out the teeth If a rotary
harrow in Kansas. Clothes are
not much known to this class
no coat, no vest, parts of q
'.slaisy" shirts and pants made
of thin domestic cotton once
white, so far back, though, that
s.the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary" If a new S.
suit of clothes were put on one OF
these poems, he would break his
neck running off" like one OF
your Kansas mustangs with 9
saddle under his belly. Thi:
class lives on less than loo a day
per capita, with several poor
skinny dogs thrown In.
There are two classes of poems
one half live quite well for Mex
leans; the other as represented
There are 100000 people il
Mexico-lo, 100000 poems anc
100000 of the higher grades o.
Mexicans, rich, intelligent anc
s.fafing sumptiously every day.
here the extremes, the antipode'
of the two classes, are seen iii
all their elory"-the extremel,
rich and the extremely poor
whose sores the dogs will no
lick. and these extremes ar
wide apart in everything,in ever.
place. Such is the case in al
exclusive silver countries.
