The first Spanish battle flag captured in

constructed of inferior material 1t has
three broad stripes. the two outer ones be-
ing of red and the center one of yellow
broken in the center with the Spanish coat

FRENCH SHIP AT SANTIAGO.
1t is Probable She VIII Remove som.
of the Residents

A French warship will be the first foreign
ship to salute the American flag flying on
Cuban soil. Word has been received here
that the Frerch cruiser Rigault de Gen
GULLY has been ordered to Santiago This
was some days ago, the cruiser D'Estainge
being ordered to Havana at the same time
The d Estainge has arrived at Havana, and
word now reaches here that the Rigault
de Genouilly arrived at Guantanamo By
this time she is at Santiago, for her orders
are TO go there. The first formality on ar
irving at that port is for the foreign war
ship to salute the flag of the government of
the port Had the Rigault de Genouilly ar
rived before yesterday noon, her formal
salute would have been to the Spanish tias
then waving over Santiago but as her ar
rival Will be after the raising of the Ameri-
can colorS the salute will be to the Amerf-
can flag.
The French consul at Santiago, with $40
French citizens, residents of Santiago, have
returned there after about two weeks at
FL Canay, where they took refuge when
the battle was on. The consurs reports
to the officials here make no reference to
suffering, and it is concluded that the
French colony fared reasonably well in the
matter of rations while refugees from the
city. They received daily supplies, under
STOOD to come from the Red Cross 1t is
probable that number of the French resi-
dents will be taken off by the Rigual de
Genouilly.
