Spanish and American Soldiers Fra
ternize and in a Cheerful Way.
BLANco IS ACTING SHABBY WITH ToRAL.

Santiago, July 10. 6 p. m, via Kings
ton, July Hundreds Of American and
Spanish soldiers, who but a few days ago
were shooting at each other, crowd the
streets Of Santiago to-day, meeting and
mixing on most friendly terms. gen.
eral feeling OF good fellowship is eyinced
everywhere, the yictors and vaDquished
apparently being equally reiOiced that
strife and blOodshed are over and the
horrors Of the siege ended. Great
barges loaded with provisions and
supplies have been going to the wharyes
all day from the Red Cross steamer
State Of Texas and the United States
army supply ships and there is evidence
that priyatiOn is rapidly disappearing.
The Americans are buying swords,
medals and buttons from their late foes
aud all talk cheerily whenever an inter
prefer can be obtained. About 1000
Spanish troops still remain In the city.
but the majority will be- removed az soon
as camping ground beyond the rinepits
can be arranged.
The harbor is crowded with transports,
but as announced at Gen. McKibben's
headquarters, no orders for embarking
troops have been received and 1t is not
believed that any Of them will be imme-
diately taken away. Officers say there ia
not case Of yellow fever in Santiago,
and but few cases OF smallpox.
Shaiter has placed a censor In charge
Of the cable Office and only government
dispatches are allowed TO be sent to day.
II Is said, however, that press and com.
mercial dispatches will soon be received,
subject TO the censor'a blue pencil.
Spanish merchants say that they ex.
pect business TO revive at once, and hope
for large investments Of American capital
within the next year. There seems to be
no race hatred, the bitterness being all
directed against the Madrid government,
which is charged with the gross mis-.
management OF Cuba and bungling dur.
ing the conduct OF the present war.
Hospital headquarters are still located
at Juragua. Two deaths from yellow
fever were reported there, but the names
OF the victims have not been made public,
Physicians say there are but few new
eases Of yellow fever appearing and that
the epidemic Is under control.

Yale and is said to be arranging details
Tor the Porto Rlcan expedition. II is
reported here that large army will sail
from the United States this week, aud
Gen. Miles, with the majority OF Gen.
Henry's troops, not yet debarked, will 20
direct to the vicinity Of San Juan within
short time.
Most Of the ships of Rear Admiral
Simpsons fleet are also lying at Guanta-
namo bay. The New York and Brooklyn
spent the day almost under the shadow
Of MORO Castle, lying as close in shore az
possible.
Commodore Schley, with party Of Off
GERS, visited the city this morning, com.
ing up the bay In steam launch. The
commodore called on Gen. McKibben and
strOlled about the streets, making several
purchases and apparently greatly enjoy,
ing shore leave. He was received with
great respect by the Spanish officers who
learned his name,
Lieut.. Miley, OF Skaters staff, left
here this morning with troop OF
cavalry, mounted, under Captain Brset,
TO make the round OF the entire military

Luis, where there are about $500 OF the

stright across the country TO the coast
