Havana, Cuba, July 22.-Captain-
General Blanoo has issued the following
proclamation announcing the capitulH.
tion OF Santiago. 1t is dated at Havana,
July 17th.:
After thres months heroic defence
and many bloody comhats. owing to the
scarcity OF ammunition and viotusls,
the garrison OF Santiago de Cuba has
been forced to capitulste under honor
able conditions and with all the honors
of war. This occurred on the day of
July 10th, when it was recognized by
the brave Spanish general of division.
who was acting commander of the
place, that resistance. was useless and
that he could no longer hold the place.
Notwithstanding that endorsements
had been possible, and that although
he had received such from Manzanillo,
and although he should still cover
further losses and bloody combat, and
although he might rut the city in a
better condition Of defence. he was etill
face to face with the fact that rein
forcements would only make further
inroads upon the already greatly con-
sumed and nearly exhausted store OF
provisions OF the Spanish garrison. The
city was thus placed in very lament
able condition. Tbs situation was an
ticipatsu, but II caused great depres-
sion to the Spanish forces.
The occupation of the city of San
tiago by the military forces of the
Americans is lacking in strategic ion
portance, owing to the fact that the
city bad previously been closely block

ships, and will have little or no effect

NEW KIND OF SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

William NJ. Paimer's Son Fired n shotgun,
1t Kicked, and the Second Load Struck
MIR. Palmer In the Leg.
Through the accidental discharge OF
a shotgun, William NJ. Palmer of No.
7 1922 King street sustained bad
wound in the loft leg, ThurHday after
noon, which promises to confine him
to the house for many weeks. Mr..
Palmer took his family on grabbing
party on the Delaware near Cofield
Beach, about three miles below New
I Castle. His double- barrel shot. gun, he
carried along go rs to shoot blackbirds
for crab bait. Tho day passed pleau-
antly and great number of crabs we're
captured.
The accident which sadly msyrsd
the days pleasure occurred when
the party was making ready to
return home. At that time Mr.
Falmer's son, john Palmer, Sd, asked
permission to discharge the gun. His
father told him to shout at tree ont
in the river and to hnld the gun
tightly, as it might kick. As the lad
prepared to shOot several members OF
the family grouped behind him to
watch the effect lie pulled the trigger
on one Of the barrels and ID won't of.
but the rsuoil was 90 great that it
swung him around, loosened his hold
On the gun, and the next moment the
weapon fell from his hands, and tba
second barrel was discharged as it
struck the ground. The gun was then
pointing towards the group OF specta-
tors, and the charge struck Mr.. Palmer
in the left leg about two inches above
the ankle, tearing away the flesh for
about three inches.
Sumo of the shot remained in the
wound until removed by DR.. John Pal
mer, Jr., who attended the wounded
upon his return to town. The shot had
broken the fbula, the small bone along
side the main bone of the leg, the tibia,
and exposed the tendons OF the leg.
The wound will require long time to
heal and may result in stiffening OF
the leg.

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET.
But Little More Than a Recovering Move.
ment.


New York, July 23.-The wsek's re
ooyery in prices of stocks has been
little more than a covering movement
after what can only be tarmed the un-
favorable effect OF the fall of Santiago.
The large absorption Of bonds which
marked the early part Of last week has
been completely interrupted until the
last day or two, and the bull moveme emit
in few stocks which had been in.
augurated has been abandoned.
The market for the standard railroad
stocks has been entirely neglected. with
scarcely perceptihle drift in the cur
rent OF prices. This may be due in
slight dsgrse to the growing belief that
conditions are not yet ripe for peace
with Spain, feara of yellow fever being
introduced into the country by the
army, and TO uneasinees over the yexed
question OF our relations to the Cuban
insurgents.
But the receipt of the news of San.
tiago indicates that the war is practi-
cBlly disregarded by the speculative
public. Phe crops are the all import.
ant subject. Occasional reports Of
tcrup damage do not disturb the Wall
street conviction that the country will
harvest the largest wheat crop in its
history. thus assuring large business
for the railroads.
But the foreign crop news Ia eagerly
studied, to find an Indication Of how
far Europe's needs will be left unsup-
piled before making demand upun our
surplua. This is tho key to the prizes
at which our grain crop will be mar
keted and to the question Of our
foreign trade. IL we must SEND our
wheat abroad at low price, freight
rates will decline AM railroad earning
decrease In comparison with last year.
1t will be difficult to maintain prices
Of atocks in face of decrease in rail
road earnings. The market, therefore,
halts for the crop situation to clear.

EXTRAORDINARY APPROPRIATIONS.


An Important Ordinance Given Two Read
tngs at tho Meeting of City Council.
At the meeting OF City Council Thurs
day night Mr.. Oberly had read twice and
referred to the law committee an ordi-
nance making extraordinary appropria-
tions as follows: Fire companies,
81, zoo; salaries, 5000; Board OF Port
Wardens, $780, The ordinance stated
that the 81. 800 appropriation to fire
companies was neuessitated by tine in
crease to the Phoenix Co. authorized
at the last session of the Legislature.
and the occasion for the additional
$500 for salaries was the Legislative re-
quirement that the county assessors for
the city should be paid $500 ehch by
the city for making the extra ASSESS
msnt under the Adams Tax law.
After the ordinance had been read Mr..
Smith objected to the wording, con-
landing that the $500 should be deaig-
mated as going to the committee on
navigation. he being Of the opinion that
the Port Wardens had no account with
Council.
Mr.. Cannon thought it was rather
early in the year to begin making ex.
traordinary appropriations and thought
that 30 far as the appropriation for fire
companies ia concerned it would he
we'll enough to wait until the present
fund is exhausted.
Mr.. 0'Neill believed that even II the
$500 should be designated as going to
the committee on navigation. the .ordi-
nance should specify that it was for thu
use of the Port WardenE.
MIR. Lsary thought If there were any
errors in the ordinance they would be
corrected by the law committee befors
it's presentation for third rending, and
with his remarks the debate ceased.
The ordinance contains a provision
| that the appropriations are to come
from this years receipts, IL possible,
and il not, from next years..
A communication wRs received from
the Phoenix Fire Co., asking that no
instalment OF its additional appropriH-
| ton Of 81, 500 per year be paid 10 Sep
tember. and ON motion OF Mr.. Cannon
| the request was granted.
