The Spanish flag that has fioated over
the historic defense at the entrance TO
Santiago harbor, was hauled down at
noon, in accordance with the terms I'M
der which General Toral surrendered, and
the United States emblem was hoisted in
its place.-Equally inspiring scenes were
being witnessed by the Americans before
the city two hours earlier. At 10 o'clock
in the morning Torars troops, marching
out of the city as the bells of Santiago
cathedral were tolling, appeared before
the American lines and stacked their
arms. Some Spaniards wept Others
seemed glad that the end of the Santiago
campaign had come. Under the terms OF
surrender the entire Spanish garrison pa
raded on the plateau before formally de-
posting their arms. being reviewed by
General Shafter and other leading COM
manders of the American forces. Our en-
tire army was drawn up along the in
trenchments, and after the parade of the
Spaniards had been finished the garrison
re-entered the city, where they retired to
their barracks to await embarkation for
Spain. General Skaters troops are anx-
ious to get away from Santiago. now That
the objects of the campaisl have been
accomplished. Most of them will be NOV
ed toward the coast and sent aboard
transports as soon as possible.-While the
American troops were witnessing the pa
rade of the Spanish soldiers and the
stacking of their arms a detachment of
Spaniards were busily engaged in remov-
ing the mines from the entrance to San
tiago harbor. There is much uneasiness
among the Cubans lest General Shafter
should leave Santiago in charge of the
present municipal authorities. In thar
event they declare they would be marked
men.-The general conditions in FL Caney

STONE IN Her STOMACH
From the Gazette, Blandfnsuflle, III.

The wife Of the Rev A. r. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Church at Blan-
dinsville, ILL.,, was for years compelled to
live life Of torture from disease. Her
case baffled the physicians, but today she
is alive and well and tells the story Of her
recovery as follows:
''About six years ago." said Mrs. Adams,
81 weighed about 140 pounds, but my
health began to fail and lost flesh. My
food did not agree with me and felt like q
stone in my stomach. Ibegan to bloat all
over until thought had dropsy.
81 had pains and soreness in my left side
which extended clear across my back and
also into the region of my heart. During
these spells hard ridge would appear in
the left side Of my stomach and around
the left side.
"These attacks left me sore and ex-
hausted. All last summer was so nervous
that the children laughing and playing
nearly drove me wild. l suffered also from
female troubles and doctored with ten diff
ferent physicians without receiving any
help.

Another victim, In the person Of Charley
Grew, of Georgetown. was last night add
ed to the long list OF recent hold-ups and
candbagsing affairs. Grew tried to fight,
but was given no opportunity. He Is now
nursing broken nose, but owing to his

early part of the evening Tor town. He
stopped at the home OF his friend In
Smiths lane and he and the young lady
waiting for the incoming car. 1t was not

approached and, calling Grew by name.
said:
Look here q minute; l want to see
you"
Grew walked over to the man, thinking
him an acquaintance. Without word the
fellow struck him q stunning blow be-
tween the eyes. knocking him down.
Though dazed, Grew, who is known as
piucky man, got or his feet and tried TO
strike back. AS he did SO another man
stepped up and. putting revolver to MS
head, threatened to kill him IL he did not
keep quiet All this time the young lady
was screaming at the top OF her voice.
After searching Grew and taking his
watch the TWO men fled into the darkness.
Grew and his companion then came into
town and had his wound cared for. Just
before the assault Grew had given his
money 10 the girl. saying they might be
held up ard IL they were she could con-
ceal Il better than he.
