~ AN FRANCISCO. June 15.-The
S second Philippine expedition Of
4 four steamers sailed at o'clock
this afternoon.
Thousands OF people had assembled
along the docks to witness the depar-
ture OF the feet and when the signals
ordering the vessels to get under way

up. Added to the cheering Of the peo-
pie was the blowing OF whistles and
ringing Of bells.
The vessels in the harbor dipped
their eolors as the transports passed
by anu countless yachts and other
small craft trailed behind the big
steamers. The transports themselves
were picturesque indeed. Every avail
able space was occupied by soldiers.
High up in the rigging they climbed;
every port hole was filed by smiling
fac and the guard rails we.e hidden
beneath struggling masses trying to
secure points of vantage to get one
last glimpse of the city and the thous-
Snds OF people.

Washington, July 1S.-A state paper
that viii be historic. marking an
epoch In American history, was issued
tonight by direction Of President Nc
kinley. 1t provides In general terms
for the government of the province of
Santiago de Cuba. and Is the first doc
ument of the kind ever prepared by u
President OF the United States. By or
der of Secretary Alger, Adjutnnt Gen.
eral Corbin tonight cabled the docu-
ment to General Shafter. In command
OF the military forces mt Santiago. The
paper is not only an authorization md
instruction to General Shafter for the
government Of the captured territory,
but also Il proclamation to the people
Of the territory Of the intentions of the
government OF the United States re-
gnrding them and their interests. 1t
marks the formal establishment of n
new political power In the island OF
territory over which the power cX-
tends absolute security In the exercise
of their private rights and relations, ns
well as security to their persons and
property.
In brief. the document IL n statement
to the Cubans of the conquered district
TINT the present laws, courts and NUM-
cipnl officers Will he recognized by this
government except under special cir
cumstanccs.
The administration Is determined to
open the port OF Santiago without de-
lay, so that business can resume Its
normal course with the least possible
interruption. thus enabling the inhabi-
tanis TO become self-supporting and
making the problem of caring for and
governing the conquered territory much
more simple.

to General Shafter tonight. IL prac-
ticnlly the minimum Cuba tariH sched-
ulc that was enforced In Cuba by
Spain. This minimum schedule np-
piled only to goods imported into the
island from Spain. goods from other
countries being taxed on an average Of
twice us much. As the low rates are
now to apply to goods from all coun-
tries the effect will be favorable to the
commerce OF the port.
