Americans and spaniards ON the
Most Friendly Terms.
Santiago, Cuba, July 22.-Civil order
has been completely restored in Santi-
ago and no excessive celebrations Of
victory are permitted. All the cafes
We're closed last night, for the authori-
ties are anxious that nothing shall
mar the good impression made by the
orderly manner in which the city was
transferred from Spanish to American
rule.
The Spanish and United States
troops yesterday were both patroniz-
ing places where intoxicants were sold
and drinking toasts to each other from
well filled glasses. The municipal au-
thorities thought it better to restrain
the joyousness of the victors for the
present. Stores where food and cloth
ing are for sale are being reopened
and the Americans are the best custo-
mers. The food problem will soon be
solved, for transports entered the har-
Dor and began to discharge their car
goes Of provisions.

Washington, July Heterogeneous
have practically been concluded by
the government for the transportation
Of the Spanish prisoners ut Santiago
from Cuba to Spain. The contract was
company, represented by j. NJ. Cebal-
los & Co., New York. The company
agrees to carry the prisoners from
Cuban ports to Spain at the rate Of $40
for each enlisted man and $55 for each
commissioned officer, subsistence to be
furnished by the company on the army
basis as provided for in the govern
ment's advertisement for bids. The
award provides also that the company
shall have five ships at Santiago in
nine days, two in seventeen days and
enough to complete the transportation
of the prisoners in twenty-one days
from to-day. Two days ago Col. Heck
er, in charge of the transportation of
troops in the quartermaster's depart
ment of the army, went to New York
to consult With shipping companies
concerning the transportation of Span
ish troops
Surrendered Mt Santiago.
Bids, which he had previously adver-
tised for, were opened at the army
building in New York yesterday. Col
Hecker returned to Washington last
night. He had a conference at the
war department with Secretary Alger,
Quartermaster General Ludington and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin. The bids of the
several companies were considered,
that of the Spanish Transatlantic COM
pany finally being accepted, as in all
respects, it was regarded as the best
made. On the basis of $4,000 men and
1000 officers it will cost the govern
ment $535,O00 to transport the pris-
oners. The ships will fly the Spanish
colors and will be manned probably
entirely by Spanish crews. 1t was re-
marked as one of the curious develop
ments Of the war that the United
States government should enter into
friendly contract with a company,
many Of whose vessels are auXiIiaries
to the Spanish navy, and some Of
which have been captured or destroyed
by the navy of the United States.

Washington, July %. - Secretary
Long said that the preparations for
disratching. Watson's squadron to
European waters were going on I'M
interrIptedly, but that the departure
necessarily would await the arrival of
the warships at Puerto Rico, the Mas
sachusetts and other ships being re-
quired for conveying the troops to
Puerto Rico. This disposed of a re-
port circulated during the day that the
expedition had been abandoned. 1t
was felt that the report was the more
mischievous at this TIME as it indl-
Gated purpose to yield to the I'M
piled threats from European sources
that coalition would result from an
expedition to the Spanish coast.
Neither the navy nor state depart
ments lock to any embarrassment
from European quarters outside OF
Spain as a result of the movement
against the coast Of the peninsula.
During the day orders were sent to
Norfolk to hurry forward work on the
Golfers which are to accompany the
Watson expedition. Had the army
troop ships been able to go to Puerto
Rico without naval convoy the wat
son squadron
Could Have Got Away
within the next few days. as the war
board had wished to close all prelim-
inaries by next Saturday. But as the
battleship Massachusetts, cruisers
Columbia, Cincinnati, Dixie and Yale,
together with several lesser craft,
were considered necessary as patrol
for the Miles expedition, this changes
the plans slightly. The Dixie is al
most certain to be in the Watson
squadron, and the Massachusetts is
likely to he. Secretary Long says,
however, that the delay of the Watson
squadron is incident to conveying the
troops to Puerto Rico, and does not
mean that the start will be postponed
until the Puerto Rican operations are
concluded. The report from BARGE
Iona that the people were so fearful
of the approach of the Watson squad
ron that they were urging France to
establish n protectorate over the Cata-
lonia district, including Barcelona,
was dismissed by officials and mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps best in
formed on the affairs Of France as
fantastic speculation, quite unwar-
ranted by any actual movement now
on foot. 1t is said to be thoroughly
we'll established that France is not
lending helping hand to Spain in
any Of her Affections.

Thirty-eight of the 211 members of
the graduating class of '98, at Princeton
university, have supported themselves
wholly or in part during their college
course, and probably twenty-five, pos
sibly twenty-six, have been entirely de-
pendent upon their own exertions for
money to meet the cost of their educa-
ton. A still larger number, perhaps
one-third Of the entire class, have re-
ceived assistance in the ways of schol-
arships, which means free tuition from
the funds at the disposal of the faculty
for this purpose. According to their
returns the average annual expenditure
of the members of the class of '98 dur
ing their freshman year for all pur-
poses was 1862 per capita, in the senior
year $764. There are several very rich
men in the class, whose parents are
worth millions, and whose allowances
have practically been unlimited. Their
extravaganza has naturally raised the
average and more than Offset the econ
omy OF the thirty-eight who have been
paying their own expenses, but from all
can learn it costs the average student
about $500 year at Princeton, and he
can live very well on that money.

Madrid. July 22.-Senor Sagasta and

lukewarm hostility toward the Spanish

official dispatch asserting, under date
of July IA, that while the blockade is
becoming very strict, the enemy has
lost heavily in several recent engage
ments, by which the morale of the
American forces has been weakened
and the Spaniards have been greatly
encouraged. The dispatch alleges also
that the garrison is ready to fight to
the death and that Gen. Monte and
several officers who had escaped from

The savagery that mutilates the dead

ishness of unreasoning hate, the bar
barism that clothes itself in nakedness

starving and finds means for humor in

In an order to the army relative to
the health and efficiency of the SOL
diers, Gen. Miles says: "The history
of other armies has demonstrated that
in hot climate abstinence from tae
use of intoxicating drinks is essential
to continued health and efficiency"
This precautionary advice of Gen.
Miles to officers and men of the army
might be needed with profit by civil
ians who mistakenly suppose that al
coholic beverages are beneficial in hot
weather. The truth is directly the con-
trary. Other things being equal, he
endures hot weather best who is least
addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors of any kind. The above re-
marks apply also to cold weather.
