Government of Santiago.

Washington July II. - Coincident
with the occupation Of Santiago there
are a vast variety of questions which
are being considered by the President
and his cabinet respecting the future
political conditions which are to obtain
there. There will have to be settled
whether the government of Santiago
province shall be q military one or a
civil one with military powers vested
in the executive officer or other form of
administration. Unlike the Philip
pines, which although nominally in our
possession are not formally so. all
questions of jurisdiction over, and ad-
ministration of, the occupied territory
of Santiago, must be met immediately.
Santiago itself is a city of approximate

The man who claims that any one
party monopolizes all the patriotism in
this country thus prOclaims his own
ignorance. It seems to be pretty gem
orally understood in Washington that
the republican congressional committee
intends to make the implication, if not
the direct claim, that Republican patri-
otism in Congress was the whole thing,
the basis Of its campaign documents
this year an implication as false as it
would be possible to make. AS o mat
ter Of fact, if any other party in con-
gress deserves mere praise than the
other for unselfish patriotism, it is the
democrats. Although they knew that
the administration being Republican,
and a majority of the house being re.

war would necessarily be beneficial to
tbs Republican party, not a single
democrat hesitated either in advocacy
of the war or in providing the money
to carry it on successfully. If the &C
tion OF the democrats, and the pOpu-
lists in congress was not actuated by
pure and unseltish patriotism, some re-
publican should tell the country what
actuated those men who voted for the
war, although fully aware that their
votes would, temporarily, at least, lie
beneficial to their political opponents.
Let the truth be told no matter wAo

There is a difference of opinion as to
how the Porto Rican expedition should
be made up. Gen. Miles wants to taxi
many of the regiments now before San

"ThO war has been very lucky
thing for the republicans of Illinois,
for if it had not. occurred they would
have been ingloriously defeated"
That is what Mr.. P. E. Furman, q
well-known democrat Of that state says,
aud the same thing will apply equally
as we'll to other states, for it is as plain
as the nose on your face that the rspub-
licans are going to make their cam
plign on the war, although they de-
serve no more credit for the action OF
congress in voting oil the money the
administration asked for to conduct the
war than do the democrats, and the
popalists, who voted for oil the war APP
preparations. As to the policy of the
party in his state, Mr.. Furmsn says
"The Illinois democrats stand stead

Santiago, Sunday, July II, g p, m,
The American flag is floating in tri-
umph over the governors palace at
Santiago de Cuba.
Gen, McKibbin has been appointed
temporary military governor.
The ceremony Of hosting the Stars
aud Stripes was worth all the blood and
treasure it cost. A concourse of $4,000
people witnessed the stirring and thrill
ing scene that will live forever in the
minds of all Americans present. A
finer setting for a dramatic episode
would be difficult to imagine. The
palace, a picturesque old dwelling in
the Moorish style Of architecture, faces
the Plaza de la Renia, the principal
public square. Opposite rises the i'm,
posing Catholic cathedral. On one
side is o quaint. brilliantly-p painted
building with broad verandas - the
Club of San Carlos-on the other q
building of much the same description
the Cafe de la Venus. Across the
plaza was drawn up the 9th Infantry
headed by the 9th Cavalry band. In the
street facing the palace stood a picked
troop of the Cd Cavalry with drawn sa
bres under Capt. Brett. Massed OF
the stone tagging between the bant
and the line of horsemen were the brig
ade commanders of Gen. Skaters divi
sion, with their stats. On the red TILED
roof of the palace stood Capt. McKit
trick, LIT. Miley, and LIT. Wheeler, i'm
mediately above them upon the flag
staff the illuminated Spanish arms anC
the legend "Vivs Alfonso XIII"
"LONG MAY SHE WAVE"
All about, pressing against the We
randa rails, crowding the windows ant
doors, and lining the roofs, were th
people of the town, principally womel
and non combatants. AS the chimes -
the old cathedral rang out the hour o
IL, the infantry and cavalry presented
arms, every American uncovered, an
Capt McKittrick hoisted the Stars an,
Stripes. As the brilliant folds unfurle,
in gentle breeze against a fieckles
sky, the cavalry band broke into th
strains of "rhe Star-Spangled Ban
ner," making the American pulse lea
and the American heart thrill with Joy
At the same instant the sound of th
distant boom of Capt. Capron's batter.
firing salute of twenty-one gun
drifted in. When the music ceased
from oil directions around our lin
came floating across the plaza til
strains Of the regimental bands, an
the muffled, hoarse cheers of our troops
The infantry came to 'order arms"
moment after the flag was mp, and til
band played "Rally Round the Flas
Boys" Instantly General McKibbo
called for three cheers for Gen. Shafte

The ceremony over, Gen. Shafter an
his staff returned to the American line
leaving the city in the possession of th
municipal authorities, subject to til
order of Gen. McKibbin.
