MANY QUESTIONS
MUST NOW BE MET

WASHINGTON, July 17-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 military or civil
one with military powers vested in the
executive officer, or other form of ad-
ministration. Unlike the Philippines,
which, although noninally in our pos
session, are not formally so, all ques-
tfons of Jurisdiction over, and admins
tration of the territory Of Santiago
must be met Immediately. Santiago is
city of about 10000 people. and in ad-
dition there are large number Of peo-
pie in the captured territory whose in
terests will have to be looked after. The
commercial side of the matter also
must be attended to promptly. San
tiago being ours, the presumption fol-
lows that the blockade maintained by
this Government will be declared not to
exist and the place made an open port
the Government maintaining a strict
surveillance to keep supplies from get
ting beyond Santiago and being fur
nished to the SpaniardS.

the objects Of the campaign have been
accomplished. Most of them will be
moved toward the coast and sent
aboard transports as soon as possible.
While the American troops were wit
Messing the parade of the Spanish SOL
diers and stacking of their arms, a de-
tachment of Spaniards was busily en-
gagged in removing the mines from the
entrance to Santiago harbor. This work,
1t was expected, would be well out Of
the way by nightfall, so that the Red
Cross ship State of Texas could enter
the harbor tonight or early in the
morning.
There is much uneasiness among Gu
bans lest General Shafter should leave
Santiago In charge of the present mu-
nicipal authorities. In that event, they
declare they would be marked men.
The general conditions at Ell Caney
are more unsatisfactory than ever.

Of starving. The fever there has been

Nearly 300 cases Of fever are now be-

ing, and many sufferers now in the de-
tention hospitals will be sent here in
few days. The fever has not yet as
sumed its virulent form, and the doc
tors are making strenuous efforts to
keep it In check. There have been
twelve deaths thus far at Siboney, a
majority of the victims being regulars.
General Shafter detailed the now fa-
nous Twenty-fourth regulars, COM
prised of colored troops, to keep the
refugees at the Siboney base of sup
plies. Major Lagarde, surgeon in
charge, reports that the outbreak of
fever in our lines is due to contact with
refugees from Santiago.
