Now tnat their efforts have brought final and complete sue cess, believe their campaign will be recorded as one of the most glorious pages of our military history. Not more than 10000 men were engaged when the most serious fighting oc- cured, bat they pushed forward and created a condition which has brought the surrender of 9, GOO men.
 Later in the afternoon the official dispatch came from Gen. Shafter, giv- ing in brief military fashion ali unus. naIly clear statement from the general report of the days events. It was en- tirely satisfactory from every point of view, showing that tbe American army was ill control of city that it would cost 5000 lives to capture by storm. Moreover 1t was very encouraging from medical view, in thatit showed, contrary to what had been expected, very little sickness and scarcely any yellow fever in Santiago, but a great deal of suffering and distress

As the brilliant folds un- furled in gentle breeze against a heckless sky, the cavalry band broke into the strains of "The Star Spangle2 Banner, making the American pulse leap and the American heart throb with joy.
 At the same instant the sound of the distant booming of Capt. Capron's bat tery, firing a salute of 2l guns, dlifted in.
 When the music ceased, from all di- rections around our line came floating across the plaza the strains of the rcgi- mental bands and the mufiled, hoarse cheers of our troops.
