The Rain and Hail Storm

The rain and hail Of last Friday did
some damage in sections Of this coun-
ty but since the fields and trees have
had time to rub off the mud and to
brush up" it is not near 80 bad as at
first supposed. There are probably
dozen orchards through the county
more or less damaged cay from 90 to
~ per cent, while others were not
touched by the hall.
Some fields and gardens we're CON
siderably damaged by the hail but in
the aggregate tho rain has probably
done moro good than the hail has
done harm. Probably the greatest
damage was to irrigating bitches, but
even these have escaped with damage
Insignificant compared to what was re.
ported at first. The Swartzo, or south
Pennington, ditch was said to be
badly eamaged, but water was turned
into it after one days work, 1t was
estimated that the Pennington ditcl
| would require Jhreo weeks for repairs
and three days work completed tn,
damage, water being turned in OF

ITO General Shafter, Commander,

president Of the United States sends
to you and your brave army the pro-
found thanks of the American people
for the brilliant achievement at Santi-
ago, resulting in the surrender of the
city and all of the Spanish troops and
territory under General Toral. Your
splendid command has endured not
only the hardships and sacrifices Incl
dent to campaign and battle, but in
stress of heat and weather, have tri,
umphed over obstacles which would
have overcome men less brave and

played the most conspicuous gallantry
and earned the gratitude Of the Ia
tion. The hearts of the people turr

wounded. May the Father OF merCie
protect and comfort them.

General Toral, commanding the
Spanish forces in Santiago de Cuba,
on tine 14th inst, sent The fol-
lowing communication to General
Shafter indicating his willingness to
accept the terms ofsurrcndcr proposed
yesterday, aud asking the American
commander to appoint commissioners
TO meet Spanish commissioners to ar
range to send the Spanish troops back
to Spain. This will probably be done.
The surrender OF Toral is not only
the means Of the fail of Santiago, but
by the terms Of surrender, the whole
eastern end of the island falls into the
hands of the United States without fir
ing a shot. The surrender is to in
cludo all the Spanish troops at Santi-
ago Guantanamo, Caimanera and Sa-
qua, composing the fourth corps of
the Spanish army. That portion OF
1heprovince of Santiago de Cuba that

Las Palmas to Aceradorros, is surren-
kered to the United States
The territory surrendered contains
about $4,000 square miles and has a
population exceeding 1880 when in
a normal state,
There was hitch in arranging the
terms Of surrender, the Spaniards be.
ing willing TO surrender their arms
but with the understanding that they
were to be returned to them upol
reaching Spain. This the United
States refused to do. The terms as
finally agreed upon were, according
TO a dispatch from General Shaftor on
the 10Th, as follows:
The conditions of capituatioN in
clude all the forces and the war mato
lial in described territory. The Unitot
