ARRANGING THE SURRENDER
Continued from First Page.)

 Geueral Garcia, with their staffs, rode or to inspect the position on the right hank' They all agreed that General Ioral was securely wedged in and that escape was impossible, But, owing to delay and the incidental loss of life which was certain to result from an at tempt to carry the town by assault, the danger to our troops from fever and disease, and above all the fact that the spanish fleet was destroyed, which has been the real object of the campaign, it seemed to be the general disposition to allow General Toral to evacuate San tiago. This would give us a military and naval base permit the starving refugees to return to their homes, and would allow immediate authorization of the bulk Of our army for the Porto Rico campaign. The rain now falls in sheets every day, drenchjng the soldiers, washing out the roads and swelling the streams into torrents. In fact. our base ot supplies is actually threatened by the mountain streams. Two bridges were carried away this afternoon af- ter a downfall In which an inch and half of rain fell.
 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is one of those who believe the army is threaten ed with great disaster unless General Toral and his troops are allowed to de- port. Two of General Randolph's bat teries reached the front to-day and were posted in the center of General lIAWt0n'S division nf,t ho aytY ripht where they can command the town be- yond our lines and over the churches, hospitals and other public buildings flying the Red Cross flag, at the eastern edge of the city. Already the move ments of the army for the future as outlined are based on the fall of the city. The plans of the generals are not to allow our troops to enter the city except garrison of immunes, which will remain here, proof against the vel low fever.
 Until ready for embarkation on the transports at the city's piers our men will be canped on the heights sur rounding Santiago, where the water is good. Strict instructions have been is sued to the soldiers to boil their drink ing water, but owing to the poverty of their equipment this Is almost impossi- ble. The rainy weather has accelerat- ed the spread of malarial and other fevers. In some of the regiments over third of the men are unfit for duty. General Chaffee is suffering from fever. General Miles was received with great enthusiasm all along the line and was greeted with cheers on all sides. The general expressed himself as being ex- cedingly gratifed at the strength of our position and at the character of our works thrown up. To a correspon- dent General Miles said he was proud to command an army which had car ried the line of hills on which our cen ter rests. He added that there was no prouder page in our military annals than that written on July 1. Tn conclu- sion General Miles remarked that he felt satisfied from General Toraps man. ner and words that he was anxious to surrender.

The stock Market.

New York, July 14.-The stock mar ket showed a firm resistance to pres sure all day, and when the news was received that Santiago had surrendered on our terms a vigorous upward move ment set in which wiped out a large part of the losses incurred in yester- days bear raid. The fear of the intro- duction of yellow fever into this coun- try, if it should gain a foothold among our forces, had as much to do with yesterdays decline as did the fears of a military setback. This was indicated by the sharp recovery to-day in such stocks as Louisville and Nashville and Southern Railway preferred. There was a brief period of depression at the opening, due to sympathy with London, where the belief prevailed that the Spaniards would refuse to surrender Santiago and thus necessitate long siege.
 The local bears early evinced uneasi- ness and bought stock to cover short contracts put out with great confidence yesterday. Their confidence had been unsettled not only by the strong belief expressed in official circles in Washing ton that Santiago would surrender, but also by realization that the favorable effect of the success of the government loan would have to be met. The cov- ering movement was aided by a raid upon the anthracite group, which yield ed easily and dragged the market back to near last nights level about which it drifted very sluggisly until the final upward movement,
 Net gains in most active stocks were near point and in some eases, notably Omaha and Hawaiian Commercial gains exceeded points. The entire ab- sorption of the government loan by small subscriptions seems practically assured. There is no doubt that this will release considerable sums of money held by banks, corporations and sym dicates as reserves against bids for large amounts of the, bonds. As an object lesson of the wealth and re- sources of the country, this subscrip- ton of a $200, 0,OOO,O 900 loan bearing inter- est below the ruling savings bank rate is expected to have a very striking ef- feet.
 The movement in speculative bonds continued large to-day and the upward course of prices was resumed, traders covering short contracts put out yes- terday. The total sales aggregated $3,- 920,0o0

 Meanwhile the second squadron, talk ing lire at the exploit of the squadron next to 1t, also swung around and rode tiercely at the second French square. It's fire was angry and damaging; but it's ranks had been shaken by the spec tacle of the destruction which had just swept over the square below it. One or two French infantrymen ran from their places, and in an instant the tempest of galloping horses and furious swords men swept over the square. A third square, according to one version, was in like manner destroyed by the trium- phant cavalry; but the remaining square stood firm and succeeded in cov- eringering the French retreat. The charge was one of the most memorable cavalry feats on record. Three squares were broken and fourteen hundred prisoners captured. Yet a great price was paid for this triumph.

self to run it holds its head lower
than usual and little forward, with
deep loop in the neck. The neck vi
brates sinuously, but the head remains
steady, thus enabling the bird, even at
top speed to look around with unshak,
en- glance in any direction. The wings
lie along the sides about on a level
with or little higher than the back,
and are held loosely, just free of the
plunging thigh" There is no attempt
to hold them extended or to derive any
assistance from them as organs of
flight. When an ostrich, after hard
run, is very tired its wings sometimes
droop; this is due to exhaustion. They

Dewey and His Chinese Bows.

Admiral Dewey's official dispatches
highly praise the Chinese servants of
his squadron. We may remark, says
the San Francisco Argonaut, that in
action the non-combatants aboard ship
are set to work supplying the fighters
with ammunition. Thus the ward
room stewards, most of them Japanese
or Chinese, are busily at work between
decks passing and hosting ammuni-
ton. In the United States navy there
are number Of excellent Chinese
stewards, many of whom are shipped
in Oriental ports, and are never al
lowed ashore when they come into
American ports. Like the Chinese
stewards aboard of the Occidental and
Oriental steamers on this coast, they
frequently see America, but never set
foot on American soil.
After the battle of Manila Admiral
Dewey found a number of his Chinese
stewards aboard the flagship with their
hands raw and bleeding from hosting
ammunition. One of them said to the
admiral that he thought President
Mckinley ought to allow them to land
now. Admiral Dewey has not forgot
ten the suggestion, and recommends to
the administration that these Chinese
be allowed to become American citi-
zens.
We think the suggestion an excel
lent one. There has been some talk
about monuments to Admiral Dewey,
which, like most talk, will probably
result in nothing. It took more than
half century to erect a monument to
George Washington. But If the
Chinese stewards who labored so lus.i-
ly to hoist ammunition to the Ameri-
can sailors aboard the American ships
in the famous battle of Manila Bay are
not worthy of the boon of American
citizenship, it would be hard to say
who are.
Every Chinese thus made a citizen.
dating from Dewey's victory, would be
a walking monument to Dewey's fame.
and to the love which his countrymen
feel for him. That they might erect
to him monuments of bronze or marble
would mean much, but that they
should for him set aside legal bull
warks, against which Chinese thou
sands have fruitlessly beaten for years,
would mean more.
