Spanish forces march out of Santiago

Spanish forces march out of Santiago
, with honors OF war. depositing their
arms at a point mutually agreed upon,
to await disposition OF u. s. govern
ment, 1t being understood U. 8. commits
sioners will recommend that the Span
ish soldiers return to Spain with arms
so bravely defended. This leaves the
question Of return OF arms entirely In
the hands of the government.
invite attention to the fact that sew
eral thousand surrendered. said by To-
raj to be about 1900. against whom
shot has not been fired. The return
to Spain of the troops in this district
amounts to above $4,000, according to
Gen. Toral. SHAFTER.
Secretary Alger, Secretary Gage, Gen.
Brooke and Gen. Corbin had a confer
ence with the president over this dis
patch and on leaving the White House
they expressed themselves as highly
gratified at the outcome of the Santia-
go campaign as we'll as the terms OF
the surrender. 1t was eminently salts
factory, Gen. Alger said. and 1t was a
great relief to know that all had been
accomplished on the terms which had
been secured.
AS to what disposition will finally be
made of the Spanish small arms Is not
an open question any longer. The pres
ident has not made public his views
upon the subject yet, but Secretary AL
ger has. He says that while the Span
!ards may be humored in permitting
them to march out of Santiago with
the honors of war. these honors will
cease when their arms are deposited at
the point indicated by the commission.
No Spanish arms, other than those
worn by the officers will go to Spain.
This government has reached the ex-
treme limit of generosity to the fallen
foe The president has no desire to
impose humiliating or degrading terms
upon Spain or the men who wear her
uniform, but what he really desires to
do, and what he will do is to preserve
the honor and dignity of the American
arms.
The opinion held In official circles
here is that the Toral contingent will be
hustled off to Spain at the earliest pos
sible moment. 1t is felt by the gov
ernment that it will be cheaper to send
them back than to feed them for two
or three weeks or months.
Playa del Este, July 1S.--The negot,-
ations for the capitulation were con-
Quoted under the protecting shade of
a great tree between the lines. At the
first conference it was understood that
the Spanish officers should retain their
side arms only, and that he soldiers
should surrender everything. Friday,
however. Toral professed ignorance Of
such an understanding.
Upon Toral insisting, new articles
were drawn by Gen. Wheeler's secreta-
ry. These somewhat modified certain
conditions and minor points. The Span
ish troops are to march to the trans
ports carrying their arms and plling
them just before embarking
A detail of American troops will receive
them.

The president was considering the

cd that the general was i'll. High au.
thorlty is given for the statement that
President Mckinley had practically
decided to make the appointment.
The appointment of n sO-called mill.
tary governor to succeed General Nc.
kibben, the temporary appointee, may
not be made until after General Shat
ter leaves.
If General Duffield shall have thor.
oughly recovered from his mild attack
of yellow fever within three or four
weeks. he may still be appointed to
administer the military government IN
Santiago.
Major General Shafter informed the
war department that the roster of the
Spanish troops Just completed showed
that 22,TS9 prisoners are now in his
custody.
President Mckinley has issued d
proclamation relative TO the govern.
ment of Santiago and the captured ter.
ritory adjacent.
The paper insures to the people OF

exercise of their private rights and
guarantees security to their persons
and property.
The document makes clear the i'll
tentions of this government regarding
its administration in the island
The Porto Rico expedition has not

was successfully launched at the yards
of the Union Iron Works in San Fran
cisco.
1t was announced at the War De-
partment that the Spanish prisoners at
Santiago will sail for Spain not later
than July 25.
Advices from Honolulu indicate that
the monitor Monterey, now on the way
to Manila, will stop and seize the Car
olne Islands.
Secretary Long has decided that Ad-
miral Cervera may have a parole IL
certain details can be arranged, and
he wishes to do so.
The Cuban loyahsts and volunteers
are planning to proclaim independence
and set up a republic in opposition to
that of Gomez and Garcia.
The Carlists in Northern Spain, hav-
ing secured arms and ammunition
from France, are impatient to attack
the government of Madrid.
The War Department is making ar
rangements to procure ammunition for
the Mauser rifles captured from the
Spanish soldiers at Santiago.
A Madrid correspondent cables that
the Spanish Government has received
assurances of help from France, Rus
sia, Germany and Austria in making
peace
During her service on the blockade
the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite was dis
covered to have fire in her coal bunk
ers, which burned for three days. Some
repairs to the vessel will be necessary.
1t is the present intention of the
Washington authorities to maintain a
military government at Santiago, re-
gardless of hints from Cuban sources
that they are prepared to undertake
the administration there.
The Quartermasters Department
awarded several contracts, including
orders for fifty bread ovens at sl57
each, $4,000 pairs of sky blue trousers
at 1926, 10000 pairs of trousers for
mounted men at $3.50, and $4,000 blue
blouses at $3.50.
The lost cable from Santiago de Cuba
was caught by the anchor Of the Mas
sachusetts near Aguadores. just as the
| surrender of Santiago was announced,
The finding of the cable was accidental.
1t has been decided to buoy the cable
| loi use shiii HOl " cut L.
Three regiments of Spanish infantry
| have been ordered from Seville to AL
geciras. Troops are engaged in dig
ging intrenchments In the neighbor-
hood of Sierra Carbonera, Long lines
Of torpedoes have been sunk In the
harbor of Barcelona, as we'll as other
| ports.
Handcuffed together, and looking
enough alike to be twins, Willie and
| Oscar Wigs, from the First North
Carolina volunteer infantry arrived nj
| Governors Island to begin a term OF
three years imprisonment for double
| desertion. They were locked up in Cas-
tie William.
The British tank steamer LuciIine
now at Philadelphia, has been bought
by the Government to carry water Ia
Cuba. The price paid is said to be
$200,000 The Luciline was launched
five years ago at Stockton, England
and is built of iron and steel. She can
carry 100000 gallons of water.
Secretary Alger and Gen. Brooke dis
cussed the sanitary condition of the
camp at Chickamauga. Gen. Brooke
said there were eighty cases of typhoid
fever In the camp when he left. This
is not regarded by the military sur
| geons as an exceptional number as
there are $4,000 soldiers in the camp,
| mostly green men.

Monterey to Capture the Island Before
Gong to Manila.

Gong to Manila.
Washington, d. c., July 21.--It is
practically admitted in naval circles
that the report that the monitor Mon
terey will take possession of the Caro-
line islands is correct. 1t Is believed in
naval circles that she will have the
same experience In taking possession OF
the Caroline Islands as did the Charles
ton In the case of the Ladrones.
Captain Glass of the Charleston was
thanked by the governor of Guajan, It
will be remembered, for saluting the
Spanish flag, and he stated that he was
unable to rturn the salute because he
had no powder. The Carolnes are be-
lieved to be in practically the same
condition.
The Monterey will take to Manila az
prisoners of war the governor and such
other officials of the Spanish govern
ment as her commander may deem ad-
visable.

before the Cabinet the information he had as to what is to be looked for from the Senate, and while not expressing absolute confidence in favorable action by the Senate with the bond feature reincorporated, expressed the hope that there would be a satisfactory ma- jority for the bond provision.
 Should it not become a part of the law many urgent appropriations for the war will have to be held back. The money to be secured from bond sales, 1t is reported, is needed imperatively for the execution of the plans mapped out, and adverse action by the Senate would be likely to interfere unless the money is otherwise provided, and by as speedy method as the issuance of bonds
 The administration is anxious to i'm press this fact upon Congress in order that ample revenues may be at hand for vigorous prosecution of the war There was considerable qualification evident at the session at the general war outlook.
 There was strong belief that the Spanish fleet, instead of sailing across the seas to intercept the Oregon or to come over into the waterSsnear home to begin operations, would be found event ually to be now progressing for some point closer it's own possessions on the other side of the pond. While there is great reliance on the part of all the members of the administration on the subject, there is excellent authority for the statement that the instructions of Admiral Sampson give him great latitude.

On the Other Hand Commerce and Navigation Are to Be

The Kaiser Also Speaks With Satis- faction of the Footholds Secured
 in the Far East
Special Dispatch to The call.

BERLIN, May 6.-The ceremony of closing the session of the Reichstag took place to-day in the White Hall of the Royal Castle. The Emperor in the speech from the throne, after referring to the fruitful legislative results of the session, including the increases of the army and navy, whereby the peaceful security of the empire and an increased guarantee of the maintenance of Euro pean peace have been secured en- phasized the pacific character of the German foreign policy, while at the same time vigorously protecting Ger man rights"
 Referring to the war between Spain and the United States, his Majesty said:
 "The Government will fully fulfill the duties involved by it's neutral position, but. on the other hand, will protect, so far as possible, German navigation and commerce from molestation or in- jury"
 In regard to the Chinese question the Emperor said:
 "The dispatch of a squadron to Kiao- chau to demand atonement for the blood of German missionaries made it possible to satisfy our long cherished and fully Just deSlIe u OOldlu loOliloiuS in Eastern Asia capable of commercial development and military defense. This has been accomplished by friendly understanding with China and with out disturbance of the relations be- tween Germany and other states"
 After alluding to the settlement of the Greek finances the speaker said it was the earnest endeavor of the Emperor and his federal allies to promote the economic development of the empire, mitigate the burdens of agriculturists and assure the security and expansion of trade and navigation.
 His Majesty concluded by thanking the Reichstag for the discharge of it's important duties.
