Old Glory Floats In Triumph Over the
Ancient Hattiements of the Spanish
Town-Gen. McKibbon in Control.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1s.-The
American flag is floating in triumph
over the governors palace at Santiago
de Cuba. Gen. McKibben has been ap-
pointed temporary military governor.
The ceremony of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost. A vast concourse
of 1C, 900 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that will live for
ever in the minds of all the Americans
present. A finer stage setting for a
dramatic episode it would be difficult
to imagine. The palace, "a picturesque
old dwelling in the Moorish style of
architecture, faces the Plaza de la
Reina, the principal public square.
Opposite rises the imposing Catholic
cathedral. On one side is a quaint,
brilliantly-painted building, with
broad verandahs-the club of San Car
los-on the other, a building of much
the same description, is the Cafe de la
Venus.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by. the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood picked troops of the
Second cavalry with drawn sabers, I'M
der command of Capt, Brett. Massed
on the stone tagging between the
band and the line of horsemen were
the brigade commanders of Gen.
Skaters division with their stats.
On the red tiled roof of the palace
stood Capt McKittriclz, Lieut.. Miiey
and Lieut.. Wheeler, Immediately a bove
them, upon the flagstaff, the illum-
mated Spanish arms and the legend
viva Alfonso MIL"
All about, pressing against the YER
andah rails, crowding to windows and
doors and lining the roofs, were the
people of the town, principally
women and noncombatants. AS
the chimes of the old cathe-
dral rang out the hour of IL the in
fantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American uncovered; and Capt.
McKittrick hoisted the Stars and
Stripes. AS the brilliant folds I'M
furled in a gentle breeze against a
f1eckless sky, the cavalry band broke
into the strains of The Star Spangled
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 tat
terry, firing salute of 81 guns, drifted
in.
When the music ceased, from all di-
rections around our line came floating
across the plaza the strains of the regi-
mental bands and the muffied, hoarse
cheers of our troops.
The infantry came to ''order arms
moment later, after the flag was up,
and the band played Rally Round the
Flag, Boys" Instantly Gen. McKib-
bon called for three cheers for Gen.
Shafter, which were given with great
enthusiasm, the band playing Sousa's
THE Stars and Stripes Forever"
The ceremony over, Gen. Shafter and
his staff returned to the American
lines, leaving the city in the possession
of the municipal authorities, subject to
the control of Gen. McKibbon.

Miss Motifs mother is dead, and the

entertain the proposition, but went on
with preparations for the ceremony.
Miss Mott was greatly perplexed as to
her duty in the matter, but finally de-
cided to comply with her fathers wish.
Williams coolly informed her it was

wedding off, and the guests, groom and

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-With the Sam
tiago campaign successfully closed
there is lulu in the activity of the war
and navy departments, and the officials
expressed the belief that the stirring
developments of the past few weeks
would now give way to the details of
occupying Santiago, the shipping OF
Spanish prisoners to Spain, coping with
the yellow fever situation and prepara'
ton for
The Next Aggressive Campaign.
No reports from Gen. Shafter or Ad-,
miral Sampson were received during
the early part of the day. A dispatch
was received late Sunday night stating
that the entire number of fever cases
up to that time did not exceed 300. This
lowered the estimate by one-half from
that given in press dispatches, and
Was a Source of Satisfaction
to the authorities. Col. Alden, acting
surgeon-general, says the situation is
much less serious than would appear
at first glance, for while the aggregate
of 800 seemed large, it is relatively
small when it is remembered that there
are 1000 troops at the front. Surgeon
Arthur, at New York,
Has Been Given Carte Blanche
to get together at the earliest moment
a large number of contract doctors and
nurses familiar with fever cases. They
will go to Santiago on the Resolute,
which leaves the American line pier
Tuesday morning. Many anxious in'
quiries from relatives aud friends OF
soldiers are coming to the war depart
ment, owing to the fever reports. This
has led to the consideration of the
racticability of getting the
Full List of Fever Patients,
mainly as a means of relieving the
anxiety of those VIII ose friends are not
affected. 1t is thought such list will
be available in day or SO. In the
meantime inquiries have brought def
mite information that Gen. Duffield,
whose condition has been open to much
doubt, was down with yellow fever.
