tie been carried out the city of San
tiago would have been torn to pieces
before night.
The fleet had the exact range and al
though the city was about eight miles
away and hidden by the hills along the
shore Commodore Schley said that
shells could be dropped into the heart
of the town every two minutes for as
long time as Gen. Shafter thought it
necessary.
seven batteries of artillery were in pO
sition and so placed that S-inch shells
could have been hurled into the town
from all sides. The SpaniardS, how
had even erected barricades in the
street, ready to fight to the very last.
Gen. Shafter and his officers conf
IDENTIFY expected the American loss to
be heavy if the attempt had to be
made to capture the city by assault,
and elaborate hospital arrangements
were made in anticipation of such an
occurrence, a large number of tents
having been erected at Siboney since
the buildings there were burned.
A Period of Suspense.
But while all these preparations were
going forward Gen. Shafter and Gen.
Miles were still hard at work in an at
tempt to avoid the slaughter which
must follow an attack. The telephone
and telegraph wires from the front to
Juragua were burdened all the fore
noon with messages to and from Wash
ingtOn and Gen. Toral was busy in
communication with either Captain
General Blanco or with the government
at Madrid
At about II O'Clock, Gen. Miles sent
an aide de camp from Juragua to Rear
Admiral Sampson telling him the chan
ces for a surrender were good and that
no shots must be fired from the fleet
without definite orders from the shore.
AS the hour of noon approached the
New York ran close in shore at Aqua
dores and took up a position in readi-
ness for the expected ombardment of
the hidden city. The Brooklyn ranged
in the rear of the New York and the
other vessels took up positions pre-
viously assigned to them. The swift
little Hist steamed down to JuragUa to
await word from Gen. Miles.
Noon came and although the expect
ed call to quarters was not issued, the
men fingered anxiously close to their

In the Nick of Time.

Admiral Sampson has not taken an
active part in the negotiations. but he
has been consulted by Gen Miles and
Gen. Shafter, and undoubtedly he will
be considered in the settlement of the
final details of the surrender. He de-
chned to discuss the matter further
than to express joy that the taking of
Santiago was accomplished without
further bloodshed and that the terms
of capitulation were not to be made
public for some time.
Within five minutes of the Hist's ar
rival the signal officers ashore began
sending messages with the wigwag
flag on the hill top to the right of the
ravine in which the ruins of Aguadores
fort lie. This has been selected as a
signal station and from this was tel
egraphed to Admiral Sampson a con-
frmation of the surrender. This mes
sage was as unsatisfactory as was the
F4ists to the officers of the fleet who
were anxious to know the terms of the
surrender and other details. while the
wigwagged message simply set forth
the bare statement that the surrender
of Santiago had occurred
The Iowa was at once ordered to
steam west to Morro castle, evidently
being sent to watch the movements Of
the men manning the shore batteries.

places, eager to begin the work of bonn
bardment. From the bridges of the
warships, the officers trained their
glasses alternately on the signal station
ashore and on the fleet of transports
off Juragua behind which the Hist had
disappeared.
AS one and two o'clock passed with
out an order to begin bOmbardment,
the excitement among the officers who
knew the significance of the delay be-
came intense.
It was a few minutes after 2 O'Clock
when the Hist pushed her way from be-
hind the anchored transports and start
ed on the short run from Juragua to
Aguadores. Rolling and pitching in the
rough sea, the gallant little yacht dash
ed for the flagship signalling as she
pressed onward
The battleship Oregon was the first
vessel in line and the signal 'tThe enc
my has surrendered" was first made
out from the bridge of Capt. Clark's
ship. A cheer burst from the officers
on the after deck and it was echoed by
the men clustered forward.
At almost the same instant the other
ships in the fleet caught the mOmen-
tous meaning of the bright colOred sig
nal flags which flashed at the highest
swaying masthead and a great cheer
from a host of American throats swept
through the squadron from ship to
ship, while answering pennants flew
from each vessel in response to the
New York's repetition of the Hist's
signals.
Eventually the Hist ran alongside the
flagship and delivered her dispatch. It
contained no details.

Santiago de Cuba, July IA. via King
ston, Jamaica, July 15.-The reverse to
the Spanish arms in eastern Cuba is
complete. Santiago has fallen and with
it all the eastern end of the island. Gen.
TOral, the Spanish commander, agreed
to the general terms of the surrender
at a personal interview with Gen. Shat

was present.
The victorious army after cam
paign of three weeks of almost unpre-
cedented hardships for both officers and
men, accepted the news with heartfelt
relief.

at first. All the Spanish troops in the
Fourth corps, the military division of
Santiago province, from line drawn
north from Aserradero, 18 miles west
of Santiago, through Los Palmas, Pal
mas SOrian Alcantaza to Sagua de
Tenamo, on the north coast, and east
ward to Cape Maysi, are surrendered
and the territory is abandoned. Be
tween is, coo and 10000 Spanish prison
ers are taken, about 10000 of whom are
in Santiago. The remainder are at
Guantanamo and others are garrisOned
in the towns of eastern Cuba. All these
troops are to be embarked and sent
back to Spain under parole.
Gen. Shafter bears his honors mod
estly. To a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press he said: The enemy has
surrendered all the territory and troops
east of Santiago. The terms were die
tated from Washington. 1t has been a
ever saw. The difficulties to contend
with were very great. Never during
our civil war were more difficult prob
lens solved. The character of the
country and the roads made it seem
almost impossible to advance in the
face of the enemy. The transpOrta-
ton problem was hard, but all
difficulties have been successfully sur
mounted. Our troops have behaved
gallantly. They fought like heroes,
and 1 am proud to have commanded
them. During all the hardships they
have suffered they have shown resO-
luton and spirit They deserve to con-
quer.
Stubborn Resistance.
The resistance of the enemy has been
exceedingly stubborn. Gen. TOra1 has
proved himself a fOeman worthy of any
mans steel The negotiations which
eliminated in the surrender of Gen.
TOra1 have been dragging on for ten
days with the intermissiOn of Sunday
and Monday when our batteries and
fleet bOmbarded the enemy's position.
Throughout these periods of truce Gen.
TOral has shreWdly fallen back, when
hard pressed, upon the statement that
he was simply q subordinate and pow
erless to agree to the proposals with
out the sanction of his superiOrs, ex-
cept under penalty of being court mar
tailed. At the same time he seemed to
intimate that personally he thought it
useless to hold out any longer. But he
and his garrison were soldiers, he said,
and could die, if necessary, Obeying or-
ders"
It was the personal interview held by
Gen. Shafter with Gen. TOral that the
American general made the Spanish
commander understand that tempOr-
izing must cease and that before noon
today a categorical affirmation to his
offer must be received or the lombard.
ment of the city would begin in earnest.
In the meanwhile all our plans had been
perfected The delay had been utilized
to good advantage. Our lines had been
extended until Santiago was nearly sur
rounded, and our light batteries had been
so posted to be able to do more eff
fective work
In addition arrangements had been made
to land troops at CabanaS, west of the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago.

Home Rule.

Notwithstanding that the chairman of the Flagstaff Literary society did consume nineteen minutes in summing up the fifteen minutes debate. and then decided the "home rulers" had the best of the argument, when he put the subject to vote of the audience they enthusiastically voted the home rule proposition to be no good. So would vote the intelligent people throughout the territory were they called upon to do so. As matter of fact we all want home rule, but want it in the shape of sovereign statehood, which would give us two senators and one representative. This representa- tion would be beneficial. for it could demand the proper recognition from congress. On the other hand, with home rule our conditions wohld not be improved. for we would then be wholly at the mercy-and those cormorants have no mercy-of the %putrid poli- ticians," to use the expression of the Phoenix Gazette, and our chances for statehood indefinitely postponed.
