Santiago de- Cuba. July II. Sunday, 8
p. m.-The American flag is floating in
triumph over the governors palace at
Santiago de Cuba. General McIiibbon
has been appointed temporary military
governor.
The ceremonies of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost. "A vast concourse
of 10000 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 il would he 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. Op-
posite rises the imposing Catholic cath
edral. On one side is a quaint, bril-
liantly painted building. with broad
verandas-thc club of San Carlos, on
the other--a building of a much the
same description, is the Cafe de la Ne-
nus.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood a picked troop of the Sec
ond cavalry. with drawn sabres. under
command of Captain Brett.
Massed on the stone tagging, be-
tween the band and the line of horse
men were the brigade commanders of
General Skaters division, with their
staff
On the red tiled roof of the palace
stood Captain McKittrick, Lieutenant
Miley and Lieutenant Wheeler, imme-
diately above them, upon the Flagstaff,
the illuminated Spanish arms and the
legend "Vive Alonzo XIII."
THE BANNER UNF'URLED.
All about pressing against the ve-
randa rails, crowding to windows and
doors and lining the roofs. were the
people of the town principally women
and non-combatants. The chimes OF
the old cathedral rang out the hour Of
twelve. the infantry and cavalry pre-
sented arms. Every American uncov-
cred; and Captain McKittrick hoisted
the Stars ana Stripes. As the brilliant
folds unfured in a gentle breeze
against a fleckleSS sky, the cavalry
band broke into the strains Of THE
Star Spangle6 Banner" making the
American pulse leap and the American
heart thrill with joy.
At the same instant the sound OF
the distant booming of Captain Cap
ron's battery, firing a salute of twenty
one guns, drifted in. When the music
ceased, fror. oil directions around our
line came floating across the plaza the
strains of the regmental bands and the
muffed, hodlSe cheers of our troops.
The infantry came to "order arms a
moment later, after the flag was up,
and the banl played Rally Round the
Flag Boys" instantly General McKib-
hon called for three cheers for General
Shafter. which were given with great
enthusiasm, the band playing Sousa S

The ceremony over. General Shafter
and his staff returned to the American
| lines. leaving the city in the possession
Of the municipal authorities. subject
to the control of General Mckibbon.

flowed into the government treasury. AS
a result, the government is spending far
more than it has received or ever viii re-

WASHINGTON CONTRADICTS

Washington, June 15.-An authoritative
statement was made at the war depart
ment today contradicting the report from
Chickamauga that 1000 troops have been
ordered to move at once. 1t is said that
the orders sent to the commanding offiC-
ers at Chickamauga direct the equipping
and arming of the troops at the earliest
possible moment. This, however, is in
line with the general policy of hurrying
up preparations all along the line. The
order did not suggest any movement of
900 men. 1t may be naturally inferred
that the orders to expedite the equipment
will lead up TO subsequent orders for the
movement of troops. Such orders, how
ever, are for the future to bring forth.
In pursuance of the order TO equip, Gen
eral Brooke sent a dispatch TO the war
department today asking as to the where
abouts of ordnance stores essential for
this equipment. The stores are on the
way and although there has been consid-
cradle delay the officials believe this will
be Strengthened out in a few days and
that the work of equipment will be car
ried out.

Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley

CHICKAMAUGANS EXCITED

Chickamauga, June 15.-The report that
fifteen regiments were to leave Camp
Thomas for Tampa during the next few
days was the main subject OF interest
in the camp today and was being eagerly
discussed by both officers and men. Il
was impossible TO confirm the report, as
the army officials refused 10 discuss it,
but nearly every man in camp believ-
ed it.
When the news of a move gained circu-
lation there was general rejoicing among
the soldiers. The greater portion Of them
had been very anxious to get to the front.
and now that there was a fair prospect
Of a number of regiments the boys were
anxious to know just who would be in
cluded in the order. This was not known
and was not to be made public until Ma
jor General Brooke should issue an or
der It was understood that the Eighth,
Ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth New
York, the Third and Fifth Illinois, the
First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Six
teenth Pennsylvania. the Fourth Ohio
and the Eighth Massachusetts would be
among the first TO be ordered 10 the
front.
In addition to these regiments there
were many others which lacked only
small amount of equipment and which
could be equipped for operation without
much trouble.
The rains which had fallen since Sun
day had added materially 10 the comfort
of army life and afforded an excellent
opportunity for active work. Today every
regiment was drilling and maneuvering
