La Crosse, Wis. July 10. In the

fore 4 o'clock in the sash and door

pany. a stone and brick building, most
of il of three stories and covering nan
a block. This was entirely DESTROYED
with all machinery and considerable

was the John Paul Lumber company 5
plant. Most Of one block, Bon feet
square. of piled lumber was burned
over. destroying between a million d
a half and two million feet, all high
grade stuff. The firemen succeeded in
stopping the flames in this block wnlch
was n remarkable piece or WORK.
Across the street east was the Paul
company's barn with fifty TO sixty
horses. They were all taken out with
harness. but the building. although
iron sheeted. burned to the ground.
South of the factory was the 9. l..
Coleman plant, and il was saved with
out loss by reason of the south WIND.
Flames burst out several times INSIDE
the iron sheeting of the planning mill,
but men were watching and did not
let them get a start. James vincent
had a small lumber shed burned ana
Dan Kelly's small house was partly
destroyed. The Segelke-Kohlaus loss
is estimated at $4,000 which is a con-
sentative figure; insurance, $4,000
The John Paul company's loss is est
mated at $4,000, though he condition
of the lumber saved cannot now be de-
termined. He is well insured.

Santiago de Cuba, July 10. The
American flag is floating in triumph
over the governors palace at Santiago
de Cuba. Gen. McKibbin has been APP
pointed temporary military governor.
The ceremony of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure il 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 be difficult
ii imagine. The castle, a picturesque
old building in the Moorish style OF
architecture, faces The Plaza Del
Reina the principal public square.
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 he Sec
ond cavalry, with drawn sabers, IN
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
divisions with their staffs. On the red
tiled roof Of the palace stood Capt. Nc
Kittrick, Lieut.. Miley and Lieut..
Wheeler. AS the chimes of the old ca
thedral rang out the hour of - the
infantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American
and Capt. McKittrick hoisted the Stars
and Stripes. As the brilliant folds I'M
furled in a gentle breeze against a
fleckless sky the cavalry band broke
into the strains of THE Star Spangled
Banner" making the American pulse
leap and the American heart thrill
with joy. At the same instant the
sound of the distant booming of Capt.
Capron's battery, firing a salute of
twenty-one guns drifted in. When the
music ceased frcm all directions
around II line came floating across
the plaza the strains of the regimental
bands, and the muffied, hoarse cheers
Of our troops. The ceremony over,
Gen. Shafter and his staff returned to
the American lines, leaving the city in
the possession Of the municipal au-
thorities, subject 10 the control OF Gen.
McKibbin.

eventually have TO be sent 10 Spain.
BY sending them at once we shall only
keep them q month or so instead of a

Cuba. where il must be remembered
they would be a constant agency for
the spread of yellow fever. Once in
Spain they will have no chance to
break their oaths not TO fight against
us. They will eve get back to Cuba,

fever among the American troops Gen.
Miles said: The doctors report 237
cases. OF curse ii is a serious matter,

stamp it out, as it is a mild form of the
fever and only a few deaths have oc-
CURED. Our troops fought s~plendidly,

been in conference with Gen. Brooke
for two hours. They had before them
a large number of maps Of Puerto

discussed from every point of view.
1t is said that Gen. Miles will go di-
rect from Santiago 10 Puerto Rico and
that Gen. Stone and Col. Michler, of
his staff, will leave New York in a
day or two 10 join the general at San

cuss the naval programme except to
say that active preparations are on
foot for the next forward movement.

The great west seems destined TO
earn It's title by something better than
territorial extent. The popular inter-
est In education and general improve
ment is not at all behind that of the
ssaboard states. Nebraska has the
lowest rate Of illiteracy in the whole
Union, and 1t is said that every one
of the three thousand volunteers in the
present war from Kansas could write
his own name. Western people may be
willing to risk doubtful experiments
in education and legislation, but they
are also quick to correct mistakes, and

stupid form OF conservatism which

a view to protecting her own coast and
embarrassing this country in its opera
tons against Puerto Rico the Spanish
authorities are thinking of dividing

Santiago de Cuba. July 19.-Since 4

refugees has been pouring into the

works and at every few feet Of the
barbed wire fence were living skele-
tons of Spanish soldiers. Gen. Pando
was never here, but $500 men from
Manzanillo arrived on July 3, making
the total garrison here 1000. The con
tact mines In the harbor were moved
the day Admiral Cervera left, but two
chains of electris mines. n from Es-
trella point and the other from Socapa,
are still down. -Four Spanish mer-
chant steamers. the Mortrea, the Reina
de Los Angeles, the Tomos Brookes
and the Mexico and the gunboat Al
varado are now in the harbor. The
market place

will be camped two miles outside the
city limith under guard until their en-
barkation takes place. The docks are
crowded by incoming refugees in a
starving condition, awaiting the ar
rival in the harbor of the Red Cross
society's steamer State of Texas, as
there are no eatibles TO be bought in
the city. The entrance of the refugees
was quiet and peaceful, they viewing
their wrecked homes philosophically as
the fortune Of war. Admiral Samp-
