Santiago to be Governed
AS aConquered State

barking an epoch in American
history, was issued tonight by
direction of President.McKinley.
1t provides in general terms for
the government of the province
of Santiago de Cuba, and is the
first document of the kind ever
prepared by a president of the
United States. By order of Sec
rotary Alger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin
tonight cabled the document to
Gen. Shafter, in command of the
military forces at Santiago. The
paper is not only an auuhoriza-
ton and instruction of Gen.
Shafter for the government of
the captured territory, but also
proclamation to the people of
territory of the intentions of the
government of the United States
regarding them and their inter
estS. 1t marks the formal eS-
tablishment of new political
power in the island Of Cuba, and
insures to the people of the ter
ritory over which the power ex
tends absolute security in their
rights, as we'll as security to
their persons and property. The
full text of the document is as
follows:
"Adjutant Generals Office,
Washington, D. c., July Is, 1898
Gen. Shafter, Santiago de
Cuba: The following is sent you
for your information and guild
ance. 1t will be published in
such manner in both English and
Spanish as will give the widest
circulation in the territory under
your control:
Executive Mansion,
"Washington, D. c. July Il, 1898.
ITO the Secretary OF War
Sir: The capitulation of the
Spanish forces in Santiago de
Cuba and in the eastern part of
the province Of Santiago, and
the occupation Of the territory
by the forces of the United States
render it necessary to instruct
the military commander OF the
United States as to the conduct
which he is to observe during
military occupation.
"The first effect of the military
occupation of the enemy's terri
tory is the severance OF the for
mer political relations of the in
habitants and the establishment
of q new political power. In this
changed condition of things, the
inhabitants, SO long as they per
form their duties, are entitled to
security in their persons and
property and in all private rights
and relations. 1t is nv desire
that the inhabitants of Cuba
should be acquainted with the
purpose of the United States to
discharge to the fullest extent its
obligations in this regard. 1t
will therefore be the duty of the
commander of the army Of occu-
patton to'announce and proclaim
in the most public manner that
we come not to make war upon
the inhabitants of Cuba, nor upon
any party or faction, but to pro
tect them in their homes, in THEN
employments and in their per
sonal and religious rights. All
persons who, either by active or
by honest submission, cooperate
with the United States in it's eff
forts to give effect to this bene-
fetal purpose will receive the re-
ward of it's support and protec-
ton. Our occupation should be
as free from severity as possible.
"Though the powers of the
military occupation are absolute

ton of the inhabitants, the mu-
nicipal laws of the conquered ter
ritory, such as effect private
rights of person and property
and provide for the punishment
of crime, are considered as con-
tinuing in force, SO far as they
are compatible with the new or
der of things, until they are sus-
pended or superseded by the oc-
cupying belligerent and in prac-
tice they are not usually abro-
gated, but are allowed to remain
in force, and to be administered
by the ordinary tribunals, sub
stantially as they were before the
occupation. This enlightened
practice is, SO far as possible, to
be adhered to on the present oc-
casion. The judges and the other
officials connected with the adj
ministration of justice may, if
they accept the supremacy of the
United States, continue to ad
minister the ordinary law of the
land, as between man and man,
under the supervision of the
American communicating chief.
The native cOnstabulary will, Sc
far as may be practicable, be
preserved.
''Ihe freedom of the people tc
pursue their accustomed occupa.
lions will be abridged only when
it may be necessary to do so.
"While the rule of conduct OF
the American commander in
chief will be such as has just
been defined, it will be his duty
to adopt measures of ditferent
kind, if, unfortunately, the courcf
of the people should render sucl
measures Indispensable to the
maintenance of law and order
He will then possess the power
to replace or eXpel the native Of
ticials in part or altogether, t.
substitute new courts of his owl
construction for those that nov
exist, or to create such new o.
supplementary tribunals as ma,
be necessary. In the exercise o
these high powers the command
er must be guided by his judg
ment and his experience and ;
high sense Of justice.
'Onc of the most importan
and most practical problems Will
which it will be necessary to deal
is that of the treatment of prop

Puts a Shot
In front of
THE IRENE,
A German Man-Of-W
The German Admiral Apologies
and Dewey is Satisfied.

The advice of Admiral Dewey
to Prince Henry of Prussia in
command of the German fleet in
the Pacific given some time ago
at Hong Kong turns out in the
light of later events to have been
quite pertinent. In the course of
friendly talk Prince Henry
stated he was going to send a few
ships to Manila to watch Dewey,
to which our admiral laughingly
replied that he would be delight
ed, but advising the German
prince to W3r.l lis commanders
of the danger OF getting in the
way of American shells. "A cable
from London, under date of July
-, states that as the German
cruiser Irene was passing Mari.
veles, off Manila, the other day,
the United States gunboat Hugh
McCulloch was sent after her to
ask her to stop. She refused to
obey and a shell was sent across
her bow, and a small boat went
out to discover what she was do
ing. The German admiral pro
tested, and insisted that German
ships had a right to enter the
harbor without being searched,
a claim which Admiral Dewey
declined to recognize. 1t is re-,
ported that Admiral Won Died
rich, who is in command of the
German squadron at Manila, in
tervied Captain Chichester of
the British cruiser Immortalite,
as to what he would do if the
Germans interfered with the
bombardment of Manila. Capt.
Chichester replied that only Ad-
miral Dewey and himself knew
that.
Previous to this incident the
insurgents on July Is. reported
that the Irene, in Subic bay, had
refused to permit them to attack
the Spaniards on Grande Island.
Our Dewey promptly dispatched
the Raleigh and Concord to in
yeStigate the matter. On enter
ing Subic bay the Raleigh inn
mediately opened fire on the
forts, whereupon the Irene slip
ped her cable and steamed out of
the bay by the other channel.
The result of the fire of the
American warship was that the
Spaniards, numbering over 500
men, surrendered everything.
This action of the Irene greatly
displeased Our Dewey, who sent
a peremptory message to the
German admiral inquiring wheth-
or America and Germany are at
peace or at war. If they are at
peace he demanded that the Ger
man warships at Manila pursue
a different course. If they are
at war he wanted to know it, so
he could govern himself accord
ingly. The German admiral re-
turned reply which was apollo
getic in tone and satisfactory.
Close on this news comes word
that the destination of Commo-
dore Watson's fleet is the Philip
pines, by way of Spain and the
Suez Canal. If such should turn
out to be the case it will not be
through any fear that Our Dewey
can not take care of himself un
der ordinary circumstances that
relnfOrcementS are sent, but to
protect American interests under
any and all circumstances. Ger
many is maintaining large
squadron in the Philippines and
it is evident that President Nc
Kinley does not propose to be

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
Fheir Indifference 90 Suffering
Their Business Honesty.

Their Business Honesty.
The Chinaman is not wantonly cruel,
but he Is marvelously Indifferent to the
sufferings Of others, says the Con
temporary Review. The cook will COW
er a rat with kerosene and set II
alignt, not to enjoy lite sufferlngs, but
because he believes its screams will
scare its fellows away. A magistrate
will fan himself gently on the execu-
ton ground on which q yelling male
factor is being gradually cut to pieces,
not because he enjoys the spectacle,
but because It is all part OF his days
work. A crowd OF spectators will
watch child drown because II is no
ones special business to save II, and
because to interfere in what docs not
concern you may give rise to trouble.
From what has already been said DE-
to the keen interest taken by the Chi
nese In money matters, It may be sur
missed that they should be par excel
lence. a nation OF shopkeepers." And
so they are. To their credit be 1t said
that they have thoroughly realized
that bargains are binding. Tho tea
merchant may endeavor In every way
to get the better OF his European con-
frere. but, once the mystic words
quite book"-that Is, enter II in writ
lng-have been uttered, the latter may
rely on the transaction being faith
fully carried through. This compare
lively high standard Of commercial
morality naturally results In an eIAb-
crate system OF credit, greatly to the
advantage OF both contracting parties,
and, though the Squeeze" or per
quisite, enters into every arrangement,
II is not sufficient to stop the wheels
OF commerce, though undoubtedly It
frequently clogs them. To go back on

or to fail to meet your liabilities.
causes a Chinaman to lose face" and
this is to him unbearablo. The sacri-
fees which he will make on the APP
proach OF his new year to enable him
to avoid being posted as lnsolvent are
as extraordinary as they are admir-
able. Nor would II be right to omit
all reference to the fact that to their
justice they frequently add generosity.

one of the good things that often come
out of evils the back-to-the-land move
ment among urban people. The illusions
that draw thousands from the farms to
the cities have been shattered by the
hard conditions entailed by the panic.
The vital. ever-present, inescapable ne
cessities of life are bread and butter. and
these the city can give only at second
hand. Whatever storms may strew the
industrial sea with wreck. food. shelter
and clothing are assured to the man on
the farm, while the idle of the
city must walk the streets in vain search
for work.
