Ihe news of the capituiation of San

disappointment, because it was hoped
that, although Gen. ToraI was in a
desperate condition, the spread Of vel
low fever might in a few days have
compelled the Americans to raise the
siege and retire. Official information
regarding the conditions of surrender
Is anXiously awaited.
The governments unusual reticence
concerning the long dispatches receiv-
ed from Capt. Gen. Blanco causes anx-
iety. The correspondent notes as a
significant fact, that a certain Cuban
magnate, who had always declared
that he would remain in Cuba as long
as he had hope of the island being pre-
served to Spain, has left Havana for
some Tnblockaded port, where he hopes
to find neutral ship to take him to
Europe.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
An Experiment Will Probably Be

MaOc santiago province.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The politi-
cal status Of Santiago and its method of
government and administration are now
receiving earnest attention from the
authorities here, for, with the acquisi-
tion Of several thousand square miles
Of Cuban soil, with a large CONNER
cial port as its center, 1t becomes neces-
sary to determine how it shall be ad-
ministered. For the present 1t is ex-
pected the military authorities will
have entire direction of affairs, both
in Santiago city and the surrounding
territory. When the details of the sur
render are carried out there will! be
time to consider the larger question
of the permanent status of this tract.
If the precedent Of Manila is follow
ed, in which case Gen. Merritt was sent
as military governor, then a military
officer will be designated to administer
affairs at Santiago City and there
abouts. But it Is appreciated that con-
ditions are quite different at Santiago
from those at Manila, as the govern
ment has disclaimed a purpose to make
territorial acquisition in Cuba, and has
directed it's efforts thus far to making
Cuba free and placing the Cubans in
control. This condition may lead to a
consideration of the eXpediency Of al
lowing the Cubans themselves to es-
tablish an administration at Santiago,
thus giving them an opportunity of di-
recting its affairs and also giving them
foothold in the island. In that event

doubtlessly figure prominently in the
administration, although President

KEY WEST, Fla, July Is. = Three
prizes were brought here today, but
none of any great consequence, and
the captures were effected with only
ordinary incidents. The English-built
steamer GrenoW Castle, which for sew
eral years piled on the Cuban coast
under the Spanish flag, but on June
last returned to her British registry,
was taken by the Dixie off Cape Cruz
last Sunday. She was bound from
Kingston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo,
with large cargo Of food supplies.
Her captains name Is Rustanas, and
as supercargo she had one Wilson, an
expert mechanical engineer. Lieut..
Layton F. Smith, with two marines
and two sailors from the Dixie, was
put In charge. The prize crew left
Cape Cruz the same day, taking the
western route, but, as the schooner's
chronometer and compass were out of
order, they lost their bearings and mar
rowly escaped being wrecked off Cape
Antonio on Tuesday last. Next, the
vessel blew hole in her boilers and
was obliged to lay up in a little creek
near Jardenitos. Next, her coal gave
out, and, being in need Of temporary
repairs, she was obliged to make for
Dry Tortugas, where she obtained coal
and came on to Key West.
The crew Of the Grenow Castle con-
sisted Of six Spaniards and four ia
maican negroes.
The day before this capture the Dixie
took also two schooners, the Three
Bells and the Pilgrim, both flying the
British flag and both bound for Man
zanillo from Kingston, Jamaica, with
food supplies. The Three Bells was
originally a Nova Scotian boat She
is Of about 125 tons, and the Pilgrim Of
about 250 tons.
Lieut.. S. M. Blunt, with two sailors
and two marines, was put in charge
to bring her to Key West. but she has
not yet arrived.
The British schooner E. P Nickerson
was also among today's arrivals She
was captured off Cape Cruz on June
80, when the Hornet steamed along
side her and informed those on board
the vessel that they were prisoners
There was no resistance.

thinks the event presagas the end Of

had no right to expect" 1t adds: THE

able. They reflect credit upon both
sides"

attitude is somewhat tardy, but un-

spOnded enthusiastically.
spOnded Enthusiastically

SAN FRANCISCO, July is. The
fourth Manila expedition is under way.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon
Maj. Gen. Otis, from his flagship, the
city of Puebla, signaled the transport
Peru to get under way. The signals
were understood by the anxious watch
ers on shore, and by those who had
surrounded the two vessels in small
boats, and were received with great
cheerings. AS the two vessels got up-
der way the cheering increased in
volume and, to the accompaniment Of
hundreds Of steam whistles and the
firing Of bombs and cannon, the two
vessels proceeded slowly down the bay,
past the water front and out to sea.
The soldiers on the transports crowd
ed into the rigging and answered the
cheering of the civilians with hearty
good will and responded to the dipping
flags Of the merchant vessels by wav-
ing their hats and handkerchiefs.
AS the two vessels and the small fleet
accompanying passed the forts the big
guns Of the batteries sent forth their
laundering salute, to which the trans
ports responded with their steam
sirens.
Long before dusk the last good-byes
had been said to the departing vessels
from the decks Of the tugs and the
heavily laden ships departed for their
journey on to Honolulu, where they.
will coal and take on fresh provisions.
Maj. Gen. Otis and staff have their
headquarters on the City of Pueb1a,
which also carries the remaining COM
panies of the Fourteenth United States
infantry; recruits for the First and Sec
ond battalions Of the Eighteenth and
Twenty third regiments; enlisted men
Of the First North Dakota, First
Wyoming and First Idaho; medical Of
f1cers and members Of the hospital
corps, total Of 843 men.
The troops on the Peru consist Of
a squadron of the Fourth United States
cavalry, light batteries Of the Sixth
United States artillery, a detachment
of the Third United States artillery, a
detachment of the signal corps under
Capt. Russell, a detachment Of volun-
teers, medical officers and members of
the hospital corps-about 920 men.
The last orders of Gen. Otis before
leaving were that the remaining trans
ports should sail as soon as possible,
irrespective Of fleets or other expected
vessels. Each one, he said, should go
by itself. If necessary. The Pennsyl-
yania and City Of Rio de Janeiro are
both nearly ready and will probably
be prepared to sail by next Thursday.
The loading of the commissary stores
on these two vessels began today.
Brig. Gen. H. G. Otis has finally been
selected to command the fifth expedi-
tion to Manila. His fleet will consist
of the steamers Rio de Janeiro, St.
Paul and Pennsylvania.
The war department has instructed
Gen. Otis TO relieve the First Utah cav
airy from the expected duty in the
Philippines and to transfer the troop
to the department Of Maj. Gen. Mer-
riam.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Reports

have been slight, as it is said that up
to the present time but five cases have
resulted fatally. If any reports of ad-

No determination has been reached
so far as can be learned as to the form,
of rule, for until the surrender is com
plete there is no disposition to settle
questions that necessarily follow the
surrender. 1t is felt, however, that
much hinges on the action at Santiago,
as 1t is the first Cuban town to be Sc
cured by our army, and to some extent
the method of its administration will
serve as precedent for the admins
tration of other parts OF Cuba when it
is overrun by our army.

WASHINGTON, July Is. = On the
basis of a calculation made on reports

900 in prize money, Schley $4,000, and
the captains of the ships engaged in
the fight each $2,500 The amount that
will go to the sailors cannot yet be
even approximately estimated, but will
possibly be as low as $25 to each man.

gun the work of making up the esti-

Some time ago the Game and Fish
Commissioners of Maine carefully
gathered all the information possible
relating to- the annual expenditures of
people who visited the woods and
waters of the State for recreation. The
result was astonishing, showing that
over SO, 100000 a year was spent in
the State, mostly by people from other
States, who We're attracted by the line

went to the hotelkeepers, guides, gro

Now is the time for the sportsmen
and clubs of the State to question can
didates for the Legislature and request
them to pledge themselves to vote for
a law protecting the game, and for the
appointment of a State Game Warden

a law would draw thousands of visitors

OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN.

VIII the Dernocratic-Popu1is COM
bination explain to the people Of Cali
fornia why plank was put into the
platform upon which Mr.. Mcguire
stands providing for the proposition by
the next Legislature of a constitutional
amendment that will permit the Legis-
lature to adopt such system Of taxation
as it deems wise, provided always that
land shall not be exempt? What de-
mand was there for such a plank? Who
asked for 1t but apostles of the single
tax? Why is 1t thought necessary to
strike down the provisions of the Con-
stitution providing that all property Of
every description shall bear the burden
of taxation? Can it In the face OF
these facts be successfully denied that
the Democratic party and Mr.. Mcguire
have made the single tax direct issue
IN this campaign? Let voters read the
Democratic plank referred to, and then

lature next month bound and pledged

The seventh listed amendment in the
Governors proclamation proposing to
| amend the State Constitution is a dan
| gerous innovation, and should be de-
| feated. It proposes to cut the legls-
lative session in two. In the first part,
| of twenty-five days, bills are to be in
troduced and may be passed. Then an
adjournment is to be had for some
weeks. On reassembling the work is
| to be completed. If the two houses
cannot agree upon a time for reas-
sembling the Governor can by procla-
nation reconvene the body at a date
| fixed by him. But supposing that the
Governor should not find it to his polit-
| ical advantage to reconvene the
houses? He cannot be compelled to do
| so by a mandatory writ. No court can
| coeree him in that matter. So the
| Governor can thus keep the I.egis-
| dangerous power to lodge in the Ex-
ecutive, power to throttle the repre-
| sentative body of the people. 1t is
| provided that no bill shall be intro
duced at the last half or second ses-
sion without consent Of three-fourths
Of the members of the Legislature.
| Now, it is a fact that the greatest leg
islative measures of history became
such by only a small majority. For
instance, the convention which framed
the Constitution of the United States
came very near refusing to admit any
more States into the Union. Taken
as a whole, the proposed amendment
is idiotic, mischievous and snch rad
ical thing that 1t should have far
longer and more deliberate attention
than it can receive in the midst Of an
exciting camOaign.
