SKATER R ETURNS TO TORAL,sSWORD
Their Meeting for the Final Ceremonies
 of Surrender.

Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press.
 Santiago de Cuba, July 17, noon.- Amid impressive ceremonies the Span- ish troops laid down their arms to-day The arms were deposited in the armory General Shafter and the American divi- sion and brigade commanders and their staffs were escorted by troop of cav airy and General Toral and his staff by one hundred picked men. Trumpet ishes. General Shafter returned to Gen. eral Toral the latter's sword after it had been handed to the American com- mander. General Shafter and his es- cort, accompanied by General Toral rode through the city, taking formal possession. The city had been sacked before they arrived by the Spaniards At the palace elaborate ceremonies took place, Exactly at noon the American flag was raised over the palace and was saluted by twenty-one guns by Captain Capron's battery.

THE PORTO RICO CAMPAIGN
PRESIDENT TO STRIKE WHILE THE
 IRON IS HOT.
Sunday Conference at White House nt Which Arrangements for the Expe- ditiOn Were Discussed Activity at Tampa and Chickamauga-Orde Indicate an Early Movement of Troops to the Front.

Washington, July 17.-Another con- ference was held at the White house tonight. Adjutant General Corbin was present during a part of the delib- erations. Even before the details of the Santiago campaign have been clear ed away the expedition against Porto Rico absorbs the attention of the presi- dent. He fully realizes that the war can be prosecuted to a speedy and suc- cessful issue, only by pressing the ad- vantages already gained, and as one of the officials expressed tonight: The president proposes to strike while the iron is hot.''
 Arrangements for the Porto Rico ex- petition were under discussion by the president and war board tonight. It may be two or three days before the details of the new invasion are worked out, but it is probable that before the end of the present week the military forces will have effected landing not far from San Juan. Prior to the land ing a naval demonstration probably will be made against the San Juan for tifications. The vessels taking part in the bombardment will be part of the fleet of Admiral Sampson, but what ever vessels have been ordered to Por- to Rico could not be ascertained.
 No definite decision has been reach ed yet as to the strength and person. mel of the land forces to be sent to Por- to Rico. For time it was supposed that few, if any of the troops now un- der General Shafter's command at San tiago would be sent to Porto Rico but it is known now that at least part of Shafter's command will be in the new expedition. General Brooke, who is scheduled to go to Porto Rico, desired to take with him the troops which con- stitute his corps in its entirety. It Is believed by the war officials that not so many men will be needed in addition to the number to be sent from Cuba and only a part of General Brooke's corps will form that part of the Porto Rican expedition, which is to be sent directly from the United States.
 It is understood that General Miles, Wiio ID Io ii"Nc ScliOi di SoiiiHthHu pl liiC operations in Porto Rico, will not re- turn to the United States, but will pro- ceed directly to a point near San Juan with such of the military forces now at Santiago as are to form a part of the expedition against Porto Rico. These and other details of the new expedition were discussed by the president and his advisers tonight. General Miles is in constant communication with Wash ington, and much reliance is being plac- ed upon him in the matter of the selec- tion of the land forces for the Porto Ri- can expedition.

dlfi1cult to imagine. The palace, a pie turesque old dwelling in the Moorish style of architecture, faces the plaza de la Reina, the principal pubic square, Opposite is the imposing Catholic ca thedraL. On one side is a quaint, bril- liantly painted building with broad ve- randas, the club of San Carlos, on the other, building of much the same de- scription, is the Cafe de la Venus.
 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 between the band and the line of horsemen were the brig ade commanders of General Shafter's division, with their staffs. On the red tiled roof of the palace stood Captain Mchlttrlck, Lieutenant Miley and Lieu tenant Wheeler; immediately above them. upon the flagstaff, the illuminat- ed spanish arms and the legend: 'Vive Alfonzo XIII" All about, pressing against the verandah rails, crowding to windows and doors and lining the roofs, were the people of the town, principally women and n-combatants. As the chimes of the old cathedral rang out the hour of 12, the infantry and cavalry presented arms. Every Amer 1can uncovered; and Captain McKit- trick hoisted the Stars and Stripes. As the brilliant folds unfurled in a gentle breeze against fleckless sky, the cav airy band broke into the strains of '"The Star Spangled Banner" making the American pulse leap and the Amer ican heart thrill with Joy
 At the same instant the sound of the distant booming of Captain Capron's battery, firing a salute of twenty-one guns drifted in. When the music ceased, from all directions around the line came floating across the plaza the strains of the regimental bands and the muff1ed, hoarse cheer of our troops The infantry came to "Order arms a moment later, after the flag was upand the band played Rally Round the Flag Boys" Instantly General McKib- bon called for three cheers for General Shafter, which were given with great enthusiasm, the band playing Sousas Stars and Stripes Forever" The cer- emony 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.

IN SANTIAGO HARBOR.
Red Cross Steamer Texas Enters After
 TorpedOes Are Taken Up.


 Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July 17.-7 p. m.-At o'clock this morning the Spanish flag was lowered from Morro Castle. Steam launches from the New York; Brooklyn and Vixen entered the harbor this morning and examined the batteries, the wrecks of the Merrimae and the sunken Span ish cruiser Reina Mercedes, and the torpedo firing station. They discovered six Spanish merchant steamers and one small gunboat in the harbor and prize crew was placed upon the lat ter This afternoon the torpedoes were taken up or exploded, after which the Red Cross steamer State of Texas en- tered to give assistance to the sick and wounded in the city. The warships may not enter the harbor for several days, probably until after the arrange ments have been completed for trans- porting the Spanish prisoners to Spain.
 The contact mines in the harbor were removed the day Admiral Cervera left, but two chains of electric mines, one from Estrella Point and the other from Socapa are still down. The armament of the shore batteries of Santiago con- sist of five brass six-inch muzzle load- CTS, in the Morro Qualifications, two six inch Hontoris from the cruiser Reina Mercedes, and three twenty-one-centi- meter mortars-never used in the So- capa battery; two useless twenty-one centimeter mortars, two eight-centime- ter muzzle loaders and four eighteen timeter field pieces, in the Estrada bat tery; one f1fty-seven millimeter and one twenty ve-millimeter Norden- feldt and one thirty -seven- -millimeter Hotchkiss, in the Socapa lower battery and two six-inch Hontorias, two nine centimeter Krupps and two f1fteen-cen- timeter mortars, at Puntagorda. Four Spanish merchant steamers-The Mor- tera, the Reina de Los Angeles the Tomas Brooks and the Mexico-and gunboat Alvarado are now in the har- bOr

THE GOVERNMENT OF SANTIAGO
Question as to Whether 1t Shall be Milf
 tary or Civil.

Washington, July 17.-Coincident with the occupation of Santiago there are a vast variety of questions which are be- ing considered by the president and his cabinet respecting the future plans which are to obtain there. They will have to settle whether the government of Santiago province shall be mili- tary one or civil one with military powers vested in the executive office or other form of administration. Un- like the Philippines, which, although nominally in our possession, are not formally, all questions of Jurisdiction over the administration over Santiago must be met immediately. Santiago it. self is a city of approximately 40,000 population, and in addition there are a large number of people in the captured territory whose interests have to be looked after. The commercial side of the matter also must be attended to promptly. Santiago being ours, the presumption follows that the blockade maintained by this government will be declared not to exist and the place made an open port, the government maintaining a strict surveillance to keep supplies from getting beyond San tiago and being furnished to the Span- iards.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.
Gamaliel Bradford Makes Charr
 Against the Administers tfon.

GamalieI Bradford Makes Charge
 Against the Administration.
 Boston, July 17.-Gamaliel Bradford. who has been pronounced in his opposi- tion to territorial expansion, has issued an appeal to the democrats of the state. urging them to sink differences on the silver and other questions and unite in an effort to drive the republican party from power and put an end to threat ened submission to military and naval conscription.
 'The real object of the war;" MT. Bradford says, lis not the defeat of Spain, not the independence of.Cuba, nor even the conquest of territory. It is to keep the republican party in pow CT. After the civil war. it's object hav- ing been accomplished the army was dismissed to private life. But with lightning rods thrust out into the Pa- cific at the Philippines or even in Ha- waii the cry will be raised that unless we have an army and navy equal to those of Europe, we shall be constant ly in danger, not only of attack, but of defeat. The appeal to patriotism and support will be worked as successfully as it is now. We shall stand before the world as having taken our place among the nations,'' that is whose peo- pie exist only to support the fighting machines. And as with those peoples, army and navy may be used for inter- nal as well as external purposes. New York or Boston may be overawed with battleships, Chicago or St. Louis may be placed under military rule for alleg- ed insubordination at the bidding of the rulers in Washington just as well as in Havana or Manila

CONDITIONS IN SANTIAGO.
Refugees Pouring In-SkeIetom Soldiers
 The City LoOted.

Santiago de Cuba, July 17-Since 4 o'clock this morning stream of refu- gees has been pouring into the city, some naked and all hungry, skeletons and footsore. Many had fallen by the wayside. The town of Santiago pre- sents dismal sight Most of the houses have been sacked and the stores have all been footed and nothing to eat can be had for love or money In the streets of the city, this morning. at the entrenchments, at the breastworks and at every hundred feet or so of the barbed wire fences were the living skeletons of Spanish soldiers. Among the arrivals to-day were the German, Japanese and Portuguese consuls and their families, the British and French consuls having arrived day before yes terday. General Pando was never here, but $500 men from Manzanillo arrived on July 3, making the total garrison here 1000.
 The market place has been sacked by the troops. Twenty-two thousand re- fugees are quartered at Fl Caney, 5000 a Firmesa and 5000 a Cuabias el Bonito and San Vincento, where they have been living for a fortnight. In one case 800 were crowded into one build- ing, which was regular pig. sty, with a horrible stench. They used the water from the river, where soiled clothing was washed and all manner of filth is floating. The docks are crowded by in- coming refugees in a starving condi- tion, awaiting the arrival in the harbor of the Red Cross society's steamer, State of Texas, as there are no eatables 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 Sampson's last bombardment of Santiago wrecked fifty-seven houses in the city, causing heavy damage.
