sANTIAGo's NEW GOVERNOR.
Gen. McKibbin Won Special Mention
in the Recent Battle.

Gen. McKibbin Won Special Mention
i'm the Recent Battle.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-General Cham
bers McKibbin, who has been appointed
temporary military governor of Santiago,
is a member of an old and well-known
Pennsylvania family. He was born in
Chambersburg, not far from the famous
Gettysburg battlefield Early in the civil
army and almost Immediately afterwards
was appointed second lieutenant in the
Fourteenth Infantry. His first promotion
was given him on the 10th of June, 1864,
when he was made first lieutenant. On
Aug. Is of the same year he was given a
brevet commission as captain, for gallant
Virginia, and during the operations on the
Weldon railroad At the conclusion
of the war McKibbin chose to re-
main in the army, and on the 5th of
January, 1867, he was promoted to be a
captain in the Thirty-fifth Infantry, and on
May l. 1896, lieutenant colonel of the Twen-
ty-first Infantry. 1t was as lieutenant
colonel of the Twenty-first that he went to
Cuba. During the battle of Santiago his
services were of SO distinguished a charac-
ter as to win for him special mention in
General Skaters official reports. He was
among the officers recommended for promo
tion, and was last week named by the
President a brigadier general of the vol
unteers. That the administration and Cen
erals Miles and Shafter repose great con-
fidence in him is indicated by his appoint
ment as temporary military governor of the
city.
Captain William McKettrick who had the
honor to raise the stars and stripes over the
palace in Santiago, is an aid-de-camp on
the staff of General Shafter. On the 18th of
May he was appointed by the President to
be an assistant adjutant general, with the
rank of captain, and was assigned soon aft
erwards to the Fifth Army Corps, now un-
der Skaters command in Cuba. He is
resident of California.

treason to say that one of the battle ships
has been in the water sixteen months and
that other ships are cCrroded. by the south
ern waters, and have been cruising and in
frequent action without the rest that mod
ern men-of-war require, even in times of
peace. AS one distinguished naval officer
said:
IF the thing is worth doing, it is worth
doing we'll Without the few ships that
need docking, the squadron would not be
greatly impaired. To clean them would take
only a short time. If hurried off to Spain
although, of course, don't know if that is
intended-they may break down, embarrass
the whole fleet and greatly reduce the speed
of the ships which are in good condition.
To my mind. the time spent in getting the
fleet into proper shape for such an impor-
tant undertaking would be doubly repaid
by the results"
Lieutenant Hobson last night went to Rio
Tarquino to inspect again the Cristobal
Colon. The Merritt wrecking crews report
that it is impossible to float her. but naval
officers are inclined to believe that there is
a chance of saving this splendid ship, and
no effort should be spared TO do so. Lieut.
Hobson, in his capacity of expert on naval
construction. may be able to suggest some
plan by which the Cristobal Colon may be
added to the American navy.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-07-18

side OF Santiago would be justified in ig-
noring such action by Toral IL they are in q
position to sustain themselves or effect a
retreat to Havana or any other Cuban point
where they could make stand against our
forces. Those who take this view illustrate
II by saying that If the fortune of wsr had
gone against and Miles had been COM
PEELED to surrender to the Spanish, hs
might as we'll have been expected to sur
render our troops in Florida or at Camp
Alger as for Toral to surrender any of the
forces outside of Santiago, whether techni-
cally under his command or not.
They also point out that at the close OF
the civil war Lee did not undertake to SUR
render any troops except those under his
immediate command Although he was the
commanding general of the Confederacy.
Each commander of a Confederate army
acted independently of all the others in the
matter of surrendering. IT is quite likely
that only those Spanish troops outside of
Santiago that are unable to hold out or to
get to some other Spanish army or fortified
place will go to Santiago and surrender un-
der the terms of Toral's capitulation. The
whole thing is question of military ethics
which each side is very apt to interpret to.
suit its own interests
GeIsfdi Miles has won BOluen OpiIl0t5 Dy
his modest and magnanimous course at San
tiago. AS General Skaters superior officer
and the commanding general of the army
he could have assumed command and en-
tire control of affairs at Santiago immedi-
ately upon his arrival and thus have re-
ceived the capitulation of the city and the
surrender of the Spanish army. Instead OF
so doing, he kept himself in the back
ground, leaving Shafter to reap all of the
credit and glory of his successful campaign.
General Mies's presence at Santiago was
evidently inspiring and helped to bring the
affair to an end, but his part was per-
formed modestly and without any effort at
self-explotment. This manly, self-reserve
and chivalrous treatment of his junior ofl-
Ger has gained many friend for General
Miles; they say 1T shows that he does not
care to wear laurels that might be regarded
as rightfully belonging to some one else.
The one opinion here is that the American
people like that sort of thing in their mill
tary men and that they are glad 10 see
it exhibited by the gallant gentleman
and soldier who commands their army.

Amid impressive ceremonies the Spanish
troops laid down their arms between the
lines of the Spanish and American forces

to the American commander. Our troops,
lined up at the trenches, were eyewitnesses
of the ceremony.
General Shafter and his escort. accom-
panied 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 cere-
monies 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. At the same time
all the regimental bands in our line played

President McKinleys congratulatory tele-
gram was read to each regiment. The Thir-

forces are to encamp outside of our lines.

Entered Santiago HarbOr.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guanta-
namo Bay, July II, p. m.-At 9
o'clock this morning-the hour of
the formal surrender of the 10000
Spanish troops at Santiago and
the 10000 others in the district of
eastern Cuba, which the Spanish
have agreed to evacuate-the
Spanish flag was lowered from
Moro Castle. Steam launches
from the New York, Brooklyn and
Vixen entered the harbor this
morning and examined the bat
teries, the wrecks of the Merri-
mac and the sunken Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes, and the
torpedo firing station. They dis
covered six Spanish merchant
steamers and one small gunboat
in the harbor, and a prize crew
was placed upon the latter.
This afternoon the torpedoes
were taken UP or exploded, after
which the Red Cross steamer
State of Texas entered to give as
sistance to the sick or wounded in
the city. The war ships may not
enter the harbor for several days,
probably not until after the ar
rangements have been completed
for transporting the Spanish pris-
oners to Spain. Nearly all the
American men-of-war are now in
Guantanamo bay.
Watson's squadron is preparing
to go to Spain, and several vessels
are preparing for the expedition to
Porto Rico.
The auxiliary cruiser Yale, with
General Miles, will probably leave
for Porto Rico in the course of a
day or two. General Miles says a
sufficient force will be sent to the
island at once to take and hold it.
