SANTIAGO, July 1S.-The American
flag is floating in triumph over the gov.
ernor's palace at Santiago de Cuba.
General MoKibben has been appointed
temporary military governor.
A vast Concourse Of 10 900 people wit
messed the stirring and thrilling scene.
A finer setting for dramatic episode it
would be difficult to imagine. The
palace, picturesque dwelling in the
Moorish style of architecture, faces the
Plaza de Ia Reina, the principal public
square. Opposite rises the imposing
Catholic cathedral. On one side is a
quaint, brilliantly painted building,
with broad vcrauda-the Club of San
Carlos-on the other building of much
the same description, the Cafe de Ia
Venus.
Across the Plaza was drawn 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 sabers, under
command Of Captain Brett. Massed
on the stone tagging between the band
and the line of horsemen were the
brigade commanders of General Shat
ter's division, with their staffs.
On the red tiled roof of the palace
stood Captain McKittrick, Lieutenant
Miley and Lieutenant Wheeler, lmme'
diately above them, upon the tiagstah,
the illuminated Spanish arms and the
legend, "Vive Alfonso KILL" All
about, pressing against the veranda
rails, crowding to windows and doors
and lining the roofs, were the people OF
the town, mostly women and non'com.
batants. As the chimes of the old
cathedral rang out the hour OF II, the
infantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American uncovered and Cap.
tain Mckittrick hoisted the Stars and
Stripes. As the brilliant folds I'M
furled in a gentle breeze against a tieck-
less sky the cavalry band broke into the
strains of "The Star Spangled Banner,
making the American pulse leap aud
the American heart thrill with joy.
At the same instant the sound Of the
distant booming of Captain Capron's
battery, firing a salute of 2l guns,
drifted in. When the music ceased,
from all directions around our line came
floating across the plaza the strains of
regimental bands and the mutted,
hoarse cheers of our troops. The in
fantry came to "order arms" a moment
later, after the flag was up, and the
band played Rally Round the Flag,
Boys" Instantly General McKlbben
called for three cheers for General
Shafter, which were given with great
enthusiasm, the band playing Sousa 8
''The Stars and Stripes ForeYer."
The ceremony over, General Shafter
and his men returned to the American
lines, leaving the city in the possession
Of the municipal authorities, subject to
the Control Of General McKibben.

RETURNED TORALs SWORD.
Shafter Accepted the Surrender Amid
Impressive Ceremonies s-Presi-
dents Telegram Read.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1S.-Amid
impressive ceremonies the Spanish
troops laid down their arms between the
lines of the Spanish and American forces
about o'clock yesterday morning.
General Shafter and the American di.
vision and brigade commanders and
their stats were escorted by troop of
cavalry and General Toral and his staff
by 100 picked men.
Trumpeters on both sides saluted with
aourishes,
General Shafter returned to General
Toral the latter's sword after it had
been handed to the American com.
mander.
Our troops, lined up at the trenches,
were eye-witnesses 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 ceremonies
took place. Exactly at noon the Amer
ican flag was raised over the palace and
was saluted by 2l guns by Captain Ca
pron's battery. At the same time all
the regimental bands in our line played
"The Star Spangled Banner" after
which President McKinley's congratu-
latory telegrom was read to each regi.
ment.
The Thirteenth and Ninth regiments
of infantry will remain i'll the city to
enforce order and exercise municipal
authority. The Spanish forces are to
encamp outside of our lies.

GENERAL VIEW OF cADIz.

Spanish cabinet VIII N is moved to
make propositions of peace will be able
TO do so without the danger Of bringing
on a riot.
Very imposing and fierce look those
old Notifications which in times past
served to guard the ports Of Spain, but
they are the same kind of morros which
Sampson and Schley pounded to pieces
at San Juan and Santiago. That work,
however, is today unknown to the Span.
ish people. The stories Of those bonn
bardments were twisted by the Spanish
press until they were made to appear as
glorious victories.
When Commodore Watson's squadron
gets through with its target practice off
Cadiz, Cartagena and Barcelona the
stay at home Spaniards will have very
different idea of what the American
gunner can do when he is turned loose.
Covering in her own front door, Spain
will learn from an object lesson what
she has so long refused to believe, and
then she will want to quit fighting.
1t is said that Commodore Watson's
first move will be to take the Canaries
and then establish either there or at
Ceuta, Spain's African penal colony,
naval base of operations. Then he will
commence operations against the Span
ish coast, provided Camara does not
furnish a diversion.
Spain's peninsular coast line is bold
and precipitous, but the principal sea-
ports can almost all be shelled from the
open sea, and therefore cannot be de-
Tended by torpedoes, valuable only in
shallow bays and harbors. The coast
defenses are mostly ancient and many
of their guns of an obsolete class, such
as were used in our civil war. Some
modern guns, however, have lately been
erected in commanding positions, which
improvements are now going on.
The map shows three coasts, one to
the northward, bordering on the Allan
tic ocean, 430 miles long; one to the
southwark, with seaboard on the At
lantic 1870 miles long, and the third to
the eastward, ON the Mediterranean, no
miles long, total stretch of shore Of
1880 miles. The southeast and east
coasts are singularly destitute of natural
harbors. Artificial harbors, however,
have been constructed at Malaga, AL.

SPANISH AT CHURCH.
They Attended Roman Catholic Place
of Warship at Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July lS.-Nearly all
the Spanish prisoners, including Admi.
raj Cervera, attended divine services at
st. Mary's Roman Catholic church yes
terday morning. The services were
conducted by Brother John, one of the
most prominent Of the Order of Re-
demptorists, in the presence of a con-
gregation which taxed the capacity of
its edifice to its utmost. Probably no
service held within its walls for years

more profound impression upon those

ings in which the prisoners are quar-.
tered. Ample provision has been made
for their Comfort. The food is plentiful
and of the best quality and clothes will
be provided for such as will accept.
Captain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, is the
only one of the officers who has refused
to sign the parole pledge. His reasons
for it are that Admiral Cervera was only
required to give a verbal promise, and
that his (Eulate's) rank entities him to
the same privilege. The authorities
here have no doubt that the matter will
be amicably arranged.

ranean commerce and loss almost as
serious as that of New York would be
to us.
Commodore John Crittenden Watson,
to whom has been intrusted the task of
striking this body blow at Spain, may
be depended on to put lots of vim and
vigor into the affair. His naval career
is fairly familiar to the American peo-
pie. When he arrives off the coast Of
Spain, it will not be to play the part
of an artful dodger, as did Cervera II
there are any Spanish warships on the
lookout to receive him, they will have
no difficulty in discovering his location.
The captains who sail with Watson
are all fighters too. A finer set of COM
manding officers of the fighting ships of
the eastern squadron could not have
been selected. Captain Robley Evans is
famous for his love of hostile action
Captain O. Clark of the Oregon, who
brought that magnificent ironclad all
the way round to Key West from San
Francisco to augment Admiral Samp-
son S feet, wanted to tackle Cervera' s
Cape Verde squadron single handed and
was disappointed because he did not en-
! counter the seven vessels of the enemy,
four of them armorclads, ON his race
mp the South American coast.
Captain A. S. Barker of the Newark
is one of the quietest men in the navy,
but he knows how to handle ship
splendidly and has a reputation for
pluck. The Yankee, under Commander
w. IL Brownson, is manned by New
York naval militiamen Commander
Brownson is the man who took the De-
troit past two formidable Brazilian in
surgent armoralads and fired o shot
into one of them for attempting to stop
M American. merchantmen from going
into Rio harbor.
Every man in the crew Of every ship
is anxious TO train gun on Spanish
fort, and III is safe to say that when the
"stop firing" signal is finally hoisted

trance to the lower bay. At about the
center of the isthmus a strong intrench-
ment extends ut length to prevent hos

The bastions and ramparts around the
city itself are strong and up to date.
There are four 12 inch disappearing
guns at Cadiz, besides the necessary
number of smaller guns and good NOR

Our vessels would venture no nearer
than about two miles offshore, where

Yet even at O distance Of seven miles

Along the Mediterranean lie Spain's
richest seacoast cities Since our great
and good friend John Bull holds the
only match which can explode the great
volcano Of Gibraltar we could scrape
past this with impunity, avoiding Ia
rifa, a small Spanish isle east of the
great rock and probably the best forti-
fed post belonging TO the enemy. From
Gibraltar east along the Mediterranean
the shore line forms an elevated rampant
extending 20 miles to Malaga. At the
extremities have been erected strong de.
fensive works, and between these are
scattered Spanish guard and watch
houses. Malaga lies on a level plain,
close to the sea, and can be readily
shelled Proceeding ON toward Barcelo-
ma, we would pass seven good sized
ports.
Cartagena, foremost Of these and an
important seat Of commerce, could be
approached by an open roadstead,
whence we could shell the factory for
making the famous Hontoria guns of
the Spanish navy and numerous ware

ton. Spain would thus lose its princi

A Fine Lot of Commanders.

In sending to Spain an invading
squadron the government is going to ac-
complish several things What most Of
them are is pretty generally understood,
but there is one which has received but
little attention, although it may prove
the most important in regard to the
broad effect which it will undoubtedly
have upon the continuance of the war.
When Commodore Watson has reduced
to crumbling ruins some two or three of
Spains ancient Notifications which the
ignorant dons now fancy impregnable,
the Spanish people will have a much
clearer idea of the might which Uncle
Sam can put into his striking arm.
When this idea is firmly fixed, the
