GOVERNMENT OF SANTIAGO.
Question Now to Be Decided By the
Government.

Washington, July T.-Coincident
with the surrender of Santiago there
are a vast variety of questions which
are being considered by the president
and his cabinet in regard to the future
political conditions which are TO OBJ
tain there. There will have to be set
tied whether the government of San
tiago province shall be a military or
civil one, with military powers vested
in the executive officer, or other form
of administration. Unlike the Philip
pines, which, although nominally in
our possession, are not formally so, all
questions of jurisdiction over the ter
ritory of Santiago must be met imme-
diately. Santiago itself is a city of
about 10000, and in addition there are
large number of people in the cap
tured territory whose interests will
have to be looked after. The CONNER
cial side of the matter also must be at
tended to promptly. Santiago being
ours, the presumption follows that the
blockade maintained by this govern
ment will be declared not to exist and
the place made an open port-the gov
eminent maintaining a strict surveil-
lance to keep supplies from getting by
Santiago and being furnished the
SDaniards.
YELLOW FEVER NEWS.
The only disquieting news received
during the day was as to the yellow
fever conditions at the front, and this
was modified in an encouraging way
later by General Skaters news. 1t was
a dispatch from Colonel Greenleaf
chief surgeon with the army in Cuba,
saying that 16 new cases had appeared.
While this was regarded with some ap
prehension by laymen, the surgeon
generals department considered the
showing entirely satisfactory. Col
onel Alden, acting surgeon general
during the absence of General Stern
berg, said a report of only Is cases was
an exceptionally good showing, as the
number must be taken relatively to the
large number of men at the front. With
the surrender accomplished there would
be better opportunity TO get the men
on high ground and keep them away
from infection.
SENDING SPANIARDS HOME.
Alger endorsed the plan OF Colonel
Hecker for the transportation OF the
Spanish troops from Santiago back to
Spain. 1t provides for an aggregate
of LOCO Spanish officers, with first-class
cabin accommodations, and $4,000 sol
diers, with third-class steerage pas
sage. The colonel says that the Span
ism soldiers will be delivered on board
at Santiago, for Cadiz, or such other
ports as may be designated. 1t is pro-
Vided that the accommodations are to
be kept up to the standard required
by the United States army regulations
as to officers and men, in regard to
the galleys, ventilation. etc. Sub
sistence furnished is tic be equal to the
United States army ration, which is
set forth in detail as a guide to bidders
as to what they must furnish.

Apostle Y0ung'S Explanation of His
Former War Address.
SHOULD DO THEIR DUTY
SAINTS SHOULD GO TO WAR AS
ON MISSIONS.
Thew Were a Peace-loving, Temple
building People, and While op-
posed to All Unnecessary Blood
shed, Would Fight Manfully
When Duty Required It

In his discourse at the tabernacle on
Sunday afternoon, Apostle Brigham
Young turned upon the stirring times
of the present war He said, in part;
II have sons in the army. I said TO
them, You are at liberty to go, but
won't you go just as though you were
on mission. net with desire 10 sheo
blood, but to shed a good influence
upon those around you? l said 10 my
two boys, / enlisted in Uncle sam
army and did my duty, and was lust
as faithful as when on a mission our
boys must carry the spirit OF the gos-
pei with them"
Apostle Young then referred to the
criticism that had been offered upon
the utterance concerning the war
which he had made from the taber-
nacle pulpit two months ago. ION that
occasion he advised the people TO ald
the government with money, rather
than by enlisting.l He said there had
been a great deal Of fuss made about
it, but that he had lived through it.
The speaker then advised the Latter
day Saints not to shirk. b.st do their
duty to the country. He said that they
were not a warlike people. but
temple-building, peace-lovinS people;
Our mission is TO warn people or
calamities to come, and to point out
the place of peace, and We won't do
it with pistol and bayOnet.
He said that they might have 10
fight for country. and should do it man
fully They should teach first their
duty to God, next to country. The
desire was expressed for peace
throughout the United States, and TO
every nation.
Reference was made to the persecu-
tons through which the Mormon peo-
pie had passed. He spoke Of the bayo-
nets and blooGshed he had seen in
civilized country when they were drlv-
en- out, and said that TO more savagery
had been shown by the wild men OF
these mountains than was exhibited by
so-called refined and educated minis
tiers of humanity. He had tried to con-
troll his feelings, however, against that
great wrong. He sustained the consti-
tuition and asked Gods blessing upon
the nation.
Previous to Apostle Young's dis
course. the audience listened to three
returned missionaries. Elders John II.
Taylor and John II. Bailey, from Eng
land, and John D. HagTan. from Scan
dinavia.

THE PHILIPPINE A D
General AguInaldo Appears to BE IN Ally
OF Whom We Need Not He Ashamed.

Of Whom We Need Not He Ashamed.
There has been much talk about the
savage character of the Philippine in
surgents. Probably many of them are o
pretty hard lot. They have never been
fully civilized, and such civilization as
they have come into contact with has
been Of o repellent and brutalizing kind.
1t has meant to them oppression and in
Justice, the whiplash and the thumb
screw. One could hardly wonder If they
preferred to have nothing to do with it,
but to remain savages. If the Philippine
natives had all been angels, the 800
years Of Spanish outrages they have suf-
fered might have been expected to trans
form them into devils.
Nevertheless they are not all bad, nor
all nero barbarians. Their leader, Gen.
eral Aguinaldo, may confidently be
said to be proving himself a good deal
Of q man.. He is showing his ability to
organize and discipline the native
troops, to hold them in hand, to lead
them effectively against the intrenched
Spanish regulars, and thus to win VIC
tories Of considerable magnitude. He is,
moreover, conducting his warfare in a
civilized fashion. with far more regard
for international usages than the Span
iards have shown on their side. To
what extent his character will be further
developed ON the same lines and to what
extent he will show himself q capable
leader Of men in peace as we'll as In
war remain to be seen. At present II
seems judicious to say that he appears
to be IN ally who can be useful to the
American forces there and Of whom we
need Got DO ashamed New York Trib-
uu0.

Highland Light, Mass, June H.-The
flagship San Francisco. with Commander
Howell on board. while attempting to
round Cape Cod In q heavy fog. went
ashore near High Head life saving sta
ton Monday morning, but by the hard
work Of the crew, who threw over q
large quantity Of coal and ballast. and
the assistance a four tugs from Boston,
she came or apparently uninJured.
The cruiser had been out all night and
was making her way back to Province
town. The fog was very thick. n by
some means her navigating officer missed
the big fog whistle on Highland Light
only a few miles away, and. thinking
the ship well to the northward, swung
her head round to the westward. The
ship struck head on, going at a speed &C
about eight knots. The tide had ebbed
about an hour and, after al abortive at
tempt TO back of. Captain Leary gave up
hope of floating the big cruiser At that
time.
A hurried examination did not disclose
any injuries to the ship. and 1t is prob
able that she will not have to be dry
locked. The San Francisco at once
started for Provincetown.
The escape Of the valuable warship
from utter destruction was most for
tunate and was due to favorable wealth

Having in mind these conflicting reports.
the war board scarcely knows where to
give c~redence. though II would seem to
be an extraordinary circumstance that
the least doubt could exist as to the
presence In or absence from the harbor
OF q populous city such as Cadiz OF a
squadron of warships. However, the
weight Of opinion seems to incline to the
presence OF the fleet at Cadiz, owing to
the bad condition Of the ships. Although
acting upon this belief. the war board Is
taking no unnecessary chances of a sur
prise. and by means Of scouts, has pro-
vided for securing timely warming Of the
approach OF any hostile ship to the seat
of war.
Arrangements for the second expedi-
tion of invasion from the United States
for the West Indies are being hurried
at the war department. There seems to
be no doubt that this expedition, IL its
number approaches the first. VIII be
sent from the east coast. The expert
cnce In embarldng the FIRST from Tampa
has demonstrated that other ports.
where the railroad and other facilities
are more adequate that at Tampa, are
much more desirable places for concen-
tration Of troops and their embarkation.
A board of army officers for the past
week has been examining various places
