the Ladrone group that was captured
by this Government, will be perma-
nently retained as a coaling and sup
ply station. For these purposes it is
valuable from it's location between the
Sandwich and the Philippine Islands,
but on the point whether the rest of
them will be kept l am not sure They
may be, and they may not be. The
disposition of the Philippines is unset
tied and depends upon circumstances.
AS to the attitude of Garcia and the
insurgents in Cuba, there is no change
in our intention. This Government has
not been misled in its estimate of the
forces With the oppressive hand
Spain has put on them so long, con-
tending against the conditions imposed
by injustice and oppression, there
would have been little expectation Of
greater abilities than are now shown
by them This Government will have
to treat them kindly but firmly. 1t has
made a pledge to establish a firm and
stable government, and that must be
carried out 1t, therefore, may be, in
the light of the present circumstances
and conditions, many years before af-
fairs there have SO shaped themselves
as to intrust the island to the Gu
bans and finally yield our possession OF
them. The transition must be gradual,
step by step, and the final general
change of control effected only after
thorough training, with the trial of
some leaders at first in minor capaci-
ties This iswhat is to be looked for, and
the gradual transition will consume a
length of time considerably at variance
with what the people must expect"

NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.
Lieut.. Lind Of Minnesota VoIun-
teers Accepts Nomination.

ST. PAUL Minn.), July 22.-Lieuten-
ant John Lind, Quartermaster of the
Twelfth Minnesota Volunteers at Chick
amauga. has formally accepted the
nomination for Governor, rendered to
him by the Democrats, Silver Repubii-
cans and Populists.
His letter does not discuss politics,
nor does he say whether he will return
to the State to take part in the cam
paign. 1t is believed he will stay with
his regiment. Lieutenant Lind was for
merly Republican Congressman from
the old Twenty-second Minnesota Dis
trict, and two years ago was the can
didate of the fusion forces for Cover
nor, being again nominated this year
without opposition.

pushing him about until he was rescued
by the police and escorted to his car
rage. He stopped long enough to an
nounce that all of the men who formed
the crew of the Merrimac We're safe
and in the best of health and that after
he had made his report to the Navy
Department he expected - return i'm
mediately to New York.
The officer was driven at once to the
Army and Navy Club and after brush
ing himself up, he drove over to the
Navy Department. This time he car
ried with him under his arm a large
envelope which bore in the corner the
inscription North Atlantic Squadron"
AS he approached the office of the
Secretary Of the Navy there ensued
another demonstration. A large crowd
had gathered about the doorway and
the hearty welcome it gave the young
officer brought bushes to his cheeks.
Secretary Long came out of his private
office, and grasping Hobson with both
hands, said with sincerity. Lieutenant
| am glad, very glad to see you" Then
he drew him into his office, where the
Lieutenant was introduced to Assist
ant Secretary Allen and was greeted ty
Captain Crowninshield Captain Brad
ford and Pension Commissioner Evans,
who happened to drop in. He spent
half an hour in conference with the Sec
retary and then returned to the club
for rest. Secretary Long stated that
Hobson did not bring the long expected
report from Admiral Sampson and his
brother officers on the destruction Of
the Cervera feet. The exact purpose
of les visit was explained by the fol-
lowing order, under which Lieutenant
HobSon had come to the United States:
United States flagship New York,
first rate, off Santiago de Cuba, July II,
1898
''Sir-You will proceed north on the

receive his instructions regarding il.
2-Re as expeditions as possible in

order that, if it is practicable to do so,

SICK SOLDIERS ARRIVE.
Two Died on the Train and Caused
Sensational Reports.

CINCINNATI, July 22.-A special
hospital train arrived at Newport, Ky,
this afternoon over the Cincinnati
Southern. 1t brought 135 sick soldiers
from Tampa to the hospital at Fort
Thomas. Two previous trains had
brought 225 wounded and sick soldiers
to Fort Thomas, making a total of 800
now in the hospital at that place.
Two dead bodies We're taken from
the train and the reticence of the sur
geons and other attendants caused SEN
sational reports in Newport and at
Fort Thomas. No names or other in
formation would be given out, but it
was denied that the two victims died
from yellow fever. The hospital train
had been expected ever since 10 o'clock
this morning and quite a crowd was at
the depot. There are no wounded SOL
ders in the list, but many are seriously
sick.

counts of Harvey Myers. Secretary of

BLANCo's PROCLAMATION.
lie Announces the Cap .ulation to
Us of Sant;g 70.

HAVANA, July 22.-Captain General
Rlanco has issued the following pro-
clamation announcing the capituIation
of Santiago. 1t IS dated Havana, July
1Tth:
After three months heroic defense
and many bloody con.bats. owing to a
scarcity OF ammunition and victuals,
the garrison Of Santiago de Cuba has
been forced to capitulate under hon
orable conditions and with the honors
OF war. This occurred on the 10th day
of July, when it was recognized by the
brave Spanish General of the division,
who was acting commander of the
place. that resistance was useless. and
that he could no longer hold the place.
Notwithstanding that reinforcements
had been possible. and that though he
should receive such from Manzanillo,
and although he should still cover fur
ther losses and bloody combats, and
although he might put the city in a
better condition of defense, he was
still face to face with the fact that
reinforcements would only make fur
ther inroads upon the already greatly
consumed and nearly exhausted store Of
provisions Of the Spanish garrison.
The city was thus placed in a very
lamentable condition. The situation was
anticipated but it caused great depres-
sion to the Spanish forces.

FIGHTING DESULTORY.
Insurgents Have Begun to Bonn
Bombard Malate Fort

MANILA, July 10, via Hongkong,
July 22.-The insurgents are gradually
getting artillery into action against
Pondo, Santa Meso and Malate. The
fighting is desultory. The Spaniards
have been driven from the trenches
outside Malate, and the insurgents are
strongly intrenched near the walls of
the fort. The insurgents have begun
to lombard Malate fort and have
struck the telegraph company's cable.
1t is said on semi official Spanish
authority in Manila that the recent
news from Cuba is a vile English
fabrication: that in reality the Span
iards have been victorious: that Ad-
miral Camaras squadron has coaled
at Singapore and is expected here on
July 25th.

AGUINALDO'S MOVE.
Declares a Dictatorship and Mar
tial Law Over All the Islands.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The fol-
lowing cablegram has just been re-
ceived at the War Department:
Hongkong, July 22-Secretary of the
Navy: Following is for the Secretary Of
War to the Adjutant General:
Aguinaldo declares dictatorship and
martial law over all the islands. The
people expect independence. Recon-
mend China ponies. ANDERSON.
Colonel Anderson was the senior army
officer at the Philippines when the dis
patch was sent, probably several days
before it's Hongkong date. The refer
ence to China ponies means that Col
onel Anderson desires that kind of cav

Notwithstanding General Garcia's
bitter complaint that he had been ig-
nored, and that the restoration of the
Spanish civil authority in the city of
Santiago was most offensive to him,
ana that in consequence of this he had
been forced to tender his resignation
as General in the Cuban army, he is
going on with his preparations for a
contest with the Spanish forces at
Holguin and Manzanillo quite as
though nothing had happened
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue
decree authorizing all Cubans who
have been driven from their planta-
tions and country homes by the Span
iards, and who have taken refuge for
safety in the cities and towns to re-
turn to the country and go to work
on their farms and plantations, assur-
ing them of protection by his forces.
He has added like permission to those
in his ranks VINO We're recruited from
the farm lands and who were en-
ployed in the fields at the outbreak
of the war.
Altogether it must be confessed that
General Garcia's attitude is inexplic-
bic. His permission to the men in
his ranks to go back to work on the
farms is construed to mean an effort
to disband his forces. But this may
not be altogether justified. 1t is GER
tain a great many of them will con-
tinue to fight.
