Governing Santiago.

The present situation at Santiago Is
novel one fors this government has
never been called upon to provide, I'M
der similar conditions, for the admin
istration of territory taken from an
enemy; and, regarded as a precedent,
the rules laid down in the President $
proclamation of this week are of great
Importance. The proclamation itself
is a notification to the captured
province and to the world that in the
administration of the territory which
has passed into our hands, the prec-
cdents established by the usage of the
most enlightened nations will be fol-
lowed
First of all. the announcement is
made that it is not the purpose of the
inhabitants nor upon any party or
faction among them, but to secure to
all the fullest protection in their per-
sonal and religious rights. The old
political relations are severed, and the
people of Santiago will now owe obedi-
ence to the government of the United
States. The military authority which
represents that government is neces-
sarily supreme. but so far as possible
the old municipal laws of the con-
quered territory will be maintained
and will be administered substantially
by the old tribunals, the judiciary ana
constabulary remaining in power until
otherwise provided. All this, of course,
is conditional on the good spirit and
obedience of the people; but, in gen.
eral. the plan is to interfere as little
as possible with the old civil order
of things.
Public property, funds and revenue
pass over into the hands of our govern
ment, but private property will be re-
spected, and if any of it is taken for
the use of the army. it will not be by
confiscation but by payment at fair
price. Churches, schoolhouSeS, his
torical monuments. works of art. etc.
are To be protected. and means are to
be taken to prevent their destruction
or DETACHMENT. All ports and places
which we occupy will be thrown open
to the commerce of neutral powers as
well as our own, except in goods that
are contraband of war.
Here is a programme of administra-
ton which is as far removed as pos
sible from harshness or oppression. II
will minimize the rigors of war: it will
give as free play as possible to the or
binary activities and occupations 81
the people: it will secure life and prop
erty against assault, and it viii give to
Santiago a more equitable government
than it has had for 300 years.
