ANOTHER FLAG DOWN.
Marb1ehead Orders Garrison at Cal
manera to Surrender.

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
Camp NcCalla, July 10, via Playa del
Este, Guantanamo Bay, July 10
A launch from the Marblehead went up
the bay this afternoon to Veertcaya
del TOrO, opposite Caimanera, and gave
formal notice to the Spanish comman-
der of the surrender of Gen. TOraTs
troops, together with the conditions of
the capitulation of Santiago. At limi-
ted time was fixed for hauling down the
Spanish flag over Caimanera-
The American officer also gave notice
that if the Spanish gunbOat Sandoval
was disabled in any way, or if any
arms, ammunition, public buildings or
barracks at Caimanera or Guantanamo
were destroyed, the Spaniards would
not be treated as prisoners of war. The
flag was hauled down this afternoon.
From Spanish sources it is learned
that the total force in Guantanamo and
faimanera is about 5000. of which
number, however, only about 5000 are
fit for service, the others being dis
abled by sickness or wounds.
Tomorrow steps will be taken for a
formal surrender. What disposition will
be made of the prisoners has not yet
been determined because of the pres
ence of yellow fever among them A
rigid quarantine will be maintained;
and it is probable that transports for
the removal of the prisoners will be
sent up the bay and loaded there, in
stead of having the prisoners marched
down here.

Well Supplied.

San Francisco, July 19.-The Call
prints the news that the crews Of the
whaling vessels at Point Barrow, to
whose relief an expedition was sent on
the revenue cutter Bear are in good
condition, and at no time were they in
danger of famine. Lieutenants Jarvis
and Bertholf and DR.. Call of the Bear
reached Point Barrows by dog trains,
and w. T. Lopp, a school teacher at
cape Prince of Wales, drove a herd of
400 reindeer a distance of $50 miles to
Point Barrows. Mr.. Lopp reached
Point Barrows March 80 and found that
the imprisoned whaIers had plenty of
provisions. The whaIers undou btedly
owe their lives to the efforts of Charles
Brewer, agent at Point Barrows, of the
Liebes Trading company, who sent ma
tives out to shoot wild reindeer. The
natives killed 700 reindeer and food
was plentiful all winter.

Haines' Brigade to Join the

Washington, July 19.-The following
regiments comprising Haines' brigade,
have been ordered to Newport News,
whence they will embark for Porto
Rico:
Third illinois, Fourth Pennsylvania
and Fourth Ohio, comprising from $500
to 1000 men,
In addition four batteries of artillery
making 700 men and 1000 horses, a hos
pital corps of 200, and a signal corps of
1000 men have been ordered to Newport
News. It has not been definitely de-
cided and will not be until Gen. Brooke
has been heard from, which regiments
from the first and second divisions of
his corps shall go to Porto Rico, but
the First and Third Kentucky and
Fifth Illinois are among the probable
selections. The First Illinois is the only
regiment known here to have actually
gone to Porto Rico, with Gen. Miles.
