Government of Santiago.
Washington, July 20--President Me-
Kinley's proclamation declaring mil
itary government in Santiago de Cuba,
will be historical It provides in gen.
eral terms for the government of the
province. and is the first document of
the kind ever issued by president OF
the United States. Adiutant General
Corbin has cabled the document to Gen.
eral Shafter. in command OF the MILL
tary forces at Santiago. The paper is
an authorization and instruction to
General Shafter for the government Of
the captured territory and a proclama-
ton TO the people of the intentions of
the United States regarding them and
their interests.
Protection is offered to all but IL the
civil authorities maladminister their Of
fees the military governor has the pow
er to expel them and install new OFF,
cials, even to the extent of reorganizing
the courts Revenues which belonged to
the old government now go to the con-
uueror, as also all government proper
ty. and the customary taxes will be
used by the military government to
meet the expenses of the civic authori-
ties and the army. Former laws and
former civil officials will be continued
in force as far as possible.

GUANTANAMO HARBoR.

American officer declared that If the
Spanish gunboat Sandoval was disabled
in any way, or IL any arms, ammuni-
tion, public buildings or barracks at
Caimanera or Guantanamo were de-
stroyed the Spaniards would not be
treated as prisoners of war. The flag
was hauled down in the afternoon. -
Yellow Fever Among Prisoners.
From Spanish sources 1t is learned
that the total force in Guantanamo and
Caimanera is about 5000. OF which
number however, only about 5000 are
fit for service, the others being disabled
by sickness and wounds. Steps have
been taken for formal surrender.
What disposition will be made of the
prisoners has not yet been determined
because Of the presence Of yellow fever
among them. A rigid quarantine will
be maintained and 1t is probable that
transports for the removal of the pris-
oners will be sent up the bay and loaded
there instead of having the prisoners
marched down here. ~..-
