we represent unequivocally the
sentiment of the white people Of
this county and city, hereby for
ourselves and representing them,
proclaim
First. That the time has passed
for the intelligent citizens of this
community, owning 50 per cent.
of the property, and paying taxes
like proportion, to be ruled by
negroes.
=. That we will not tolerate the
action of INSCRIPTIONS white men
in afliliating with the negroes so
that by means of their votes they
can dominate the intelligent and
thrifty element in the community
thus causing business to staSnate
and progress to be out of the
question.
Third. That the negro has dem.
onstrated, by.'antagonizing IL in
terest in every way, and especial
ly by his ballot, that he is incapa-
BILE of realizing that his interests
are and should be identical with
those of the community.
Fourth. That the progressive
element in any community is the
white population, and that the
giving of nearly all the employ
ment to negro laborers has been
against the best interests Of this
county and city, and is a sufficient
reason why the city Of Whining
ton, with its natural advantages,
has not become a city of at least
10000 inhabitants.
Fifth. That we propose IN the
future to give To white men a
large part of the employment
heretofore gwen to negroes. be-
cause We realize that families can
not thrive unless there are more
opportunities for employment for
the different members Of said
members of said families.

Starvation and Misery.
TOWN SACKED AND LOOTED.
Living Skeletons of Spanish Soldiers at

Never Got There-Only 1000 Soldiers
Were In the Garrison.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1S.-Since
o'clock yesterday morning a stream
of refugees has been pouring into the
city, some naked, and all hungry,
skeletons, and footsore. Many had
fallen by the wayside.
The town of Santiago presents dis
NAL sight. Most of the houses have
been sacked and the stores have all
been looted, and nothing to eat can be
had for love or money. In the streets
of the city, at the entertainments, at
the breastworks and at every hundred
feet or so of the barbed wire fences
were the living skeletons of Spanish
soldiers.
Among the arrivals Sunday were the
German, japanese and Portuguese con-
suls and their families, the British
and French consuls having arrived Fri
day.
General Pando was never here, but
July 8, making the total garrison here
1000.
The contact mines in the harbor were
removed the day Admiral Cervera left,
but two chains of electric mines, one
from Estrella Point and the other from
Socapa, are still down.
The armament of the shore batteries
of Santiago consists of five brass g.
inch muzzle-loaders, in the Moro for
tifications; two 6-inch Hontorias, from
the cruiser Mercedes, and three 21-cen-
| timeter mortarS, never used, in the
Socapa upper battery; two useless 81
centimeter mortars, two s-centimeter
muzzle-loaders and four S-inch cent?
meter field pieces in the Estrella bat
terry; one 51-millimeter and one 25mil-
limeter Nordenfeldt and one 37-mil-
limeter Hotchkiss, in the Socapa lower
battery, and two 6-inch Hontorias, two
9-centimeter Krupps and two 15-centi-
meter mortars at Punta Gorda.
Four Spanish merchant steamers

MINES TAKEN FROM HARB0R.
Red Cross Steamer Enters to Give Assist
ance to Sick and Wounded.


PLAYA DEL ESTE, July H. At Q
o'clock this morning, the hour of the
formal surrender of the 10000 Spanish
troops at Santiago and the 10000
others in the district of eastern Cuba,
the Spanish have agreed to evacuate,
the Spanish flag was lowered from
Moro castle. Steam launches from
the New York, Brooklyn and Vixen
entered the harbor this morning and
examined the batteries, the wrecks of
the Mcrrimac and the sunken Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes and the torpe-
do firing station. They discovered
six Spanish merchant steamers and one
small gunboat in the harbor, and a
prize crew was placed upon the latter.
This afternoon the torpedoes were
taken up or exploded, after which the
Red Cross steamer State Of Texas en-
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded in the city. The warships
may not enter the harbor for several
days, probably not until after the ar
engagements have been completed for
transporting the Spanish prisoners to
Spain. Nearly all the American men
of-war are now in Guantanamo bay.

GEN. CHAMBERS M'KIBBEN
Military Governor of Santiago Has Earnet
His Promotion In the Army.

Military Governor of Santiago Has Earned
His Promotion in the Army.
WASHINGTON, July IS. General
Chambers McKibben, who has been
appointed temporary military governor
of Santiago, is member of an old
and well-known Pennsylvania family.
He was born in Chambersburg, not far
from the famous Gettysburg. Early
in the cival war he enlisted in the reg
ular army and almost Immediately
afterwards was appointed a second
lieutenant in the Fourteenth infantry.
His first promotion was given him on
the 10th of June, 1864, when he was
made first lieutenant.
On August IS, of the same year, he
was given brevet commission as cap
tain for gallant services in the battle
of North Anna river, Virginia, and
during the operations on the Weldon
railroad. At the close of the war Nc
Kibbin chose to remain in the army
and on the 5th of January, 1887, he
was promoted to be captain in the
Thirty-tifth infantry, and on May L,
1896, lieutenant colonel of the Twenty
first infantry. 1t was as lieutenant
colonel of the Twenty -first that he
went to Cuba. During the battle of
Santiago his services were of so dis
tinguished character as to win for
him special mention in General Shaft
er's official reports.
He was among the officers recon-
mended for promotion and was last
week named by the President as a
brigadier general Of volunteers. That
the administration and General Miles
and General Shafter impose great con-
fidence in him is indicated by his APP
pointment as temporary military gov
ernor of the city.
Captain William McKittrick, who
had the honor to raise the stars and
stripes over the palace in Santiago, is
an aide-de-camp on the staff of General
Shafter. On the 18th of May he was
appointed by the President to be an
assistant adjutant general with the
rank of captain, and was assigned
soon afterward to the Fifth army
corps, now under Skaters command,
in Cuba. He is resident of Califor-

LEAVES IT ALL TO DEWEY.
Allowed Free Hand to Deal With the
situation.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The attitude
assumed by the German naval COM
manders in the Philippines is without
doubt serious menace and apprehen-
sion to our government. The spirit of
quibbling as between the insurgents
and American forces in the Philip
pines, attributed to the German gov
eminent by its own papers, is far from
satisfactory to this government. Still,
our government is satisfied that its in
terests are safe in the hands of Admiral
Dewey, and is adhering to its original
intention of allowing him a free hand
to deal with the situation. Until he
himself asks for action on the part of
the government it is not the purpose
to make any representations regard
ing the Philippines to the German gov
eminent.
