favor of the bill now under considera-
ton in the House to prohibit the sale

BLOCKADE LIFTED.
Santiago Is Now Virtually United
States port.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-Secretary
Gage called at the white house today
to discuss with the president the mat
ter of providing for the installation OF
customs officers at Santiago and the
establishment of trade regulations at
that port. The officer in charge
will be under the jurisdiction of Gen.
McKibben, initiatory governor of the
province, but his duties relate solely
to the collection and disbursement of
customs revenues. The official will
doubtless be selected from the treasury
force.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The block
ade of the port Of Santiago has been
lifted and proclamation to this effect
will be issued this afternoon or tomor-
row. Notification has been given all
collectors of ports that the place is
now open for the transaction of Or
dinary business by the treasury de-
partment.
The minimum rate of duties imposed
by the Spanish tariff will be collected
on all goods entered at Santiago, that
having been found to be the most prac-
ticable. The customs officer to be in
charge will be announced tomorrow
probably.

MINERS STRIKE.
Trouble In Illinois.

PANA, Ills., July 1s.-Although the
Penwell Mining Co. has given notice
through the newspapers of their in
tention to start work with non-union
miners from Hillsboro this morning
and had large force of deputy sheriffs
on duty to protect them, not a single
miner appeared for work.
The premises of the Penweu mine,
and the streets leading thereto, were
crowded with several hundred union
miners and their wives, ready to pre-
vent them from resuming work. The
police are trying to disperse the crowds
but are not successful.
The whistles of other mines were
blown to get union mems attention
away from the Penwell mine, while
non-uuion men entered the Penwell
mine, but the scheme failed. The sit
uation is considered very grave.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Members
OF the naval war board, with Secre-
taries Long and Alger, met at the
white house promptly at 10 O'Clock
this morning. There is ,the usual
reticence concerning the subjects of
discussion, but it Is believed that they
were the disposition to be made of the
forces about Santiago and the details
of the Porto Rican expedition.
The war board remained :in session
at che white house until'a quarter past
one o'clock. 1t was an unusually long
session. Intimations are given that
the chief business considered
related to the Invasion of Porto
Rico. The report today is that
the war board has decided to increase
the force for the invasion of Porto Rico
from 30, 900 to 0,O0O men. owing to the
difficulty of taking SO we'll fortified a
city as San Juan.

dyke expecting to locate claims,
for all mining land of any
value is already staked out. Miners
say the clean up of the diggings about
Dawson will be between seven and ten
millions.

TO PORTO RICO
Plans Now Practically Completed.


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-It is re-
ported today that the Porto Rico ex-
pedition will be embarked at once
and sent forward next Sunday, unless
in the meantime Spain sues for
peace.
AS 7 result of Gen. .Brooke's visit, the
plans are practically completed, and
orders may be issued at any moment
for additional troops to 60 from Camp
Alger to Newport News and Fernan-
dina for embarkation. The quarter
master general has ships stationed at
these points.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-Genl. Miles
telegraphes that the Gaines and Ca
prom batteries at Santiago are not in
fected with yellow fever, and may be
withdrawn and utilized in the Porto
Rico campaign: also four light-bat-
teries, together with one brigade of
volunteers, which are still on trans
ports, can be used.
Information received through the sur
geon general showslthatmany troops en-
camped on the high hills in the vicinity
of Santiago are free from the fever,
and that it will be safe to send them
with the Porto Rico troops. Genl Fa-
gan, cOmmissary general, is pushing
the purchase of supplies for the expedi-
tion and expects to have all required in
ten days.
Chief Signal Officer Greeley has
turned his attention to arranging tele-
graph communications, and expects to
pick up two English cables that enter
San Juan.
CHATTANOOGA, July 1S--The first
army corps Is prepared to start for
Charleston and other points of embar-
kation for the advance on Porto Rico.
In army circles today it is
given out that the entire first corps
may not, probably will not, go to the
front. Gen. Brooke is anxious to take
the entire corps which has spent 80
much time in training, but in all pro
liability only part will be taken.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-This after
noon it was decided by the war depart
ment that General Wilson's division
of volunteers shall take part in the
Porto Rico invasion. The Fourth
Ohio, Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsyl-
vauia under General Haines now at
Chickamaugs, have been ordered to

THE SURRENDER.
Details of The Ceremony.

IN FRONT OF SANTIAGO, Sunday,
July II, Via Playa del Este, July IS
The city of Santiago was formally sur
rendered to the American forces at 8
O'Clock this morning.
Generals Shafter, Wheeler, Ludlow
Ames, Lawton, and Kent, with 80 Of
ficers of lower rank escorted by q
squadron of cavalry and regiment OF
infantry met the governor, mayor, aud
chief of police, with the archbishop OF
Santiago, in the public square in front
of the Cathedral at that hour, when
the formal turning over of the city to
the triumphant Americans took place.
The Cubans were not officially repre-
! sented.
The American flag was raised over
the building of civil government at
neon, and the light battery fred a sa-
lutte of p guns amid great enthusiasm.
The Red Cross steamer State of Texas,
carrying supplies, with Clara Barton
on board, entered the harbor imme-
diately after the Spanish gunboat AL
varez. which had been surrendered to
the Americans. came out flying the
American flag. Twelve small ships ly-
ing in the harbor were also surrender
ed with the town.
The Cuban flag waved over SOcapa
Castle for few minutes, but it was
lowered and the American colOrs subs
tituted. Moro Castle and the bate
ries in the vicinity were, as the result
of the repeated firing of the American
squadron, ltaken.
A banquet was given by the Spanish
authorities to Shafter at which most of
the commanding officers were present.
There was an abundance of water, but
edibles were scarce and the supply of
coffee was exhausted before all we're
served. There is great destitution
throughout the city.
1t is reported that during the cere.
monies an officer accompanying Gen.
Shafter, and Sylvester Scovel, CORES
pondent of the New York World, be-
came involved in an altercation, in
vel is under arrest.
Poor Santiago ia being cared for
by the Red Cross society as far as
possible. but more aid will have to be
sent from this country. In the body of
United States troops now encamped
on the San Juan hill the surgeon sends
encouraging reports as to the yellow
fever epidemic
SANTIAGO, July 1s.-Shafter has
marched the Spanish prisoners out of
Santiago behind his lines into the
country. and is getting ready for their
prompt embsrkstion in the transports
as soon as they arrive. The shore bat
teries are occupied by the Americans,
and the mines in channel have been
removed.
GUANTANAMO BAY, July 1s.-The
problem of notifying the rest of the
Spanish fourth army corps outside of
those troops which composed the
garrison of Santiago de Cuba, of the
surrender OF Toral's forces, is likely to
cause trouble.
The Spaniards at Guantanamo are
evidently still ignorant of the surrend-
er. and the Cubans under Genl. Perez
have daily skirmishes with the defend
ers of the town, who are apparently
trying to break through the lines and
join the Spanish forces at Santiago de
Cuba.
Gen. Miles says that Gen, Toral will
send officers to the different parts
notifying them of the surrender

Spain Says She Is Still Well Fixed.
MADRID, July 1S.-The terms of sur
render which Toral agreed to are re-
garded as honorable to the Spanish
arms. The troops will probably be
sent to the Canaries and Balearics if
found tainted with yellow fever. Blan-
CO still has hundred Thousand re
gulars and forty Thousand volunteers
under his command.

TRADE WITH CUBA.
Preparation For Resumina The Ore
Trade With Santiago.


BALTIMORE, July 1S.----Prepsrations
are being made for the resumption of
the ore trade between Baltimore and
Santiago. It is the expectation that
business will be in full blast again in
side of month. General resumption
of work ON plantations, railroads, and
mines will simplify the problem of
taking care of the territory now under
the American flag.
Three or four cargoes of Santiago
ore formerly came to Baltimore every
week. Some of it was sent to Pitts
burg. On the sreturn trip the vessels
carried out bacon, lard, flour, and coal.
1t is confidently believed now that all
this large trade will be soon resum-
ed
