along the crest Of the elevated ridge
facing the city. President McKinley's
dispatch conveying the congratulations
Of the people of the United States was
read then, and Captain Capron's bat
terry fired a salute of twenty-one guns
as signal that the American flag
waved over Santiago.
On the way through the suburbs the
cavalcade dashed past thousand refu-
gees returning from Caney. Notwith-
standing their accumulated miseries Of
the last fortnight, they still had spirit
enough to cheer General Shafter and
his officers. Shortly after o'clock Gen
eral Shafter reached his headquarters,
somewhat fatigued by the exertion of
the day. but exceedingly well satisfied.
In fact the capitulation was conduct
ed gracefully on both sides. The only
incident which marred the day was oc-
casioned by the conduct CT Sylvester
Scovel, correspondent. When they
came to raise the flag Scovel attempted
to make his way to the roof of the pal
ace with the intention OF participating
in some way in the ceremony. He was
ordered down by the guard. Imme-
diately after the ceremony Scovel
pushed his way to General Shafter and
slapped the generals face He was
promptly arrested.
For the present the municipal and
provincial affairs of Santiago will be
administered by the regular authorities
under the protection Of the American
troops. There will be no material
change until the Spanish troops have
embarked.

Aguinaldo has removed his head

It is reported that Admiral Dewey re-

attention to several acts of the German
vessels not authorized by international
law or naval customs.
Admiral Won Diederichs sent his
flag lieutenant to Dewey with an ex-
planation that the acts specified had
been done without his knowledge.
Later, 1t is said, Admiral Won Diede-
richs complained. to Dewey that the
American ship McCulloch had shown
unnecessary severity in overhauling
the German cruiser Irene. Dewey re-
piled that our officers had done only
what was proper, and would continue
to enforce the laws and customs US
ually applicable in time of war.
I wish to warn the readers Of The
Call and the Herald against many
stories circulating at Cavite about the
relations of the United States forces
to the natives and Germans. The lat
ter are lacking in ordinary naval cour-
tesy, but not to the point Of hostility
as some have asserted. They have
landed some provisions in Manila, but
the stories that they have sent field
artillery and gunners to man the
Spaniards' heavy guns is not true.
Lieutenant Colonel Juan Cailles, in
charge Of the guns in the insurgent
trenches surrounding Manila, informs
me that the Spaniards have placed dy-
Mantle mines Immediately behind their
intrenchments on every road leading
into the city. The mines are connected
by wire with the Spanish headquarters
and pits also have been dug and filed
with upturned lance heads. The bridges
have not been mined. The insurgents

rocket signaling during the fighting.

The natives inside the city say they
received a fortnight ago a concerted
signal to prepare for storming the
walls. A second signal fixing the date
OF the assault has not yet been issued
and they are tired of waiting and are
losing faith in Aguinaldo. The latter.
1t is alleged, finds 1t extremely difficult
to capture the towns Notifications. His
previous successes, 1t is pointed out,
were easy because of the nature of the
country. which suited his skirmishers.
1t is further alleged that the principal
points captured by the insurgents were

cry.
The. insurgents are now bringing ar
tillery around by sea from Malabon.
which is tedious and troublesome work.
They are also obtaining detailed reports
of the condition of affairs from the in
side Of the city.
Admiral Dewey is establishing a more
strict blockade, lest it be invalidated
by permitting neutrals to visit Cavite
and Malabon and send and receive
mails inclosing surreptitious Spanish
dispatches. He has threatened to sta
ton warships opposite the city, which
might precipitate hostilities as the
Spanish officers declare they will GER

range, regardless Of the consequences
a Spanish steamer, the Filipinas, has
just been brought in here in the hands
OF the insurgents. 1t appears that she
was on the north coast and escaped to
China with native crew on board
when the latter revolted, killed the
Spanish officers and brought the vessel
to Cavite.
The Spaniards are daily employing
convicts to fell trees and burn huts on
the outskirts Of the town. Fusillades
continue, but otherwise the position is
unchanged. The stock of flour Is prac-
tically exhausted, but the supplies OF
rice and buffalo meat will last fol
months longer.

A white rocket calls for more ammu-

two old ships guns from Cayite in
Paray, an outpost. and opened fire with
them last night. 1 saw the guns yes

Spanish lines from the top of the in
trenchments at Paray, and one could
see with the naked eye the Spanish SOL
diers moving about in their trenches.
One insurgent was wounded while /
was in the trenches.
A high insurgent official advises me
that Aguinaldo will make no move upon
Manila until the Americans can CO.
operate. The insurgent soldiers are be-
coming impatient for action.

MUNICIPAL REFORMERS MEET
MOST IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
OF TILE LEAGUE.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
and Municipal Corporation Act
Presented-Plan of Committee.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. S0.-The sixth
conference of the municipal league be-
gan this afternoon in the assembly
rooms Of the Commercial club. This is
the most important meeting of the
league since the organization has been
formed. Its purpose is to discuss what
it regards as the first essential Of gen.
eral municipal reform-an ideal or
model system OF government. The task
of preparing such a system was under
taken by the organization at its meet
ing in Louisville, in May, 1897. A COM
mittee Of seven. was appointed, charged
with the duty of preparing essential
principles and a working plan on a
system consistent with American in
dustrial and political conditions.
The results of this work, which has
been constant for eighteen months, are
a set of general state constitution artl-
Giles and municipal corporation act,
which the committee believe will ac-
complish all that is sought.
The organization is representative of
many municipal leagues, Christian gov
eminent leagues, good citizenship
leagues and the like, all over the coun-
try. State organizations are represent
ed. Among the delegates are many
distinguished students of political econ
omy, who are known as advocates OF
new systems of municipal government.
Charles Richardson, vice president,
is presiding, in the absence of President
Carter of New York The delegates
were welcomed by Governor Mount and
Mayor Taggart.
The secretary, Mr.. Clinton Rogers
Woodruff of Philadelphia, read his an
nual report, the subject of which was
1.-The Advance Movement For NUM-
cipal Reform"
DR.. /. S. Rowe, professor of municlpal
government in the University of Penn
sylvania, presented the report Of the
committee on municipal programme. It
contained a proposed constitutional
amendment, treating of four distinct
classes of subject-the relation of the
municipality to the state; the powers
of the municipality; the procedure in
the exercise of municipal functions;
the electoral franchise, and the appli-
cation of the merit principle to the
| administrative service.
The design, the committee stated, was
| to give the municipality more definite
| place in our political system than it at
! present enjoys; to give it that freedom
| of action which is the necessary &C
compartment of growth and expansion,
and to place within its power the de-
termination Oh local Dolby, whenever
such policy is not inconsistent with the
| general welfare of the state.
The committee also submitted a pro-
posed municipal corporation act. under
the provisions of which, they said, il
would be possible for cities, large OF
small, to adopt a form of organization
suited TO their need.
At the Propylaeum tonight, the even
ing session of the league was held. Be
sides the delegates there was a large
attendance of local people. Among the
addresses delivered was one by Samue
B. Capen, president of the Boston
municipal league.
