PREPARING WATSON'S FLEET
VESSELS TO BE WELL SUPPLIED
WITH AMMUNITION.
WILL SOON Be OFF FOR SPAIN.
Administration VIII Leave Nothing I'M
done That VIII Assure Success
OF the Move.

A Washington special says: Com
mander Brownson, Of the auxiliary
cruiser Yankee, was in conference with
Secretary Long Saturday, arranging
for the trip Of his ship with the large
cargo Of ammunition for Commodore
Watson's squadron in its attack on the
coast Of Spain. The Yankee is at Nor
folk and will sail at once for Santiago.
When she reaches her destination
the big stock Of ammunition will be
placed aboard the battleships and
cruisers.
This transference Of powder and
shells is delicate operation, requiring
time, and IL is probable that the week
will be we'll along before this and the
recoaling Of the Yankee will permit
this squadron TO actually get under
way for Spain.
Owing to the important mission Of
Commodore Watson's squadron and its
possibility Of long absence from an
American port, every magazine on
the ships will be full when the ships
sail.
Admiral Sampson recently made the
requisition for the ammunition sup
plies, as these had run low as a result
Of the engagement with the Cervera
squadron and the frequent Smelling Of
Santiago.
Aside from big equipment Of shells
the squadron is we'll provided with
solid armor-piercing steel shot.
There has been no call for q renewal
of the armor-piercers, as Admiral
SIMPSONS feet seems to have used
very few OF them thus far, combining
their work TO the big explosive shells.
The latter, although not made for
armor-piercing, are tested by the navy
department to pass through four
inches Of solid steel, not exploding
until through the steel. They have
done such execution that Admiral
Sampson has reserved almost his en-
tire stock Of piercing shells.
The navy department will not set q
time for the departure OF Commodore
Watson's squadron, but with the de-
livery Of the Yankees supply Of am
munition very few days will be lost
before this formidable squadron will
be headed for Spain.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Santiago under date Of Sunday at
o'clock p. m says:
The American flag is floating in tri
umph over the governors palace q,
Santiago de Cuba.
General McKibbin has been appoint
ed temporary military governor.
1t was amid impressive ceremonies
that the Spanish troops laid down their
arms between the lines Of the Spanish
and American forces at 8 o'clock Sun
day morning. General Shafter and
the American division and brigade
commanders and their stats were es.
cortsd by q troop of cavalry, and Gen
eral Torsl and his staff by 100 picked
men. Trumpeters on both sides sa.
luted with fourishes.
General Shafter returned TO General
Toral the latter's sword after 1t had
been handed the American comman-
der.
Our troops, lined up at the trenches,
were eyeswitnesses of the ceremony.
General Shafter and his escort, accom-
panied by General Toral, rode through
the city, taking formal possession.
The ceremony Of hosting the stars
and stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure il cost.
A concourse Of $4,000 people wit
messed the stirring and thrilling scene
that will live forever in the minds Of
all the Americans present.
A finer setting for dramatic cpl
sode il would be difficult to imagine.
The palace, picturesque old dwelling
in the Moorish style Of architecture,
faces the Plaza de Ia Reina, the prin-
cipal public square. Opposite rises
the imposing Catholic cathedral. On
one side is a quaint, brilliantly painted
building, with broad verandas-the
club of San Carlos-on the other a
building Of much the same description

Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry-headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing
the palace stood picked troop Of the
Second cavalry. with drawn sabers,
under command of Captain Brett.
Massed ON the stone tagging between
