SANTIAGO HAS FALLEN.
TOral's Soldiers Must BE
Taken Back to Spain.
ALL OF EASTERN CUBA is NOW OURS

Surrender Includes About 10000 to
$1,000 Men-It Is Likely Now
That the American Army Will Be
Sent to Porto Rico.
A dispatch to The ENQUIRER on
Thursday afternoon announced the
surrender of Santiago on condition
that General Toral and his soldiers
be sent back to Spain at the expense
of the United States, and the Asso'
ciated Press dispatches, published yes.
terday morning, gave some additional
details.
The dispatches in the second edition
of THE ENQUIRER of Wednesday told
of the resumption of the bombardment
and the sending of flag of truce by
General Shafter. The story of further
developments has since been published
in the daily papers.
During the long truce, which vir-
tually lasted a week, both sides gave
their attention to strengthening their
positions and the placing of artillery.
The American engineers made exact
calculations as to the range of the
Spanish trenches and especially of the
more formidable Spanish batteries.
The firing of last Sunday was princi-
pally by the fleet; but on Monday and
Tuesday the land batteries on both
sides were engaged. The fire of the
Americans was quite spirited while it
lasted but that of the Spaniards was
generally feeble, indicating that they
were short of ammunition. The most
notable incident of Monday was fine
shot made by the dynamite gun of the
Rough Riders. One of the Spanish
batteries was especially effective, and
to this the Americans gave their atten.
ton. The dynamite gun was trained
on this battery. The charge of gun
cotton struck within few yards of it,
tore up several trees, dismounted the
principal gun and killed several Span
iards. The shot was fired after Gen
eral Shafter's flag of truce had been
started forward but before the flag
had been seen by the Rough Riders.
General Wheeler carried the flag OF
truce into the Spanish lines. General
Shafter's proposition this time, was a
considerable modification Of that OF
Sunday. He agreed thatif Toral would
surrender, the United States would
send him and his troops back to Spain.
The last proposition resulted in a per,
sonal meeting of the opposing COM
manders between the lines on Wednes,
day morning.
The meeting took place in the val.
ley, about half way between the op.
posing forces. On the American side
there were General Miles, General
Shafter, General Wheeler, General
Gilmour, Colonel Morse, Captain Mi
ley and Colonel Manus. General To-

Arranging the Terms.


SANTIAGO, July 15.-A small de-
tachment of American troops entered
the city this morning to preserve or
der, pending a settlement of the terms
of capitulation. The terms of capitu-
lation are now being debated by COM
mission consisting of Consul Ramsden
(British), General Toral and his chief of
staff, Generals Wheeler and Lawton
and Captain Miley. The American
troops are wild with joy over the sur
render, and the Spaniards also seem to
be we'll pleased with the turn of affairs.
Disorder In Spain.
MADRID, July 15.-The constitu-
tional guarantees were suspended
throughout Spain today. This is
equivalent to a declaration of martial
law and is intended as a precaution
against a threatened uprising of the
Carlists against peace movement.
Sagasta has announced that Spain is
now ready for an honorable peace,
and most of the leading government
officials express themselves as being
of the same opinion.
Watson Will Go to Spain.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-At the war
and navy departments it is said that
the surrender of Santiago and the
peace talk in Madrid will not in the
least retard the preparations that are
being made to send Commodore Wat
sons squadron to Spain. The plan is
for Commodore Watson to make such
a demonstration against a Spanish
coast city as will bring Camara's feet
to the rescue, when there will be an
other naval fight.

J. WALTER DICKSON DEAD.

Rev. J. Walter Dickson, presiding
elder of Columbia district, M. E. church
south, died rather suddenly last Thurs
day night at Anderson, where he had
gone in pursuit of his health. The
following sketch of Mr.. Dickson is
from the Columbia State of Friday
morning:
Mr.. Dickson spent much of his life in
this city, as pastor of the Marion Street
church, in the Columbia Female college,
and in his present Office. He was, there
fore, widely known and as widely esteem
ed. His pleasant manner, quaint humor,
genial disposition, and charitable heart
Won him multitudes Of friends, and not
only in Columbia but throughout the
state and beyond.
Mr.. Dickson was the son of Captain B..
F. Dickson IA braye Confederate soldler),
and was born in Anderson county, near
Townville, August 10, 1S49. He united
with the Methodist church in lS45. After
study in the schools near his native home,
he entered Wofford college, in the prepa,,
ratory department, in 1867, and graduated
with credit in June, 1872. In December,
1872, he Joined the South Carolina confer
ence of the Methodist church and was
sent to Walhalla circuit, charge in the
mountains which demanded hard word
and gave scant support. The young col
legian was as faithful there as in the large
fields paying ample salaries which were
later entrusted to him. From that begin:
ming he rose steadily, serving more and
more important work till his death. He
spent the year 1886 in Charleston, and
after the earthquake was sent to Virginia
and Georgia to ask aid for the shattered
churches. His eloquent presentation OF
this cause is still fresh in the recollection
distinguished hearers. For the last II
years he has served districts, and those
who know, report him as an unusually
able officer. Most certainly he is so es-
teemed here.
On June 10, 1875, while pastor in York
vile, Mr.. Dickson married Miss Anne
NJ. Schorb, daughter OF Mr.. ). X. Schoro
of that town. Nine children were born
to the united pair, eight of whom are still
living.

Users of the telephone should moi
fail to ground their wires during thun

only causes serious loss to the phone

there is not a particle of danger.
Down at Neely's Creek.
A correspondent of The Associate
Reformed Presbyterian, who has beer
in the Neely's Creek neighborhood
among other things sends the follow

that when the milkmaid failed to turr
