SANTIAGO !!
SURRENDER OF THE CUBAN
STRONGHOLD.
Morristown Wild with 10y.
No Such Spontaneous Outbreak of Popular
Enthusiasm Ever Before Known

At 3 o'clock on yesterday after
noon the Spanish General Toral
surrendered to General Shafter
the city of Santiago de Cuba, its
defences, batteries, forts, guns, ar
maments and about $4,000 troops,
the territory yielded including the
eastern area Of the island and the
most desirable for many reasons.
At 800 the news was dispatched
to this office, and was at once bull
letined in our peculiar way Of do
ing that particular thing-so that
che who ran might read"
And right here was the centre
of joyous disturbance that quickly
overleaped all bounds and became
the most tremendous, spontaneous
and exuberant popular commotion
Morristown ever knew. Simulta-
neously with our spreading Of the
news the halyards Of the CHRoNI-
Gle flagstaff were put to a strain
by the sudden spread Of American
and Cuban bunting we keep in the
coming tower of this Office for
precisely such feasts as this, and
our telephone was .hoarse with
calls for factory whistles, bells,
bands, guns, bugles and, indeed,
all and singular those and all other
things that in anywise might COM
port with what, it was easy to per-
ceive, was going to be a head1ong
popular outburst of enthusiasm
and symposium Of fire and din.
And hour by hour the swell
of noisy voices that had early told
the hot tale of Santiago" was
whelmed by the mighty sounds Of
all sorts that swarmed from every
where.
With the ebb of the day the
scream Of the whistles, the weird
gamut of the caliope and the Wild
song and chorus Of the steeple
chimes resigned to the shouts Of
striving and swaying crowds, the
kissing Of rockets and riot Of guns
and torpedoes. Into it all would
at times pierce the deep boom of a
distant saluting cannon and the
rattle of drums and strains of in
defatigable bands that for hours
after hours had made the circuit
Of the blazing and thronged thor
oughfares, followed by marching
| and cheering crowds that kept
time to all manner Of impromptu
and irrepressible bedlam.
Near midnight, when the last
vagrant goods box had been burn
led at bonfire, the last mammoth
cracker had spoken, the latest cit
izen had tired, Morristown went to
bed to dream Of the American army
and navy, Of Santiago and glory

GERMANY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

u ERR VON HOLLENBEN, German Embas- sador at Washington, has with due formality
 assured the Secretary of State there is no truth Tn the rumors that Germany intends to interfere with the American Government in the Philippines. The Ambassador is quoted having stated, further, that his Government is fully determined to maintain at
 ude of strices neutrality toward both bellgerents during the war
 While the rumors of a possible interference on the part of any nation in Europe with the conduct of the war have seriously disturbed the American people, 1t is just we'll to have them effectuay dis posed Of by denial from the highest official sources The rumors with respect to Germany had their origin in the Of certain German newspapers and so long they go unreiued they have tendency to rritate the public mind and create in the United States feeling of suspicion toward the Germans which is unjust and unwarranted There a few people in that country made by the competition of Amer- can products in German markets who would like to fight us, but they are but small minority.
 When the with Spain began Bismarck declared the German Government should be careful to main tain policy of action which would keep Germany in touch with the sympathies of Germans in America in order that the natural affections of the emgrants for the fatherland might not be alienated and their trade lost Now the Germans in the United States are loyal any other class, and certainly would not regard with favor any action tending to hamper us in the conduct of the to interfere with our enjoyment of all the fruits of victory we may choose to seize and hold
 As of fact since the first effort made to or ganize European concert for the purpose of pre- venting the there has been serious inten- tion the part of any statesman in Europe inter fere with it. The reception given by our Government the very suggestion of interference showed clearly it would not be permitted. If anything more had been needed than the action of our Government to put end to schemes of that kind it would have been furnished by the attitude taken by the British Govern ment and the utterances of the British people In reference has been imminent any stage of the contest.

A POLITICAL PARAPHRASE.

| n RE the Democratic voters of this city going / \ to have any voice in their local organization
 III the coming campaign? That is question which seems to have answer The outlook is cer-
 ainly calculated to discourage even desperate man than the average unwashed voter. There IS no
 legal machinery by which the people can get control Of the organization. Martin Kellys benehcent pri- mary election law has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and the band of political pi- rates who have grabbed the Democratic reins not ot the sort who yield to arguments of justice. The local Democratic organization is in the hands of such choice spirits as Whispering" Gavin Nc Nab, Slough City Gould and "Tenderfoot' Afford, with Chris Buckley as patron and adviser. To ap- proach these men with suggestion that the rank and he of the party be let into its would elicit horse laugh. Everybody knows what horse laugh is. It resembles the litter of donkey though somewhat mder and more genteel.
 There is talk that the dissent from the auto cratic rule of these political brigands will result in an "open primary" at which the rank and file will be permitted to choose their rulers but this IS mostly phantom. Boss McNab will never let the people in on his combination. The Whispering schemer knows good thing when he 1t. Having the Dem ocracy of San Francisco under his thumb he will keep 1t there.
 Besides "open primary" under the auspices of the manpulaors who, through the Democratic State Committee, have wrenched the local organization from its proud position of popular party, would be in the nature of insult What sort of an "open primary" would they hold? How could the people hope to overcome Boss McNab's heeers and get in their votes? On the whole certain but the trustees of the local Democracy conferring a favor upon the public by refraining from an "open primary" If they should put their toughs against the toughs of Major Harney and Colonel Raney there would certainly be carnage and bloodshed. Perhaps they ought to be commended for their forbearance Their methods raw and uncultured, 1t is true but a subverted and bamboozled Democratic party is better than bloody "open primary, which could result in nothing but the triumph of Bosses McNab Gould and Afford
 party going to get hearing in this city this year? How IS the majority to make its wishes respected? Must the local party continue be ruled by three usurping bosses whose reputations if condensed into one, would bring less in the open market than ST the value placed upon Martin Kellys in Judge Dain- gerhelds court the other day? In other words, how can the Democracy be wrested from the grasp of these political garroters and restored to the people? That Is the funing question of the hour.
 The Republicans going to hold open primary for the election of delegates State and municipal vote. The outlook indicates that the Democrats will have to wait until these conventions make their noi nations and then vote the entire Republican ticket There will probably be other way to disodge the Whispering" boss and his gang

WE HAVE CONQUERED.

As a historian has said, the collective intelligence of troops appears in the sus- tained accuracy of their fire. Accuracy in gunnery is an intellectual accomplish ment An army may have bravery, dis cipline and endurance, but it falls short of the supreme point of efficiency if it cannot reach and maintain this sus- tained accuracy. Especially is the rule apparent in these days of rapid-fire weapons, when a successful charge of mere bravery is almost impossible against well-arned troops; and when certainty of ng-distance fire is the ele- ment which will determine battles and campaigns. In the American army and navy is by far the highest proportion of first-ciasS marksmen that can be found in the world. Our regular army, almost to man, is composed of what abroad would be called good military marksmen; and more than half of the total force repre- sents what even in Germany would be graded as sharpshooters.
 The invitation of the Czar of Russia to the Cramps and to MT. Scott of San Francisco Is nothing less than an admis- sion that in the art and mechanics of naval construction America has passed ahead of European countries.
 Whether we hold Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Is a great question in the worlds diplomacy. A far greater ques- ton has been settled in Iull sight of a watching world-America is a nation to Of moral, intellectual and military states manship. Hereafter the American citizen will have a new respect for himself and will find new respect awaiting him wher- ever he wanderS.

SPANISH RIFLEMEN.

! HEN with the news of Deweys victory there \AI came the announcement that not an American
 ship had been seriously injured and man in the fleet had been killed there was a feeling of some surprise. It had not been expected the Span iards would show themselves expert as the Amer- cans but 1t thought they could fire with sufficient accuracy to hit ship steaming within comparatively close distance of their land batteries.
 Further experience with Spanish aFtillerists in the West Indies has made altogether contemptuous of their fire With the exception of the Winsow no American ship has suffered in the least from either their shot or their shells With this evidence of in accuracy before it still believed however that the Spaniards would prove themselves to be danger ous foes when the battles became question of rife shooting The aiming of big gun to hit target more than a mile away is a matter of mathematical calculation rather than of clear eyes and steady hands The Spaniards not eminent in science, or in the handling of complex mechanism and their failure to their modern artillery with success Is therefore readily explained. Rhe-shooting within ordinary range, however is a matter of hand and eye and it is not easy to understand why the Spaniards have failed with that weapon almost as completely as with the bigger gun.
 For days past Spanish bushwhackers have sur rounded the American marines landed at Guantanamo Bay. Their attacks from the underbrush were car ried almost continuously but the number of Amer jeans killed has been comparatively few. The mo- ment troops advanced the enemy scattered and ran away Their shooting utterly ineffective and it looks as if any American killed in the campaign might just well have his death recorded as the re- suit of an accident fatality of the battlefield
 Clearly the Spaniards not up to the needs of modern war. They have good rifles as any in the world. In fact authorities consider their weapons better than our own. They cannot use them, however, half well as some semi-barbarous tribes. The American Indian is better shot than the Spaniard, and the Pathan of the mountains of Hindostan is so far superior to him as to make the comparison ridiculous. The Spanish race, in fact seems to be as degenerate the Government When people lose the power to shoot straight with rife they are out of the for supremacy any part of the world.
