A NEEDFUL PRECAUTION.
Mail Matter From Santiago VIII he
Thoroughly Dislnfecsed.

Washington, July l9.-The preva-
lence of yellow fever at Santiago In
the opinion of the postal authorities
has made it necessary to disinfect the
mails coming from that point. Mr.
Louis Kempner, who was appointed
to succeed Mr.. Eben Brewer as postal
agent in Cuba, was directed to con-
fer with army and navy officials as
TO the necessity for this work, but no
answer having been received to tele-
grams sent him, the postal authorl-
ties here conferred with Surgeon
General Wyman, of the marine hos
pital, and General SternIberg in re-
gard to the matter. 1t was then de-
cided TO fumigate all mail leaving
Santiago and machine for this pur-
pose will be Immediately sent there.
The fumigation will be very thor
ongh, the mail being taken from the
pouches and every parcel allowed to
come in contact with the disinfeCtant
instead Of subjecting it to the process
while in sacks. The work will be in
charge OF persons belonging to some
OF the immune organizations, and the
officials here say that when the pack
ages and letters have passed through
this process there can be no danger
OF their bringing disease to this coun'
try.

not say now many 'Spanmrda were

ago.
Heavy, heavy" he said, dejectedly.
In response to an inquiry he said that
transportation would be required for
between $4,000 and $4,000 men, there
being that much OF force In the cap
itulated district He informed the Of
ficers that Santiago harbor had been
again mined since Admiral Cervera
left.
General Miles remained at Juragua
during the completion OF the agrees
ment Friday and a copy OF the ar
ticles was sent him by General Shat
ter Saturday. THAT Is splendid" he
said, 1--WE have got everything that
we came after"
A large number OF troop ships are
lying of here, and II Is generally boz
lieved that large part Of General
Skaters army will be moved soon.
The camp at Juragua contains
nothing now but hospital tents, with
guard Of two companies. The
blacKened ruins OF few burned
buildings are still visible, but In most
places the DEBRIS has been moved and
the white tents Of the hospital corps
are pitched on the sites Of the burned
buildings. The fever hospital Ia situ-
ated about half q mile across the rail-
way bridge to the northeast of the
town and is well isolated. Two hum
dred and fifty wounded men are still
on the hospital ship Relief, which lies
here. All are recovering rapidly.

Major webb Q. HAYES VVounaeo,

Washington, July ia cablegram
from Playa del Este, Cuba, conveys
the information that Major Webb G
Hayes, of the First Ohio cavalry, son
of the late President Hayes, was
wounded on Friday, July 3, the first
day of the battle of Santiago. At the
request OF Major Hayes, no announce
ment was made of the fact in the
official dispatches. His regiment did
not participate, the regiment now be-
ing under waiting orders at Aampa.
Major Hayes was detached from his
command and assignee TO temporary
duty on General Young's RtaA.
While acting in that capacity MD
horse was killed under him and he
was wounded. That his wound waA
not particularly serious is indicated
by the fact that he is out OF the hos
pital and again ready Sor duty. ,..,

brilliant folds unfurled In a gentle
breeze against Reckless sky, the
cavalry band broke into the strains
of "The Star Spangcd Banner" maxi
ing the American pulse leap and the
American heart thrill with joy,
AT the same INSTANT the sound OF
distant booming OF Captain Copronf

guns, drifted in, When the music
ceased, from all directions around
our line came floating across the
plaza the strains OF the regirNental
bands and the muffled, hoarse cheers
of our troops.
The infantry came TO order arma
q moment later, after the flag was up,
and the band played "RaTly Round
the Flags, Boys" Instantly General
McKibben called for three cheers for
General Shafter, wi ich were given
with great enthusiasm, the band play
ing Sousa's "Hhe Stars and Stripes

The formal sanction by the Madrid
government Of the terms Of capltula-
tion Saturday unrayeled the tangled
skeln OF demands and counter-de-
mands between lie opposing COM
manders which threatened to end the
negotiations and compe. return to
arms.
After numerous conferences had re-
suited in the agreement Already sane
toned by General Blanco, General
Toral decided that the approval of
the Madrid government was neces-
sary before he would leave the city.
General Shafter maintained that nc
such approval was necessary; that
when General Toral agreed to SUR
render the province OF Santiago and
General Blanco sanctioned it, the
agreement OF surrender became an
accomplished fact. He insisted that
General Toral had either surrendered
Thursday or acted I'm bad faith, but
documentary evidence bore out the
fact that General Toral mentioned
that he only capitulalted subject to
his governments approval, and the
six commissioners by whom the arti-
cles were signed at 2:10 o'clock Fritz
day afternoon so ruled The whole
matter was cleared up, however, when
General Toral received the necessary
sanction from Madrid.
The agreement consists of nine ar
ticles.
The first declares that all HOSTILE
ties shall cease pending the agree
ment Of final capitalization.
Second-That the capitalization In
cludes all the Spanish forces nd the
surrender of all war material within
the prescribed limits.
Third-The transportation Of the
troops ITO Spain at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, each force to be EN-
barked at the nearest port.
Fourth-That the Spanish officers
shall retain their side arms and the
enlisted men their personal property.
Fifth-That after the final capitu-
lation the Spanish forces Shall assist
in the removal of all distractions TO
navigat ton in Santiago harbor.
SNth--That after the final captu-
lation the commanding officers shall
furnish a complete inventory OF all
arms and munitions of war and a
roster Of all the soldiers i'm the dis
trict.
Seventh-That the Spanish general
shall be permitted to take the mill
tary archives and records with him.
EAghth-That all guerrillas and
Spanish irregulars shall be permitted
to remain in Cuba If they so elect,
giving parole that they will not
again take up arms against the
United States unless properly ex-
changed,
Ninth-That the Spanish forces
shall he permitted to march out with
all the honors of war, depositing
their arms, to be disposed of by the
United States in the future, the
American commissioners to recon-
mend to their government THAT the
arms of the soldiers be returned to
those "who so bravely defended
them"
The articles were signed Friday
afternoon after four hours session
of the commissioners, who agreed
that the terms of the capitulation
should await the sanction of the Mad
rid government.

Santiago de Cuba, Sunday, July II,
/ p. m.-The American flag is float
ing in triumph over the governor s
palace at Santiago de Cuba. General
McKibben has been appointed mill
tary governor.
The ceremony of hoistlng the stars
and stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost. A vast con-
course OF 10000 people witnessed the
stirring and thrilling scene TIA ut will
live forever in the minds of all the
Americans present. A finer stage
setting for dramatic episode 1T
would be difficult to imagine. The
palace, a picturesque old dwelling in
the Moorish style of architecture,
faces the Plaza de La Rena, the prin-
cipal public square. Opposite rises
the imposing Catholic cathedral. On
one side is . quaint, brilliantly paint
ed building, with broad verandas--
the club of San CARLSON the other
building of the same description is
the Cafe de la Venus.
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
the band and the line of horsemen
were the brigade commanders Of Gem
eral Skaters division, with their
STATS.
On the red4tiled roof Of the palace
stood Captain McKittrick, Lieuteian
Miley and Lieutenant Wheeler, imme-
d.ately above them, upon the flag
STAFF, the illuminated Spanish arms
and the legend, viva Alfonso MIL"
All about, pressing against the YER
anda, crowding to windows and doors
and lining the roofs, were the people
OF the town, pr 1cipally women and
non-comba tants. AS the chimes Of
the old cathedral rang out the uour
of IL, the infantry and cavalry pre-
scented arms. Every AmerinaD mr.
