Santiago.

~ NE year ago to-day Santiago Of
" fered to surrender. This re-
suit was a brilliant achievement
for American arms, yet the situation
at Santiago was what we western
people sometimes call a hard-luck
proposition. That this Spanish strong
hold was doomed. there had been no
doubt. To be sure, there was intense
anxiety in this country, during July's
early days, respecting the fate of the
army commanded by General Shafter
facts that came TO light as the re-
suit of inquiries conducted after the
war ended showed that there was
ample warrant for this feeling of deep
concern r.'h''
But Cervera, against his will, proved
TO be this country's good angel. He
sailed out of the harbor of Santiago
at moment that was like a provi
dence for our forces his fleet went to
the bottom of the sea. Left pent up
in the town, General Torars case was
a hopeless one. Yet the days succeed
ing the destruction of the Cervera feet
lean public. There were delays and
petty pleas and needless rigmarole on
rhe part of the Spaniards.
Negotiations, involving practically
the unconditional surrender of Torals
farmy. Jagged and the situation was
Ffretful. Indeed. only a day prior to
the surrender the press dispatches an
rnounced that Santiago would fight to
s1he end and that Toral had sent a
tterse note to Shafter saying that if the
Americans wanted the city they would
kave to come and take it. A dilemma
Pwas presented. The ugly fact was that
the storming of the town involved ter
Tible loss of life. On the other hand,
in their camps our soldiers not Injured
TO the local conditions. were dying off
like sheep. The alternative involved
"a fearful loss of life whichever the pol
dcy pursued by our side.
Release came suddenly On Wednes-
day. July IA, General Toral sent word
to Shafter indicating his Willingness
TO surrender on the terms that had
recently been proposed to him, and he
asked that commissioners be appointed
TO meet Spanish commissioners and ar
range for the sending Of the Spanish
soldiers back TO Spain. The fall of
Santiago meant the surrender of the
whole of eastern Cuba to the army of
the United States. The surrender of
the city was, as far as all prelimin-
aries were concerned an accomplished
fact at an early hour of Wednesday
afternoon.
In the days that followed there were
delays. The agreement as to exact
terms, especially in regard to the dis
position to be made of the Spanish SOL
diers, was not readily reached; there
were brisk interchanges of kilograms
between Washington and the head
quarters of our army. At length, how
ever, conclusions were reached and, on
the morning of Sunday, July Il, the
stars and stripes fioated over the city
Of Santiago.

His Increasing Strength.

& ENATOR MCBRIDE, republican,
~ of Oregon says that there is lit
tie or no doubt of the nomina-
ton of Bryan in 1900. Word comes from
Delaware that the silver men of that
state, led by ex-Congressman Handy.
an aggressive and able man, are max
ing determined effort to organize the
democracy of the state in the interest
of Bryan. The programme includes the
sending of a Bryan delegation to the
national convention and the nomina-
ton of a gubernatorial candidate, who
will cordially support the national
ticket. Three years ago such an at
tempt would have been so manifestly
futile in Delaware as to be absurd In
its very inception. No one thinks of
speaking of it slightingly now, but, on
the contrary, the gold men admit the
possibility and even proba of its
success.
This confirms the statement made by
the Standard a few days since concern
ing Bryan's growing strength in the
East. Another state in which he has
made positive gains is Massachusetts.
In the Chicago convention he had but
a single vote from the Old Bay State
that of George Fred Williams. Since
then Mr.. Williams has captured the
democratic organization, and it is al
most certain that Massachusetts, will
send a solid Bryan delegation to the
next convention.
That the leader of sc is gaining
ground is the most plainly marked sign
to be observed in the political firma
ment.

says that, about middle June, most of
the regiments had a sick list of more
than twenty per cent. and that, in in
stances, there are regiments with less
than thirty per cent. of the soldiers on
duty or fit for service. One unpleasant
feature in these reports is that they
clash severely with the information that
was given out by the authorities in
Washington during the second fort
night of June, a period a little later
than the time accounted for in the ad-
vices that come by way of the trans
port. 1t was everywhere understood
that the Washington news was based
on Geographic tidings from headquar-
ters at Manila. That was to the effect
that the sick list was a remarkably
small percentage-so small, indeed, that
some of the authorities at Washington
put it in comparison with the death rate
in certain American cities and made
an astonishingly fine showing of health
fitness for the troops at Manila. The
query now is whether the informa ton
from Washington or that via the trans
port is the news to go by The two
reports are in unpleasant contrast and
strangely wide apart.

Baptist Versus Methodist,
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star
The leading denominations prevailing
among the mountains of Virginia, Ken
lucky and the adjoining states are
Methodists and Baptists, and as a rule
they are fairly well divided among the
mountaineers, but occasionally, for
some reason or other an entire COM
munity will be of one faith says a
writer in the New York Sun. | re-
member one season my work took me
to remote section on the headwaters
of a small creek about % miles from
the north fork of the Kentucky river,
and ! had not been there long until
discovered that all my neighbors were
Methodists. They had a good hewed
log meeting house and Sunday school
and were thriving as a congregation.
There was one old chap, though, who
didn't seem to be an enthusiast in the
cause, and one day I got to talking
to him about the condition of af-
fairs.

How the World Carries Its Money,

From London Tid-Bits.
To the initiated a mans nationality
is betrayed by the way he carries his
money. The Englishman carries his
loose in his right-hand trousers pocket
gold, silver and copper, all mixed up
together. He pulls a handful of the
mixture out of his pocket in a large,
opulent way, and selects the coins he
has need of.
The American carries his wad of bills
in a peculiar, long, narrow pocketbOOk,
in which the greenbacks lie fiat; the
Frenchman makes use of a leather
purse with no distinguishing character
istics; While the German uses one gaily
embroidered in silks by the fair hand
of some Lottchen or Nina.
The half-ctVilized capitalist from some
torrid South American city carries his
dollars in a belt with cunningly de-
Nlsed pockets to battle the gentlemen
with the light fingers Some of these
belts are very expensive.
The Italian of the poorer classes ties
up his little fortune in a gaily-colored
handkerchief. secured with many knots,
which he seCretes in some mysterious
manner about his clothes.
A similar course has charms for the
Spaniard: while the lower-class Rus
sian exhibits a preference for his boots
or the lining of his clothes as hiding
place for his savings.

WESTERN MONTANA NEWS


Missoula, July 13.-There was an ordi-
nance introduced at the last meeting of
the CITY council that will contribute
much to the improvement of the city
Streets provided that it passes and is
carried out. This is the ordinance levy
ing city street and alley tax. The
passage of this ordinance will not in
crease the taxes of the city at all, but
will simply transfer to the city treasury
the sum that is paid by residents of the
city that has been going to the general
county road fund. This money will now
be available for the improvement of the
city streets instead of being used for
the county roads outside the city, The
city treasurer and the mayor have fig
ured this out and say that it will mean
that the city will be able to do more
work on the streets than has ever been
done before. This is encouraging, and
now that the Higgins avenue improve
ment has taken a fresh start. with Il
prospect of getting finished in due time,
the outlook for business for the street
department is very good. There is a
large field for the operation of this de-
partment and If the funds are avail
able, as it is said that they will be, the
results ought to show up in better
streets all over the city.

A New Feature.

Missoula, July 13.-J. M. Evans of
this city will try a new feature in the
courts of this county. and that is the
testing of the law on sending man
to Jail and to remain there until fine,
that has been imposed upon him. shall
be worked out The case that Mr..
Evans will test this part of the law on
is the case of H. H. Bennett, who was
sent to Jail for the period of 60 days
and fine of $50 for the stealing of some
blankets at the depot about two
months ago. He applied for writ of
habeas corpus, which was granted, and
the hearing set for Friday, the 14th.
The question that will be argued is,
can man be sent to prison for the fail
ure to pay a fine? Mr.. Evans will argue
that this is contrary to the constitution
of the United States, and a man can
not be sent to prison for not being able
to pay fine. This case will be watched
with great interest by the attorneys of
the state, and If the case is won will
affect large number of men that are
now in prison serving out a fine.

No Complaint Made.

Missoula, July 13.-The South Mis-
soula sheep sheds are doing business
again this year. The residents who
early in the season filed a protest
against the shearing of sheep within
the city limits evidently withdrew their
objections, for none of them have made
remonstrance to-day. The complaint
was made in the spring that the people
of South Missoula would not stand the
shearing again, but there has been no
one ready to-day to declare the sheds a
nuisance and the shearing is proceed
ing rapidly. The shearers have been
having a good time in their own pecul-
lar way and the start was a little slow,
but now that they are getting used to
town life things go better.
