THE SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
General Shafter on the Close of the Cam,
paign in Eastern Cuba.

paign in Eastern Cuba.
General William r. Shafter tells in
the Century the story of the campaign
in eastern Cuba which he conducted.
and which resulted in the fall of San
tiago and the close of the Spanish
American War. Incidentally he re-
splies to many criticisms.
AS witness of the ceremony OF sur.
render took the general officers with
their stats, and q guard of 100 men.
General Toral brought out with him
his general officers and stats and
body of troops of the same number,
Ger eral Ludlow had given me sword
and spurs taken from the body of Gen.
eral vara del Rey, who had been
killed in the defense of Ell Caney, and
requested me to give them to General
Toral. During the interview prior to
the declaration of surrender, I handed
General Toral the sword, informing
him of the circumstances and the re-
quest from the officer who had secured
It that it be taken back by General
del Rey's companions to his home in
Spain, and given to his family. The
presentation of these articles was en-
tirely unexpected by General Toral,
and as I spoke in English it was not
until the translation was completed
that he fully realized what was do
ing. He then showed great deal of
feeling; in fact, he could hardly speak,
as his emotions nearly overpowered
him. He received the sword and spurs
and handed them to one of his staff,
all of whom were equally surprised
and gratifed.
General Toral then made the formal
declaration of the surrender. He
placed himself in front of the hundred
men that he had been permitted to
bring ouf to represent the Spanish
Army, with his officers hear him. Our
detachment was drawn up in line
fronting them. Advancing to the
front of the centre of his troops, he
drew his sword and presented arms.
and said: ST Surrender the Spanish
troops under ms command, and this
place" I was about twenty feet in
front of and facing him, and, causing
my command to present arms, replied
that 1 accepted his surrender in be-
half of the government of the United
States.
This completed'the ceremony of the
surrender SO far as the troops were
concerned.

United States Consul Boyle at Liv-

department, Washington, some very
interesting information respecting the
great change that has taken place in
England in the matter of street rail
ways. He describes this movement
as one feature of theremarkable "mu-
nicipal socialism" which is taking
possession of British cities, verifying
the comment of Lord Rosebery that
the London common council was con-
Quoting the greatest experiment in
practical socialism the world had ever

ownership of street railroads, electric
and gas lighting plants, wa Ell supply

municipal corporations built dwellings

the subject of electric street railways.

The Primitive Relations OF the Poor.


A very little familiarity with the
poor districts of any city is sufficient
to show how primative and frontier
like are the neighborly relations, says
Jane Adams in the Atlantic. The
fact that the economic condition of all

makes the ready outflow of sympathy
and material assistance the most nat
ural thing in the world. There are
numberless instances of heroic self
sacrifice quite unknown in the circles

cal discomforts involved. The most

A report on the work of the Agricul-

gress by the secretary of agriculture.
According to the report the stations
have, as rule, steadily pursued their
Investigations, have accomplished
much useful work and have increased
their facilities for Investigations. This
has been partly owing to an increase
in the number of officials competent

lowed his anti-expansioniss arguments
to be circulated in pamphle, form among

This is the anti.expansion cause as ex-
