Atlanta, Ga., July 20. Ten thou sand veterans and their friends filled to overflowing the big auditorium at Piedmont Park this morning and cheered the living heroes of the Con federaey and the names of the dead. Glowing tributes were showered on the, records and achievements of the sons of the South in the war with Spain. A booming July sun sent his hottest rays through the windows of the amphitheatre, but the heat did net diminish the enthusiasm of the assem bled thousands... When Gen. Jno. B. Gordon entered the hall the applause and cheering were deafening. The General, when he reached the plat form, walked frmi one side to the other, bowing Jys acknowledgements again ana againi There was no doubt ing his place in the hearts of the vet erans. ' i , It was one hour and a half after the time set for the opening of the con vention when Gen. Cary Evans, the commander of the Georgia delegation. called the assemblage to order. On the stage, grouped about Gen. Gordon, were (jen. Stephen D. Lee, Gen Cabell of Texas, Gen. "Titre" Ander son. Gen. Chas. E. Hooker, the orator ot tne day. Lxen. J.

Contract Awarded the Spanish Trans. Atlantic CompanyTo be Completed in Twenty-one Daya. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Washington, July 20. Arrange ments were practically concluded by the government to-night for the trans portation of the Spanish prisoners at Santiago from Cuba to Spain. The contract , was awarded to the Spanish Trans-Atlantic Company, rep resented by J M. Ceballo &.Co., of New York. The company agrees to carry the prisoners from Cuban ports to Spain at the rate of $20 for each enlisted man. and $55 for each com missioned officer, subsistence to be furnished by the company on the army ration basis, as provided for in ye, government's advertisement for bids. The award provides also that the company shall have five ships at San tiago in nine days from to-morrow (the 21st instant), two in seventeen days from to morrow, and enough to conaplete the transportation of the prisoners in twenty-one days from to morrow. Two i days aeo Col. HWkp.- in charge of the transportation of troops in the quartermaster general's de partment of the army, went to New York to consult with shipping com panies concerning the transportation of the Spanish troons surrendered at Santiago. Bids, which he had pre viously advertised for. were rmnncJl at the army-huildinfi' in New Vnrt day. Col. Seeker returned to Wash ington this evenine. To-nicbt he bad a conference at the War Department with Becretarv Ahrer. OnartPi-mac. ter General Luddincton .111(1 ArHiitant General Corbin. The bids of the several companies were considered that of the Spanish trans-Atlan tin ue' company finally being accepted, as, in all respects, it was regarded as the best made. On the basis of t. four thousand enlisted men and one thousand officers, it will cost the gov ernment $535,000 to transuort the prisoners. The shipsSvill flv the colors of S nnin nnd .will be manned. nrohahW on. tirely, by Spanish crews.. It was re marked to-night as one of the curious aeveiopments of the war that the United States eovernment should enter into friendly contract with a company, many of whose vessels are auxiliary cruisers to the Snanish naw and some of which have been captured or destroyed by the navy of the United States. SAILED FROM CHARLESTON. Expedition to Porto Rico Illinois, Wis- consin and Pennsylvania Troons. Gen. J. H. Wilson in Command. By Telegraph to the Morning star. CHARisiON,-tfttTy20. With bands playing and .30,000 people cheering, the first expedition to follow Gen. Miles to Porto Rico got away from here at 7 o'clock. The expedition is under the command of Maior General J. H. Wilson and will, when com plete, consist of the Second and Third Wisconsin, the Sixteenth Pennsvl- vania regiments and two companies of the Sixth Illinois. The first two regi ments are on the transports Grand Duchess and "Nb. 30." respectively. and they are at sea. "Nc 21," carrying the Sixteenth .Pennsylvania and the Illinois men are in the stream and will follow them early to-morrow morning. Each of the ships carries a vast quantity of supplies far the troops and On the "No. 21" there are 1,000 bead of mules and the wagon train of General Wilson's division. These men, together With those of the Sixth Illinois and Sixth Massachusetts, which sailed from here last week for Santiago, constitute the First brigade of the First division oi the First Army Corps. The Second brigade of the First division is at Chickamaugra and will follow Gen. Wilson to Porto Rico, either going from this port or Nor folk. The departure of the expedition this afternoon was a fine spectacle, and the water front was crowded for three miles with citizens anxious to catch a last glimpse of the soldiers and to cheer them on . their way. For two days 'and nights the work of loading baggage and provisions on the trans ports has been going forward, under rush orders. All the stevedores in the city were employed at it. They were assisted by details of men from the various regiments, and the 500 negro laborers employed here by the government and destined for work on the roads and bridges in Cuba. The weather has been very warm for two days, but just as the troops were em barked a heavy ram storm came up. As in the case of the Rita expedition, ten days ago, the clouds broke away just as the ships pulled out into the harbor and they went down to the sea under the arch of a perfect rainbow. The scene which accompanied the de parture of the vessels from their docks was one of indescribable enthusiasm. Practically the entire population of the city was in evidence. As the vessels made the stream the bands on shipboard and ashore played national airs and the thousands of people cheered like mad. The expedition will sail directly for Porto Rico and join Gen. Miles. THE LAW'S DELAY. A Jail Stormed and a Prisoner Riddled With Bullets. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. St. Louis, Mo., July 20. A special to the Republic from Natchez, Miss. , says: A telegram received here to-day an nounced that a mob had stormed the Simpson county jail at Westville, killing W. T. Patterson, who was con fined there on the charge of murder ing Lawrence Brinson. The building and the body of the prisoner were burned. The body of the unfortunate man was literally riddled with bullets. Patterson killed Brinson in April, 1897. as the result of a quarrel. He had had four trials, but always escapea sen tence on a technicality and the mob intervened, wearied by the law's de A TO too in V XT-i- I " maat1jai 54, stl KM Yw Haw Mways Bought THE SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.

""CB "Pen ana Merchants Busy Re- ceivin oods Ships Crowd the HaiborFood Being Distributed Among the Suffering. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Santiago de Cuba. Julv 19 Kingston, Jamaica. Julv 20. 10 A via M. -Hundreds of American and Snanish soldiers who but a few davs aco were shooting at each other, crowd the streets of Santiago to-day, meeting anu mixing on the most friendly terms. A general feeling of good fel lowship is evinced everywhere o j - a:, vanquisnea apparently bein equally rejoiced that the strife an uioousnea are over, and that the uorrora oi tne siege are ended. wuaint stores with mimlr Aic piays or wares are opening rapid i es j vixo- iy ana tne storekeepers enrlv """j" xkiuoriwta money and cour " , o J teousiy receive American nnanm-a l he narrow, cobble-paved street, grill- ,, v uukjuuuici a. iuK i me nerce sunshine, are crowded from morning till night by chattering groups of uniformed Spanish soldiers w uunus jx utugnmg rollicking men belonging to Gen.

Alone- the water front under every awning, dozens of women ana children may be seen munching American hardtack, and food is bein? "iouiuuwu very npiaiy aoout tne plaza facing the police station. In the numerous airy cafes the officers of the opposing armies lounge throughout me uay ; me Americans Duying swords. medals and buttons from their late ioes, and all talk cheerily whenever an luwrpreier can De ODtamed. Business Resumed. Santiago to-day presents a bright uu cueenui picture to wnat it did two weefesago. Over thirty steamers fly ataia uiu stripes prouoiv m or near the harbor. Small boats are ply- ingDnskly to and fro on the blue waters, and in .short everything de notes bustle and activitv. The im mense sheds along the water front are aireaoy packed with merchandise, and tne large stores along Marina street are Dusy receiving goods which are being steadily unloaded. Everywhere mere are signs 01 a revival of com mercial activity and nrosneritv. Miss Clara Barton yesterday began distributing supplies, releiviner thou sands of cases of distress from hunger ana sicKness. The ice factory has re sumed work and the water supply win ue tumea on to-aay. The change in the appearance of the city is kaleidoscopic, and a couple of uays, wnen lurtner shipments arrive. will suffice for the normal business to revive. All the stores are open this morning, by Gen. McKibbin's orders, out the saloons remain closed for the present in order to avoid the possi bility of a clash between the soldiers in case of drunkenness. The electric lie-ht plant is workinc Ihe pawnshops are doing a rushing business, their counters being crowded hy people of all sorts df color and condition, pawning heirlooms, clothes. dresses and furniture. Officers tender their medals, spurs and swords, and civil employes offer their tortoise shell, gold-headed canes for a mere song, and which are in turn bought at fancy prices by American soldiers, offi cers or newspaper correspondents as relics of the war. There have been more machetes sold to our men as souvenirs than were laid down on the mornmg of the surrender. Spanish Troops in the City. About 4,000 Spanish troops still re main in the city, but the majority will be removed as soon as a camping ground oeyond the nne pits can be 1 ml if . arranged, xne American troops are being removed from their old encamp ments behind the trenches to cooler and better spots on the hills north of the town. Officers assert that there is not a case of yellow fever in Santiago and that there are but few cases of smallpox. . The streets look fairly clean and show signs of care being taken by the Spaniards to prevent an epidemic dur ing the siege. Gen. Shafter has placed a censor in charge of the cable office and only government dispatches are allowed to be sent to-day. It is said, however, that press and commercial dispatches will be received, subject to the censor's blue pencil, soon, probably to morrow. Spanish merchants who have been interviewed on the subject, say they expect business to revive at once and hope for large i nvestments of Amer ican capital within the next year. No Race Hatred. There seems to be no race hatred, the bitterness being all directed against the Madrid government, which is charged with gross mismanage ment of Cuba and bungling during the conduct of the present war. The hospital headquarters are still located at Juragua, Two deaths from yellow fever were reported there yes terday, but the names of the victims have not been made public. The physicians say there are but few new cases appearing, and that the epidemic is under control. They also think that the danger to the army is about passed. Commodore Schley with a party of officers visited the city this mornmg, coming up the bay in a steam launch The Commodore called on Gen. Mc, Kibbin and strolled about the streets, making several purchases and ap parently greatly enjoying shore leave. He was received with great respect by the Spanish officers who learned his name. Lieut. Miley, of Gen. Shafter's staff, left here this morning, with a troop of the Second cavalry, under Capt. Breitt, to make the rounds of the entire military district of Santiago de Cuba, and for the purpose of receiving the formal surrender of the Spanish forces. He goes first to San Luis, where there are about 4,500 of the enemy's troops, Lieut. Miley will then receive the sur render in order, of 700 men at Cobre, 1, 200 at Catakina, 2, 500 at Guantanamo and 3, 500 at Baracoa. A total of 10, 000 Spaniards are expected to yield their arms to this one troop of American cavalry. . To reach Baracoa, Lieutenant Miley will be compelled to ride straight across the island to the Northern coast, led by a Cuban guide. He will ride under a white flag- for protection, but Gen. Toral has sent members of his staff ahead of them to notify the post commanders of the terms of the sur render. The wound of Gen. Linares is much more serious than reported. His left arm has been amputated and to-night he is in a serious condition. j There is no ready-made clothing in the city except blue and white striped linen uniforms and many of our men I ' ' - - ----- are dressed in these Spanish uniforms. They present a strange appearance and are greeted with laughter. The readi ness and avidity with which the store keepers accept greenbacks is remark able. Gen. Shafter's orders to close all the rum shops has had the effect of keep ing the city quiet and peaceful. So far there have been no drunken brawls or noises. Anxious to Become American Citizens. Many of the Spanish soldiers are anx ious to become American citizens and are applying for naturalization. A number of the officers of high rank in the Spanish army condemn their government's policy in dividing its forces in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, instead of concentrating them and POSsiblv savin c one col on ir The cutting of the fleet is also strongly censured.and the Spanish naval officers all argue that it is impossible,-tmder the present crinnled condition of Ptnain to make a successful resistance any where. The usable ammunition nf tho Smn. isn troops here was exhausted before the surrender, as the 2,000,000 car tridges found in the magazines of San tiago do not fit the Mauser rifles. The Battle at El Caney. The Spaniards sav our trmns foucrht like tigers and that their discinline was excellent, but thev insist, thot lives were lost on either side than was warranted by conditions Julv 1st. Thev assert that our troons could h walked into the city without havinir a shot hred at them, as there were uu Boituers lert wiuun the walls at that time. It appears that thev had I - k.u uuuu bUd V 11111 I only a few thousand men and they all ,weni lo Uaney at the time that battle was fought, leaving iSantino unprotected. Reinforcements, how ever, arrived later and hroiicrHt iYia number of Spanish troops up to 8.000 men. At the battle of El Canev ahtiesfexceeded those of the Spaniards While they had one hundred men killed to our 200. thev had onlv Ron men wounded to our lfinn Th iu of the wounded has been increased since to over 2,000 men who are lying in the Mercedes and other timnK.i. nwitaij Gen. Linares cabled to Madrid , July 3, before Gen. Shafter's demand for the surrender of Santiago, setting forth the inability to hold out against an enemy superior in numbers with the Spaniardsjdying of fever and star vation and demoralized by the loss of the fleet. He urged the government, for the sake of humanitv to offr t capitulate, but added that, if drdered to remain to die like a rat in a tran. he would do so. as his soldiers their duty, although realizing that a mistake had been made. SOmehOW information in retrard trt the messasre leaked and the Snanish officers are loud in their condemnation of Gen. Linares, whom they accuse of faintheartedness throughout the war to the extent of 4 'under the -nlao nf a slight wound." lavinur the mantle nf shame of surrender upon Gen. Toral's shoulders instead of facing the dis grace himself. This feeling is general among the men who, passing the palace where the stars and stripes are flying, clench their fists and mutter: Uue vereruenza nara la Patria?

Madrid, July 19 (Delayed in trans mission). Gen. Parreja, the Spanish commander at Guantanamo, refuses to be included in the capitulation of Santiago de Cuba. According to Spanish military i; law, a commander can surrender the troops which he personally commands, but he cannot oblige other commanders at distant points, even though under his au thority, to follow suit. Consequently it is held here that the capitulation embraced only abdut 7,000 troops actually at Santiago. Madrid, July f20. 3 P. M. The government has received a dispatch from Captaur General Blanco, in which he announced that he had not authorized the capitulation of San tiago de Cuba and asserting that the place was surrendered without his knowledge. As a result, General Toral will be rigorously tried by court martial. TRQOPSEMBARklNO. Heavy Artillery and Infantry Regiments At Tampa. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Tampa, Fla., July 20.
