BURIAL OF LIEUT. SHIPP.
How a Comrade pound Mint and
flarked His Cuban Grave.
The Lincoln Journal, which makes
its appearance tomorrow will contain
the following account of the finding of
the body of Lieutenant William E.
Shipp, and of its burial by comrades:
For weary days with aching hearts
Lieutenant W.E.Shipp's heart-broken
wife andsistera waited for some par
ticulars of his death in the battle of
Santiago. lAt last on Tuesday, Mrs.
Shipp received a letter from Lieuten
ant M. H. Barnom, adjutant of the
Tenth Regiment, who found and buried
the body of his brave brother officer.
The letter was written on board the
transport Cherokeej whicl was bring
ing the wounded home, and was dated
July 8th. It was mailed at Key West.
Lieut. Barnum was ba'clly wounded in
the hip but his sufferings did not
prevent his , writing news he knew was
so anxiously awaited.
He wrote that in passing over the
battlefield about noon Friday, July 1,
he found Lieut.Shipp lying dead "well
in front." He had been "shot through
the body, probably through the heart
and must have died almost instantly."
About fifty yards away, lay the dead
body of Lieutenant Smith, Lieutenant
Shipp's dearest friend.
That night about 10 o'clock, Lieu
tenant Barnum went with a detail of
men to bury his friends. His inten
tion was to lay them side by side in the
same grave, but he could not find
Lieut. Smith's body, it having evi
dently been found and buried by some
other friend.
Lieut. Barnum and his party, in the
still watches of the tropical night,
upon the Cuban battlefield hallowed
by the blood of American heroes, dug
a grave and in it placed the body of
his friend, and then "knowing," he
writes, "that he was a member of the
church, and being a member myself, I
said the Lord's prayer over the grave
after we had laid him in it."
One can imagine the pathetic scene -The
Cuban thicket wrapped in dark
ness: the colored troopers, with the
grime and smoke of battle still upon
them-, with bowed heads grouped
around the gTave of the beloved officer
who had led them in many a hot fight
with Indians; the battle-wearied officer
at the root, ; his eyes upturned to the
star-studdied heavens: the marble face
of the dead hero ashe lay in his grave
the grief-shaken voice of the officer as
he said, "Thy will be done," in a
language and a petition new to that
locality, make up a picture which will
live always with those who saw it.
Lieutenant Barnum says that at the
head of the grave h'e placed a board
with the inscription:
"Lieut. W. E. Shipp, Tenth Caval
ry, U. S. A. Killed July 1st, 1S!S,"
and otherwise carefully marked the
spot so that it can be readily identi
fied and located.
Lieut. Barnum writes that he had
not seen Lieut. Shipp that day until
he found him dead, but from others he
learned that he had heen doing splen
did work in guiding the troops through
the dense growth, a service for which
his years of experience in the Indian
wars peculiarly fitted him, and that it
is thought he met death while carry
ing orders from one part of the battle
field to another.
Lieut. Shipp was the quartermaster
of the brigade, a position which he
did not wnt because it was a non
combatant position, and his presence
in the front is accounted for by the
theory that he had volunteered for the
dangerous duty in the discharge of
which he met the death of a soldier
and a hero. Morning Post.
Social fleeting.
The regular monthly social meeting
of the Centenary Epworth Leage was
held last night at the hospitable home
of Mr. V. E. Bain on Ashe street. A
large number of young people were in
attendance and spent a most enjoyable
evening. After games of various
kinds had been indulged in delightful
refreshments were served. Those in
attendance voted it one of the most
enjoyable meetings the League has yet
held.

partment received' the following mes
sage from Gen. Shafter this morning
at 9:30 o'clock:

A WAITS APPROVAL OK MADRID.
Siboney, July 15, via Playa del
Este -The agreement to surrender all
of the Island of Cuba east of the line
drawn from Acceraderos to Saqua-de-Tanamo
was signed at four o'clock
this afternoon and approved by Gen.
Miles and Gen. Blanco. 'Gen. Toral
now awaits the approval of the gov
ernment at Madrid.
CAUSE OF DELAY.
Washington. July 16-The final
announcement of the1 surrender of San
tiago was received here with the ut
most relief by the officials. The unu
sual delay was partially accounted for
by the difficulty had by Toral in sur
rendering that part of the command
not in the city of Santiago.
It is believed the delay in the nego
tiations caused us to secure the sur
render of the outlying garrisons, some
of which questioned Toral's right to
surrender them without instructions
from Madrid. But the surrender is
now definitely settled on our terms
and much relief is felt from the presi
dent down.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Business In Many Lines Brisk in the
Dull Season.
New York, July 16 Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade today sayB:
The destruction of the Spanish fleet,
Europe's quick appreciation of the
feat, wearying of flags of truce at
Santiago, and at last surrender, have
all influenced some markets day by
day. But Americans see that not
many outside matters greatly influence
business which enabled them to market
$1,210,274,015 worth of domestic pro
ducts abroad in the year, ' against
616,e52,S44 worth imported.
The new loan has proved a stupen
dous success over $1,300,000,000 having
been subscribed, and it is now the
question of chief interest whether any
banks will get enough, after personal
subscriptions have been accepted, to
support further circulation. Indus
tries and business are naturally at the
lowest point for the year, and there
fore records are the more impressive.
Just when stagnation is customary
very many iron and steel mills are
crowded with orders for months. The
demand for woolen goods is better,
though prices for some have been re
duced. Cotton has been steady, in
spite of good crop prospects, owing to
larger foreign buying. Mills in this
country are doing their share, and the
demand for goods is gradually grow
ing better.
Wheat has been dropping in price
under estimates of 680,000,000 to 700,
000,000 bushels this year. Corn ex
ports are decreasing. The price is
nearly 1 cent stronger.
The volume of business still exceeds
that of any previous year, for the
week 17.1 per cent, greater than last
year.
Failures have been 215, against 263
last year.

NEARER MY GOD TO THEE,"
The Soldiers Were Singing When
the News Arrived.
I WATSON JS AWAITING ORDERS,
Blank Spaces In Madrid Newspapers.
Active Preparations for Coast
Defense Laying Mines.
By Cable Thtc Telbqbam.
Off Santiago, July 16 The messages
from the army to Admiral Sampson
yesterday were regarded as official
and no doubt existed in the minds of
the officials who felt that Toral had
surrendered. And no furthei-messatre
was received until this morning sev
eral vessels were allowed to go to
Guantanoma for supplies.
As soon as the official and final
agreement was signalled to the fleet,
the vessels was recalled on duty the
same as usual. Every ship in the fleet
has volunteered to be the first to enter
the narrow harbor. The commanders
on all the smaller vessels pleaded dil
igently to be allowed to be the first to
pass old Morro.
Admiral Sampson was compelled to
decline all offers. He does not think
it necessary for any warship to go
nearer the city at present. The Red
Cross steamship State of Texas, with
Clara Barton aboard, will probably
be the first to. pass into the harbor
after the surrender. .
"NEARER MY GOD TO THEE."
Siboney, July 15, via Playa del
Este 16 The agreement to surrender
Santiago was signed at four o'clock
this afternoon. The news of the first
agreement to surrender yesterday was
received with great joy by the troops.
The news first came an hour after
General Shafter met General Toral.
An orderly who was with them
waved his hat in the direction of the
ninth infantry, which was .the signal
agreed upon. The ninth infantry was
holding religious services and were at
that moment singing: "Nearer My
God to Thee." The men stopped sing
ing instantly and broke into lusty
cheers. General Wheeler rode up
saying there would be no more fight
ing and was greeted with an ovation.
The cheers were renewed' and passed
along the line from one regiment to
another.
This morning, however, there was a
reaction, when it was learned that it
was but a piece of Spanish treachery
to gain time.
This and similar reports spread
rapidly and there were many mur
murs and threats heard among the
troops until an agreement was finally
reached and signed.
BLANCO'S APPROVAL.
Gen. Blanco signified his approval
but added that the approval of the
government at Madrid would be nec
essary, and wanted the matter post
poned until an answer could be heard
from Spairi. The Americans refused
to concede this but agreed that the
signatures should be conditional. Hie
approval of the Spanish government
is expected today.
PREC ACTION AGAINST TREACHERY.
By the terms of the surrender twenty
five thousand Spaniards lay down
arms and submit to be taken home; an
event unheard of in the history of the
world. While the staff are satisfied
that the surrender is genuine General
Shafter is taking no chances. He has
directed Garcia to keep a sharp look
out for any Spanish reinforcements ,
and is taking every precaution against
treachery. "
READY FOR SPAIN.
' Siboney, July 16 The officers of
Shafter's staff say they know noth
ing about the time the troops will
start for the Porto Rican expedition.
They will probably not start for sev
eral weeks yet.
It is stated that troops will not be
allowed to enter Santiago for at least
a week.
Commodore Watson's fleet is all
ready to sail for Spain and is await
ing orders which are momentarily ex
pected.
SPAIN LAYING TORPEDOES.
Madrid, July 16 Newspapers too ay
are conspicuous on account of the
bladc spaces in their columns, de
noting suppressions by the govern
ment censors. Three regiments have
been ordered to Algeciras. Active
preparations for coast defence are be
ing made and long lines of torpedoes
have been laid in Barcelona channel
and other harbors.

CORREA'5 IDEA OF PEACE.
Thinks It Can Be Brought About by
Leaving Cubans to Choose.
Madrid, July 15 The minister of
war, General Correa, is quoted as
saying in -an interview that he thought
peace might be arranged on the fol
lowing terms:
The United States and Spain to
agree to let the Cubans decide by a
plebiscite whether they desire inde
pendence or autonomy under the suz
eranity of Spain.
The two governments to agree to
abide by the result of the plebiscite.
In the event of the Cubans voting
for independence, the United States
to allow Spain nine months in which
to withdraw her army, gradually and
dignifiedly from -Cuba, "as soldiers
should after .having fought like he
roes." Continuing, the( minister for war
said:
"We ought to retain Porto Rico at
all costs, in order to be always near
Cuba, of which the Americans will be
able to despoil us in course of time,
and in order to more easily communi
cate with the South American Repub
lics, which daily displays the greatest
enthusiasm for Spain.
"As to the Philippine Islands it is
certain we will retain them even
though the Americans succeed in oc
cupying Manila, of which place their
occupation will be most brief. An of
ficial dispatch announces that the
rebel chiefs and the Americans will
not always agree, which is to Spain's
advantage.
"The government has formed a
scheme which will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
Islands, but which will re establish
tranquility."
