The newspapers are now giving the particulars of what is, if true the most amazing incident that has ever oc curred in this or in any other war. The Spanish officials were engaged in surrendering the city to the Ameri can authorit'es. When the time came to raise the -United States flag over governor's palace, Sylvester Scovel, a corre-pondent of the New York World, attempted to make his way to the roof of the building for the purpose of par ticipating in the ceremonies. He was ordered down by tile guard. When the eeremony was over and the Hag had been raised Scovel pushed his way to Gen. Shafter and slapped that officer's face. He was promptly arrested and confined. Such, in brief, are the details of an occurrence that has no parrallel so far as we know. That the correspond ent was not shot by some of the sol diers or a sword run through him by an officer is an evidence that the gen eral, as well as those about him, exer cised great self-restraint. And yet, such an event would have been unfor tunate, for the whole performance shows that Scovel was either drunk or demented. It is said that the Washington authorities are puzzled to know what punishment to mete out for this of fense, and well they may be, for it has no precedent. In the nature of the case, Scovel was the guest of the army, and his violation of the privi- eges arfd hospitalities extended him constitute, as we have said, the most remarkable case on record. He will probably be tried by-a court- nartial and ejected from tne army under circumstances sufficiently igno minious to make his punishment ex emplary. Atlanta Constitution. Sampson's Claims. The Washington Post sarcastically notes the activity of Admiral Samp son in claiming the captured sh'ps at Santiago as naval (prizes. General Shafter was right in not allowing this. Uncle Sam very properly decided that the property belong to the government and to no one else. Augusta Chron icle. General Wheeler. Those patriotic gentlemen down in Alabama who are so anxious to suc ceed General .Wheeler in Congress are wasting time and money. When Joe Wheeler gets home from Cuba the Alabamians will give him half a dozen seats in Congress if he wants them. Shelby ville (Tenn.) Gazette. GENERAL SHAFTER S REPORT Casualties of the Recent Battle Received In Detail THE OLIVETTE CARRIES SUPPLIES Orders for the Further Movement'of Troops for General Miles' Porto Rlcan Expedlton.

New York, July 26 The Olivette leaves this afternoon for Santiago with supplies chiefly for the wounded at the front. She carries over three quarters of a million dollars to be paid the troops. TO OCCUPY GUANTANAMO. Santiago, July 26 It is difficult to see how the large body of Spaniards at Holguin can fail to surrender al though reinforced from Gibar City. one of tne commanding points in eastern Cuba. The surrender of the garrison will be an important event of the war. The news of this is ex pected snortly. Tne nrst inrant y un der General Bisbee started to occupy Guantanamo yesterday. MILES' LANDING PLACE. Washington, July 26 - Officers of the war department believe that General Miles has landed a detachment of troops in Porto Rico, but are unani mous in the opinion that the landing place is not near Ponce as has been reported. Adjutant General Cor- bin says the landing place selected was Fajardo. There has been no di rect news from General Miles to date. Officials maintain secrecy and are care fully guarding the plans of the expe dition. No Looting. The policy of President" McKinley in respect to Santiago and to any other place which may be conquered will be approved by the whole Amer ican people. Thd Cubans are not allowed to loot tbem They are not to be given up to the rapacity or plundering tendencies of any one. Our quarrel is not with private citizens, but with the Spanish army. Now that the army nas sur rendered every private citizen will be accorded the right to return to his domicile without let or hindrance. - New York Herald. End of a Little Scare. Annapolis, July 25 Anxiety in re- &r.d reported cases of yellow fever at the naval academy having been re moved, the Spanish officers, who were sent to cadet quarters as a precaution will return to their former quarters. Naval academy physicians say there is no apprehension of yellow fever, the only illness among the prisoners being due to malaria. Off to Cuba. Two state papers comment upon the fact that North Carolina farmers are regretting the-disappearance from the state of the carrion birds, the turkey buzzards. They have undoubtedly taken wing to Cuba! A horrible story is to be read between the lines Char lotte Observer. Fitzhugh Lee. The demands of justice and the sen timent of the American people will not be satisfied with any proposition which does not include the election of Fitz. Lee as governor general of Cuba. The president will be made aware of his mistake if he proceeds otherwise. Tennessee Democrat. SAW A SPANISH FLAG. But Indiana niners Soon Shot the Emblem Down. Terre Haute, Ind., July 25 The earliest riser today ' in the mining town of Geneva s,aw a Spanish flag floating from a pole erected during the night. He quickly aroused hia neighbors, and, while the crowd was discussing the sight an old miner ap peared among them with a shotgun and began shooting at -the emblem It was the cue for every man who could get a gun, and soon the flag was ribbons. Then the rope was shot away and the tattered rag fell to the ground. Three cheers for "Old Glory" were called for and a contribution was taken up to buy a flag of Stars and Stripes of good quality. When it ar rives the miners will have a. character istic miners' celebration. it is not known who hoisted the Spanish flag, but it is thought to have been the work of two or three miners who wanted to have some fun. f Too Hasty.
