GEE AT DAY FOE OUR MEN City Proper Lf t In Possession of the Present Military Authorities Subject to Control of Temporary, Military Governor McKlDbln. i . Santiago r db Cuba, July 17, j t1 Plata del Esra, Cuba, July 19. The stars and stripes were formally hoisted over the governor's palaoe In this place at noon today and " shortly after ward General Chamber McKibbin took charge aa temporary military governor. It was amid impressive ceremonies that the Spanish troops laid down their arms between the lines of the Spanish and American forces at 9 o'clock this morning. . General Shaf ter and the American division and brigade com manders and their staffs were escorted by a troop of cavalry , and General Toral and his staff by 100 picked men. Trum peters on both sidea saluted ' with flourishes. - - : -' General Shaf ter returned to General Toral, the latter's sword after it had teen: handed to the American - com mander. . . ' Our troops, lined up at the trenches, were eyewitnesses of the ceremony. General Shaf ter and his escort; accom panied by General Toral, rode through the city, taking formal possession. The ceremony of hoisting the stars and stripes was worth all the blood and treasure it cost. A concourse of 12,000 people witnessed the stirring and thrill ing scene that will live forever in the minds of all the Americans present, r Scenes About the Palaoe. A finer setting for a dramatic episode it would bo difficult to imagine. The palaoe, a picturesque old dwelling in the moorish style of architecture, faces the Plaza de La Reina, the principal public square. Opposite rises , the im posing Catholic cathedral. On one side is a quaint, brilliantly painted building, with broad verandas the club of, San Carlos on the other a building of much the same description the Cafe de La Venus. : v v " . '.. j Across the plaza was drawn up the Ninth infantry headed by the Sixth cavalry band. In the street facing the palaoe stood a picked troop of the Sec ond cavalry, with drawn sabers, under command of Captain Brett. Massed on the stone nagging between the band and the line of horsemen were the brigade commanders of General Shelter's divi sion with their staff s. , On the red-tiled roof of the palaoe stood Captain McKittrick, Lieutenant. Miley and Untenant Wheeler, immedi ately over them, upon the flagstaff , the illuminated Spanish arms and legend, "Viva Alfonso XIII." All about, press ing against the veranda rails, crowding the windows and doors ' and lining the roofs were the people of the town, prin cipally women and noncombatants. As the chimes of the old cathedral rang out the hour of 12 the infantry and cavalry presented arms. Every Ameri can uncovered his head and Captain McKittrick hoisted the stars and stripes. Bands Play Stirring Airs.' As the brilliant folds unfurled in a gentle breeze against a fleckless sky, the cavalry band broke into the strains of "The Star Spangled Banner," mak ing the American pulse leap and the American heart thrill with joy. . At the same instant the sound of the distant booming of Captain Oapron's battery, firing a salute of 21 guns, drifted in. When : the music ceased. from all directions around our IJne oame floating across the plaza the strains of the regimental bands and the muffled, hoarse cheers of ouf men. The infan f an try came out to "order arms" a mo ment later, after the flag was up and the band played "Rally Round the flag, Boys.".-' - - Instantly General McKibbin called for three cheers for General Shatter, which were: given with great enthusi asm," the band playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever. " - The ceremony over, General Shaf ter and his staff returned to the American lines, leaving tke city in the possession of the municipal au thorities, subject to the control 61- Gen eral McKibbin. . - ' . . - New Problem to Solve.; The problem of notifying the Spanish troops of the Fourth army corps, out- ' side of those which composed the garri son of Santiago de Cuba, of the surren der of General Toral 's forces is likely to cause sonie trouble. The Spaniards at Guantanamo are evidently, still ignor ant of the surrender and the Cubans under General Peres have daily skirm ishes with the defenders of the town, who are apparently trying to break through the lines and join the Spanish forces at Santiago de Cuba. General Miles, who arrived here on the Yale thia afternoon, says that Gen eral Toral will send officers to, the different garrisons in the province, no tifying them of the surrender. 1 The Spaniards in "Guantanamo can be easily reached and they will be ordered to come down the bay and - surrender. Those further in the island, however, will be more difficult to communicate wi. a and it will probably be some time before all the Spanish troops: are notified. - "- 4 Spain Prepares For Watson. 1 Maorid, July 19. The defense works are being actively pushed at all the Spanish ports. The newspapers hjeie assert that the United States intend an enormous Indemnity, "in order to have the pretext to seize the Philippine islands as a guarantee." The supposed American peace terms are greater ex citing the public and. the opinion la ex pressed, among tLe people that Y&o the death would bo preferable to the ruin Of Spain.

SANTIAGO OUR VESSELS TAKE CHARG Americans Sail Into Santiag v Harbor After Spanish Flag Is Furled. I ALL THE 1IINES BLOWN U3 Nnmber of Fine Steamers Fall Prizes to the United States Forces a the Result of tne Capitulation of th Big Cuban Town. ;. TJndkr Morro . Castle, Harbor oi Santiago db Cuba, July 17, via Playi del este. Province of Santiago de Cubs July 19. Exactly at 9 6'olock this morn ing the Spanish flag was lowered fron CAPa? ' OUR NEW TERRITORY. ICountry surrendered Indicated by darl .. ; - j'.- - :. Portion. the staff crowning the, heights upoi which battered - Morro Castle spread half way. , The lowering of this em blem of the defunct sovereignty 6 Spain in this part of the world was wit nessed by a few Spanish and America! troops on shore and by the Brooklyn New .York, Vixen and Vesuvius, lyinj within af few hundred yards of the bar bor entrance. ;r Almost immediately after the fiaj was hauled down steam launches, com manded j by Lieutenants Hobson an Palmer, entered the harbor, penetratinj as far as the firing stations of the sub marine mines. These mines wen judged to be not so formidable asex pec ted, and later in the afternoon the were all exploded under the supervisiol of the Vixen. . r It was seen that two mines had beel exploded at the time of the entrance d the Merrimao into the channel of San tiago harbor, but it is not thought prob able that either of them had anythin, to do with the sinking of the craft. Six or seven fine steamers in the har bor fall as prizes to the navy and army The Spanish gunboat Alvariez had al ready been taken possession of by i prize crew from the New York. Thi other vessels lie at the other end of thi harbor, at Santiago nroner. Schley Enters the Harbor. Soon after noon Commodore Schley, with Captain Cook of the Brooklyn, J H. Sears, the flag lieutenant; Lieuten ant K W. Wells, the flag secretary, anl three invited correspondents of the As sociated Press, went into the harbor ot a steam launch, which moved slowly ii order to make close observations of thi Spanish forts and, batteries. Everyone expressed satisfaction at thi fact that Morro Castle was not demol ished by the bombardment, Captaii Cook saying "we need El Morro as at objeot lesson, and America Is rather shj on ruins, anyhow." - The old fort stands on the bluff, ter race fashion. From the water's edg to the brow beetling cliff there are hugt caves formed by the action of the waves, and round the base and in the super structure are not a few oaves made bj the navy's projectiles. It would ap pear, however, that only one basnets was knocked to pieces, while the queel little sentry boxes, dating back to th sixteenth century, escaped almost in tact. -! ' Morro Castle is the only imposing for tification in the harbor, and it is onlj so in appearance, since not a gun ii mounted within or on the crumbled walls. In fact, all the batteries, masked and open, dwindled in . their, terror in spiring qualities as the inspection greM closer. " Ouns Used on Hobson. Crowning the hill on the west side oi the entrance were the famous 6-inch rapid fire guns from the Spanish oruisei Reina Mercedes. These were - ugly looking and dangerous, while below, on the brink of the mountains on the west shore of the entrance of the. harbor, wert some GatUng guns. These were th ones which poured such, a bitter Art into the Merrimac. Directly east of Morro, on the crest a the plateau-like cliff, were six big guns, one or two of which were dismounted. The Eatrella battery and a small neigh bor further in showed no guns, while the famous Cay Smith filled the islet with - bine, white and yellow houses situated in groves of "flowering trees, some of the buildings looking as if they had been the resorts of pleasure seek' era in happier times. , Others were humble enough in appearance for fish ermen's houses. All were deserted, and, strange to say, not one, apparently, had been pouched by a. hostile projectile. -On the inside of the slope and hill to the westward some hastily constructed but very comforting casemates were seen, into which the Spanish gunners were wont to retire when our ships opened fire. When the firing ceased the gunners had only a few steps to climb to their 6- inch rapid fire guns, which almost always fired a few spite ful farewell shots,. ' 'Defenses of Punta Gorda. At Punta Gorda there were two L-inch Sins, one above the other, neither pro oted by even sand or earth. -These commanded the harbor entrance pretty well, but they could have been silenced by one well directed heavy shell. ; Commodore Schley has over and over again expressed the belief that our fleet could have entered the harbor without the loss of a single ship. The mines might have stopped ingress by sinking tha laadizur shin, but this is the . qhanr - " I . am VaT- t wo . 'ra or war ana' not so grave as many taRen during the' civil strife, nor as serious as would have been the situation had there been good batteries, properly: manned, in the harbor. - Commodore Schley's party first steamed around the wreck of the Reina Mercedes, which lie with her bow pointed toward the city. She had a list to starboard and rested on areef near the foot of Morro cliff. The cruiser was sunk to the upper deck, on which one 6-inch gun remained. One torpedo tube was loaded and the auxiliary battery seemed in place. Evidently the crew of the Reina Mercedea left her in a hurry. This is less to be wondered at when it is noted that there were great gaps in her sides, showing wbore two 12 and two 13-inch shells had struck her. . The sea washed gently through the after cabin of the cruiser, which was deoorated in oldfashioned style, and the wind fluttered a red silk curtain, which could be plainly seen vr an inner door as too launch steamed by. 4 Wreck oT the Merrlraac About 600 yards ahead of the Reina Mercedes and almost in line with her was the wreck of the Merrimac, lying in fully six fathoms of water on the very edge of the channel. Had not the current svrunir the doomed . Ehip alongside instead of athwart the channel, thd latter would have been well blocked. When AsdUt taut Naval Constructor Hobson took the collier into the harbor he was hunt ing for a four fathom spot and only missed by a few hundred yardi. t. At the firing station on the west side, which Commodore Schley inspected in person, the American party met i a Spanish artillery captain, who was courteous but gloomy. Com mod or a Sohley was his own interpreter and ad vised the officer, with the few men un der his command, to go up to the city and surrender as quickly a possible. When the Spanish captu.ii! was asked to point out the route to the 6-inch bat tery on the west hill, he said there was none and explained that the way to get there was to overstep rocky and difficult ground. It was learned later that this was not true, and it was surmised that the Spaniard was anxious to prevent the Americans from seeing the damage done by the bombardment. Commodore Schley then said he was determined to have a glimpse at Santi ago dry, and the launch was headed along the west side of the channel, go ing slowly and sticking to the shallow water, less some contact mine put an end, as the commodore remarked, "to our quiet pleasure party." The City Proper Sighted. Skirting the broad, lakclike spot in the harbor where the Spanish fleet, de stroyed two weeks ago today, used to lie during the bombard u-enu, and not ing the brilliantly painted buoys which marked the shallows, Punta Gorda was rounded and distant about two miles the city of Santiago shont out, the ca thedral being especially well defined and the masts and funnels of not a few vessels showing at its wharves. At - that distance Santiago did not show any traces of" the destruction wrought by the 101 out of the 106 8-inch shells fired on the the city last Sunday. Returning to the Brooklyn, Commo dore Schley, accompanied by his staff, entered the harbor this evening, soon after the mines had been exploded. Captain Cook of the Brooklyn is au thority for the statement that the for mer Spanith flagship, the Infunta Maria Teresa, has floate l off the reef on which she stranded r.ud that her heavy arma ment is practically uninjured. The cap tain aUo says this cruiser will almost surely be saved, and for an addition to the United States navy a trophy of the glorious July 2. The Cristobal Colon may also be saved, though a good deal depends on the weather, which is very uncertain et this time of the year. A heavy storm might drive the cruiser so hif h on the coral reef that it would be impossible to float her. Colon Very Badly Handled, j Many of the naval men are outspoken in their criticism of the treatment of the Colon immediately after her sur render. They believe the ship could have been saved when she slipped back from the reef into deep water had divers, carpenters and machinists, with a competent prize crew, been sent on board ofher. - -1 The crew of the Brooklyn regarded the Viscaya as their particular foe since a time when they were both preeent-at Queen Victoria's jubilee display, when there was much comment abroad on what a good fight might be expected be tween the two ships if they ever met. Of the four big ships which were in Admiral Cervera's fleet, only two are surely - doomed to destruction. They are . the Viscaya and the Almlrante Oquendo, and these as a coincident were the two cruisers which went into Havana harbor after the blowing up of the Maine and were moored near the wreck of the United States battleship in all the bravery of paint, gilding and bunting, Beeming to gloat over the ruin caused, while the people of Havana shouted themselves hoarse, fired myriads of bombs and bragged unceasingly of what the tWo formidable armored cruis ers of Spain would do with the United States navy should ever a fair fight be possible. : ' Maine la Now Avenged. ; "Surely," remarked Lieutenant Com mander Warn wright of the- Gloucester, formerly of the Maine, "this avenges the Maine." Speaking of the military victories of July 1 and 2 and of the naval victory of July 8, Commodore Schley said seri ously: - r "These victories may serve not only to deprive Spain of her colonial posses sions, but to bring about a change of frontiers in Europe. Spain cannot get the terms now which she might have had two months ago. What ran she hope for in six months' more of such warfare? 'Whom the gods would de stroy they first make mad."

BIG FORWARD MOVE LIKELY Volunteer Troops In Camp at Chickamauga Park on Waiting Orders. WORD NOT GIVEN AS YET But the Railway Companies Receive Notice to Have Cars Ready 'and K very thine Points to the Departure of Soldiers atOaoe. . .. ' . " . Ch ickakaug a, Ga. , July 19. An order from headquarters has been issued to Colonel Fred Bennitt of the Third Illi nois infantry, commanding the Second brigade of the First division, First corps, to forward the wagon trains of his brigade to Charleston at once. Quar termaster Loe has arranged for the rail road transportation and the wagons and mules will be shipped tonight and to morrow. It is believed that at least half the regiments of the First corps are on wait ing orders and will move at an early date, though no moving order has yet been given out. Colonel Bennitt's bri gade, composed of the Fourth Ohio, the Fourth Pennsylvania and Third Illi nois, were included in the order to move when the First brigade, under General Ernst, moved to Charleston, but later the brigade waaheld back pending the arrival of transports. It is believed now that this brigade will be moved at once. The railroad companies were in structed to have cars ready to be loaded with troops by tonight, but they will not go before tomorrow noon at the earnest, everything indicates tnat a forward movement will be made imme diately. Various improvements are now being made at the Second division. Third corps hospital in charge of Major Brad- irnry. Caring For the Sick. Room for the reception of tatients has jast been arransjod and every man who is now sent to the hospital is taken to the reception quarters, washed and provided with clan clothing, after which he is assigned to a ward. In ad dition to this improvement a new sur gical ward has juat been established. Time are about 200 men in the hos pital. Of this number there are 25 measle cases. The hospital of the Third division, First corps, has almost as many patients as it will accommodate. Included in ite list of patients are a number of ty phoid fever oases. The Ninth Pennsyl vania has sent more than 80 fever cases to this hospital. In the opinion of Ma jor Wearer, the regimental surgeon. mese cases are typnoia, but there is a dispute as to this, the surgeons of the division hospital being in some doubt as to the nature of 'the eases. Because of this difference of opinion a test is to be made. The test to be applied is what Is known as Widal's test for typhoid fever. This test consists of taking cne drop of the blood of a patient and placing it on the lide of a microscope on which a Sphoid culture is placed. If the germs ub together, it is typhoid fever. The microscope and culture for this pro poned test have been ordered. This will perhaps " be the first test that has been made. Cases of Typhoid Fever. Major Weaver thinks he cannot be mistaken in his diagnosis of the caaej from tke Ninth Pennsylvania for the reason that postmortems have proved that persons who have died from what appears to be this same fever undoubt edly typhoid. General Grant, brigade commander.is elanning for a sham battle, which will e executed tomorrow.' The headquarters of General Grant are being beautified, and during the past few days a force of men have been at work constructing gravel walks all over the camp. It appears from present indication that all the batteries comDOsin the ar tillery brigades at the park will only be four gun batteries. IN one of the bat teries have received but four guns and all of the Ohio batteries have been or dered to send in four gun shortage re ports. The talk has been current at the park for some time that the batteries would be reduced to four guns and it now appears that the boys will go to the front with only that number.

The plans fox sending Commodore Watson's astern squadron to Spain have reached a point where naval officials are considering the exact day of departure, and it is said COMMODORE WATSON.' that positive orders. have been given that preparations mtfet be brought to a close at once with a view to having everything in readiness by the end of this week. Two of the colliers which are to ac company the expedition are at Norfolk for the purpoos of putting light batteries on them. The offlcer in charge of the work estimated that it would take two weeks more to get these batteries to gether and have them mounted. This meant delay and an order has been given that the work be completed this week, or else that the colliers go with out their light batteries. The same view is taken as to the con dition of the ships. The fleet ofScert would like to have the ships bottom scraped and considerable ovehaaling done. But this means delay, tvnd the disposition here is to have the cleaning and repairing dost as well as possible by tke seen on the ships, so that every thing will be ia readiness by the end of tke weak or soon thereafter.
