Washington, July 17.?The war department posted the following bulletin at 5:15 p. m : Santiago de Cuba, July 17. Adjutant General United States Army, Washington, D. C : I have the houor to announce that the American flag has this instant, 12 o'clock noon, been hoisted over the house of the civil governor in the city of Santiago. An immense con course of people present; a squav.ion of cavalry and a regiment of infantry presenting arms and band playing national air. Light battery tired salute of 21 guns. Perfect order is being maintained by municipal government. Distress is very great; but little sickness in town. Scarcely any yellow fever. A small gunboat and about 200 seamen left by Cervera have surrendered to me. Obstructions are being removed from mouth of the harbor. Upon comiDg into this city I discjvered a perfect entanglement of defenses. Fighting, as the Spaniards did the flrst day, it would have cost 5,000 livea to have taken it. Battalions of Spanish troops have been depositing arms since daylight in uruiory, over which . I have guard. Gen. Toral formally surrendered the plaza and all stores at 0 a. in. My ordinance officers report about 7,000 rifles turned in today aud GOO, 000 catridges. At the mouth of the harbor there are quite a number of dne modern guns, about 6 inch; also two batteries of mountain guns together with a saluting battery of 15 old bronze guns. Disarming and turning in will go on tomorrow. List of prisoners not yet known. Shatter. Major General Commanding. WHAT SECRETARY ALGER SAID. Secretary Alger expressed his deep gratification at the culmination of the Santiago campaign. He had fully expected the surrender to be fnrniftllr coi-riod nnt of (I fl.Io VMH4VU vwu ut %j u viuta iuio morning, according to Gen. Shafter's telegram last night, yet it was a relief to know that the last chance for parley and Spanish diplomacy had passed, and that our flag was now flying over the city. "It is a magnificent achievement," said he, "and most of all it is bravery, pluck and endurance of our Ameri can soldiers. Now that their efforts have brought final and complete success. I believe their campaigu will be recorded as one of the most glorious pages of our military history. Not more than 10,000 men were engaged when the most serious fighting occurred, but they pushed forward and created a condition which has brought the surrender of 25,000 men." Santiago de Cuba, July 17, noon.? Amid impressive ceremonies the Spanish troops laid down their arms between the lines of the Spanish and American forces it 0 o'clock th morning. Gen. Shafter and the American division and brigade commanders and their stags were escorted by a troop of cavalry and Gen. Toral and his staff by 100 picked men. toral's sword handed back to him. Trumpeters on both sides saluted with flourishes. Gen. Shafter returned to Toral the latter's sword after it had been handed to the American commander. Our troops, lined up at the trenches, were eye-witnesses of the cilemony. Gen. Shafter and his escort, accompanied by Gen Toral, rode through the city, taking formal pos session. city 1iad been sacked. The city had bceu sacked before they arrived by the Spaniards. At the palace elaborate ceremonies took place. Exactly at noon the American Hag was raised over the palace and wa3 saluted by 21 guns j by Capt. C.iprou's battery. At the same time all the regimental bauds in our line played "The Star Spangled Banner," after which President McKinley's congratulatory telegram was read to each regiment. The 13ih and (Jth regiments of infantry will remain in the city to enforce order aod exercise municipal authority. The Spanish forces are to camp outside of our lines. Santiago de Cuba, Sunday, July 17, 1 p. m.?The American flag is floating in triumph over the governor's palace at Santiago de Cuba. Gen. McKibbou has been appointed temporary military governorThe ceremony of hoisting the Stars and Stripes was worth all the blood and treasure it cost. A concourse of 10,000 people witnessed the stirring and thrilling scene that will live forever in the minds of all the Americans present. A finer stage setting for a dramatic episode it would be difficult to imag j ine. The palace, a picturesque old j dwelling in the Moorish st\le of | aichitecture, faces the Plaza de j la Reina, the prfDcipal public square. Opposite rises the imposing Catholic cathfdral. On one side is a quaint, biilliantly painted building with broad verandas, the club of San Cailos; on the other, a building of much the same description, is the Cafe de la Venus. OUR FORCES PRESENT. Acioss the plaza was drawn up the Oth infantry, headed by the 6th cavalry baud. Iu the street facing the palace stood a picked troop of the 2d cavalry, with drawn sabres, under command of Capt. Brett. Massed on the stone flagging between the band and the line of horsemen were i the brigade commands of Gen. I Shefter's division, with their staff's. THE OFFICERS WHO HOISTED IT. On the red tilled roof of the palace stood Capt. McKittrick, Lieut. Miley and Lieut Wheeler. Immediately above them, upon the flagstaff, the illuminated Spanish arms and the legened "Vive Alfonso XIII." All about, pressing against the veranda rails, crowding to windows and doors and lining the roofs, were the people of the town, principally women and non combatants. WHEN THE HOUR CAME. As the chimes of the old cathedral rang out the hour of 12, the infantry and cavalry presented arms. Every American uncovered, and Capt. McKittrick hoisted the Stars and Stripes. As the brilliaut folds unfurled in a gentle breeze against a fleckless bky, the cavalry band broke into tho strains of "The Star Span glcd Banner,"' making the American pulse leap and the American heart thrill with joy. SHAFTElt CHEEKED. Instantly Gen- McKibbeu called for three cheers for Gen. Shatter, which were giveu with great enthusiasm, the band playing Sousa's ''Stars and Stripes Forever." GEN. MCKIBBEN IN C1IAKGE. The ceremony over. Gen. Shatter and his staff returned to the American liues, leaving the city in the possession of the municipal authorities, subject to the control of Gen. McKibbeu. THE DETAILED TERMS OF SURRENDER. The whole matter was cleared up this morning, however, when Gen. Toral received the necessary sanction from Madrid. The agreement consists of nine articles. The first declares that all hostilities shall cease pending the agreement of final capitulation. Second. That the capitulation includes all the Spanish forces and the surrender of all war material within the prescribed limits. Third. The transportation of the troops to Spain at the earliest possible moment, each force to be embarked at the nearest port. Fourth. That the Spanish officers shall retain their side arms and the enlisted men their personal property. Fifth. That after the final capitulation the Spanish forces shall assist in the removal of all obstructions to navigation in Santiago haibor. Sixth. That after the final capitulation the commanding officers shall furnish a complete inventory of all arms and munitions of war aud a i roster of all the soldiers in the district. Seventh. That the Spanish general | shall be permitted to take -the military archives and records with him. Eighth. That tho guerrillas and Spanish irregulars shall be permitted to remain in Cuba, if they so elect, giving a parole that they will not again take up arms against the United States unless properly released from parole. Ninth. That the Spanish forces shall be permitted to march out with all the honors of war, depositing their j arms to be disposed of by the United j States in tho future, the American j commissioners to recommend to their j government that the arms of the j soldiers be returned to those "whoso bravely defended them." i The articles were signed yesterday | afternoon after a few hours' session ! of the commissioners, who agreed i a. .x _ . r j IUUL lUfci IUI HIS U1 lUlAHULi OUUU1VI j await the sanction of the Madrid j government. / TOI5AL AITAKENTJ'V HLAKTBKOKLN. Gen. Toral, the white haired comI I mauder of the Spanish forces, was | present throughout the session and ! appeared to be heartbroken. He j spoke bitterly of the fate which com1 pelled him to sue for peace, but had j no \Nord to say against the gallant I men who had conquered his army. . He declared that he had little chance ' to win. 4'I would not- desire my ; worst enemy to play with the cards I held,' he said to one of the comi missioners. ''Every ouc of my gcui erals was killed or wounded: I have | not a single colouel left and am sur! rounded bv a poweiful enemy. We have counted 07 ships off this port." { "Aud, besides," ho concluded, wearily waiving his hand toward the i city, 4*I have secret troubles there." !

In response to an inquiry, he said that transportation would be required for between 22f(J00 and 2o,000 meD, there being that much of a force in the capitulated district. He informed the officers that .Santiago harbor had been again mined since Admiral Oeiveia left.

What will be done with (5en. .Shatter's force is not yet fully decided. The physicians declare that the army, owing to the hardships and the fever, will not be fit for active duty for some time to come, and I Gen. Miles is believed to be seriously considering the proposition to leave only immune regiments to hold the conquered province and return the body of the corps to the United States and sending other immunes from there to reinforce the Santiago detachment if necessary.
