Santiago de Cuba, Sunday,
July 16, i p. m.—The American
flag is floating in triumph over the
governor’s palace at Santiago de
Cuba. Gen. McKibben has been
Appointed temporary military gov-
ernor.
The ceremony of hoisting the
Stars and Stripes was worth all
the blood and treasure it cost. A
concourse of 10,000 people wit
nessed the stirring and thrilling
scene that will live forever in the
Olinds of all the Americans pres
ent.
A finer stage setting for a dra
matic episode it would he difficult
to imagine. The palace, a pictur
esque old dwelling in the Moorish
Style of architecture, faces the-
Plaza de la Reina, the principal
public square. Oposite rises the
Imposing Catholic cathedral. On
One side is a quaint, brilliantly
painted building with broad veran
das, the club of San Carlos; on the
Other, a building of much the same
description, is the Cafe de la
Venus.’
Across the plaza was drawn up
the qth infantry, headed by the
6th cavalry band. In the street
lacing the palace stood a picked
troop of the 2nd cavalry, frith
'■WilVn flilh- " cojAmand
of"Capt. Brett. Massed (‘In the
.tome flagging between the band
and the line of horsemen were the
brigade commanders of Gen.
Shafter’s division, with their staffs.
On the red tiled roof of the
C ilace stood Capt. McKittrick,
ieut. Miley and Lieut. Wheeler.
Immediately above them, upon
the flagstaff, the illuminated Span
ish arms aud the legend “Vive
Alfonso XIII.” AlUbout, press-
jng against the veranda rails,
crowding to doors and windows
and lining the roofs, were the peo
ple of the town, principally wo
men and non-combatants.
As the chimes of the old cathe
dral rang out the hour of 12, the
infantry and cavalry presented
arms. Everjf American uncovered
aftd Capt. McKittrick hoisted the
Stars and Stripes. As the bril-
liant folds unfurled in a gentle
breeze against a fleckless sky, the
cavalry band broke into the strains
Of “The Star Spangled Banner,”
making the American heart thrill
with joy.
At the same instant the sound
M the distant booming of Capt.
Capron’s battery, the firing of a
salute of 21 guns, drifted in.
When the music ceased, from all
directions around our line came
floating across the plaza the strains
of the regimental bands and the
muffled, hoarse cheers of our
troops. The infantry came to
“order arms” a moment later,
afte? the flag was up, and the
played “Rally ’Round the
boys.”
Instantly Gen. McKibben called
for three cheers for Gen. Shatter,

in
Article. Saiictloiml By MailrUl-Ceneral
Toral Seen»« Heartbroken At The Kesull.
The Spanish government sanc
tioned the terms of the surrender
of Spain’s forces at Santiago.
Below is an extract from a copy
righted dispatch to the Associated
Press dated July 16 which came
from Siboney:
The agreement consists of nine
articles.
The first declares that all hos
tilities shall cease pending the
agreement of final capitulation.
Second. That the capitulation
includes all the Spanish forces and
the surrender of all material with
in the prescribed limits.
Third. The transportation of the
troops to Spain at the earliest pos
sible moment, each force to be
embarked at the nearest port.
Fourth. That the Spanish of
ficers shall retain their side arms
and the enlisted men their person
al property.
Fifth. That after the final capi-
tulation the Spanish forces shall
assist in the removal of *11 ob
structions to navigation in Santiago
harbor.
Sixth. That after the final capi
tulation the commanding officers
shall furnish a complete inventory
of all arms and munitions of war
and a roster of all the soldiers
the district.
Seventh. That the Spanish gen
eral shall be permitted to take the
military archives and recetds with;
him.
Eighth. That the guerrillas
Spanish irregulars shall be
mitted to remain in Cuba, if
so elect, giving a parole that
wjll not again take up Araks *
the United States unles
released from parole.
Ninth. That the Spanish
shall be permitted to march out
with all the honors of was, deposit
ing their arms to be disposed of
by the United States in the future,
the American commissioners to
recommend to their government
that the arms of the soldiers be
returned to those “who so bravely
defended them.”
The articles were signed yester
day afternoon after a few hours’
session of the commissioners, who
agreed that the terms of capitula
tion should await the sanction of
the Madrid government.
Gen. Toral, the white-haired
commander of the Spanish forces,
was present throughout the session
and appeared to be heartbroken.
He spoke bitterly of the fate which
compelled him to sue for peace,
but had no word to say against the
gallant men who had conquered his
army. He declared that he had
little chance to win. “I would
not desire my worst enemy to play
with the cards I held,” he said to
one of the commissioners. “Every
one of my generals was killed or
wounded: I have not a single
colonel left and am surrounded by
a powerful enemy. We have
counted 67 ships off this port.”
“And, besides," he concluded,
wearily waving his hand toward
the city, “I have secret troubles
there.”
Speaking of the battle of tlie 24th
of June, in which the Rough
Riders and a part of Gen. Young’s
command participated, Gen. Toral
said that less than 2,000 Spanish
troops were engaged, his loss being
265. He would not say how many
Spaniards were killed at El Caney
and before Santiago. “Heavy,
heavy,” he said, dejectedly.
In response to an inquiry, he
said that transportation would be
required for between 22,0.00 and
25,000 men, there being that much
of a force in the capitulated dis
trict. He informed the officers
that Santiago harbor had been
mined since Admiral Cervera left.

Lessons of a Great Lite.
The life of oue who has left his
impress ou the world’s history,
William E. Gladstone, has been is
sued.
Here follows au extract from
the author’s preface:
Hence, the life aud public ser
vices of the Grand Old Man can
not fail to be of intense interest to
all, particularly to the English,
because he has repeatedly occupied
the highest position under the
sovereign of England, to the Irish
whether Protestant or Catholic,
north or south, because of his ad
vocacy of (Reforms) for Ireland;
to the Scotch because of his Scot-
ish descent; to the German be
cause he remiuds them of their
own great chancellor, the L uifier
of Germany, Prince Bismarck;
and to the American because he
was ever the champion of freedom;
and as there has been erected in
Westminster Abbey a tablet to the
memory of Lord Howe, so will the
American people enshrine in their
hearts, among the greatest of the
great, the memof)} of William
Ewart Gladstone.

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look. Secure good health
and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bisters.” is a
good alterative and took. Acts
directly on the stQmach, liver and
kidneys, purifies the blood, cures
pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every
