SPANISH AND AMERICAN TROOPS MINGLE TOGETHER The Streets of Santiago Filled With Victors and Vanquished and a Feelj ing of General Good Fellowship is Evinced Everywhere. Santiago, July 19, 6 p. m., via Kingston, July 20, 10 a. m.—Hun dreds of American and Spanish soldiers, who but a few days ago were shooting at each other, crowd the streets of Santiago to-day, meeting and mixing in the most friendly terms. A general feeling of good fellowship is evinced everywhere, victors and van quished apparently being equally rejoiced that the strife and blood shed are over, and that the horrors of the seige are ended. Quaint stores, with gaudy displays of wares, are opening rapidly, and the storekeepers eagerly accept their money and courteously re. ceive American customers. The narrow, cobbled-paved streets, grilling in the fierce sun shine, are crowded from morning to night by chattering groups of uniformed Spanish soldiers and crowds of laughing, rollicking men belonging to Gen. Shafter’s army. Great barge leads of provisions and supplies have been going to the wharves all day trom the Red Cross steamer State of Texas and the United States army supply ships, and there is evidence that privation is rapidly disappearing. Along the water front, under every awning,] dozens of women and children may be seen munch- ing American hard tack, and food "t** ijemg distributed very rapidly about the plaza facing the pajace, and in the numerous airy cafes the officers of the opposing armies lounge throughout the day. The Americans are buying swords, medals and buttons from their late foes, and all talk cheer fully whenever an interpreter can be obtained. HUMORED DEATH OF GARCIA. New York, July 20.—A Kingston, Jamaica, cable to the Evening Fost says: “Cubans arriving from Siboney bring reports of the death of Gen. Garcia. They make a mystery of it, saying that it should not be known in Cuba yet, or in the United States, for reason’s of State, and give no particulars ex- cept that he was hot. Spanish refugees here,' who are officially connected with Gen. Blanco, be lieve the story.” The last word directly received by the Cuban Junta in this city from Garcia, was dated near San tiago, July 11. It was a cable message, and stated briefly that he was well and that the progress of events was satisfactory. At that time Garcia was to the west of Santiago, guarding the approaches from expected reinforcements to the city.

Parreja, the Spanish commander at Guantanamo, refuses to be included inthe “capit ulation” of Santiago de Cuba' Ac cording to Spanish military law a commander can surrender the troops which he personally com mands, but he cannot oblige other commanders at distant points, even though under his authority, to fol low suit. Consequently it is helct here that the “capitulation" only comprises about 7,000 troops actually at Santiago. Observe The Following.

Garcia has written Shafter com plaining that Shafter failed to in form him officially of the surrender of Santiago.

The real cause of eczema is the acrid condition of the blood, and to cure this annoying disease re quires only patience and plenty of Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.). Dr. Gillam made his first cure with this medicine over forty- seven years ago, and the medicine has been a godsend to over 500 sufferers since. Recollect thtt your system is saturated with this eczema, or salt rheum humor, and this poison must be forced out, And B. B. B. will do it as sure as the sun is to rise. * Julia E. Johnson, Stafford’s P. 0., fi. C., writes: “I had suffered thirteen years with eczema, and was at times confined to my bed. was terrible.. Mv sou-in-law got me onV'liau uuieu bottles of Botanjc Blood Balm, Mhich entirely cured me, and I ask you to publish this for the benefit of others suffering in like man ner.’’ We have many more testimon ials, which we will gladly show. They are printed in a little book, which will be sent, free of charge, to any onp who addresses ns. Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) is a purely vegatable preparation, originally compounded by Dr. Gillam, and used in bis private practice. It has cured many peo ple of all blood humors, scrofula, and from the common pimple to the worst case of blood poison. It is put up in large bottles for $1.00, and sold by all druggists. Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga. July (J«b. Milo* Uepftrttterp To ForloKtro I»o- fprr«*d I'ntll Complete Frepomtion* Are Mude. Washington, July 20.—The war and navy department are now en gaged in making all of the arrange ments for the dispatch of the Porto Rican expedition and Watson’s Eastern squadron. Gen. Mile’s expected departure^ was again deferred. The explana tion given was that there was dif ficulty experienced at Santiago in securing the naval convoy for the expedition. It is known, however, n addition, that the President him : self has restrained Gen. Miles to the extent of adjuring him in earn est terms not to commit the folly of starting for Porto Rica without the most eomplete preparation. The Government has profited by the lessons taught by the Santiago ex pedition. Aside from the actual loss of life that might be expected to result from a badly calculated start, it is realized that our rela tions with some of the European Powers would be impaired, in a small measure at least, by the ad verse moral effect created by any thing approaching a defeat for the Araericam arms at this stage of the war. Therefore, it is certain that so far as the department can prevent it Gen, Mile’s soldiers will not run short of food, nor tents to protect them from the tropical rains, nor of the means of transportation that were so deficient at the beginning of the Santiago movements.
