THE PRESIDENT'S BL State Paper That Will Mark an Epoen in Amer? ica's History. Washington, July 18.-A state pa per that will be historic, making an epoch in American history, was is? sued to night by direction of Presi? dent McKinley It provides in general terms for the government of the province of Santiago de Cuba aud the first docu? ment of the kind ever prepared by a President of the United Ststes. By order of-Secretary Alger, Adj Gen Corbin to night cabled the doc ument to General Shatter, in com mand of the military forces at San tiago The paper ie not only sn aa thcrization and instruction to Gen. Sbafter for the government of the captured territory, but also a procla? mation to the people of the territory of the intentions of the government of the United States regarding them and their interests It make the formal establishment of a new politi? cal power in the island of Cuba and insures to the people of the territory over which the power extends abso? lute security in the exercise of their private rights and relations, as weil as security to their personal property. The full text of the document is as follows : Adjutant General's Office. .Washington, July IS. 1898. Gen. Shaftc, Santiago, Cuba : The following ic sent you for your information aud guidance It will be published in such manner in both English and Spanish as will give it the widest circulation in the terri? tory under your control : Executive Mansion, Washington, July 18, 1898. i To the Secretary of War : Sir : The capitulation of the Span ?8h forces in Santiago de Cuba and in the eastern part of the province of Santiago, and the occupation of the territory by the forces cf the United States render it necessary to instruct the milita*y commander of the United States as to the conduct which be is to observe during the military occu pation The first effect of the military oc? cupation of the enemy's territory is the severance of the former political relations of the inhabitants, and the establishment of a new political pow er. Uunder this changed condition of things, the inhabitants, so iong as they perform their duties, are en? titled to security in their persons and property, and in ail their private rights and relations It is my de? sire that the inhabitants of Cuba should be acquainted with the pur? pose of the United States, to dis? charge to the fullest extent its obli? gations in this regard It will, there fore, be the duty of the commander of the army of occupation to announce and proclaim in the most public man? ner that we come not to make war upon the inhabitants of Cuba, nor upon any party or faction among them, but to protect them in their homes, in their employments, and in the personal and religious rights. Ali persons, who, either by active or I by honest submission, co operate with the United States in its .efforts to give effect to this b?n?ficient pur? pose, will receive the leward of its support and protection Our occu ! pation shall be as free from severity as possible. Though the powers of the m?i tary occupant are absolute and su? preme and immediately operate upon the political condition of the inhabi? tants, the municipal laws of the con? quered territory, such as effect pri j vate rights of person and propert}7, and provide for the punishment of crime, are considered as continuing in force, so far as they are compatible ; with the new order of things, until they are suspended or superseded by the occupying belligerents ; and in practice they are not usually abro gated, but are allowed to remain in force and to be administered by the ordinary tribunals, substantially sa they were before the occupation. This enlightened practice is, so far as possible, to be adhered to on the present occasion The judges and other officials connected with the ad? ministration of justice may, if they accept the supremacy of the United States, continue to administer the or dinary iaw of the land, as between roan and man Under the 6upervis ion of the American commander in chief, the native constabulary will, j so far as practicable, be preserved, j The freedom of the people to pursue their accustomed occupations will be ? abridged only when it may be neces- J sary to do so. While tiie rule of conduct of the j American commander-in cnef will ? be such as has just been defined, it i will be hie duties io adept measures i of a different kind; if, unfortunately, | the course of the people should ron der such measures indispensable to ihe maintenance of law aud order, be will then possess the power to re j place or expel the native officials in ? part or altogether, to substitute new courts of his own, constitutions for those that now exist, or to create such new or supplementary tribunals j as may be necessary. In the exer? cise cf these high powers the com? mander must be guided by his judg ment and bis experience, and a high sense of justice One of the most important and most practicai problems with which it will be necessaty to deal is that of the treatment of property and the collection and administration of the revenues It is conceded that all public funds and securities belonging to the government of the country in its own right and ail arms and sup pli?? and other movable property of 6uch government, may be seized by the military occupant and couverted to bis own use The real property of the state he may hold and admin? ister, at the same time enjoying the revenues thereof, but he is not to de? stroy it save in the case of military necessity All public means of trans portation, such as telegraph lines, cables, railways and boats beiongiug to the state may be appropriated to his use, but, unless in ca6e of mili? tary necessity they are not to be de? stroyed. All churches and buildings devoted to religious worship and to the arts and sciences, all school bouses, are, so far as possible, to be protected and all destruction or in? tentional defacement of such places of historical monuments or archives or of works of science or art is pro hibited, save when required by ur? gent military necessity^ Private property, whether belong? ing to individuals or corporations, is to be respected, and can be confis caled only as hereafter indicated. Means of transportation, such as telegraph-lines and cables, railways and boats, may, although they be long to private individuals or corpo? rations, be seized by the military oc? cupant, but unless destroyed under military necessity, are not to be re? tained. While it is held to be the right of the conqueror to levy contributions upon the enemy in their seaport towns, or provinces which may be in his military possession by conquest, and to apply the proceeds to defray the expense of' the war, this right ie to be exercised within such limita? tions that it may not savor of confisca? tion As the result of military occu? pation the taxes and duties* payable by the inhabitants to the former government become payable by the inhabitants to the military occu? pants unless he sees fit to substitute for them other modes of contribu tion to the expenses of the govern? ment. The moneys so collected are to be used for the purpose of paying the expenses of government under the military occupation, such as the salaries of the judges and police and for the payment of expenses of the army. Private property taken for the use of the army is to be paid for when possible in cash at a fair valuation and when payment iu cash is not possible, receipts are to be given. All ports and places in Cuba which may be in the actual possession of our land and naval forces will be opened to the commerce of all neutral nations, as well as our own, in articles not contraband of war, upon payment of the prescribed rates of duty which may be in force at the time of the importation. William McKinley. By order of the secretary of war. H. C Corbin, Adjutant General. Reckless Sheriff Daniels. The sheriff of Williamsburg Couoty refused yesterday to deliver Early Lie, of Lake City, to Deputy Marshal Clay? ton oo a writ of babeas corpus issued by Judge Brawiey. of the United States District Court Lee, who is the leading witness against the white men oharged with the Lake City lynching affair, was arrested last week on a war? rant sworn out before Magistrate Gas kins, of Lake City The charge against bim was larceny, and it was alleged that the crime was committed io February last. When Lee was taken in by the State authorities the district attorney took steps to have him brought under the protection of the Federal Courts, and the writ was there? fore obtaioed. Deputy Claytoo served the papers on Sheriff Daniels, of Williamsburg, but the sheriff said Lee was sixteen miles in the oouotry with the chain gang, and the papers must be served there. The marshal immediately hurried to the convict camp, but ic is said that a mes? senger got there ahead of him, and the superintendent refused to recognize the writ. Dr. Clayton could not get bis mao, so he returned to Charleston late last night alone Some interest? ing developments are likely to follow. Newrj and Courier, July 17. SOME GERMAN OPINIONS. London, July 16 -The Berlin cor? respondent of the Times says : The Irene incident is hardly commented upon here, but the fact that no offi? cial denial is forthcoming is worthy of note The North German Gazette declares that, so far as it knows, no confirmation of the incident has been ? received in official circles. The National Gazette dismisses it as a rumor intended to create bad feeling between (?ermany aud the United The Vose?88che Zeitung recognizes i the importance of the fall ef Santia I go, but emphasizes the fact that Cuba is in no way lost to Spain, as Santi ago is of no strategic importance now that Admiral Cervera's squadron is destroyed. GEN. MILES GONE TO FORTO RICO. GEN. BROOKE SECOND IN COMMAND. Washington, July 18.-After three days, consultation between the Presi? dent Secretary Alger aod Gen Brooke, during which there was frequent com ? muuication with Gen. Miles at Sibooey, the details of the Porto Rican expedi? tion were perfected and the expedition itself was gotten under way, Gen Miles, with some artillery and troops failing today for Porto Rico or* the con? verted cruiser Yale, to be followed quickly by au army of about 30,000 meo. There are some ootable differ? ences in the plan for this expedition aod for the stately naval pageant that sailed away from Tampa under Gen. Shafter'a command to attack Santiago. First, there will be no naval convoys, the oavy department has declared that they are unnecessary ; that there is not a Spanish warship in the West Indies that dare trust its bow out of port. Io the seoond place the expedition does not atart from one point, but will oe divided among several ports, thus pre? venting the tremendous ooogestioo that was encountered at Tampa in the effort to start the big fleet. Lastly, there will be oo s flor t to get the ships away together, bat the transports will be allowed to find their owo way to their destination without concerted move? ments. Gen Miles leads the way. He had been promised by the President that be should go to Porto Rico and the prom? ise was redeemed wheo the Yale head? ed to-day from Siboney for Porto Rico, 800 miles distant. Geo Brooke will be the seoior officer in G?n. Miles' command and upon him j will fall the responsibility for tbeexeca- j tion of the details of his superior's ! plans. It is estimated that Geo. Miles should arrive by Wednesday eight at tbs point selected for the landing and will hoist che American flag at once over Porto Rican soil. The point chosen for his landing is kept a secret, as the general will land before tbe full body of the expedition is at hand, aod it is consequently cot desirable that the enemy should be able to assemble a su? perior foroe to meet him. The distance from Charleston where the first body of troops for Miles' expeditioo was to start to-day, is more than double the distance from Santiago to Porto Rioo so that the transports which sail from the former city cao scarcely reach Geo. Miles before the early part of nexi week. These Charleston troops are thc first brigade of the first divisioo of the first army corps aod are commaoded by Brig. Gen. George H. Ernst. The brigade comprises the 2d Wisconsin, 3d Wis cousin and l6th Pennsylvania regi meets. The purpose of Secretary Alger is to make the Porto Rican ?campaign a short one. AoJ overwhelming force will be thrown upon the island aod it ia possible that a bloodless victory will be achieved wheo the Spanish become convinced that they have no reasonable j chance to resist successfully. The expeditioo is to comprise 30,000 men at the start, and it will be swelled soon to 40,000, and if necessary to 70, 000, the equipment of the volunteer forces having now progressed so well as to warrant the statement that that num? ber oan be ready for service in Porto Rico within a very short time. The entire body of troops at Tampa will be takeo, number about 13.000 men and including a lot of heavy and light ar? tillery under command of Gen. Rodg? ers. The expeditioo will be particu? larly strong with artillery as some of that at Santiago commanded by Gen. Randolph is to he drawn upon. The Tampa troops are knowo as the 4th corps under Maj Gen. Coppinger, comprising the 2d division under Brig. Gen. Simon Sycder aod made up of the 1st brigade, Brig. Gen Schwan, 11th and 19th United States infantry ; 2d brigade, Brig. Gen. Carpenter, 2d New York and 5th Maryland ; 3d brigade, 157th Indiana 3d Pennsylva? nia and 1st Ohio. Brig. Geo. Hale; 3d division, Brig. Gen. Kline, command? ing 1st brigade ; Col. C. L. Kennan, 5th Ohio, 1st Florida and 32d Michi? gan ; 2d brigade, Brig. Gen. Lincoln, 69th New York, 3d Ohio and 2d Geor? gia, the provisional cavalry brigade, Col. Noyes ; 5th United States and de? tachments of 1st, 3d, 6;h and 10 Uni? ted States cavalry and eight troops of Rough Riders ; artillery brigade, Gen. Randolph, two ii^ht aod ten heavy bar ? teries It is possible that all of the I cavalry will not bc called upon. Gen Brooke will take with him \ j from Chickaraauga park most of the 1st and 2d brigades of his army corps, j the 1st-these are (in addition to Gen Ernst's brigade at Charleston) j the 2d brigade, 1st division. Gen. i j Haine's 4th Ohio, 3d Illinois and 4th Pennsylvania ; 3d brigade, Col. J. S. Culver, 1 st Kentucky, 3d Kentucky, 1st Illinois ; 2d division, Col J. S. j Poland commanding. First brigade, Brig Gen. C T. Roe, 31st Michigan, I 1st Georgia, 160th Indiana : 2d bri- ? gade, Gen. McKee, 6th Ohio, 153th i Indiana, 1st West Virginia, 3d bri- j gade, Brig. Gen. Rosser, 2d Ohio, 1st Pennsylvania, 15th Minnesota. The part which the navy is to take in the assault against Porto Rico has been fully matured. The several j transport fleets will have with them one or two auxiliary craft carrying j strong secondary batteries of six or eight pounders Secretary Long said this afternoon that no time had been fixed for the departure of Admiral Sampson's fleet for San Juan. As to the navy's plans he would only say thal they would co operate in every way with movements of the army. The reports that three monitors were on their way from Key West to San Juan was characterized by the Secre? tary as unauthorized. It is the general understanding, however, that the navy will rely mainly on armored ships for the bombardment of San Juan, as the big battleships and moni? tors afford the best means of offen sive warfare, while their armor belt protect them from such fire as the San Juan batteries can bring to bear. The fortifications there are much like those of Sautiago, with a Morro castle at the entrance of the harbor [and a number of lesser fortifications leading up to the city. These, however, are viewed with less awe since an exami? nation of the Morro batteries at Santi? ago bas shown them to be antiquated and capable of little resistance. THE SITUATION IN MANILA. Insurgent Leaders' Interview With Captain-General. Manila, July 13, via Hong Kong, July 18 -An important interview has just been held between Gen. Aguin? aldo's secretary, Legarda, aod a prom? inent native white man, and the Span? ish commander. Capt. Gen. Angustio. The insurgent's representatives urged Gen. Augustin to surrender the city, asserting that 50,000 insurgents sur? rounded Maoila and were able to enter ? it at any moment. Thus far, they I addetf, the insurgente had been re? strained with difficulty, but if the Spaniards continued stubborn, the re I suit would be that the insurgents I would be compelled to bombard and ?storm the city "with the iaevitable ! slaughter, unparalleled in history, be j cause io the excitement of battle they I cannot discriminate." Continuing, the captain general's visitors advised bim to disregard the official's fictions regarding alleged Spanish victories in Cuba and rein? forcements coming to the Fbilippine islands, and proposed a reconciliation between the Spaniards and the Phil? ippines, under a republican flag, and a joint endeavor to persuade the Amer? icans to abandon hostilities in the Philippine islands. Finally, the repre? sentatives of the insurgents proposed an appeal to the powers to recognize the independence of the Philippine islands. The captain general replied that be must fight, however, hopeless, the Span? ish cause. Legarda then returned to Cavite, taking with him the native, who is a paroled prisoner. The natives inside the city say they received, a fortnight ago, a concerted signal to prepare for storming the walls A second signai ; fixing the date of the assaut, has not yet been issued, and they are tired of waiting and losing faith in Aguinaldo The latter, it is alleged, finds ^it extremely difficult to capture the town fortifications. His j previous successes, it is pouted out, were easy, because of the nature of tbe country which suited his skirmishers. It is further alleged that the principal points captured by tbe insurgents were obtained possession of through treach? ery. The insurgents are bringing artillery around by sea from Malabon, which is tedious and troublesome work. They are also obtaining detailed reports of the condition of affairs from the inside of the city. Admiral Dewey is establishing a more strict blockade, lest it be invali? dated by permitting neutrals to visit Cavite and Malabon, and send and re? ceive enclosed surreptitious Spanish dispatched. He has threatened to sta? tion warships opposite the city, which might precipitate hostilities, as the Spanish officers declare they will ber I tainly fire on any American within range regardless of the consequence. The second installment of American troops is expected here daily, and the last detachment are booked to arrive bere early io August. Probably mili? tary operations will be deferred until the September dry seasoc, wheo it is cooler, and possibiy then bloodshed may be unnecessary. A Spanish steamer, the Fillipiaas, j has just been brought in herein the i bands of the insurgents. It aopears ! that she was on the northern coast and ! escapiog to China with a native orew i on board when the latter revolted, kill ? ed the Spanish and brought the vessel to Cavite The Spaniards are dai'y employing convicts to fell trees and burn huts OD thc outskirts of the town.

London, July 15-The weekly papers express great satisfaction over the fall of Santiago de Cuba. The Speaker thinks the event presages the end of the war, but describes it as "a stroke of good fortune which the Americans had no right to ex? pect." It adds : "The terms of surrender are not dishonorable. They reflect credit upon both sides. The Saturday Review explains its change of attitude in favor of Ameri? ca, and declares all its original anta? gonism was prompted by America's "aggressive humor,''* while its pre? sent attitude is a "somewhat tardy but ungrudging admission of Ameri? can courage and humanity " The paper proceed! in terms of high praise of the United States along the lices of its article a week4ago, Meteorological Sword.
