INTERESTING INCIDENT NEW YORK, July 16.—Washingtonians will be interested in the following extract from a dispatch in today’s Herald, from its correspondent with the army before Santiago, dated Thursday last: An interesting incident occurred a short time prior to the surrender of the Span- fards. A Spanish officer,’under cover of a white flag, was seen approaching the right of the American lines near the point occu- pied by the volunteers from the District of Columbia. Addressing Col. Harries, the Spanish officer said: “I wish to tell you, sir, as you cannot know the fact, that your men are taking advantage of the truce to extend their earthworks. “Sir,” said Col. Harries in reply, “I wish to convey similar information to you. The Spaniards opposite us are doing exactly the same thing.” “Surely you are mistaken, sir,” the Span- iard retorted, positively. “I am not,” said Col. Harries, with equal positiveness. “I crawled out to within fifty feet of your camp last night and saw for myself exactly what was being done. The fact is that the men have a rigat to work within the lines during a truce, but not to extend their lines. But the Span- iards have been working for two days on the hill where their big gun was hit by a shell last Saturday. The Spanish officer returned to his own line, being able to say nothing mors about the matter. The lines of the Americans and Spaniards were so close this morning that several horses belonging to the enemy strayed over to our side. Two deserters froin the ene- my’s lines crossed the intervenlag space and presented themseives to the Americans before their former comrades could realize that they had left the Spanish tines. ae SS CAUGHT THE CABLE.

The finding of the cable was accidential. It has been decided to buoy the cable for future use and not to cut it. Baiquiri Cable Laid. PLAYA DEL ESTE, July 15 (delayed in transmission).—The signal service cable boat completed the laying of the cable to- day between BPaiquiri and Guantanamo bay. The French cable between Guanta- namo bay and Santiago de Cuba will be at once reconnected and turned over to the company. The government will use its own cable for business between these two points.

EX-SEC'Y SHERMAN’S TRIPISTATE ELECTIONS Impressions of His Recent Visit Alaska, The Strait Extending for 1,200 Miles Through the State of Washington —Remarkable Waterway. —EE Ex-Secretary John Sherman visited the State Departmeat of personal business yesterday, and -whiie there he told a Star reperter many interesting things in regard to his recent visit toiAlaska. “My visit to Alaska" he said, “was very interesting, indeed. Many inquiries have been made to me in»regard to It, and I have no objection .ta stating to you the impression made upén me by that far- distant territory-of the United States. To reach it we had to cross the continent by way of Chicago and St. Paul to Tacoma, in the state of Washington, a distance of 3,000 miles, over an, admirable system of rail- roads. I had traveled over this route some years ago, but was agreeably surprised at the great improvement of the railroads, and still more at the rapid settlement of the country along the whole line. Large cities and towns have sprung into exist- ence or have rapidly grown, such as Min- neapolls, St. Paul, Moorehead, Fargo, Bis- marck, Livingston, Helena, Missouli, Spo- kane and Pasco. | We stopped over for a day or more at each of these places. We made a rather hurried visit to the Yel- lowstone National Park, which contains within it more weird und wonderful freaks of nature than can be found in any other part of the earth’s surface. It was not so attractive to me, as I had entered and explored the park many years ago, when there was no wheel track within its lim- its. Then we entered cn horseback with a military guard of United States troops, and spent two weeks in exploring its won- ders. Now good roads have been made and five hotels erected. It seems to me less in- teresting than when, with a party of four and a guard of ten United States soldiers, we explored the wilderness, threatened by Indians, with only foottracks to guide us and guns and pistols to defend us from wild beasts and savages. “From Livingstone the railroad follows the valley far to the northwest to cross the mountains and thence to the south- west to the inland waters of the Pacific ocean at Tacoma. A Remarkable Waterway. “This body of internal salt water stretch- ing rom Tacoma, in.the state of Washing- ton, to near the north boundary of south- east Alaska, a distance of 1,200 miles, is the most remarkable waterway on the map of the world. It is separated from the Pa- cific ocean by innumerable islands, except in a few places open to the sea, and even these are so obstructed by small islands that the whole body of interior waters may be considered as a navigable river rising with the tide, but always as smooth and tranquil as the most quiet sea. Vessels of the largest class can pass from one end to the other without fear of waves, storms or hurricanes. The great ocean which sup- Plies it with water may storm and rage, but the water of the strait is protected by its surrounding islands and mountains from winds und waves. It is impossible to esti- mate the commercial value of such a body of water to the coming thousands who will settle on {ts shores. “This Pacific stralt has the appearance of width of. five miles, and in several places. it narrows to the width of less. than 1,000 feet. The waters are imprisoned at a great depth and nearly all the way are surrounded by high moun- tains, some of them rising to the height of 10,000 feet. To one sailing in these tran- quil waters the view is enchanting; moun- tains rising on both sides, divided by deep Vatieys. These mountains are not continu- ous ranges, like the Rocky and Alleghany mountains. The lower mountains: are cov- ered with timber and rock, and the higher mountains with snow all the year round. As yet these:mountains have not yet felt to any greatextent the presence of man. We do not know ef the untold riches that are buried im them. Already one noted mining plant known as the Treadwell Mills and said to be the largest one of its kind in the world, tg, pounding away upon rocks yielding $2 of gold, to a ton of ore, and the company.is guite content with the profit. “From thy jn strait there are many branches of, considerable length reaching far into the coi the aggregate length of which is greater than the length of the main body. _ 19w of no such inland sea protected from rms that will compare in value to these northwestern straits. It is fortunate that they are in the possession of the two English-speaking nations who ought to le controversy about their respective boun les, and each to grant to the other free navigation over all the wa- ters of which either has jurisdiction. “We traversed in the steamer Cottage City the waters from Tacoma to Dyea and Sitka, stopping at every place of import- ance and varied our course to see the Mair glacier and other glaciers on the route. During the twelve days’ sailing in these inland waters I was not disturbed by the waves of the sea, For nearly all the dis- tance our vessel was. pentectee by islands. At two points only did the strait open to the ocean, and while passing these some of the passengers felt the motion the sea, but this lasted for two or three irs only in one case, and an hour in the ot\er.”” Mee a There was a slight fire in the house of Annie Bouthon, No. 468 School street southwest, yesterday ‘afternoon, caused by @ defective flue.

SELECTION OF NEW LEGISLATORES An Important Contest in New York. SENATORSHIPS AT STAKE This is a month of conventions to nom{- nate state officers, and within the next thirty days the party slates in most of the states will be made up. Minnesota, Penn- sylvania, Maine and Vermont have held their nominating conventions for state of- ficers. In Vermont the election will be held September 6 and in Maine September 12. The congressional elections will be held at the same time. ‘There is no uniformity as to the number of officials to be elected in the states. in some the entire personnel of the govern- ment of the commonwealths will be sub- mitted to the test of the ballots; in others oniy a few minor officials and a portion of the legislature will be chosen, while a few states will elect the governor and the en- tire legislature. Owing to the fact that in the states the subsequent choice of a United States senator depends upon the make-up Of the legislature, national issues will be injected to a large extent into the state campaigns. The result will be at- tempts at fusion between the elements sur- viving the wreck of the Bryan campaign and the combinations then made. In many sections, however, the former coalitions have disintegrated to such an extent in even the short space of time which has elapsed since the late presidential cam- paign that the party leaders are finding dit- ficulty in getting them together again. In the western states the struggle for control of the local government and for the election of representatives in Congress will be vigorously waged. In most of the eastern state# the absence of the populist vote, preventing fusion, will narrow the contest to the sharp lines drawn py the two larger parties. In all the states ex- cept Oregon the representatives in Con- gress will be elected. Missouri will be the scene of a lively cam- paign. One-half of the state senate and the entire lower branch of the legislature, will be elected, together with a justice of the supreme court, a superintendent of public instruction and a railroad corimis- sioner. Z Nebraska will be a storm center of po- itical struggie from the meeting of the state convention until the 8th of Novem- ber. The governor, the complete list of state officers and the entire legislature will be up for election. A seat in the United States Serate and, of course, the repre- sentatives in Congress will be at issue. Minnesota elects the governor, legislature and minor officials. The United States sen- atorship is also at stake in this state. Colorado will elect one-half the senate, the entire lower branch of the legislature, & governor and cther state officers. The nominating conventions will not be held until September, the law of the state pro- hibiting campaigns longer than sixty days. Vermont elects a governor, legislature and state officials. Maine will choose a governor, legislature and minor officials. Massachusetts will elect a governor, other state officers und upper and lower houses of the legislature. Indiana. will choose one-half the state senate and some minor state officials. In Illinois the election will not be im- portant, being confined to state treasurer and some educational officials. New York will elect governor, state off- clals and legislature. The campaign, on account of local issues and the United States senatorship at stuke, promises to be one of the most interesting for several years. New Jersey selects a legislature and gov- ernor, together with some other state offi- cials. = officials and so many of Elections for various branches of the legislature will also be held in the following states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio (minor officials), South Carolina, South Du- kota, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Georgia's election will be held in October. Those states in which senators will be elected by the legislatures chosen rext November were noted in The Star a few days ago.

The city of Santiago, together with the fourth Spanish army corps and the ex- treme eastern end of Cuba, including an area of about 5,000 square miles, was sur- rendered to the Americans by Toral, acting commander of the Spanish forces, after prolonged parieying; commissioners from both. sides immediately began the negotia- tion of the exact terms and the plans for deporting the captured army to Spain, as agreed in the general terms of the capitula- tion; it was then ascertained that the Span- ish commander had not acted in entire good faith and the situation was complicated by his additional demand that the Spanish army be permitted to carry its arms to Spain; this was refused by the American authorities and orders were sent from Washington to Generals Miles and Shafter, in the field, to resist this demand and to attack Santiago if the original terms were not immediately accepted. Yellow ‘ever appeared among the American troops dur- ing the week and steps were at once taken to isolate the cases and to stamp out the disease; this emergency hastened the nego- tiations for surrender and led to the grant- ing of more favorable terms to Spain than were at first proposed. No important active operations were conducted; in a slight skir- mish one American officer and one private soldier were killed; Gen. Shafter extended his line to complete the investment of the city; the District of Columbia troops, re- cently landed, were rushed to the front and assigned an important and dangerous posi- tion on the right of the line, to assist in re- sisting an attempt of the enemy to escape from the city by the north and west. The sailing of the flying squadron, designed to carry the war to Spain, under the com- mand of Commodore Watson, was post- poned because of the need of the available colliers in connection with the operation of Admiral Sampson's fleet off Santiago. Ad- vices were received from Admiral Dewey at Manila that he had taken possession of Grande Island, giving him control of Subig bay; this operation disclosed the meddling tactics of the German squadron; word was received that the German cruiser Irene had interfered with the operations of the insurgents at Grande Island and Dewey dispatched two small cruisers to that point; when they appeared the Irene slipped her cables and retired quickly; the Spanish garrison at the island thereupon surrender- ed to the Americans; the disclosure of this episode caused much unpleasant feeling in both Germany and the United States. The situation in Madrid pointed strongly toward the early opening of peace negotiations; the resignations of the Sagasta ministry were placed in the hands of the queen re- gent; after the fall of Santiago, but before the Spanish public was informed of the fact, the crown decreed the suspension of the constitutional rights of indiviauals, thus in effect placing the kingdom under martial law; at the same time the entire official salary list was suspended for the purpose of swelling the war purse; Premier Sagasta was quoted as stating that the time for peace overtures seemed to be at hand. The military operations outside of Santiago and the Philippines were insig- nificant; the auxiliary crulser Dixie cap- tured three prizes, attempting to run the blockade into Manzanillo from Jamaica with food supplies; expeditions were land- ed on the Cuban coast with supplies for Gen. Gomez's army; the auxiliary cruisers St. Louis and Harvard arrived at Ports- mouth, N. H., with Spanish prisoners, the former carrying the officers captured with the Spanish fleet; on the latter much sick- ness had broken out among the prisoners and several deaths occurred; the enlisted men and subordinate officers were made comforta! at Portsmouth in temporary barracks and the higher officers, including Admiral Cervera, were sent to Annapolis, to be quartered in the officers’ barracks at the Naval Academy. The Spanish squad- ron under command of Admiral Camara, recently sent through the Suez canal, turn- ed back to d Spain under peremptory orders occasioned by the announcement that Watson’s squadron would sail east- ward for an aggressive move. It was sald to have been reported by the naval board of survey in the case that of the four Span- ish cruisers sunk off Santiago only the Maria Teresa was in condition to be saved and utilized. Senor du Bosc and Lieut. Carranza, late attaches of the Spanish le- gation in Washington, were ordered by the colonial government to leave Canada, and in consequence sailed on a cattle steamer after formally protesting against this ac- tion. National and Domestic. Subscriptions to the war loan of $200,- 000,000, which closed Thursday, aggregated about six times the amount of the loan and represented a quarter of a million indl- viduals: treasury officials and the admin- istration generally were highly pleased with the suceess of the loan, and especially under the peculiar conditions of the call. The President directed the chief of en- gineers of the army to use his discretion in the removal of harbor and river mines planted at the beginning of the war; the requests for their removal from naviga- tion companies and other interests had become so voluminous that in view of the Gestruction of the Spanish squadron in these waters it was decided that it would be safe to remove this obstruction to com- merce.

An explosion occurred in the terminal aqueduct at Cleveland and eleven men lost their lives. Forecaster Dunn of the weather bureau resigned as a result of orders sent to him to proceed to duty in the West Indies or to take sta- tion at a less important station than New York.

A car on the Capital railway line, run- ning toward Anacostia from Congress Heights, became unmanageable through the breaking of the brake chain and dash- ed into a horse car at the bottom of a steep hill; two passengers were killed and more than thirty were seriously injured; a coroner's jury held that the car was over- loaded with passengers and that the brak- ing appliances were inadequate; in conse- quence an agitation for a regulation re- Stricting the loads of street cars was in- augurated and the Commissioners made inquiries into the possibility of requiring street railway companies to equip their cars with emergency brakes.
