FLAG RAISED OVER THE CITY HALL Gen. Shafter Reports That Order is Being Preserved. pane es LITTLE YELLOW FEVER Gen Shafter is now in full possession and absolute control of Santiago. The first message conveying the*news of Santiago's fcrmal surrender was received the White Ho: yesterday shortly before 11 o'clock, just as the President was prepar- ing to go to church. About 5 in the after- neon Gen. Shafter forwarded a dispaich that graphically told the story of the a: It wes as follows: HEADQUARTERS U. S. ARMY, Santiago de Cuba, July 17. Adjutant General, U. S. Army, Washing- ton, D. C.: I have the honor to announce that the American flag has been this instant, 12 o'clock noon, hoisted over the house ef the civil government in the city of Santiago.

Pertect order is being maintained by mu- nicipal government. Distress is very grea but little sickness in town. Scarcely any yellow fever. A smali gunboat and about 200 seamen left by Cervera have surren- dered to me. Obstruciions are being re- moved froza mouth of harbor. Upon coming into the I discovered a perfect entanglemeni of defenses. Fighting as the Spaniards did the first day, it would have cost 5,000 lives to have taken it. Battalions of Spanish troops have heen depositing arms since daylight in armory. over which I have guard. Gen. Toral for- mally surrendered the plaza and all stores at 9 am. W. R.

Disarming and turning in will go on tomorrow. List of prisoners not yet taken. SHAFTER Major Genera}, Commanding. A Magnificent Achievement. “It was a magnificent achievement,” said Secretary Alger last night, referring to the capture of Santiago, “and, most of all, it is a tribute to the bravery, pluck and en- durance of cur American soldiers. Now that their efforts have brought final and complete success, I believe their campaign Will be recorded as one of the most glo- rious pages cf our military history. No+ more than 10,000 mon were engaged when the most sericus fighting occurred, but they pushed forward, and created a condi- tion which has brought the surrender of 25,000 men.” Senator Cannon was at the War Depart- ment when the firct news was received that the American fag had been raised ever Saatiago. “That is a notable episode.” id he, “and one which will be tcr¥. The Anglo-Saxon flag is going up constantly, and this is but one more fig te be raised as an emblem of civilization and good government. The work must go 1 the Spanish flag disappears from ern hemisphere, for it is impo sible for the Stars and Stripes and the yel- iow flag of Spain to float together in the new world.” It is expected that and perhaps a lon: recorded his- two or three days, ime, will be re ited rms and equipments at Santiago. ( ates forces of the the Spanish troor after indicates ir rapidly as_possiole, work will coatinue tod Direct communication with Santiago, via Playa del Este and Haiti, has been ests lished, but it is likely, in the opinion of Gen. Greely, the chief signal officer, that even better communication will hare been established in a cay or two. Gen. Shafter has replied to dent’s congratulations, as follow PLAYA DEL ESTE, To the President: Camp near Santiago, July 16. I thank you, and my army thank you, for your congratulatory telegram of to- éay. I am proud to s: y one in it performed his duty ga Your mes- Sage will be read to every iment {n the army at noon tomorrow. (Signed) SHAFTER, Major General. The arms surrendered by the Spanish sol- diers at Santiago to General Shafter will be Kept by the United States government. This conclusion, reached by the President, was made public by Secretary Alger last the Prest- night. “All those who have arms will turn them over to this government. This is final.” These were the Secretary’s words when asked for Information on the subject. And,” he added, in response to further in- quiries and to y doubt that might exist on the subje ‘the rifies will not be returned to Spain.” This decision of the President applies alike to those Spanish soldiers who have not been engaged with the United States troops as well as to those who have been participants in the recent battles. Deporting the Prisoners. The quartermaster general of the army has invited proposals for the transportation to Spain of the Spanish officers and men who surrendered to General Shafter. The advertisement is as follows: “Sealed proposals are invited for the transportation of the Spanish prisoners of war who surrendered to the United States forces, from Santiago de Cuba to Cadiz, or such other port of Spain as may hereafter be designated. Their number is estimated as 1,000 commissioned officers and 000 en- listed men. Cabin accommodations are to be supplied for the officers, and third-class or steerage accommodations, having suit- to transportation. Temporary Military Governor. Gen. Chambers McKibbin, who has been appointed temporary military governor of Santiago, is 2 member of an old and weil- known Pennsylvania family. He was born in Chambersburg, rot far from the famous Gettysburg battlefield. Early in the civil war he enlisted as a private in the regular army and almost immediately afterward Was appointed a second Meutenant in the 4th Infantry. His first promotion was given him on the 10th of June, 1864, when he was made a first Heutenant. On August 18 of the same year he was given a brevet commisston as captain for gallant services in the battle of North Anna River, Va., end during the operations on the Weldon railroad. At the conclusion of the war Mc- Kibbin chose to remain in the army, and on the 3th of January, 1867, he was promoted to be a captain in the 35th Infantry. Ou the 25th of April, 1892, he became major of the 25th Infantry, and on May 1, 1806, lieu- tenant colonel of the 21st Infantry. It was as iicutenant colonel of the 2ist that he went to Cuba. During the battle of San- tiago his services were of so distinguished a character as to win for him special men- tion in Gen. Shafter’s official reports. He Was among the officers recommended for promotion, and was last week named by the President as a brigadier general of vol- unteers. That the administration and Gens, Miles and Shafter impose great confidence in him is Indicated by his appointment as temporary military governor of the city. Capt. William McKettrick, who had the honor to raise the stars and stripes over the palace in Santiago, is an aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Shafter. On the 12th of May he was appointed by the President to be an assistant acjutant general with the rank of captain and was assigned soon afterwards to the Sth Army Corps, now under Shafter’s comm: nd in Cuba. He is a resident cf California. it is expected by tle Navy Department that but few ships of Admiral Sampson's *quadron will enter the harbor at Santiago. Bnough vessels will be sent in to put the harbor in condition for naval operations and the needs of American interests. To Disinfect the Mails, The prevalence of yellow fever around Santiago in the opinien of the postal au- thorities has made it necessary to disinfect the mails coming from that place. Mr. Louis Kempner, who was appointed to suc- ceed Mr. Eben Brewer as postal agent in Cuba, was directed to confer with army and navy officials as to the necessity for this work, but no answer having been re- ceived to telegrams sent him the postal officials here conferred with Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman of the marine hospital and Gen. Sternberg in regard to the matter, It Was then decided to fumigate all mail leay- ing Santiago, and a machine for this pur- pose will be immediately sent there. The fumigation will be very thorough, the mail being taken from the pouches and every el allowed to come in contact with the infectant, instead of subjecting it to the process while in sacks. The work will be in charge of persons be- longing to some of the immune organiza- tions, and the officials here say that when the packages and letters have passed through this process there can be no dan- ger of their bringing disease to this country. ———___-e q OUR TRADE WITH PORTO RICO. Next to Spa’ It is the Largest of Any Country. In view of the present war plans, a com- prehensive statistical report of the trate of Porto Rico, just prepared under the di- rection of Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock. chief of the forcign markets section of the Ag- ricultural Department, and approved by Secretary Wilson, is of unusual interest. During the calendar year 1896 the foreign trade of Porto Rico, according to the of Cal returns, attained a total value of $36, 624,129, exceeding all previous records, and teing a gain in ten years of more than .000,009, Imports into Porto Rico gen- erally have somewhat exceeded exports, but in 1896, for the first time in over a de- cade, the value of the merchandise shipped to foreign markets was slightly greater than that of the imported wares. The ex- ports for 1896 had a value of $18,241,430, cid the largest on record, while’ the for the same year, $18,282,690, were ed only in 1894, when foreign 36. the goods received amounted to $19,085, The foreign trade of Porto Rico is con- cucted chiefly with Spain, the United States, Cuba, Germany, the United King- dom and France. Spain received the larg- est share of the trade, its transxettons having an average annual value of $0,8S8,- 074, which was 28.N0 per cent of the total valuation placed upon the island's com- merce. The United States ranked second, the value of the goods exchanged averag- ing $6,845,252 a year, or 19.94 per cent of the total. Cuba’s irade with Porto Rico amounted to 13.41 per cent of the total, having an average yearly value of $4, 220. During 1896, the latest year covered by the Porto Rican statisti Hitchcock succeeded which Mr. in obtaining in ad- vence indirectly from the colonial admin- istration of the island, there were, besides the six countries cited, nine other countries with which the island had a trade exceed- ing $100,000. sions. They follow: British posses other than East Indies, $2.039,74 $1,047,843: British East Indies. $886, Austria-Hungary, $553, Belgiur, 701; Argentina, Urugua: almost en- tirely of agricultural produce. Of imports n.anufactured articles do not greatly ex- ceed the agricultural. Agricultural im- ports in 18% were valued at $7,171,352, made up chiefly of rice, wheat, flour ané hog products. Non-agricultural impcrts were valued at $9,664,101, the chief goods being cotton fabrics, whose imports reach- ed 470,667 in 1895. Fish, wood. leather and tobacco also were extensively import- ed. Most of the rice imported is supplied by the British West Indies, Germany and Spain. Coffee and sugar, the leading products of the i:land, are the important factors in Porto Rico's trade, comprising in value fully 85 per cent of all the merchandise sent to foreign markets. Other agricul ral products exported quite extensively are maize, hides, fruits, nuts and distilled spirits. Most of the sugar and molasses {s ies- tined for the United States, with Spain a second customer. Spain and Cuba receiv most of the tobacco, the trade with the United States not being large. Ser Gitte as BEHIND OTHER COUNTRIES. the Free Delivery System. The extension of the rural free delivery postal service authorized by the last Con- gress is being pushed forward as rapidly as able galley accommocations, conforming to the United States requirements as to space and ventilation, for the enlisted men. The United States government will deliver the prisoners on board at Santiago. “Proposals to state the per capita price for transporting officers and for transport- ing enlisted men and for their subsistence and delivering them on shore at the Span- ish port. Subsistence to be equal to United States army ‘garrison’ rations, as follows: “One thousand complete rations— ‘ Pounds Meat— Net Weight. Pork, 1.10. .

Ree > | “Needed transpertation as above speci- fied to report to the chief quartermaster at Santiago between July 30 and August 10, 1898. “Payment will be made when evidence that the prisoners have been delivered is presented to this office. “Proposals should be addressed to Colonel Frank J. Hecker, care depot quartermaster, United States Army building, New York city, and will be opened at 11 o'clock a.m. July 20, 1898." In anticipation of the heavy demands upon the War Department in the matter of transportation Secretary Alger has cre- ated a new bureau to take charge o: that subject alone. This will be known as the bureau of transportation, and will be di- rected by Colonel Hecker, who has, in the short time he has been at the War Depart- ment, proved his executive abilities. His chief assistant will be Colonel Bird of the circumstances will permit. The first as- sistant pcstmaster general is endeavoring to distribute the additional appropriation authorized by Congress among those states and territories where the existing facilities for the distribution of the mails by free delivery are the poorest. With this end in view he has had a tabular statement pre- pared showing the population of the differ- ent states served with free delivery under existing laws, and the number of people in each state who receive no free delivery at all. These tables show that the following number of persons are now absolutely without free delivery of mails (except where furnished in spots by the experi- mental rural.free delivery service): Alabama, 1,408,205; Arkansas, 1,060,428; California, 658,904; Colorado, 261,1!

Reports obtained by the first assistant postmaster general from foreign countries discloses that in every leading country forming part of the Universal Postal Union, except the United States, the mails are de- livered at the residences of every address either with some slight charge for addition- al tage, or at the ordinary postage rates. The Unit States and the South and Cen- tral Ame: states stand alone in requir- ing the patrons of send for their mails.
