FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SPANIARDS LAY DOWN T AT G "Eleven Thousand Men Bow to the Terms of Ge Surrender. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Gor- don Bennett. GUANTANAMO, Aug. 8 (via Santi- ago de Cuba, Aug. 9.)—Final arrange- ments for the surrender of Guanta- namo were completed to-day, when the Spanish regulars under General Pareio were ordered to withdraw from the blockhouses along the trocha and de- liver over their arms to Brigadier Gen- eral Ewers, the military Governor of the town. The trenches at Caimanera and blockhouses along the rallway were evacuated by the Spaniards quietly. The town of Guantanamo was thronged with troops, and some excitement was caused by the constant arrival of small details of soldiers from outlying posts. There were no formalities and few in- cidents to mark the proceedings. Span- ish colonels, with pale, thin and pinch- ed faces, marched through the streets to the regimental barracks, apparently glad of the opportunity to pile their arms on the parade grounds and leave | Cuba for Spain. When all the details are gathered in more than 6000 regular troops will formally surrender their arms and equipment in accordance with General Toral’s agreement. There was a sensational rumor in town last night that the Spanish officers had determined to resist the disarmament and refused to recognize Toral's au- thority to concede their surrender. This was reported to General ,Ewers, who was told the Spaniards had planned to seize the town and attack Caiman- era, where two companies of the Sec- ond Immunes had been landed. The Cubans in town were credulous as usual and gave wide circulation to the report, which caused much alarm. Gen- eral Ewers called on General Parejo and informed him what he had heard. General Ewers, although he did not be- lieve the report, said he thought it his duty to inform the Spanish command- | General Parejo gave strong assur- | er. ances of the absolute inaccuracy of the report. The Spanish officers, he said, were dissatisfied because Guantanamo was included In would loyally carry out its terms. One of th acts of General Ewers when he demanded the surrender on July 256 was to ask for the immediate disarmament of the guerrillas and vol- untee: This demand was complied with. He found at Guantanamo 2,000,- 000 rounds of ammunition and 6000 rifles. General Ewers’ act in demand- ing the surrender of-Guantanamo was one of the best examples of heroism in the war. He was landed above Cai- manera from the steamer Saratoga and | proceeded by rail to Guantanamo and there, face to face with 11,000 Spanish troops, demanded their capitulation in accordance with the terms of Generel Toral's agreement. He immediately took possession of the Government houses and issued a proclamation de- siring the people to return to thelr or- dinary business. ing sugar plantations to ascertain the condition of affairs and informed their owners that measures would be taken | to protect their property. The public prison was found to contain fourteen political prisoners, who were confined under long sentences for trivial offen- | ses. These were released. The cases of those charged with criminal offenses will be inquired into. '] Probably the most important task | Guantanam the surrender, but | He visited neighbor- | HEIR ARMS UANTANAMO neral Toral’s | was the visit of General Ewers to the { camp of Pedro y Perez, who is in com- | mand of the local insurgent forces. | General Ewers pointed out to Perez the advisability 6f confining his troops to their hillside camp on the Union sugar estate until final evacuation by | the Spanish troops. Perez acquiesced | and at once issued orders that his men | abstain from entering the town. If an | offender is caught he will be tried by | court-martial, and if found guilty be | shot. | The local civil government is retained |in office. Provisions are scarce. There | is a great deal of sickness and great mortality among the Spanish troops. | Three cases of yellow fever are re- | ported. Two companies—L and I, Second Im- munes—under command of Major M. N. Boutner, on arriving at Caimanera | from Santiago on the steamer San | Juan, were transported to town by | train this morning. Lieutenant James Stafford, one sergeant, two corporals | and twelve men of Company L left | Caimanera and formed a camp in the old Spanish intrenchments on the crest | of the ridge south of the town, one com- pany going to camp on the hillside | near Guantanamo. A small guard will | be kept in the town itself and details :'scallered through neighboring plan- | tations. General Ewers has asked | General Shafter to establish a tri- | weekly steamer service between Guan- tanamo and Santiago. I visited General Perez’'s insurgent camp four miles from Guantanamo this morning. He has 900 men occupying an old sugar estate, and 5000 men under | his immediate command. His division |includes Yateres, Maysi, Baracoa, Sagua and Guantanamo. When asked | his views as to the present position of the Cuban situation he said: “The last order transmitted by Gen- | eral Garcia included instructions from the Provisional Government to co- operate with the American army and | to put myself entirely under the orders of the American general commanding in my vicinity. In sending these in- structions General Garcia wrote me that I was to follow American orders, even if they opposed his own. On this I am now acting. General Ewers has | ordered me to keep my troops outside | of town and I obey. I see reason for such an order and I obey it cheerfully, I am in entire accord with General Ewers in all matters regarding the gen- eral situation. I have heard of a dis- pute between Generals Shafter and | Garcia, but cannot enter into it. I am| only a soldier; I carry out the orders | given me and do not enter into politi- | cal matters. If our independence is not | secured now I am willing to continue the fight for another thirty years if| necessary. “The Cuban army has not fought for | annexation or for American control of | our affairs. Our fight has been for in- | dependence and the army will not be | | satisfied with anything else. If an- | nexation had been wanted it might t{ have been had years ago. I beMeve that even without American interven- tion we could have forced Spain to| give us independence in another year. We were getting stronger every day, while the Spaniards were getting weaker. We had forced them from the | country and would have soon driven | them out of the towns. I can now re- main here waiting for devolopments | and orders.” The Cuban flag waves over Fort | KIRKLAND HAS A CHANCE FOR LIFE Subjected to a Delicate Operation. INCISION OF THE ABDOMEN DR. W. E.

Taylor of San Francisco, who {s a retired medi- cal inspector in the navy, came up on a special trip of the tug Vigilant to Mare Island to-day to consult with the surgeons of the yard in regard to the condition of Rear Admiral Kirkland, Dr. Taylor examined the patient company with Drs, Bradley, Bagg and Curl of the Naval Hospital, Dr. Wagg- ner of the navy yard and Dr. Hibbetts of the Independence. The surgeonsagreed that the admiral was suffering from acute constriction of the bowels, and that unless quickly relieved death would result. An operation on the ab- dominal section was decided upon as the only means of saving the patient. Dr. Taylor performed the operation, making an incision in the abdomen and relieving the constriction by straighten- ing a loop that had caused the trouble. The operation was successful, and Dr. Taylor states that Admiral Kirkland has at least an even chance of recovery. He has a splendid physique, and if no complications set In will be able to re- sume his duties in a few weeks. ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ was the first maker of sticks of soap for shav- ing.

Lives of Inhhbbitants Imperiled ty Quantities of Dynamite in the Railway Company Sheds. Special Dispatch to The Call, SEATTLE, Aug. 9—The steamer Farallon, which arrtved on the BSound to-night from Lynn Canal, brings the news of a serious conflagration raging at Skaguay. The steamer sailed from there last Thursday, at which time, Captain Roberts states, there was a strong probability of the total destruc- tion of the young city. In the vicinity of Skaguay brush fires had been raging and it is supposed that sparks ignited some of the shacks on the outskirts of the town. A high wind | soon fanned the flames into a vast con- flagration. When the Farallon sailed | nearly twenty houses were in a blaze, lwith the fire quickly spreading over | the more densely settled section. The rallroad company had huge quantiting of dynamite stored in several sheds, and it was feared that ere it could be removed a terrific explosion would re- sult. The volunteer fire brigade was doing good work, but the citizens generally appeared to be panic stricken and ren- dered but little aid. They rushed hither and thither, fighting the fire in an gim- less and Ineffectual sort of way. Just before Captain Roberts' steamer sailed he was informed by a messenger that the city was doomed, as the frame buildings were like tinderwood, while the fire fighting apparatus was of the crudest. The dynamite was stored near the burning buildings and in almost mo- mentary danger. Every one seemed to fear taking the initiative to remove the explosives. A much longer delay upon the part of the excited citizens would in all probability have meant the total destruction of the buildings of Skagyay. However, Captain Roberts believes that the fire might have been got under con- trol and”loss of life averted. —_— When All Others Fail To stop itching scalp, dandruff and fall- ing hair use Smith’s Dandruft Pomade, }:xe osnly x:l»osm\n: rfemedy; never falls; try .

Purser of the Farallon Certain This Amount Is on Board—Several Californians Meet With Success. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Aug. 9.—SIxty more gold- seeker“any of whom found comfort- able foMunes in the frozen fields of the north, returned to the Sound to-night on the steamer Farallon with their troasure. They steamed up the rivers and c: .e out over the pass to Skaguay. A conservative estimate of the value of gold dust and drafts brought out is placed at half a mil- lion dollars. Many of the returning Klondikers who were interviewed placed the amount at between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Most of the miners, how- ever, were reticent as to the value of their fortunes. Many ure old-timers, who have spent several years prospect- ing and finally panning out wealth. Among the passengers were the fol- lowing, most of whom admitted hav- ing in their possession the amounts set forth: Henry Abbott, Sacramento, $100,000- J. C. Chabbott, Seattle, $30,000; Reuben Brown, Whatcom, Wash., $25,- 000; John Lysons, Santa Rosa, Cal, $20.000; T. D. McKeller, Whatcom, $15,- 000; A. Parker, St. Paut, $15,000; John Creits, Seattle, $5000; W. W. Gibbs, Nanaimo, B. C., $25,000; Wilkinson, Na- naimo, $15,000: Rendall, Nanaimo, $15,- 000; Duffy, Nanaimo, $10,000;. Riley, Nanaimo, $6000; Dixon, Nanaimo, $5000. Nearly every miner on the boat brought out some gold, the amounts varying from $2000 to $100,000. It is im- possible to get anything like a true es- timate of the individual amounts. Henry Abbott of California had a sack of the yellow metal which took two men to pack it on the steamer at Skaguay. Most of the men seemed well satisfled with their year's work. They came out in two parties, one leav- ine Dawson July 23 on the Ora, and the other three da later on the Willie Irving. Mr. ‘MacGregor, royalties in the Klondike, came down on the latter boat, but his baggage had not arrived when he reached Skaguay, | and he remained there. | Nearly all have a gloomy story to tell | in regard to the action of the Canadian | officials in the gold district. Mr. Lysons | of Santa Rosa says that while the| country is undoubtedlv the richest the world ever saw, it will never be prop- erly develoned until the obnoxious reg- ulations are changed. Many miners, he | says, are leaving the Klondike and go- ing to the American side, and absolute- 1y refuse to develop their claims un- der existing conditions. Lysons held a rich bench claim, also No. 5, on El Dorado Creek or just op= posite Berry's claim. Several days be- fore he left Dawson he saw a nugget valued at $600 picked up on one of the latter’s claims. Lysons is authority for the statement that Major Walsh had made all preparations to come out on the Irving, but changed his mind at the last moment. ‘“‘He Is not too popu- lar now, up there,” said Lysons, “ow- Ing to the crookedness of his officials, and I don’t think the country will suffer when the whole gang leaves. Now, for instance, I might locate a claim to-day, and Fawcett, the gold commissioner, would come along to-morrow and take it from me on some legal point. It would then be handed over to another ]man. I have seen this done repeated- y." Reuben Brown was at Circle when the first strike was made in Dawson and got there early. He had a bench claim opposite No. 7 on Bonanza, and cleared up $30,000 with his partner. His brother David joined him last fall. On the trip down from Skagway gambling for high stakes was in progress, but there were no sharks in the game. A Nanaimo man s said to have lost $3000 to an American in one sitting. Purser Cochrane had about $150,000 in his care .n the trip out. He said: “I am positive there was over a muilion dollars brought down in gold and drafts. I talked with most of the pas- sengers and my estimate I think is most conservative. Some of them told | | me that a richer crowd yet was com- ing out, and would be on the Sound within two weeks.” Captain Roberts’ estimate was rather higher than that of the purser. Said he: “I think there was two or two and a quarter millions on board. W. W. Gibbs of Nanaimo, who went in three years ago, had the largest amount. One night the men were play- ing poker coming down on the boat and I saw Gibbs’ drafts, some for $50,- 000 and one or two for $100,000 each. He should have $250,000 in drafts at ]deast, besldes a few thousand in gold ust.” A party consisting of Dayid Brown, . D. Brown and T. D, McKellar of ‘Whatcom, were among the passengers. Reuben Brown, who has been in Alaska thiee years, owned a bench claim on Bonanza Creek opposite No. 7. On his bench claim he cleared $30,000, and af- ter paying wages, royalty, etc., had $12,000 or $13,000 remaining which he brought out. David Brown, who has been in there one year, had a $i0,000 lay on El Dorado with McKellar. They believed there was between $500 040 and $800,000 in gold on board the Faral- lon. John Creits of Seattle went north a year ago. He has a bench claim on Bonanza Creek and holds his property at $30,000. He only brought out a few thousand dollars, but intends to go back again. His general opinion of the gold flelds is very optimistic. A. Parker of St. Paul says that the French Gulch bench property is claim- ing a good deal of attention and will probably make a good showing. The year’s output at Dawson, he belleved, will be$10,000,000 from the latest figures, but Dominion and Hunker creeks will not show up for what they are really worth until after they are more thor- oughly worked and prospected this winter. Two well-known Nanaimo miners named Keiffer and Gibbs are credited with $10,000 apiece in dust, and Gibbs is also credited with having many drafts, as referred to by the captain. Another source says Gibbs brou~ht out be- tween $25.000 and $30,000. Thev were in the country about a vear and a half. Keiffer says the Hunker Creek washout will be very large before it is com- pleted. Freightcar Robber Captured.

Jose are disappointed in the pr ‘The people of San nt City Council. When it was elected a ‘‘business administration’” was promised the muni- cipality. This the people are not getting, and the Councilmen are rapidly falling into the ways of their predecessors. It Is evident that “Boss” Rea _dictates his| wishes to them and that his word is law. This is plainly shown by the action of the Street Committee—Spring (chairman), Rogers and Macauley—during the past two weeks. When it lay within their power to save the city some money in the purchase of broken rock for street pur-| poses they postponed the matter for two weeks and then threw the bids out alto- gether. This action was taken because George W. Peckham, who is opposed to Rea’s political methods, was the lowest bidder. Heretofore Charles Wehner, who 3 s the Gay quarry, in which Rea o oihe Srs. nterested, has i and other ringsters are 1 had things all his own way and broken | rock has been bought from him at his wn price.

This was two weeks ago yesterday.

Besides, Peckham was an active member of the | | New Charter Club, and here was a chance unish a political opponent. a reasons glven for rejecting the bids | are ludicrous. ~ On July 1I, 188, the same identical notice was published, calling for 500 yards of broken rock, and the Frpsent Council awarded the contract to Charles Wehner at $1 68 per yard. That is 4l cents per yard higher than Peckham's bid. The specifications of the advertise- ment were definite enough then for Chair- man Spring and his colleagues, and, now that they have had a chance to save the | city 4% cents & vard on some rock, the people are wondering why the bids were cted. . % vears the city has paid more for| to or its broken rock for street purposes than | it should. he bids of Wehner and| Peckham, presented two weeks ago, will demonstrate this.

TRAMPS [N A CAR OF BLAZING OIL Were Trying to Light a Cigarette. THE MEN TERRIBLY BURNED Special Dispatch to The Call. TRUCKEE, Aug. 9.—Three men seri- ously burned, 1800 feet of snowshed consumed, eleven cars of merchandise destroyed and delay of all passenger trains until to-morrow noon—all this and more was the price paid for light- ing a cigarette. Three tramps got into a car at Love- locks last night. The car contained two tanks of naphtha and left Truckee at 2 o'clock this afternoon on freight train No, 6. About 3 o’clock, when a mile and a half west of tunnel 13, the train- men in the caboose saw the three tramps, enveloped in flames by the side of the track in the snowsheds. They were screaming “Fire!" and when the train was stopped it was discovered that the car was a mass of flames. In a few moments the naphtha car exploded, lifting the roof of the shed a gundred feet in the air and blowing the sides far down toward Donner Lake. There was a second explosion in a few moments, more terrific than the first, caused by a car o refined oil. Conductor’schwub and his crew took charge of tfe burning tramps and did all in their power to alleviate their in- tense suffering. In a short time a Truckee wrecking train came to tun- nel 13 and the engine brought down the three rear cars and caboose of the burning train. The tramps were cared for by Dr, David Shoemaker as carefully and ten- derly as thought they were million- aires, George Scheile, a German, in- ‘haled the burning gases and is in a critical condition, His face, hands and feet are charred dreadfully. Joe Reich- umth, a Swede, and John Goheneix, a Frenchman, are awfully burned about the head and hands, but will recover. One of the men admittex to the con- ductor that he struck a match to light a cigarette. The other two were lying asleep on the bottom of the 31- Pry- ing open the side door they jumped from the moving train. Trainmaster T. G. Akers, with fire trains from Truckee and Summit, made a herofc fight to subdue the flames in the snowsheds and had the fire under control at 7 o'clock.
