direction the president today ordered
ihe Twenty-Third Kansas regiment,
colored, to be dispatched to Santiago,
to form a part of the army of occupa

dered their services for this purpose,
and bud urged acceptance of the ten

agreed to today, after a conference
with Represen ative Curiia of Kansas.
It was decided also to send the Twen

Washington. Aug. I*.—Cervcr* will
not return so Hpaln for the present and
reports from Annapolis slating that h

said ks ihe navy department to lie due
to misapprehension. Tbe admiral made

prisoner to go home, as he has shows
n fatherly regard for all the officers
and men and apneara to be desirous of
seeing them on their way homeward
before he leave*.
The navy department has not taken
up the question of the Anal disposition
of the ffpanlah prisoners, although tt
has passed upon one or two special
cares in which e rcumstanees matin
speedy action advisable.
One of tht're was tho ease of Dr. Ju
reda, the venerahk Spanish naval sur
gfon. held with the ether Spanish pris
oners ai Annapolis. Jurada Is very
feeble end the department directed his
release and a Spanish chaplain will be
allowed to accompany him,

refuge for the Increased number of
wounded, sick women and children
who were within the cvalls.
The Fleet Moves.
No action occurred until the 13th.
Our fleet began to move in at 9 o’elock
on Saturday morning. Dewey's Olym
pia led the fighting line, aa of old.
The flag ship dlrertrd her fire at Ma
latcfort. The Raleigh, Petrel and Cal
lao also opened Arc on the fort, the
Boston, Baltimore, Charleston and
Monterey standing In as supports.
Most of the firing was done at a range
of from three thousand to four thous
and yards.
Infantry at Work.
Our infantry was seen a few minutes
later, moving forward upon the Span
ish intrenchroents. Their advance was
made under cover of a heavy fire from
the Utah battery.
With colors flying and bands playing
, the troops moved swiftly along the
beach. There was a creek to be ford
ed. They plunged into It and were
soon nernss. Once over they deployed
in skirmishing order along toward Ma
late, keeping up a heavy rifle fire and
finally halting on Runeta.
Found in a Church.
Flag Lieutenant Brumby went ashore
to discuss terms of capitulation with
Jandenes, whom he found in a church.
Subsequent proceedings regarding
terms were conducted in the municipal
buildings, the governor general con
senting to leave the church after a
brief cctiferenee. ,
The Surrender Terms.
The terms are briefly these:

Disgraceful.
The conduct of the Spaniards was
disgraceful after the capitulation. The
gunboat Cebu wan brought down the
river, with the Spanish flag flying, and
was set on fire at the mouth of the
Pasig. A party of Atnerieatfs boarded
her and hoisted (he Stars and Stripe*.
They tried fruitlessly to save three
lnunch«» and several boats, which were
also destroyed.
The insurgents, on August 14th, the
day f.fter the surrender, entered some
Spanith trenches on the outskirts, but
were repulsed.
Genets* Merritt notified them that
they will not be permitted to come in
side the city. It Is probable that the
Americans will now deal with the In
stil pent? unless an amicable arrange
ment is arrived at soon.
SUIYTER IS DRY.
For Sixty Years the Liquor Interest
Has Been Strong There.
Arotiicus, Ga., Aug. 18. Sumter
county went into the prohibition col
umn yesterday, after the hottest elec
tion ever witnessed here, and for the
first time In sixty year* red liquor is
turned down, and the county goes dry
by 88 votes.
The campaign has been red hot for
five weeks, and the registration was
the largest in years, more than 3,400
voters qualifying for the election.
Though rain poured all day, ladies
staid near the polls and encouraged
the voters for the prohibition side.
Many whiskey houses had agents here,
and nothing was left undone to carry
the day Tor whiskey. Eight county
precincts gave a plurality for prohibi
tion, and at the city precincts Ihe race
was very close in a vote of 1,200
There is no likelihood of a contest, as
the whiskey men concede defeat. The
white vote of the county was over
vihelmlngly for prohibition, while
many negroes likewi @ voted the dry
ticket. The victory was announced
by the ringing of church bells last
night, though the city is very quiet lo
day. and there is no excitement what
ever.
No Pay For Insurgents.
Washington, Aug. 18. Secretary
Alger and olher members of the cabi
j net took occasion to deny the reports
j current in Cuba of an agreement to
disband the Cuban Insurgents, and for
i the United States to pay them off. in
the interest of promoting peaceful con

CRAVE FEAR
FOR CUBANS
The President is Very Apprehensive
Tod*?.
He Is Holding Very Important Cm*
ft-rentes.
Kpet-lal to The Herald.
Wasti.ngton. Aug. 18. Riot tnur
>der and the destruction of property
are the Ir.o of public horror* which
President McKinley fear* for Havana
and oiher Cuban cities. Tbs m*-->sacra
' by the Spanish soldiery of upwards of
. 100 Porto Ricans has aroused hit anx
' iety. He a; once set the wires work
ing into General Miles' headquarters
to ascertain the tiuth. Nothing from
General Allies bearing on the subject
came during the day.
In Conference.
The president sent for General Alger
to eonfer with him on the advisability
of sending a heavy force of aoldicra to
Havana at onee.
General Alger advised agalnat it on
yellow fever and other grounds. He
also questioned the authenticity of the
i Porto Rico story. To this the pres
ident replied that whether the story
were true or not, It suggest* an em.-
nent probability. He recalled Wey
ler's assertion and later on the boast
of Blanco, (hat If the American* ever
frepd Cuba, they would find it "a waste
of ashes sown in salt."
What He Argued.
The president argued that the Span
ish soldier;’, naturally mutinous and
rebellious, arc humiliated and sore in
defeat. He fears they will break over
the nominal discipline that is main
tained and leave Cuba as their anceo
tors entered It on "a tide of blood
and In a cloud of smoke.” They have
no further responsibility In tho mat
ter. The soldiers themselves are the
constabulary and therein the president
reads the danger of the situation.
What He Thinks
Geo. Fltzhugh Lee takes the presi
dent's view of the case. He wcu!<b
gladly take orders to move the Seventh
army corps across the straits.
