Washington, Jal y 14— The xdju
tent general received this afternoon
the following from Playa:
“Adjutant General, Wethington—
Have just returned from interview
with Gen. Tcral. He agrees to cor
render under the basis of being re
turned to Spain. Thia proposition em
braces all of eastern Cuba from Asser
adores on the south to Sague on the
north, via Palma, with practically the
Fourth army corps. Commissioners
meet this afternoon at 2 :30 to defi
nitely arrange the terms.
•‘W. B. Shafm®, Maj Gen.”
Adjutant General Corbin announced
that Santiago bad surrendered soon
after General Shafter’s dispatch was
received, the telegram showing that
the Spaniards bad agreed to our terms.
Only the details now remain to be
adjusted.
The war department has notified
General Shafter that bis plans are ap
proved so far as they have been made
known, and are the result of orders,
inclnding the shipment of the Spanish
troops tq Spain.
The statement that the Spanish
proposition embraces all eastern Cob*
from Asoerraderos to Sagna is im*
portant in tiat it shows the surrender
to embrace all the harbor and conta
gious territory of Santiago.
The Spanish forcdb involved in ths
capitulation at Santiago will not be
taken back to Spain in American ves
sels unleM there is an official pledge
for the safety of our craft and crews.
Secretary Alger has no hesitancy in
saying today that he donbted if Spain
wanted the prisoners brought back
there, and said that if transported in
our own vessels and without some
agreement with thsSpsnish represen
tatives Spain would net refrain from
seising them.
Now that Santiago baa fallen, the
army and navy will begin their attack
upon Porto Rico, and Gen. Brooke has
been ordered to Washington to get
final orders and instructions regarding
the invasion.
The expedition is arranged, and
every detail prepared for embarking,
with the sole exception as to- what
troops will be withdrawn from Banti*
ago.
The troops will leave Tampa within
one week after Santiago falls, it ie said
authoritatively this morning at the
war department.
No more troops will be sent to Cuba
save two regiments of immunea from
New Orleans and Galveston. A large
part at least of our troops now in Cuba
will be withdrawn after Santiago sur
renders.
A dispatch from Victoria, B. C.,
says: Steamer Warrimoo, just ar
rived from Honolulu, reports that
General Wesley Merritt has arrived at
Honolulu on his way to Manila.
The City of Para arrived at Hono
lulu July 5. The Morgan City and
Indiana were scheduled that evening.
The Monterey and collier Brutus
left Honolulu for Manila July let.
The Monadnock, with the collier
Nero, arrived at Honolulu July S. Tbo
Nero’s repairs to her machinery will
delay her there six or seven days.'
The Nero was in first class shape.
The Monaduock made the trip alone
and bad a hundred tons of coal left.
She averaged ton knots the whole dis
tance.

A Washington apecill to the New
Yosk Tribune any*:
The actual departure of Commodore
Watson’s raiding squadron for the
coast of Spain,which the naval author
itios expset will occur about the end
of the present weekjndicatreapffieient
ly the complete abandonment of any
intention to besiege Havana in the
next three or four months, and con
firm* the impression that do extended
military opera lions will be prosecuted
in Cuba biter the capitulation of San
tiago.
Th* remarkable difficulties which
have attended tbe investment of San
tiago and the resulting tedious delays
have served to convince the military
and naval authorities that Havanacan
not be attacked successfully with less
than 100,000 men and the entire naval
force in'the Atlantic,
Tbe city, ordinarily one of tbe beet
fortified ports in the world, has been
made much more impregnable in the
last t«ro months through the ceaseless
activity of Gen. Blanco, who has sur
rounded it with several chains of strong
intrencbments and fortifications,in ad
dition to the batteries he has mounted
along the coast.
Without the strong vessels attached
to the raiding squadron the navy
would bo powerless to render effective
assistance to the army against Havana
and it is deemed impossible that land
forces alone could secure the surrend
er of the oily with less than several
months’ campaign, Which would be
out of tbe question before mid-winter
on account of the horrible climatic
conditions.
Promptly upon the fall of Santiago,
it is announced, the expedition to
Porto Bico is to be undertaken, with
General Miles in command of three
divisions, aggregating more than 10,*
000 men.
He will have the co-operation of Ad
miral Sampson’s heavier ships in the
assault on'Ban Juan arid it is bis in
tention to clear the entire island of
Spanish troops with every energy at
command. His force will include
practically all the regular and volun
teer troops now at Santiago,the Cubans
and immunea being left to bold that
province. -
In addition to tbe flset of 48 trans*
porta already secured to carry troops
to Porto Bico, including tbe 30 that
formed Gen, Shafter's main expedition,
the navy has consented to tbe tempo*
rary use of the auxiliary cruisers St,
Paul, the St. Louib, tbe Yale and tbe
Harvard to carry regiments and tbe
other vessels will be available for the
service next week.
The World's Largest Locomotive-
Material has been ordered by tbe
Santa Fe for the largest locomotive
ever built. The engine has been de*
signed for mountain climbing, and it
is said that tbe big Player engines and
those built for the Santa Fe will be
but playthings when compared with
thio giant locomotive.
The engine will be built by tbe lo
comotive department of tbe Santa Fo
shops in this city. Among its features
will be a boiler built of one-inch boiler
steel and cylinders whose di mentions
will be 12x82 inches. It will have no
“pops,” as they will not be required.
No fireman living could be able to
build a fire that would create enough
steam to burst tbe boiler of this mogul.
The engine wifi have ten drivers, an<f
it is estimated that it will be able to
haul a third larger load than any en
gine the Santa Fe has.
It is not known just when this
greatest of moguls will be completed,
as tbo material for its construction has
just been ordered, but it will not be
until some time late in the samrner or
early in the fall.—Topeka Daily Capi

Germany Loss Offensive
Tbe tact that Germany has ordered
tbe equidroo away from Manila which
the sent there causes almoat as much
comment as did the appearance of the
squadron at that port. Why she sent
half a dosen warships there xt.a time
when their presence would osmo
Spain to believe that ebe meant to
question our right to taka pdsaes
eion of the Philippines has hot been
explained
In view ol the fact that her newspa
per press was extremely hostile to us,
the conclusion is permissible that the
sending of her warships to Manila was
not an act friendly to os. It is proba
ble that she intended to interfere in
some manner in our war with Spain,
not for tbe purpose of helping Spain,
but to gain a foothold in, and a share
of, the Philippines.
Wbat her intentions now are it is
impossible to say. It is noticeable,
however, that the tone of her newspa
pers is a little more friendly. Perhaps
the naval battle made an impresaion
upon her that led her to think that it
wouldn’t be advisable for her or any
other nation to undertake to prevent
us from carrying oqt our plans in re
spect to the Philippines. In fact, that
Santiago naval contest appears to have
made a profound impression in all
parts of Europe.
Tbe European governments sudden
ly awakened to the fact that the
United States have a navy that would
prove troublesome to any of them
which should attempt to test its quali
ties.
Even England thought it advisable
to inspect her ships and find out just
how many of them would be available
in a contest with our navy. She was
surprised to find that tbe number of
them that were out of date—practical
ly valueless —was extraordinarily
lakgo.
Germany may still be inclined to
wards a policy of interference in our
affair with Spain, bat if she is it is
hardly probable that she will adept it.
The performances of our navy at San
tiago and Manila are well calculated
to make her hesitate to change us from
a friend to an enemy.—Savannah

The Sunset of Life-
Old age is regarded by many people
as a period to be dreaded, says tbe
Marietta Journal. They do not want
to bo old, to act older look old. But
when the heart has besn kept youth
ful and gay, to glow old is only a mel
low setting of the glorious sunlight.
Old age is beautiful! Tbe grand old
sun that rose in the majesty of youth,
and shown in the splender of tbe
noonday, sinks to rest with even more
beautiful colors. It baa been softened
and toned until its last tints of tbe
golden hue are even more lovely than
those of the fair morning.
Yes, give to us tbe glory of old age,
crowned-with the wealth of sunshine,
wisdom and peace. It stands as a
beacon light to guide the coming
footsteps of youth.
But it should be tbe study of every
life to grow old gracefully. We should
grow old with our hearts full of lover
- charity and sympathy for those who
are passing the way wo have gone.
We should grew old uncomplain
ingly, unselfishly, calmly abiding the
Divine will, and enduring with pa
tience tbe afflictions that are laid upon
; us.
The influence of suob old age is
, wonderful. And just as tbe lovely
flowers require more attention and
better protection as age creeps on,
much more so do out loved ones. Shel
ter tbe older ones from tbo storms,
protect them with your love. Old ago
and youth should go bind in band—*
the one to guide, the ether to follow.
Aud while youth should show proper
respect, old age should set an exam
ple worthy to bo emulated.

Sable Island.
Sable Island, sixty miles south of
which the terrible disaster to the
steamer La Bourgogne took place last
Monday, when SOO lives were lost, has
■a morrf frightful record forxhipwrecks
than even the barren Anticosti in tbe
mouth of tbe St. Lawrence river, aotee
the Birmingham News. The island is
a mass of sand, twenty miles ia length
and oo» mile wide. At one time it
was 200 feet high. It is constantly
moving eastward, being what is known
ae a“traveling island.” Topographers
of the aea have much difficulty in
keeping track of it, since it changes
positions in less than a year’s time.
Dense fogs surround it much of tbe
time, and it is in the line of the ice
bergs and floese that come slowly
moving southward from Labrador and
the a/ctic region. Bo terrible is tbe
island itself io appearance and chore
liZe that the Canadian government
maintains there apecia’. light boules
for the protection of mariners. Great
sandbars surround tbe island, one on
the aarrewwe* end being seventeen
miles long. Bable Island ia tbe poiet
where the three great currents of tbe
Atlantic Ocean on the North 'Ameri
can Soest meet, the arctic cerrent
flowing southward, tbe gulf stream
passing northeastward and tbo current
from,the St. Lawrence. Their vary-,
ing mbods produce a state of affairs
dreadbi-by every mariner. The vis
oinity of Bable Island baa been the
scene of more than 100 shipwrecks
during tbe centpry.
THE HCELIMB OT SUUP «F Fits
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Bybvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and* original * remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is maitaf actured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given io millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
r of the excellence of its remedy. It is
, Yar in advance of all other laxatives,
as It acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating er weaken
