' 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The expedition is arranged, and every detail prepared for embarking, with the sole exception as to- what troops will be withdrawn from Banti* ago.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 A large part at least of our troops now in Cuba will be withdrawn after Santiago sur renders.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.

JT*'-J? cMMsmsMsee ■ 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 tal.

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 News.

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.

MW YORK. 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.
