the Boom of Canaoa
Washihgtox, July 18—The Spaa
i.K flag was taken down yesterday at
noon and the stars and stripes are
now floating io triumph over the gov
ernor’s palace at Santiago de Cuba.
The war department posted tha fol
lowing late yesterday afternoon:
“Santiago de Cuba, —Adjutant
General United States Army, Wash
ington, Dr C—l have the honor to
announce that the American lag has
been this instant, 12 noon, hoisted
over the bouse of the civil government'
in the city of Santiago. An immense
concourse of people preseat. A squad
of cavalry and a regiment of infantry
presenting arms and hand ' playing
national airs. Light battery fired
salute of twenty one guns. Perfect
order is being maintained by munici* 1
pal government
“Distresa-is very great; but little
eicktress in town. Scarcely any yel
low fever. A small gunboat and about
200 seamen loft by Cervera have sur
rendered to me. Obstructions are be- 1
ing removed from mouth of harbor.
“Upon coming into the city I dis
covered a perfect entanglement of
defenses. Fighting as the Spaniards 1
did the list day it would have cost
5,000 lives to have taken it. Battal
ions of Spanish troops have beea de
positing arms since daylight in armory,
over whieb I have guard. General
Torsi formally surrendered the plats
and all stores at 9 a. m
W. R Smaeteb, Major General ” ;j
It was an impressive scene when
the Spanish troops laid down their
arms between'lhe Spanish and Amer- '
loan troops at 9 o’clock yesterday
morning. General Shafter sad the
American aivisiou and brigand com- 1
menders aud their staffs were escorted '
by a troop of cavalry and General 1
* Torsi and hie staff by 100 men.
General Toral banded hie sword to
General Shafter, who immediately af
ter accepting it, returned it the Span*
ish general. Lined up at the trenches, <
our soldiers were interested witnesses 1
of theceremony. 1
General Shafter and bls escort, ao- 1
companied by General Toral, then -
rode through the city, taking formal (
possession. 1
As the chimes of the calhedn l rang 1
out the hour cf twelve the Infantry ]
and cavalry presented arms. Every 1
American uncovered his head and 1
Captain McKittrick hoisted the stars 1
and stripes. 1
As the brilliant folds unfurled in a
gentle breeze against a leckless sky !
the cavalry band broke into the strains
of “The Star Spangled Banner,” mak
ing the American pulse leap and the
American heart thrill with joy.
At the same instant the sound of
the distant booming of Captain Cap
ron's battery, firing a salute of twenty,
one guns, drifted in When the music
ceased, from all directions around our :
line came floating across the plaza the
strains of the regimental bands and
the muffled hoarse cheers of our men.
The infantry came out to “order arms’*
a moment latter, alter the flag was up
and the band played “Bally ’Round
the Flag Boys.”
Instantly General McKibben called
for three cheers for Genera! Shafter,
which were given with great enthusi
asm, the band pleying “The Stars and
Stripes Forever.” The ceremony over,
General Shifter and 'llia staff returned
to the American lines, leariog tbe city
in the possession of ths municipal
authorities, subject to the control of
Geperai McJCibbin, who has been ap
pointed temporary military governor.

reports that bis army is now ready,

parture of the larger part of the ex

expected to consist of a bin I 25,000

'insufficient force and then being
obliged to lie idle at a critical moment

The plane for sending Commodore
Watson’s eastern squadron to Spain
have reached a point where naval
officials are considering the exact day
of departure, and it is said that posi
tive orders have been given that prep
arations must to a close at
once with a view to having everything

Camp Dots.
Now that most of the men at Camp
Northen have received their nnifmffils,
they have the appearance of
diers and a fine lot of men, too. They
have little trouble iu being fitted with
a neat suit from the quartermasters
department and few alterations are
necessary.
There are now about twe hundred
men in camp who have not been tnus
tered in. Most of these are minors
who Col. Candler will not accept until
they have gained the written consent
of their parents. Others are only
waiting for the necessary papers.
There i« little work for the soldiers
new. They drill four boars each day,
have guard mount iu the afternoonn
and there is liitU else to eeeupy their
time.

The Great Incohonee
Great Incohonee R, T. Daniel re
oeoily made a visit to the Rod Men of
Wilmington, N. C , and by bio match
less oratory and magnetic peroohality
completely captured the eity—both
pale laces and Rsd Men. He was roy
ally entertained by the citizens ai that
place, and “wined and dined” by the
Cherokee Tribe. In the evening be
delivered an address upon the order ®f
Red Men at the Y M C. A.
The Wilmington Messenger in re
ferring to Judge Daniels’ speech said:
“Judge Daniele’ speech was one of
sterling purity and eloquence. It was
really picturesque and defies accorate
description by pen or tongue His
fascinating, perfect diction coupled
with a clear, well modulated voice and
easy posture of body and graceful ges
tures, made truly a great oration, and
one that was listened attentively to
and frequently 'interrupted by hearty
applause of admiration and approval.
“The silver tongue orator prefaced
his address by remarking upon the
open hospitality of the citizens, and
the progress, enterprise and thrift
which had noted among them.
Scattered throughout the city Le had
observed many monuments to the fact
that the principles of the Red Men had
been disseminated in thia seetion.
These monuments, which were in the
shape of splendid churches and com
modiooe school buildings, marked re
ligion, education and industry, which
is closely linked with the peerleu mot
to of the Red Men—freedom, friend
ship and charity. * ’ » .*
“Judgd Daniel is a prominent lawyer
of Georgia. He is small in stature,
with a rather handsome face, the feat
ures of which denote resolution. Ho
possesses a clear musical voice, is a
master of the English language, and
has a peculiar knack of moking him
solf very ontortaining and at all timer
understood.”

A Famous Lecture
A lecture which has created much
enthusiasm wherever it has beau de
livered is that of President E. Benja
min Andrews, of Brown University.
This distinguished lecturer and edu
cator will speak before a southern au
dience for the second time during the
big Confederate reunion in Atlanta. '
That one of the most splendid eu
logies ever pronounced on the cbarac-.
ter of the general of the Confederate
armies sbeuld come from a northern
man, and the president of one of the
most famous of northern universities,
is evidence that the mists of the past
which prevented the people of one
section from a clear discernment of
the eharacter of tbe civil war heroes of
the other section, are rapidly rolling
sway.
Prof. Andrews has made a thorough
study of the characteristics and career
of Robert E Lse, and Cow m»n have
ever described tbe groat hero more
completely. His recital of Loo’e mili
tary achievements and his tribute to
Lee, the soldier, are remarkably stroag
end.eloquent.
Prof. Andrews declares that we may
find in history no nvaa who combined
the great juelilies which shine forth
in Robert E Lee. Tbe estimate of Lee.
which Pref. Andiews gives in his lec
ture,high as it is, is that which the civ
ilized world has scceptrd and which
history will record.
Let every Confederate soldier who
still loves and honors tbo memory of
Lee hear Ibis grand lecture.
THE HCHIENCE M SttßF SF MS
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 Syrup
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 manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other
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 to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acta on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing then), and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to got its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
i . the Company—
