The Victorious Army Found
Affairs Deplorable.
Santiago de Cuba, July 18,
via Kingston, Jamaica, July 20.
—The events proceeding the
hoisting of the American flag
over the governor’s palace here,
amid the booming bi guns, the
strains of martial music and the
wild cheering of 20,000 men
along seven miles of entrench
ments were full of interests.
Shortly after 6 o’clock on Mon
day morning Lieut. Crook, of
Gen. Shafter’s staff, entered the
the city and all the arms in the
the arsenal were turned
over to him. The work of remov
ing the mines which obstructed
navigation at the entrance ot the
harbor had been progressing all
night.
At about 7 o’clock Gen. Toral,
the Spanish commander, sent
his sword to Gen. Shafter as evi
dence of his submission, and at
8 :45 a. m. the general
and their s affs assembled at
Gen. Shafter’s headquarters.
Each regiment was drawn up
along the heights.
Gen. Shafter and his generals
with mounted escorts of 100
picked men of the Second caval
ry then rode over our trenches to
the open ground at the foot of
the hill on the nr i t road to San
tiago, midway to the then de
serted Spanish forts. There they
were met by Gen, Toral and his
staif, all in full uniform and
mounted, and a select detach
ment of Spanish troops. What
followed took place in full view
of our troops.
The scene was picturesque and
dramatic. Gen. Shafter, with his
generals and staffs grouped im
mediately in the rear, and with
the troops of cavalrymen with
drawn sabers on the left, advanc
ed to meet the vanquished foe.
toral’s sword returned.
After a few words qf courteous
greeting Gen. Shafter’s first act
was to return Gen. Toral’s sword.
The Spanish general appeared to
to be touched by tue complimen
tary words with which Gen.
Shafter accompanied this action,
and he thanked the American
commander feelingly.
Then followed a short conver
sation as to the place selected
for tbe Spanish forces to deposit
their arms, and a Spanish in
fantry detachment, manched for
ward to a position facing our
cavalry, where the Spaniards
were halted The latter were
without their colors.
Eight Spanish trumpeters
then saluted, and were saluted
in r t.i n by our trmpeters, both
giving flourishes for lieutenant
g morals and major generals.
Gen. Toral then personally or
dered the Spanish company,
which in miniature represented
the forces under his command,
to ground arms. Next,.by his
directions, the company wheeled

He refused flatly to give his

paper that he had enlisted in the
army from Minnesota.

strap, one «n 1 of which was tied
co a water pipe and the other
around his neck. He had gone into

It is supposed the young man
had been drinking and that Hie
determination to kill himself came
in a moment of despondency.
He is ab >ut twenty-five years of
age and has a light mustache. For
more than an hour it was merely
a toss up whether he would ever
again hear a bugle call. After he
was conscious he could not talk
on account of tbe injury dme his
throat by the tight strap. He will
be all right again tlrs morning.

“LIEUT” C. H. SMITH.
Another Rome Boy Lands in Good

Mr. t harles H. Smith, one of
Rome s handsomest and most pop

ed a lieutenant in the Third Regi
ment U. S. V. Engineers The reg
iment will be moblized at St.

The appointment of Mr, Smith
is one of the bast that could have
been made in this section as he is
a skilled civil engineer and expert
eclectrician —Rome Tribune.
Mr. Smith is a grandson of Msj
C.iH. Smith (Bill Arp), of Car

known in *his city. His fr.ends
extend congratulations —Carters

Misses Dora and Sallie Haney,

guests of Miss Laura Hume on
“Tower Hill.”
Spaniards moved rapidly to the
quick notes of the Spanish
march played by the trumpeters,
but it impressed one like the
dead march from “Saul.”
Although no attempt was
made to humiliate them, the
Spanish soldiers seemed to feel
their disgrace keenly and scarce
ly glanc.d at their conquerors as
they passed by.
But this apparent depth of
feeling was not displayed by the
ther regiments. Without being
sullen, the Spaniards appeared
to be utterly indifferent to the
reverses suffered by the Spanish
truis, and some of them, when
not under the eyes o' their offi
cers, seemed to rejoice at the
prospect of good food and au
immediate return to Spain.
