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 *md marched across our line in the road and thence to the place for camping them.

HANGIN 3 BY fl STRAP Found in a Closet at the Imper ial Theater He was Saved. 1 " •" Atlanta July 20—Last night a United States so dier was foi d I hanging by the neck and uncot scious in a clcset at the Imperial theater. Officers Kitchens and Dorsey cut downjwhat they sup posed at the time to be the dead body of a suicide but an investi gation showed that life was not quite extinct. The Grady hospital ambulance *as summoned and the soldier taken where hard work by the physicians saved his life . He refused flatly to give his name, merely writing on a piece of paper that he had enlisted in the army from Minnesota. When found the would bt saicide was hanging by a leather strap, one «n 1 of which was tied co a water pipe and the other around his neck. He had gone into the closet alone and hung him* self with the strap. a 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. — 1 ■ ■ *rA.V». 1-2' “LIEUT” C. H. SMITH.

Smith (Bill Arp), of Car tersville, and is well and favorably known in *his city. His fr.ends extend congratulations —Carters ville News. Misses Dora and Sallie Haney, of Childersburg, Ala., are the 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.
