Shaker Urges Removal of
American Troops.
Washington’ August 2—The
secretary of war has received
the following letter from Gen.
Shafter, transmitting the com
missioner’s report of th# surren
der of the Spanish triny ct San
tiogo:
“Camp Before Santiago, Cu
ba, July 18, 1898.—1 take the
liberty of sending to ycu this
morning a copy of the agree
ment between the commission
ers on my part and the
commissioners on the part of
the government of Spain for the
surrender of Eastern Cuba . Ihe
schedule just submitted shows
there to be a little over 22,000
men and officers —about 6,000
more men than I have had my
self; and I am glad to say that
we have got all these men with
very little loss of life, compared
to what it would have been bad
we to have fought them. The
city of Santiago is simply a net
work of fortifications at every
street cornel.
“I had no proper conception
of its strength until I went into
it, although 1 knew these old
stone towns were naturally very
strong. Everything is going ad
mirable, so far as to transferring
is concerned ; and the Spanish
troops are behaving well, as
they are perfectly delighted a'
the thoughts of getting home.
“1 send to you personally a
’egram of General Linares to
i government, which one ot
ne counsels gave me. It shows
ttie straits to which they were
put and the feelings that ani
mated them. lie stated tliec se
exactly, I did have him so sur
rounded that it was impossible
for him to get away ; and I
could wait an I he could not.
“I send you tomorrow morn
ing to receive something over
2,000 men up in rhe interior, a
short distance, aoout 30 miles,
an lin two or three days will
send to Guantanamo to receive
the 1,000 that have surrendered
there. They should be shipped
from Guantanamo bay direct to
Spain. There are also 800 men
each from Baracoa and Sagna de
Tanamo on the North coast, who
will come into the port for ship
ment. 1 will send an officer
around with a Spanish officer to
take their arms and military
supplies.
•‘We have got a great deal
more than I had any idea of get
ting in the way of munitions of
war. In everything but food
they were well supplied. Have
got a few beautiful modern,
hign-power guns —about a doz
en.
“My oidy fear is that we shall
have some sickness, and it is for
that reason that I have wired
you so earnestly about getting
these prisoners away, so that we
can go up in the mountains
with my command fifteen or
twenty miles, at the end of the
railroad, at San Luis, which is
said to be very healthy. It is, at
any rate, about 1,500 feet above
the sea, and has communication
by rail with Santiago.
“So far, there is no fever in
Santiago. 1 suppose because
there is no one there except im
muhes. Three cases only so far
year and the English consuf
tells me there was very little
last year.
“Os those here who served
throughout the civil war all de
clare tlii’t they did not have
anything that would compare
with it for hardships. With only
one set of clothes, officers h *ve
been rained on daily till today,
carrying three days’ rations like
the men, on their person and
suffering every priva ion that
any man can ; added to all these
privations, in addition, all the
horrors of disease in an unknown
land, and very limited accom
modations should they bewound
ed.
The spirit shown by them and
by the whole army was simply
grand. I can recall no instance
where a greater surrender has
been made than this. Ihe final
surrender of Gen. Toral and his
generals to myself and my gen
erals was highly dramatic, as
well as the hoisting of the flag
over the city of Santiago, one of
the oldest cities on this conti
nent.
“I want to thank you and the
president for the words of cheer
that have come to us and to say
chat none of us have ever doubt
ed that every effort possible to
make our lives as secure and
our situation as comfortable as
is possible would be made. ’’
It is a blessed period
in a woman’s life when
a dear little stranger
comes driving down r st ' ■
out of cloudland to
make its home in her -
heart and call her
mother. Yet the ma- -J <t Ml
jority of women ap>“’klril
proach this time with 7] ’ ’ ,'i
fear and misgiving
both for themselves '
and the expected little >
one. The mother’s y heart fore
bodes some
weakness or
# imperfection in the
baby while the wom-
/1 A anly nature fears its
I own sufferings; and per-
It! haps a little spice of vani
ty about her figure makes
her dread that its attrac
(y v aX\ t’ ve contour may be de-
W VzV j \ stroyed by maternity.
fa// But as a matter of fact
’.X when a woman is in per
feet health and condi
“ vXy X tion, motherhood should
only serve to enhance
-J L-f V and accentuate her phy-
* sical attractiveness. Ev
f'f ery expectant mother
Uh) should know and avail
herself of the health-giving, nerve toning
properties of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. It gives specific strength and
endurance to the organism of maternity ;
promotes thorough, healthy, constitutional
vigor and recuperative energy. It makes
motherhood safe and comparatively com
sortable; insures the baby’s perfection and
preserves the mother’s buoyant spirit and
womanly attractiveness.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hull, 27 Merrick Street. Paw
tucket, R. 1., writes: ‘‘l have taken I>r Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription and cannot speak too well
of it. I have had fifteen babies, and always had
a bad time. Sometimes I had to have two doc
tors. I began taking your ’ Prescription ’ last
July, and in September I gave birth to two little
girls, and I never had such an easy time. I had
no doctor, and was not in pain half of the time
as before. My weight is about two hundred
pounds. My twins when born weighed ten
pounds each. They are fine girls, now four
months old.”
In many cases where constipation is one
of the aggravating causes of disease, Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets should be used in
conjunction with the “ Favorite Prescrip
tion.” They are the simplest and most
perfectly natural laxative ever invented.
