OFFiGIAL REPCRT Os tile Goruhiissioiiers Who Drafted Silri Articles OF FALL OF SAJUTIAHO. 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.
