LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS,
Old Glory Now Floats Over Santiago de
l.
Refugees Entering the City Take Things Philosophically'
' P : '- Notes of the Surrender,
?-
Washington, July 18. At 11 oclock Sunday morning, Gen, Greely re
cetved wordof the formal surrender of Santiago. The Spanish .troops left the
trenches and marched out and laid down (heir arms. Spanish flag was
hauled down and the stars and Rtrlpes now float over Santiago de Cuba,
General Sliaftcr and the American division and brigade commanders and
their staffs wero escorted by a troop of cavalry and Gen. Toral and his staff
by 100 picked men.
Trumpeters on both sides saluted with flourishes.
Gea. Shatter returned to Gen! Toral the latter's sword after It had been
handed to the American commander.
Our troop, lined up at the trenches, were eye witnesses of the ceremony.
General Shufter and his escort accompanied by Gen. Toral, rode through the
city taklnn urinal possession. The city had been sacked by the Spaniards
before they arrived.
General McKibbcn has been appblnted temporary military 'governor.
Thcceremony of hoisting the stars and stripes was worth all the blood and
treasure it cost. A vast concourse of 10,000 people witnessed the stirring and
thrilling scene that will live forever In the minds of all the Americans pres
ent. A liner stage setting for a dramatic episode it would be difficult to Im
agine. The palace, a picturesque old dwelling In Hie MoorUh stjleof arch
itecture, faces the Plzaa do la iteina, the principal public square. Opposite
rises the Imposing Cathclic cathedral. On one side Is a quaint, brilliantly
painted building with broad verandas, tne club of San Carlos; on the other
a building of the same description, the Cafe de la Venus.
Across the plaza was drawn up the Ninth Infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the, street facing the palace stood a picked troop of the
Second Cavalry with drawn sabers, under command of Captain Brett. Massed
on the stone flagging between the band and line of horsemen were the
brigade commanders of General Shatter's division with their staffs. On the
red-tiled roof of the palace stood Captain JlcKlttrick, Lieutenant Mlley and
Lieutenant Wheeler. Immediately above them on the flagstaff was the
Illuminated Spanish arms andthc legend "Vjva Alfonso XIII."
All about pressing the yerandarails, crowding tho windows and doors and
lining the roofs wero the peopleof the town. ;
As the .chimes of the old cathedral rang the hour of 12, tho Infantry and
cavalry presented arms. Every American uncoyered, and Captain McKIt
rlck hoisted the Stars and Stripes.
As thobrllllant folds' unfurled In a gentle breezo against a ileckless sky,
the cavalry .band broke Into the strains of "The Star Spangled Banner,"
making the American pulse leap and the American heart thrill with joy.
At tho same Instant, the sound of tho distant booming of Captain
Capron's battery, firing a salute of 21 guns, drifted In. When the music
ceased, from all directions around our lino came floating across the plaza the
strains of the regimental bands and the muffled, hoarse cheers of our troops.
Tho infantry came to "order arms" a moment later, after tho flag was up
and tho band played "Rally 'Bound the Flag, Boys." Instantly, General
McKlbben called for three cheers for Gen. Shatter, which were given with
great enthusiasm, tho band playing Sousa's "Tho Stars and Stripes Forever."
The ceremony, over Gen. Shatter and his staff returned to the American
lines, leaving the city in the possession of tho municipal authorities, subject
to the control of General McKlbbeu.
The Thirteenth and Ninth regiment of infantry will remain in the city
to enforce order and exercise municipal authority.
Tho Spanish forces are to encamp outside of our lines,
Tho work of loading the Spanish prisoners on transports preparatory to
sending them back to Spain will be commenced as soon as ships are provided.
The authorities at Washington haye been urged to use haste in this matter.
It has been suggested to use Spanish transports for this work, fear being ex
pressed that the use of American vessels would result in rendering them
dangerous for use in moving American troops, on account of tho exposure of
the Spaniards to yellow fever.
A stream of refugees has been pouring into the city all day some naked
and all hungry and footsore. Many had fallen by the waywide.
The town of Santiago is a dismal sight. Most of the bouses have been
sacked, and the stores have all been looted, and nothing can bo had for love
nor money.
in the streets of the city, at the entrenchments, at the breastworks and
at every 100 feet or so of the barbedwire fence were the living skeletons of
Spanish soldiers.
Twenty-two thousand refugees are quartered at El Caney, COOOatFJrmosa
and 2000 at Cubltas el Bonita, where they have been Hying for a fortnight.
In one case 500 were crowded into ono building, which was a regular pigsty,
with a horrible strench. They used the water of tho rlyer, where soiled
clothing was washed, and all manner of filth Is floating, CD
The entrance of the refugees was quiet and peaceful, they viewing their
wrecked homes phllosphlcally, as tho fortunes of war, Admiral Sampson's
last bombardment of Santiago wrecked 57 houses in the city, causing heavy
damage.
THEY WILL BE OURS.
Arms of the Spaniards Will Remain
Uncle Sam's Property.
Washington, July 18. Tho arms
surrendered by the Spaniards at San
tiago to General Shatter will be kept
by the government. This conclusion,
reached the president and Secretary
Alger.
"AH those who have arms will turn
them over to this government. This
Is final."
These were the secretary's words
when asked for information.
"And," he added, in response to
further inquiry and to clear any doubt
that might exist on tho subject, "the
rifles will not be returned to Spain."

Under Monno Castle, in the Harbor of Santiago, de Cuba, July 18.
Lowering of the emblem of defunct sovereignty of Spain In this part of
the world yesterday, was witnessed by a few Spanish and American troops on
shore the nnd by the, Brooklyn and tho Now York, tho Vixen and Vesuvius,
which were lying within a few huudrcd yards of tho harbor entrance. Al
most Immediately after tho flag was hauled down, tho steam launches, com
manded by Lleuts Ilobson and Palmer entered tho harbor, penetrating as
far as the tiring stations of the submanno mines.
These mines were found not to be so formidable as was expected and later
In the afternoon they were all exploded, under tho supervision of tho Vixen
Six or seven steamers In tho harbor fall as prisoners to army and navy.
Soon after noon Commodore Schley with Captain Cook, of Brooklyn, Lieut. J.
II. Sears, Lieut. B. Wells and three Invited correspondents of tho Associated
rresi, weLt Into the harbor on a steam launch, which moved very slowly, In
order to make a close observation of tho Spanish forts and batteries.
Commodoro Schley, oyer and over again, expressed his belief that our fleet
probably cou'd have entered tho harbor without tho loss of a single ship.
The mines might have stopped the lugrcss by sinking the leading ship, but
this Is simply a chance of war.
Commodoro Schley's party first steamed around tho wreck of Relna
Mercedes. At tho firing station on tho west side, which Commodoro Schloy
Inspected In person, tho American! party met a Spanish artillery captain,
who was courteous but gloomy. The commodoro adytscd tho officer, with a
fow men under his command, to go up to tho city and surrendoras quickly as
possible.
Commodore Schley, then, after a gllmpso of Santiago City, returned to the
Brooklyn. Captain Cook of tho Brooklyn is authority for the statement that
the Infanta Maria Teresa has floated ofMho reef on which she was stranded
and her heavy armament is practically uninjured. Tho captain also says; tho
cruiser will most surely bo saved. The Cristobal Colon may also bo saved,
though a good deal depends upon the weather.
