July IS. The movement of J. H. Start, Lieutenant B. Wellt and three invited correepondentt of the Associated Press, went into the harbor In a .team launch, which moved slowly In order to make close observation of the Spanish forta and battertet Commodore Schley over and over again expressed the belief that our fleet probably could have ent ered the harbor without the lost of . tingle .hip. The mines might have .top ped them by sinking the leading ship, but thlt it a chance of war. Commodore Schley', party first .teamed around the wreck of the Rtlna Mercedes. At the firing station on the west tide, which Commodore Schley inspected In person, the American party met a Spanish artillery captain who was courteous but gloomy. The Commodore advised the officer with the few men under hit com mand to go up to the city and surrender at quickly at possible. Commodore Schley then, after a glimpse of Santiago City, returned to the Brooklyn. Captain Cooke of the Brooklyn I. auth ority for the statement that the Infana Maria Teresa ha. floated oft the reef on which the ttuck and her heavy armament it practically uninjured.

TARIFF FOR SANTIAGO. Tonnage Duty on Ships Entering tho Har- 'bor Greatly Reduced. Washington, July 18.-Tho tariff for San tiago -was signed by the president after a brief conference this afternoon with Secretary Goge. Instructions were cabled to the auth orities In charge of Santiago by Secretary Alger go that the tariffs can be put in force tomorrow. Tho new tariff abolishes the discrimin ative tariff now In operation 'there. The most Important change effected Is to tact with those freeh from the United State. Ten thousand Spanish troops are at Holguln, Man.anlllo, and other points within striking distance of Santiago and might not lose the opportunity to re cover the ground lost at Santiago If the place were left insufficiently protected. Therefore Shatter's entire army Is to be on guard on the high hill. In the rear of the town until the men have atamped out the yellow fover. Then they will take a turn at the Spaniards If they can be found, and It may be that Shatter's march will end at Havana. SPAIN'S FLAG HAULED DOWN.

The American Army and Navy Highly Lessons Learned. London. July IS. The Times this morn lng In the course of Its weekly review says: "The Santiago negotiations were hon orable to both combatants and their suc cess was probably due to the wise and statesmanlike concession of Washington to send the Spanish garrison home. The prosivcts of regaining their native land Is naturally grateful to the wearied troops and this stroke of policy will probably have a great effect on the garrison at Havana. "There Is not the slightest doubt that troop, possessed of such fighting capaci ty as the Americans have shown could have at any time stormed Santlago.Hap- plly, a useless sacrifice of lite has been averted. "The direct gain to the United States from the capitulation Is small, but the In direct results are Important in the growth of mutual respect between the two coun tries and the lesson to the Madrid govern ment that It may now abandon a hopeless attitude without loss of military honors. The whole Santiago campaign conform strictly to the experience of the past .The American navy has displayed conspicuous ability. Torpedoes have played less im portant part than was anticipated, and it may be hoped that water discharges on board cruiser, will now be abandoned, If Indeed these craft may not be ex empted from the Incubus of the torpedo. "Judging from the American experl- mets at Santiago the prospect, of bom bardment from Invisible stations over cliffs will not be very alarming In future warfare. The problem at Manila re sembles that just solved at Santiago, ex cept that the military conditions are more favorable to the Americans. Whatever may be tho ulterior designs of the Ger mans these are not likely to be furthered by incidents like the Irene affair, which might easily have led to serious conse quences but for Admiral Dewey's tact and moderation. The hurlcane season In the Philippines Is now fast approaching and after the experience at Samoa a re luctance to keep a large number of ves sels In the waters of Manila bay may probably be expected. ESTIMATED KLONDIKE OUTPUT. Now Believed That Not Mora Than $10,000,000 Will Be Brought Out. San Francisco, July IS.
