A BRIGHT FUTURE ASSURED 1

American and Spanish Soldiers Frater-
nize. The Populace Takes Well to the
New Condition “Affairs. Starvation
Being Relieved, The Yellow Fever is

Under Control.

Santiago de Cuba, July 20, via King-
ston, Jamaica, July 21.--Hundreds of
American and Spanish soldiers, who but
a. few days ago were shooting at each
other, crowd the streets of Santiago
to—day, meeting on the most friendly
terms. A general feeling of good fel-
lowship is evidenced everywhere, vic-
tors and vanquished apparently being
equally rejoiced that the strife and
bloodshed has been ended and that the
horrors of the siege have passed. Quaint
stores, with gaudy displays of wares,
are opening rapidly, and the storekeep-
ers eagerly accept American money and
treat American customers courteously.
The narrow, cobble paved streets, gril—
Ling in the fierce sunshine, are crowd-
ed from morning until night by chat-
tering groups of Spanish soldiers and
crowds of laughing, rollicking men be"
longingto General Shafter’s army.

Barge loads of provisions and sup-
plies have been going to the wharves
all day from the Red Cross steamship
State of Texas, and the United States
army supply ships, and there is evi-
dence that privation is rapidly disap—
pearing. Along the water front, under
every awning, dozens of women and
children may be seen munching Ameri—
can hard tack and food is being dis-
tributed very rapidly. About the plaza
facing the pal-ace and in the numerous
airy cafes the officers of the opposing
armies lounged through the day. The
Americans are buying swords, medals
and buttons from their late foes and
all talk cheerily whenever an interpre-
ter can be obtained.

About 4,000 Spanish troops remain in
the city, but the majority of them are
to be removed as soon as a camping
ground beyond the rifle pits can be ar-
ranged. The American troops are be-
ing removed from their old encamp-
ments behind the trenches to cooler and
better spots in the hills north of the
town. Our officers here appear to'be
Ignorant as to the disposition of the
Fifth Corps, but a. general impression
is that but few of the troops here will
be taken to Porto Rico. The harbor
is crowded with transports, but no or-
ders for embaiking the troops have
been received.

The officers say the health of the city
ls remarkably good. They assert that
there is not a case of yellow fever in
Santiago, and that there are but few
cases of small pcx. The streets look
fairly clean, and the city shows signs
of the care taken by the Spaniards t)
prevent an epidemic during the siege.

General Shafter has placed a. censor
in charge of the cable office and only
government dispatches are allowed to
be sent to-day. It is [3.16, however,
that press and commercial dispatches
will be received, subject to the cen-
sor’s_blue pencil, soon--probably to-
morrow.

Spanish-merchants who have been
Interviewed on the subject, say they
expect business to revive at once and
hope for large investments of Ameri-
can capital within the next year. There

seems to be no race hatred, the bitter- .

ness being all directed againstt the Ma-
drid government, which is charged with
gross mismanagement of Cuba. and
bungling during the conduct of the
present war.

The hospital headquarters are located
at Juragua. Two deaths from yellow
[ever were reported there ~yesterday,
but the names of the victims have not
been made public. The physicians say
that there are but few new cases ap-
pearing, and that the epidemic is un-
der control. They also think that the
danger to the army is about passed.
General Miles is at Guantanamo, on the
Yale, and is said to be arranging the
details of the Porto Rico campaign.
[t is reported here that a large army
will sail from the United States this
week, and that General Miles, with a
Henry’s troops,
which are not yet disembarked, will go
direct to the vicinity of San Juan de
Porto Rico within a short time.

Most of the ships of Rear Admiral
Sampson's fleet are also lying in Gu-
antanamo bay. The New York and
the Brooklyn have spent the day almost
under the shadow of Morro Castle, ly-
lng as close in shore as possible.

 

Pneumatic lVIail Service.

Brooklyn, July 2'1.-—T.he first practi-
cal test of the pneumatic mail tubes
crossing the bridge and connecting the
postoffice in this city with the postof-
fice in New York, was made at eleven
a’clock yesterday morning, in the pres-
ence of a party of interested persons.
Postmaster Francis H. Wilson of th1s
city, with several heads of departments
and several invited guests, witnessed
the experiment at the Brooklyn end
of the tubes. It was exactly eleven
o'clock when Postmaster Wilson was
Informed by telephone that the first
cartridge, containing the cards of the
guests at the other end, was in read-i-
ness to be dispatched. Two minutes
and twenty—five seconds later a strange

hissing noise was heard and the box ar-

rived at the office. It was covered with
mud that had accumulated in the tubes
but the contents of the box were found
to be clean and intact.

The new service will begin operation
on July 27, and the tubes will be in use
between 5 o’clock in the morning and
nine o’clock at night. The company in
charge of the tubes has a contract with
the-government for five years, dating
from October 1, at $14,000 a year. Un-
der the new contract $6,000 of the ex-
pense for the operation of the tubes
will fall upon the Brooklyn pos-toffice.

 

Lelter’s Big Loan.

Chicago, July 21.--Levi Z. Leiter has
now. practically closed the contract
which he has been negotiating with the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company for the loan of $3,000,000 on
his real estate. Mr. Leiter has been
arranging this matter with the com-
pany for some time, in fact, almost
since the end of his son’s unsuccessful

wheat venture.

THE SENECA Analyse

 

iWounded Suffered During the Voyage
from Siboney.

New York, July 2!. ——The transporti
steamship Seneca, Captain Decker, six
clays from Siboney, with ninety-nine
sick and wounded soldiers and forty-
eight men and, women passengers,_ ar-
rived here yesterday and dropped an—
:hor at quarantine at 10.20 o’clock. Dr.
Doty, the health officer of the port,
boarded the Seneca. at once, and after
1 hasty examination of the sick ordered
:he boat detained, because of the pres-
ence on board of seven suspicious cases
3f fever. None of the cases is pro-
nounced, Dr. Doty said, and in no in-
stance did the patient show any mark-
ed symptoms of yellow fever. The na-
ture of the fever could not be determ-
ined on board and the seven patients
were removed to Swinburne island at
ance.

Dr. Doty ordered that the Seneca be
thoroughly cleansed and disinfected at
once. Her passengers will, if neces-
sary, be taken to Hoffman island until
the ship has been disinfected, and then
will be allowed to proceed on board
net to the city unless more fever cases
tppear.

No one but the health officers was al-
'owed on board the Seneca. Passen-
gers who gathered at the rail reported
that the voyage had been made with-
out any exciting incidents, but they
complained of the lack of accommoda-
tions on board.

When the Seneca went to Siboney
the forty-eight passengers boarded her
for the trip here. Before she could
get under way Captain Decker was
ordered to take the wounded also on
board.

They were put into the steerage as
last as they could be got on the boat,
until those who had cabins gave them
up and slept on the decks. The only
passengers to refuse to make way for
the wounded were H. Enver Pacha,
military representative of the Turkish
army, and his suite. All through the
voyage they stuck to their state rooms
while many of the ill lay on the decks
outside.

ANOTHER MOVE, TO MANILA.

 

[‘hree Transports With 3,500 TroOps Ex—
pected to Start by July 25.

Washington, July 21.o-Preparations

are being made to embark the fifth

military expedition to the Philippines ,

within four or fiVe days. Information
from San Francisco has been received
at the quartermaster general’s and the
commissary general’s officé to the ef-
fect that the equipment of the expedi-
tion is progressing rapidly and that the
troops are expected to sail as early as
July 25.

The ships which are expected to car-
ry the expedition are the Scandia, the
St. Paul and the Arizona. The last
named vessel is now on the way to San
Francisco from Tacoma.

The Scandia is one of the largest
ships yet secured by the government
for transport purposes. She is capable
of carrying 1,900 soldiers, with all nec-
essary supplies. The other ships have
a good capacity, and it is expected that
the 'total force sent in the fifth expedi-
tion to Manila will number not less
than 3,500 men.

 

Four Thousand Troops Sail.

Charleston, S. 0., July 21.—-Four thou-
sand troops, under command of Gen.
Wilson, sailed for Porto Rico shortly
after six o’clock yesterday afternoon.

Exciting scenes accompanied their
departure. The men themselves were
wildly enthusiastic at the prospect of
seeing immediate service.

It is understood that. the command
will proceed directly to Porto Rico,
:onnecting with the rest of the invad-
ing force under General Miles, at some
point that has not been disclosed.

 

Court Martial for Toral.
Madrid, July 21.—-Captain Gen. Blan-
20 has cabled the Spanish government
that Santiago was surrendered with-
out his knowledge. General Toral will
be tried by court martial.

iAWAITING AN ESCORT

Miles Has Ten Transports Ready
To Sail,

 

SAMPSON ASKED TO EASTER

A Small Force Will Land in Porto Rico
Now and Establish a Base of Supplies.
No Military Movement Until a Strong
Army Arrives. Landing Will Be Made
Some Distance from San Juan Under
Fleet’s Protection.

Washington, July 21.--Late yesterday
afternoon Secretary Alger received a
dispatch from General Miles stating
that the latter had ten transports load-
ed with troops at Guantanamo bay and
only awaited the arrival of a naval es-
cort before proceeding 'to San Juan.

General Miles stated also that two
additional transports had reached Gu—
antanamo, loaded with artillery pieces
and a force of engineer troops.

Upon receipt of this dispatch Secre-
tary Alger telegraphed to General Miles
requesting him to notify the» war de-
oartment the regiments he had decided
to take with him to Porto Rico from
Shaffer’s army.

Additional ordeis were sent to Samp-
son to hurry up with the convoys for
tIiles’ s troops.

’ some surprise by stating that there was

:0 be no fighting in Porto Rico for
' some weeks yet. He said that General

Miles is simply going with a. small force

:0 establish a. base at Porto Rico and
Ithat no military movement would be
' indertaken until he had been reinforced
l
|
|

 

by a strong army. He said that this
would doubtless occupy several weeks,
is men had to be moved from Chicka-
nauga and other camps.

lflles’ Army llIay Aggregate 40,000 Men.

He intimated that the army to be

- ',2ommanded by Miles and Brooke will

be the largest yet put forth into the
field, aggregating probably forty thou-
'sand men.

I From what General Corbin said it is
lunderstood to be the intention of Gen—
eral Miles to land at a point some dis—
tance from San Juan, where he will be
amply protected by the guns of Admiral
_ Sampson’s fleet.

l His troops will not attempt any of-
fensive operations until the full force
of the Porto Rico army has been as—
sembled, when a move on San Juan will
be made.

1 Although the p

, department expects

American soldiers to effect a landing
in Porto Rico inside of five days, no im-
portant developments are looked for
from this island for some time.

If the hopes expressed by Major Gen-
eral Wilson in his telegram to the war
!department from Charleston are real-
ized, three regiments of the Porto Rico
expedition left that place last night.
These were the regiments composing

General Ernst’s brigade and are made
iup of the Second and Third Wisconsin

and Sixteenth Pennsylvania.

They are aboard the steamers Grand
Duchess, the Obdam and another ship,
and will sail for the rendezvousing
point of the expedition with-out delay.
A large consignment of wagon trans-
portation also accompanies this expe-
dition. It includes the wagons intend-
ed for the brigade of General Hains,
which is :to embark from Newport
News.

This transportation is regarded as a
most important feature 'of the expedi-
tion, and its necessity was urgently set
forth by General Miles in his telegrams
to the department. The latter had no-
ted the treme‘ndous efforts required for
shipping the subsistence stores and

 

determined that there should be no
lack of facilities for this work in the
Porto Rico expedition.

The chief quartermaster at Chicka-
mauga has been informed by the de-
partment that transportation for the
embarkation of General Hain’s bri-
gade at Newport News will be ready
Saturday. This being the case, the of-
.ficials see no reason why the expedi-
ition from that place should not be on
its way to Porto Rico in a very few
days. It will be made up of the Fourth
Ohio, Third Illinois and the Fourth
Pennsylvania regiments, and several
detached companies of artillery, a sig-
nal and a. hospital corps.

 

 

Several Transports Have Left Tampa.

Tampa, Fla., July 21. --There is now
being fitted out at Port Tampa an ex-
pedition second in size only to that
iwhich took General Shaffer and his
army to Santiago. Its true destination
has not been officially revealed, al-
though it is given out that it is to go
to Santiago.

The transports at the port are being
loaded as fast as an anmy‘of men can
do it, and the fleet will probably be
ready to sail before the end of the
week

Several of the vessels belonging to
the fleet have already loaded and sail-
ed for Key West, where they will all
rendezvous before the final departure.

The troops to go on the expedition
are detachments of the Second, Fourth,
Sixth and Seventh artillery, including
four heavy and two light batteries; the
Fifth, Eleventh and Nineteenth regular
infantry, four troops of the Roosevelt
Rough Riders and detachments from
the Third and Fifth Regular cavalry.

The volunteer regim‘ents which are
expected to be taken on this expedition
are doomed to a fourth disappointment.
When arrangements were first begun
for the expedition the regiments of
General Snyder's division, including the
First Ohio, Third‘ Pennsylvania, Sec-
ond New York, One Hundred and Fif-
ty-seventh Indiana and Fifth Mary-
land, were scheduled to form a part of
it. The inability of the government to
secure a sufficient number of troop
ships is responsible for the change of
programme. .

 

 

Lightning Kills Six.

Dover, N. J., July 21.--Six people
were killed by a. bolt of lightning near
Boonton Tuesday evening. Four died
instantly. They were James Quick, 23
years, married, with two children: J.
Clifford Todd, a boy; John 'Ballantine
and John Ryztzynski. Quick lived in
Boonton. Ballantine was a. resident of
'Rooka-way Valley, the Todd boy lived
on a farm back of Boonton, and By“-

aynski worked for his father. , I
