WAR RECORD
On Thursday Gen Torn 1 ., th® Span
ish commander at San t ago agreed to
surrender bis force l " on the that
they be retnmed *0 Spain.
On Friday Toral v.-ae dodging and
hesitating ami onr generc!s hfg&n to
suspect treachery; Dewey complained
of the actions of the German comman
ders at Manila, martial law waa pro
claim fed in Madrid.
Snnjay morning the actnal snneiider
at Santiago occurred, an
.-/account of which 9 published in anoth
er column.
On Monday, President VloKinley,
cabled (ien. Shafter instructions re
garding the government of the city and
province of Santiago de Cnba.
(ien. Mile*, with two batteries and
three regiments sailed from Siboney for
1 point on the oast of Porto Rico: and
other transports from other places were
to sail for some point No convoy was
considered necessary. A force of -
000 is> to be landed iD Porto KiJO and
short work make of it.
At Manila the insurgent" tried to in
duce the Spanish Gov&rnor to bnrreti
der; an assault and massacre is feared.
Admiral Dewey made stricter refla
tions regarding the blockade.
The HOD« Kong correspondent of the
"Daily Mail" says. ' United States
Corornl Wildman informs me that as
the German cmiser lr< ne was [>assin«
Mariveleo, off Manila, the other day.
the United States gnnboat Hngh Mc
Onlloch was sent after her to ask her to
stop. As the Irene refnsed to obey, a
shell was sent across her bow and a
small boat went to discover what she
was doinir The German admiral pro
tests and insisted that German ships
bad a right to enter the barf,or without
being searched, a claim which Admiral
Dewey declined to recognize. It is re
ported that Adiiiral Von Diederichs,
who is in command of tht German
soajidrom at Manila, interviewed Capt.
Chichester -of the British cruiser Im
mortalite, M to what he would do if
the fitarn.ans interfered with the bom
bardment of Manila. Capt. Chichester
replied that only Admiral Dewey and
himself knew that
On Tnt rday, the starving throngs on
the wharfs of Santiago fought each
other for the supplies lauded from the
the Red Pri«s steamer, and troops were
stationed on the wharf to keep order.
The city w m found to be in a very bad
sanitary condition.

Watoon's s<j iadron was expected to
leave for Ei~u4v within two days. It
is to comprise eevcral of oar l<est fight
ing vessels, and be accompanied by
eight colliers and a snpply ship and it
was reported tlyit the ultimate destina
tion of the fleet would be Manila
MoTe interference from the German
admiral was rej>orted from Manilla.
Troops wqlfe being embarked for the
Porto Rioo, under <wn
mand of Gen. Miles. The Sixteenth
Pennsylvania was embarked at diaries
ton, S. C., excepting fifty members who
were down with typhoid.
Yesterday the streets of Santiago
were filled with soldiers and mer
chants. The Spaniards were selling
their jewelry for food. The fleet was
in Uuantanamo bay. Gen. Miles was
getting ready to sail for Porto Rioo.
Four thousand troojm sailed from
Charleston, S. C., for Porto Rico; and
the 10th Pa. arrived at Manila.
W AK tends to make a great dispropor
tion between the number of men and
women in a country that engages in it,
and this causes much misery, depreda
tion and suffering amongst the gentler
■ex. In Madrid, a city not mnch larger
than Pittsburg, there are WMtO more
women than men.
A SFANihH soldier, speaking of the
behavior of the American troops before
Santiago, ttairl: "The pigs charged up
the hill like fools. They are mad men—
imbeciles)! They don't know what dan
ger is." Conduct that elicits criticism
like this from the enemy is certainly
worthy of the highest praise.

The preliminaries of the capitulation
of the city having been settled and the j
terms confirmed by Madrid by cable, ■
the actual surrender took place this
morning, the Spaniards -landing over

Precisely at noon the stars and

Meanwhile all i«ersons, military end !

will be made this afternoon for refugees :
to return to the city should they Wire to I
do so. The distress among the non
combatants has txx.-n fearful and for
eight days only scanty relief has been 1
doled out
At El Caney a crowd of women and
children scrambled iu a wild mob before
a church door. After Hgting thoir way
to this place of relief they were doled
out a single cracker npiece The Red
Cross people have vainly tried to move
adequate supplies from their ships, and
the army transports have barely suffici

of food would relieve the starving wo

will necessarily move slowly
No important moves ar- contemplat
ed at present. As Holgnin and Gibara
have not surrendered, both are filled
with soldiers. Any evacuation or
weakening of the army surrounding
Santiago would invite General Luque
to march across the country and at. :

Indorsements of the terms of eapitula j
t'.on of Santiago and Eastern Cuba were j
received from Madrid at 10 o'clock yes j
terday and w o'clock to-day "as tie hour '
set for the formal ending of tb« H .tiiri
go campaign All the enemy's troops
in tb'j ea-t'Tu district of Santiago prov
iuci- will be marched to Santiago, many
detachments from outlying point* al
ready being en route, and the entire
force of 22,5<)0 men, it is expected, will!
be ready to en bark within a fortnight. j
The formal sanction by the Madrid [
government of the terms of capitulation
unraveled the tangled skein of demands
and conn tor demands between the op
posing commanders which threatened
yesterday to end tl.i- negotiations and
compel a return to arms After numer
ous conferences had resulted in the
agreement,already sanctioned byi Jeneral |
tJlan'-o. General 'ioral, »le<-i<l«-<I the j

! when General Tor&l pgrced to surrender
the prvin.ee of Santiago and General
Blanco sanctioned it, the agreement of
surrender became an acoompli-hed fact.
Gc- insisted that General Toral ha 1 eith
ersurrendered Thursday or aottl in '«ad
iaiih, but d vumentary evidence bore

' his government's approval and the .-ix
commissioners by whom the artic--
were si sued at 2.10 o'clock yesterday
! afternoon so ruled. The whole matter
v,-a., cleared up this morning, however,
i when General Toral received the nece
' sary sanction from Madrid. The agree
i ment consists of nin« aiticles
First that all hostilities sliali cease
pending the agreement of final capitula

Second That the capitulation in"lud

j OFF JURAGUA, July 1(J. General
i Toral, the whiU -hairo.l coinniand»<r of
the Spanish forces, was present through
I out the session ot tho commissioners at
| the signing of surrender and appeared
|to be utterly heartbioken. He spoke
bitterly of th«, late which compelled
him to sue for peace, but bad no word
! to say against the gallant men who had
conquered his army. He declared that
he had little chance to win.
"I would not desire to see my worst
enemy j lay v ith the cards ) held, ' he
said to one of the connni. loners,
"Every one of my generals wan kilksl
or wounded. 1 have not a single cor
nel left and am surrounded by a power
ful enemy. We have counted 07 ship*
off this port.
' And, btiides, ' he concluded wearily,
waving his hands toward tho city, I
have sec t troubles there "
Speaking of the battle of June 24, in
which the Rough Riders and a part of
General Young'h command participat
ed, General Toral said thai less than
2,000 Spanish troops were engaged, hit
loss being He would not say how
many Spaniards were killed at El Caney
and before Santiago "Heayy heavy,
be said, dejectedly.
In respon d to an irnj uiry, be nairl that

Jjb to rob th- taxpayers through a t
fiiscrcdi; J ' IJ.rc Hook'' scheme.
It will b-. rem mberod that one of the '
principal scandals of th- ;u>«cnt year
at Harrlsbur- was the exposure of an ,
attempt to secure about K3,000 of tb-' ]
; pie's roon-; by the i>-pub!lcitinn of |
another costly edition of the now t;o- :
torlous Utid Book.'' The bill as it i
originally passed the letislature was
harmless en ough in itself It provided j
for til - publication by the state printor (
<if a sort of pamphlet on the subject
of poultry and the enemies of poultry.
When the work was about ieadv for
publication it was discovered to be a
gorgeous volume, replete with many
coiored engravings, and which, when
finished, would cost the state not less
(hon the enormous sum above stated.
It was only tho actton of th«» gov

1 The State college at Bellefoate is a
•mat worthy and excellent Institution.
, It has a large and well paid corps of
, Instructors. Dr. Georgp \V. Atherton
tls the president of the college Pr.
Atherton is a gentleman of learnings '
j aud executive ability. It is to be re- j
igretted that tbr college has been made !
the victim of thp schemers' plots. But ,
it has and the result will be that the '
friends of the college must be prepared i
to h.-ar it denoun- J, "ven though it is i
Innocent
It 1.- the -ustom of the Institution to j
Issue a catalogue every year. The j
catalogue ls unusually a nicely bound 1
pamphlet, which discusses th* progress j
nf the experiment station and other I
branches of Its special w >rk. Taking
advantage .f these well knewn facts,
the- schemers In Harrlsburg decided to
work int. the State college catalogue
a lot of stuit about poultry, birds and
mammals, ci.d bro.vnst- ne. The lat
ttr Is the nr. 't interesting part of the
exposure
Just what broivnstone has to do with
Lhe state college of Pennsylvania ls not
made clear, even iu the catalogue.
There is not a vast amount of brown
stone lr. this state, and the people vho
started to advertise It in the State col
lege catalogue took good care to see
tbat the nam- of the firm owning the
quarries In question was conspicuously
placed In tho catalogue, so that any
person desiring to purchase this par
ticular styh of building stone would
not be at any to know where to
write for Information. Thus the
echemers, part of the same old gang
on the hill at Harrisburg, tried to turn
the latalofrue of this state institution
Inte a cold blooded advertising scheme.
For this it was proposed to make the
people pu.y something like $16,0U0.
There are guilty parties in this trnns
a-Uon. Then: was collusion on the
part of some one. and that guilty one
wilt yet be brought to account. It win
have to be explained how the person
engaged by the college to prepare the
annual catalogue of thai Institution
managed to let the old "Bird Book '
gang get the cjstly uts .ud highly col
ored plates into ; h- catalogue. How
the catalogue was deliberately turned
into an advertising scheme for a firm
of brownstone dealers. To the lasting
credit of the president. r*r. George W.
Atherton, he p oini*:;. and emphatical
ly denied any knowledge of the affair.
Nobody acquainted with Dr. Ather
ton would, for nil instant, believe him
to have knowledge of any such affair
without exposing it. But the fact re
mains thai aom on - had guilty knowl
edge of the transactlou.
TIFFIV 1 '(IIIAI^L YV.WRT
taken the "gang" is always on the
lookout to fleece the people. As fai t
as one exposure Is made another fol
lows. There Is but one way to end this
systematic robbery of tho people, uiul
that Is to turn the I uscals out. The
i iiole blood must go. The treasury

the schemei,- who tiy to work In their
