Oregon and cruiser Newark, with Watson
aboard tho former.
Tho utmost hasto is mado in fitting out tho

INSTRUCTIONS TO SHAFTER
tn a State Papor Marking an Epoch
In Our History.
GUARANTEES PERFECT SECURITY
Our Government Assures the Inhabitants
of Cuba of the Intention to Protect Them
in Their Homes, In Their Employments
and in Their Personal and Religious
Rights All Who Honestly Submit Will
Receive the Reward "Our Occupation
Should Be as Free From Severity as
Possible."
WashlnRton, July 19. A state paper
that will be historic, marking an epoch
In American history was limed lust
nlfiht by direction of President Mc
Klnley. It provides In general terms
for the government f the province of
Santiago de Cuba, and is the first docu
ment of the kind ever prepared by a
president of the United Status.
liy order of Secretury Aleer, Ad
jutant General Corbln last night cabled
the document to General Shatter, In
command of the military forces at
Santiago. The paper Is not only an
authorization and Instruction of Gen
eral Shatter for the government of the
captured territory, but also a procla
mation to the people of the territory of
the Intentions ot the government of the
United States regarding them and their
Interests. It makes the formal estab
lishment of a new political power In
the Island of Cuba and Insures to the
people of the territory over which the
power extends absolute security In the
exercise of their private rights and re
lations, as well as security to their per
sons and property. The document Is
addressed to the secretary ot war, and
will be published In English and Span
ish. It Is as follows:
"The capitulation of tho Spanish
forces in Santiago de Cuba and In the
eastern part of tho province of San
tiago and the occupation of the terri
tory b'y the forces of the United States,
render It necessary to Instruct the mili
tary commander of the -United States
as to the conduct which he Is, to ob
serve during the military ocupatlon.
"The llrst effect of the military oc
cupation of the enemy's territory Is
the severance of the former political
relations of the Inhabitants and the
establishment of a new political power.
Under this changed condition of things,
the Inhabitants, so long as they per
form their duties, are entitled to se
curity In their persons nnd property,
nnd In nil their private rights and re
atlons. It Is my desire that the Inhabi
tants of Cuba should be acquainted
with the purpose of the United States
to discharge to the fullest extent Its ob
ligations In this regard. It will there
fore be the duty of the commander of
the army of occupation to announce
and pioclulm In the most public man
ner that we come not to make war
upon the Inhabitants of Cuba, nor upon
nny party or faction among them, but
to protect them In their homes, In
their employments and In their personal
and religious rights. All persons who,
cither by active aid or by honest sub
mission, co-operate with tho United
States In Its efforts to give effect to
this beneficent purpose will receive tho
reward of Its support and protection.
Our occupation should be as flee from
severity ns possible.
"Though tho powers of mllltnry oc
cupation nie absolute and supreme,
and Immediately operate upon the po
litical condition of the inhabitant, the
municipal laws of the conquered ter
ritory, such as affect pilvato rights of
person and property and provide for
the punishment of crlme.are considered
as continuing In force, so far as they
tire compatible with the new order of
things, until they are suspended or
Bupeiseded by the occupying lielllger
out, nnd In practice they are not usu
ally abrogated, but are allowed to re
main In foicc and to be administered
by tho ordinary tilhunals substantially
as tney weie before the occupation.
This enlightened practice Is, so far as
possible, to be adhered to on the pros
ent occasion. The Judges and the other
ollicials connected with the adminis
tration of Justice may, If thpy accept
the supremacy of tlio United States,
continue to administer the ordinary law
of tho land, ns between man nnd man,
under the supervision of the American
commander-in-chief. Tho native con
stabulatory will, so far as may be
practicable, bo preserved. Tho freedom
of tho peoplo to pursue their accus
tomed occuoatlons will be abridged
only when It may be necessary to do so.
"While the tule ot conduct of the
American .commander-in-chief will be
such as has been defined, It will be his
duty to adopt measures of a different
kind, If, unfortunately, tho course of
the people should render such measures
Indlspenslble to the maintenance ot
law and order. He will then possess
tho power to replace or expel the native
nlllclals In part or altogether, to sub
stitute new courtB of his ojv.n examlna-

HAVANA'S WAR VIEWS.
They Have Probably Changed Since the
Surrender of Santiago to the
Amctican Forces.
Key West, July 10. A new letter 1ms
just rone bed hero from a Spanish cor
respondent in Ilavnnn, under date ot
June 30, which Is In substance as fol
lows: A lornl newspaper, commenting upon
the war undertaken by the United
States agninst Spain in the name of
humanity, says that if the money ul
lendy spent by the Americano In war
hud been employed In helping the le
ooncentrados, the latter, notwithstand
ing the "Irregularities of Consul Gen
eral I.ee nnd other politicians," would
be eating parti lde and dilnltlug cham
pagne. The same paper, In an editorial based
Upon the repoit that the Ameilcnn com
modore, Watson, will take, a squad
ron to the Spanish coast and bombard
the forts, says the rumor Is "mere
nonsense." This Is the argument:
"The Iowa, one of the vepels which
It Is said will go, has not room enough
In her bunkers for the coal necessary
to carry her from the United States to
Spain. Hut even supposing she can get
coal enough, whut would be the Ametl
can base of operation? If the Ameri
can vessels were damaged, where
would they be tepalred? As for bom
barding ports, the answer to that Is
that Cadiz, Barcelona, Corunna, San
tnnder and almost all the ports of
Spain are well fortllled nnd In condi
tion to repel any attack by the Ameri
can lleet.
"Such a decision, If It has been taken,
Is due to a desire of the American gov
ernment to satisfy clamorous spirits In
the United States, now gieatly excited
over the news that the second Spanish
naval division, under Admiral Camara,
Is on tho way to the Philippines, where
It will most likely defeat the American
squadron undpr Commodore Dewoy.
Tho American government has tiled to
persuade the Amctican people that the
tending to Spain of a squadron upder
Watson will compel Admiral Camara to
return of the defi-nhe of the Spanish
ports, so that Dewey's lleet will bo
saved and there will l,p no danger that
American ports in tbo Pacific will be
bombarded by Cnnicru."

Representatives of Beer Agents Spring
0 a Biff Surprise.
HAVE SUSPENDED TREATING I
The New Rule Was Put Into Operation
Yesterday The Astonished saloon
keepers Denounce It and Are
Making Many Kinds
of Threats.
A mild war Is on between saloonkeepers of
town and tho beer agents, and if the tin eats
mado aro cariled out thero will bo somo very
interesting developments In that lino of
business.
It appears that nil tho local agents got
together and agreed to Instruct their collec
tors, on making their next ensuing collec
tions, not to spend nny money over the bars.
nor to allow any discounts to tho saloon
keepers.
1 osterday being the first Monday nftcr nav
day tho collectors made their usual rounds.
Heretofore it has been the custom of tho col
lectors, nfter receiving the amount due them
and receipting for It, to say, "Well, Jim, I
have a few cents to spare, set 'oni tip for the
boys," and in this manner a dollar or
moro passed back into tho coffer
behind tbo bar. Yesterday, however, there
came a change. Tho collector took his
money, receipted for it In the pass book.
smilingly handed tho book back to tho
saloonkeeper nnd remarked, "It looks like
rain, don't 4t?" Tho saloonkeeper agreed
that it did and the collector very pleasantly
added a "Good day ."' and walked out.
lho eflect can ho better imagined thai, des
cribed. In sumo instances it was very funny.
A spectator ilcscrihos tho scene in one saloon
as being as amusing ns tbo best farce comedy
on tlio roatl. In this case thu saloonkeeper
stood as if ho had been struck in the face
with n blackjack, but recovering liim-ielf he
shouted after tlio collector, "Saw Jack.
como back and havo a drink." Tho party
addressed returned for an instant and
politely replied, "No, tliuuk you; tho boss
won t allow us to indulgo uu tho route."
lho saloonkeeper staggered backwards
and gazod in blank astonishment at tho row
of (uakcrs who were as much surprised at
tlio sudden turn or all.iirs as tho landlord
hlmsolf. "Well, I'll bo hanged if I ever saw
that man act that way before." exclaimed
mine host. "Thero will he a new collector,
or new beer on this route, I'll bet a tig."
But tho dispenser of tho amlier colored
lluid had only received an cyc-opeuor, for
soon collectors of other hecr agents made
their appearance and exit in similar manner.
Then it dawned upon tho saloonkeeper that
thero was an understanding and for an hour
after tbo saloonkeeper could bo heard swear
ing vengeance.
Tho compact was carried out to tbo letter
and it has caused an ugly wound. A beer
agent said to-day, in referenco to the now
movement, "It can't be helped. Most peoplo
aro under tho impression that a beer agency
is nothing less than u gold mine, or a mint.
The fact is tbo business is run down so much
by hard times, failures and couipetlou that
wo are obliged to do something in retrench
ment of expenses, and wo know of no moro
suitable step to begin with than to cut off tho
pay day discounts."
Just what tho outcomo of the affair will be
cannot bo foreshadowed. Thero aro threats
of getting beer from out-of-town breweries,
but thero aro not many peoplo who take
stock in this. One saloonkeeper declared last
night ho had t'dked with sovoral others who
say that by combining they can havo beer
shipped hero by a Western bruwory and de
livered at J0.50 per barrel. To properly man
ago such a combine it would ho necessary to
havo a large storago house erected hero.
A beor agent who heard of this remarked
said it would ho a difficult matter to conduct
sucii a scheme. Many embarrassing coutln
gencics would arise in carrying out tho co
operation and it would havo to bo conducted
on a strictly cash basis. This basis.
ho said, is in us badly a demoralized condi
tion as in other lines of business. In scores
of cases, ho added, saloonkeepers fail to
settle their accounts in full, not because
they do not wish to, but because of tho
credit business done.
