Americana\u2014Next Comes the Capture of Porto Rico\u2014General Miles will be in Command\u2014American Army Infected with Yellow Fever-Arms and Ammunition for the Cubans\u2014Spanish Troops Captured by Insurgents.WASUiMiiyoN, D.C., Jnly 14\u2014The War' Department has received the following despatch from General Miles, written apparently lefore the final surrender of Santiago at three o\u2019clock :\u2014Plava del Este, July 14.Secretary of War, Washington.Before Santiago, July 14\u2014General Toral formally surrendered the troops of his army, the troops and division of Santiago, on the terme and noder-etauding that hie troops shall be returned to Spain.General Shatter will appoint Com-miseioners to draw up the conditions of the arrangements for carrying out the terms of surrender.This is very gratifying and General Shafter and the officers and men of his command are entitled to great credit for their sincerity and fortitude in overcoming the almost insuperable obstacles which they encountered.A portion of the army is infected with yellow fever and efforts will bemede to separate those who are infeoled and those free from it and to keep those who are still on board ehip separated from those on ehore.Arrauge- from disaster in the many engagements it has had with the forts at the entrance of the harbor and with the Spanish squadron.\u201cNext i* Porto Rico\u201d said Secretary Alger after receiving news of Santiago's formal surrender \u201cand then, if need be, Havana.\u201d The Secretary was in excellent spirits.He has been more anxious than he dared show as to the condition of our sick soldiers and looked with apprehension upon the possibility of a prolongation of the struggle in the unhealthy valley of Santiago.The Secretary said that the Porto Rican expedition will go forward immediately.It will comprise new men entirely.The Warriors in the trenches before Santiago have distinguished themselves and it is not deemed prudent to bring them in unnecessary ooutact with new troops in view of the danger of spreading contagion.The sick soldiers will be nursed back to health and brought to the United States as aoou as they can be safely removed.Immune regulars will be ordered to Santiago to guard the town, and, as stated in these despatches yes terday, two companies of the regulars are already under oraers to proceed.Tjhe Porto R:can expedition will be com-mai ded by General Miles in person, though General Brooke, now in command at Camp Thomas, is expected to be his main dependence.The siée of the expedition will depend upon General Miles\u2019 wishes, although it is believed that 25,000 men will be sufficient for the purpose.At San Juan the navy will be of greater assistance than it was at Santiago, owieg to the possibilityof approach ingthe town more closely without risking contact with mines.General Brooke is now on his way to Washington by direction of Secretary Alger, so that he will be in a position to make hi» views known.The experience gained in despatching General Shafter\u2019s expedition, it is expected, will aid the officials in their determination to make short work of the Porto Rican affair.There will be plenty of transports available, as the Government has devised other means of conveying the Spaniards captured at Santiago to Spain than by carrying them on those trans-portr.That the navy is ready to do its share at Porto Rico re- _______________ those on ________ _______\u201e\t.\t_\t_ menls will be immediately made for carrying I short notice goes without saying.Porto F out further instructions of the President and I is not expected to offer a very formidable yourself.(Signed) Nelson A.Miles, Major- Isistance.It is believed that the moral effect General of the Army.\tof to-day\u2019s surrender at S aotiago will be todis- To transport the surrendered army will I courage the defenders of San Ji require no lees than 45 large steamers, a number in excess of the entire fleet of transports now available in southern waters.Secretary Alger, however, declares that our ships will not be used for the movement unless a specific official agreement be arrived at with Spain for the protection of our vessels, agaiust the seizure of which by the enemy there would otherwise be no preventative.The plan of the War Department for re-turning the surrendered army of General Toral to Spain will not necessitate the use of American vessels.It is the pnrpcse of the Department to ask for proposals from all steamship companies which desire to compete for transporting the Spanish troops to Spain and the most advantageous bid will be accepted.The advices of General Shafter state that the number of Spanish prisoners will be between 12,000 and 15,000.The first chapter in tha land campaign of the United States against Spain closed today, when the Spanish colors gave place over Santiago to the American flag.Next will follow the transportation of the Spanish troops back to their native land and the capture of the Island of Porto Rico, unless peace soon intervenes.The siege of Santiago has lasted two weeks ^nd Was remarkable iu many respects and in dodo more than the heavy percentage of loss through death, wounds or sickness of the soldiers and sailors engaged on both sides.Looking back over the record of these two weeks, it is seen that a great ironclad tquadron has been destroyed, that nearly a thousand Spanish sailors have been drowned or killed by shell and flame and that an untold number of Spanish soldiers have died in the treiches of Santiago.On the other hand, about 250 American soldiers have been killed and in tound numbers 2,000 more have been sent to the hospitals from wounds, fevers and other ailments.The American fleet had a remaikable exemption Only the tortures of the mediaeval rack are comparable to the agonies which many women suffer through Leave Quebec, 6.CO P.M.Leave St.Joachim.7.06 A.M.SUNDAYS.6.15 P.M.Arrive Quebec.8 25

prospect that peace may ensue before hostilities have progressed against Spain\u2019s easternmost West Indian Island.Rumors were afloat this afternoon that the Spanish Government had made overtures io th&t direction, but their basis probably was the current belief that one more reverse to (lie Spanish arms would be sufficient to compel the Spaniard* to sue for peace, and this reverse was furnished by the surrender of General Toral\u2019s army.The Navy Department has not been affected by these rumor* to the extent of relaxing any of its precautions or abandoning any of its plans, for Secretary Long stated unequivocally to-day that Commodore Watson\u2019s eastern squadron would certainly go to Spain as soon as it oould sail.The territory surrendered to us hy General Toral makes about 5,000 square miles.The Spanish soldiers to be sent toSpaiu are estimated at 10,000 men.Major Hopkins, the military aide to Secretary Alger, to-day had spread before him a huge map of Cobs, showing the surrendered zuue turned over to the American troops.The line begins at Azerraderos, about fifteen miles west cf Santiago harbor, and then runs due north about twenty-five miles to Palmo Soriana.Had the line continued due north, it would have passed west of Holguin, thus taking the Spanish garrison at that point.Evidently General Toral wished to avoid the inclusion of Holguin, so the line turns abruptly to the northeast at Palmo end runs to the town of Baca Del Sagua, on the coast.The extreme width is about 50 miles.The Navy Department had not heard up to the close of office hours, to what extent the American fleet was participating in the Spanish surrender.With Santiago in the hand* of the Americana, the way- will be clear for Admiral Sampson\u2019s fleet to enter the harbor and proceed up to the wharves aa aoou aa the torpedoes and mines at the harbor entrance are removed.The guns of Morro Castle are included in the surrendered zone.The possession of these fine fortressess, particularly Mtrro Castle, will afford valuable garrison points for a large number of men.The terme under which these strongholds are surrendered is not yet known in detail, but it is regarded as likely that their big guns pass with the surrender.While thajeet will soon bo free to move up to Santiago, some doubt is entertained in naval circles whether any good could be ac complished by such a move, as it might sub' ject some of the sailors to the contagion existing within the city.Great attention will now be given to the care of the sick and teyer-stricken soldiers on the Island.In the opinion of the army surgeons the sick can be best treated by removal to the high ground back of ihe southern coast, where the heat is less severe and where there would be no fear of communicating disease to the rest of the army.The active pre parations made to deal with the emergency are such that it is felt the question of disease can be coped with successfully, now that the military situation has been simplified.Reporta whieh have reached the War Department, shows that there has been eome mortality among the yellow fever casee with General Shafter\u2019s army.This, however, has been slight, as it is said that up to the present time but five cases have resulted fatally.If any report of additional oases was received to-day, the officials declined to make it public.Meanwhile Surgeon Sternburg is making arrangements to supplement tno working force of immunes, physicians and nurses at Santiago.He announced to-day that on Monday a vessel would leave New York carrying an additional number of this class of workers and a large consignment of hospital supplies.Kby West, FI*.July 14-The steamers \u201cFlorida\u201d and \u201cFanita,\" under convoy of the auxiliary gunboat \u201cPeoria,\u2019\u2019 have landed the largest expedition send to the aid of the iuBurgcuts and probably' the last.It was a task beset with danger and difficulty, costing one man his life and wouuds to a half dozen otheis.Copt.Jose Manuel Nunez, brother of General Emilio Numz, was killed ; Wintlirop Chauler, of New York, was shot through the right albow and five Cubans suffered triflog injuries.How many Spanish lives ai.swticd lor this will never be known, but there were enough to balance the ecore.The debaikation was «ffVctedou J«ly Palo Alto, on the southern coast of Luba, but fighting occurred before then, but the consummation of the tark was without ishap.The \u201cFlorida\u201d and the F»ni«a left Key West on Saturday, June -o, under the convoy of the \u201cPeoria,\u201d commam -ed by Lieut.J.W.Ryan.Oa board the steamers were 350 Cubans u»deru(;«nf,ra Muntz, 50 troopers of the Tenth United States Cavalry under Lieuts.Johnson and Ahearn, and 25 Hough Riders under Win-throp Chandler, brother of ( ol.W illiam Astor Chandler.The cargoes were enormous.There were the hot ses of the cavalry, topping the list of arms were two dynamite guns with 150 thirty-pound projectiles to fit them aurt two full batteries of light field pieces, ten three-inch rifl- s of regular ordnance pattern, with 1,500 cartridges.Iu the matter of in-fantrv rifles there were 4,000 Sprmgtielos with\" 954,000 cartridges, and two hundreil Mauser», with 200,000 cartridges, hiftyof the Cubans aboard were armed with Mausers and the rest had Springfield»\tf \"umr- short range of the forts to protect a landing or cover a retreat and the small boat* headed for the shore.They reached It 500 yards east of the port.The boats were beached and their occupants cautiously scrambled towards the brush.But again they had reckoned without their host.At almost the very moment they set foot on the sands the forts and the entrenchments around it burst into flame and shell screamed about the little huddle of invaders.Capt.Nunez was stepping for his boat when a shot struck him clear between the eyes and he went down dead.Chandler fell with a broken arm.The others safely gained the thickets and replied with a sharp tire directed at the entrenchments.Meanwhile the \u201cPeoria\u201d set all her guns at work and rained shells upon the forts until the enemy\u2019s fire ceased.The moment the gunboats slackened fire, however, the Spanish fire was renewed with fury and it became evident that their forces were too large to attempt a landing there.A retreat was ordered aWtriie party ri.iked for the boats, but volley after volley came from the ehore and they were compelled to throw thctnsalvcs into the water and paddle alongside the boats with only their heads exposed until the ships were reached.The Spaniards had the range, however, and fl/a Cubans were wounded, though none se-nously.After several attempts to land, it was determined to proceed to Polo AUo, with the \u201cHelena\u201d remaining kt Los Juooe.At ten o\u2019clock Saturday night, July 2, while the \u201cHelena\u201d lay off shore making lively play with her searchlights toward the shore, the \u201cPeoria,-\u201d \u201cFlorida\u201d \u2019and the \u201cFanita,\u201d with all lights out, slipped silently away.Polo Alto was reached at daybreak.There was nota Spaniard to be seen and the men and cargo were put ashore without a single obataclc.Oa July 4 Gomez appeared.He outlined a plan of campaign which be later submitted in writing to Lieutenant Ryan for transmission to President Mc-Kinley.General Wheeler\u2019s headquarters.Before Santiago de Cuba, July 13, via Kingston,-Jamaica, July 14.It appears that on Monday General Shafter did not again demand the unconditional surrender which General Toral had refused on Sunday, but he offered as an alternative proposition to accept the capitulation of the enemy and to transport the Spanish officers and troops to Spain,-they to leave all their arms behind and there to accept their parole.It was this proposition which General Toral declined yesterday.This morning it was decided to hold a prr-sonal interview with General Toral.General Miles and his staff, who got no farther than General Shafter\u2019s headquarters last night, accompanied by General Shafter and his staff, rode out to the front shortly before three 9'clock under a flag of truce.A request for a pjrsoaal interview with the Spanish Commander-in-Chief was made and acceded to, and ut ab mt nine o\u2019clock General Miles, General Shafter, General Wheeler, General Gilmore, General Morse, Capt.Wtley and Col.Mestree rode up, passed over our entrenchments and went down into the valley beyond.They were met by General Toral and his chief of staff, under a spreading mango tree at the bottom of the valley, about half way between the lines.The interview that followed lasted almost an hour.The situation was placed frankly before General Toral and he was offered the alternative of being sent home with his garrison or leaving Santiago Province, the only condition imposed being that he should not destroy the town and should leave his arms behind.This latter condition the Spanish General, who dots not rpe&k English, explained through his ioterpreters was impossible.He said the laws of Spain gave* General no discretion.He might abandon the place when he found it untenabfe.but he could not leave his arms behind without subj-cting himself to the penalty of being court martialed and shot.His Government, he said, had granted him permission to evacuate Santiago.That was all.Further than that he was p iwerltss to go.Without saying so in words, General Miles said the tenor of General Toral\u2019s remarks all betrayed his realization that he could not hold out long.When General Shafter explained that his reinforcements were coming up, that he was completely surrounded and that new batteries were being posted, General Toral simply shrugged his shoulders.\u201cI am but a subordinate,\u201d said he, \"and I obey my Government.If it is necessary we can die at our posts.\u201d During the course of the interview General Toral said the bombardment of Sunday and Monday had done little damage.He admitted that the sheila had destroyed four houses, but he asserted that only half a dozen soldiers of the garrison had been injured.He also volunteered the information, when General Miles gallantly enquired after General Linares\u2019 condition, that the latter would probably be compelled to suffer the amputation of his left arm at the shoulder.Madrid, July 14\u2014Captain General Augustin telegraphs as follows under date of July 10 \u201cGeneral Monet\u2019s column, unable to hold out at Macabore, left iu

thought of brave \u2018Bob\u2019 Evans, of tho \u2018Iowa,\u2019 hen he said that the best place for the Spaniards was below.I think I sent a few of them there or somewhere else.\u2019\u2019 All the wounded here testify that no one fought more bravoly under Old Glory at Santiago than Chaplain Galloupe.When asked about the condition of Santiago, the \u2018fighting parson\u201d said : \u201cThe Cubans must have credit for one thing.They knew how to get ioto Santiago.They would go as peddlers and sell fruits and provisions, returning, of course, to tell us of the atreagtb of the Spaniards aud of their fortifications.Id this maimer it was learued that the citizens of Santiago, including the Archbishop of Santi>>go, the private soldiers and many of thecflicers, were in favor of surrendering the city.The Spanish generals, however, so the Cubans reported, had informed all that when Americana captured prisoners tlrey invariably put them to death.\u201cWhen this wvs learned, the Americans captured a Dumber of Spanish prisoners and treated them with every consideration, giving them the best of food snd causing tnem to have an exalted opinion of Americans and American manners.These prisoners were then allowed to escape, and the good fruits of this venture were shown at ooce.\u201cNot only privates but Spanish ctfi :ers began deserting to the Ameriotu lines and a number came in each day.The mancer in which the Spaniards fought was terrible and disgraceful.Red Cross flags were placed on all the principal buildings of Santiago in order to prevent tiring on the city, and amboscaders lay in wait for Americans, protected by Red Cross flags.\u2018\u2022We advanced toward one blockhouse, from which a Red Cross flag was flyiog, never giviix it any attention, and when we arrived nearu, a fire poured out from nndsr the flvg.A number of our men wire killed iu this vollty.The surgeons with our men showed me explosive bullets, split bullets and brass prcj-fctlles, the latter causing blood poison to those hit by them.The missiles aie not recognized in civilized warfare, and as a consequence I took off my Red Cross flag\u2014it was no protection to me, anyway\u2014and buckled on a pistol.It was a case of self-preservation.I was obliged to protect myself.\u201d The R :v.Dw:gbt Galloupe in one of the best-known pulpit orators in New Jersey.Although

was declared he otlered his ser vices as chaplain to the President and begged for an assignment that would take him to the front.He was commissioned post chap lain in the regular army with the rank of captain, and was ordered to join the Ninth Infantry at Tampa.He left Newark on May 8, after an affectionate parting from his congregation and his young wife.JACKSON S FIRST DUEL.blood asserted

herds ahd inhabitants of the neighboring valley of Roocal, on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, one thirteenth July in the twelfth century.The delegates of Baretous bring a tribute of three heifers to the men of Roncal, and wait whilst the latter express their defiance of French aggression by firing shots and hurling lances in the direction of the French frontier.Ghristiau-iniaded folk will be apt to think that any such ceremony of national humiliation and national defiance has lasted quite lung enough, and ia out of date to-day.This same conclusion has just now been oome to by the Franco-Spauish Pyrenean Commissiofi, which has decided that though the tribute of heifers n still to be annually paid, they are, nevertheless, to be driven into the village quietly, aud all the

duel, and ÉB himself never oared to speak of the matter in later years; but some years ago a granddaughter of Col.Waitatill Avery told me the full story.Waitatill Avery was a Massachusetts man who went to North Carolina, carrying with him a letter of recommendation from uo lees a personage than Jonathan Edwards.He soon acquired reputation and inflaenoe, and in time became Attorney General of the State.It was his custom to take students of law into his family, who became tutors of his children.In 1874, when Andrew Jackson was but seventeen years old, and ambitious to become a lawyer, he applied for this situation.The tradition is that he was refused because a daughter of Avery\u2019s took a dislike ta his uncouth appearance.Young Jackson next applied to Spruce MoCay, »| lawyer in Salisbury, N C., in whose office he was fitted for the bar, and he shortly made his appearance in the courts.When Jackson was 21 years of age he and Avery met in the trial of a case at Junesboro, Tenu.It was Jackson\u2019s habit to carry in his saddle-bags a copy of \u201cBacon\u2019s Abridgment,\u201d and to make frequent appeals to it in his cases.This precious book was always carefully done up in coarse brown paper, such as grocers used before the neat paper bags of the present day were invented.The unwrapping of this much-priztd volume before a court was a very solemn function, as performed by J&ckscn.Now, Avery had by this timo dropped whatever of Puritan sedatencss had commended him to Jonathan Elwards, ana was uncommonly fond of a joke.He procured a piece of bacou just ihe size of the book, and while Jackson was addressing the Court he slipped out the volume from its wrapping aud substituted the bacon.At length Jackson had occasion to appeal to Lord Bacon.It was au important case, a .d be would not trust to his memory.He would confound bis opponent by reading fio;n the book itseif.While still talking, he raised the bearskin flap of his saddle-bag, drew out the brown paper package, carefully untied the string, unlobltd the paper with the decorous gravity of a priest handling the holy things of the altar, aud then, without looking at what he held iu his baud, exclaimed triumpliant\u2019iy, \u201cWe will now see what Bacon says !\u201d The Court, bar, jury and spectators were convulsed with laughter before Jacksun saw the trick that had beeu played on him.Of course, he was furious.He snatched a pen, aud on the blank leaf of a law-book wrote a peremptory challenge, which he delivered then aud there.He asked for no apology \u2014 nothing but blood would do.Ho commanded Avery to select a friend and arrange for the meeting at once.Avery made no answer lo this peremptory j »:-.*in*»o'J, thinking bis peppery kolagoniet, i would laugh jo».1er.Ku i.u
