(Copyright, IWR, by the Associated Press.) SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 18. via Kingston, Jamaica, July 19, 11:15 a. m.—The events preceding the hoisting of the American flag over the governor's palace here; amid the booming of guns, the strains of martial music ano the wild chering of twenty thousand men along seven., miles of Intrenchments, were - full •of interest. Shortly after 6. o’clock an. Alaoday..morning Lieutenant Crook, of General Shatter's staff, entered the city and all the arms in the arsenal were turned over to him. The work of removing the mines which obstructed navigation at the entrance of the harbor had been progressing- all- night. At about 7 o’clock General Toral, the Spanish commander, sent his sword to General Shatter as evidence of his submission, and at 8:45 a. m. all the general officers and their staffs assembled a* General Shafter's headquarters. Each regiment was drawn up along the crest of the heights. General Shatter and his generals, with mounted escorts of 100 picked men of the Second Cavalry, then rode over our trenches to the open ground at the foot of the hill on, the main road to Santiago, midway to the then deserted Spanish works. There they were met by General Toral and his staff, all In full uniform and mounted, and m select detachment of Spanish troops. What followed took place In full view of our troops. The. scene was picturesque and dramatic. General Shatter, with his generals and staffs grouped immediately in the reah and with the troops of cavalrymen with drawn sabers on the left, advanced to meet the vanquished foe. After a few words of courteous greeting, General Shafter’s first act was to return General Toral's sword. The Spanish general appeared to be touched by the complimentary words with which General Shatter accompanied this action, and he thanked the American commander feelingly. Then followed a short conversation as to the place selected for the Spanish forces to deposit their arms, and a Spanish Infantry detachment marched forward to a position facing our cavalry, where the Spaniards halted. The latter were without their colors. Eight Spanish trumpeters then saluted and were saluted tn return by our trumpeters, both giving flourishes for lieutenant generals and major generals.

LIKE THE DEAD MARCH. General Toral then personally ordered the Spanish company, which, in miniature, represented the forces under his command, to ground arms. Next, by his direction, the company wheeled and marched across our line into the road, and thence to the .place selected for camping them. The Spaniards moved rapidly to the quick notes of the Spanish march, played by the trumpeters, but it impressed one like the “Dead March” from Saul, Although no attempt was made to humiliate them, the Spanish soldiers seemed to feel their disgrace keenly, and scarcely glanced at their conquerors as they passed by. But this apparent depth of feeling was not displayed by the other regiments. Without being sullen, the Spaniards appeared to he utterly indifferent to the reverses suffered by the Spanish arms, and some of them, when not under the eyes of their officers, seemed to rejoice at the prospect of good food and an immediate return to Spain. General Toral throughout the ceremony was sorely dejected. When General Shafter introduced him by name to each member of his staff the Spanish general appeared to be a very broker, man. He seems to be about sixty years of age and of frail constitution, though stern resolution is shown by every feature. The lit.es are strongly marked and his face is deep drawn, as .if .in physical pain. General Toral replied with an air of abstraction to the words addressed to him, and when he accompanied General Shafter, at the head of the escoft. into the city to take formal possession of Santiago, General Toral spoke bqt few word#*- The appealing faces of the starving refugees streaming hack Into the city did not move him, nor did the groups of Spanish soldiers lining the road and gazing curiously at the fairskinned. stalwart-framed conquerors. Only once did the faint shadow of a smile lurk about the corners of his mouth. This was when the cavalcade passed through a barbed wire entanglement. No body of infantry cr.uld ever have got through this defense alive, and General Shafter's remark about Its resisting power found the first gratifying echo In the defeated generals heart. THRICE BARRICADED AND WIRED. Further along the desperate character rf s the Spanish resistance, as planned, amazed our officers. Although primitive, it was well done. Each approach to the city was thrice barricaded and wired, and the barricade* were high enough and sufficiently •tmng to withstand shrapnel. The slaughter among our troops would have been frightful had It ever become necessary to •torm the city. Around the hospitals and

public buildings, and along the west side of the line there were additional works and emplacements for guns, though no guns were mounted in them. Tne streets of Santiago are crooked, narrow lines of one-story houses, most of which are very dilapidated; but every veranda of every house was thronged by its curious Inhabitants and disarmed soldiers. They were mostly of the lower classes. Few expressions of any kind were heard along the route. Here and there was a shout for free Cuba from some Cuban sympathizer, but, as a rule, there were only mutterings. The better class of Spaniards remained indoors or satisfied their curiosity from behind drawn blinds. Several Spanish ladies in tumble-down carriages averted their faces as we passed. The squalor in. the streets was frightful. The bones of dead horses and other animals were bleaching in the streets and buzzards, as tame as sparrows, hopped aside to let v.s pass. The windows of the hospitals, in which there are over 1,500 sick men, were crowded with invalids, who dragged themselves there to witness our incoming. In one square a relic of an old merry-go-round toid of happier days, but on every side there were evidences of the pitiless siege and of starvation. The palace was reached soon after 10 o’clock. There General Toral introduced General Shafter and the other American generals to the alcalde. Senor Forrer, and .o the chief of police, Senor Guiltillerez, as well as to the other municipal authorities. Luncheon was then served at the palace. The meal consisted mainly of rum, wine, coffee, rice and toasted cake. This scant fare occasioned many apologies on the part of the Spaniards, hut it spoke eloquently of their heroic existence. The supply of the city was exhausted and the Spaniards had nothing to live on except rice, upon which the soldiers in the trenches of Santiago have subsisted for the last twelve days. In addition, the water supply of the city had been cut off for the last few days. Since the refugees left Santiago and the surrender of the city was seen to be inevitable, a reign of terror has existed. The city’s business was stopped, the stores were closed and the troops were seemingly allowed license to sack and plunder at will. At noon, after the American flag had been raised, General Shafter turned the city over to General McKlbbln, who, with th 4 Ninth Infantry, will enforce order in conjunction with the civil authorities. The Spanish soldiers are encamped between the lines, on the reverse slope of the hill, on which are our intrenchments. Many of them believe, as they have been "told so, that the United States has purchased the island of Cuba, and that our government will pay them their arrears of pay and return them to Spain. They repudiate the idea that they have surrendered.

TO WED W. W. ASTOR. Widow of Ogden Goelet Has Caught the Self-Expatriated American. NEW YORK, July 19.—The Journal prints the following story of the coming union of two millionaire families: What has been for some time verbally rumored in New York and Newport society has at last got into print—and that is that the handsome and ambitious widow of the late Ogden Goelet is to become the wife of William Waldorf Astor, who was once an American, but who now lives in England and distributes there the surplus revenue of his immense American estates. It is little more than a year since Ogden Goelet died on board the yacht White Ladye, at that time lying in English waters. Mrs. Goelet has since then been almost constantly in England. Lately she has occupied the fine Warwick mansion in Green Park, and as the dark night of early widowhood began to pale into the dawn of a renewed interest in things not wholly funereal she has received guests within her#hospitable doors and given entertainments in a subdued sort of way from time to time. And. now comes the flat-footed assertion that she is to cast aside the widow's weeds entirely and to emerge as the brilliant mistress of Cliveden and the wife of Mr. Asrtor. If this be true, then it may be the scene of many brilliant festivities, for both Mrs. Goelet and Mr. Astor are socially ambitious and between them have a tidy little income running somewhere up into the millions. Mrs. Goelet is the eldest daughter of Richard F. Wilson. Tne marriage took place in the Wilson home, in Park avenue, twenty-one years ago, and was quite a social event in its way. Pretty much all of New York, viewed rrom the standpoint of the late Ward McAllister, was there, and the bride and groom, after a honeymoon trip to Lurope, returned here and occupied a conspicuous place in the McAllisteriun scheme of the universe. Mr. Goelet's health, however, was not of the best, so the entertainments of the Goelet mansion were rather more noted tor their quiet exclusiveness than their magnitude. The Goelet home was at the southwest coiner of Fifth avenue and Forty-ninth street, and was one of the handsomest in the city. The bronzes within its walls were said to be the finest in the country, and were worth a prince’s ransom. Mr. and Mrs. Goelet began to spend much of their time abroad some years ago. Their last visit to this country was on the occasion of the marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough. Their house was made ready for the season, but Mr, Goeiet’s health was so bad that they went abroad again, taking their daughter, who was then to have been introduced to New York society, with them. Miss Goelet was presented at one of the Queen's drawing rooms a year ago last spring. By the terms of Mr. Goeiet’s will Mrs. Golei received an income of 8150,000 a year, the use of the New York and Newport houses and their contents, the Goelet opera box and horses and carriages for life, with the sum of S3OO,OQp if she chose to give up the town house. Mr. Goelet left the bulk of his fortune to his children direct. Miss May Goelet has an independent private fortune of $20,000,000. She is reputed to be the richest young spinster in the world and is withal very beautiful and accomplished. She is nineteen years of age. The fortune of William Waldorf Astor is roughly estimated at $100,000,000, and his net income at something like $3,000,000 a year. He pays taxes in this city on s2.otX>,ooo. He is a widower of a few years’ longer date than Mrs. Goeiet’s widowhood, his wife having died shortly after his purchase of the fine estate of Cliveden. Mrs. Goelet is a sister of Mrs. Michael Henry Herbert, of England: of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., and of Mr. Orme Wilson. whose wife is the youngest daughter of the late William Astor. So she is remotely connected by marriage with William Waldorf Astor. Patriotic German Baptist*. BUFFALO. N. Y., July id.—The German Baptist Young People's Union held another session this morning, at which a number of addresses were delivered, the subject being, “Our Young People’s Union in Its Object.” At the afternoon session "Soul Saving" was discussed by the delegates. The convention has adopted a series of patriotic resolutions, rejoicing that a large number of GermanAmerican young men are enrolled in the American army and navy, and deploring the "unreasonable attitude of the German press with regard to the motives that prompted President and representatives at Washington to demand the liberation of a downtrodden people in Cuba.” Hotel Proprietor Killed. ASHEVILLE. N. C.. July 19.-R. W. Taylor. proprietor of the Oaks Hotel, was killed to-night by John Corey, of Decatur, 111. Corey, who was a smest at the hotel, took the part of the clerk in a dispute over a bill. This angered Taylor and in the quartet which ensued he was killed.

FIRED THE MAGAZINE * FIVE TONS OF GIANT POWDER SET OFF BY A CHINESE MURDERER, Who Had Sought Refuge in a Building Containing: the Explosive and Defied the Authorities. SEVEN LIVES BLOTTED OUT © FIVE OFFICERS, A WOMAN AND THE DESPERATE CELESTIAL. Fnse Works Destroyed, Many Structures Wholly or Partly Wrecked, and 14 Cars Blown to Splinters. © OAKLAND, Cal., July 19.—The works of the Western Fuse and Explosive Company were blown up by a murderous Chinaman at 5:20 o’clock this morning. Five deputy sheriffs and constables who were trying to arrest the murderer were killed. The Chinaman and a woman were also killed. The dead are: CHARLE3 WHITE, deputy sheriff, a son of the sheriff. GEORGE WOODS, deputy sheriff. D. C. CAMERON, deputy sheriff. GUS KOCK. constable. J. J. LERRI, constable. MRS. HILL GOON NG CHUNG. The Chinaman had fortified himself in the magazine and blew it up when the attempt to arrest him was made. He was emplojed in the works and had killed a fellow-coun-tryman yesterday afternoon in a quarrel over a Chinese lottery ticket. He then defied the officers who went to arrest him. The murderer fled into the magazine, which contained five tons of giant powder, barricaded himself and threatened to blow up the magazine if any one came to arrest him. Deputy Sheriff White, in charge of a posse consisting of Constables Kock and Jerri, Deputy Sheriffs George Woods and D. C. Cameron, and Deputy Constable Harry Framer, were on the scene of the shooting shortly after the murder, and kept guard over the Chinaman within his stronghold. All the officers were armed with rifles. After repeated demands to surrender had been made, to all of which the same reply came: “If you come in here I will blow up the magazine.” The officers retired for the night within the private office of the company, about twenty yards away. This morning at 5 o’clock Deputy Sheriff White, after a consultation with the others, determined to break down the barricade, not believing the Chinaman would carry out his threat. Accordingly, the entire posse headed for the door. True to his word, the Chinaman fired the giant powder, and in an instant, a terrific explosion occurred, killing five officers and blowing the Chinaman to atoms. His body was fearfully mangled. Kock was also badly disfigured, but lived long enough to be taken to the hospital in the patrol wagon. Mrs. Hill was visiting a Mrs. Pride, who lived across the way. She was killed in the falling debris of the building. All the buildings took fire. Engines were soon fighting the flames, but to no avail. The works were completely wrecked. Four houses were also blown down and about forty partially wrecked. Deputy Sheriff Fred Sherrett and Deputy' Ed White escaped, but are painfully wounded. Deputy Sheriff Sheritt’s story is to the effect that at 5 o’clock this morning the Chinaman called to Deputy Sheriff White that he would surrender. White, Woods and Kock immediately proceeded to the dcor, while the others followed. Just as the door was reached the sound as of a falling plank was heard and then the explosion occurred. The name of the. Chinaman was Goon Ng Chung. The man he murdered was Ham Si Sing. Coroner Wadeni and a corps of deputies are searching through the surrounding fields for the remains. In some instances they had to be picked up with shovels. Fourteen cars were blown to splinters and several were burned. Windows were broken in Oakland, Alameda and as far as Berkley. One of the most thrilling stories is that told by Fred Sherritt, whose escape was simply marvelous. He said: “With the other deputy sheriffs, we kept as close to the powder house as we thought advisable. Occasionally one of us would go toward the door and assure the Chinaman that we would not hurt him if he came out. The fellow would invariably reply that he would blow up the place if we attempted to take him. Late last night he repeated his threat so often that the people around there thought j would do it and many moved out of their homes. Had they not done so they would be dead, for their homes are scattered over many acres. We hung around all night, and just as daybreak appeared Charley White urged a Chinaman to tell the fellow to come out. He would not do so, but shortly after 5 o’clock he told us he would walk out and give us no more trouble. As soon as the fellow made his appearance at the door of the place CharleyWhite and Kock walked toward him to make the arrest. Ed White and I followed them about eighty feet behind. They were almost at the door when Goon closed it with a bang. Less than a second later I was being carried with a cloud of debris and earth swiftly over the ground. My face was cut and my clothes torn, and I cannot understand how it happened that Ed White and myself were not killed, as some of those killed were further away than we. I have no doubt that as soon as the door was closed Goon fired his pistol into the powder. Five minutes after the explosion everything was on fire, including a train of box cars.” Sherritt and Ed White are complete nervous wrecks. They were carried over forty feet by- the force of the explosion and thrown violently to the ground. Separating Honse Destroyed. HANNIBAL. Mo.. July 19.—The separating house at the Hercules powder works, located twelve miles below this city, on the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern • Railroad. has been blown up as a result of the acid becoming heated. Two employes were # in the building, but they had warning and escaped before the explosion occurred. The building was demolished. No estimate of damage has been made as yet, but the principal loss will be the closing of the plant. Only giant powder and similar explosives are manufactured at the plant.

IRON MINES TO RESUME. Work Will Be Given the Destitute People Near Santiago. NEW’ YORK, July 19.—“ Santiago de Cuba under the American flag means the immediate resumption and a large increase in the future of the iron and steel trade with that section of the island,” says the Baltimore correspondent of the Tribune. "The stock of the Juragua and the Poncepo mining companies is largely held in Baltimore. Most of the Bessemer ore which is mined at Santiago has been coming to this city. Until the supply was shut off the works of the Maryland Steel Company were run exclusively on this ore. and the commercial success of a tidewater steel plant Mike the one of the Maryland Steel Company requires the Cuban ores because of their value in making steel and of their cheapness. While the mines were in operation from three to four cargoes of ore came to Baltimore each week, and the monthly importa-

tions ran from 30,900 to 40,000 tons. While most of this was consumed at the works of the Maryland Steel Company, some of it was sent to Pittsburg and used in the Carnegie steel works. When the Spanish officers stopped the work in the mines they cut off the opportunities of thousands to earn a livelihood and heightened the distress resulting from the war. Iron men and shippers here say that if the people are now permitted by the American government to return to their works such a policy will do more toward relieving the suffering Cubans than any other step on the part of this country. A general resumption of work on the plantations, the railroads and in the mines would simplify the problem of taking care of the territory which is now under the American flag. The superintendents of several of the iron companies are now on their way to Santiago to resume operations.” WHALERS ALL SAFE. Ice-ImprlMoned Sailors Had Plenty of Reindeer to Eat. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 19,-The Call prints the news that the crews of the whaling vessels at Point Barrow, to whose relief an expedition was sent on the revenue cutter Bear, are in good condition, and ail were in no danger of famine. Lieutenants Jarvis and Berthold and Dr. GalJ, of the Bear, reached Point Barrow by dog teams and with T. Lopp, a school teacher, of Cape Prince of Wales, drove a team of four hundred reindeer a distance of 550 miles to Point Barrow. Mr. Lopp reached Point Barrow March 30, and found that the imprisoned whalers had plenty of provisions. The whalers undoubtedly owe their lives to the efforts of Charles Brewer, agent at Point Barrow of the Liebes Trading Company, who sent natives out to shoot wild reindeer. The natives killed seven hundred deer and food was plentiful all winter.

MANY CUBANS STARVING © MUCH SUFFERING IN THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE ISLAND. * Suicide Preferred to Slow Death by Faailne—Comments of Havana Press on Phases of the War. © (From a Spanish Correspondent—Copyright.) HAVANA, July 2.—ln a diary of events in the Island of Cuba, kept by a Spaniard in this city, there are recorded the following under date of June 28: “Six hundred and sixty-nine retail provision dealers went to-day to the grocery exchange, but bought nothing. Correspondence from the interior of the island says that the misery in some quarters is horrible. Some people have committed suicide, because they had no means to feed their families; provisions are so high that the daily salary of a workingman is not enough to buy the most necessary articles of food. “It is reported from Nuevitas that a steamship from Bordeaux, France, has arrived there, bringing 28,000 bags of flour and rico and sixty hogshead of codfish. “The Spanish minister of marine has sent, in the name of the Queen Regent, a cablegram of congratulation on the safe arrival in Cuba of the Reina Marie Cristina, Capt. Justo Arejula, which reached Cienfuegos last week. “Senor Vassalo, civil governor of the province of Puerto Principe, has sent an energetic circular to all the mayors of the towns of that province, ordering that extra vigilance be observed with reference to the conditions of all articles of food sold. The unripe fruits, as well as the great quantities of meat and horse flesh, have developed many diseases among the poorer classes. "The municipality of Puerto Principe has sent a message of thanks to Senor Telesforo Garcia, of the Mexican Spanish patriotic junto, for the provisions he has sent to Chmaguey. “The Cuban council of secretaries yesterday approved the statute relative to the suspension of eviction suits for nonpayment of rent, prolonging the enforcement of the act until Sept. 1, 1898. The suspension of eviction suits for nonpayment of rent has been enforced at Regia and Guanabacao also. "General Blanco has issued a bando, enforcing the bando of General Arolas relative to the prices of provisions, which has been abrogated. “It is rumored that three big transatlantic steamers have arrived at the island from Spain with provisions and money. “June 30—Yesterday a freight train from Batabano arrived here with 117 bags of coffee, 142 bags of chickpeas, 486 bags of rice and 312 bags of black beans. "It is reported from Cardenas that twen-ty-nine retail provision dealers have been arrested for failure to obey the orders given by the military commander of that place. “A report from Matanzas says that in the cistern of a house on Santa Teresa street were found the head, skin and tail of a dog that had been killed, and the flesh of which had been sold for food.” MONEY TO PAY” TROOPS. On board the transatlantic steamers which arrievd at Cuban ports recently from Spain were shipments of money to pay in gold the Spanish army. There arrived here yesterday afternoon by the railroads the following consignments: One thousand cases of hog lard, 599 cases of codfish, 50 barrels of codfish, 240 bags of chickens, 22 bags of lentiles, 36 bags of rice, 495 bags of black beans, 538 bags of corn, 683 bags of flour, 140 bags of French beans and 220 bags of coffee. La Caridad, a charity society established on the ground floor of the bishop’s palace, has had to close business because they have no more rice or flour to distribute. It was distributing ox food to over two thousand children. It is officially reported that an American supply boat ran ashore at Punta Osney, province of Santa Clara. Two American gunboats tried to get her afloat and tow her away, but they were unable to do so. The American ships yesterday, July 1, appeared off Manzanillo and opened fire on the city, but were repulsed by the Spanish gunboats after an hour’s fighting. It is reported from Manzanillo that the situation there is bad. There is little communication with other places, provisions are very scarce and there is a great quantity of paper money which is so much undervalued that the people do not know how to quote it. Letters from Managua and Havana province say the situation there is horrible. It is reported that an insurgent band, after cutting the telephone wire connecting Mana r gua with Havana, attacked the fort and was repulsed by the garrison. The military commander of Pinar del Rio has issued a decree in which it is commanded: First, to judge as unfaithful all those who, knowing where a meeting takes place, or a junto holds a session, do not denounce the names of those who belpng to the junto; second, also will be tried as traitors to the country the families or persons who have charge of any store, who do not denounce their relatives or clerks of the latter that intend, or have already gone to join the insurgents; third, the families of persons who have disappeared from the locality and do not give the exact place where such a person might be found, will be expelled from the province according to the cases; fourth, will be punished as traitors or concealers by the military code, all who, receiving proclamations or other documents inciting rebellion, do not deliver them at once to the military commander: fifth, all those who circulate false or alarming news will be arrested and taken to the eommandancy, where they will be tried by the military code, according to the kind of news they have circulated.” The secretary of finance has given notice that all the public employes will be paid jin gold coin, less 10 per cent., or in silver ©r paper money that will be the equivalent of the compensation in gold. This measure has been taken on account of the little value of the paper money. It is reported from Guinos, Havana province, that a sweet potato plantation was attacked last Saturday by two hundred country people, who claimed that while they were starving the sweet potatoes raised in the locality were being taken to Havana. The owner of the plantation reported to the authorities what was happening to his property ar.d a guerrilla detachment was stnt to the place and took the raiders into the presence of the military commander, who gave them the potatoes found upon them and promised that no more vegetables would be taken to Havana. The prisoners

were set at liberty at once and some of them went to the railroad station to see that no sweet potatoes were taken from the locality. The Cuban Chamber resumed its sessions to-day. NEWSPAPER COMMENTS. A commenting on the war undertaken by the United States against Spain in the name of humanity says that if the money already spent by the Americans in war had beer, employed in helping the reconcentrados the latter, notwithstanding the “irregularities of Consul General Lee and other politicians,” would be eating partridge and drinking champagne. The same paper, in an editorial based upon the report that the American commodore, Watson, will take a squadron to the Spanish coast and bombard the forts, says the rumor is “mere nonsense.” This is the argument: “The lowa, one of the vessels 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. But even supposing she can get coal enough, what would be the American base of operations? If the American vessels were damaged, where would they be repaired? As for bombarding ports, the answer to that is Cadiz, Barceolna and all the ports of Spain are well fortified and in condition to repel any attack by the American fleet. Such a resolution, if it has been taken, is due to a desire of the American government to satisfy clamorous spirits in the United States now greatly excited over the news that the second Spanish naval division under Admiral Camara is on the way to the Philippines, where it will most likely defeat tlye American squadron under Commodore Dewey. The American government has tried to persuade the American people that the sending to Spain of a squadron under Watson will compel the squadron of Admiral Camara to return for the defense of Spanish ports, so that Dewey's fleet will be saved and there will be no danger that American ports in the Pacific will be bombarded by Camara.” A cablegram just received from Madrid says that in August the Cortes will meet again to consider a matter of the highest importance. This has been much commented on in all circles and has caused considerable anxiety among many who, until now, have shown no lack of confidence. El Pais laments the brevity of the news from Madrid and the fact that such dispatches as are published often appear go obscurely. Nevertheless, it believes that the dispatch in question does not justify any doubts of alarm, because neither Senor Sagasta and his Liberal colleagues nor the Conservatives w r ho might succeed him in power would propose any solutions of international questions that were not in agreement with the general feeling of the people of Spain and Cuba. El Pais suggests that the meeting of the Spanish chambers in August is probably Intended to procure legislative sanction to negotiations by the executive for money for war necessities. This conjecture, El Pais says, agrees With the report from London as to the payments due on the Spanish debt. The autonomists, despite all the favorable assurances given them, are very much dissatisfied w T ith the outlook as it appears from an editorial in yesterday’s El Pais. They realize that their twenty years of work and sacrifices for their ideals are all but useless and that they will never enjoy the fruits of their labors, seeing that what they have done is likely to redound to the benefit of the United States. There is anew and radical change noticeable among the producing element, especially the plantation owners and merchants, who have their interests in close touch with the United States. For them the only solution of the problem which will save Cuba is annexation. In their opinion there is no other way to prevent Cuba coming to a complete state of anarchy, because independence would never be a guarantee of true peace, but merely a source of future selfish ambition, social discords and political perturbation.

Spanish Cruiser Snnto Domingo Destroyed by the Gunboat Eugle. KEY "WEST, Fla., July 19.—1 t was definitely established to-day that the Spanish steamer Santo Domingo, of 5,550 tons, was fired on and run ashore at Cape Francis by the auxiliary gunboat Eagle on July 12. The Eagle sighted her close to the shore early in the morning and opened fire with her six-pounders, sending seventy shots at her, nearly all of which took effect. While this was going on another steamer came out of the bay and took off the officers and crew of the Santo Domingo. When the men from the Eagle boarded the latter they found that she carried two live-inch and two twelve-inch gun3, the latter being loaded and her magazines opened. The steamer had been drawing twenty-four feet of water and had gone aground in twenty feet. The men from the Eagle decided that the steamer could not be floated, and she was set on fire after fifty head of cattle which were on board had been shot. The Santo Domingo carried a large cargo of grain, corn, etc. While the steamer was burning the vessel which had previously taken off the crew emerged from the bay and tried to get off some of the cargo, but failed. The Spanish steamer burned for three days and was totally destroyed.
