Fourth Expedition to the Phil
ippine Islands
Sailed From San Francisco Amid
Great Enthusiasm.
TO STOP AT HONOLULU
And Participate in the Annexa
tion Ceremonies.
Remaining Troops Ordered To
Follow as Soon as Possible.
San Francisco, July 16. Shortly after
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Major
General Otis from his flagship, the City
of Puebla, signalled the transport Peru
to get under way. The signals were
understood by the anxious watchers
on shore and by those who had sur
rounded the two ivessels in small boats
and were received with great cheer
ing. As the two vessels got under
way the cheering increased in volume,
and to the accompaniment of hun
dreds of steam whistles and the firing
of bombs and cannon the two vessels
proceeded slowly down the bay, past
the water front and out to sea. The
vessels had some difficulty making
their way through the maze of small
boats which constantly interfered with
their progress until they attained such
speed that nothing but the powerful
tug boats loaded with friends and rel
atives of the several commands kept
pace with them.
The soldiers on the transports
crowded into the rigging and answered
the cheering of the civilians with
hearty good will and responded to the
dipping (lags of the merchant vessels
by waving their hats and handker
chiefs. As the two vessels and the small
fleet going with them passed the forts
the big guns from the batteries sent
forth their thunder in salute to which
the transports responded with their
steam sirens. Long before dusk the
last good-byes had been said to the de
parting vessels from the decks of tug
boats and the heavily laden transports
proceeded on their way to Honolulu,
where they will participate in the an
nexation ceremonies, and take on fresh
provisions and refill their coal bunkers.
Major General Otis and staff have
their headquarters on the City of
Peubla. which also carried the remain
ing companies of the Fourteenth
United States infantry, recruits of the
first and second battalions of the Eigh
teenth and Twenty-third re;ments. en
listed men of the First Xorth Dakota,
First Wyoming and First Idaho, med
ical officers and members of the hos
pital corps, a total of 843 men.
The troops to go on the Peru consist
of the squadron of the Fouith United
States cavalry, light batteries of the
Sixth T'nited States artillery, a detach
ment of the Third United States ar
tillery, a detachment of the signal
corps under Captain Russell, a detach
ment of volunteers, medical officers
and members of the hospital corps,
about 920 men.
The last orders of General Otis be
fore leaving were that the remaining
transports should sail as soon as pos
sible, irrespective of fleets or other ex
pected vessels. Each one. he said,
should go by itself if necessary. Sur
prisingly quick work has been done on
the Pennsylvania and City of Rio, de
Janeiro. They are both nearly ready,
and will probably be prepared to sail
by next Thursday. The loading of the
commissary stores on these two vessels
began to-day.
Brigadier General H. G. Otis has
finally been selected to command the
fifth expedition to Manila. His fleet
will consists of the steamers Rio de
Janeiro, St. Paul and Pennsylvania.
The war department has instructed
General Otis to relieve the First Utah
cavalry from the expected duty in the
Philippines and to transfer the troop
to the department of Major General
Merriam.
ALL LEFT TO DEWEY.
Ho is to Tak-5 Care of the Germans in
the Philippines.
Washington, July 16. The fact that
our government has been engaged in a
vigorous correspondence with the Ger
man government through Ambassador
White has given rise to the assumption
that the state department has been
making representations to Germany on
the subject of the conduct of the Ger
man naval commanders in the Philip
pines. This, however, is erroneous- the
correspondence in question relating to
old and troublesome issues the ex
clusion decrees of the German govern
ment directed against United States
ilog products.
It appears that, acting on very scant
evidences, as it was regarded by our
officials, the German customs officers
have denied admission into Germany
to a very large and valuable consign
ment of boned hams from a Chicago
packing establishment of the highest
reputation. The matter has been placed
in the hands of Ambassador White to
deal with, he being thoroughly familiar
with all the aspects of the meat ex
clusion decree.
The attitude assumed bv the German
naval commander in the Philippines is
without doubt a serious menace.
The spirit of quibbling as between
the insurgents and American forces in
the Philippines, attributed to the Ger
man government by its own papers, is
far from satisfactory to a government
like ours, accustomed to deal fairly
frankly and openly in international is
sues, instead of adopting underhand
courses. Still our government is satis
fied that its interests are safe in the
hands of Admiral Dewey and is ad
hering to its original intention of allow
ing him a free hand to deal with the
situation.
Until he himself asks for action on
the rwrt of the government it is not the
purpose to make any representations
regarding the Philippines to the Ger
man government.
Admiral Dewey's recent mail com
munication to the navy department
has given the most generous recogni
tion to all those who participated in
any way on board the American ships
during the battle of Manila, including
a specific recommendation as to the
Chinese who are serving in various
minor capacities. This recommendation
affecting a matter of citizenship was
turned over by the navy to the state de
partment, where the following state
ment was made today:
"In further proof of the nobility of
character of Admiral Dewey is his
recommendation to the United States
government that the Chinese servants
and other Chinese who were on the
chips of his squadron during the battle
at Manila, and who rendered most ef
ficient service on that occasion and be
haved in a most exemplary manner, be
recognized by this government in some
ubstantial manner. He seems to think
that men who have battled for our
country should not be excluded from it.
In referring to these Chniese, he says
that they showed such courage and
energy in the face of the enemy that
they were certainly worthy to be ac
corded the same privileges as citizens
of other countries who have not ex
posed their lives in the country in which
they seek citizenship. He decided in
favor of recognizing the brave and use
ful Chinese in such a way as shall ad
mit them to the United States in case
they desire to enter it and to become
the citizens of it."
THE LARGEST BOND
Issued Under the War Loan "Will Be
$5,000.
Washington, July 16. Assistant Secre
tary Vanderlip says the corrected fig
ures show that the total subscriptions to
the war bond issue amount In round num
bers, including syndicate bids, to $1,365,
000.000. Mr. Vanderlip stated that those sub
script! jns for amounts below $5,000 will be
allotted, those for exactly mat amuum.
will be awarded part of It. and the sub
scriptions for more th;in Sj.OuO will be re-
iected The subscriptions for amounts
above Sr.00 will total S7TO.o00.0uO. cre
tarv Gage said that the first issue of the
bonds would oe maue i" me
present month and from that time for
wrrd shipments would be made up to the
full capacity of the bureau of engraving
and printing. i,:v,
in due course the successful subscrib
ers will be officially advised of the accept
ance of their subscriptions, and all those
fortunate ones ought to receive such ad
vices by August 1. or at the latest tor the
most remote points by August a.
The official notice will cover full par
ticulars as to how to make payment and
thus misunderstandings and derangements
will be avoided.
JIUKAT HALSTEAD ILL
Goes Into a Hospital at Honolulu for
Treatment
Honolulu, July 8, via San Francisco.
July 16. Murat Halstead, the famous
politician, editor and historian, is in this
city. He arrived by the transport New
port. Since leaving San Francisco Mr.
Halstead has been suffering with a
slow fever and soon after reaching Hon
olulu, was transferred from the ship to
the local hospital, where he is likely to
remain for some days to come. He may
decide to return to San Francisco unless
a marked change in his condition takes
place soon. Both the Valencia and New
port have arrived. The Valencia ar
rived first followed closely by the New
port. There was a slight accident to
the machinery of the latter on the way
down as a result of which she was
hove to for seven hours. As soon as she
arrived it was given out that she would
repair as soon as possible and hurry to
Manila without regard to the other
vessels.
At 5:30 this morning the Indiana
raisect anchor and moved outside the
harbor. She was followed closely by
the Ohio and Morgan City. At 9:30 the
City of Para moved outside and joined
the fleet. Just before noon the Valencia
and Newport, the latter with General
Merritt and staff on board, left the
harbor, the signal to sail was given and
the vessels moved off.
Before dark the Indiana, the flagship,
returned accompanied by the rest of the
fleet with the exception of the Newport
which went on ahead. The officers of
the Indiana reported that the boilers
had sprung a ieait, necestsi turns
turn It will take twelve hours to make
the repairs. The fleet will make another
start early tomorrow morning.
YELLOW FEVER EXPERT.
Major Sommers "With 25 Men Leaves
for Hospital Service.
Camp Alger, July 16. Major Thomas
O. Sommers and twenty-five men of the
Second Tennessee regiment have left
Camr. Alsrer en route to Cuba to take
charge of the hospital for yellow fever
patients at Santiago. Major Sommers
is an expert in the matter of yellow
fever and malarial fevers. He treated
and saved 1.500 patients during the epi
demic of 1S78-79.
The twenty-five men who go witti
him are vellow fever immunes and will
be transferred to the regular army
hospital service. Major Sommers will
sail from New York on the St. Paul,
and is expected to reach Santiago on
Tuesday.
The colonels of regiments in Camp
Alger, it is said, have received informa
tion from the war department fhat the
army of invasion for Porto Rico will
be largely drawn from the Second army
corps They have directed their subor
dinates to be prepared to leave at any
moment.
ANOTHER CHANCE
Will Be Given Colombia to Pay That
$250,000.
Washington. July 16. The state depart
ment has been informed that the Italian
squadron under Admiral Candianl has
reached Colombia waters, preparatory to
making a demand upon the republic for
the immediate payment of J2S0.000 award
ed by President Cleveland to Ernesto Cer
ruti. an Italian citizen. It is not
known that the squadron has as yet made
the demand or that any force to execute
it has been exerted. On the contrary,
the department has been officially advised
that the admiral's instructions are con
fined to making a demand for the com
plete and speedy settlement of tne
award made by the president of the
United States. His instructions do not
eo to the'extent of directing him to seize
the custom office at Cartagena, as was
at first reported.
Although the admiral Is now prepared
to exert force. the impression prevails that
the settlement will be reached without the
actual display of force.
Rome. July 16. Admiral Candiani, it Is
asserted has been instructed to await the
assembling of the Colombia congress at
Bogota on Julv 20. and the election of a
new president of Colombia, before taking
liny definite action with reference to en
forcing the Cerruti claim.

A new base ball club has been organized
at Ottawa and N. D. Parker is the man

Saratoga the Beautiful.
Undoubtedly a large number of
American tourists will remain in the
United States this summer, and it is,
perhaps, appropriate to call their at
tention to Saratoga, the greatest of
American health and pleasure resorts,
which is reached directly by the
through trains of the New Tork Cen
tral & Hudson River R. R. The medi
cinal qualities of its springs, the high
character of its social life, and its
splendid hotel accommodations, are not
equaled anywhere. The Passenger De
partment has just issued an attractive
folder, entitled "Saratoga the Beauti
ful," descriptive of the principal hotels
and principal points of interest In and
around Saratoga.
A copy will be sent to any address on
receipt of a 2-cent stamp by George H.
Daniels, General Passenger Agent.

HOW THEY SURRENDERED.
Came in the Nick of Time to Prevent
Renewed Hostilities.
(Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
With the United States Troops Before
Santiago de Cuba, July 14. via King
ston, Jamaica, July 16. Previous to the
announcement of the surrender of San
tiago all arrangements were complete
for a renewal of the attack, on the
city.
The Spanish batteries opposite Morro
castle were to be bombarded and
stormed, their guns were then to be
turned upon the city and Gen. Lawton'a
division ,at the same time was to fall
on the enemy's left flank under the
cover of our artillery fire. We could
then have enfiladed their lines and
have driven them into the city.
General Toral must have realized that
he was trapped and that to hold out
longer must mean a useless sacrifice of
his men; but he made one last effort to
gain more time. While nominally yield
ing to the terms General Shatter pro
posed, he sent a communication to Gen.
Shafter enclosing a copy of a telegram
from Captain General Blanco, explain
ing that the surrender of such an im
portant position as Santiago and the j
abandonment of eastern Cuba would re
quire the direct sanction of the Madrid
government and requesting more time
to be heard from Madrid. At the same
time Captain General Blanco authorized
Gen. Toral, if it was agreeable to the
American general, to appoint commis
sioners on both sides to arrange for
capitulation of the forces in his com
mand on the condition of their parole
and transportation to Spain, pending
the sanction of Madrid. He also com
municated the names of the commis
sioners he had selected, pamely: Mr.
Robert Mason, the British vice consul;
Gen. Toral's chief of staff, Col. Fon
taine, and Gen. Escarajao.
This communication was so ambigu
ous that it might all be upset by the
refusal of Madrid to sanction the terms
agreed to by the commissioners, and
Gen. Shafter resolved to have all the
ambiguity removed before proceeding
further. At 11 o'clock he mounted his
horse and together with Gen. Miles and
his staff, rode to Gen. Wheeler's head
quarters. Gen. Shafter, Gen. Miles, Col.
Maus and an interpreter, left their re
tinue there and passed on over our
trenches, with a flag of truce, to the
mango tree, under which the interview
was held. They were soon joined bv
Gen. Toral, his chief of staff and the
two other commissioners appointed by
him. ,
Gen. Miles took no part in the nego
tiations. He has been careful since his
arrival here not to assume the direction
of affairs, or to detract in the least from
the glory of Gen. Shafter' achieve
ment. Gen. Shafter insisted at the outset
that the commissioners to be appointed
should have paramount authority to
make and conclude the terms of surren
der in accordance with our demands.
After parleying, Gen. Toral acceded
to this, explaining that since his last
communication he had received direct
authority from Captain General Blanco
to do so. This being the main point, the
interview was soon concluded.
Before parting Gen. Shafter compli
mented Gen. Toral highly upon the skill
and gallantry of his resistance.
Upon the return to Gen. Wheeler's
headquarters the news of our complete
victory was communicated to Gen. Law-
ton and to Uen. Kent, and to the brig
ade commanders. A scene of general
rejoicing followed.
Gen. Shafter held a regular levee be
fore he dismounted and was congratu
lated and complimented bv all. He im
mediately appointed Gen. Wheeler, Gen.
Lawton and Capt. Miley to be com
missioners on his behalf to treat with
those appointed by Gen. Toral. He then
issued orders to permit our troops to
retire from the trenches, but absolutely
forbidding and one, soldier or civilian,
from going into the Spanish lines.
The refugees are to be permitted to
return to their homes, but neither our
troops nor the Cuban auxiliaries are to
be permitted to enter the city at pres
ent. The order as to the Cubans is very
specific. They have shown a disposition
to loot anything and any place. But
they are not to have the privilege of
glutting their appetites for plunder in
Santiago.
A guard is to be maintained about
the city and the camps of our soldiers
are to be removed just to the front or
to the rear of our lines as in individual
cases is most practicable. The change
of the camp sites will undoubtedly im
prove the health of the troops.
The whole purpose of the American
commander now is to protect the health
of the army, especially from the dread
ed contagion.
It is claimed there is no fever in San
tiago, but the city is full of filth and
stench, and if our men are allowed to
go in it will undoubtedly become a pest
hole.
The boys in the trenches were ignor
ant of the outcome of the negotiations
until a heavy luncheon of coffee, hard
tack and corned beef was served. Then
General Shafter appointed Colonel As
tor and Captain McKittrick to convey
the welcome tidings along the lines.
Some of the officers favored celebrating
the victory with bands and a noisy
demonstration, but General Shafter
vetoed the proposition. He said there
was no occasion to humiliate the enemy,
who had fought bravely. Not even
cheering was to be permitted, but be
fore Colonel Astor and Captain Mc
Kittrick could warn the soldiers the
latter broke out Into wild hurrahs.
Some danced about, threw their hats
into the air, hugged each other and con
gratulated themselves upon the pros
pect of getting out of Cuba in a few
days.
General Shafter instructed the com
missioners that the inside harbor en
trance be immediately opened to allow
Clara Barton, of the Red Cross society,
and the supply ships to enter, and that
the road from Siboney be opened for a
similar purpose.
We are to supply the Spanish pris
oners with food pending their concen
tration and embarkation. General Toral
requested this, saying that there was
very little food. It is probable that the
Spanish steamers in the harbor will be
used in part for the transportation of
the surrenders to Spain.
The Spanish troops abandoned the en
trenchments and wTent into the city.
Our commissioners, attended by an in
terpreter, entered the Spanish lines
shortly after 2 o'clock and had not re
turned when the correspondent left with
this dispatch.
General Miles and his staff arrived
at Siboney from the front and went
aboard the Concha. On the wharf Gen
eral Miles said:
"Santiago has surrendered on our
terms, after vainly trying for a long
time to get better ones. The result is
highly gratifying. The Spanish prison
ers will be transported to Spain by us.
The surrender carries with it not only
the city of Santiago, but the entire
Santiago military district, being the
eastern portion of Cuba, west to a line
drawn from Aserradero, on the south
coast, to Sagua, on the north coast.
Manzanillo and Holguin are not in
cluded. "The possession of the surrendered
district will be yielded at once and a
commission of six, three from each side,
will meet this afternoon to arrange the
details of the transfer. The American
troops will be left where they are for
a time, until they are needed for ser
vice elsewhere.
"I do not wish to say what point will
be attacked next. I may come ashore
again here, but hardly think so."
HOW BREAKS OUT
Between Express Companies Over the
Revenue Tax.
Chicago, July 36. The Denver and Rio
Grande Express company has been furnish
ing revenue stamps to its patrons, while
the American, Adams and United States,
members of the so-called "express com
bine," have refused to do so."
A circular has been issued by the com
bine saying: "There will be no through
billing between the Denver and Rio
Grande and this company after July 15,
lSi'S, on account of the Denver and Rio
Grande Express company furnishing ship
pers internal revenue stamps at common
points, and business will not be inter
changed with the Denver and Rio Grande
Express except as provided in rules gov
erning local express."
The combination claims It is not sub

nue act and can interpose all the obsta
cles It chooses o commerce carried by
other companies.
