Santiago, Cuba, July 13.?The Ameri?
can flag is louting in triumph over the
^vernor's palace at Santiago de Cuba,
?nd General McKibbin has been ap?
pointed temporary military governor.
Amid impressive ceremonies the Span?
ish troops laid down their arms be?
tween the lines of the Spanish and
American forces at 9 o'clock yesterday
forenoon.
General Shafter returned to General
Toral the latter's sword after lt had
been handed to the American com
man_er. Our troops, lined up at the
trenches, were eye witnesses of the
?ceremony. General Shafter and his
escort, accompanied by General Toral,
rode through the city, taking formal
possession. The city had been sacked
before they arrived by the Spaniards.
The ceremony of hoisting tho Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
aad treasure it cost. A vast concourse
OUR NKW TERRITORY.
?(Country eurrend.-r^d Indicated by dark
portion.)
?of 16,900 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that will live for?
ever in tar minds of all the Americans
present. The palara, a pitturesque old
dwelling in the Moorish style of archi?
tecture, faces the Plaza de La Reina,
the principal public square.
Across thc plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
Cavalry band. In the street facing the
palance stood a picked troop of the
Second cavalry, with drawn sabers,
under command of Captain Brett.
Massed on the stone flagging, between
tnt band and line of horsemen, were
thc bricad-e commanders of General
Shafter's division, with thf-ir staffs. On
the red tiled roof of the palace stood
Captain McKittrick, Lieutenant Miley
and General Wheeler.
All about, pressing against the ver?
anda walls, crowding to windows and
doors and lining the roofs, were the
people of the town, principally women
and non-combatants. As the chimes
of the eld cathedral rang out the hour
of 12 the infantry and cavalry pre?
sented arms. Every American uncov?
ered, and Captain McKittrick hoisted
the Stars and Stripes. As the brilliant
folds unfurled in a gentle breeze the
cavalry band broke into the strains of
"The Star Spangled Banner."
At the same instant the sound of the
distant booming of Captain Capron's
Battery, firing a salute of 21 guns,
drifted In, When the music ceased,
from all directions around our line
came floating across the plaza the
strains of the regimental bands and
the mumed, hoarse cheers of our troops.
The infantry came to "order arms" a
moment later, after the flag was ap,
ami the band played "itally 'Round the
Flag. Beys." Instantly General McKib?
bin called fer three cheers for General
Shaffer, which were given with great
ea Unas las m, the band playing Sousa's
?"Tfce Stars aad Stripes Forever."
The ceremoay over, Geaeral Shafter
aad his staff returned to the American
llaes, leaving tha city la the possession
of the municipal authorities, subject
to the control ef General MoKibbia.
The Thirteeath aad Ninth fegimenta
of infaatry will remain la the city ta
eaferce order and exercise municipal
authority. The Spanish forces are to
ea camp outside of our lines.
The work of loading the Spanish
prisoners ob transports preparatory to
Beading them back to Spain will be
commenced ta soon as ships are pro?
vided.
The open handed generosity of the
American seamen was shown last Sat?
urday when a subscription was opened
on Commodore Schley's flagship, tha
Brooklyn, for tbe benefit A$? the young
wife of George Henry ^1 ls, the only
maa killed on the American side dur?
ing tbe battle with Admiral Cervera'a
fleet. The men eagerly offered their
money, many whose salaries are but
HT and $18 a monta, giving $20 and
$2&, One seaman who had a silver coln
taken from one of tha Spanish ves
pcli. offered it f__r sale for the benefit
of the fund, and lt was om'r?. a? an?
other seaman for $25. A five peseta
piece from the Infanta Marla Teresa
brought $60 more. The fund now
amounts to over $1,000. and is growing.
BEFORE THE SURRENDER.
teneral Toral Wanted HI* Sold lora to
Rr-tain Their Oana.
Santiago de Cuba, July 18.?The week
frecedlng* tbe surrender of Santiago
?has replete with dilatory tactics on tho
part of tho Spaniards. On Wednesday
of last week. General Toral sent out a
reply to General Shafter'a second de?
mand for the surender of the city, re?
iterating his determination to resist.
During* the existence of the trues Tor?
si's forces were busily engaged in
doubling back his entrenchments and
fixing his guns in the direction from
which he waa threatened.
At a conference later between Gen?
erals Toral. Miles, Shafter. Wheeler,
Gilmour. Colonel Morse. Lieutenant
Mlley and Colonel Maus the situation
was placed frankly before General To?
ral, and he was offered the alternative
of being oent home with his garrison
or leaving Santiago province. The
only condition Imposed was that he
should not destroy the existing forti?
fications and should leave his arms be?
hind. This later condition the Span?
ish general, who does not speak En?
glish, explained through his interpre?
ter was impossible. He said the laws
of Spain gave t. general no discre?
tion. He might abandon a place when
he found lt untenable, but he could not
leave his arma behind without subject?
ing himself to the penalty of being
shot. His government, he said, had
granted him permission to evacuate
Santiago. That was all. Further than
that he could not go.
Thursday General Toral sent a com?
munication to General Shafter Indicat?
ing his willingness to accept the terms
of surrender proposed and asked the
American commander to appoint com?
missioners to meet three Spanish com?
missioners to arrange terms of surren?
der. The American commissioners ap?
pointed were Generals Wheeler and
Lawton and Lieutenant Mlley. The
Spanish commissioners were Robert
Mason. British vice consul, and Gen?
eral Escarajao and Colonel Fontaine,
of the Spanish army.
General Shafter had transmitted to
Washington the request of General To?
ral that the Spanish prisoners be al?
lowed to return with their arms to
Spain. The reply came in the shape of
positive instructions to insist upon the
Spanish troops laying down their arms,
and to this General Toral was com?
pelled to agree.
Our government agrees to transport
all the Spanish prisoners, numbering
25,000, in neutral vessels to Cadiz or
some other Spanish port, and to pro?
vide them with food pending the em?
barkation and during the voyage.
SPANISH INCOMPETENCY
Enables Our Little Gunboat Ragle to
Destroy rn. Bis Spanish Cruiser.
Key West, July 20.?The Spanish
transatlantic liner San Domingo, of
fc.500 tons, was totally destroyed by the
little auxiliary gunboat Eagle on July
12 off Cape Francis. This intelligence
waa brought here yesterday by the
Nashville, which came up after the at?
tack and found the Spanish ship
burned and smashed on the reefs.
The affair offers a striking commen?
tary on the difference between Ameri?
can and Spanish spirit. The San Do?
mingo had two five inch guns mounted
and loaded, her magazines were open,
and it only remained to train her guns
and fire them to blow the little Eagle
out of the sea But the latter, with her
comparatively feeble battery of six
pounders, steamed to within two miles
of the enemy and pounded shot after
shot into her until she turned and, ir. a
desperate attempt to get into tha nar?
row channel, grounded on the reef
without having tried to return the
American fire.
Seventy shots were fired by the Eagle
and nearly all took effect. When the
Spanish ship went ashore a river
steamer came out and took off her of?
ficers and crew. Then the Eagle sent a
crew to board her, and there were
some shouts of surprise when the big
guns were discovered. She also car?
ried in her hold two 12 inch guns.
The cargo was largely of grain and
food supplies. Fifty head of cattle
were penned on the decks. The Eagle's
men decided that she was too far gone
to be floated, and after shooting the
cattle they set fire to her and watched
her destruction. The same river rteam
er again ran out to try to get off some
of the cargo, but was baffled by the
flames. The San Domingo burned for
three days, and was left a charred and
misshapen wreck. She was one of the
best steamers of the enemy, and had
been used as an auxiliary cruiser.
Eaerle Destroyed the Santo r>ominj_-o.
Key West, July 20,?It was definitely
established today that the Spanish
steamer Santo Domingo, of 5,500 tons,
was fired upon and run ashore at Cape
Francla 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, send?
ing 70 shots at her, nearly all of which
took effect. While this was going on
another steamer came out of tha bay
and took off the officers and crow ot
the Santo Domingo. When the men
from the Eagle boarded the latter they
found that she carried two five Inch
and two twelve Inch guns, tho latter
being loaded and her magaolnes open?
ed. The steamer could not be floated,
and she was set on Are after 50 hoad
of cattle which wera on board had
been shot.
De woy Halted the Irene.
London, July 19.?The Hong Kong
correspondent of The Dally Mall says:
"United States Consul Wildman Ibv
forms me that as the German cruiser
Irene was passing MarlveJs. off Man lia,
the other day, tho United Staten gnn
beat Hugh Mcculloch was sent after
her to ask har te step. Aa the Irene re?
fused to obey a shell was sent ace*
her bow, and t small boat went to dis?
cover what she was doing. Tba ?or?
man admiral protested and in dated
that Germaa ships had a right to enter
the harbor without being searched, a
claim which Admiral Dewey declined
lp recognize."
Reported Bombardment of Manzanllla
London, July 19.?A special dispatch
from Havana, dated Monday, says:
"Seven American warships heavily
bombarded Manzanlllo this morning.
Three steamers of the Menendes lino
were set on fire. Several gunboats that
wera in the harbor issued for the de?
fense of tha town, but were stranded.
The result of tha Kamhawim?n| _g not

In the Sanctuaries ?Other Points of In?
terest.
On Sunday 17th, much interest was
manifested in our churches.
A large congregation turned out to
the communion services.
At the Fifth Baptist Church, two
services were held. Marked interest
was taken ia the communion services
at 8:40, only the exortations were rath?
er long; it being hot and close the
people became restless.
The congregation at the Second Bap?
tist Church seemed to enj >y the excel?
lent sermons and other exercises held
during the day.
Special interest was manifested at
the River View Baptist as it was the
forerunner of tbe Sunday Behool pic?
nic which took place on last Monday at
Varina Grove
It is announced that the Galilee Bap?
tist Church has greatly revived in the
last 30 days under the charge of Rev.
N. C. Booker. A large increase in the
Sunday School and ten members add?
ed to the church.
Rev. Paul Ballow in charge of the C.
M. E. Chapel on Chaffin St., is strug?
gling earnestly, being aided greatly by
the Baptist.
To tbe seven Baptist Churches and
Missions in this section: we heard it
whispered that another ia to be added.
It may be best to fill up and pay for
those already established. There are
hundreds who do not attend any
chureh and a very large number not
members of any church. If these can
be drawn into and nut to work some
good may be accomplished.
It is a bad thing to get giddy headed
from success or supposed popularity ;
for in the hour you think not, your foot
may slip and down the building falls.
A man is known by tne company he
keeps and so is a woman. We notice
that some of our married women are
often seen in the company of women of
questionable character. Why is this ?
You may be able to restrain yourself
allright, but we have grave doubts.
If you allow your daughters to asso?
ciate with the same class of questiona?
ble women, look out.
Mrs. Grundy is on the alert.
We would like to remind some of our

Dead?Social Notes.
Danville, Va , July 19,1898.
Within the confines of humane Dan?
ville, a bloody little village on the
mystic Dan, another white man has
murdered a Negro and paid the penal?
ty by spending one week in the city
jail. It ls cheaper for a white man to
Kill a Negro than it is for a Negro to
speak loud on the street or engage in a
penny crap game, for these crimes we
see each day of the week t new hand
in the chain gang, but a white man
who kills a Negro spends simply seven
or eight days in jail, then is taken be?
fore the mayor, reprimanded and dis?
charged.
Nor for a general slaughter every
pay day ef the Cotton Mills. "O jus?
tice, thou art fled to brutish beast and
men have lost their reason." Shall
this state of affairs continue to blot the
record ot this beautiful, philanthropic
and humane city ?
Miss Sadie A. Fitzgerald of Durham,
N. C., spent a few days in the city with
Miss Sadie J. Lawson of 526 N. Hol?
brook St. Having received 'many in?
vitations to teas, parties and hay rides
and surprised by some of our leading
young people on the 6th inst., she left
sor Hampton, Va., where she will at
tend the Normal now in session there.
Miss Fitzgerald carries with her the
beat wishes of many admiring friends
who greeted her while in the city.
Mr. Iverson Steward a popular barber
of Danville died at his residence on
Holbrook St , Hunday morning at 7
o'clock, after having suffered for some?
time with heart troubles ; that he stood
well in this community was evidenced
by the host of friends nod relatives
who filled Cavalry Church to its ut?
most capacity and followed his remains
to tbe last resting place.
He leaves a wife and several little
children to mourn their loss. The
Adam's Brass Band of whish he was a
memoer played solemn tunes as they
led the procession followed by the Mo?
ravian Lodge, K of P.. to the silent
city of the dead. Rev. G. W. Goode,
assisted by Dr. H. H. Mitchell of Nor?
folk, preached the funeral.
Miss 8. C. Tyrrell has returned from
Patrick Springs, and is heartily wel?
comed by her many friends, especially
by an uptown Prof., who has been wear?
ing smiles ever since her arrival.
Trying to do business without ths
Jfegro is a costly job which has been
'proven by Bell's Great, Grand and
Elite Vaudeville Show at the Reser?

by now that poor white folks ant Ne?
groes keep up all such trifling things
as that. Now he will make some mon?

THE SHADOW OF
THE GREENBACK
WILL APPEAR NEXT WEEK.
BUSINESS MEDIUM
MRS. MARTH, the world renowned
and highly celebrated business and
test Medium reveals everything. No
imposition. Can be oounsulted upon
all affairs of life, business, love and
marriage a specialty. Every mystery
revealed, also of absent, deceased and
living friends. Removes all troubles
and estrangements, challenges any
Medium who oan exceed her in start?
ling revelations of the past, present
and future events of one's life. Re?
member she will not for any price flat?
ter you ; you may rest assured you will
gain facts without nonsense. She can
be consulted upon all affairs of Life,
Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends,
etc., with description of future com?
panion. She is very accurate in de?
scribing missing friends, enemies etc.,
Her advice upon sickness, change of
business, law suits, journeys, contest?
ed wills, divorce and speculation is
valuable and reliable. She reads your
destiny?good or bad ; she withholds
nothing.
MRS. MARTH tells your entire life
past, present and future in a DEAD
TRANCE, has the power of any two
Mediums you ever met. In tests she
tells your mother's full name before
marriage, the names of all your family
their ages and description, the name
and business of your present husband
the name of your next if you are to
have one, the name of the young man
who now calls on you. the name of your
future husband, and the day, month
and year of your marriage, how many
children you have or will have; wheth?
er your present sweetheart will be true
to you and if he will marry you; if
you have no sweetheart she will tell
you when you will have and his name,
business and date of acquaintance. All
your future will be told in an honest
clear and plain manner and in a dead
trance. Mothers should know the suc?
cess of their husbands and children
young ladies should know everything
about their Sweethearts or intended
husband. Do not keep company, mar?
ry or go int* business until you know
all, do not let silly religious scruples
prevent your consulting.
Madame is the only one in the world
who oan tell you the FULL NAME of
your future husband, with age and
date of marriage, and tells whether
the one you love is true or false,
There are soase persons who believe
that there is no truth to be gained from
consulting a Medium, but such beliefs
are contrary to the truth. It is only
from ths lask of discrimination that
such a conclusion can be reached, It
is not every one who placards himself
or herself as a medium that ean stand
a test of what ha er she claims.
And a person of an enquiring mind
may ask the reason why. It is simply
that these advisers do not take the
trouble to study huo.an nature. They
do not spend their thoughts for a mo?
rn ?nt with acquiring the art of phase
ology and kindred branches that will
have a tendency to make the pathway
to the road of the business dear and
devoid of all obstacles.
lt is an undeniable fact that persons
will come for advice in full knowledge
of what they want to know, and yet
as soon as they confront a Medium they
try their utmost endeavor to dispel
from their minds what they know so as
to hear if it will be rehearsed by the
Medium. To get the secret out ot a
person by "pumping" in no few cases
is the art used by many unprincipled
mediums, but to take hold of the head
and gain control of the mind thereby is
a matter of impossibility to most of
them. And yet this can be done and
by consulting Mrs, Marth the seeming
mystery becomes a realization.
This subject has received no little
attention by eminent men and even
college professors. So it proves con?
clusively that although there are in?
fringer, in our midst with oily tongues
E>erhaps the gates of wisdom have not
leen closed to the entire profession.
It takes a great deal of study to be?
come an accomplished medium and by
a continuous and untiring effort, the
key to the well of apparently un fathom
able mysteries has been secured by
