There was an agreeable revulsion of

from Gen. Shafter announcing that the
Spaniards had finally agreed to the
terms made by the Americans. That
there had been considerable anxiety as
to the outcome of the negotiations for
the surrender of Santiago is generally
known in official circles. The govern

Adjt. Gen- Corbin sajd. today that

conditions were as nearly Ideal as ob
tainable in the tropics for stamping
out the fever; high hills assured well
drained camps, a most important ele
ment in the preservation of health,
the water supply coming* from the
mountains was pure and abundant, and
fresh sea breezes prevailed. While
the main body of troops is to be trans
ferred back to those hills until they are
reeded for service elsewhere .pr are re
turned to the United States, some
troops necessarily will be placed either
in the town itself or in camps com
manding the place, in order to protect
the inhabitants. It is believed the two
regiments of immunes already on their
way to Santiago will be assigned to
that duty. This will be a severe test
of the principle involved -in the forma
tion of the immune regiments, for it ls
suspected that many of the alleged
immunes are merely persons who have
spent only a few weeks in the tropics
under conditions- that never brought
thorn into direct exposure to yellow fe
ver.
It is the present intention of the au
thorities here to maintain a military
government at Santiago, regardless of
hints from Cuban sources that thejr_are
prepared to undertake the administra
tion there. It Is believed that the
United States is under moral obliga
tion to the world to see to it that noth
ing but a highly civilized government
shall be set up in Cuba, wherefore the
authorities here are disposed to be
extremely cautious, arfd to make full
test of the capacity of the Cubans be
fore entrusting the lives and property
of the people of Santiago to their care.

BERLIN, July 10.— The recent speech
of United States Ambassador White is
gradually having a good effect. Th_
tone o." the German [>i cas, with the ex
ception of the rabid anti-American
sheets, has distinctly chang?.l. '.1.-ny
of the newspapers which have hitherto
been unfriendly are now jut tee cp
posite.
Mr. White's Fourth of July oration
has also strengthened his position bore.
It is understood that the withdrawal
of some of the German warships from
Manila were due to his pointing out
that the feeling of the Americans at
such a formidable array of German
ships in the harbor was one of sus
picion as to the intention of Germany.
An official of the foreign office, ex
plaining the attitude of the German
government, said: "The presence there
of our waiships was solely due to our
desire to protect German interests in
the Philippine islands which are too
large for one or two ships to protect
in the event of things going wrong,
as the presence of ships at various
points at the same time might be nec
essary. When he first appeared. Ad
miral Dewey was unable to land a
force sufficiently strong enough to pro
tect the foreigners from the semi-sav
age hordes of insurgents, who were
also a source of danger to the Germans.
In view of repeated assurances of neu
tiality on the part of Germany and the
friendly relations existing between the
two countries, the American suspicions
are unfounded."
The correspondent here of the Asso
ciated Pres.s is informed that Gen.
Azcareaga, the former Spanish minis
ter of war, is reported to be on a mis
sion, the object of which is to sound
the cabinets of the continental powers
on the subject of peace negotiations.
He is not expected In Berlin.
SAMOA AND CAROLINES.
The newspapers are discussing the
questions of the future of Samoa and
the Caroline islands. The Sehlessisehe
Zeitung recalls President McKinley's
announcement that the United States 13

The Cologne Industrial Association .re
ports that trade with Spain has been-"
severely injured by non-payments,
while trade with the United States has
been little effected, though buyers in
some branches are less frequent. The
Tageblatt says the report shows what
was expected from the start, namely,
Spain's complete ruin.
The Tageblatt and other Liberal >
newt-papers accuse the emperor of ex
ceeding his powers in the appointment
of three professors of the Prussian
Technical high school from the mem
bers of the house of lords, such an
appointment requiring the signature of
the chancellor, which was not obtain
ed, through the opposition of the cabi
net.
Heavy rains have prevailed through
out Germany all the week and have
greatly damaged the crops in the flood
ed districts of East Prussia. The floods
were especially severe in the Brunswick
district, where many houses were de
stroyed. .
The governor of the German colony
at Kiao-Chou bay has asked the Ger
man merchants if they desire the in
troduction there of the German cus
toms tariff.
LIKE AMERICAN MEATS.
Some of the newspapers complain of
the favor shown American preserved
meats in the army and navy to the
detriment of German meats.
Herr Llebnecht, the Socialist leader,
speaking at Barmen during the week,
said the battle of Manila was a greater
feat than the battle of Sedan, which
resulted ln the capture of the French
emperor and his army by the Prus
sians.
The semi-official newspapers say the
departments of the Prussian govern
ment are about to forbid their em
ployes from taking Socialist papers or
participating in Socialist agitation, un
der the pain of severe punishment and
dismissal.
The Kreuse Zeitung advocates the
enactment of a law to punish those who
do not vote at elections.
The exports for the fiscal year to
the United States from the consular
district of Frankfort were $31,025,501, or
$6,598,381 less than the preceding year.
The decrease in the northern half of
Germany is larger in some districts.
More than 50 per cent of the loss is
in export sugars. In the Magdeburg
district alone the loss on sugar is CO
per cent.
Edward A. Abbey, the American art
ist, has been elected a member of the
Prussian Royal Academy of Arts.
BERLIN GOSSIPS.
Mr. White, our ambassador, was run
over and somewhat injured by a' bi
cyclist, near the Bradenburg gate, on
Tuesday.
The officials of the United States em
bassy have rented new offices at the
corner of Unter den Linden and
Schadow streets and will move in
October. The new quarters are larger
and better adapted for the purpose.
In spite of Admiral Dewey's dispatch
confirming the exclusiveness of the As
sociated Press story regarding the con
duct of the German warship Irene at
Subig bay, Philippine islands", a section
of the German press still professes to
disbelieve the Irene incident. The
Cologne Gazette says: "The story was
got up by the Associated Press with
the deliberate purpose of producing
enmity between Germany and Amer
ica."
The Prussian frontier officials have
been ordered to prevent the importa
tion of American pork lacking the
American inspector'? certificates. This
action is owing to the instructions of
the government at Washington to omit
the certificates when the meat is in
tended for the German embassy.
An investigation of the statement
published in the newspapers that thir
ty-eight cases of trichinosis which ha_
occurred in Saxony was due to the use
of American pork, has shown that all
the cases In question were due to ur.t
triehlr.ous Saxon hog.

"VVII.I. LEAVE THKlll ARMS.
Secretary AI K er Settles a Disputed
•*<>"iit at Santlau-o.
WASHINGTON, July 16.— The arms
surrendered;; by. (the Spanish soldiers at
Santiago to* Gen. Shf.-ter will be kept
by the United States government. This
conclusion, Cached late this afternoon
by the president and Secretary Alger,
was made* "public by the latter as he
left his offlce at 6 o'clock tonight for
■his home. "All those who have arms
will turn them over to this govern
ment. This is final." These were tlie
secretary's words when asked for In
formation on the subject. "And," he
added, in response to further inquiries,
and to clear any doubt that might
exist, on the subject, "the rifles will
not be returned to Spain."
The decision 1 no doubt already has
been commurdeated to Gen. Shafter.
Up to the time when Secretary Alger's
emphatic statement disposed of all
doubt on the matter, it was thought
in some quarters that consideration
might be given to the appeal made by
Gen. Toral in behalf of his men that
they be allowed to keep their arms. In
fact, it was said by a high department
official that the. president would await
the recommendations of the United
States commissioners to the surrender
on this subject before disposing of the
question, especially as Gen. Shafter
■had telegraphed the department that
it was understood the United States
commissioners would recommend that
the Spanish' soldiers return to Spain
with the arms they so bravely defend
ed. This decision of the president ap
plies alike to those Spanish soldiers
who have-not been engaged with the
United States troops, as well as to
those who'-havfe been participants in
the .recent batties.

HAVANA, July 16.— A member of the staff
of Capt. Gen. '.Blanco, referring yesterday
to the reports ln circulation in the United

attempted to "commit suicide when he heard
of the destruction -of the fleet of Admiral
Cervera, saitfi: . '
"You can "definitely announce that Capt.
Gen. Blanco 3s a good Christian and Span

being younger, so as to be able to conse
crate his lif* to flighting the nation which
pretends to humiliate his beloved country.
The loss of half a dozen ships of the Span
ish fleet, lost while, gloriously fighting three
times their number, he considers as one of
many war incidents. As he has previously
remarked, courage does not always accom
pany fortune 1 , and. this great los 3 will not
make him change his purpose of defending,
inch by inch, this portion of Spanish terri
tory. Therefore, do not credit any rumors
about the captain general attempting his life

FlocU to See tine Spanish Prison

Grounds.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 16.— Admiral
Cervera, the recent commander of the
Spanish squadron which was destroy
ed off Santiago, and about forty Span
ish officers, were brought to this city
today and are now prisoners of war
within the historic preoincts of the
United States naval academy. The
auxiliary steamer St. Louis brought
the foreign visitors up Chesapeake bay
this afternoon. Her blaok hulk was
sighted by the tugs off Annapolis at
3 o'clock this afternoon and immediate
ly a fleet of small craft that had be^n
waiting far outside the city since eariy
morning, put on all steam and a half
hour later were surrounding the great
cruiser in the hope of seeing the Span
iards. Soon after she came to anchor
the St. Louis flew signals for the gov
ernment tug Standish, which had been
tied to the wharf at Annapolis, with
her fires up, since 3 o'clock this morn
ing. The tug at once put to sea. About
4 o'clock she tied up to the starboard
side of the St. Louis and for nearly an
hour there was a transfer of baggage
and bundles between the two vessels.
Then throe wounded Spanish officers
were swung down to the Standish in
litters.
Admiral Cervera took courteous leave
of the officers of the St. Louis, and
marched down the gangway of the ship
with a stately tread. He wore a black
derby hat and the dark clothes of a
civilian. On his left arm he carried a
brown overcoat. Immediately follow
ing him were the recent governor or
Santiago, also an old man, in civilian
clothes. Capt. Euiate, late of the Viz
caya, and the rest of the Spanish offi
cers. A few of them were dressed in
the Spanish uniform, but most of them
were rigged out wholly or In part In
duck uniforms that had been furnished
them by the American officers.
Chairs had been provided in the rear
of the tug for the accommodation of
the prisoners, and there they sat while
the tug steamed up to the old city
of Annapolis. At the Wharf Command
er Edwin White, with a detachment of
United States marines, was awaiting
their ooming. He received the admiral
in person and escorted him immediate
ly to the superintendent's carriage.
Commander White, Admiral Cervera
and his son then drove to the res<-
dence of Admiral McNair, the super
intendent of the naval academy. A
brief formal call was made there, at
which courtesies were exchanged and
Admiral McNair explained to the visi
tors the arrangements that had been
made for their comfort.
Admiral Cervera was then escorted to
his quarters, a plain brick structure
of three stories, in what is known as
Buchanan row. The house has been
well furnished, and is in all particulars
the same as the houses occupied by
naval officers on duty at the academy.
Soon after the arrival, which was at
5:30, dinner was served for the ad
miral and his staff, in their own quar
ters. The other officers signed the
parole and were conducted to quarters
In Strlbling row, which is used by the
cadets in term time for dormitories.
They spent the evening after dinner
ln strolling about the grounds. All
will attend St. Mary's Catholic church
tomorrow forenoon.
The naval academy yard, where the
officers are quartered, is carefully
guarded, and but few civilians are al
lowed to enter.
OLIVETTE AERIVES.
Brings 271 Slek and Wounded Sol
diers From SitiiMP(>-o.
NEW TORK, Judy 16.— The United
States transport Olivette (No. 11) ar
rived at quarantine tonight, bringing
271 sick and wounded soldiers from the
scene of war. Of this number fifty
eight are convalescent and ready to re
join their regiments. When the Olivette
anchored ln quarantine, she was board
ed by Health Officer Doty, Surgeon
General George Sternberg, U. S. A.;
Majs. Bushnell and Hall, U. S. A.; Sur
geon Barnes, of the Massachusetts Vol
unteer Aid society; Deputy Health Of
ficer E. P. Sanborn and Capt. Blake,
of the Richmond borough police force.
Maj. Aple, surgeon in charge of the
Olivette, reported the condition of the
sick and convalescent as being excel
lent and the ship's company much Im
proved in every way. The ship was
given pratique by the health officer.
The Olivette will remain at anchor un
til tomorrow morning, when she will
proceed to Brooklyn, where the sick
and wounded will be removed to the
Long Island college hospital and St.
Peter's hospital.
Shortly after the Olivette dropped an
chor the Staten Island ferry boat went
alongside and took aboard about 100
of the most seriously sick and wound
ed, landing them at Stapleton. where
ambulances removed them to the Unit
ed States miarine hospital. The main
and hurricane decks of the Olivette
presented a most animated appearancv
when the health officer's boat, went
alongside. All were elated to hear of
the surrender ot the Spanish army at
Santiago. Many of the men were sorry
they were not able to be present at the
surrender. Surgeon Aple, of the Oliv
ette, said that he was more than pleas
ed with the condition of the men un
der his care. They had Improved won
derfully since leaving Santiago.
Many telegrams were put on board
and large bundles of papers were dis
tributed. The boys were anxious for
news about the surrender of Santiago.
The pilot on boarding the Olivetti had
said there was a hitch in the negotia
tions. One of the men said: "If we had
been allowed our way. we have gone
plumb into Santiago."
There was no evidence on board of
contagious disease. Dr. Aple said the
improvements made in modern surgery
were the means of saving the lives of
fully 100 men of the 271 on board. The
fine physique of the men was also a
large factor in their recovering. Ed
ward Marshal, the reporter, who was
shot in the spine, was improving, and
when seen here said he felt as com
fortable as could be expected.
Perhaps Thin Is True.
MADRID, July 16.— A dispatch from Havana
says the Spanish troops have routed several
