enter and welcomod our soldiers with
glad faces and smilcM.
The cavalcade paused slowly through
the streets until the plaza was reached
in front of the governor's palace. The
general and staff then dismounted. A
grand reception had been prepared for
the occasion In a bcuutlful room with
a lofty frescoed ceiling.
General Toral then formally turned
over the key of the city to General
hhafter. Governor Hon and all the
oflicer of the province and municipal
ity were formally presented to Gen
eral Kliafter and his generals in the or
der of rank.
When the venerable archbishop of
Santiago entered there was a dramatlo
pause. The aged prelate, regally at
tired in his official robes of velvet,
came through the arched entrance,
followed by four priest, robed in
white. When presented to General
frihafter lie bowed courteously and ex
pressed his gratification that further
bloodshed had been averted.
He hoped for a peace as honorable
to (Spain as was this capitulation.
TIIH AUCHWSIlOi' MAI) CHANGED.
It was difficult to realize that thl
wa the same man who gave expres
sion to such bloodthirsty defiance a
few weeks ago.
Noon was set for the raining of th
American flag, and until then the tlm
passed pleasantly at the palace, The
Hpanlsh and American officers in tor
mingled. There was no stiffness.
Everybody chatted pleasantly, Gen
eral Toral moved about, making Intro
duotion and apparently in the best of
spirit.
Captain Mclvittrlek, Lieutenant
Wheeler and Lieutenant Mlley had
been selected to perform the ceremony
of unfurling the flag. At five minute
before If they ascended to the cupola
of the palace. As the cathedral
chimes rang out the hour of noon tb
Rtar and (stripe hot to the top of
th pole, where had waved th banner
of the Castllian.
General Hhafter, General Wheeler
and every American present uncovered
reverently, while the soldier present
ed arm and the band played "Th
btsr rlpanglcd llannur."
TOUAL, TOO, UNCOVERED.
With rare courtesy General Toral
and hi staff also uncovered, and re-,
nialned so until the strain of mial
ceased.
Just before noon the call to arm
wa sounded in every rrglmenUl
camp and eaoh regiment formed, a on
dres parade, along the crest of th
elevated ridge fuoiiig the city. Presi
dent Mch'lnley's dispatch conveying
the congratulations of th people of
the United fttatce wu road to them.
Capron' battery tired a salute of
twenty-one gun a a signal that th
American ilag waved over Santiago.
Every regiment band along eight mile
of tranche struck up "The Utof
KpangUd Itannur," amid thunder of
cheer.
When the artillery salute wa con
cluded the regiment marohed back to
their camp, the band playing
"Dixie," "Three Cheer for th lied,
Whit and litae -"Marching Through
Georgia" and the national air.
After the flag wa raised the Amer
ican general bade farewell to General
Toral and hi staff and left the plat,
escorted by the cavalry.
The Ninth infantry remained and
will garrison the city until relieved.
On the way through the suburbs th
cavalcade passed thousands of refugee
returning from El Caney. Notwith
standing tho accumulated miseries of
the last fortnight, they still had spirit
enough to cheer Geueral Hhafter and
hi ofllcera,
Shortly after 1 o'clock General
bhafter reached hi headquarter,
somewhat fatigued by the exertion of
the day, but exceedingly well satisfied
in the fact that the capitulation had
been couducted gracefully by both
sides.
During th afternoon the arms and
artillery of the garrison were exam
iued by American oflloers appointed
for the purpose, and then plaood 1
the arsenal at (Santiago.
