SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.

Soe

General Shafter Tells of the Diffi- culiies of the Position.

Wasmyetox, July 29.—The War Des pariment has made public the following deepatch received from General Shafter, in response to a query by the Department as to ships being turned away from San~ tiago:

Press reports not true. I only know of three ships having arrived, ove from Kingston and the others from the United Srates. The Bratton has sold its cargo; the other, a ship from New Orleans, has sold part of it and tells me ‘ti: going away tonight. Ithink he will seli before he leaves. Thetrouble is thev did not expect to pay any duty and arrived here without money. The Spanieb customs as applied to Spanish subjects, has only been collect- ed aod the 20 cents per ton, as ordered b~ the secretary. I have discovered this morpiogan atiempton the part of the municipal authorities to collect a local tax of 40 cents per ove hundred kilos, in this jnetaace, amounting totwentysfive hundred doliars. Ibad already settled this matter

bv ordering its noacollection. The fact is there 18 no money here to do business and merchants are very timid about making purs

chases, fearing the effect of the Red Crose supplies, who really are feeding the town. The New Orleans man, for instance, brought 29 bead of cattle which ne sold at$85 perhead. The vereon buying kills one a day, selling the meat at seventy cents a pound. Of course only a few people buy. The first week we were here people were starviog to death andI think a few now are euffering from the effects of starvation. Tam posi ive, however, that the “customs is honestly aiministered. (Signed) SHarrer, Major-General.

THE

UNCLE SAM'S QUEER ALLIES.

(Mail and Empire.)

Uncle Sam is beginning to find out that his allies, the Cuban insurgents, are not euch paiterrs of propriety afer all, A | few months ago these gentlemen figured as | patriots, seeking to emancipate their native | land from Spanish oppression. A nearer | view tends tO remove the patriotic colour- | iug aud to picture the insurgents as men | who went to get rid of one form of misrule | in order to establish another. The insur~

geats arerelatively to the entire popula- tien «of Cuba ai emall body of people. Living in the hilly districts, following uo regular occupation, they have | subsisted by fighting, and, it is to be feared in a codsiderable degree by plunder. O.? course, it was the duty of Spain to pul ao end to their operatione,and ‘to guarantee the security of property, much of which in Cuba 1s American. The troops before Santiago have made a close examinst on of the patriots. They find that these mea have strange habits, and for the nineteent’ century,equaily strange principles. The first eccentricity that developed itself was | #0 inordinate appetite and a desire to be fed by the rescuing party. Tbe Uaited Ststes haa had to assume the duty of sup- porting the allies, Then the inaurgents exhibited an ingi-position to work. They did little ‘f any fightiogin the opeo. Asa matier of fact, they have cultivatd the

|

guerilla system of warfare. The United ! States troops iherefo re had to lterr the bruntof the batue. If the Cuban- would

not, Or could not, fight for Cuba Libre, i: was supposed thas possibly tley would

work. Butto labour in and around the Camps, they were altogether the averse.

They were quite ready, bowever to blunder andto kill. Much annoyed were they, after the Uniied States had taken Santiago to find, first, thattheir right toelect a President to govern the city and province was not recognized by the Uuited States general in Command; secondly, that they cou'd not goin and sack the city; and

thirdly, that there was not to be a shooting match witb, the Spanish soldiers as targets. It look+d

to them as if chey were being unjustly de- prived of the fruits of # victory which somebody else had won. Their latest eccentricity is their fight with and their defeat by the Spanish soldiers on their way to Santiago to surrender. Imagine the brave patriots being put tothe run by troeps thet already ackuowledged them- seives vanquished. For this indignity they want vengeance, and it appears that the parties who are to suffer are not ne- cessarily the soldiers, who obstinately re- fused to be killed, but other Spanish par- ties who sre not guilty on that couat of the iodictment. The discovery of the tartarity of the insurgents throws some light on the past and uson the future. Suppose Spain had yielded to the notice to quit the Island, thus leaving inotfensive people without protection What would have happened ? Again, can the Uniced States as a civilized pation evacuate Cuba with the insurgents on top? It seems probable that the pre- | d'ctioa that Uncle Sam will have to turo about and fight the insurgents after he gets through with Spzia will come true. In fact, it would notbe surprising if the Spanish residents were to ask for annexation to the United States as a defensive measure. This | would dostrey the purposes of ihe Cuban- and would rel’eve the United States of the charge that it took toe island, after having declared that its warfare had no such pur- po-e in view.
