GENERAL PROSPECT OF THE WAR.


The universal public opinion against Spain. her
small force upon this coast and the growing naval
strength Of tie Gillian feet leads me to believe that
the war will not continue much longer.
PLAN or NAVAL ACTION TO TAXI GHE srANIsH SHIPS.
Like all spch plans IT depends much upon contingcn'

Valparaiso cannon o. strong cnbcr have been planted
II is report that ri signal given shore these ships
will al pioach. Then there will take place the explosion
o torpedoes fIins from On shore and general MAYA
action on the sea which according 10 the programme
will result in the splendid aurlhiation o! the Spanish
Iect IN the Valparaiso Bay.
LACE or ACTIVITY
There 20 IA want IL this regard. Nothing IL
important than this at the present moment. Ma
un.eon gained some Of his mott signal victories by
forced marches. Every days deay 10 attack the
enemv lessons the probabilities IL victory. There
should bo great activity. or show. to stimulate the
navy. and vice However in war all is not as II
appears.
THE BLOCKADE

blOCLuded. but other ports. which before were not
heard OF doing considerable business Tor example

DUTIES.

and the prices most articles OF commerce have
been but little affected by the wsr Articles o. home
