SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
Spanish in Spain Disgusted Over
It's Hasty Capitulation.

MADRID, Aug. 25.-The newspapers
say the general public display consid-
cradle disgust at the hasty surrender at
Santiago, since hearing the stories with
regard to the adequate defensive condi-
ton prevailing there told by the re-
turned Spanish soldiers who arrived
yesterday at Corunna by the Spanish
steamer Alicante There have been six
deaths among the returned soldiers
since their arrival and many others are
feared.
A special commission is now meeting
to decide upon the question Of quaran-
tine. The military authorities have be-
gun the distribution of arrears of pay
to the repatriated troops.
HAVANA, Aug. "a, 9 p. m.-The
Spanish colonial authorities, while they
have decided that merchandise from
Santiago and other ports occupied by
the American forces is to be considered
foreign and thus subject to custom
house duty, have taken under special
consideration the future Of the agri-
cultural products and manufacturing
industries at such points with view
of suggesting to the Madrid Govern
ment q modus vivendi with the Ameri-
can Government regarding the same
leaving the same in bond pending a de-
cision from Madrid.

RETENTION OR RESTORATION.

We can cast out Of mind the whole
war-that is a dead issue If it ever
was an issue. We can refuse with rea-
son to consider it with Spain or any
other Power. What we do consider
is the ample fact Of what has been ac-
complished. The war has been fought
and we are the victors. From that
point begins any concernrhent about
the question of the retention or dis
posal of territory taken by act of war
for ourselves, or for the people to
whose charge we may commit It.
These properties are ours in every
sense as against Spain or any foreign
Power, and the simple question is,
therefore, one of disposal or retention.
Our self-interest should be the cor
trolling sentiment with US, with clear
seeing, however, of the rights and fu-
ture of the people who by the acquisi
tion come under our control. Whatever
obligations we are under to them,
whether express or implied, must be
point Of self-interest, which, as Spencer
has said, is the motive that actuates
all men, we are to ask what will be
best for ourselves consistent with hu-
name duty to these others? Are there
evils Of retention Of the Philippines
which outweigh the good we may
achieve for ourselves by retaining
them?
We are Of those who hold, under
