Now THAT peace is assured, Cuba
and Porto Rico will become the prop
erty of the United States-Porto Rico
at once, and Cuba by regular success
sion of events which may be regarded
a. inevitable. 1t seems strange that
during an existence of more than q
hundred years the United States has
never before acquired an island in the
West Indies. When this is considered,
there is nothing more ridiculous than
the talk of imperialism. The people
have stood in their own light during
all of that time. 1t is easy to imagine
a situation in which want of one of
these islands might have been very dis
astrous to this country; bat the Uni
ted States has had exceptional luck
throughout its history, and, while that
luck may be perpetuated, it will not do
as basis for craftsmanship any longer.

date nominated, whoever he may be,
but they are not in humor 10 quietly

In the Yankee Santiago.

The Santiago storekeepers are reapin:
good harvest from our soldiers and
officers. Il is surprising to see how many
of our officers and not few of our COM
mon soldiers are familiar with the
Spanish tongue. A good interpreter is
always in demand, however. Aud how
the shopkeepers do rob the Americans on
exchange. An American dollar is worth
two Spanish dollars, bat ia the beginning
our men did not know this, and Arneri-
can gold was given for Spanish silver
values. Our paper money is already cir
culating in the town. 1t is much sought
after.
The Spaniards also believe the Ameri-
cans are honest. A tailor discovered
that he was giving gold values for paper
money calling for redemption in silver.
He gathered up nearly 500 worth of sill
yer certificates and hurried with il to a
banker. His relief was beyond words
when he learned they were worth as
much as gold.
The city pawnshops are overstocked,
and many a souvenir of the Cuban cam
paign that goes back to the United States
has come from these places. Old Spanish
silver and jswelry, watches and even
magnificent carved leather chairs, made
centuries ago in old Spain, will remind
certain Americans of Santiago. But of
the many souvenirs a good machete,
bought from Spanish officer. is the mnst
popular. The owners have still many
weary marches. aud what is bought and
well paid for to-day will perhaps be later
thrown away. The iiberality of Ameri-
can methods of local restriction and
proper safeguards for the preservation Of
order are noticeable to the Spanish.
There has been but one restanrant in
town where the American officers have
been able 20 find food. II is on the main
plszs, in front of the American flag on
the Palace, and its bill of fare has up TO
to-day been limited TO fish, meat, canned
green peas and coffee. A meal costs &
in gold. and the restaurant is coming
money. Drinkables have always been
plentiful. however. and champagne was
sold in large quantities. This restaurant
is the principal rendezvous for the for
eigners Of the city. and in default OF any
hote. in operation its prestige will con-
tinue.

spAIN'S ANSWER.
Received In Washington Monday
Afternoon.
x,K1KIEYs TERMS WILL NOT BE
ALTERED.

The reply Of the Spanish government
TO the peace conditions laid down by the
United States was resolved at Washing
ton shortly before 3 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon. The reply came in sections aud
in cipher and was not translated until a
late hour that night, and was theref 're
not presented to President Mckinley and
the cabinet until Tuesday afternoon.
From the forecast of the reply which has
been furnished it seems likely that while
Spain has made plain its intention to ac-
cert the principal demands Of the United
States. questions are raised which may
lead to some delay in the cessation Of
hostilities Al vital points are believed
to be conceded-the abandonment OF
Cuba and Porto Rico and the Lsdrones,
and the establishment of q commission
to pass upon the questions relating to The
Philippines. Late Monday afternoon the
President received an indirect intimation
that the Spanish reply had come - the
French embassy. A cabinet officer who
was with him at this time said on lesv-
ing:
'sThe information that has come from
Madrid about the action Of the Spanish
cabinet indicates that the Spanish have
accepted our terms in a general way, but
leave several questions open that we did
not include in the terms submitted. The
communication offering those terms was
explicit. specifically stating such points
as would be left open to further negotis.
tions. We will stand on those terms"
The administration has not yet given
serious consideration to the personnel OF
the peace commission, but it can be stated
that no one not in accord with the Presi-
dents present views as to the disposition
of the Philippines viii be appointed, and
Mr.. Mckinley favors keeping at least
Manila harbor and bay and sufficient ter
ritory around it for its support and pro-
lection. if not the whole of Lnzon island.

START MADE FROM SANTIAGO.
Evacuation Begun by shaftsr'. Army.

WASHINGTON. August The troops
of General Skaters command at Santi-
ago have begun to leave Cuba for the
United States. A part Of two regiments
of cavalry are now en- route from Santi-
ago to Montauk Point, Long Island, as
indicated in the following dispatch re-
ceived at the War Department from
General Shafler:
Adjutant General, Washington:
Gate City. with $50 men, Third and
Sixth Cavalry. has sailed for MontaGk
Point this morning.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. I, 1898.
(Signed) SHAFTER,
Major General.
Three other transports bearing troops
will leave Santiago tomorrow. and two
are scheduled to leave Tuesday. All Of
them will sail for Montauk Point
Secretary Alger is apprehensive that
the small W harfage resources of Santiago
will seriously retar6 the execution of the
departments orderS for the speedy re-
turn to the United States of Skaters
army corps. With the Spanish steamers
coming in to take away the surrendered
army Of General Toral. which must first
be removed before It will be safe to with
draw the whole of the American force, it
is going to be difficult to embark the lat
ter without incurring danger of a severe
congestion in the unhealthy town. Gen
eral Shafter has been called upon by
cable to describe the state of affairs, and
he will be given all the help in the power
of the War Department, but still it is be-
lieved that the whole of Skaters army
can not be embarked before the lst OF
Seq tember. Meanwhile the big hospital
and camp at Montauk Point is being
rapidly put in readiness for their recep-
tion. AS there is doubt as to the ability
of the transports to come alongside the
wharf in Fort Pond harbor, provision
will be made for number of light dram
side-wheel steamers. possibly New York
ferry boats, to take the men ashore from
the big steamers.

to Such an Extent That sn Epidemic

WOULD rRAcrIcAIIY DESTROY II.


Eight major and brigsdier generals OF
the army at Santiago have signed the fol-
lowing letter to General Shafter. and the
General has determined 10 insist that the
army be taken north within two weeks;
1--WE, the undersigned officers COM
manding the various brigades. divisions,
etc, Of the army of occupation in Cuba
are of the unanimous opinion that this
army should al once be taken out of the
island of Cuba and sent to some point ON
the northern seacoast of the United States,
that it can be done without danger 10 the
people of the United States, that yellow
fever in the army at present is not epi-
demic, that there are only few sporadic
cases. but that the army is disabled by
malarial fever to the extent that its Eff
cheney is destroyed and that it is in con-
dition TO be practically entirely destroyed
By an epidemic Of yellow fever, which is
sure to come in the near future.
1--WE know from the reports of compe-
tent officers and from personal observa-
tions that the army j. unable 70 move
into the interior, and that there are no
facilities for such a move il attempted,
and that it could not be attempted until
too late. Moreover, the best medical au-
thorities of the island say that with our
present equipment we could not live in
the interior during the rainy season with
out losses from malzrial fever. which is
almost as deadly as yellow fever.
''This army must be removed at once OF
perish. AS the army can be safely moved
now, the persons responsible for prevent
ing such a move will be responsible foi
the unnecessary loss of many thousands
of lives.

personal observation, and they are alsS
based on the unanimous opinion Of ouI
medical officers with the army, who un
derstand the situation absolutely"
