CAMPOS EXPRESSES HIS HONEST
OPINION IN REGARD TO AFFAIRS

MADRID. July 2O.-Martinez Campos,
former captain-general of Cuba, has
issued an address to the people of Spain
tonight, saying that the present cabinet
must be kept in power until peace was
gained.
Speaking of Santiago. Campos said:
Surrender was inevitable, sooner or
later. 1t is impossible to resist in such
climate with lifted soldiers. The
Americans also suffered from the climate
but had more resources, being near their
country and could get everything they
wanted. Having powerful artillery
they would have been irresistible in the
end, chiefly considering that we had lost
our squadron. Santiago could do moth
ing else but surrender. Havana will
have to do the same thing, whether it
resists one month or six weeks. I am
persuaded, however. that the purpose OF

have broken out in Kwangsi, one in
Wachap and another in Lauchow. The
governor of Kwangsi has sent soldiers
to the rebellious districts. Trouble is
reported in Manchuria. Some think
the authorities are doing all they can to
drive the people into rebellion, or, ae
some say, into the hands of Russia.
Private letters speak in strong language
about the doings of the tsai-li-ti, a
powerful sect, something like the lao-hui.
These people are gathering in bands and
defying the petty local authorities.
They are strongly anti-foreign.
Reports are circulated that China in
tends to open the island of Changhain-
uen, near Canton, as a treaty port, to
prevent Germany or any other power
from gaining it. The island in question
is better known as st. Johns. It is sit
uated to the southwest of Msco, between
that colony and the new French possess
sion of Kwang Chau.
Chin Box Kwa, a rebel chief of For
mosa, was enticed by Japanese officials
to surrender under false sense of ee-
curity and then bar barously executed.
A Pekin telegram says that England
has objected to the borrowing of funds
from Russia and France for the con-
struction of railway from Pekin to
Hankow.
The important features of the treaty
just concluded between Japan and Siam
are the retention of the stipulation for
deciding by the arbitration of a third

the Americans is now to get hold of Por-
to Rico and to try to make good their
claims on it.
"The Americans have strength and
consequently will have all. It is i'm
possible to live on the glorious memo
ries preserved in old historical parch-
ments. 1 believe the government acted
too rashly in refusing to accept the
American ultimatum. 1 would have
waited to receive the ultimatum. Apart
from that, I am persuaded that the
Americans wanted nothing but war.
They continued to help the insurrec-
ton after Spain had granted autonomy,
but punishment has arrived for the
Cubans and for the Yankees.
'sThe Cubans will fight the Yankees
in the end the same they fought Spain,
cruelty and relentlessly. They will lose
in the end but the cost to. the Americans
will be terrible"

MILES WAITING
NAVAL CONVOYS
He Has Transports Ready to Start for
Porto RicO---Sampson Ordered to
Get Move on Himself.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-General Miles
last night notified the secretary of war
that he is waiting at Guantanamo for
necessary naval conveys. He says he
has ten transports at his disposal, and
they are probably loaded and ready to
start for Porto Rico.
Miles accuses Sampson of red tape and
needless delay. The var department at
once ordered Sampson to get move on
himself.
The date of the departure of Watson's
squadron to attack the Spanish coast
becomes more uncertain. It is believed
now that Watson must wait until the
vessels for the Porto Rico expedition
are selected and perhaps until naval
operations of Porto Rico are completed.

1t Is difficult to see how the large
body of Spanish troops at Holguin can
fail to surrender very soon, although
reinforced by the Spanish forces from
Gibara. Holguin is one of the COM

the surrender of it's garrison will be

the moment the Spanish vessel exhausted her
first burst Of speed the result was never in
doubt. She fell. in fact, far below what
might reasonably have been expected of her.
Careful measurements of time and distance
give her an average speed-from the time she
cleared the harbor mouth until the time she
was run on shore at Rio Tarquifia-of 1877
knots. Neither the Oregon nor BROOKLYN
stopped to couple up their forward eng mes,
but ran out the chase with one pair, getting
steam, of course, as rapidly as possible on
all boilers. To stop to couple up the forward
engines would have meant a delay of fifteen
minutes, or four miles in the CHASE.
