Spanish guns. No news Of decided
engagement has been received up to
this time, but word has been received
through the cable officers that the fir
ing was resumed yesterday morning at
daybreak.
General Shafter is reported as say
ing, ''I shall not be surprised if We
have Santiago in three days. y
General Toral offered to surrender
Santiago provided the Spanish garri-
son were allowed to march out with
side arms and have twenty miles start
without molestation; agreeing also not
to destroy the ships in the bay, am
munition in the forts or the buildings
in the city. But, acting under Presi-
dent Mckinley $ instructions, General
Shafter notified General Toral that
the United States would accept no
terms but immediate and uncondition-
al surrender. General Toral rejected
this proposal, adding that he would
discuss no other terms than those
suggested by himself. He was then
notified by General Shafter that the
armistice would terminate and hostiii-
tiles be resumed at 4 o'clock.
The casualties in the engagement
Sunday afternoon, as reported by
General Shafter, are two killed and
four wounded.
General Shafters fighting strength
at present is %, $50 men, aud it will
be swelled to $4,000 by the middle Of
this week. The men are reported in
excellent health.
The fear is expressed among officials
at Washington that during the armis-
tice majority Of the Spanish soldiers
escaped, after looting the houses Of
refugees; that Shafter permitted the
parleying to last too long, thus afford
ing an opportunity for escape with
arms and provisions.

adopted is the same which passed the

fixed to the resolutions these words
which made them law:

CUBA.

Most OF our readers have, perhaps,
pretty clear knowledge of the geo.
graphical characteristics of Cuba, but
know little of its wonderful ,sources,
and have been badly misled as to ite
climate and fitness fer inhabitation.
The following information obtained
from reliable source cannot fail to
impress one with the fact that no
country on the globe presents richer
field for commercial and industrial en-
terprise, nor offers more promising
opening to the young men of America.
Up to 1895 Cuba's wealth was estima.
ted in round numbers at $3.50, 100000,
and she managed to pay annually into
Spain treasury the enormous tribute
Of $3O,OOO,OOO. Cuba contains 35,-
900, 900 acres of land, of which only
1900, 600 acres are under cultivation,
100000 acres being natural pastures.
Il, 600, 900 acres original forest areas,
and the balance, 1000, 600 acres, waste
tracts.
Cuba's coast line measures 1900
miles, ,.and 200 sheltered landings in
dent it, forty Of which are accessible
to ships Of the largest size. With 200
rivers traversing its soil and giving its
interior places direct water communi-
cation with the ocean harbors, the
possibilities which this rich island, SO
near our own shores, holds out, is
marvellous. In 1894 Cuba's produc-
tion Of sugar aggregated 1,O52,214
tons. Since that time, on account Of
Generalization caused by hostilities,
it has not been SO great.
Next to sugar, the tobacco crop in
Cuba reaches annually, under normal
conditions, 100000 bales, or about
6O,OOO,OO pounds. In addition to
semi-tropical fruits Of every kind pro-
dused in abundance, Cuba possesses
rare mineral deposits, such as gold,
silver, iron, copper and manganese,
and the timber resources are unsur-
passed. by any country on earth.
The popular notion now prevailing
in regard to the climate Of Cuba is
that it is oppressive, and that yellow
fever prevails in every part of the is
land the year round This notion is
decidedly erroneous. The average
temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit
in summer and 72 degrees in winter,
and while yellow fever is prevalent in
the coast cities during summer, due to
the lack of proper sanitary cautions,
it is unknown in winter, and seldom,
if ever, known in the interior. 1t
would hardly be putting it too strong
to say that Cuba, under proper sani-
tary cautions, would be the garden
spot of the world.
Recurring to the sugar crop of Gu
ba, the following table will show the
purchases which each country has

London, July IA special dis
patch from Madrid says: Cali the
talk OF peace seems, up to the present,
to have led to no tangible results.
No doubt the government would well
come an opportunity to negotiate di-.
rectly with the United States were the
signs propitious, but there are so many
circumstances to be considered that it
looks as though the policy Of drift and
waiting for something to turn up would
continue until Santiago has fallen.
''The fall of Santiago will convince
the most sanguine of the hopelessness
Of the struggle, aud will give the Gov
ernment the desired opportunity at
least to suggest an armistice for the
consideration of terms.
"Circumstantial statements are al
ready in circulation to the effect that
the war is virtually ended and that
the Government has actually opened
peace negotiations, but they cannot be
verified.
GA detailed account has been pub
lished Of Spain's naval losses-21 war
ships and 81 merchantmen, as against
practically no losses on the American
side. This tends to convince the most
rabid war advocates, and, as for a long
time past, the whole commercial and
industrial interests Of Spain are bring
ing strong influences to bear in favor
Of peace.
every day that passes without dis
turbances strengthens the peace party.
It is believed, however, that there is
strong undercurrent in favor of con-
tinuing the war, and the attitude Of
the Carlists and Republicans causes
anxiety. A mysterious black-edged,
unsigned manifesto appeared in the
leading squares Of Madrid to-day, (Sun-
day. bearing the municipal stamp and
headed Gloria Victis, with an angel
supporting dead, naked soldier.
The manifesto contains an eloquent
appeal from Spanish mothers, calling
for the regeneration of the country on
the basis of the army, and crying:
Down with bribed politicians and a
bought press. -Four million copies of
this manifesto have been distributed
throughout Spain, and it is attracting
considerable attention.

In 1896 the five largest consumers
of Cuba's tobacco crop made pur-
chases as follows United States, Sl2,-
691, TAB; Germany, 50, 231 .75O; Spain,
s1,872,587; England, $3.50, ,483;
France, $544, 123. Thus it appears in
regard to the tobacco crop, as we'll as
in regard to the sugar output, this
country monopolizcd the great bulk of
Cuba's exports.
All this being true, when the pres
ent war is ended. Cuba will offer to
this country one of the richest Fl Ids
on the globe for commercial and in
dustrial enterprises, whether it be as
an Independent country or as a new
star in the galaxy of States of the
United States.
