clerks have for some time been waiting at
Tampa prepared for this service. The or
der will go into effect Immediately upon
the landdng of United States troops at any
| point in Porto Rico.
| Without any very tangible reason there
has been a notable diminution of the op-
timistio expressions among officials to
the effect that an early peace might be
looked for. Possibly this temporary de-
preston is explainable by the fact that
private advices, entirely unofficial in char
acter, from sources of Information in Eu-
rope, Indicate that the situation in Spain
is such that there is no present hope of
overtures from Spain.
rparently in the most exasperating ig-
norance of the conditions in America. It
is apparent to the officials that the peace
party in Spain still feels itself too weak
TO insist upon demanding peace. It is
probably working in a quiet way to edu-
cate the Spanish people up to the point
where they can contemplate with resig
nation the acceptance of the minimum
peace conditions that might be expected
to form the basis of the United States
demands.
If the dominant party in Spain is un-
der the impression that the United States
proposes to denude Spain of all or nearly
all of her colonial possessions, it might
easily be conjectured that II would fa-
vor protracted resistance, beimg con-
vinced that it had little more at stake and
relying upon the European powers to pro-
tect the peninsula itself.
The warning notes from Europe, convey
ed through reputable newspapers, that
the United States is not to be left free to
conduct a campaign in Europe are inte1-
preted in some quarters as really the only
hopeful signs visible looking towards the
beginning of peace negotiations.
Bearing in mind the well recognized re-
luctancs of the European nations to allow
any interference with the balance of pow
er in Europe, it is assumed that the neu-
trail nations may now be spurred on by
knowledge of the approach of Watson's
Eastern Squadron to make the strongest
representations to Spain in the direction
of peace.
But regardless of the success of the ex-
pedition from this point Of view il is sill
the steadfast purpose of the admnistra-
ton to send a squadron to European
waters 1t feels justifiea in undertaking
this because the notion still prevails that
by striking a blow at Spain direct, and
the United States is not disposed to recog-
nize the right of any country or eombina-
ton of countries to prevent it from SEEK
ing the enemy where it is to be found-in
this case in Spain proper.
No official reports were obtainable this
morning at the War Department as to

In view of the possibility of an early
peace and the news from Cuba, the insur-
gents are renewing their activity. There
have been vigorous attacks and slight
bombardment on the outskirts of the City,
to which the spaniards replied with an
extravagant shelling.
The spaniards now say they do not be-
lieye the reinforcements promised them
will ever reach here. and they despair of
success, but they condemn the proposal
to retire to the citadel, which is utterly
defenceless, as such a step win merely
invite slaughter. Therefore, they believe
it would be better to surrender, but the
Spaniards are afraid of public censure.
However. they will probably be compelled
to surrender soon, as food is dangerously
scarce They may pretend to fight the
Americans, for the sake of appearances;
