LONDON PRESS COllMENT
Impossible for Spain to PAY
Cash Indemnity.
FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Will Be Impossible to Grant Independ-
enCe to tho Inhabitants of
tho Islands.

LONDON, July 2S.-The London
morning papers agree that it will be
impossible for Spain to pay indemnity
and that it is improbable that the
United States will demand money com.
pensation. They all concede that the
Spanish flag has gone from Cuba and
Porto Rico for ever. The future Of the
Philippines is regarded as presenting q
grave difficulties owing to the impossi-
bility of granting independence. The
general opinion is that the United
States will maintain coaling station
and have a reversion in the islands.
The Daily News says: ''It would be
an act of extreme generosity to leave
Spain in possession of tho Philippines.
but generosity is often the best policy.
If the United States should be content
with such reward of it's labors as
would leave the Philippines to Spain it
would set the world all example Of
conspicuous magnamity.'
The Daily Chronicle thinks that
some kind Of international protectorate
over the Philippines should be ar.
ranged.
The Daily Mail says: "We hope
President Mckinley will be moderate
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
should be ample compen sation without
indemnity"

FINE NATURAL HARBoR.
Guanica an Easy Place to Land Troops
Though Not Near San Juan.

1nOuSn NOT No0r San Ju1n.
WASHINGTON, July 28. = Guanica,
the point Of debarhation of the
Porto Rican expeditionary force, is
small town of 1000 inhabitants ON
the southern coast Of the island. On Il
rough calculation it is less than 20
miles on an air line from Ponce, and
65 miles from San Juan, against which
the assault is to be directed Guanica
is about six miles south OF Yuacoa, OF
which city it forms the port, and with
which it is connected by good
road. The town is situated on bay
of the same name, which forms one Of
the best ports in the whole island.
The banks to the right are steep, and
form q good natural wharf. Three
vessels can lie alongside and unload by
means of gang planks. Vessels of 30
feet draught can enter the bay easily,
and proceed c.ose inshore. Tho con.
spicuous advantage of this port, aside
from it's excellent harbor facilities for
the transports, is the utter absence Of
Notifications or mines.

OFFICERS AND MEN PRAISED
Work So Well Done That 1t Is
Difficult to Discriminate
in Eulogy.
Other Officers Speak in High
est Terms Of Conduct of
Their Men.

WASHINGTON, July 2S. Tho navy
department. has made public the re.
ports of Admiral Sampson, Commo.
dore Schley, Captain Clark Of the Ore.
gon and Captain Evans of the Iowa,
on the battle of July 5, which resulted
IN the destruction of Cervera's squad.
ron. The details of the engagement
are practically the same as already
published in those dispatches.
In his comments upon the battle Ad.
mlral Sampson says:
II regard this complete and impor.
tant victory over the Spanish forces as
the successful finish OF several weeks of
arduous and close blockade, so strin
gent and effective during the night
trat the enemy was deferred from
making the attempt to escape at night
and deliberately elected to make the at.
tempt in daylight. That this was the
case was informed by the command.
ing officer OF the Cristobal Colon.
Praise for Officers and Men,
"When all the work is done so we'll
it is difficult to discriminate in praise.
The object OF the blockade OF Cervera's
squadron was fully completed and each
man bore his part in it, the commodore
in command Of the Second division,
the captains of ships and their officers
and men. The fire of the battleships
was powerful and destructive and the
resistance Of the Spanish squadron was
i'll great part broken almost before
they had got out OF range of their own
forts. The great speed of the Oregon
enabled her to take front position in
the chase and the Cristobal Colon did
not give up until the Oregon had
thrown l3.inch shell beyond her.
This performance adds to the already
brilliant record of this fine battleship,
and speaks highly of tho skill and care
with which her admirable efficiency
has been maintained during a service
unprecedented in the history of vessels
of her GLASS. The Brooklyn's westerly
blockading position gave her an ad.
vantage in the chase, which she main.
tanned to the end, and she employed
her fine battery with telling effect.
The Texas and New York
Were Gaining on the Chase
during tho last hour, and had any acci.
dent befallen the Brooklyn or Oregon
would have speedily overtaken the
Cristobal Colon. From the moment
the Spanish vessel exhausted her first
burst of speed the result was never in
doubt. Size fell, in fact, far below
what might reasonably have been ex.
pected OF her. Careful measurements
OF time and distance give her an aver
age speed-from the time she cleared
the harbor mouth until the time she
was run on shore at Rio Tarquina-of
1877 knots. Neither the Oregon nor
Brooklyn stopped to couple up their
forward engines, 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 delay Of Is min.
utes, or four miles, in the chase"
The reports of Commodore Schley
and Captains Clark and Evans also
speak in the highest terms af the con.
duct of their men, and make special
mention of many whose bravery and
Qallantrv was consnicnons

No Saying What Terms Spain Will Offer

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Naturally

lecture on what the terms OF peace will

this country is concerned it is the gen.
eral impression that the complete Span.

will be insisted upon Us a sine qua non.
There is not the same certainty Us to
the Philippines, Ladrones and Caro-.
lines. although the belief is growing
that the terms Of the United States
will include coaling stations in these
grounds.
Spain Realizes Her Misfortune.
On the part of Spain it is believed
that she has now reached such a
realization Of her misfortune that she
will readily consent to the terms for
the evacuation of Cuba and probably
Porto Rico. Tho Spanish desire is ap.
parently very strong for tho retention
OF the Philippines, although there is
little doubt that coaling stations there
and at other points will be con ceded.
The matter of war indemnity is for
future consideration, although there
does not appear to be disposition
among the officials hero to pile up a
heavy war indemnity against Spain in
her present helpless condition.

CAME AS A SURPRISE.

War Department Did Not Expect Miles
to Land nt Guanica.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The news of
the landing OF General Miles at Guam.
lea, on the southwest shore of Porto
Rico, came as a genuine surprise to
the war Department.. 1t had been all
carefully planned that he was to make
his landing at another point as remote
as possible from the place where he
actually landed, SO there was little
wonder that the officials received the
first news of the landing with incre.
duilty and even went to the length of
supposing that the story had been put
af1oat in order to distract attention
from the point which had been selected.
Just why General Miles made this
wide departure from the plans of the
department is not known but it is sup.
posed he gathered some information
since he left Siboney that induced him
to make the change. The result, how.
ever. has been to
Perplex tho Department Officials.
deeply and to considerably derange
their carefully prepared programme for
the remainder of the expedition. It
will now be necessary to intercept the
sections of the expedition already at
sea heading for certain selected points
on the coast of Porto Rico and to ad.
wise them of the change in the plans.
However, it is matter for con gratu.
lation to the war department that Gen.
eral Miles has managed to set foot on
Porto Rico before the first overtures for
peace and TINS to place the island in
the same position as Cuba and the
Philippines, namely, as territory at
least partially in the possession of the
United States at the beginning Of the
negotiations.
