Washington. July 16.-The frs; chap
ter in the land campaign of the Unit
ed States against Spain closed yes1er-
day when the Spanish colors gave
place over Santiago to the American
flag. Next will follow the transporta-
ton of the Spanish troops back TO
their native land and the capture of
the island Of Puerto Rico unless peace
soon inrervenes. The siege of Santi-
ago had lasted two weeks and was re-
markable in many respects, and IN
none more than the heavy percentage
Of loss through death. wounds or sick
ness Of the soldiers and sailors en-
gagged on both sides. Looking back
over the record Of those two weeks it
is seen that great ironclad squadron
has been destroyed. that nearly a
thousand Spanish sailors have been
drowned or killed by shell and flame.
ana that an untold number of Spanish
soldiers have died in the trenches Of
Santiago On the other hand about
$50 American soldiers have been killed
and in round numbers, 1000 more
have been sent to hospitals from
wounds. fevers and other ailments.

with the forts at the entrance Of the

that the Puerto Rican expedition

warriors in the trenches before Santi-
ago have distinguished themselves and

con1agion. The sick soldiers will be
nurscd back to health and brought tc
the United States as soon as they can
be safely removed. Immune regi

commanded by Gen. Miles, though

Camp Thomas, is expected to be his
main dependence. The size of the eX
petition will depend upon Gen. Miles
wishes, although it is believed that
25.OOO men will be sufficient for the
purpose. At San Juan the navy will
be of greater assistance than it was al
Santiago, owing to the possibility OF
approaching the town more closely
without risking contact with mines
Gen. Brooke Is htE OF his way te

to make his views known to the de

determination to make short work OF
the Puerto Rican affair. There will be
plenty Of transports available for the
expedition, as the government has de
vised other means Of removing then
on these transports. The territory sur
! rendered to US by Gen. TOral makes
about 5000 square miles. The Span
ish soldiers to be sent to Spain are
estimated at 10000 men.
