faction Is expressed by the president
and the military authorities at the sue
csssful ending Of the Santiago cam
paign. The more the results are con-
templated greater appears the cause for
congratulation and qualification. Spain
has yielded authority over the eastern
end Of Cuba, including about one-ffth
OF the whole territory Of the island.
She has surrendered an entire corps Of
the Spanish army. comprising almost
one-fourth Of her military establish
ment In Cuba. She has suffered the
loss OF her best feet, and the capture OF
l,5go officers and seamen. This has been
accomplished by American arms with
out the loss Of ship. and with fatali- |
ties 10 the army Of less than 25O. The
public buildings. munitions OF war. |
forts, and barracks fall into our hands |
intact.
Without Loss of More Lives.
Entire satisfaction with the results is
expressed by the administration. II |
particularly pleases the president TO |
have the city taken without assault or
sacrifice Of life. There Is also cause for |
gratihcation that IL was not made nee
essary 70 destroy Santiago and its de-
lenses. The people can be returned TO |
the city. Business can be resumed. The |
horrors and disturbing influences Of war
can be removed from considerable re-
g1on. Local government can be set I'D.
The independence Of part Of Cuba from
Spanish dominion is now established. |

spanish soldiers 70 Spain is a feature
which the president believes is alto |

Santiago, which for several days has

He has come 10 regard the return az
