The Spanish loss was two sailors

the latter was the commander of the

He May Be Made an Actual Rear
Admiral.
Washington, July g.. - 1t has been
Acting Admiral Sampson for some
time, but that it will be Admiral Samp-
son in fact as we'll as in name is the
prevailing feeling in naval circles as a
result of the victory reported by the
American admiral. Shortly after the
war broke out Capt. Sampson was
made acting admiral in order to give
him a rank fitting his high comrrahd,
although his actual naval rank re-
mains at captain. BY a singular CO.
incident his rank was advanced YES
terday to that of Commodore owing to
the retirement of Admiral kirkland.
In the event of his o being made an
admiral ii would advance him over
the ten commodores making up the
list of that grade, and would put him
just below that very famous hero of
the war, Admiral Dewey. 1t is, of
course, purely ~conjectural thus far.
but it is a conjecture which secures
such Importance in naval circles that
1t is most likely to be realized.

Washington, July @. - The authori-
ties here, military and naval, say that
Santiago has already made it's best
fight. and that it's occupation is only a
question of time, and very brief time.
Gen. skaters very strong position
was shown in a series OF dispatches.
Most striking of all Is his feeling of
hope and strength in that dispatch
given out late in the day in which he
gives his terms for the surrender of
the city under pain of bombardment.
The following is the demand for the
surrender:
II shall be obliged, unless you sur
render, to shell Santiago de Cuba.
Please inform the citizens of foreign
countries and all women and children
that they should leave the city before
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Verv

WAR MOVES.
Spain's Home Ports and Puerto Rico
VIII He Touched Up.

~
Washington, July 6.-President Nc
Kinley and his advisers are fully bent
on following up the great advantage
gained over Spain In the Santiago vic
tory by an aggressive campaign in
other directions. They are hopeful that
Spain may soon recognize the utter
helplessness of her case and ask for
peace, but they are neither talking nor
seeking peace al this time. On the
contrary, the remarkable success of
the navy at Santiago and at Manila
has inspired the army with the de-
termination to try to divide honors i'm
the war, and active preparations are
in progress for widening the scope or
operations. An Eastern squadron,
nov being organized, is going to
SPANS coast, and an early lombard
ment and invasion of Puerto Rico are
TO take place.
