JOB WAS DONE QUICKLY
Fall Of Santiago Accomplished
in Just Two Weeks.
OUR LOSSES WERE VERY HEAVY
Several Hundred Americans Dead and
About Two Thousand Sick
aud Wounded.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-The first
chapter in the land campaign Of the
United States against Spain closed
yesterday when the Spanish colors
gave place over Santiago to the Amer
lean flag.
The siege of Santiago had lasted two
weeks and was remarkable in many
respects, and in none more than the
heavy percentage of loss through
death, wounds or sickness of the sol.
diers and sailors engaged on both sides.
Looking back over the record Of these
two weeks it is seen that great iron.
clad squadron has been destroyed, that
nearly 900 Spanish sailors have been
drowned or killed by shell and fame
and that an untold number Of Spanish
soldiers have
Died In tho Trenches Of Santiago.
On the other hand about $50 American
soldiers have been killed and in round
numbers 1900 more have been sent to
the hospitals from wounds, fevers and
other ailments. Our feet had re.
markable exemption from disaster in
the many engagements it has had with
the forts at the entrance of the harbor
and with the Spanish squadron.
The sick soldiers at Santiago will be
nursed back to health and brought to
the United States as soon as they can
b. safely removed. Immune regiments
will be ordered to Santiago to garrison
the town. and, as previously stated,
two of these regiments are already I'M.
der orders to proceed.

COMPRISE ONLY new MEN

Believed $4,000 Men Will Be
Sufficient to Capture
the Island.

WASHINGTON, July Is. - "Next 10

receiving news of Santiago's formal
surrender, land then, if need be,

The secretary was in excellent spir.
its. He has been more anxious than he
dared to show as to the condition of
our sick soldiers and looked with ap-
prehension upon the possibility of q
prolongation of the struggle in the un'
healthy valley Of Santiago. The score.

ton would go forward Immediately.

selves and it il not deemed prudent to
bring them in unnecessary contact
with new troops in view Of the danger
Of spreading contagion.
General Miles VIII Command.
The Porto Rican expedition will be
commanded by General Miles, though
General Brooke, now in command at
Camp Thomas, is expected to be his
main dependence. The size Of the ex.
petition will depend upon General
Miles wishes, although it is believed
that $4,000 men will be sufficient for
the purpose. At San Juan the navy
will be of greater assistance than it
was at Santiago, owing to the posi-.
bility OF approaching the town more
closely without risking contact with
mines. General Brooke is now on his
way to Washington by direction of
Secretary Alger SO that he will be in
position to make his views known to
the department. The experience gained
in dispatching Skaters expedition, it
is expected, will aid the officials in
their determination to make short
work of the Porto Rican affair.
Peace May Interfere.
That the navy is ready to do its share
at short notice goes without saying.
Porto Rico is not expected to offer a
very formidable resistance. It is be.
ieved that the moral effect Of the sur.
render at Santiago will be to disoour.
age the defenders of San Juan. There
is, however, always the prospect that
peace may ensue before hostilities have
progressed against Spain's easternmost
West India island. Rumors were af1oat
during the afternoon to the effect that
the Spanish government had at last
made overtures in that direction. but
their basis was probably the current
belief that one more reverse to the
Spanish arms would be sufficient to
compel the Spanish government to sue
for peace and this reverse was fur.
nished by the surrender of Toral's
army.

Albany, Jan. THE deal between Thomas c.
Platt and Richard Croker in the appointment
OF Police and Aqueduct Commissioners in New
York has been conspicuous that It is natural
there should be suspicion that the compact
extends to legislation at Albany. 1t has been
rumored there was an agreement between Mr..
Platt and Mr.. Croker that the Rapid Transit
Commissioners should be superseded. that the
Court Of Special Sessions should be recon-
structed, that the Mayor should have authority
to remove the members OF the Board OF Educa-
ton and that the Board Of Police Magistrates
should be succeeded by members OF Tammany
Hall and the Platt machine.
1t is by no means certain that the Legislature
would pass these measures, for the number OF
independent Republicans has largely Increased
since the session OF 1897 but in any case Gov
ernor Black would have to be consulted, and he
is opposed to such measures. The bills men
