1t was amazing that Spain seemed to lack
all comprehension of her deplorable condi-
ton. Her best fleets have been wiped out,
her hold on the Philippines is practically al
an end and now she has approved General
Torafs surrender of five thousand square
miles of Cuban soil. And yet he said, Spain
seems to take no account OF her misfor-
tunes, and to adopt no means TO limit the
extent of her defeat and losses. Under such
circumstances, he said, the only thing left
for this country to do is TO press on until
Spain reaches some comprehension of her
impotence. 1t is with this end in view that
active steps are being taken for further ag
greSsive campaigns
Secretary Day had a conference with the
President to-day. He said that nothing
bearing upon the question of peace had been
received from Spain, either directly or r-
directly. From other sources IL is learned
that the government does not look for peace
overtures for some time to come, and prob
ably not before the fall OF Havana As 1t
is understood to be the policy of the Pres
ident TO postpone the Havana campaign I'M
I'll next autumn. the belief exists in high
official circles that the Spaniards will put
OFF the inevitable until their last stronghold
in Cuba is lost before making an effort
looking to cessation of hostiities.

Troops May BE Landed ON the South
ern Coast of Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The question of
transports for the Porto Rico expedition
and that of providing subsistence for the
army which is to go there was the topic
which occupied the attention of the Off
Gals of the quartermasters and the SUBJ
sistence departments of the army during
the entire afternoon. There are ample
transports available scattered all along the
Atlantic and gulf coasts and at Santiago
and these will be concentrated as rapidly
as possible at the embarking points Sub
sistence stores also are abundant at some
of the points from which the troops are to
start, and these will be supplemented by
additional supplies as fast as they are
needed. A vast quantity will be shipped
from Newport News, and orders have been
given for dispatching to that place 100000
pounds of these stores and 100000 pounds of
refrigerated beef
The officials of the department were busy
studying the map of Porto Rico with a view,
among other things, of determining the
most available port to which to send the
army and the supplies. They would not say,
however, which one had been selected. 1t
was suggested in some quarters that the
army might land on the southern coast near
the city of Ponce, to the southwest of San
Juan. Ponce is situated on plain about
two miles from the seaboard, is the resi-
dence of the military commander of the
district and is commercially the second city
of Importance on the island. A fine road
leads to the port (playa), where is situated
the custom house, the office of the captain
of the port and all the consular officers.
The port is spacious and will hold vessels
of twenty-five. feet draft. an important
consideration in the landing. The city prop
er has no military defenses, but in the hills
to the north of the town a series of earth
intrenchments have lately been constructed.
West of Ponce where the railroad and mill
tary road touch the shore, earthworks have
been constructed to guard this strategic
point. There are about thirty mountain
howtzers in Ponce available for the de-
Tense of the city and the railroad. The
army if landed there would be compelled
to travel fifty or sixty miles across the
mountainous country to reach San Juan.
There is, however, main road. irregular
and circuitous, connecting Ponce and San
Juan The northern coast of the island ex-
tends in an almost straight line from east
to west and is high and rugged. The
harbors it has are the following San Juan.
surrounded by mangrove swamps and pro-
tected by the Cabras and the Cabritas
islands and some very dangerous banks; the
anchoring ground of Arecibos somewhat un-
protected and which has been mentioned as
a possible landing place, and the coves of
Cangrejos and Condado. During the present
season the ports on this coast are safe and
commodious unless visited by hurricanes.

The Glacier Ready to Sail.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The provision ship
Glacier formerly the Port Chalmers), which
has been fitting out for some weeks at the
navy yard, is now ready for her first trip
under the American flag, and will sail to-
morrow or Wednesday for Santiago. She
will carry a very large quantity of meat,
provisions and vegetables to the American
war vessels now off the Cuban coast. and
in addition to these she will bring a lot of
general supplies which much needed
on the war ships. Tugs were to-day bring
ing supplies and ammunition to the naval
transport Resolute, which arrived here last
night. The vessel will sail again tomorrow,
but she will have two additional six-pound-
ers on board for her protection. These were
put in position to-day, making four guns
in all. Several immune nurses, who came
here from New Orleans will go on the Res

Spanish Schedules Modified and the

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The President
has signed the tariff measure for Santiago
and it takes effect tomorrow. 1t adopts in
general the privileged rates now given
Spain there and makes that tariff uniform
for all countries, including the United
States. The tariff was signed after a brief
conference late this afternoon with Secre-
taries Gage and Alger. The instructions
were Immediately cabled to the authorities
in charge of Santiago by Secretary Alger
so that the tariff can be put in force to-
morrow morning. The new tariff abolishee

If weather Is Not Bad.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 1S.+-Captain
Cook of the Brooklyn, is authority for the
statement that the former SPANISH flagship.
the Infanta Maria Teresa, has hoated off
the reef on which she stranded, and that
her heavy armament is practically unn-
jured. The captain also says this cruiser
will almost surely be saved. and for an ad-
dition to the United States navy a trophy
of the glorious July 3.
The Cristobal Colon may also be saved,
though a good deal depends on the weather,
which is very uncertain at this time of the
year. A heavy storm might drive the
cruiser so high on the coral reef that 1t
would be impossible to float her. Many of
the naval men are outspoken in their crit
icism of the treatment of the Colon imme-
diately after her surrender. They believe
the ship could have been saved when she
slipped back from the reef INTO deep water
had divers, carpenters and machintsts. with
a competent prize crew, been sent on board
of he.
The crew of the Brooklyn regarded the
Vzcaya as their particular enemy ever since
the time when they were both present at
Queen Victoria's jubilee display. when there
was much comment abroad on what good
fight might be expected between the two
ships il they ever met
OF the four big ships which were in Adj

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A French war
ship will be the first foreign ship 20 salute
the American flag flying on Cuban soil.
Word has been received here that the
French cruiser Rigault de Gencilly has
been ordered to Santiago. The Rigault de
Genoilly has arrived at Guantanamo, which
is only a few miles from Santiago. The
first formality on arriving at Santiago is
for the foreign war ship to salute the flag
of the government of the port. Had the
ship arrived before yesterday noon her
formal salutation would have been to the
Spanish flag then waving over Santiago,
but as her arrival will be after the raising
Of the American colors the salute will be

The problem of notifying the Spanish troops
