A WEEK OF H1sToRY-MAKING.
Achievements of the American Arms
Since Last sunday

The week just closed has been a preg-
nant. a history-making one FOR America.
1t has recorded the acquisition of new
territory Qsla Grande) in the Eastern,
and the virtual occupation of a strong
hold of the enemy in the Western Hem
isphere. True, Admiral Dewey's latest
victory was won on July s, but. as it was
not reported to the Administration until
last Thursday, 1t may be said to be
part of this glorious weeks achieve
ments.
Last Sunday The Times said: San
tiago is practically. ours" Today the
same sentence, with the word ''prac-
ticalIy'' eliminated, expresses the exact
truth.
The policy of the Administration may
have Leen Fabian a times, but it has
proved fruitful in the end.
As announced in these columns week
ago today the artful ToraF was promptly
informed that his surrender must be un-
conditional and that any favors shown
by his conquerors would be mere acts
of grace on their part.
He refused at first to accept this ult
matum and on Sunday afternoon opened
fire on the entrenched Americans. The
loss inflicted by his guns was slight and
the penalty he paid severe. The Amer
leans opened on him by land and sea,
the cannonade continuing as long as II
was light enough to train the guns.
"A desulbory fire was kept up all night
While Gen .Toral was pursuing his
Machiavelian policy III Cuba, the country
he worthily represents was making every
effort to convince the, powers that peace
would be acceptable on almost any terms
compatible with that doubtful quantity
known as Spanish honor.
Last Monday Madrid dispatch an
noufced to the world that the peace
party was steadily growing and that even
visers would welcome a cessation of hos
tilities on the basis of Cuban independ-
ence and tine relinqushment of Porto
Rico.
On the 18th. Gen. Miles reported his ar
rival at Santiago. He did not relieve
Gen. Shafter of his command, but work
ed in harmony with him, visiting the
American lines and otherwise giving his
personal attention to the details of the
work before the beleaguered city.
Gen. Shafter had previously dnnounc-
ed that he would keep Zip the lombard
ment on Monday. but this was not done,
for the reason that Gen. Toral asked for
more time to consider terms of surren-

His first proposition to withdraw with
his men and arms, had, of course, been
peremptorily declined, and he either had
to consult his government or else he pre-
tended that such a course was necessary.

The Spanish general announced his de-
termination 10 resist to the last, and il
then looked as if the city would have to

bombardment that day.
A flag of truce fioated most Of the day
Wednesday.
On Thursday genuine alarm was caused
throughout the country by the announce
ment that yellow fever had made its
appearance among the soldiers befo .
Santiago. The tactics of Toral were now
understood. He probably knew the refu-
gees would spread the plague, and hoped
to see the enemy of his country at
tackled by a deadlier foe than Spanish
rifemen armed with Mausers.
Coincident with the announcement that
the fever had appeared in the American
camp peace talk at Madrid ceased.
At a meeting between the lines the day
before, attended by Gems. Wheeler, Shaf-
ter and Toral. the latter had earnestly re-
quested that the truce be extended unul

Thursday was a red letter day. Gen.

Spanish general later undertook to dictate
certain terms which the Americans would
not listen to. and for more than twenty
four hours longer the country and the
army were kept in suspense
Meetings were held between the lines,

the instincts of his race, tried to make 1t
appear that Santiago was to be evacuated
