The contract for carrying $4,000
Spanish prisoners to Spain has been
awarded to Compania Transatlantic
Espanola, a Spanish steamship com
pany. Their bid was 800 for each
private and $55 for each officer.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1898-07-22

The surrender of Santiago with
$4,000 troops completes the victories
of the army and navy. The flag of
the United States now waves over
the city of Santiago and the Eastern
end of the island. We have an ex-
cellent harbor protected by forts
which have withstOod the as
suits of the best guns in the United
States navy. We now have a sup
ply of the celebrated Mauser rifles
which will be turned against the
Spanish soldiers. The only drawback
TO the great victory is the appearance
of yellow fever in our army. 600 or
mere cases were reported the first OF
the week. The disease is reported
to be of very mild character and
few deaths have resulted from IT.
While it is difficult to foretell the
length of war, the result at Santiago
looks ike the beginning Of the end.
The Spanish troops were. almost en-
t;rsly without food and many Of them
were in a furnishing condition. Porto
Rico will probably be attacked as
soon as possible. Havana, it is said
viii not be attacked before the sickly
season is over. Ii now seems proba-
bile that the war will be over before
that time. Spain without a navy
and with an army without supplies
cannot afford TO keep up the Strug-
ole. The United States in the hour
Of victory can afford to be generous.
When we shall have accomplished
that for which the war was started,
we can we'll afford, to let Spain keep
her honor, for as people we have no
use for Spanish honor. Let us have
ncaee as soon as possible is the pasrio-
s;e cry Of every true American.

turn over the captured cities to them.

Our friend, Charley Carson, Of the
Warren Register is now worrying
himself about treason, and is dispos-
posed to regard the plain and truth
full utterances of the Alexandria
Gasstte and Shenandoah HERALD as
reasonable. Not bit of it. We
love our country as well as you do,
Charley, and we believe that one
American to-day is worth half regi-
ment of those Cubans for whom the
"trooly loyal" want to fight. We
have heard the cry oftreasOn before,
when babies were arrested for treason
because they happened to wear red,
and white stockings. We love our
own, country and our own people
more than we do other countries and
other people and if that be treason,
make the most Of it.
