PROTECTION OF SPANISH.
Favorable Comment on the Meas
ures Adopted by Shafter.

LONDON, July 25.-The Times" in
its weekly war review expresses the
opinion that the measures taken by
General Shafter for the protection of
life and property at Santiago de Cuba
will exercise a definite influence upon
other parts of the island, where it will
be understood that Spanish loyalists are
not to be abandoned, whatever hap
pens. President McKinley's instructions
for the government of Santiago" the
article continues, will conform with
the pledges given before the war, and
form a precedent that proves a happy
augury in relation to American expan-
sion"
With reference to European criticism
of Commodore Watson's projected
cruise to the Spanish coast, the article
repeats the already avowed conclusion
of the Times that the policy of the
United States will not be modified
thereby.

HAVANA, July 22.-Delayed in

continuous rainfall, the whole island is
again experiencing the overpowering
effects Of the tropical sun, which ener-
Yates even the strongest persons and

smallpox, dysentery and other diseases
common to the rainy season.
Havana's people have become accus-

blockade, and are tired of watching the
movements of the blockading fleet,
which previously formed one of their
chief distractions, and now the parks
are again frequented by the inhab;-

ment are filling up.
At most of the theaters patriotic plays
are presented, containing references to
the war with the United States. the
allusions to the conflict invariably call

Borgona" by company whose leading
lady is Sonora Luisa Martinos Casdo,
a Cuban woman of great beauty, is
drawing large audiences from the best

churches, notably those of San Felipe

many elegant and rich toilettes are to
