THINKING ABOUT 1T.
American Officers Believe San
tiagO Will Surrender.

Copyright, 1885, by Associated Press.)
In Front of Santiago, July 8. by the
Associated Press Dispatch Boat Gym
thia Il, via Port Antonio, via King
ston, Jamaica, July 9.-There has been
absolutely no change in the situation
at Santiago de Cuba during the past "A
hours. The Spanish authorities are
taking time to consider the proposition
to surrender and no answer will be
made before noon tomorrow.
Gable operators at the request of the
Spanish officials have been allowed to
enter Santiago and the matter of the
surrender of that city is now being con-
sidered with Madrid direct.
The general feeling among the Amer
lean officers is that the surrender will
be made, not necessarily tomorrow
Saturday, but they believe that date
will be the beginning of the final nego-
tiatiOns.
The Spanish authorities request that
hereafter all communications to them
be made in Spanish ''as the officers who
did the transIating for US are no longer
with u.s.
orders have been issued that each
regiment in the American lines hoist
flag on the trenches in front of the pO-
SitiOn 1t occupies. This gives the Span
iards an excellent idea of the extent
and location of our lines, but it also
makes a very imposing appearance.
This morning nearly a score Of stand
ards were huttering at different points
along the works which are now nearly
four miles long, and enclosing the city
on two sides.
It has been proposed that a battalion of
sharpshOOters be formed from each regi-
mental battalion in the army. to be COM
manded by officers of practical proficien-
cy as markSmen and hunters. It is said
that this battalion would be able to clear
the region near the army of the pestif-
other covers, make many attempts. some
of them successful, to assassinate wound
rear During the truce, which has now
lasted four days. there has been none of
this murder business going on, and the
American officers therefore conclude that
the guerillas have been engaged in this
miserable work under the direct orders
or control of the Spanish leaders. Several
commissions from Spanish authorities to
act as guerilla leaders have been picked
up on the battlefelds of San Juan and Ell
Caney.
The story published by a New York
paper to the effect that the Spanish pris-
Oners have been turned over to the Gu
bans. who killed them, is without the
slightest foundation in fact. No prisoners
have been turned over to the CubanS at
any time.

would almost inevitably result in prices
dropping to a lower level.
The doubt in the speculative outlook is
founded on the uncertainty still prevail
ing regarding the size of this country 5
wheat crop and the prices which the
worlds demands will make for it. The
possibility that the taking up Of the gov
eminent loan will result in higher money
is also taken into account. The latter
part of the week has tended to resolve the
doubts on both these points. The winter
wheat harvest. while not up to earlier es-
Inmates. is still seen to be large; spring
wheat prospects are good, and the worlds
available supply is seen to be little bet
ter than this time last year, while re-
serves have certainly been largely de-
pleted. Confidence is felt that the gov
eminent will find means to avoid strain
ing the money market in taking up its
loan.
It is evident also that Spain is. appreci-
ably nearer the end of her depleted re-
sources and peace correspondingly nearer.
The assurance that money will not COM
mand much higher rates on loans has led
to absorption of railroad bonds and
very substantial buying of high class di-
vidend paying stocks, which are most sig
nificant of confidence in the business out
look.

HONOR FOR AMERICA.
Winner of Henley Regatta Originally
From This Country.

Worcester Mass, July 9.-Ned Ten
Eyck, last years holder of the Dia-
mond skulls, was not very enthusiastic
over the result of the Henley regatta,
in which Howell, the American, was
the " inner.
Yes" he said, 'I knew Howell quite
well when I was in England year
ago. I rowed against him, and my time
was 8 minutes SO seconds, for the dis
lance. 1 beat him about a length. I
have no comment to make on the race,
but would say that Howell must be
pretty good if he is good enough to
win, and what more can man do
than win? He won the race and got
the record. do not know that the
conditions were any more favorable
than they were last year. They were
favorable enough then. found no
fault. There was no wind and the
course was suitable for good time
My time, minutes, SO seconds, was
equal to the record of the course which
was held by Guy Nickalls. AS far as
the race is concerned, there are five or
six men in this country who could win
the Diamond SOULS if they tried OF
course have nothing to say about last
year when I won the trophy, but I now
name Whitehead and Mcguire of Bos-
ton; Juvenal of Philadelphia, and Evan
Lewis of this city, as men capable of
winning the SOULS. The men here do
not row the same distances. The course
there is one mile and $50 yards straight
away, While the usual course in this
country to correspond to that distance
is mile and a half with a turn.
so far as Howell is concerned, I
found him a gentleman when I met him,
and I am glad he won the SOULS. 1t
makes no difference to me who wins,
except that I like to see the best man
get there and like to see the cOndi-
tiOns favorable for the best work a
man can do. But of course, [ am glad
an American won it, if Howell is an
American. have been told that he is.
I am surprised though, Os thought
Blackstaff would be the winner. He
certainly rOWed faster last year, and
Howell must have improved greatly
after the Henley last year. Blackstaf
beat Howell in the four and a half mile
race, and at the conclusion Howell was
thoroughly exhausted"
Ten Eyck did not care to say much
about himself or his work. He expects
to row in the national at Philadelphia
this month. He win row in the senior
single and in the double with Lewis of
this city. Lewis will also row in the
senior single.
