Before Santiago, via Kingston, July
11.--One secret OF the determination
OF the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to
fight to the death was the belief wlsi.!l
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans
would be pm. to the sword.
1t is known that after the fall Of El
Gauey July the Spanish soldiers who
escaped along the foothills marched
directly into General Garcia's men,
posted to the north Of Santiago. They
fought desperately, but were shown no
mercy by the Cubans, and were ma
cheted to the last man. General Dell
rine, who was in command. was bru-
tally mutilated. The knowledge OF
this massacre found its way into Santi-
ago and prompted the spaniards to die
rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender Of some Of
the wounded Spanish officers and men
has dispeIled the delusion, and is help
ing to induce General Tolal to consider
the proposition to capitulate.
After the fall of Ell Gauey the Gu
bans sacked the town. Information Of
the two outrages were promptly sent to
General Shafter, who issued orders
that any Cuban found riding the bodies
of dead or wounded Spaniards woull
be promptly dealt with.
To prevent the possibility Of Cubans
plundering Santiago when it capitu-
lates it has been decided to forbid the
Cubans entering the town.

The American troops under General
Anderson, which have reached the
Philippines, are now comfortably quar-
tered in the Spanish military barracks
at Cavite, and are busy preparing for
active service against the Spaniards.
No attack on Manila is probable before
the arrival of the second detachment Of
troops under General Greene, which
is expected soon. The present force OF
soldiers and marines is considered in
sufficient to protect life and property
in Manila in the event Of the capitu-
lation OF that city. The soldiers, how-
ever, are all eager to begin the lighting.

ATTACKS ON PUERTO RICO.
The Island Has Never Been Taken
Until Now, Though Attempted
by English and Dutch.

Formerly regarded as the key to
South America, Puerto Rico has never
been taken until now. 1t has had the
storm for ally, fever, too. Twice Eng
land attacked it, The Spaniards beat
her off. Once they beat the Dutch.
But though the island has never been
taken the island has been sacked, says
Golfers Weekly. 1t took pirates TO do
IL, though. The first was a choice
person named Drake. Accounts of the
adventure differ, but they agree in
this: His marines were dressed in
silk, his ships were rugged with
damask, his topsails were cloths OF
gold. They were as beautifully
equipped. They carried basililks, cul-
Terins, serpentines and bombardes.
The latter the old prints describe a
mortar pieces furnished with hollow
shot stuffed with fyrework," the
smallest part whereof hitting a mau
being guaranteed TO spell him. More
effective for caravels and caracks than
Camara's chemicals, they were first
used for shelling purposes just 310
years ago. 1t was Il little later that
Drake appeared with them in the har-
Dor of San Juan. When he left, the
shop was in ruins and his ballast was
ducatoons. Drake had Elizabeth be-
hind him. Cumberland, who followed
him there. was an equally choice but
entirely private corsair. What he did
was on his own hook. What he lacked
was the steady gale of good fortune
which his colleague enjoyed. Though
he took San Juan, fever took his men.
Thereat suspecting, as an ancient
chronicler naiveiy relates, that the
Spanish had some treacherous design
on foCt," he broke away with but n
pearl chest for souvenir. Since then
the island has withstood the attacks
of three distinct fiotillas. There IS
luck in odd numbers. Now for the
change.

Antioutty Of the PROTOCOL.

That instrument called protocol"
which stopped the war between the
United States and Spain, derives its
name from very ancient times. Like
many other English words derived
from other languages, "ProtoccF has
long since lost its original meaning.
1t is derived from the Greek "rrotos,'
meaning first, and "koIlan," meaning
glue, and meant originally a sheet
glued in front Of manuscript, bear
ing the writer's name and other par
ticulars. From this the meaning
evolved into that OF rough draft of
document. and was 50 used by he R0-
mans, who called it 'protCco!ium."
The definition Of the word as used in
modern diplomacy is given as rough
draft on any document or document
preliminary to some transaction. 1t
is likewise defined as "a diplomatic doc
drcnt or minute Of proceedings signed
2y friendly powers in order o secure
certain diplomatic ends by peaceful
means" 1t is the meaning given be-
fore the last that must be applied to
the instrument signed by Ambassador
9ambon ana Secretary Day. This Is
a preliminary instrument created to
secure peace at once, and is at the
same time a rough draft Of the prob
able future agreement. - Chicago
