having virtually lost her colonies
cannot lose much more, but Can
inHict more damage upon her adj
varsary than she can incur. 1t is
highly significant, however, that
the prospect of and possible con
ditiDus of peace are now freely
discussed, even in the Madrid
press and political circles. The
diploma'ic corps aud the courtiers
think peace to be imminent the
moment when the fall of Santiago
and Manila allot to either the pre-
sent cabinet or its successor to
propose it, provided the United
States does not make terms so
harsh AS to play unconsciously
into the hands Of the Carlists, Re
publicans and other parties eager
for a revolution and civil war.
Before Santiago.
Camp Juragua, Wednesday,
June 30, via Kingston, JAM,
Thursday, June 30.-Msjor Gene
raj Skater decided today to es
tsblish headquarters in the field
and will occupy a tent tonight
with General Wheeler until he
has decided upon a permanent
location for his headquarters.
There is every indication that Ju
ragua will cease to be headquar
ters for the army other than for
the medical and commlssary de
partments in two or three days.
A sufficient force to guard the
place will be left there probably
from the volunteer force of 5000
men now coming from Tampa or
Aeusdores, making the base of
operations before Santiago de
Cuba at that place. The railroad
from here to Santiago Is being
rapidly pushed by the engineers
and large force of troops. Its
completion will greatly simplify
the shipment of supplies, and the
pack trains will have no more ar
duous work than transporting
food and ammunition from point
to point at the front. The siege
guns were landed at Baiquiri last
night and have started for the
front.
