ANXIETY IN SANTIAGO.
Trade Hats for Fear Cubans Will
Get Control.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 2S.-5:10 P.
| M.-Delayed in transmission)-A panicky
feeling prevails In business circles here,
owing to the uncertainties oc the
turn the town over to the Cubans, for
self-government. No confidence exists.
owing to the uncertainties of the
future. Orders given during the first
days of the American occupation have
been countermanded by cable. Even
European merchandise. on through bills
Of lading via New York, has been or
dered reshipped 10 New York. and sold
at a sacrifice.
The same feeling extends to the Cuban
merchants themselves. who seem to have
lost faith in the ability OF their
own people to control affairs.
INDEPENDENCE DREADED.
The rebels demand independence, but
the better classes. the merchants, and
the landowners, dread such q possibility.
and ~ferventiy hope that the United States
will retain the reins of government In the
island, as the only guarantee OF stability
and prosperity.
Senior Julian Cendoja, agent OF the
Ward Line of steamers. says that a n
dred Spanish merchants a applied for
cabin and baggage room on the return
trip of the steamer Philadelphia, which
is expected to-day. and they will leave
the city unless there is some assurance
from the American Government that 1t
intends 10 control the administration Of
public affairs in Cuba.
This is the question uppermost in every
body's mind. ST iniards. foreigners, and
natives are alike anxious for a definite
expression from Washington of the policy
OF the United States with regard
10 Cuba, and until that expression Is
made no resumption OF trade or COM
merce can be expected in Santiago.
where to-day. both are in a demoralized
and chaotic state.

generously with her opponent"
The Spectator takes a line quito un-
usual in the English press, most strongly
urging III United States to assume direct
control Of both Cuba n the Philippines.
FREEDOM FOR PHILIPPINES.
II implores the Washington Govern
ment rather to break an injudicious
pledge to Congress than to allow Cuba
and the Philippines to be independent or

minion."
Since It is equally ipadmissible," says
the Spectator, Ito grant independence or
to transfer the Philippines to any other
Power, 1t is best that the United States
should assume the heavy responsibility
involved, which will serve to bring out
the best qualities OF the American nation.
England does not desire the Philippines.
and IL she did, she would not take them,
because she wishes to prove thai her
sympathy for the United States Is quite
disinterested."

crisis. Europe may have been hasty In

course Of an interview at Madrid yester-
day:
ARMISTTCE NAN ASKED.
Spain has not asked an armistice, nor

while recognizing the superiority Of the
Yankee forces and their military opera
tons. Is confined to terms so dignihed
that when the document is published no
one will be able to say it is humiliating.
1t asks whether the United States is dis
posed to make peace. but requests neither
truce nor armistice."
SURRENDER OF MANILA.
The correspondent says Senior Gamazo
added:
IF Manila surrendered, tho capitula-
ton will only apply to the walled town"
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS TO BE SLOW.
1t Is feared, the correspondent reports,
that the peace negotiations will net be
very smooth or expeditions. Already
there are signs Of agitation against the
inevitable concessions. and the corre-
spondent OF the Times considers IL very
doubtful whether all the ministers have
the moral courage to accept the RESPONSE
bility, and to face boldly a certain amount
OF unpopularity."
