SURRENDER TERMS
 AGAIN VIOLATED.
spaniards Sink the Gunboat sandoval at Guantanamo Before They
 Surrendered There.

Guantanamo, July 27-@The Prairie arrived from Nipe reports all quiet The Spaniards Monday night sunk the Span ish gunboat Sandoval This is looked upon as being q gross breach of the terms of surrender, which the spaniards had knowledge of.
 First sergeant of the marines, Kinnie of the New York, went north Monday to get his commission as second lieuten- ant of marines.
 It is difficult to see how the large body of Spanish troops at Holguin can fail to surrender very. soon, although reinfor- ced by Spanish forces from Gibara. Hol- guin is one of the commanding points in eastern Cuba, and the surrender of the garrision will be all important event of the war. News from there is expect ed shortly and upon it depend some of the plans of some Of our commanders.

ONLY sEN7s OUT AS
 A TELLER BY SPAIN.
That Country Wants to Catch the Pub. lie Sentiment of America and to
 Quiet the Spanish.

Washington, July 27.-The reported statement from the Vatican What pur- ports to be terms of peace acceptable to both the United States and Spain is set down here as only one of the many feel. CTS that have been thrown out within the past two weeks to test the public feeling of the United States primarily, and seeondarily to break slowly to the masses of Spanish people the realiza- ton of their complete defeat; something of which they are not aware, because of the superhuman efforts put forth by the Spanish government to suppress news of the actual events
 It is suspected here that the conditions named, the annexation to the United States of Cuba and Porto Rico and re. linquishment to Spain of the Philippines represent what may be now looked upon as maximum concessions Spain is will ing to make. From this point of view the statement is not discouraging, though of course, 1t must be realized that Spanish maximum is very far be- low American minimum. Still there must be some starting point for negOfh atiens that will in the end lead topeace, and therefore the publication of these various "feelers," is not deprecated by our government, though so far, it can be positively asserted they have TO basis of fact, at least on this side of the At- Ianfio

EFFECT OF SHELLS
 AT SANTIAGO.
They Did More Damage Than Was at First Thought-Power of the
 Eight-Inch Shells.

Guantanamo, July 27.-The Nipe bay engagement was quite hot, but no casu- alties on the American side. The Span ish gunboat Jorge Juan was riddled by our shells. It is believed 900 men de- serted from her after the opening of the Kingston's valves.
 The investigation of the navy's shells at the bombardment of Santiago reveals some curious facts. Twelve houses were completely wrecked Sixteen S-ineh shells struck within three blocks of the Colle de Mariana. These excayated the ground to depth of four feet and to a length of 10 feet The street was Mac adamized. It is judged from the fact that many of them struck near the waters edge that number of shells must have gone into the bay. Officers stated that 30 or 40 went beyond the northern edge of the bay into the Span- ish lines \ dozen or more shells had not exploded In one case a finch shell. fired during the the demonstra- ton at Aguadores, had gone through & tree and exploded ill the ground beyond. When the severe effect of S-inch shells was known it was considered not neces- sary to continue the bombardment longer with ,3.inch shells. The effect of these latter would undoubtedly have been of a most disastrous nature to the

foot in the cotton growing districts of the United States, the members of this exchange desire through me to express their hearty approval ol such q scheme, and their hope that it may speedily become matured and carried out to the satisfaction ot all parties interested in the article.
 It is regarded here as very happy solution of the question that the movement proposes, first and foremost, a measurement of 54x24 inches should be adopted, these being considered very handy and practicable dimensions.
 As regards the pressing, this ex- chang entirely approves of a density of about 40 pounds to the cubic foot, feeling convinced that this pressure will tend to keep the bales more in tact during transport and handling on railways and dock quays, and thereby minimize losses in weight and many other importers eriev- ances.
 It is matter of common knowl- edge that the present pressing, owing to the "spongy nature of the bales, gives rise to q great deal Of tearing of wrappers, and eonse. qpent loss of loose cotton, which under grea Ter density, would in all probability be avoided
