The Fan Of Santiago.

The third great triumph of American
arms and the one which 10 long step
toward the final collapse Of Spain was
announced yesterday In the news Of the
surrender of Santiago. Throughout the
country the glorious news was flashed
within few minutes after 1t reached
the President. Nothing save the two
great victories Of the naval fleets at
Manila and Santiago has been 60 I'm
portant, and go fraught with future
practical results. While the details Of
the negotiations on the conditions of
surrender are necessarily brief, enough
IS known to warrant the assertion that
the outcome will be satisfactory to this
country.
The surrender means the possession
by the United States forces OF even more
than was the original purpose, and
brings to the American side advantages
which, had the Standards been stronger,
required weeks more Of fighting to Sc
cure. The country will congratulate it.
self that this has been accomplished
without the bloodshed which It was fear
ed would be necessary before the Span
igh commander at Santiago could be
brought to terms. and that Il has been
done without the sacrifice OF more of
our brave defenders.
The report of the negotiations con-
Quoted with General Toral on wednes-
day reveals the terrible strain which
has been upon him. The simple state
ment he made that II he agreed to sur
render the side arms of his troops under
spanish law he would be court-mar-
taled and shot was pathetic. to say
the least, and can but excite sympathy
for a brave commander who would be
made victim of so barbarlc law as
he recited.
The events at Santiago will have I'm
portnnt bearings on the immediate fu-
ture Of the conduct Of the war. In the
meantime, let the American people re-

New York Tribune: The London
Mail announces that It has Investigated,
'verihed the data" and finds itself
Compelled to acknowledge the correct
ness OF the statement" that American
ships, armor, and guns are superior to
those OF other nations. The statement
should not have occasloned great sur
prise, because In the entire department
of iron and steel manufacture and pro-
ducts the superiority OF American work
seems TO be established by commercial
results which are convincing. In COM
petition with all other nations the Uni
ted States is rapidly increasing exports
OF such products, not because supplies
are lacking abroad. but because AmerI-
can supplies are superior in quality to
those obtaInable elsewhere at the same
price. II Is for no other reason that In
the eleven months ending with May,
2l2,756 tons OF pig iron were exported,
156,105 tons OF rails, $4,000 tons OF wire,
and about $4,000 tons of nails. But It Is
in the higher branches Of manufacture
that American superiority appears most
clearly. Exports OF $2,0SS,0S2 worth OF
locomotives. $10,762,60S OF typewriters,
$2,46S,920 Of sewing machines, S3.7O3,173
of Woodworking machines. $l,702,s12 OF
electrical machines. tl,667,734 OF pump
ing machinery, S2,S24,ScI OF scientific
and electrical apparatus. IS, 35S,5S2 of cv-
