indications upon the part of the hermit

! General Anderson's army The plea
that an entire squadron was necessary to
protect few hundred subjects in the
city is no longer tenable. Dewey can
be depended upon to give safe escort to
all who desire to leave, and to drive out
the others.
General Garcia has permitted Pando
to slip into Santiago. Having but 1000
men with which to obstruct 5000, the pre-
sumption is justified that he regarded dis
erection as the better part of valor. Eight
thousand Spaniards running to cover

a thief all the time. The estimate may
have been just in Nelson's time, but does
rot accurately describe the Spaniard Of

cause he might whip his weight in wild
cats.
On second thought. we recall our advice
to Spain to make overtures for peace di-
rect to the United States. We believe 1t
will fare better if the appeal be made to
the sublime porte. We've read the full
text of General Grosvenor's late speech.
