Spanish troops at Manzanillo, who ar
rived on the Ward liner PHILADELPHIA.
SPOKE to the newspaper men through
an interpreter.
Asked to express his views of the war
in general, the general replied, with a
gesture of derision:
why, there has been no war. There
are 100000 soldiers in Cuba who have
not seen an American soldier. My opin-
ion is" General Pando continued, that
the Spanish and American soldiers
were simply inveigled into war by the
politicians of the two countries. The
politicians made fools of the soldiers,
and sold them"
Asked K he believed that General
Toral should be courtmartialed, General
paE6o said:
Il believe that in the regular course
of events, considering what has hap
pened, he will be-
Asked to explain the story which has
been printed to the effect that he had
secretly fed from Cuba with 100000
francs. General Pando replied:
When I get back to my country 1
will get what is of more value TO me
than the amount of money you men
tened, the respect of my fellow coun-
trymen."
In response to the question of his
destination, General Pando replied
that he was on his way to Madrid. He
wished to get there, he said, as quickly
as possible, in order 10 attend the
meeting of the cortes. He would not
go to Paris. he thought.
Asked if ne thought the Cubans could
govern themselves, General PandO re-
piled that he thought they could.

 ippines is encouraging to the admins
 tration as showing that the rebel sol
 diers have taken heart and are fighting
 with success. So far, it is said. they
 have committed no excesses for which
 this government will be responsible.
 and it is hoped Dewey will be able to
 prevent anything of this kind. The large number of troops soon to be in
 Manila will be used to keep peace after the capture of the city.
 The president has not yet attempted to discuss any policy for the Philip pines. A draft of the military tariff
 for the islands has been submitted to him, and so soon as it is completed by changes which the president suggests it will be forwarded to General Mer- |ritt.
 The arrival of the Charleston will |replenish the ammunition of the American admiral. With the regular troops going on the next expedition the American force will probably be large enough to take Manila without delay.
 So far no tangible hints, of the de- sire of Spain for peace have reached
 the administration, but that does not discourage the opinion that peace terms will be asked for after the fall of Santiago and Porto Rico.

AN EvENTFJL WEEK
Plans Unchanged So Far as Admins
 tratiOn Is Concerned.

Washington, June 12.-The admins ration undoubtedly regards the pres ent week as likely Co be the mostevent- full in the history of the war. The highest officials admit this. but they express no fear of the results. They know the importance of the campaign now at hand and think they have pre- pared against unpleasant surprises or disasters.
 No time is to be lost in the invasion of Porto Rico. There will be little diff ference in the time between the invas- ion of Santiago and Porto Rico. It is the intention to have the movements as near simultaneous as possible. IT was long ago pointed out as the policy of the administration to seize Porto Rico before Spain sues for peace. There has been no change in this determina- tion. The policy would have been carried out before now if full equip ment had been ready.
 It was confidently expected that the necessary troops would have been equipped five days ago but, there have been unlocked for delays. The presi- dent hopes that there will be few more of these, and is joining General Alger in urging speed. Much has been done in few days, and everything is now

The principle has been re- garded by congress and the executive in the case of Admiral Dewey and his brave associates on the Asiatic station and will undoubtedly be followed in the case of Naval Constructor Hobson and the seven courageous enlisted men and highly successful expedition in the harbor of Santiago.
 The friends of captain Sigsbee are somewhat chagrined over the discov- cry that without any intention of
