The announcement is made that the plan
which provided for the invasion Of Porto
Rico has been side-tracked, and all the
available transports are TO be used TO car
~ endorsements to Gen. Shafter. Two
things may have contributed to bring
about this change in the programme Of the
government. one is that it has been discov-
cred that there is a much stronger mill
tary force at Santiago than it was suppos-
ed there was, and the other is the belief
that the capture of the Spanish army and
squadron al Santiago will have the effect
of causing Spain to ask for peace.
A couple of weeks ago 1t was the under
standing that there were not more than
$500 troops at Santiago. Now It Is said
there are from 5000 to $1,000, and that
there are 1900 more within a compare
lively short distance which, thus far, have
been prevented from joining those at San
tiago by the insurgents. If a junction be-
tween the two armies should be effected
before Gen. Shafter's army is ready to at
tack Santiago, it is apparent that he
would need more troops than he now has
under his command. The government is
wise therefore in preparing to send him re-
Inducements at once.
AS to whether Spain would be ready tc
sue for peace on the fail of Santiago, moth
ing can be said that has the support OF
authority. The Washington authorities
may have information, in respect to what
is transporting in Spain, which it does not
think advisable to make public. It would
seem, however, that if she lost the squad
ron of Admiral Cervera and at least a thirc
of all her soldiers in Cuba she would real
lie that nothing was TO be gained by con
tinuing the war in her crippled condition
We stated yesterday that Mr.. Hannis Tay'
lor, our minister to Spain under Mr.. Cleve
lands last administration, is of the opin
ion that the war will end with the fail Of
Santiago, and the President and his mill
tary advisers may hold the same opin
ion

More Than Her share.

1t looks to us as if Georgia were doing
more than her Share in providing voun-
teers for the army and navy. Under the
first call she promptly furnished the two
regiments of infantry for which she was
asked, and also a company of artillery.
Under the second call for volunteers she
will furnish another regiment of infantry.
But the foregoing are not all she will
furnish. very large part of Col. Rays
immune regiment is composed of Geor-
gians and there are several companies Of
negro militia which will be mustered into
the service very soon, in all probability.
In all, Georgia will, by the time that run
response is made to the second cali, have
furnished fully a regiment more than has
been required of her. And it is worthy Of
notice that no town in the state, in proper
ton to its size, has furnished so many
volunteers as Savannah. And we are sure
that the soldiers of no other town in any
part of the country win give a better ac-
count of themselves than those of this
city.
We haven't furnished any volunteers
for the navy yet, but we are going to.
When a call is made for our naval mi
litia which viii be very soon, there will
be prompt response. With the naval mi
lila Savannah viii furnish pretty nearly.
if not quite a thousand men to the army
and navy.

The Seventh Regiment of New York is
the comedy feature of this war Before
the war began there were apparently more
bloodthirsty soldiers in that regiment than
in any other In the country, and there was
a suspicion in the minds of some that the
Seventh would take a contract to drive the
Spaniards out OF Cuba without assistance.
When the call for $4,000 volunteers was
made the regiment presented a bold front,
and its colonel had difficulty in restraining
it from precipitating itself upon the enc
my. But it didn't enlist. The regiment
wanted to maintain its organization and
was afraid it wouldn't be permitted to do
so-its members thought they might be re-
quired TO sleep in tents with other fellows.
But the regiment said it would get into
the service somehow. Il hasn't got in yet,
and there is therefore a suspicion that II
has been trying to find out how not to get
in.
When the call for 5000 troops came the
friends of the Seventh felt sure that its
opportunity had come, and that it would
soon be marching down Broadway on its
way 10 an SuCdAipllSht, anu tAldl idiI vi
the women of the city would be in tears
But there is to be no marching and nc
tears. Gov. Black. after a long talk with
the colonel of the Seventh on Monday, de-
cided that the people of New York city
would need the Seventh if Gen. Weyler
with an army or Admiral Camara with his
crippled fleet should suddenly appear In
~ " rrsl..
Seventh in this war is therefore settled
and perhaps satisfactorily, to it's members

Our Shining Interests,

The withdrawal of steamers engaged in
the coastwise trade between North At
lantic and Gulf ports and the reduction
in the number of steamers of the steam
ship lines between the North Atlantic and
South Atlantic ports will greatly reduce
cotton and other freights to Europe by
way of Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and cause a great increase
in the direct exports of the South Atlantic
ports. How long the steamers which have
been withdrawn from these lines will re-
main in the service of the government
cannot be stated with any degree of def
niteness. but the probability is that the
government will retain control of them as
long as the war with Spain lasts, because
troops will have 10 be sent and brought
back from Cuba and Porto Rico frequent
ly, and there will be a steady demand for
military supplies in both islands.
The change in the direction of freights
from South Atlantic and Gulf ports is al
ready noticeable. The prospect is that the
coming cotton season, in so far as Savan-
nah is concerned, will be the liveliest one
in her history. During the cotton season

well filled with steamers seeking cotton
freights, but unless all signs fail the num-
Der of ships which will visit this port dur
ing the coming season will be much
greater.
A very large part of the cotton crop
which has gone to comparative Gulf ports
| will. in all probability, come to Savannah
for shipments to Europe, because the Sa-
vannah route is the shortest and safest
The railroad lines from this city extend
| directly into the best cotton growing re-
| gions of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and
South Carolina, and through their con-
nections, into Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
| kansas and Texas.
Every railroad line coming into Savan-
nan is in a first-class physical condition
and is thoroughly equipped. The wharf
and warehouse facilities of this port are
unequalled, while the depth of water In
the harbor is such as to accommodate
vessels of the largest class.a
| The commerce of Savannah at this time
is larger than ever before at this season
of the year, and is indicative of what
may be expected a little later on when the
| cotton season opens.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania has in
troduced an amendment 10 the general de-
ficiency bill providing for the appointment
of a commission of three persons ito
study the commercial and Industrial con-
ditions of the Chinese empire and report
to the department of state its conclusions
as to the opportunities for and the obsta-
cles to the enlargement of the markets in
China for the raw products and manufac-
lures of the United States" If our con-
sular service were organized upon basis
Of merit, and the consular posts filed with
well informed and competent men, there
would be no need of special commissions
Of the sort suggested by Senator Penrose.
The consuls are supposed to be the com
mercial agents of the government, and
their. business is 10 study the opportunities
for and the obstacles to the enlargement
of the markets for American products in
the countries to which they are sent. If
this country is ever to build up big for
eign trade, its consular service must be
put upon a commensurate, business-like
basis, or else it will be necessary to APP
point special committee to visit each
country with which we hope to do bust
ness. England has such work done SIS
tematically and intelligently by her con-
suls.

The Expenses of imperialism.
From the Philadelphia Record DEM

Imperialism will be a bit expensive. The
extnguishment of the Spanish title in the
Philippines will cost in initial expenses
not less than $1000O00OO; Cuba and Puerto
Rico will easily add 500 1000 more in the
shape of immediate expenditure and the
outstanding lebt of Hawaii to be assumed
will be 100000. To this must be added
$780, 100000 for digging the Nicaraguan ca
nal in order to make our Pacific coast pos
sessions accessible and defensible. But
this preliminary cost will be as a flea bite
to the cost of maintenance. We shall get
our new inlands in a very rundown and
unpros porous condition. We shall have to
build a navy to correspond with our in
sular ACKNOWLEDGMENT. We shall have
added TO our holdings an enormity of UNI
fortified coastline. We shall have to build
forts and maintain standing armies 10 hold
insurrectionary populations in order. I'M

Gen. Blanco, the Spanish commander-in-
chief in cuba, Is said TO be suffering from a
wound in the hip, inflicted by a would-be
assassin several days ago. Some weeks
ago. according to a story which is sent
out from Washington, a young Cuban vol
unteer named Saliva was shot on a charge
OF conspiracy. Salva's brother, who was
also In the ranks OF the volunteers, waited
in front of the palace in Havana until
Gen. Blanco came out. and shot him, the
bullet taking effect in the hip. Gen. Blanco
was taken back into the palace, and the
would-be murderer was disarmed and i'm
prisoned in MORO castle, where he will
probably be shot The same story goes on
to say that the Cuban volunteers in Ha-
vana are upon the point of revolt against
the Spaniards.

DR.. Swallow holds out the prospect of a

presumptive evidence that the Pennsylva-

fire some time ago, was fired by emissa-
ries of the Republican bosses, for two
leading reasons; first, for the purpose of
destroying documents which might con-
Wet the bosses of thefts, and second, in

and formed a combination designed TO put
