1t is good time for patriotic Ameri-
cans to keep their wits about them and
not to overrate the magnitude Of
events that are passing and will soon
be past. The clouds gather and de-
part, the vast armament remains. The
republic is here to stay, and the pres
ent generation is here to guard it and
transmit 1t unimpaired. The present
episode will have its own place in our
history. Perhaps it will help US to
measure more justly the forces of good
and evil that are active in the nation,
and 1t may thus serve as a search
light to reveal the defects of our In
telligence and our virtue.

Owing to recent changes in freight

ufacturers are now in a position to
compete on even terms with New York
merchants for Mexican and Central
American trade. The aIl-rail freight
rates from Chicago to Mexican points
are only IL cents higher than the rail
and water rates from New York CITY.
In view of possible troubles with Spain

Immediately upon the receipt of
Commodore Schley's dispatch tonight
Its contents were conveyed to the
President by Lieutenant Whittlesey
and then to Captain Crowninshield, n
member of the war board. General
Miles was Immediately sent for, and
he and Captain Crowninshield Were
closeted together for an hour or more,

A cable to the Herald from Mole st.
Nicholas, Hayti, says:
l can state positively that Commo-
dore Schley has part. IL not all. of the
Spanish fleet bottled up In Santiago
harbor.
This has been suspected for several
days, but it was not definitely known
until this morning. when Captain
Sigsbee of the st. Paul, who has been
cruising of the harbor for the past
week, steamed close enough to dis
tinctly see two cruisers of the Vizcaya
class and two torpedo boats lying just
inside the mouth of the harbor. 1t is
believed that the rest of Cervera's
squadron is also there.
The st. Paul has been watching
Santiago for eight days. Sigsbee
thinks that two Spanish torpedo boats
ventured out of the harbor Saturday
night to attack the ST. Paul, but, m
ticipating such move, he changed his
position every night in order that they
could not locate him.
To-day Commodore Schley took a
position with the entire squadron to
prevent the escape Of Cervera. He
hopes the Dons will come out and
fight. The opposing fleets are about Of
equal strength.
