July THE arrival of General Miles
and reinforcements is anxiously await
ed. The ksses have been so heavy
and the slow advance against odds is
SO disheartening that all seem willing
to settle down to a siege and abandon
the attempt to take fortified city with
out cavalry or adequate artillery. There
is every indication that General Shat
ter intends to try to force the enemy
to come out and attack. All the prepa-
rations during the armistice have been
toward strengthening and fortifying
the American position. Trenches have
been deepened and improved, masked
batteries set and sand bags taken to
the front. The army maintains the
same position and formation as when
the battle ceased.
Armistice Not Recognized.
The armistice is not officially recog-
nized and the American soldiers have
been cautioned to keep out Of sight, as
stray shot at any time may precipi-
tate a general firing along the line.
In spite of the reports brought by the
consuls Of the determination of the
Spaniards to continue the contest there
is strong hope here that General Lin
ares will capitulate. No other con-
struction can be placed upon his dispo-
sition to negotiate. Rain poured down
In torrents for hours today, but a trav-

Weather Hard on the Wounded.

Despite all the care bestowed upon

neutrals and how admirably and cour-
teously IL had been conducted by both
Americans and Spaniards, setting an
example Of humanity" expresses the
hope that the same spirit will be OBJ
served when peace is arranged, and
says: There could be no more honor
able ending to war which both sides
have waged in ways creditable to them
than a settlement which should dis
prove the charge that the modern con-
queror drives harder bargain with his
foe than was common in times when
war was less humane"
Paris, July THE papers hostile to
America are criticising M. Maruejoula,
minister Of commerce, for his friendly
speech at the American banquet on
July 4. Before the chamber of deputies
rises M. Declagny will ask M. Delcasse,
minister of foreign affairs, to explain
French policy towards Spain and Amer

peace may include the cesson of Ceuta,
In Morocco, which the United States
might sell to Great Britain, with the re-
suit that the latter would thus hold
both keys to the Mediterranean which
France could not tolerate"
Berlin, July 7.-Commenting on the
profound impression produced by the
American successes and Ambassador
Whites speech on the German mind,
the Frankfort Zeitung, which defends
the United States against German
newspaper attacks, predicts that a
friendlier feeling will now prevail. THE
Berlin Post, the correspondent, says,
seems rather embarrassed by Ambas-
sador Whites speech but is disposed to
admit that the speech twill materially
help to dispel the unfriendly feeling
which threatened to arise between the
Americans and Germans

and vote was had.
