Supplied with Latest Charts.

Washington, July 13.--The naval off,
GERS regard their part in the operations
at Santiago as at an end practically,
and are lookin garound for new worlds
to conquer. Their eyes are turned to
the East, and they are rushing prepa-
rations for the dispatch of Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron. This is de-
cidedly a more attractive cruise from
a naval point of view than the dem
onstration proposed against San Juan
de Porto Rico, which is understood to
be the next number on the programme,
but which the naval authorities believe
will not amount to much, because OF
the easy reduction of the defences.
Every ship in Watson's squadron has
been supplied with the very latest
charts, not only of the coasts of Spain
and the Mediterranean, but of track
courses that will take them clear to the
Philippines. In addition to this the
few officers assigned to the vessels OF
this squadron, but not yet aboard,
have received orders from the depart
ment to go to their ships at once. No.
tice of the departure of some of the
vessels, therefore, may be looked for at
any moment.

Danger NO LONGER.
WAR oEE|AsTNgnr ORDERS ALL
HAR8oa MINES EXPLODED.

The Subnafine Mines Placed at the Re-
ginning fi the Wa" No Longer Needed
Since thS De,truc ion of the Spanish
Fleet No Invasion Seems Likely.
WashiIt tgton, d. c., July 13.-The sec
retary |of war has ordered the
REMOVAL of all the submarine mines
which niow protect the harbors of the
Unitedt States against the entry of hos
tile ships.
Thi$ action was decided upon at yes
terdafy's cabinet meeting. For weeks
past lin fact almost since the beginning
of Hostiities. the war department has
been deluged with protests from ths
co4nmercial interests Of the country
against the continuance Of these mines
which operated to the detriment of
commerce.
! In certain cases Influences were
brought to bear that secured an abate-
Ir7"1t of the rules, but this only in
y sd the dissatisfaction in localities
~ here they were so rigidly applied.
ra2tically 1t has been impossible for
stir, ing to enter or leave any OF the
R8rhors of the United States during
of sunset and sunrise.
To Explode the Mines.
The decision of the cabinet to remove
these mines now is one Of most signal
manifestations of the supreme conf
dence of the government in the future
and of the exemption of the United
States ports from attack at the hands
of any hostile power. After thoroughly
considering the subject it has been de-
cided by the engineers that the safest
and quickest means of removing the
mines is by exploding them and orders
to do this have been prepared for trans
mission to all of the United States en-
glneer officers in charge of harbor de-
fences throughout the country.
Since the destruction OF Admiral Ger
vera's fleet and the removal from
these waters of the last remnant of the
Spanish navy the war department has
been flooded with requests from all the
Atlantic coast cities that the mines
and torpedoes in the llarbors and riv-
ers be taken out.
Secretary Alger then said that he had
discussed with General Wilson, chief Of
engineers the advisability OF clearing
the harbors of these mines and that
he would definitely settle the matter.
Next the reported appearance of a
Spanish privateer off the Northwest
coast afforded an opportunity 20 the
engineer officers to justify themselves
for insisting upon the maintenance of
the mines. which now guard all navi-
gable harbors.
While 1t was recalled that these
mines were serious interference with
trade and public convenience, it was
said to be still absolutely necessary
to maintain them until there was no
longer the faintest apprehension enter
tained of complications with European
powers that by any possibility might
end in hostilities.

sn~a>tn's Resignation is Confirmed.

Washington, D. c., July 13.--Confir-
nation of the fall of the Sagasta min
istry has reached Washington.
The advices announce positively that
General Campos will be the new prime
minister, and in some circles this is re-
garded as an indication of coming
peace. Among state department off,
c!als the opinion prevails that the uues-
ton Of continued war depends to a con-
siderable extent upon the result of the
operations against Santiago de Cuba.
The capture of. Linares' army will so
influence the new ministry it is thought
that peace will be the outcome.

sPAIN's TERMS OF PEACE.
What She Is willing to Give Up to Stop
the War.


Madrid, July 13.--The possibility of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers and
by the public. The Conservative pa
pers declare Spain is prepared to ac-
cept peace provided 1t implies only the
loss of Cuba But, they add, Spain
would prefer war a routrance IL the
United States claims Porto Rico, the
Philippine islands or an immense in
demnity which would be impossible for
Spain to pay.
The Correspondence asserts that
General Correa, the minister for war,
does not disagree with the other cabi-
net ministers so seriously as generally
supposed, and in view of the gravity
of the Cuban situation, it is possible
he viii no longer oppose peace, pro-
vided the conditions are not too oner-
Gus.
The public connects tne recent con-
ference between Duke Almodovar del
Rio, the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, and the French ambassador
here, NJ. Patenotre, with the report thar
the French ambassador at Washing
ton, N. Cambon, has been instructed
to ascertain the lightest conditions up
on which peace is obtainable.
Other Spanish newspapers continue
the violent anti-peace campaign. The
Ejercito Espanol, a Service paper,
says:
IF we make peace now We deserve to
be spat in the face. If Santiago falls
there still remain 100000 Spaniards in
Cuba who are determined to defend
that territory"
The Correspondence Militar, another
Service paper, declares the government
must act in conformity WITH the wishes
of the army in Cuba, which, it adds,
desires to continue the war.

WAR DEMAND FOR HORSES.
The Market Improved Thersby-What T.
Wanted in n War Horse.

The Market Improved Thersby-What T.
Wanted in n war-Horse.
Washington, July 9.-It is said that
the present war has greatly increased
the demand for horses, and that, fol
the first time since the introduction Of
the trolley. the market Is looking up.
Not only did the electric railway take
away the occupation of the horse on
the street car, but the wide extension
of the new system has materially les
sened the demand for horses for driv-
ing purposes. The bicycle has also had
its share in taking business away from
horses, and for the last few years a
very much smaller number have been
raised.
Prices have been so low that farm
ers have given up raising them until
tht present stock in the market should
be worked off.
1t now happens that the United States
government wants 10000 horses right
away, and is willing to pay good prices
for them. No white horses will be
drafted for service in a war, of the
meaning of which the poor animal can
know nothing. Only dark colored hors-
es are accepted in the army, dark sor-
rels, bays, browns, blacks and dark
roans, and they should be intelligent
and gentle in disposition, from five to
eight years of age, and weighing from
1000 to 1900 pounds.

INJURIES TO BATTLESHIPS.
Naval officials Believe Iowa and Indiana
Are Not Seriously Damaged.

Washington, D. c., July 13--The ma
Wy department has received no word
as to the injuries to the forward tur-
rets of the battleships Iowa and Indi-
ana, as referred to in press dispatches.
From this fact the officials conclude
that the injuries are not at all serious,
as any material disarrangement of the
turrets would be quickly reported.
For some time there has been diff
Guilty in securing an acute elevation of
big guns in the turrets of the Iowa The
lack of elevation is of no disadvantage
in the general utility of the guns which
are fired with little or no elevation.

A Bit Of History.

1t was Diego Velasqueg who found.
ed Santiago de Cuba in 1915, thus
making the oldest town on the island.
For dong time Santiago was the
capital and the headquarters of the
various murderous expeditions of the
Spanish against the mainland. Cortez
made it his rendezvous during his
conquest of Mexico. De Soto start
ed from Santiago IN 15aS on his first
expedition of exploration. By the
middle of the century the place had
grown to be rich and important.
There was all kinds of wealth there,
the accumulation, doubtless, of the
| plunder taken from the defenceless
Aztecs and che countless other vic
Tins of Spanish lust and avarice. In
1858, 4co French landed in the har-
Dor and didn't have much trouble in
capturing the city, not half so much
trouble as Sampson and Schley are
having now. This handful of French
held the town till a ransom of some
$4,000 was paid. After this there
were frequent attacks by the numer-
Gus bands of buccaneers and pirates
that infested the seas at that time.
But the real attack, and the one that
has chief interest for Americans of
to-day, was in 1862, just 100 years
before Havana was captured by the
Americans and English, when Lord
Winsor, with IS vessels and less than
1000 men, English and Americans,
succeeded without much opposition
in effecting landing at Aquadores,
the very same town where Sampson
was said to have landed men to effect
junction with the insurgents of to-
day. These 1000 men walked all
the way from the sea to the city, and
after little brush with the inefficient
force of Spanish sent to oppose them,
wiped off the face of the earth and
took possession of the town. 1t is
not exactly known why Lord Winsor
attacked Santiago rather than
Havana, unless it was that he thought
it easier and richer. The English
were disappointed sorely to find that
the inhabitants, in leaving for other
parts, had either hidden or taken all
valuables with them, so there wasn't
enough plunder to go around. The
invaders, however, conhscated all the
silver church bells and the guns from
the fort, and, as if just to show their
spite, blew up the Moro Castle and
destroyed the cathedral. The Moro
was rebuilt in 1868, and remains to
this day-or rather till the other day,
when Yankee guns once more batter
ed it. Phillip I. was King of Spain
at the time, and he was angry that
the English should be so rough with
his belongings. 1t always has been
part OF the Spanish nature to get an
cry about little things and rave in
helpless rage. In 1862 the English
took Havana, and Santiago for a
while was left out of consideration,
but not for long. In 1866 along
came an earthquake, wrecking half
the city and putting 100 people out
of the misery of being Spanish SUBJ
jects. Since that time the town has
lived pretty even existence up to
the present time.
