The Situation.
RICHMOND, VA, July 10, 1898.

With the fall Of Santiago the
question of war is eliminated from
the market so far as Spain is cons
cerned.
1t daily becomes less probable
that the European Powers will
actually interfere in any way in
the final settlement. That they
will tender their good Offices and
make diplomatic representations
is to be expected.
General conditions throughout
the country are excellent,
Cheap money is assured for
some time.
Never before have we occupied
in the eyes of the world so envia-
bic a position.
Experience and good informa>
ton have never been so valuable.
Ours is at your disposal.
