TIE environs OF Santiago, however,
present peculiar difficulties for the land
ing of an invading force. To attempt the
harbor entrance, even with the forts dc
molished by yesterdays attack, would
be foolhardy, the narrow inlet still being
full of mines. Outside the entrance, on
either side, the cliffs rise almost precipi-
tously, making it next to impossible to
make an ascent Nor can vessels of
more than thirteen feet draught approach
anywhere near the shore. Less than
eight miles to the east, however, is a
sheltered inlet, to which the mountains
on either side gradually slope, and where
the depth of five fathons is maintained
up to few hundred yards distance from
the sandy beach. Into this bay flows d
good-sizel stream, which, being followed
to its source, would lead directly to the
rear of the city of Santiago. This is I'M
doubtedly the point where the United
States troops will be disembarked for the
attack. A junction will doubtless be

WHILE there is probably little or no
foundation for the complaint that the
volunteer troops at the mohiizirg >ml's
are sui piled with food which is insuf-
cient in quantity and poor in quality, the
mater is nevertheless one which de-
serves the immediate attention OF the
military authorities. The country can
afford to feed its soldiers well and it
means to do so, but it is possible that in
the hurry Of assembling vast army the
commissary department has not yet
developed its proper degree OF useful
ness. When tine organization is per-
fected it will be found that the present
American Army is the best fed and the
best equipped that ever marched against

Commerce and Finance.

Trade in -four was very tame and re-
liable quotations were difficult to obtain,
in view OF the unsettled condition of the
wheat market. Demand was limited
and confined to small lots to satisfy
actual wants. Spot Bran was quiet but
firm under small supplies. Desirable
Hay was in fair request on Il basis of
quotations and receipts continued small
Straw was in moderate but ample supply
and prices were unchanged. Refined
Sugars were firm, but trade was quiet.
Provisions sold fairly in a jobbing way
on basis Of quotations. Wheat was
nominally quoted the same as yesterday,
Sl.lO for cash and June No. 9 Red, but
there was no trading and offerings were
exceedingly light. Other home markets,
however, were strong and higher.
Cables showed an advance, but lack of
supplies checked business. Corn options
were dull but steady up to the close of
the call. Cables were shade lower and
exporters did nothing. Local car lots
were quiet and without important
change. Oats in car lots were steady
with offerings ample for the very moder-
ate demand. Cotton was quiet but
steady.
