yUISITIONS,


figures and
yumption in the
E1ch is of special in
since in all of the
Alands we have acquired
Glantic and Pacific coffee is a
D1mportant product. The annex
Zion of these possessions, therefore,
4 ought to have at least one good eff
feet in still further cheapening this
staple article of American diet.
The figures of the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics show that coffee last year
was the greatest item of our imports,
and the years importations the great
est in our history. Puerto Rico and
Hawaii have for years grown fine
grade of coffee, Cuba formerly pro-
duced it in large quantities and the
Philippine islands have for years had
reputation of producing a grade of
coffee equalling that of Java and even
comparing favorably with Arabias
world-famed Mocha. The United
States have been for years the largest
coffee-using country in the world, our
purchases since 1890 having averaged
ninety millions of dollars per annur
in value, but it was reserved for the
fiscal year 1898 to show the l&fgest
imports Of coffee in our history, bring
ing the average per capita consumption
up to the highest point ever known,
the importations being $40, 514, 215
pounds, nearly 20 per cent greater
than in 1897, practically double that
of 1880, and more than three times
that of 1874. Deducting expectations
the consumption for the fiscal year
1888 would stand at eleven and five
Akenths pounds per capita, against
and two-tegths in 1898, and two
Dtsrrhs in 1868.
The large importation for 1898 was
probably due in some degree to its
phenemeaally low price The quota
lions to the Bureau of Statistics re-
Aport the wholesale price of Rio No. Z,
a standard grade, from five and one
half to seven and one-half cents in
New York in that fiscal year, against
eighteen and one-half cents in 1898.
The total value of the coffee i'm
ported in the fiscal year 1898 was, de-
spite the low prices, $65057 ,561, or
eight times that of half a century ago.
The latest estimates put the cot
fee production of the world at 1,600,-
100000 pounds Ter annum, while the
imports into the United States last
year were more than half that amount

HOW ENGLAND REGARDS 1T.
Both Sides Have Shown Courage of a
Very High Order

London, July 3.-The Times this morn
ing, discussing the fighting at El Caney
says:
Both sides have shown courage of a
very high order, and it is hard to say
whether the splendid dash and bravery
of the Americans advance in the teeth
of a CALLING fire or the stubborn ten
acity of the Spanish defense is the more
admirable.
Both sides have learned to appreciate
the splendid military qualities of their
adversaries.
1T is Il pity that enemies who show
themselves such worthy foemen in the
field cannont see their way to save
bl0odshed by coming Immediately to ain
arrangement on the inevitable basis. The
Spaniards have amply vindicated their
honor, and, if they were wise they would
now prove their common sense by offer
ing terms to their opponents, terms
which if they were reasonable, would
almost certainly be discussed in n gener-
Gus spirit"
London, July 4.-The editorials in the
Daily Graphic and Times fairly repre-
sent the opinions of the London newspa-
pers. There is no word of blame but
rather unstinted admiration for Gen.
Shafter's bravery, yet all remark that
America finds Santiago q tougher task
than she anticipated. Spain, it is sug-
gested, might now sue for peace on hon
orabe terms but it is not thought she
is likely to do so.
The Standard says:
"On the whole, while we cannot ex-
press too highly our family pride in the
gallant bearing of the American troops.
it appears to us that the prospect before
the United States is one sufficiently
ominOus to make this moment when n
wise approach on the part of Spain to-
ward peace on reasonable terms, ought
to be received with much alacrity by
President Mckinley. Why wait till
suffering has hardened the hearts of the
Americans and strengthened the nations
resolve"
The Daily Graphic. in its editorial OBJ
serves: '"rhe signal gallantry and devo-
ton displayed boy both Spaniards and
Americans must be recognized. The
behavior of the Americans sends thrill
of pride throughout the Anglo-Saxon
world. The story of the splendid man
ner in which the Rough Riders carried
San Juan is instinct with the indomita-
BILE spirit of Balakava."
The Daily Graphic says, however,
''The blunder lies deeper than any mere
temporary mscalculation," adding that
''the Americans east their net too wide
ly. as il might have been better to have
left Santiago and Manila alone and to
have concentrated their efforts upon Ha-
yana."

ADMIRAL SAMPSON SATISFIED
The Black Pail of Battle Overhanging
Santiago.

The Black Pail of Battle Overhanging
Santiago.
Copyright 1898 by Associated Press.)
On board the Associated Press dis
patch boat Cynthia, off Santiago, July
=. via Port Antonio, July ,, p. m., and
Kingston, July 3.-3:45 a. ma half
hour after the bOmbardment ceased this
morning. Rear Admiral Sampson said to
Il correspondent of the Associated Press
that he was well satisfied with the re-
suits and deemed the attack the most
destructive yet made by the American
navy on Santiago. He also believed, he
said, that the moral effect would be
sure to be good and would tend to dis
hearten the Spanish troops and encour-
age our own.
While the Admiral was talking with
the correspondent an orderly reported to
Captain Chadwick, who was present III
the Admirars cabin, that the Spaniards
had raised Il very small flag on the wes-
tern tower of Moro Castle to replace
the co0rs sent to earth by the Oregon's
thirteen inch guns.
Captain Chadwick laughed, saying:
"Oh, well. we will just have to knock
that down too, when we get ready.
As soon as the bombardment closed
Admiral Sampson sent an officer on
shore to communicate with the land
forces and expressed eagerness to learn
what was being done ON shore. Neither
he nor Captain Chadwick said 50 IN
plain terms. but it was evident that both
believed that Santiago would be ours
by sunset to-day. Before the Cynthia
Of 10,
Eel Moro. at the entrance to Santiago
harbor, huge columns of gun-powder
smoke could be seen slowly climbing
skyward against the background of the
mountain at whose base Santiago lies.
BY eleven o'clock this morning the smoke
covered the entire valley in which the
city is and had grown into the semblance
of huge. silver grey pail, edged with
black. and overhanging the greatest
struggle of the present war.
Up to the hour mentioned the fleet was
still visible and now signs of renewed
bombardment are to be seen.
From the fleet nothing whatever could
have been seen of the fight in and
around Santiago. which is not more Wis
ible from the sea than is Philadelphia
from the Atlantic, and it is doubtful
even whether the sound of cannonading
could make its way to the shore line,
since the breeze was not from the land.
10 the correspondent Admiral Samp-
son reiterated his feeling of surety that
Hobson and his comrades of the Merri-
mic are safe in the town of Santiago.
Both Admiral Sampson and Captain
Chadwick looked well, though tired.
while both evidently enjoyed a modest
bottle of appollinaris after the roar of
the eight inch guns was over for the
time.

GEN. LINARES WOUNDED.

Cost

Madrid, July 80 a. m.-Captam
General Blanco reports to the govern
ment under date of July 1st, as follows:
'At noon today the enemy vigorously
attacked Santiago and succeeded in tax
ing the advance ositions of Lomas ana
San Juan after vehement resistance
lasting three hours on our part. We
were able to save our artillery, though
half the troops were placed hors de com
bat General Linares was seriously
wounded in the left leg and relinqulshed
his command to General Toral. The
enemy in considerable force attacked
the village of El Caney this morning,
but were repulsed by General Vdra. The
fight was resumed this evening
and ended in El Caney itself,
being taken after vigorous
resistance on our part. Our losses were
heavy. / have no news from the Esca

spite all efforts to do so"

Now Expected.

That is enough for me. 1t is great news
for the Fourth of July"
The fleet of Admiral Cervera was one
of the finest Spain possessed. Three of
the vessels, the Almirante OquendO, the
Nizcaya and the CristObal Colon were
modern armOTed cruisers of the irSt
class. The NiZcaya was of the 100 tons
displacement, $40 feet long, and heavily
armOred, her belt armOr being - inches
in thickness and her deck armOr three
inches. Her main armament consisted
of two 11-inch, 10 SO inch HOntoria
guns. She carried six torpedo tubes. was
capable of Il speed rate of twenty knots
and her complement was 800 men.
The Almirante OqucndO was in almost
every respect a duplicate of the Vizcaya.
The Cristobal Colon had displace-
ment of 6,S40 tons and was GrS feet
long. She had siX-inch armor, both at
the water line and at the gen position
and 1.5 inch armOr on her deck. Her
main armament consisted of two 10 incr
and ten 6-inch rapid fire guns. six Al
inch and four torpedo tubes. She was
capable of a speed of twenty knots aud
carried a complement of 450 men. Of
the remaining vessels OF the fleet, the
Furor and Terror were torpedo boat de-
stroyers and the Reina Mer 20 les was all
old vessel that was sunk short time
ago by shell from Sampson's feet. The
Terror was not with the fleet at Santi-
ago. but is supposed to be at San Juan
Porto Rico, undergoing repairs made
necessary by an encounter with the 81.
Paul a few days ago.
In addition tO the above mentioned yes

1t is reported on what is
deemed to be reliable author
ity that Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet today engaged the fleet of
Admiral Cervera and entirely
DESTROYED it.

The information contained in the
above statement was received early
in the evening, but it was not announced
officially until several hours later. AS
Il result of its receipt, however, con-
ference of prominent officials was held
at the White House Immediately. Those
present at the conference besides the
President were Nice-President Hobart
Secretary Day, Secretary Long, Secreta-
nv Alger, Postmaster General Smith,
General Miles. Adjutant General Cor
bin. General Guy V. Henry, and Senator
Hanna. The information was discussed
in all its phases. The news sent by
both Gen. Shafter and Lieutenant Col
onel Allen, was received with intense
satisfaction. 1t was taken to indicate
not only that Admiral Sampson had ac-
cOmpliShed magniticently the task to
which he had been set, but 1t also clearly
proved that Gen. Shafter was in much
stronger position than the War officials
had been led to believe he held. One
of the officials who attended the confer
ence said, after the news had been ofti-
cially announced, that it very materially
modified the seriousness of the situation.
The destruction of the fleet, which was
not confirmed until a few minutes be-
fore the news was given to the pubic
removes by far the most serious obstacle
to the occupation of Santiago by the
American land forces.
During the almost continuous conflict
of Friday and Saturday reports SHOW
that thC spanish fleet did awfui CXccu-
tion by shclling the American q oops. 1t
IS regarded as unlikely tEat with the
fleet lying in the hay, General Shaltcl S
forces would have been able safely to
occupy Santiago. After the reduction
and capture of the outer defenses of the
city by General Shafter, it became neces-
sary that Admiral Cervera's fleet be
eliminated from the equation. Its elimi-
nation was executed by Admiral Samp-
son, thus leaving the way open for the
continued advance of Shaftcr's troops
upon the city.
Details of the destruction of Ceryera' S
feet have not been received at this writ
ing by either the War or Navy Depart
ments. Whether SIMPSONS ships enter
ed the harbor and there attacked and
annihlated the Spanish squadron, or
whether Cervera made a desperate dash
past the sunken Merrimac to the ocean
beyond, in the hope that he might be
able to save at least part of his fleet,
has not been officially ascertained
Adjutant General Corbin voiced the
feelings of every one of the officials
when he said: Il don't care how the
fleet was destroyed. 1t was destroyed

Washington. July 4.-GlOriOus news
from Cuba affords the American people
Just reason for an enthusiastic celebra
ton of this the nations natal day. Adj
miral Sampson has accomplished the
work he was directed to perform when
he left Key West for the southern coast
of Cuba. He was ordered to find and
destroy Cervera's fleet. Several weeks
ago Commodore Schley located the fleet
i'm the Bay of Santiago. Yesterday, af-
ter being bottled helpless in the harbor
for weeks, the fleet was destroyed.
Nothing now remains of the Spanish
squadron but shattered and burning
hulks.
In addition to the splendid work ac-
complished by Admiral Sampson, Gen
eral Shafter in command of the land
forces, before Santiago, had so far pro-
gressed in the carrying out of his plans
for the reduction of the city that at
1890 yesterday morning he demanded
the immediate surrender of the Spanish
forces. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon,
Gen Shafter's demand had not been
complied with so far rs the war officials
here were able to ascertain. That the
demand will be complied with, however,
Gen. Shafter fully believes, and that the
stars and stripes will on this Fourth of
July be raised over the former capital
of Cuba is reguarded as practically GER
tain. Shortly after / O'Clock this morn
