REASONS FOR VICTORY.
Manila and Santiago Prove Several Thiugs
rs About Our Navy

hOout ouT Nhty-
Washington. d. c.. July 1.-THE
disappearance at Santiago and Manila
of the last effective element of Spain's
naval force enables the world to draw
definite conclusions as to the lessons
learned from the brief, decisive con.
fiicts afioat. marked as they have been
by .he marvellous success of American
naval methods. The insignificance of
the injuries inflicted upon American
vessels and the infinitely small loss OF
life, though formidable land fortifica.
tions have been assaulted. contrasting
strongly with the sweeping Spanish
losses of material and men, have been
astounding.
Secretary Long gives four reasons
for this: First. the skill and mechan
ical genius of our people in building
the best ships: second, the personnel
Of our navy is high, very high, al
though the navy is paid less than the
army or tle marine corps, many of
its officers possessing high scientific
attainments and the men being effi-
cicnt; third. no money has been better
appropriated by Congress for the navy
than that for target practice. fourth.
the cooperation of suordinates about
the department. When the navy de-
partment saw that war was approach.
ing the bureau chiefs were called to-
gcther and told they would be held
personally responsible for the efficien.
cy of their various departments, They
were given every reasonable amount
OF supplies and told that the. navy
must be placed in thorough condition.
They made their estimates and their
requisitions upon the SJ0.0O0.000 fund
were promptly honored. Not enough
credit has been given these men who
made success possible by having the
navy prepared.

patch over to the White House. where
Ii was the subject of consideration
and the decision was reached not to ac-
cept the proposition General shafter
was notified that nothing short OF I'M
conditional surrender would be consld-
cred by this government
Linares then asked that the truce be
continued for twenty-four hours That
he might consider 1t and consult with
Madrid and Captain General Blanco.
General Shafter granted his request
1t Is understood that further negotia-
lions have been conducted by Generals
Shafter and Linares. and that the lat
est terms proposed are at the White
House.
The extension OF truce has been most
advantageous TO the American forces.
according to General Shafter's dis
