10 do by his government.

SINCE THE harbor of Santiago has
been inspected, it is clearly shown why
the Spanish should have laughed al
the applause with which the sinking OF
a ship that cost nearly half a million
dollars, with valuable cargo, for the
purpose of blocking up that harbor,
was received in this country. 1t is now
plain that Admiral Sampson never
would have been in any more danger
of entering that harbor with his fleet
than Admiral Dewey was in entering
that of Manila. either from mines or
shore batteries, and also, that the sink
ing of the Merrimac was not only a
foolish but positively ridiculous waste
of money. However, the millions
raised by the sale of gold bonds, to
pay the interest on which the poor peo-
pie of the country are taxed, must be
spent, and buying ships with cargoes of
coal to sink in the sea, is as easy and
expeditions a way to do that as any
other.

WAR NOTES.

A dispatch from Madrid says that the
Spanish cabinet is considering the ques-
of court .martialing General Toral and
has asked Captain General Blanco for
full particulars of the surrender of San
tiago. The ground of the charges
against General Toral will be that he
exceeded his instructions by surrender
ing not only the city, but large sur
rounding territory. The American
troops have been moved back into new
camps in the hills north of Santiago
and General Shafter is waiting for the
coming OF the immune regiments which
are to garrison the city. The Spanish
troops are also encamped outside of the
city. 1t is stated that many of them
are ignorant that they have heen sur
rendered aud are under the impress

The Cruiser Cristobal Colon

LONDON, July 20.-A prominent
Genoese merchant vouches for the
statement that when Italy sold the
cruiser Cristobal Colon, then the Carl
baldi, to Spain, her big guns arrived
too late to be tested before being
mounted on board. They were accord
ingly put on board without being test
ed, but the Armstrong;, by whom the
guns were made, insisted upon their
being tested nevertheless The Span
ish commander of the ship protested.
declaring that there was no time for q
test. Finally compromise was made
whereby the guns were put ashore and
tested at Spezzia. The test was in
every way satisfactory, but the Span
ish commander sailed away without
again shipping the guns. This &C.
counts for the fact that when the Girls
tobal Colon was run ashore and sunk
by the ships of the American fleet on
the Cuban coast, it was found that she
was without heavy armament.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 20, 1898

To SHOW how the ignorant people OF
this country have been gulled by the
lingo press thereof, in respect of Cuban
affairs, it is only necessary to say that,
since thousands of lives and hundreds
of millions of money bave been thrown
away in the effort to secure liberty and
home rule to the "patrots who were
bravely struggling against cruel and
oppressive foreign government" the
same press. having gained its object,
now tells the truth about the so called
patriots which every we'll informed
man knew before, and says they are
cowardly and triling and should have
nothing to do with the government OF
the island in which they live. One Of
them, which from the first has been
among the loudest in the praises of the
"heroic PATRIOTS prints the following,
from reliable correspondent at San
tiago:
''Even our officers no longer conceal
their disgust for their Cuban allies, aud
it is understood that the warm friend
ship displayed toward them at first has
now turned into contempt, for the
Cubans have neither fought nor work
ed. l saw group OF Cubans refuse
point blank to aid in building roads,
and during the two DAYS heavy fight
ing, while they were lettering in the
rear, our surgeons sought in vain TO Sc
cure assistance from them, even to cut
poles for improvised filters for our
wounded"
Other reliable accounts from Sar-
tiago are to the effect that the Cobans
refuse to be bound by the rules of civ
ilized warfare and even threaten to
commerce bushwhacking against the
Americans for refusing to let them pur-
sue their policy of loot and outrage in
Santiago that they had practiced in the
smaller towns the U. 5. troops captur-
ed near that city. And so threatening
have they become, that the troops who
took that city will be kept there to pre-
serve law and order. How different it
is with the Spaniards, is proved by the
fact that General Shafter has compli-
mented them upon their courage and
courtesy, and has granted them ali the

Peace Nav Wreck Spain.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.-A
prominent member of the Diplomatic
Corps here, who has been greatly in
terested in the Spanish-American war,
and who is daily in receipt of cable
news from Cuba, Madrid and from his
own country, gave yesterday an inter-

Bat that peace will be even more

be q continuation Of the war.
There are now in the kingdom three
different parties, one of which is bound
to succeed, but that success necessarily
means ruin to Spain. The first and
most important factor in Spain's future
is the Carlist party. Next comes the
Weyler party. Third, but not least,
comes the republicans, with Salmeron
at their head, all holding Utopian
views of a free Latin country.

there would be triple revolution in

put her name to degrees and swayed
by the hattering tongues of her favor

several ambitious leaders. The three
parties mentioned are DESTROYS of peace,
because it will further their ends.
They know that as soon as peace is de-
clared revolution will be precipitated.
Peace will necessarily come soon. As yet the

NEW YORK, July 2O.-A special from

in many deaths, have occurred at Maya.

wounded were taken to their homes
and to the May aguez hospital. Some
OF these will die.
