More Like Action.

Many items of news conjoin today to
re-encourage the country and to make
ii appear that Uncle Sam has put on a
thick coat of war paint at last. The
reports from Santiago are highly salts
factory, and seem to indicate that the
place will fall before such a force as
Shafter is leading against it, without
difficulty. Indeed, it almost looks as if
he might find most of the work done in
advance. by the time he can land his
troops.
Good strategy appears to have mark
ed the beginning of shore operations.
The ruse of landing both to the east
and west of the harbor simultaneously
evidently confused the Spaniards and
rendered their resistance comparative
ly ineffective. The movement was i'm
portant at the outset in demonstrating
the ability of the Cubans to render us
valuable aid in action. 1t will be noted
that Garcia's men attacked the Spanish
fortalice at the point of debarkat ton.
and covered our men until they could
form, with great gallantry
According to the dispatches, the ad-
vance guard of the American forces
has gained the heights which over
look the bay and city of Santiago and
already is planting siege guns in po-
sition to lombard Cervera's squadron
and the permanent defenses. In the
hopelessness which is believed to char
acteriZe the Spanish defense. it is i'm
nha is do
that the positions now held by Us will
be retaken before the army of invasion
arrives, which should be not later than
Saturday. The demolition of the Morro
and Socapa Notifications, the destruc-
tion of the cruiser Reina Mercedes and
the sinking of the torpedo destroyer Ter
ror, with all on board, have taken the
life out of the resistance. Admiral
Sampson is now able to steam up to the
wreck of the Merrimac and sweep the
lower harbor with his guns.
Under all the circumstances, it is not
too much to expect that Cervera and
Linares will surrender in preference to
maintaining a manifestly useless strug-
gle against overwhelming force. 1t is
worthy of remark that there was an
opinion on board our ships when the
dispatch boat left that an offer of capt.
ulation might be made before the main
body of the Army should arrive. That
would be an excellent thing, because it
would free twenty-eight thousand men,
mostly regulars, and admit of their i'm
mediate use in occupying Porto Rico.
So it may be set down as probably too
good to be. true.
The record for the week so far has
been a brilliant one. With the heroic
achievement of young Hobson. the luck
of the Navy in Western waters seems
to have changed for the better. From
the hour that the Merriniac went down
in a cyclone Of shot and shell our sea
fighters have been making honorable
progress, and the American people are
congratulating themselves that the
pacific blockade" period of the war is
at an end. Now it is asserted that
President Mckinley means to indulge
In hostilities in the fast and furious
style of the art, in order to bring the
matter to a speedy end.
Good fortune attend him in that pol
icy.

From late morning dispatches it be-
gins to appear probable that Gen. Au-

general assault and destruction at the
hands of the Philippine Gen. Aguinaldo
Madrid advices show that the Spanish
government Is in q condition Of despair,
which may possibly lead to a peace-at-
any-price movement. The question is
whether the Sagasta ministry can carry
the country with 1t. Anarchy or foreign
intervention seem to be coming fast to-
ward the Spanish capital.

Good for Mr.. Craig, president of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce!
When Senator Perkins telegraphed him
that the people of the Pacific Coast should
protest against the sending of the coast
defense vessels to re-enforce Dewey. he

the Administration. even to our jcopar-
dyi" That is the right sort of talk. It
has the smack of old-fashioned Ameri-
can patriotism. A country full of citi-
zens like President Craig could defy the
Earth. and come pretty near standing off
the other planets into the bargain.

Reports from Porto Rico represent a
state of great anxiety in the island ap-
preaching panic. Business is at stand
still The coffee planters cannot get food
for laborers. and their crop is going TO
waste. Among the Spaniards the only
CLEAN of hope is that after the 'repulse'
before San Juan last month, the Yankee
fleet may not dare to come back for an
other attempt. We ought to hurry up and
relieve our future dependency of all this
suspense. Speedy occupation would at
once end the misery and restore peace
and business activity. Governor General
Fftzhugh Lee should be issuing orders
from the palace in less than fortnight.

hetherlngton's draft had taken a
weight off his mind. as he had an ap-
pointment that evening with an in
| ulVldual whose tastes were expensive
like his own.
His business during the day does not
concern us. but when 1t was evening,
ana the lights were lit the cafes
thronged, the footpaths full of people
coming and going. he reappeared in
the center Of the city. Lighting a ci-
gar, he strolled up and down; paused
at a kiosk and bought a newspaper;
then, approaching the front of one Of
the great cafes, found vacant seat at
table. ordered some coffee, and sat
down In the open air watching the
busy throng.
He was sitting thus when his atten-
tention was attracted to figure stand
Ing close by him. 1t was that of a
young man dressed carelessly in a
tweed suit and wearing a wideawake
hat. He was standing In the light Of
one Of the windows, talking TO an
other man. somewhat his senior, whom
he had just met. Caussidiere caught
a portion Of their conversation.

Caussidiere did not catch the reply,
and the two men moved away with
the crowd; but he had recognized, at
glance, in the younger of the inter
locutors, an old friend-John Suther-
land.
"Diable!" he muttered. What has
brought him to Paris? I must take
care that he and Marjorie do not
meet"
He rose, paid for his refreshment,
and walked away. 1t was now
o'clock. Hailing a fiacre, he jumped
in. and ordered the coachman to
drive to the theater du Chatelet.
Alighting at the door, Caussidiere
strolled into the vestibule, and paid for
a seat in one of the balcony boxes. He
found the vast place thronged from
floor to ceiling to witness the per-

conspicuous. Caussidiere was charmed,
concentrating his admiring eyes par
ticularly on one black-eyed, thickly-

prince and sang risky" songs, with
topical illusions and dancing accom-
