Santiago, July 22.-General Shafter has opened the cable office here and is communicating with Washington re- garding the disposition of the Fifth corps, except the Thirty-third and part of the Fifty-fourth Michigan regiments. None of the latter have been ill action, but all are camped at the same place, so far as health considerations go Gen. MeKibbin thinks the Fifth corps could join the Porto Rico expedition under General Miles. But the condition of the men now, according to the physi- clans and commanding officers, are such that the entire corps should return to the north at once. General Miles cabled that he does not want, and sxill not need a single man among them, for he be- lieyes that after their hard campaign they should be given rest of at least two or three weeks The cavalry di- vision was sent into the mountains, at its own request to see if it cannot get into shape to join Mics, and if no fever develops the men may go to Porto Rico.
 General Shafter has eabled Washing ton the imperative necessity that he should have more immunes sent to him quickly, and in all probability corps will leave within the next 10 days.

Washington, July 29.--The closing of the Cienfuegos cable absolutely iso. lates Havana and Gen. Blanco from Madrid Blancos only means of com munication with the Madrid govern ment now is by the Key West cable, which is under the strictest censorship by the government of the United States. As a result, several cipher dis patches passing between Gen. Blanco and the Spanish government drifted into this country yesterday. It is scarcely necessary to say that they did not reach their destination.
 The final cutting off of communica- ton between Blanco and his home gov ernment is a source of great gratifca- ton to the administration.

ment. In this case, of course, the
occurrence would not necessarily
lead to war; but the suggestion
win present itself that torpedoes
and submarine mines are not pos
sessed or worked by individuals.
They are engines of warefare
rarely used, and their control is
almost exclusively confined to
governments. Their manipula-
ton and operation requires skilled
and scientific hands-men whose
exclusive business is the manage
ment of such means of offensc and
defense. 1t is beyond reason that
such a fate should have overtaken
the Maine without warning to the
government in possession of the
harbor, and whose ships and boats
exercise a constant supervision Of
every part of it. The most sigui-
ficant feature of the situation is
the order issued by the Govern
ment for work to be pushed on all
coast Notifications and unfinished
war vessels. 1t means, simply, Of
course, that war is a possibility,
or even perhaps probability, hu
not that it is invitable. The re.a-
tions between the two government
are of course undergoing a most
dangerous tension, and its strain Is
immeasurably increased by inc
action of the sensational press on
both sides. There is no calamity
which could befall which would
be more deplorable than war.
There is no possibility of guessing
to what it would lead should the
outbreak come-what compiled
tions might arise, or neighboring
nations be drawn into it. The
world seems to be a great powder
magazine, awaiting but the touch
of the spark that shall set off an
explosion that may change The

loose in Georgia IN his race for
governor. The picturesque charac-
ter of his canvas is foreshadow ed
in the following announcement:
~ would not lug into this cam
paign goldbugism anl silver dig
gerry and the tariff issue, for the
Governor Of Georgia and the State
House officials have no more to do
with the enactment or non-ena1t-
ment of laws on that question than
the frosts of Alaska have to with
the oranges of Florida. am sick
and tired of the average little
politician tracking around over tho
State preaching goldbugism or
championing silver diggery, which
be uses as blindfold to hide from
the eyes of the people his own in9f-
fciency for the Office he proposes to
fill, or TO raise an enthusiasm OH a
question about which he himself
has views that he couldn't sell Tor
10 cents a dozen in any INTEL &C.
tual market. "
1t is very lik ely that the rever-
end champion will be defeated in
his crusade against political hum
buggery. The world in general
and Georgia in particular is hard-
ly educated up to fair square com
mon sense in political methods,
and Sam will find that he is beating
the wind. However this may be,
the sympathy of all straightforward
men, non-politicians, must be
with him, and the conviction
forces itself that if he should by
any chance become governor, he
will make a good one. One thing
is certain, the political tricksters
and humbugs will find that they
are up against a buzz saw,
