AS viii be seen from an interview with
him. printed in today's news columns,
Lieut.. Carranza, author of the famous
Toronto letter. which caused the breaking
up of the Spanish spy system on this con-
tinent, takes very ill-natured view of
the war and its results and demonstra-
tions. According to this pessimist the Mer-
rimac affair was the only incident of any
note, and he deprecates the idea that the
American soldier or sailor won any renown
for himself by his work in the campaign.
1t was all chance, favorable to the United
States. In most respects the outgivings of
this svicted chief spy. who now goes home
doubtless to pose before his people as
great man, are worthy of no attention. But
In one respect he assumes so curtously con-
Trajectory an attitude that word of note
is deserved. In the course of the interview
he declared that Gen. Shafter would never
have captured Santiago but for the assist
ance OF the Cuban insurgents, who render
ed him invaluable service by stopping the
