Surrender of Santiago
The news of the surrender Of
Santiago de Cuba, including the
whole eastern end of Cuba and all
the Spanish forces which had been
operating there, was inspiring to
most everybody in this ciuntry. 1t
most everybody in this country. 1t
American arms. The army shares
with the navy the glory of the sue
cess, and our flag floats victorious
on land as well as on sea. 1t is to
be hoped now that this is the be-
ginning of the end. 1t is a grave
disaster to Spain. When a great
blow has been struck and great
victory won, then is the time to
strike still greater blows and to
aim at still greater victories.
The destruction of Cervera's
fleet pointed straight to the de-
struction of Camara's. The bonn
bardment of Santiago was a clar-
ion call to the bombardment OF
Cadiz. The terms of Torals cap
itulation are a guidebook to Porto
Rico. Only one thing prevented
the destruction of Santiago. That
was surrender. Only one thing
can check the destructive progress
of our arms against Spain herself
That is surrender. 1t is for Spair
to speak that word. Until she
does our word is, Forward, For
ward, all along the line.
