Ti'e feeling for pence is growing ulaily.
Time Chaambcr of Commerce has received

manila , but his insisting on tile unconditional
surrender of the garrison of Santiago does
not seem to Indicate a conciliatory spirit.
The blatiner in which the first advances on
the part of Spain are met will have great
inlluCflce on subsequent events , as the Span-

Looking back over thmo record of these

sqtmadron has beoum destroyed , that mmearly
a thousand Spammisil sailors have been
drowned or killed by shell and liamue , and
that an untold nmmmber of Spanishm soldiers
have died in the trenches of Santiago.
On time other hand about 250 American
soldiers lmaro been killed , amid in round

There will be plenty of transports available -

imas devised other means of removimmg the
Spaniards captured at Santiago to Spain
than by carrying them on timoso tramis-
ports. The mmavy is ready to do its share
at short mmotice.
I'orto Rico Is riot expected to offer a
formidable resistance. It Is believed that
the mmmomal effect of today's surreamler at
Saumtiago will be to discourage time defenders
ot San Juamm , There is. however , always
the prospect that veace may ensue before
