-
Washington, Joly 14 -Tbs first
chapter io tbe land campafgo of tbe
United States s gainst Sputa closed to?
day when the Spanish color? gave place
over Santiago to the American Sag.
Nert will follow the transportation of
the Spanish troop* back to their native
land aaa the captare of tbe islatid of
Porto Rico, unless peace soon inter
.feces.
The ?ieee of Santiago bad lasted two
week? ?nd waa remarkable io mary re
?pects and io non* more than tbe heavy
percentage of losa through death,
wounds or sickness of the soldier* and
sailors engaged on both aide? Look
iog baek over the record of these two
weeks it is seen that a great ironclad
squadron baa been destroyed, chat nearly
a thousand aoidiers have died ia the
tra ooh ea of Santiago On tbe other
baod about 250 American soldiers have
been killed, and in round numbera 2,?
OOO more have been sent to tba .hoppi
tala from wounds, fevers and ot be;- ail
menta. Our seat had a remarkable ex
emption from disaster in tbe macy en?
gagements it bad with tbe forts at the
entrance of the harbor and wi'fr tbe
Spanish squadron.
"Next is Porto Rico," said Secretary
Alger, after receiving the news of San?
tiago's formal surrender, **aod then, if
used be, Habana v
Tbe secretary was in excellent ?pirits
He bas been more anxious than he
dared phots as ro the condition of nor
side ? Didiers and locked with apprebeo
opoo tbe possibility of a prorogation
of thc struggle in the unheaithy valley
of Santiago
The secretary paid that tbe Porto
Rican expedition would go forward iai
roedt&tely. lt wiii comprise new men
entirely. The warriors in the tranches
before Santiago have distinguished
themselves sad it ts not deemed prudent
to bring them io unnecessary contact
wit?? new troops ia view of tbe dangar
of spreading contagion The sick sr 1
diets will be nursed back to health and
brought to the United States as soon a?
they caa be safely removed laira un <?
regimen?s will be ordered to Santiago
to garrison the town, aod, as stated io
these d'sparcbes yesterday, two o th es ?
regiments are already under orders <o
proceed.
The Porto Rican expedition will
be commanded by Gen. Miles in per
son, .though Gen Brooke? now in
command at Camp Thomas, is ex
peel ed to be bia main dependence
Tbe size ol the expedition will de
pen ? upon Gen. Miles' wishes, al
thoDgh it is believed that 25,000 men
will be sufficient for tbe purpose At
San Juan the navy wi?l be of greater
assistance than it was at S arl iago,
owing to the possibility of approach?
ing the town , more closely without
risking contact with mines Gen.
Brooke is now on bis way to Wash?
ington by direction of Secretary Al
ger. so that he wilt be in a position
to make bis views known to the de
part ment. The experience gained
in dispatching Sbafter's expedition is
expected will aid tbe officials in their
determination to make short work of
the Porto Rican affair There will
be plenty of transports available for
tbe expedition, a? the government
bas devised otbei means of removing
the Spaniards captured at Santiago to
Spain than by carrying them on these
transports That the navy is ready
to do its share at short notice goes
without saying
Porto Rico is not expected to offer
a very formidable resistance lt ia
believed that the morai effect of to
day's surrender at Santiago will b*> to
discourage the defender? of San
Juan There is, however* always
the prospect that peace may ensue
before hostilities have progressed
against Spain's easternmost West
India islands Rumors were afloat
this afternoon to the effect that the
Spanish government at last had made
overtures in that direction, but their
basis probably was the current be?
lief that one more reverse to the
Spanish arms would be sufficient to
compel the Spanish government to
sue for peace, and this reverse was
furnished by the surrender of Torsi's
army.
Tbe navy department has not been
affected by these rumors to the ex
tent of relaxing any of its precau
tiona or abandoning any of its plans
for Secretary Long stated uuequivo
cally today that Commodore Watson's
eastern squadron would certainly go
to Spain as soon as it could sail

I No strenuous reason exists to cause us

Mr Featherstone is a lawyer of un?

charge that bas ever been brought
against bim, so far *f> we have heard,
is that he seeks fbe office bf govrrnor.
Of ibis we fear that he is guilty We
believe that ht* candidacy i* made in
defeoee of a principle thar commands
bis sincere end disinterested devotion
Io cur judgment, it is absurd to pay
j that Mr. Featherstone is a prohibiten
i?t for the sake of (ffioe aod we think
that there are practically noa? to Lau

declarations There is and bas been
nothing in Mr Fea-herstone's life and
conduct that ought to subject bis
motives to suspicion. Wheo he de?
clares that he i* for prohibition because
he believes in it. the statement is en?

Ir does cot follow necessarily because
Mr. Featherstone happens to b? a good

THE NEW UNITED

Washington. Joly 14.-The sub?
scriptions to the new 3 per cent war
loan of $200 000,000, which closed
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, including
offers made by syndicates, will
amount to $1,200.000,000, or ?ix
times the amount of the issue The
subscriptions represented by checks
or ether forms of payment, it is esti
maten, will aggregate ab ut $750 -
000,000 or three and three-quarters
times the amount of the issue Early
this week Assistant Secretary Van
detlipp, whe has haJ immediate su
pervision-of the work in connection
with the loan, became convinced that
the subscriptions of individuals would
be far more than sufficient to wholly ;
absorb the loan and gave instructions j
that checks representing ali subser?p |
tion* of corporations be prepared and
returned to the senders to night Ir. is
thought at the treasury department
that no individual subscriptions as
high a? $10 0C0 will receive an al?
