IT may he safely predicted that for the next ten days the news from Santiago de Cuba and its immediate neighborhood will be of unusual interest. Happily, telegraphic communication haa been restored, and the people of the United States will be kept closely informed of what their gallant soldiers mid sailors are doing. No man donbts that they will well acquit themselves. The doubt ami fear which possess all minds is as to the cost. How many of our brave hoys shall we leave upon tho field of battleV Until the list of the dead and wounded shall have been umde up the pnblic interest will remain unabated.

At the i.u«tiug thf board uf C'JU trol last cveuiuK, au ordinance was iu trodured levying a tax of 3 per cent, upon all c'ompjniifs roviviug a franchise for the cyuf-tructiou of telephone and telegraph t-ystima withing the city as well the manner in which tin- wires b(; ktrung. Such regulations are wise and they should have been incorporated in the franchises granted to former companies. the comp'inif-snmv in existence can lis rompi-lli-d load-opt tlir-Fi 1 condi- to opf r.ito under thorn, such an ordinance now will serve to place any new enterprises of this sort in an unfair position where they can not compete and to that extent as sisl in stivngthoning a monopoly upon tlicsi- privileges. If these proviHons can be mnde to ho ef- ffrlivo on the companies now en.ioying such privileges.then pass the ordinance, if it can not. then kill the ordinance.

The Spaniards in the Philippines have been cruel and bloodthirsty, but they have notbsen so swift as ourselves in the work of depopulation. There are not more than 500,000 Indians left in the vast area of the United States.

The native populations of tha Philippines are estimated to number over 0,000,000. Wi; shall not now have long to wait to obtain a test of the fighting quality of the regular army of Spain. It will probably make a stubborn resistance to the progress of General Shatter in his march toward Santiago. The Spaniards will fight with whatever advantage may be derived from defensive works in a broken and difficult country. It will be remarkable if they shall not find some point where they will make a determined stand.

THK new United States bonds command a premium of 1 to per cent, in financial centres. This fact, being generally understood, furnishes a new spur to subscriptions on the part of email holders. The popular demand seems to increase from day to day. A across the Atlantic to the Spanish coast will be a small trip for the Oregon, and the Iowa will prove herself to be just as good. Their seago ing finalities have been thoroughly tested during the last three mouths.

THK Spanish troops at Santiago are seasoned in one sense of the word, but they have had no experience in any except guerrilla fighting. They are not nearly as well trained in field operations as Shatter's regulars. Tin: engagement at ynaMim was qm'te a battle and the results were entirely satisfactory. An important unsi- tion was carried and it was shown that onr volunteers will not fall back oven ambuscaded. IT is a question whether the supporters of Hawaiian annexation will be able to keep uneasy senators in their seats to maintain a quorum long enough to reach a final vote on the New) nr.ds resolution.

As the midnight heats approach there a general desire for an adjournment. Some of the opponents of annexation are very much in earnest, and are long winded. It is understood that they have offered is a compromise proposition to agree upon a fixed date for a vote at the next of congress. As this offer has not been definitely rejected it may be iually accepted; but such a course would manifestly be a groat dis- ppointment to the administration. A complete floating machine shop is Hi the way to Admiral Sampson.

advance haa been pushed with great energy. The ground gained already is sufficient to settle the eventful fate of Santiago. It is the firm foothold that will lead to some new advantage every day. Till', so-called Spanish parliament has been suspended indefinitely. It represented the premier, as is usual in Spain, and he will quickly follow it into retirement.

A military government will probably be the speedy result. SOME of the veteran military critics predicted that it would take nearly a week to laud Gen. Shatter's army at Santiago. Precedent was on their side, but in this instance a single day answered the purpose. A serious casualty list on the American side is a novelty in the present war, but it is an inevitable result of the conditions at Santiago, where the Spaniards are in the last ditch.

THE insurgents have performed a highly valuable service in preventing the re-enforceuieut of the Spanish at Santiago. Their aid iu this respect will save many American lives. No doubt all insurgents within reach of Santiago are Hacking there to take a part iu the fighting. Faith in the insurgents has advanced rapidly during the last ten days.

per Jno. C. Schwartz's THE EDITORS ARE INTERESTED IN COMMODORE WATSON'S CALL. The following extracts are culled from the editorial pages Yesterday's New York Newspapers: TUI-: NF.AliHR THEY CAME. "They did not light other soldiers.

They were handfnl of volunteers iu an army of reKiihus. They were 111.11- buehed in a totally uukuown country, and wero lighting Fppcters who used smokeless powder. Truly, the Spanish are not used to lighting men like thesfi rare spirits that they are, collected from drawing room and gulch, welded together by the one quality of absolute fearlessness. I'ATKIOTISM TEIJSrS CiUKKIl. TI.MKS—In many respects the response of the country to the country has been as prompt and as creditable in as it was in ISIil; but there have not been wanting insUmees in which American citizens have shown themselves desirous only of extracting unusual and exorbitant profits out of the public necessities.

When the story comes to be told in full about the acquisition of slrps for the use of the government it will appear that owners liavo been willing to make a sacritice of their own interests; but it will certainly appear that others niive extorted the very last dollar that the urgency of the case could induce the agents of the government to pay. AilATEUliS. if there had been justice in thn complaints that private citizens of influence had been appointed to rank- in the army from which they would command, and. therefore, through their ignorance, imperil the lives of the troops uid the cause of tho nation of war. tha outrage ou military propriety would have become significant in the presence the amateur strategists of the United States SfiiMte.

As a matter of fact, no citizen without military training has been appointed to commission iii ths army.

The definite news of Admiral Caumra'a fleet is at Port Said is in' stantly followed by an order to Commodore Watson to proceed at once with an armored squadron to the Spanish coast to harass its exposed places, to destroy its commerce and impress upon the mind of even the dullest Spaniard tbe fact that this is war iu war waged to win. And this is the most merciful and humane way of waging war, because it compels the speedy ending of war.

Commodore Watson's array will be amply able to take care of anything it may encounter. Caniara has put himself in our hands. Caught between Dewey and Watson, we can have him whenever we close our grip, and with the last of the naval power of Ipaiu.

There are heroic memories there to welcome us, and a meteor iiag on the crest of the rock that will blaze more brightly to see the stars and stripes stream past upon the warpath.
