They arc sab jew t < interruption at any
moment by an a-rmisiice, but it must he
eaid that th> Is scarcely expected ini
mediately.
It is realized that when the Spanish
government learns the extent of tho de
mands to b . do bv the United States,
the first eS'eot ,v ill be to induce a reflex
movement, wiiicli in turn will result in
the continuafeion of active hostilities for
a time. This time, it is expected, how
ever, will be brief, only perhaps so long
as is necessary for General Miles to
completely invest San Juan de Porto

That stroke, it is thought, will

sistance if it has not before that time
yiekled to the earnest representations
of those European powers that have
been so persistent in their efforts to
secure peace.
Armistice Is Looked For.
Militirv maxiLm pttipUk 1 periok allow two wppIth ns
the of time neeosaary
for General Miles to secure this com
manding position, and therefore it is
hoped that within that space of time
the Spanish government will have been
brought not exactly to the approval of
a treaty of peace, but to an application
for an armistice that m its conditions
will amount to a concession ot those
things most desired by the United
states government.
It is pointed out that the conditions
those promise on a large Santiago scale to duplicate
existing at when Gon
eral 1 oral surrendered. The bpaniards
surrendered with provision for a com
mission to adjust the details of the sur
render. Likewise Spain may secure an
armistice and provide for a commission
to adjust the the dOtaBs of a peace treaty,
but effect of the first action will be,
like that of Toral’s, surrender.
As the. terms to bp imposed by the
United States, it seems probable that
