There may be a hard fight before the victory is won. Since the experience at Santiago no one is disposed to mini mize the dangers or the difficulties of the task. At the same time, the War arid navy officials have learned many lessons from Santiago and the experi ence will be of advantage. There will be an adequate force. The figures in the possession of the War Department show that there are about 19,000 Spanish regular and volunteer soldiers upon the island. To meet this force fully 30,000 Americans w;ill be sent, so that there will be no occasion for hastening re-enforcements, as was the case with the Santiago campaign. CAMP THOMAS TROOPS MOVE TODAY. Chattanooga, Tenn..- July 19. The-P depots. movement of volunteer troops from Camp Thomas to Porto Rico will prob ably begin tomorrow. In all, fifteen regiments will go, to gether with many batteries of artillery. The second brigade, reserve hospital and ambulance corps and signal ser vice have ben ordered to Newport News for embarkationv These number 4,000 and will be the first to move. The first and second divisions of the first corps will probably also embark at Newport News, and will start early next week. A N. C.

Americans and Spanish soldiers are becoming more and more friendly. They both agree that the Cubans are a good-for-nothing, lazy set.

WANT TO BE ANNEXED Plantation Owners and Other Wellto-Do Classes la Caba Do not Want Indepen dence for the Islands. Santiago, July 19 There Is a very noticeable radical change of sentiment among the producing classes and well-to-do element of Cuba In favor of the annexation of the Island to the United States. They say they do not desire tbe absolute Independence, of Cuba for sev eral reasons which , they give. This sentiment Is especially noticea ble among the plantation owners and merchants, wbo have their Interests to close touch with the United States. For them the only solutfon of the pro blem which will save Cuba Is annexa tion. V In their opinion there Is no other way to prevent Cuba coming tn a state of complete anarchy, because Independence, they say, would never be a sure guarantee of peace. - They claim that It would be a source of future selfish ambition, social discord and political conflict, -which would op erate decidedly against the prosperity of tha Island. .
