It is realized that when the Spanish government learns the extent of tlie Jciuunds to lie made by the United States tlie first effect will be to make a re Ilex move, which, in Ir.rr.. will result in the continuation of active hostilities for a time.

That stroke, it is thought, will bring the Spimisli government to a realization of tlie hopelessness of further resistance, if it has riot before that time yielded to earnest representations of those Kuvopean powers that have been so persistent in their efforts to secure peace. Military experts allow two weeks as the maximum period of time nccesaiiry for General Miles to secure this commanding 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 treuty of peace, but long us A MAP OK CUBA AND VICINITY.

Washington, July 24. Lieutenant Hobson had a long conference with Assistant Secretary Allen, Ciptain Bradford and several other officers of the uavy department, regarding the raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal I'olon. The licutenunt succeeded, while in New York, in arranging witli the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking company fur the execution of the plan he had prepared for saviug the vessels. The wreckers have promised to get together the pontoons, air lings and compressed air apparatus which will he used to lighten and right tlie ships, and will send this material to Santiago from New York ou a fast vessel within three days. Lieutenant Hobson is confident that if the work can be undertaken before a cyclone seta in, it will result successfully. Secretary Long says that tlie lieutenants plan for ruining tlie Colon seems entirely feasible. Tin; proposed plan involves methods and applinuces outside of those usually employed in wrecking. They necessitate the use of air appliances of various kinds in righting and raising tlie ship that rarely if ever before have been used ou vessels of the size and weight of tlie Colon, and although there is some doubt of its success, the uavy department officials think the prize well worth the experiment.
