General Henry's division, consisting
of 3,400 men, and including 26 pieces of
artillery, has been ordered to march
immediately from Yauco to Ponce in
order to be ready to join the movement
north to San Juan.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment
was sent this morning toward Juana
Diaz, eight miles north of Ponce, en
route to San Juan, where, it is report—
ed, the Spaniards will make a stand.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment
will be reinforced if necessary.
Word has reached here that the Spa-
niards were murdering native Porto
Ricans, and indulging in general out.-
rages.
The first real resistance is expected
when our troops reach Aibonito, thir-
ty-five miles northeast of here. Aibon-
ito has a thousand feet elevation.
General Miles says he has no inten-
tion of making a landing of troops at
Cape San Juan, especially as the place
is only a. roadstead, where transports
are liable to suffer from the prevalent
storms.
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco
is now in the possession of our troops.
General Stone found five torpedoes on
the track. These were destroyed and
the track is uninjured.
Our troops found seventeen Span-
iards in the Yauco hospital all of whom
had been wounded in Tuesday’s fight.
Two of them have since died.
Proclamations have been issued by
Yauco, as a United States city, expres-
sing delight at annexation and the ad—
ministration of General Miles and of
our troops
The mayor of Ponce has called upon
all the residents of that place to exer-
cise calmness and circumspection un-
der the new and desirable conditions.
He also urges forbearance toward con-
quered enemies. Much- enthusiasm is
everywhere manifested at the sight of
the Stars and Stripes.
The Mayor' 3 Proclamation.
’~Followlng is the text of the mayor's
proclamation, issued at Yauco, as a
United States city:
Citizens: To-day the citizens of Por-
to Rico assist in one of her most beau-
tiful feasts. The sun of America. shines
upon our mountains and valleys this
day of July, 1898. It is a day of glo-
rious remembrance for each son of this
beloved island, because for the first
time there waves over it the flag of the
Stars, planted in the name of the gov-
ernment of the United States of Amer-
ica by the major general of the Ameri-
can army, Senor Miles.
Porto Ricans, we are, by the miracu-
lous intervention of the God of the just,
given back to the bosom of our moth-
er, America, in whose waters nature
placed us as people of America. To her
we are given back in the name of her
government by General Miles, and we
must send our most expressive-saluta-
tion of generous affection through our
conduct toward the valiant troops, rep-
,_ resented by distinguished officers and
commanded by the illustrious General
Miles.
Citizens, long live the government of
the United States 'of America! Hail to
their valiant troops! Hail Porto Rico,
- always American!
Yauco, Porto Rico, United States of
America!

A LARGE ARMY iron CUBA
My Thousand Will G9 to Havana In
the Fall:
Washington, Aug. 2.-An army of not
less, than fifty thousand men will be
sent to Cuba. this~ fall. This army of
occupation will operate principally in
Havana province. ’
The administration now feels that
peace is assured, and arrangements for
l adjusting matters in Cuba. are being
perfected. The army will be under the
l command of Major Fitzhugh Lee, and
its principal duty will be to establish
law andIord'er in; the island.
Owing to the danger from yellow
fever, the movement of these forces is
not expected to begin until the middle
_ ‘ of September or the first of October.
1..—Major _
In the meantime all ten of the immune
regiments will be sent to Cuba. The ac-
lmy of occupation will consist almost
entirely of volunteers. ~
Since the beginning
president has- contemp ted sending
General Lee to Cuba as litary gover-
nor. General Lee' s experience in Cuba,
and his knowledge of Cuban character
it is thought, especially fit him for the
position. Whether or not he will gov-
ern the whole island or confine his ju-
risdiction to Havana province cannot
at present be stated.
The volunteer forces are now in con-
dition to take the field. The men are
well equipped and organized. They
long for service in the field. The presi-
dent and Secretary Alger, realizing the
desire of the men for active service, will
select for this campaign, as far as pos-
sible, regiments which {have not seen
the enemy, but which "have for months
lived a monotonous camp life. Forces
will probably be taken from Chicka-
mauga, Jacksonville and Camp Alger.
The army of occupation will be scat-
tered over the whole island, occupying,
under trusted officers, the principal
towns and cities. Military rule will be
establish-td in Cuba. When the natives
establish their government and show
their ability to properly conduct the
affairs of the island, the troops will be
withdrawn. How long this will be no
one can say, and it may prove neces-
sary to keep an armed force there for
years to come.
The same course will be pursued in
Porto Rico. General Brooke, it is said,
will have the management of the at-
fairs of that island. ‘
BLOCKADE WORK BY THE BADGER
She Captured in Tug, a Schooner and n
Barge at Nuevitas.
Key West, Aug. 2.-The tugboat
Chiids. has arrived at Tortugas. She
brought additional facts concerning the
captures by the Badger at Nuevitas.
The Badger on Thursday picked up a.
tug, a schooner and a barge leaving
Nuevitas.
The tug was towing the other vessels
all of which flew Red Cross flags, and
the Badger found on them 382 wounded
Spanish soldiers, who were being taken
to Havana. Most of the men were se—
verely wounded and in a bad way.
The Badger took them to Tortugas,
where they will have every attention.
The schooner Dolores, sixty tons, ar- 1
rived here this morning in charge of ,
Ensign Craven and four men from the
Eagle, which caught her on July 23 in
Covrienties bay.
The vessel was heavily laden with
food and had sailed for Batabano. A
large number of papers found on her:
are believed to be papers of other ves—
sels.

Warner Miller of New York, the presi-
dent of the Nicaragua Canal Commis-
sion, and Senator Morgan of Alabama?
the leading advocate of that project in
Congress, had a conference on the Nic-
araguan Canal question with President
McKinley yesterday. The president, it
is said, expressed his acquiescence in
the belief that the government posses-
sion of the Nicaraguan canal is now
necessary. and that the war and its re—
sults make the canal indispensable to
the United States. The president, his.
callers say, intends to make strong rec-
ommendations to Congress for legisla-
tion making immediate provision for
completing the canal and for making

THE TERMS OF PETE-E
the Answer to Spain.
N0 REEY YET RECEIVED
Evacuation of Cuba, the Cesslon of Porto
Rico and One of the Ladrones, and
Occupation of Manila Pending Final
Decision as to the Future of the Philip-
pines. Status of the Negotiations.
Washington, August 3.-—-The following
‘statement was given out at the state.
department late yesterday: '
“In order to remove any misappre-
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United States
and Spain. It is deemed proper to say
that the terms offered by the United
States to Spain in the note handed to
the French ambassador on Saturday
last are in substance as follows:
“The president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem
nity, but requires the relinquishment
of all claim of sovereignty over, or ti-
tle to, the island of Cuba, as well as the
immediate evacuation by Spain of the
island; the cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Porto Ri-
co and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and the
like cession of an island in the La-
drones. The United States will hold
and occupy the city, bay and harbor of
Manila, pending the conclusion of a
1 treaty of peace which shall determine
the control, disposition and govern-
ment of the Philippines.
“If these terms are accepted by Spain
in their entirety, it is stated that com-
missioners will be named by the Uni-
ted States to meet commissioners on
the part of Spain for the purpose of
concluding a treaty of peace on the ba-
sis above indicated.”
As will be observed, the statement
shows that the announcement of The
administration pl-an in these dispatches
last Wednesday afternoon was authen-
tic. The only point of divergence is the
inclusion in yesterday's statement of a
proposal to retain possession of one is-
land in the hadrons group.
The Ladrone Clause is inserted in the
'terms of peace as a sort of make
Twelght. If Spain consents to all the
rest of the terms and stands out on the
TLadrone question, she can have this
whole group of islands back intact for
- the asking.
As a matter of fact we have no use
whatever for Guam or any other La-
drone island in its neighborhood. If we
. should establish a coaling station there
Twe should probably pay a good round
‘sum for the expense of stocking it up
and supplying it with necessary de-
fences, and then we should find that
it lay too far off the track of any com-
merce now in progress, or any in which
we are likely to engage. This is the
prophecy made by men who have made
a study of the Eastern question on i‘ .s
~commerclal as well as its military side
and from the point of View of the Uni-
ted States, some of those who are most
assured that we have no use for the
La-drones or any part of :them are nev-
ertheless strong advocates of our pos-
sessing and holding the Philippines,
which shows that their View of the La-
ldro'ne question is not due to any preju-
dice against the imperialistic or colo-
ni-al idea as a whole.
The supposition has been from the
start that the Spanish government
would stickle over the terms at peace
when first presented, no matter how
severe or how mild they might be.
Under these circumstances it might be
T desirable to give Spanish pride 3.
bridge on which to cross the abyss of
total disaster. With the lack of geo.
graphical knowledge among the Span-
ish people, if the Madrid cabinet should
say,
modification of the proposals as first
presented, the Americans were glad to
yield what we asked for the sake of
making peace," it would help Madrid
1 out of a bad place and it would not do
‘Washington any hurt, and .the Ladrone
feature of the peace terms could be
used for the purpose of conceding the
“important modificati-f’on and afford-
ing Madrid a cue for harmless but per,-
Ihaps necessary dramatics.
Spain Accepts
London, Aug. 3.—The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: “The
government has accepted the principle
, of the American conditions, but the ac-
Tceptance will not be made public until
Tinqui-ries to Washington on matters of
detail have been settled, thus rounding
- off the preliminary basis.”
The Gibraltar correspondent of the
T Daily News, telegraphing Monday eve-
ning, says: “The censorship is daily
becoming more severe, and little is
known beyond the fact that peace is
assured. It is understood that the note
from America asks only part of the
Philippines, and that, Senor Sagasta
having replied that the terms will be
accepted, hostilities are consequently
. suspended.
President Has Not Received Acceptance
Washington, Aug. ‘ 3.-—(Special.)-—At
11.30 last nigh-t a member of the ca'bi-
net who had just left the president said
that not a word had .been received of
the Spanish acceptance of the peace
terms of the United States, which Lon-
don announces is a fact.
The United States Will Settle.
Washington, Aug. 3.——It is understood
to be the present intention of the ad-
ministration to 'assume liability for all
' the indebted claims preferred by Amer-
ican citizens against Spain on account
‘ of injury to personal property in'Cuba.
Some part of this liability may be im-
posed upon the government of Cuba
later on, when that shall have been es-
tablished, and may include such cases
as can be directly charged'up against
the insurgents, where they have dc~
stroyed the property of American citi-
zens in the course of their operations.
Fa ial M'ine Explosion.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 3.——Five men

ChIickamauga, Chattanooga National
Military Camp, Tenn., Aug. 2.-The de-
parture of General Wade leaves Briga-
. dier General R. T. Frank in command
of Camp Thomas, pending the arrival
of General Breckinridge, who has been
assigned to the command. It is under-
stood here that General Wade is to

fifteen regiments from states that have
the least representation at the front.
Men and officers from the various reg-
iments at Camp Thomas are in a state
of anxiety, and will continue so until
it is known who will go.
The present indications are that the
next troops to go will b . from the Third
Corps. Powerful influences have been
brought to bear lately upon the pres!-
dent and the war 'department in behalf

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn,
Senator Proctor of Vermont, Congress-
man Benton McMillan of Tennessee and
prominent representatives of New

The brigade is mustered to its max-
imum, is fully equipped and splendidly
drilled. The states represented have
no very considerable representation at
the front as yet.
Senator Proctor has telegraphed the
First Vermont that it would assuredly
be included in the very first move-

The 'v’l‘rxas Receives an Ovation.
New York, Aug. 2.——The United
States battleship Texas, once spoken of
disparagingly as the "hoodoo of the
navy,” but now nicknamed in the ser«
vice “the fighting Texas," for the lead-
ing part she took in the naval battle
ending in the destruction of Cervera's
fleet, is anchored at the Brooklyn navy
yard, where she is to undergo repairs
and dry docking that will keep her here
about a week. The Texas arrived at
this port early Sunday morning, com-
ing direct from the scene of her naval
triumph at Santiago de Cuba, which
she left about a week ago. The bat-
tleship made a short stop at the naval
anchorage at Tompkinsville S. I., and
shortly before noon she proceeded to
the navy yard, and was made fast to
the Cob dock, directly opposite the
cruiser Chicago, where she now lies.
Her trip up the East river and
through the shipping in the lower bay
was in the nature of a triumphal pm-
cession and there was not a man, wo-
man or child who sighted 'her leaden
colored hull, with the Stars and Stripes
floating gayly from her Itern, making a
most beautiful and impressive picture,
who did not cheer the gallant tars who
lined her sides and gazed again at the
familiar sights of the harbor, so sharply
in contrast to the tropical ports lately
visited by the ship. All the shipping
in the river, as well as the crowds that
lined the shore, and the big bridge,
joined in celebrating the arrival of the
warship, and from the big Atlantic lin-
ers, tramp steamers, sailing craft and
coasters. down to the little fussy tugs,
every vessel gave her a salute in the
shape of a long, shrill, regular New
Year’s eve sort of a blast from her
steam siren. In the case of the sailing
vessels, the entire crews manned the
sides and cheered and waved their
hands and hats as long as the Texas
was in sight.
The morning excursion boat passen-
gers, however, had the best of it, as
they had the satisfaction ofan extra
attraction, without extra cost, in the
shape of “a real battleship just back
from taking part in a real battle," as
one of the crew but it laughingly yes—
terday morning. The boats going to
Coney Island and Rockaway turned out
of their way to give the passengers a
view of the Texas anchored at Tomp-
kinsville, and the passengers crowded
to the sides in such numbers in order
to get a view that it seemed as if sev-
eral of the boats must turn turtle.
A number of the crew of the Texas
were given shore leave Sunday, but
early yesterday morning all hands got
back to business again and were kept
at work lightening ship.
The Texas is so heavy tfflt without
lightening her there is some danger
that she might be injured while cross-
ing the side of the dry dock.
In consequence, all of her ammuni-
tionand most of her coal will be taken
out, and with these hundreds of tons
out of the ship she will be rapidly fioat-
ed into the timber dry dock No. 2,
which has been prepared for her re-
cepztion.
She expects to enter the dock early
this morning, but Captain Phillips said
yesterday morning that if the work of
lightening her was completed in «time
she would go in last night.
Transports to Porto Rico.
Washington, Aug. 2.—The quarter-
master’s department has received or—
ders to get ready as Soon as possible
the transports Alamo, Leona, Rio
Grande, Concha, Minnewaska and Man-
itoba, which are to be sent to Newport
News to take General Grant’s division
to Porto Rico.
The Mi-nnewaska was to have taken
the First regiment of New York volun-
teers, the engineers, to Porto Rico, but
owing to her horse carrying capacity it
was decided to send her to Newport
News.
The engineers will go Thursday on
the Chester. It is thought the Mani-
toba will sail to- night.

Situation at Newport.
Norfolk, Va, Aug. 3.-General Grant's
brigade of nearly 4,000 men encamped
at Newport, is getting restless. Sick-
ness, too, has broken out among the
troops, and several men are sent to
the field hospital at Fort Monroe ev—
ery day. Several typhoid and malarial
fLVeIr patients were removed to the
hospital to-day and :there are many
cases of- mumps and measles. Three
patients were sent away from the One
Hundred and Sixtiet‘h Indiana, nine
from the First Kentucky and forty
from the Third Kentucky. The delay
in starting to Porto Rico is due to the
absence of the transports, the Hudson
being the only one here at present.
Large amounts of stores, clothing and
ammunition were sent from the com-
missary department at Norfolk yester-
day from Newport Netvs; but will have
to lie there until the transports ar-

Must Know the Reason Why.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 3.—Geneml
Shatter has been officially called down
by the secretary of war for his con-
duct in permitting our troops to be sent
home from Santiago in vessels that
were not in fit condition [to convey them
home, vessels inadequately supplied
with the necessities of life, without
pure water and without medicines or
suflclent medical attendance.
General Corbin said last night: “I
have done everything in my power .to
have the sick soldiers brought home as
they should have been and I have been
greatly distressed at the reports of the
conditions of things on the Seneca and
Concho.
“Matters reached a climax last eve-
ning,” continued General Corbin, “when
the secretary of war sent an official dis-
patch to General Shafter informing
him of the reports here as to the, con-
dition of the Concho and the sick .sol-
diets on this vessel, and telling him that
he would have to be prepared to an—
swer for himself any criticisms that
might arise and vindicate his cause at
the end of the line. General Shatter
was also ordered not to perm-it any
sick soldiers in the future to be brought
to this country except on vessels suita-
ble for their conveyance, and that here-
after-all such ships must be provided
with all the necessaries in the way of
food supplies and medicines and be in
charge of a commissioned officer and a
regular army surgeon.”
Allotment of Bonds.
Washington, Aug. 3.—It was learned
yesterday at the treasury department
that there is now little doubt that sub-
scriptions‘ for war revenue bonds, '
ranging in amount from $2,500 to $3,500.
will be allotted. This will be good news
to the subscribers, who, while they do
not come underfthe head of small “sub-
scribers, who :took amounts ranging
from $50 to 3100, do not represent the
banking interests. It was believed, not
long ago, that allotments of $5,000
would be made, afterward this amount
was reduced to $4,500, and now a still
further reduction is made.
It is not believed that any subscrip-
tion over $3,500 will be rewarded with
an allotment of bonds.

London, July 30.—The inhabitants of
the Philippine islands have called upon
the American plus for aid in directing
public opinion to support the plan for
