Gen. Wilson Plans and Executes
a Successful Attack.
SEVEN AMERICANS HURT
Some Sharp Fighting in \Vhich the Span-
iards Bad Th :r Chief Officers Killed
and All of Their Force Captured Ex-
cept the Cavalry. Our Losses Seven
. Men Wounded, '
Coamo, Porto Rico, Aug- 9.- 12 m., via
St. Thomas, D. W. I.-—General Wilson
took the town of Coamo this morning
with a loss of only seven men wounded.
all members of the Sixteenth Pennsyl-
vania regiment.
Corporal Barnes of Company E was
mortally wounded, Corporal Varnes of
Company D and Sergeant Wishart were
slightly wounded, Private Frank Whit—
lock was struck in the groin and Pri~
vate Clyde Frank was Struck in the.
leg. Privates Jolly and Herbert Lu?
bold, both of whom were shot in the
arm, were the others wounded.
The Spanish are known to have lost
their commander, Major Yellescas, Cap-
tain Ecante, Captain Lopez and nine
privates; all killed, and to have had
35 men wounded.
The Americans captured 180 prison-
ers, practically the whole force of the
Spaniards, except the cavalry.
The capture of the town and garrison
was neatly planned and splendidly ex-
ecuted. The Sixteenth Pennsylvania
volunteers moved 'to a point off the
north of the town last night, and by a
forced march of eight miles across the
mountains, arrived at the rear of the
tovvn about seven o’clock this morning,
just in time to cut off the enemy’s re-
treat.
At daylight the Third Wisconsin and
Troop C of New York moved by the
right flank; and the artillery, support-
ed by the Second Wisconsin, advanced
in the center. The Fourth Cavalry
took up a. position from which it ,could
gallop t0 the field and sweep the valley
leading into the‘ town.
At seven o’clock fire was opened upon
the block house, which was hammered
with shot and shrapnel. The Spaniards
replied with. a few shots from their
Mausers and then fled. The block house
was soon ablaze, and the artillery fire
in front ceased at 7.45 a. m.
Almost immediately volley firing was
heard in the rear of the town. The
Spaniards, in seeking to escape ran
straight into Colonel Huling’s regiment
posted on the hills commanding the
road. The Spaniards sought protection
in trenches, but they could not with-
stand the deadly fire. With their com—
mander and two captains killed they
were compelled to surrender.
A troop of fifty Spanish cavalry es-
caped through the mountains, our cav-
alry being unable to pursue them.
The Spaniards had destroyed the
stone bridge across the river Coamo,
leading into the town, but it was evi-
dent that they were not prepared to
make a strong resistance, as no artil-
lery was posted there.
The natives recelved the Americans
with delight. GenrrafiWilson immedi-
ately after taking the town pushed the
Wisconsin troops a mile out beyond,
where they went into camp for the
night.
Spaniards Glad to Surrender.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 9, via. St.
Thomas, Aug. 10.-—'l‘here is much sur-
prise that the enenoy at Coamo did no
more damage than to wound seven of
the United States soldiers. They had
all the advantage at first sight, but
they fought punctorily and were not
sorry to surrender the town, the houses
of which were all shuttered and clos-
ed. "
Garcia is Fighting
Santiago, Aug. 10, 10 p. m.—Lieuten-
ant Colonel Jane of General Calixto
Garcia’s staff has just arrived from the
front with dispatches announcing the
occupation of Gibara, on the north
coast of the province of Santiago, by
General Garcia’s troops. '
Gibara was evacuated by the Span-
iards. They left behind 1,000 sick and
wounded, who are being taken care of
by the Cuban commander.
General Garcia, with 8,000 troops, is
besieging Holguin, now occupied by the
Spanish general Luqu-e, whose surren-
der has been demanded.
\Vashington, Aug. 11.—General Luque
commanding the Spanish garrison at
H-olguin, has offered to' surrender to
General Calixto Garcia. This surpris-
ing information was received here in
a private dispatch last night.
General Luque commanded a, corps.
He had 10,000 Spanish soldiers under
him at Holguin when the surrender
took place at Santiago. Since then his
forces have been disintegrating rapidly
hundreds going over to the side of the
Cubana
Finding himself without any hope of
relief, his soldiers being on the verge
of starvation, General Luque has sent
to General Garcia a preposition to sur-
render.
Judge Hayward N. mimued lor Governor
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11.—Senator
Thurston was made permanent chair-
‘Tnan of the Republican state conven-
tion held here yesterday. Senator
Thurston’c appearance was the signal
for applause, which became tumultu-
ous as he referred to the war and the
administration of President McKinley.
Nominations for governor brought
out the names of Judge M. C. Hayward
of Otoe county and Judge Baker of
Douglass. Judge Hayward was nom-
inated on the first formal ballot and a
recess was taken.

Montreal, Aug. 11.——Lieutenant Ray-
mon de Carranza, who was supposed

ago, in accordance with an order from
the Canadian government ‘to leave the
country, appeared here again yester-
day.

Cnrzon Accepts Viceroyalty.
London, Aug. 11.—Mr. Balfour yester-
day, in the House

MORE MEN FOR MERRITT.
Ben. Merriam Ordered to Send 10,000
ll'Ieu to/lhe Philippines
Washington, Aug. 11.-—-The war de—
partment will for some time to come
continue the dispatch of troops to re-
inforce General Merrit't’s command in
the Philippines, unless some develop-
ments in the peace negotiations shall
cause a. change of policy.
Orders have been sent to General
Merriam, commanding the department
of the Pacific, directing .him to embark
as soon as transportation can be pro-
vided 10,000 more troops to reinforce
General Merritt. g
This will increase the force now in
the islands or already on the way to
about 30,000 men. This Is all'that will
be done at present to comply with Gen-
eral Merritt’s request for an army of
50,000.
The 10,000 men which are to be sent
are now on the Pacific coast.
The Arizona, one of the largest and
best ships chartered by the war de-,
partment, will leave San Francisco for
Manila. the last of this week, carrying
a regiment of troops and 'a quantity
of supplies of various kinds. Next week
the Scandia, a ship capable of carry-
ing 1,900 men, will leave for the same
destination loaded to her full capacity.
Within a few days the vessels which
carried the first detachment of troops
to Manila will be due in San Francisco,
and it is said at the war department
that these ships will start as soon as
possible with another armed expedition
for the Orient.

‘.'l'ill Bombard Cartagena.
Washington, Aug. 11.--The Italian
government has informed the state de-
partment (that Colombia will be requir-
ed to comply with every provision of
the award in the Cerruti case.

Cerruti, whose claims may be prov-
ed. ‘

in his power to settle the controversy
amicably.

Straw Sewing.
Draft-handed women. find that it pays

The WCl’zlui who learns saves
many a penny by making her own hats.
The hand-sewed hats with lined rims,
if made in the fashionable designs, are
always expensive. There are no mark-
cd-down sales‘ of them until they be-
come cheap by being out of date. It
Is here that the amateur straw-sewer
finds a chance for thrift. For a few
cents she can pick up a hat sewed in an
old season’s style, and with this supply
of braid she can quickly resew it in any
shape she elects.
Insect Steed Ridden by Insects.
At a recent meeting of the Entomol-

Ipecimens of chrysopa, a species of
golden-eyed fly, which had been col-
.ected in the White Mountains, were
exhibited as curiosities, because each
:arried on its back one or more min-
Ite cecidomylid flies, The opinion was
expressed that this was a true case of

PRICE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|, IBQB...
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of th’eéxlondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
_ To this Company he has transferred placer clains on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “ Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondikc,"and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from 8140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
