The Conquest of Porto Rico Pro-
ceeds Very Smoothly.
A SLIGHT FIGHT REPORTED
The Krag-—Jongensen {Rifles Are Being
Distributed. Army Will Move on San
Juan by Two Ways. The Surrender of
Guayama. Three Americans Slightlly
Wounded and Several Spaniards Shot.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Saturday, via St.
Thomas, D. W. 1., Sunday—The troops
are moving forward. General Wilson’s
headquarters have gone to the front.
The cavalry and artillery follow.
Most of the rations and equipments
have been landed.
Several reconnoitreing parties of the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania were fired up-
on by Spanish pickets to—day, but were
uninjured.
Krag-Jorgcnsen rifles to arm the vol-
unteers have arrived and are being
distributed as rapidly as possible.
General Guy V. Henry commands a
separate expedition and our troops will
move on San Juan by two ways.
While rcconnoitreing near Coama
last night Major Flaglcr was fired up-
on by Spanish pickets. Thirty shots
were fired, but without effect.
Later particulars show that the cap-
ture of Guayama by General Hains
was accomplished after a sharp skir-
mish outside the town with four hun-
dred Spaniards, in which three Amer—
icans were wounded.
Our men had to fight their way
through Spanish bullets in order to get
into the town, and they were forced to
repel an attack made by the Span-
iards soon after the town had fallen.
This they did with marked success.
All of the three Americans who
were wounded in the skirmish before
Guayama are privates in the Fourth
Ohio regiment. John O. Cordner of
Company C, was shot in the right leg
below the knee; C. “W. Riffee of Com-
pany A was shot through both thighs
and W. Walcott of Company D was
injured in the foot. None of the men
is dangerously hurt. One dead Span-
iard and two
found by our men.
What other casualties the enemy had.
The Fourth Ohio, Colonel Colt, and
the Third Illinois. Colonel Bennitt,
with two dynamite guns. all under the
command of General Hains, composed
the expedition that moved out on the
wounded have been!
It is not knownI
Guayama road from Arroyo at eight:
o’clock in the morning. General Hains
ordered his men to advance cautiously
and their progress was slow.
When the Americans had reached a
point about three miles from Arroyo
they were viciously attacked on both
their right. and left flanks. Colonel
Coit’s Ohio troops, who were leading
the advance, were splendidly handled
and did splendid work against the en-
emy. The Spaniards for a time man-
aged to conceal tncmsclves behind bar-
ricades, but the Americans soon got
at them and poured :1. terrific fire in
their direction.
It was impossible for the Spaniards
long to withstand this fire, and they
soon retreated.
As the American troops entered the
town they found It practically de-
serted. All of the houses had been
closed and the Ohio regiment raised
its colors over the town ball.
A crowd of citizens soon gathered
about the invading troops and wel-
comed them with enthusiasm.
While this demonstration was under
way‘the Spaniards returned, making a
heavy attack onthe town from the
norfh. The Fourth Ohio was sent out
to engage the enemy and a hot fight
between the two bodies of troops took
place during the next two hours. Two
dynamite guns finally were put in po-
sition by the Americans and five shots
were fired. These completely silenced
the enemy, and our men are now hold-
ing the town securely.
General Hains has been very con-
siderate in his treatment of his men
and has matters here well in hand. He
says he does not need reinforcements
at'present in order to retain the ad-
vantages gained in the day’s opera-
tions.
The conduct of the Ohio men under
fire was admirable. When the first
attack came they displayed no evi-
dence of nervousness. Being armed
with Krag-Jorgensens, they consider-
ed themselves a match for the Span-
iards. -~ ' --
The dynamite battery, in charge of
Captain Totter, Company F, Fourth
Ohio, did excellent service.
United States Consul Hanna has re-
ceived Information that the foreign
consuls at San Juan, the capital of
Porto Rico, advised the Spanish au-
thorities to surrender the island to the
American troops. The Spaniards, how-
ever, ln reply. announced that they
had resolved to fight. Thereupon the
consuls notified the Spanish comman-
der, Captain General Macias, that they
would establish a neutral zone be-
tween Bayamon and Rio Piedras in
which to gather the foreign residents
and their portable property, in order
to insure their safety in the event of
a bombardment of the place by the
American forces. I
The consuls sent a similar notifica-
tion to General Miles. In spite of this
brave talk, it is understood that the
Spanish oificers of minor rank have
refused to fight or lmperil their lives
in defence of San Juan.

ARM-Y MOVEMENTS ON THE PACIFIC.
Two Transports “'itli Volunteers Sail
from San Francisco for Honolulu.
San Francisco, Aug. 8.-—The trans-
port. steamers Lakme and Charles G.
Nelson, bearing five companies of the
First New York volunteers and the
Second United States volunteer engin-
eers, sailed for Honolulu Saturday.
The ship Tacoma, with horses and
mules for the Philippines, for the use
of the United States forces, started
.’:r Manila, but later was detained in
Le harbor for a few necessary re-
‘lll‘S.
Colonel J. C. Loper in command of
he Fiftyfirst Iowa volunteers, has re-
ceived a telegram from Congressman
Hull of that state advising him that
his regiment certainly would be sent
to Manila. As soon as the news was
communicated to his command the
band paraded through the streets of
the camp.
The ships'of the first transport fleet
to Manila are expected to return in
about ten days, and, with the Scandia
and Arizona, will form the second ex-
pedition for Manila, which is to be in
commandof Brigadier General King.
The Scandia and the Arizona will take
the Seventh Arizona regiment, two
battalions of the Eighteenth and 23rd
regiments and 900 recruits for the rig-
iments which-have departed. Before
September 15 all of the troops in
camp here probably will have been
dispatched to Manila. for, with the re-
turn of the first transport fleet and its
second departure, the'bulk of the men
in camp will be taken care of.
The second fleet probably will return
before the end of August. and these
ships, consisting of the China, Colon,
Zealandia and Senator. will more than
suffice to take the troops remaining in
camp after the Australia, Pekin and
Sydney have sailed.

No Change in Regard to Sending Wade’l
Army to Porto Rico. Fresh Meat to Be
Sent the Army ' Regularly Hereafter.
Troops Will Be Detained Before Enter-
ing Montauk Camp.
Washington, Aug. 8.—No change
has been made in the plan of the gov-
ernment to send General Wade’s ar-
my to Porto Rico. Although this ar-
my is to be sent to Porto Rico largely
for political purposes, it may he that
the men will be needed. At any rate
when the troops return to the United
States they will be seasoned veterans,
and will make good material from
which to draw if it is decided to in-
crease the size of the regular standing
army.
The steamer Mohawk, loaded with
fresh beef for the army, hasreached
Porto Rico. From this time on vessels
will leave the United States each week
for Porto Rico, with fresh provisions
for the army commanded by General
Miles:
Adjutant General Corbin says that
the first large detachment of the San-
tiago army will reach Montauk Point
this week. All the troops will be held
at the detention camps for about two
weeks before being allowed to go to
the regular camp at Montauk Point.
Adjutant General Corbin has cabled
General Shafter to direct all the tran-
sports bringing troops to the United
States to go directly to Fort Pom bay,
Montauk, L. I. They will be unguided
at that place; The United States stea-
mers Resolute, St. Paul and St. Louis
have been but at the disposal of Gen-
eral Shaffer. He has been especially
instructed to take every precaution to
prevent yellow fevor from getting on
the St. Paul and St. Louis.
lute is now in Santiago bay and can
be used immediately.
General Shaffer in a cablegram to
Adjutant General Corbin says: “I
think five immune regiments a suffi-
cient garrison for‘the cities of Santia-
go, San Luis, Guantanamo and the
other towns on the north~ coast which
were surrendered.”
General Shafter in this same dis-
patch strongly recommends that Gen-
eral Wood be left in command of the
forces at Santiago. He says that the
Spanish prisoners are longing for the
arrival of the vessels which will take
them to Spain.
“The prisoners,’ said General Shaf-
ter, “are the most orderly, tractable
and generally best behaved me: I've
ever seen.”
General Shaffer has taken posses-
sion of all money and stamps in the
branch bank of Spain at Santiago. In
the bank there were $25,000 worth of
Spanish bank notes and $45,000 worth
of stamps. He has been directed to
hold this money subject to orders fro-m
Washington. .
This cable message was sent yes-
terday to General Miles by the adju-
tant general: “A part of General
Grant’s brigade sailed from Newport
News yesterday. 1,300 more will sail
to-morrow. The secretary of war de-
sires an early report of how many
troops, if any, you require to prosecute
the campaign in Porto Rico. He wish-
es lo hurry forward every man you
require, but no more than you need.
CORBIN.”
General Grant has been directed to
go today. in person to Porto Rico. He
will sail on the Obdam, which will
carry the 1,300 additional troops men-
tioned by General Corbin in his dis-
patch.
Secretary Alger has authorized Ma-
jor General Breckinridge to expend
$20,000 for sanitary measures at Chic-
kamauga.
First Sergeant William J. Bishop, of
Company C of the Third New Jersey
volunteer infantry, has been commis-
sioned by the president as a captain
in the Eighth United States volunteer
infantry.
The Spanish Poisoners.
Washington, Aug. 8.—The war de-
partment looks for the arrival of the
first ship to carry Spanish prisoners
from Santiago at that point to-day.
Thiswill be the Alicante, which left
Martinique two days ago. The St.
Augustine is expected to reach Santi-
ago on August 14. She is a hospital
ship and will relieve the distress ex-
isting in the Spanish hospitals. \Vith-
in the next week the department hopes
to see the embarkation of Spanish pri-
soners well under way.
