At the Cabinet Meeting.
Washington. D. C., July 26. — When
the cabinet assembled at 11 o’clock to
day, Secretaries Alger and Long both
announced that they had received no
dispatches from the Porto Rican ex
pedition. Genera! Algor Is especially ex
acting to hear from General Miles, ond
Is much disappointed that no word has
come from him us to the landing, from
the reports which have been transmit
ted through the Associated Press.
Secretary Long is also keenly expec
tant of advices from that quarter.
Referring to the expedition of Com
modore Wot son to tlw Spanish roast,
Mr. Long said that there is nothing
netv in regard to the project.
•’lt Is surely going, Is It not?" he was
asked. ~ _
“It is watting orders from the Presi
dent,” was the reply.
Mr. Long, however, noticeably re
frained from directly answering the
question. . , .
Mr. Day stated that there had been
no change in the pence outlook, c.nd,
so far as he knew, the administration
had no information of the reported
peace note which the Spanish are quo
ted as framing, ft Is said that there
"has been no overtures of peace brought
to his attention.
Washington, July 26. —Gen. Fitxhugh

Washington, July 26.—Orders were

that be send them. In return, a like
number of Internal revenue stomps.
Now, Postmaster Stalll-igs can no
more exchange the letter stamps for the
revenue stamps than any other person
who was not connected with the gov

Does Postmaster Stallings keep the
stamp sent?
Not a bit of it.
He proceeds to tak" one of them,
and stomps the envelope In which he
sends bark the remaining ones.
Numerous letters are also received by
Collector Rucker, In Atlanta, from
postmasters In his district, asking that
they be made bonded agents to sell ad

them that such was "no go.”

London, July 26.— The papers here
continue to confound Miss Jessie Schley

Miss Shofter is requested to leave

As to Porto kko.
“It did not require the recently ls
| sued semi-official statement to make
! elear the position of this country with
! regard to Porto Rico. From the very
I first it has been clearly understwid
j that It was the purpose of the Presi
dent and his advise r* to lake Porto
Rico end hold it as .American, territory.
Primarily the idta was to take this
valuahlo little island as part of Ihe
war Indemnity, thus making It offset
some of the expense to which ihe war
has put us, but secondarily the island
is to be held bemuse of its material
and strategic value.
"All of this is outside of th-’ deter
mination to drive Spain from this last
remaining pobtrws’.cn In the Western
hemisphere. Perhaps It should have
been cited as the first reason for in
cluding Porto Rico in the war move
mi nl. hut Just now that Is overshad
owed by the conviction that the island
is worth having In Itself, and the de
sire to possess lend I*, you know, ono
of Ihe strong distinguishing character

“That Island Is lo be held as n part
of the* possessions of the United States.
For a time, that Is until the end of the
war and until rome other method of
government is secured, it <vil be under
military government. Afterward theivs
will be adopted for It some kind of a
territorial government, baa'd probably
on some such line® as are decided upon
for Hawaii.
The Junta Snubbed.
“It is not likely that there will be
any complications with the people of
Porto Rico. For some time there has
been In existence in New York a so
called Junta, which was supposed to be
working for independence, but there is
no evidenc ethat it has represented any
large proportion of Ihe people. Indeed,
if tha evidence of those supposed to be
in the best position to know counts
for anything, the intelligent people of
the island have all the time looked to
annexation to the United States as the
best fate that could befall them. There
has been no fight for Independence,
because the people realized their In

ONLY A FEELER.
The Reports thet are Out About
Peace Propositions.
j Washington, D. C., July 2#.—The re
! ported staement fiom the Vatican
i which purports to lie terms of pence
| acceptable to Imth the Potted States
and Spain, Is si t down here as only
i ne of the many "feelers" thrown out
within th’ past two weeks, probably to
test public feeling In the United Staten
primarily, and. secondarily, to break
slowly to the mars-s of the Spanish
people the realisation of complete de
feat. a- mething of which they arc not
aware.. It Is suspected k-re that the
eordltlons named "annexation to the
United Slates of Cuba mwl rellnqulsb
men to Snafu of the Philippines,"
represent what may be now looked no
on ne the maximum concessions Spain
is willing' to make. From this point of
view, the statement is not Uiaeournv
ing. though It must be realised that the
Spafll.'i mnxlmum Is fnr below the Am
orlcnn minimum. Still there must he
some starting point for negotiations
that will. In the end, lend up to peace
and therefore public attention on these
various •‘fe"lers” Is not deprecated by
our government, though, so far. It* can
ho positively asserted thnt they have
no basic fact on this side of the Af
loat tie.

the memorable halt las of July l and -•
be said:
”1 consider myself very fortunate lo
be alive and * *ll after havmg bean on
the Bring line sine* July I. On that day
we set the ball rolling. The battle be
gan at 5:16 a m.. and lasted until 8
p m . and then 1 mas put out c*n picket
duty until 4 the next morning- Break
fast waa aerved and we were again
ordered lo do ibe firing. The soeond
da;: the fliing was something awful.
The way the shits fill made hair
Mick un. 1 never saw rain drops fall
faster ibau did the bullets that day.
The Spaniards were up on top cf a hill
nnd had trenches and blockhouse* to
protect themselves. There were eight
inrhes of crushed stones In between the
plan's* of th» blockhouses, and they
hud a number of rup d-flre gun* mount
ed on the hill, and they poured a terri
ble fire into us. We had to chr.rge up
that hill against the Spaniards with
the Infantry, and you ran Imagine what
we had lo do. The shells went whist
ling through the nir and men were fall
ing on all sloes of me, but I kept my
n ;v" up. My captain told me to fol
low tbe colors, and I did so. Ii was
oi l because 1 wanted to. for it had got
;too hot. for me, but I said to myself
ihtU if 1 was to he shol I would be any
way, and so I went ahead. I did not
lose courage, although I thought It
about time we all lust courage the way
Ihe shells wpre striking our men right
and left and we had not gained an inch
and the Spanish were holding 'tffiir
!cwn. One of our commanding officers
I told us we must charge up the hill sn3
drive them cut. After four r.'Tmpts
w" reached Ihe top of the hill. \Yhen
: we got lhere the Spanish wore .p.led
four and five deep in the trenches. Tho
! Spanish fled and we remained />r tho
'night where ’hey had been. We eap
i lured forty-eight prisoners. The mm
| puny was detailed to take the prlson-
I I rs back to Siboney, and we did not
'get (here until July 4. There lias .been
■no fighting since. I stWi on the firing
I line when Lieut. Hobson was ex
-1 changed nnd passed through the lines.
You ought to have heard the shouting
then.”
