The mayor made a speech In which he raid that the day of deliverance for |*< rto Rican* had come. Crowde fol lowed the soldier* everywhere and the Americans could baldly get away from them. They Insisted on taking our men into their hr us?* and giving them feeatr aucb a* no Invading army ever saw. The beet they had waa none too good for the humblest private. The mayor made another speech of welcome at the public square w here the people shouted "Down with Spain 1” and “Viva live Americanos!” etc. The American* hardly know what Spanish soldiers look Hire. The mayors of four other towns have visited Ponce and told General Wilson that the people of their town* ar* glnl to be Americans. Their towns had *ur remierr ’ and they were ready to turn over everything to the American* and have American officials appointed. Spaniards Tied Word wa* received from other towns that had not been visited by the sol diers and consequently had not formal ly surrendered, but th- people and of ficials heard of the landing of the Am ericans and bad hoisted the American flag at cnee and kept it hoisted ever since, driving out the Spaniards from towns where the soldiers were station ed. Th™ people in these towns report that the Spanish soldiers lied irf fright ss they did from Ponce. The Spaniards took the military road going toward San Juan. Spanish Citizens. When the American soldiers arrived here the Spanish citizens were natural ly alarmed, and many of them fled with the Spanish soldiers and went to the mountains. They began returning on Sunday and ore all nearly back today. The first thing they did when they got back was to begin shouting "viva los Americanos!" They are aparen.'ly good Americans, but the Porto Ricans do not trust them. They say they will watch for the first sign of disloyalty on their part and shoot them or turn them over to the American soldiers. Don’t Talk. Returning Spaniards profess not to know the whereabouts of the troops that fled with them. They say the sol diers ran so fast that they were unable to keep up with them. Kven these Spaniards are genuinely glad at the change in the local government which has hern made by General Wilson, par ticularly in the courts. ..! ehi.

Les ser and Ihe Red Cross nurses there would probably have b.-en over fifty deaths on board. Of course it was known Santiago that we were short of medical supplies, but they were short themselves and gave us what they could." Col. Charles C. Byrn-e, chief medical officer of the Department of the East, and stationed at Governor's island, said yesterday that he had not received any instructions to investigate? the Concho and Alamo affairs, nnd that whatever Investigation there might be would be made from Washington. "I went through the Concho,” said Col. Byrne, “and found that she was not fitted as o hospital ship. The food on board was not of the kind that In valids could eat. I asked Dr. Lessor why he did not get enough supplies, and b«? replied that he could not get them, lie said there were plenty down there, but he could not get them. The responsibility for not fitting these ships out properly would rest upon the hospital department.” None of the suffering enlisted in-n who came from Cuba on the “horror ship" Concho have yet been released from quarantine. One hundred and twenty-five of the men have been re moved to Hoffman’s Island, where they will bo thoroughly disinfected. After that there is no certainty that they will he allowed -to land.

They have about one hundred men on the roll, but as probably not more than fifty would come up for examination, and as it Is necessary to have a body of seventy-five men examined at one time, before lit" Second lieutenant may be sworn In, the postponement was de cided upon.

About ten o’clock Mon day morning Mr. ohnson was seen to leave his house with a gun, saying he was going to kill a rabbit for dinner. He went into the river swamp and shortly afterwards hi« family heard the report of the gun, hut thought nothing of it. Johnson, not coining back for dinner, a search was Instituted. He was found dead on the river bank with a large wound in his right breast. The idiot ranged upward, tearing the right lung to pieces. The gun was sticking in the mud near by. Coroner Green was summoned and an inquest was held, the verdict of which was that. Johnson came ip his death by a gun shot wound inll,cted by party or par ties unknown to“he jury.
