Pori Guanica. Island off Porto Rico, July
25, via St. Thomas, July 26 -The United
States military expedition Vhlch left
Guantanamo on Thursday landed here
sueee-Sfully today aft. r a skirmish with
the Spanish troops. No Americans were
killed.
The skirmish occurred between a <k
taehnunt of the Spanish army and a crew
of thirty belonging to a launch from the
auxiliary cruiser Gloucester, formerly J
Pierpont Morgan's "Cors .Alar.”
b’our Spaniards were killed out. No
Americans were hurt.
Our troops pushed forward promptly to
eff.ct the capture of the railroad leading
to Pome, which is only ten miles from
here.
MILES CHANGED HIS PLANS.
At the Last Moment but Secured a Good Pt
sition.
Washington, July 26 The government
is waiting to receive confirmation of the
reported debarkation of Miles' troops.
The war department did not expect to
tn ar of'Miles’ landing near Ponce as men
tioned in the newspaper dispatches, but
admitted that Miles is master of his own
movements and it is entirely conceivable
that he acquired information since the
original plans were formed for the cam
pnign against Porto Rico that led him to
modify them at the mom. n: when they
were to be put into execution.
While the distance from Ponce to San
Juan is much greater than from the point
originally selected for landing. There is.
according to the military charts, a splendid
fourteen foot macadamized road leading
directly across the island to San Juan.
Such a road as this would be very little
affected by the torrental rains at this sea
son so it might be possible for our troops,
accompanied by field artillery, to make
the march across the seventv miles be
tween Ponce and San Juan in less time
than would be required to cover i much
shorter distance between the capital and
some other points named as the landing
place.

Washington. July 26—When the cabinet

.Alger and Long both announced that they

Algor was especially expecting to hear
fio.u .Miles and is much disappointed that
no word came from him as to the landing

Long is also keenly < xpectant of advices
from that quarter. Referring to the ex
pedition of Watson to the Spanish coast.
Long said there was nothing new with re
gard to the project.
"It is surely going is it not?” he was
asked.
‘ L is waiting orders from the presi

Long, however, noticeably refrained from
dir.itly answering the question.
Secretary Pay stated that there had
been no change in the peace outlook and
so far as he knew the administration bad
no information of the reported peace note
the Spanish are quoted as framing, 't is
said there have bt-en no overtures for
peace brought to his attention.

j .Mr. J H. .McKenney, clerk of the su

I ten a letter to Mr. H. H. King, clerk of
t the United States court in this city, stat
' ing that section 30 of the new United

; tion 30 of the new United States bankrupt
I ey law states that all rules, etc., for the

not be in session until October 16. There
has been on action by the court upon the
new rules, the letter states.
The fact that the supreme court has not
acted upon the law will not, however, pre
vent the recently appointed referees in
bankruptcy from going ahead and attending
to business. It has been decided upon
pr°tty good authority that they can pro
ceed and file affidavits of what has been

such a procedure can be had.

RUSH IS OVER.
War Has Simmered Down to Meagre Pro
portions.
Washington. July 26 —So far as our
war with Spain is concerned, the rush is
over. Nothing yet remains.to be done ex
cept the work of occupation. With Cuba,
Puerto Rican and Philippine waters swept
clean of Spanish warships, and with our
! incomparable superiority in machine guns,
ammunition and equipment of every kind,
the work of occupation is an easy task.
Even the capture of Havana Is no great
task if we shall take our time and prop
erly use our tremendous superiorities. In
i the present situation it is a matter of
small consequence to the United States
what Spain thinks about peace. Deprived
; of sea power, she can but sit in her fort
ressed peninsula and shake impotent fists
and look fierce at her enemies, thousands
of mites away over the sea.

THE NEWS.
SUNK SANDOVAL
IN THE HARBOR
Gross Violation of the Terms
of Surrender bv the
HOLGUIN MOST SUBRENDER.
It is an Important Point on the Is
land and Its Capture Will Be
a Strategic Event.
Guantanamo Bay, Santiago, July 26—The
Spaniards have sunk the Spanish gunboat
Sandoval which has been lying near Gai
mantra. This is looked uixin as a grots
breach of the terms of surrender which
the Spaniards had knowledge of.
It is difficult to see how the body o f
Spanish troops at Holguin can fail to sur
render soon although reinforced by the
Spanish forces at Gibrara.
Holguin is one of the commanding
points in eastern Cuba and the surrender
of its garrison will be an important event
in the war.
News from there is expected shortly.
The main body of the fleet here is clean
ing up. The Texas will leave for New York
shortly in order to undergo repairs. The
movement of the other ships under Samp
son’s command depend upon the decisions
of the authorities at Washington and the
impression is growing among naval offi
cers of high rank iu these waters that it. is
not advisable to send the fleet to Spain
without previously enabling the ships to
undergo a thorough preparation.
PUERTO RICO
NEVER TAKEN.
Twice Attacked by England
But Spaniards Beat
Her Off.
Washington, July 26 —Puerto Rico has
never been taken. It .has had the storm
for ally, fever, too. Twice England at
tacked it. The Spaniards beat her oft'.
Once they beat the Dutch.
But, though the island has never been
taken, the island has been sacked. It took
pirates to do it, though. The first was a
choice person named Drake. Accounts of
the adventure differ, but they agree in
this: His marines were dressed in silk, his
ships were rigged with damask, his top
sails were cloths of gold. They were as
beautifully equipped. They carried basi
lisks, culverins, serpentines and bom
bardes. The latter the old prints describe
as mortar pieeis furnished with hollow
shot "stuffed with fyre-work” the smallest
part whereof hitting a man being guaran
teed to spoil him. More effective for cara
vels and caracks than Camara’s cheipicals,
they were first used for shelling purposes
just 310 years ago. It was a little later
that Drake appeared with them in the
harbor of San Juan. When he left the town
was in ruins and his ballast was decatoons.
Drake had Elizabeth behind him. Cumber
land,who followed him there, was an
equally choice, but an entirely private
corsair. What he did was on his ov.u
hook. What he lacked was the steady gale
of good fortune which his colleague en
joyed.
Though he took San Juan, fever took his
men. Thereat suspecting, as an ancient
chronicler naively relates, “that the Span
ish had some treacherous design on foot.”
he broke away with hut a pea"! chest for
a souvenir. Since then .the island has
withstood the attacks of three distinct
flotillas. There is luck in odd numbers.
Now for the change.

Insubordination at the Guard
House at Camp Price
Last Night.
The three men who are held at Camp
Price and who were at first supposed to be
deserters, threatened to tear down the
guard house at the park and were put in
irons.
It seems that they were not satisfied
with the food wiich was sent them and
they threw it out of the window.
The sergeant of tbe guard immediately
reported their act to Colonel Ray, who
came to see what the prisoners were do
ing.
When he arrived he asked them what
was the matter with the food which had
been sent them and the men said that they
did not like it and would not eat it.
Colonel Ray told them that if they '’id
not eat what was sent them that they
would get nothing at all. He turned to
go out when one of the men cursed hiip
and threatened to “run off with the guard
house.”
Colonel Ray ordered all three of the men
put in chains and gave the guards orders
to shoot them if they made any attempt
to move.
The men were put to work this morning
cleaning up about camp and when a News
reporter passed the guard house one of
them who was tied up was singing “We
are natural born kickers and won’t eat
beans.”
One of the men said that they had noth
ing but beans since they had been here
and were determined not to eat any more
of them.
There is some talk of courtmartialing
the men for insubordination but it is
thought that they will be sent to their
regiment today.
COTTON IN GOOD SHAPE.
Farmers Out in the Warrior Report on Their
Cotton-
Mr. Sam B. Causey. Jr., of Lizella, was

crops in his section are fine.
"Yes,” he said, “the crops are the finest
I ever saw in my life and I have been
been farming for twenty years. Cotton
will begin to open next month and I ex
pect that many of my neighbors will get
a bale by the 10th of next month.
I have never seen 4 better .fruit crop and
if my neighbors were near a railroad they

will make enough corn this year. For the

OF PHILOSOPHY.
Rev. Josiah B. Game, of South
Carolina Will Come to
Wesleyan,
At a meeting of the board of trustees of
(Wesleyan College last night Rev. Josiah
B. Game, president of Cooksburg College,
South Carolina, was elected to succeed
Professor (Browder as professor of philos
ophy at Wesleyan.
It had been practically decided before the
meeting that Rev. Mr. Game would be elec
ted, as he is regarded by the trustees as
the ablest man that could be had for the
position.
The trustees had an important conference
with Dr. Roberts, but are not yet ready to
give out their plans to the public. Dr.
Roberts left today for an extended tour
through North Georgia in the interest of
the college.
Josiah Bethea Game, A. M., M. SC. is a
native of South Carolina, age 29, married
and has a family of a wife and two chil
dren. He is a graduate of the University
of South Carolina with the degree of Mas
ter of Arts, with highest honors, and of
Erskine College, with the degree of Master
of Science, with the highest honors. Also,

Columbus, Ga., which position he resigned
in order to continue his post graduate
work in the University of South Carolina.
He is at present, rector of the Cokesbury
Conference school, one of the oldest of
Methodist schools in America. Under his
management, this school has been reju
venated, and is now, as a result of his
two years of labor, in better condition

Bishop McTyeire, Dr. J. W. Hinton, Dr
W. D. Kirkland, Generals Wallace, Ker
shaw, Capers, Gary, Governor Evans, with
hosts of other great men of the last half
century, have been prepared for their col
lege life, and where impressions for good
were made upon these and others—impres
sions which have endured.
He ;s successful in both the class room
and in looking after the minor details of
school work, canvassing and the like. He
is c-ons’dered a strong speaker, anl in this
regard will materially aid Wesleyan.
He is a Methodist minister and will
probably join the South Georgia Confer
ence within a short time.

COMMDHROUNO
On Which Negotiations for
Peace May Be Com
menced Between
Countries.
WK'S MIHM
At Present is, of Course, Very Far
Below Our Minimum, but the
Government Does Not
Object,
Washington, July 26.—There is reason to
believe at last that initial steps have been
taken for the opening of negotiations for
peace.
It is imjossible to learn any details at
this moment or to obtain confirmation.
MAXIMUM TERMS
As Proposed by Spain Are Short of Our
Minimum.
Washington, July 26. —A reported state
ment from the Vatican which purports to
be terms of peace acceptable to both the
United States and Spain, is set down here
as one of the many feelers thrown dtit
within the past two weeks, probably to
test public feeling in the United States, and
secondarily to break slowly to the masses
of the Spanish people the realization of the
complete defeat, something of which they
are not aware.
It is suspected here that the conditions
named are annexation to the United States
of Cuba and Porto Rico and the relinquish
ment to Spain of the Philippines, which
represent what may be now looaed upon as
the maximum concessions Spain is willing
to make.
From this point of view the statement
is not discouraging, though, of course, it
must be realized that the maximum is very
■far below the American minimum.
Still there must be some starting point
for the negotiations that will in the end
lead up to peace, and therefore, public at
tention to these various feelers is not dep
recated by our government, though so far
it can be positively asserted they have no
basis in fact on this side of the Atlantic.
OHIO REGIMENT
Received Orders Today to Report at
Tampa,
Washington, July 26. —Orders were is
sued today for the First and Fifth Ohio
regiments to report at Tampa prepared for
service at 'Porto Rico. Arrangements will
be made as soon as possible for their
transportation. These troops enlis-ted for
service in the Porto Rico campaign, but
were crowded out by the troops from the
southern states, which claimed priority in
selection.
MANY ARE IN
GUARD HOUSE.
Soldiers Seem to Like It—Of
ficers Are Stricter Than
Ever.
•
No drill was held at the camp yester
day afternoon on account of the rain and
on account of the men being so tired after
working all day moving the tents.
The men have more room and can sleep
more comfortably since the tents were all
moved, as they have five extra tents to
each company. The officers’ tents are now
in a very pretty place. At first many of
the officers had their tents in the sun, but
all of them are now shaded by the big
trees.
Many kicks are heard among the pri
vates about the way they are being treated.
Some of them say that they had rather
stay in the guard house than in the com
pany street.
The officers’ school is still in session and
will be continued until they become per
fect in all the evolutions of drill.
The green squads are progressing nicely.
They are handling the guns well and
soon will be able to put up a good.drill.
Guard mounting is now the most Inter
esting feature of the day, as a great deal
of interest is taken in the selection of an
orderly for the colonel.
About one hundred men are detailed for
guard mounting and out of this hundred
the man who is neatest in made orderly.
The sick men in the hospital are very
much better and will be up in a few days.
The guard house has been dubbed Sol
diers’ Comfort” and it is kept full all the
time. One private said yesterday that he
had rather stay in the guardhouse than
at home.
Captain Maddox is now in command of
Company M.
Chaplain Parker has his tent fixed up
and is now staying in camp
Services are held at the Y. M. C. A. tent
every night and much good is being ac
complished.
Regimental drill will be held this after
noon and the band will turn out at re
treat. The drill promises to be the best
one held since the regiment has been in
camp.
