PRINTING!
You can make money without Printing, but it is
hard. You can do business with badly set Billheads
and old-fashioned,-rubber-stamp-looking letterheads
and business cards—but you won’t—you can’t af¬
ford it—good work is cheap enough. We will set
your commercial work for you in the highest style of
the art of simplicity—something to give distinctive¬
ness to your letterheads, billheads, cards, etc., and
we’ll do the press work equally as well.
We have all the new faces of type and employ
only expert workmen in our job department.
No matter where you are we can give you a
neat notehead or envelope at $2 per 1,000. We
have higher priced goods.
Our prices are right on everything in our
and we do a general printing business.

RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news-all the news—and tells the truth
-about it.
It is the only American outside ’
newspaper New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world.
Its war news service is unapproachably the best. > N
Says the Urbana (Ill.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true.”

2 P; the Is-

States military
expedition under the command of
Major General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the army of the Unit¬
ed States, which left Guantanamo
during the evening of Thursday
last, was landed here successfully
today after a skirmish between a
detachment of the Spanish troops
and a crew of thirty belonging to
the launch of the United States
auxiliary gunboat Glouchester.
Four of the Spanish were killed,
but no Americans were hurt. The
troops were pushed forward
promptly in order to capture the
railroad leading to Ponce, which is
only about ten miles of this place.
From Ponce there is an excellent
military road running eighty-five
miles north to San Juan. The
whole of General Brook’s force,
with the New Orleans, Annapolis
Cincinnati, Leyden and Wasp,
are expected here within twenty-
four hours.
The ships left Guantanamo bay
suddenly on Thursday evening with
the Massachusetts, commanded by
Captain F. J. Higginson, landing.
Captain Higginson was in charge
of the naval expedition, which con-
sisted, in addition to the Massachu-
setts, the Columbia, Dixie, Glou¬
chester and Yale. General Miles
was on board the last named vessel
The troops were on board the trans¬
ports Nueces,Lampasas,Comanche,
Rita, Unionist, Stillwater, City of
Macon and Specialist. This was
the order in which the Transports
entered the harbor here.
MILES SUDDENLY CHANGES HIS
PLANS.
At noon yesterday General Miles
called a consultation, announcing
that he was determined not to go
by San Juan cape but by the Mona
passage instead, land here, surprise
the Spaniards and deceive their
military authorities. The course
was then changed and the Dixie
was then sent north to warn Gen-
eral Brooks at Cape San Juan.
Port Guanica has been fully de¬
scribed by Lieutenant Whitney, of
General Miles staff, who recently
made an adventurous tour at Porto
Rico.
Ponce which is situated ten or
fifteen miles from this port, is to
the eastward and a harder place to
take. In addition, the water at
Ponce is too shallow for the trans-
ports to be able to get close to shore,
Then again, at Ponce, the woods
a little dense w here the troops
wou i d have been obliged to land if
that oint had beeil selected for the
deburkation f the expe dition.
One advantage of this place is
that it is situated close to the rail-
road connecting with Ponce, which
means of transportation of our
troops hope to secure today. Early
this morning the Glouchester, i 1
charge of Lieutenant Commanck r
Wainwright ' iuanica
step—
harbor in order to reconnoiter the
place.
\\ ith the fleet waiting outside,
the gallant little yatch braved the
mines which were supposed to be
in this harbor and found that there
were live fathoms of water close in
shore.
Guanica bay is a quiet place sur¬
rounded by cultivated lands. In
the rear are high mountains and
close to the beach nestles a village
of about twenty houses.
The Spaniards were taken by
surprise. Almost the first they knew
of the approach of the army of in¬
vasion was the announcement con¬
tained in the firing of a gun
from the Glouchester, demanding
that the Spaniards haul down their
flag, which was floating from a
flagstaff, in front of a block house
standing to the east of the village.
The first couple of three-pounders
were fired into the hills right and
left of the bay purposely' avoiding
the town, lest the projectiles hurt
women or children. The Glouches¬
ter then hove to within six hundred
yards of the shore and lowered a
launch, having on board a Colt
rapid-hre gun and thirty men, and
under the command of Lieutenant
IIuss, which was sent ashore with¬
out encountering opposition.
first united states flag goes
UP.
Quartermaster Beck thereupon
told Yeoman Lack to haul down
the Spanish flag, which was done,
and the first United States flag to
float over Porto Rican soil was rais¬
ed on the flagstaff. Suddenly about
thirty Spaniards opened fire with
Mauser rifles on the American par¬
ty. Lieutenant Huss and his men
responded with great gallantry, the
Colt gun doing effective work. Nor¬
man, who received Admiral Cer-
vera’s surrender, and Wood, a vol¬
unteer lieutenant, shared the hon¬
ors with Lieutenant Huss.
Almost immediately after the
Spaniards fired on the Americans
the Gloucester opened fire on the
enemy with all her 3 and 6-pound¬
ers which could be brought to bear,
shelling the town and also dropping
shells into the hills to the west of
Guanica, where a number of Span¬
ish cavalry where to be seen hasten¬
ing toward the spot where the
Americans had landed.
Lieutenant Huss threw up a little
fort which he named Fort Wain-
wright and laid barbed wire in front
of it in order to repel the’ ex¬
pected cavalry attack. The lieu¬
tenant also mounted the Colt gun
and signalled for re-enforcements,
which were sent from the Glouces¬
ter. The Associated Press dispatch
boat Cynthia II was the only boat
in the harbor except the Gloucester.
While the Mausers were pepper¬
ing all around, Lieutenant Cam-
mander Wainwright called to the
Associated Press correspondent and
said :
4 4 They fired on us after their flag
was down and ours was up, after I
had spared the town for the sake of
the women and children. The next
town I strike I will blow it up.’
Presently a few of the Spanish
cavalry joined those who were fight¬
ing in the streets of Guanica, but
the Colt barked to a purpose, kill¬
ing four of them.
By the time the Gloucester had
the range of the town and ot the
block-house and all her guns were
spitting fire, the doctor and the pay¬
master helping to serve the guns.
Soon afterwards white-coated
galloping cavalrymen were seen
climbing the hills to the westward
and the foot soldiers were scurrying
along the fences from the town.
By 9 .45, with the exception of a
few guerrilla shots, the town was
won and the enemy was driven out
of its neighborhood. The Red Cross
nurses on the Lampasas and a de-
tachment of regulars were the first
to land from the transports,
After Lieutenant Huss had cap-
tured the place he deployed his
small force into the suburbs. But
he was soon re-enforced by the reg-
ulars, who were followed by corn-
pany G. of the Sixth Illinois, and
then by other troops in quick suc-
cession. All the boats of the men-
. of-war and the transports were used
\ in the work of landing the troops,

each steam launch towing four or
five boats loaded to the rails with
soldiers. Everything progressed in
an orderly manner and according to
the plans of General Miles. The
latter went ashore about noon after
stopping to board the Gloucester
and thank Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright for his gallant. action.
General Miles said:
“Guanica and Cinga are in the
disinfected portion of the island.
Mateo, the insurgent leader, lives
at Yauco, a few miles inland. Had
we landed at Cape San Juan a line
of rifle pits might have stopped our
advance.”
There is no doubt that General
Miles’s plans are being kept abso¬
lutely secret.
The spirits of the troops, men
and officers is admirable. The
Massachusetts and Illinois contin¬
gents, which have been cooped up
on board the Yale and Rita for a
fortnight, will be delighted to get
ashore and all will be well protect¬
ed by artillery before a serious ad¬
vance is begun.
Guanica is the most lovely spot
yet occupied by our forces. It is
the seat of the coffee and sugar in-
dustry and large herds of cattle are
pasturing in meadows, which are
bordered by cocoanut palms. Many
head of cattle and a large number
of horses have been driven in to the
mountains by their owners. Some
of them will be captured.
Ponce is the second city of the is¬
land, and has a splendid harbor
and will make a good base of
operations. There were fif-
teen large coasters this ‘after¬
noon at Guanica bay, but only two
barges were captured. It is likely
that the Spanish garrison from
Ponce may try to surprise our peo-
pie tonight. But it will only be an
affair of outposts.
The town of Ponce is sure to fall
shortly before the combined attack
of our army and navy. The main
fighting until San Juan de Porto
Rico is reached will be along the
line of a splendid military road lead¬
ing from Ponce to San Juan de
Porto Rico. But every precaution
will be taken 4 o lesson our casual¬
ties, even to the use of the street
shields, of which a supply was
brought with the expedition.
The health of the troops is excel¬
lent, except among the Massachu¬
setts men. They have been packed
on the Yale for about fifteen days
and thirty cases of typhoid fever
have developed among the soldiers.
Parker, of the Sixth Massachusetts,
died on Friday and was buried at
sea.
