Lathrop, representing the Boston firm of DeFord 4 Co., which has been ap pointed the government’s fiscal agent in Porto Rico, will establish banks at San Juan and Ponce.

The Spanish soldiers and sailors who thronged the city seemed especially curious to see the man who destroyed 1 Cervera’s fleet. M The United States commissioners 1 desire to dispatch their work as soon 1 as possible, but they have no idea of 1 the time it will require. Everything ' depends upon the attitude of the I Spanish commissioners.

Their instructions were received yes- 1 terday by the steamer Ciudad de Ca- 1 dis. One of the commissioners is said to ' have remarked to Admiral Schley 1 that if be was anxious .to leave for * Spain, and that if be bad his way the * proceedings would terminate so that he could go in a week.

Tn an increditably short time there was a knock at the door, and the boy stuck his bead in. 1 “Champaign, gentlemen T” “No, just bring up some plain, everyday, common water, with ice in it.
