o f Ponce lined the streets by the
.cores and hundreds and fill
ed the air with cheering on the
arrival of i’°n. Garretson’s bri
gade from Yauco.
The arrival of these troops and
those on the St. Louis makes
the fighting strength of the
Americans now operating near
Ponce about 9000 men, equal to
the entire force of Spanish reg
ular troops on the island.
Gen. Garretson’s camp is tem
porarily near the Second and
Third Wisconsin tegiments, on
the oulskirls of the town. The
brigade marched seventeen
uniat from Yauco to Ausby,
where they arrived travelstained
and mud bespattered. Almost the
entire population saw the troops
pass through the city and gave
them cheer after cheer, particu
larly as the artillerymen lumber
ed by.
The officers at the front, in
cluding Ilulings, with the Penn
sylvanians and Captains Austin,
Wheelock, Burns and Hall,
commanding the four advance
companies do not believe the
Spaniards will make an advance.
They claim the enemy will act
only on the defensive. There
was some firing last night be
tween Capt. Austin’s picketsand
the Spaniards in the bush, but
no damage was done.
All the American troops are
restless, due to false alarms of
the approach of the Spaniards,
and they are anxious for an en
counter with the enemy. It is
the general belief, however, that
there will be no forward move
ment of the main bod/ of our
troops until the transpor ts ar
rive. They are expected every
hour.
The troops on board the St.
Louis are reported to be in good
health. She brought twelve rep
resentatives of the Porto Rican
junta, whose business it is to
inform the people not to resist
the Americans.

There wer * requests for auto

might care to give. There were
pieces of music dedicated to the
Commodor., advertisements
with his picture in them, letters
fiom societies named nfter him,
and, finally, an engrossed set of
resolution, from his native town
in Mary!-xml.

as the terms of peace for Spain .
The general spoke of the fail

the front as causing disatisfac

war has done much to obliterate
the last vestiges of sectional
feeling. He said the soldiers from
the southern states would have

probably escape malaria and
yellow fever, “as their officers
would know enough to keep
