THE PORTO HIGHTS Ciuer The Americans as They Itah. JIIILES [lfiS 9000 MEN ora s Many as The Spnnla-d8 Hava on Porto Rico- ——- Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, * Aul'. 3, via St. Thomas, D. W. ] Aug. 4.— T, ‘ e Porto Ricnns 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.

Longstreet as the terms of peace for Spain . The general spoke of the fail ure to send southern troops to the front as causing disatisfac tion in the south, but said the war has done much to obliterate the last vestiges of sectional feeling. He said the soldiers from the southern states would have been able to withs and the Cu ban climate and that they would probably escape malaria and yellow fever, “as their officers would know enough to keep them on the move.” ANY PERSON Wishing to know the truth in regard U>»ir health ehould not fail to -end for a valuabU and new 64-pago Booklet which will be eent FUKE , for a short time to thoeo who'mention!this paper. * This book is published by the celebrated - einns and Dr. Hathaway and to. of . 32-4 H.
