I , Aug. 4,—The Porto Ricans
of Ponce lined the streets by the
scores and hundreds and fill
ed the air with cheering on the
arrival of Gen. Garretson’s bri
gade from Yauco.

those on the St. Louis makes

Americans now operating near

the entire force of Spanish reg
ular troops on the island.

porarily near the Second and
Jhiid Wisconsin tegiments, on
t-m outskirts of the town. Tire

was some firing last night be
weenCapt. 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 body of our
troops until the transports 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, whoso business it is to
inform the people not to resist
the Americans.
The Dixie’s shot at Morro
castle on Saturday caused the
utmost consternation at San
Juan de Porto Rico, where it
was behoved to have signified
that the place would be nom
barded within twenty-four
hours.
