May ftl.-The expedition up the Rio Grande river met with no resist, ance except at the outskirts of San Luis, where several hundred Filipinos were In trenched on the bank of the stream. The rebels retreated beyond Candaba. and the gunboat etc.imed ahead, all tho way training their gulling guns upon the banks and dropping shells wherever unl. forms appeared upon the shore. The gunboats dispersed the insurgents before San Luis. After they had passed, sharp, shooters from trees across the river a hundred yards distant harassed the Sev. enteenth Infantry, which was marching by fours along the narrow wooden road from which the troops were unable to ave the enemy. The members of on bat talion laid on their faces In the road for a quarter of an hour trying to locate the riflemen and return their Are. Two Americans were wounded. The roflil wound clear to the stream nd was 'thickly settled. It was a plctur. esqtie march. Many croups of hundreds of natives were clustered under the trees on the opposite hank, displaying white shirts, towels, or anything white on poles. Some shouted welcomes to the Americans, but most of them maintained a sullen silence. An old man In a car riage met the troops two miles outside of the town. He said: "I have lived In England and I hsve lold the people that the Americans are like the English and Hint they need not be afraid." Captain Grant. In command of the gun. boat, landed before the troops arrived. and met with a "Porto Rlcan welcome." The natives who had assembled on the shore crowded about the Americana with fulsome expressions of friendship, appar ently half afraid that they would be massacred. Captain Grant quickly distributed the men from the gunboat Lnguna de Bay to guard the own, and the natives sent a messenger to tell the people who had taken refuge In the swamps to return Huhdreds of the native, fhereupon re- turned timidly, a man with an Impro vised fl.i of tru'.t flying front a bamboo pole preceding each party. A Capurhln pret, on. of th. few whom the Klllplno. hi n't Imprlaone'l, wa found at C'andaba. He aald It wai uselei. to try to convince the native, that the American, had n"t com. to (rp. presa them, as they bllev4 their lead. era, who had rronjly Impr'ated thl lief upon them.

They were met by Adjutant Oneral Barry and taken to the palace. Afi-r breakfast the party wai closed with General Otis for more than an hour. The Interview waa decidedly un. atlsfaciory, the Insurgent commt.slonert nut having anything definite to propo. nd being unempowre4 to negotiate any terrna.

May & -The president and Mrs. McKinl.y with the friends wno ; acumia:iled them, reached Washington at v. m. today. Tneir atay of twelve I daa at Hot Springs was one aimosi en- llrely of real. The outing has been of great beiutit to the president and he re- UIii his official dutie. thoroughly re- fresh-d and invigorated. The party left Hot Spring, laat night and today traveled slowly through Shen. andoah valley. Thirty Ave year, ago Mr. MeKlnley, aa assistant adjutant on tho ataff of General Crook, marched through the same valley, participating in heavy lighting which occurred during iWierlJ.n . famous ride.

Tlmts.Heraldl The most elouucnt testimony concern, Ing the lofty character of our mission In tho new Island dependenelc s comes In the shape of a photograph from Ponce. Porto Rico. This Is not a picture of com. merclal or military conquest. In It there Is no suggestion of the splendid military campaign by which General Miles brought the Island under th. stars and trioes. It is not a picture uf shlpa un- loading cargoes of American products In exchawe for Porto Rlcan sugar and cojjee. it i a nlcture that shows to the world that we are not In Porto Rico for com. merclal aggrandiiemenl or military ub.

It Is a photograph of Amert. can expansion, a picture snowing tne natural fruition of the Anglo-Saxon su. premacy In all cllms where the Latin race have been driven out ty Its resist. less advance. In this picture 1 a row of 31 Porto Rlcan, barefooted youngsters, lined up in front of the first American school In Ponce. Behind them, standing In the doorway, I an American schoolmaster, with intelligence and determination in his face, minus the traditional birch, typical of the greatest force In our Amcr- lean civilisation. in this class of 31 may be a fuiure governor of Porio Rico, a future mayor of Ponce or future representatives of the Island, perhaps, at Washington. They are at least being trained Into good American cltlxen, who will be able to reoognixe the obligations of cltlienshlp under the flag of our republic, and will be Intelligent enough to discharge thejn for the common welfare of the people, This Is the other side of the Spanish American war picture the side that must silence the carping cynicisms of the antl-cxpanslonlsts. It Is an argument they cannot answer more eloquent than editorial or sermons and more con vincing than proclamations. It pictures the kind of transformation that will be wrought In Cuba and the Philippines when they have been completely pacified and reclaimed from th. land of despot. Ism and Internal disorder. The United State Is In Porto Rlcp not for ugar and coffee alone but for common school and clvlllxatlon. DEWEY IS ON HIS WAY Crews Crowd the Decks of American Warships on His Departure.

May 20. -So far the navy department knows nothing except i e most general way of the Itinerary 'of Admiral Dewey's cruise from Manila I to New York.

The belief at the department Is tlMt trie admiral will apend about two weeka at Hongkong, for the Olympla la to b. docked and her drab war paint must be covered with ipotleat white.
