ON TO SAN JUAN
The Progress of Gen
eral Miles' Army
in Porto Rico.
THE CITY OF PONCE IS OURS
. Sharp Engagement With Spanish Troopi
Before Yanco Enemy Wu Kepulsed
With Lom-General Miles Issues it
Proclamation to the People.
Port of Ponce, Porto Rico, via the
Island of St. Thomas, Aug. 1. The
port of Ponce surrendered to Com
mander 0. H. Davis, of the auxiliary
gunobat Dixie. There was no resist
ance, and the Americans were wel
comed with enthusiasm.
Major-General Miles 1 arrived here
this morning at daylight, with General
Ernst's brigade and General Wilson's
divisions on board transports. General
Ernst's brigade immediately started for
'the town of Ponce, three miles inland,
"which capitulated this afternoon.
The Amerioan troops are pushing to
ward the mountains, and will join Gen
eral Henry.with his brigade, at Yanco,
"which has been captured by our troops.
A fight before the latter place last
Tuesday was won by the . American
companies of the Sixth Massachusetts
and Sixth Illinois, but the enemy was
repulsed and driven back a mile to the
ridge where the Spanish cavalry
charged, and was route! by our in
fantry. General Garretson led the
light with the men from Illinois and
Massachusetts, and the enemy retreat
ed to Yanco, leaving four dead and
-several wounded. None of our men
were killed, and only four were slightly
wounded.
The Porto Ricans are glad the Amer
ican troops have landed, aud say they
are all Americans and will join onr
army. The roads are sood for military
purposes. Our troops are in good
health, and General Miles says the
campaign will be short and vigorous.
General. Miles has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
In the prosecution of the war against
the kingdom of Spain by the people of
the United Statea in the cause of lib
erty, justice and humanity, its military
foroes have oome to occupy the island
of Porto Rico. They come bearing the
banners of freedom, inspired by a noble
purpose, to seek the enemies of our gov
ernment and of yours, and to destroy or
capture all its armed resistance. They
bring you the fostering arms of a free
preople, whose greatest power is justice
and humanity to all living within their
fold. Hence they release yon from
.your former political relations, and it
is hoped this will be followed by your
cheerful acceptance,
"The chief objeot of the American
military foroes will be to overthrow the
authority of Spain and give the people
of your beautiful land the largest meas
ure of liberty consistent with this mili
tary occupation. They have not come
to make war on the people of the coun
try, who for centuries have been op
pressed, but, on the contrary,' they
come to protect not only yourselves,
"but your property, promote your pros
perity and bestow the immunities and
blessings of our enlightened and liberal
institutions and government. It is not
the purpose to interfere with the exist
ing laws and oustoms which are whole
some and beneficial to the people, so
long as they conform to the rules of
the military administration, order and
justice. This is not a war of devasta
tion and desolation, but one to give all
within the control of the military and
naval foroes the advantages and bles
sings of enlightened civilization."
AFFAIRS AT UNALASKA.
Rich Sulphur Mine .Said to Have Been
Discovered.
Seattle, Aug. 1. Elmer Miller, who
wintered at Unalaska, says that since
the Russians first settled Alaska there
were never so many white people on
the Aleutian islands as there were last
year, and eight different companies
were at work building 84 Yukon river
boats, and from about a soore of white
Cnalaska increased its population to
nearly 700. Of the 34 boats built,
many met with disaster when: they
were towed intoBehring sea, the shores
of which are strewn with wreckage of
all kinds of river craft
Judges Rruket and Reed, of Minne
apolis, have been on the island all win
ter examining a sulphur mine adjoin
ing the volcano of Makushin, about 20
miles west of Unalaska. It is said that
this mine will prove more valuable
than any gold mine in the Klondike,
as sulphur is at present greatly in de
mand. Rumor has it that the mine
will prove to be the richest in the
world.
Killed by a Train.
Clay Center, Kan., Aug. 1. Levi
Catlin, of Rockford, III., was killed by
a Union Pacific passenger train. Mr.
Catlin was rated as worth three-quarters
of a-million dollars, and had large
interests in Clay county.
Seattle, Aug. 1. Maurice B. Atkin
son, of New York, who started to the
Klondike by way of the Ashoroft trail,
has returned here, with the story that
600 prospectors are stranded at a point
about 700 miles from Ash croft. ' Be
yond one or two parties, who took in
large outfits, the men are living on the
most stinted rations. Mr. Atkinson
says that the attention of the Canadian
government will be called to the desper
ate situation in which the gold-seekers
are in.
FLEET AT WORK.
Neuvitas Bombarded by the American
Warships.
Key West, Aug. 2. Reports have
reached here that Neuvitas, on the
northern coast of the province of Puer
to Prinoipe, Cuba, lias been bombarded
by the ships of the blookadhig squad-
Ton, evacuated by the Spanish and sub
sequently burned. No details are
known, and the only information of
the affair was that given to Captain
Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, by
Lieutenant-Colonel Rojas, of the insur
gent focres at Gibara, last Tuesday,
Colonel Rojas himself has the news at
second baud.
The only American ships known to
have been in the vicinity of Neuvitas
lately are the Prairie and Badcer. The
latter captured three Spanish ships
coming out of the Neuvitas harbor, and
took them to Dry Tortugas. All were
flying Red Cross flags, but when board
ed were found to contain a number of
Spanish soldiers, only three of whom
were sick. The Badger is expected
here shortly.
The Nashivlle reported at Gibara on
Tuesday, when she captured the schoon
ers Gibara and Expresso. On entering
the harbor, she was met by the ex-
Umteu States consular agent and pres
ident of the railroad line to Holeuin
He told the Americans of the evacua
tion of Gibara two days before by Gen
eral Leque and his 1,800 Spanish troops,
Who Xeared a concerted attack by Amer
icans and Cubans. They fled to Hoi
guin by rail, and afterwaid store up the
tracks. General Lequez left in the
Gibara hospital 685 sick and wounded
Spanish soldiers with a request to Ad
miral Sampson to see that they were
properly oared for. -
The next day the Cuban forces, con
sisting of 500 cavalry, under Lieuten
ant-Colonel Rojas, and 200 infantry,
made a triumphant entry into the town,
They were received with acclamations
by the Cubans, and the town held fes
tival that day and night. The insurg
ents took formal possession, establish
ing police system and sent out ecouting
parties, ana when the Nashivlle ar
lived, the best of order was being main
tained. The invaders had, however,
neglected the sohooners. m the harbor
and the American ships took possession
oi them. - i t
When Ensign Snow left with a
prize crew to bring the Gibara here, it
had been determined to raise the. Amer
ican flag over the town.. ' :
SORROW IN GERMANY.
Ail Interest Centers in the Death o!
Prince Bismarck.
Berlin, Aug. 2. The news of Prince
cisniarcK'B death, which became gen
erallv known onlv through mifioial eHi
tions of the papers, produced profound
sorrow, as so suurten a realization of the
fears of his demise was not expected.
Several papers this morning . puhlished
speoiai articles with mourning borders
expressing, in feeling terms, the na
tional sorrow, and dwelling on the hril
liant and immortal services of the
prince to the fatherland, his heroic
greatness and his trulv German charac
ter. Sorrowful sympathy over Prince
cismaroK's aeath is -manifested in
many ways. The news ia constantly
discussed in public places, and a feel
ing of sadness prevails among all classes
of people. Particulars of the last mo
ments of the prinoe and other cicrum
stances attending bis death are eagerly
sougni. Many private houses show
flags at half mast Secretary of State
Von Buelow will return from Siemmer
ing, Austria, immediately.

Pay Train Wreoked.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 2. From
officials of the Southern Pacific railroad
in this oity details of the wreck of pay
train of that railroad three miles west
of Benson, Ariz., were obtained tonight
The accident occurred at 6:20 this

PANIC IN SANTIAGO.
Easiness Demoralized by the Uncer
tainty of the Future.
fcantiago de Cuba, Aug. 1. A pan
icky feeling prevails in business cir
cles here, owing to a fear that the
Americans will turn the city ovei to
the Cubans for self-government. No
confidence exists, owing to the uncer
tainty of the future. Orders that
weie given during the first days of the
American occupation have been coun
termanded by cable. European mer
chandise on through bills of lading via
New York has been ordered unshipped
and sold in New York, even at a sacri-
flee.
The same feeling extends to the
Cuban merohants themselves, who
seem to have lost faith in the ability of
their own people to control affairs. The
rebels demand independence, but the
better classes, the merchants and land
owners, dread such a possibility, and
fervently hope that the United States
will retain the reins of government in
the island, as the only guarantee of
stability or prosperity.
Senor Julian Cendoja, agent of the
Ward line of steamers, says that a
hundred Spanish merchants have ap
plied for cabin and baggage room on
the return trip of the steamer Philadel
phia, which is expected today, and
they will leave the city unless there is
some assurance from the American gov
ernment that it intends to control the
administration of public affairs in
Cuba.
This is the question uppermost in
everybody's mind. Spanish, foreigners
and natives are all alike anxious for a
definite expression from Washington of
the policy of the United States with
regard to Cuba, and until the express
sion is made, no resumption of trade or
commerce can be expected in Santiago,
where today both are in a demoralized
and chaotic state.
APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Filipino In Europe Ask Us Mot to
Abandon Them.
London, Aug. 1. Natives of the
Philippine islands and British subjects
who have interests there are alarmed
by the reports that the peace terms in
elude the return of the- islands to
Spam. As a result they have held a
meeting here, and after consultation
with the Filipinos in Franoe and Bel
gium, have oabled to President MoKin
ley and to Senator Davis, chairman of
the senate foreign relations committee.
The message to President McKinley is
as follows:
"The Filipinos resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands for the sake of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us to your
consideration and support To hand
over our country again to Spain is con
trary to the humanitarian proceedings
of your noble nation, and the wish of
all classes. Civilization, trade and all
will be lost if Spanish authority is re
established in any form."
The message to Senator Davis says:
"A castiron agreement, binding
Spain to form a government satisfac
tory to the inhabitants, is preposter
ous. To retain her sovereignty means
deception, oppression and bigotry. We
place our rights in your hands, and
pray you to induce the president and
senate not to abandon in the hour oi
peace a people who, trusting in Ameri
can honor, fought for their common
interests."
FATAL SAN FRANCISCO FIRE.
Five Persona Were Killed and Many
Injured.
San Francisoo, Aug. I. A fire, which
broke out shortly after midnight in a
three story frame building at 118 Ore
gon street, caused the loss of five lives
and badly burned five persons, one of
whom is not expected to survive. The
dead aie:
Kate Connelly, William White,
Frank Kelly, George Hansen, C, A.
Holmes.
The injured are: Mis. Manuel Sllva,
badly burned and probably fatally in
jured internally; John King, burned on
side and right arm; Chris Christian
sen, burned on arms, face and head;
Pat Donohue, burned on arms, face,
oh est and back; Edward M. Kenny,
burned on arms, back, neck and thigh.
The building was a cheap lodging
house, and most of the inmates were
'longshoremen and people who work
along the water front. Being of wood,
the struoture burned like tinder, and
the victims were nearly all suffocated.
The property loss is not over $2,000.
Bound for Manila.
San Francisco, Aug. 1. The third
battalion. First South Dakota volun
teers, and the Minnesota and Colorado
recruits sailed today to join their com
rades in the Philippines. The St.
Paul will carry the troops to their des
tination; A fleet of tugs, steamers and
launches gathered about the St. Paul
and acted as an escort and on shore
the wharves were lined with people
who waved farewell to the departing
troops. The rigging of the transport
was filled with the soldiers, and two
men, anxious to secure a lofty peroh,
climDed up to the mastheads, from
which points they waved flags. The
soldiers were saluted by steam whistles
and bells and the cheers of the soldiers
filled the air as they passed down the
bay.
Papers Foreed to Ad ranee Prices.
Chioago, Aug. 1. All the morning
papers of this city print an announce
ment that on and after August 1, the
price will be 2 cents a copy. The in-
creased cost of white paper and the en-
nanced general expense due to the war
are the reasons for the advance.
Washington, Aug. 1. Great Britain
has notified the state department that
the has selected her majesty's ships
Alibon and Icarus for patrol service in
Behring sea during the present season.
REPLY TO SPAIN
Terms Final and No
Further Negotiations '
Required.
NO MONEY INDEMNITY ASKED
Cession of Porto Kico, One of the La
drones, and a Coaling- Station in the
Philippines, and Relinquishment of
Cuba Demanded.
Washington, July 80. The cabinet
discussed the president's answer to
Span's peaoe proposal, and reached a
decision to demand the following gen
eral conditions:
Absolute surrender of Porto Eico to
the United States. Recognition of the
independence of Cuba, cession of one of
the Lad rone islands as a coaling sta
tion, and cession to the United States
of at least a ooaling station in the Phil
ippines.
The question undecided is what dis
position will be made of the Philip
pines. It oan be stated that there is
practically no difference of opinion in
the cabinet on the retention of the
Philippines as a whole, all the mem
bers beinR OnUOSed to our anmiiaitinn
of these islands. There has been no
decision on the extent to which the
government will sro in its decision .
specting the future of these islands,
uui it is expected the answer of the
president will exnress the willincnBna
of this government to leave the matter
oi the future government of the Philip
pines entirely in the hands of a joint
commission, to be appointed . by this
government and the government of
Spain. The probability , is that the
United States will insist on oartnin ra.
forms in the government of the Philip
pines.
Our answer will make no mention of
a money indemnity. Neither, will
there be any armistice at all. The
answer will be in the nature of an nlti
matum, and if Spain does not accept it
sue win lare worse in the future.
CONDITIONS IN HAVANA.
Favorable Report llrought by a Ger
man Tourist.
St. Louis. Julv 80. Auirnst Grnne.
one of the foremost merchants of Cuba,
who has lived in Havana for 24 years,
stopped here today en route to Ger
many on a visit. In an interview,
Mr. Grope said:
"When I left Havana two weeks
ago, the inhabitants were not in the
slightest fear that the -city would be
Domoarded. In fact, everything was
going on the same as usual. The the
aters, dancing halls and business of
every character were flourishing, and
nut lor the presence oi troops in the
city yon would never know a war was
in progiess. '
The blockade at Havana has thus
far not proved very effective. The
farms around the citv furnish all the
supplies necessary. The soil is so fer
tile that crops can be produoed in 80
days. There is no scarcity of provi
sions in Havana, nor has there been
any perceptible advance in the price of
iooa. xnere are 40,000 regular sol
diers and 25,000 volunteers in the
city.
"About 8.000 men are working nisht
and day strengthening Havana's fortifi
cations, nnder the personal direction of
General Blanco. A few days before I
quitted the city, the captain-general
told me Havana would be well-nigh
impregnable, and that talk of its fall
after six months' of bombardment was
sheer nonsense "
FRANCE PROTESTS.
Claims the Ollnde Rodrlgaei Was Not
Blockade Runner.
Washington, July 80. The French
embassy has called the attention of
the state department to the circum
stances connected with the seizure of
the Fenoh merchant steamship Olinde
KodriguezI, and has requested the Im
mediate release of that steamer. The
action was taken simultaneously with
a protest from the French Trans-Atlantic
Steamship Company against the
seizure. The state department has sub
mitted all the papers in the case to the
department' of justice, with a view to
getting an opinion on the legal ques
tions involved.
The grounds of the representations of
the embassy are that the Rodriguez was
engaged in ordinary mercantile puisuits.
and has also on board the official
mail of the French minister at Port au
Prinoe. It is said that her manifest
shows she was not intending to enter
a blockaded port.
Situation Is Serlona.
New York, July 80. A dispatch
from Colon says: "The position of
the Corrutti matter is now extremely
serious. Three Italian warships are in
front of Cartagena, and the Italian ad
miral has received orders to bombard
the city. Great Britain and the United
States are intervening."
Thousands Will Perish.
Fresno, Cal., July 80. The dry sea
son has caused great loss to stockmen
on the Sierra foothills. It is estimated
that 175,000 sheep were driven into
the forest reservations after the with
drawal of the United States cavalry,
some time ago. Recently, a force of
deputy marshals forced the stockowners
to remove their cattle and sheep from
the reserve land. Some of the herders
assert that as there is no grass and lit
tie water to be found elsewhere, at least
100,000 sheep must perish.
IN BETTER AIR.
Shatter's Army Will Be Brought Back
A Fine Camp Site Secured.
Washington, July 80. Secretary Al
ger is deeply conoerned over the welfare
of the gallant troops under Shafter's
, command, now encamped on the out-
skiitsof Santiago. ; The health report
shows a surprisingly large number of
cases of Bickness, but army surgeons
authorize the statement that these
figures are misleading in a certain eense,
and that the situation may not be
nearly so bad as they would seem to
indicate. The slightest ailment of the
most temporary nature suffices to plaoe
a soldier's name on the sick reports,
which, in their present shape, would
not distinguish between such a case and
one of mortal illness. The inference
is that many of these cases in Shafter's
camp are of a trivial nature, but go to
swell its grand total oi sick and wound
ed. ,
Notwithstanding this mitigating
fact, Seoretary Alger is going to remove
the soldiers at the earliest opportunity
to more healthful clime. " The surgeon
general, under the direction of the seo
retary, a few days ago, inspected a
tract of land adjoining Montauk Point,
Long Island, belonging to the Long
Island Railroad Company, which has
been offered to the government as suit
a be for a large encampment. The
traot is three miles square, contains an
abundance of fresh water, a considera
ble lake, a hill 10 feet in height, and
many other sanitary advantages, in
cluding salt water bathing.
The'neoessary orders to equip this as
a oamping ground will go forward im
mediately, and every advantage will be
taken of the experience gained in the
formation of the great camps at Chicka
mauga and Camp Alger, to make the
conditions as comfortable as possible
for the battle-scarred veterans in Shaf
ter's army.
The time for their removal Is reft to
General Shafter, the only limitation
placed upon him being that he shall
not delay the homeward sailing of his
troops beyond the moment when it
shall be safe for them to leave San
tiago, having regard to the fever condi
tions, , i ,
Meanwhile, details are being made
of troops to supply the force that shall
garrison Santiago so long as it shall be
found necessary to continue troops
there. This force will be made up
almost altogether of immunes.
General Shatter's daily bulletin, as
posted by the war department, follows:
Total siok, 4,122; total fever, 8,193;
new cases fever, 822; cases fever re
turned to duty, 542; deaths, Private J.

SHAFTER, Major-GeneraV.
Assignment of War Loan Bond.
Washington, July 80. The treasury
department today issued the following
statement authorizing the assignment
of the new bonds:
"In order to save vexatious embar
rassment to large subscribers to the
war-loan bonds meaning by this sub
scribers for more than $500 the de
partment has arranged to recognize
transfers of notices of allotments, so
that persons receiving notice of the
amount allotted to them will be in a
position to realize on them in case of
necessity substantially as readily as if
they were in possession of the bonds
allotted to them. This has seemed to
be the duty of the treasury department
sin view of the unavoidable delay in
plaoing the aotual bonds in the handi
of the larger subscribers."
The Pacific Cable.
San Francisoo, July 80. The Even
ing Post, in an article published today,
says that the United States will soon
be connected by cable with her newly
aoquired Pacific possession, and the
cable will connect the United States
from tills city with Hawaii, the La
drones, the Philippines and Hong
Kong. Thepaper says that most of
the surveys have been made, and that
the contract for the laying of the cable
has already been let, and that, accord
ing to the terms of the contract, the
work must be completed within six
months. The price to be paid is stated
to be $10,000,000. i
Our Exhibit at Paris.
Washington, July 80. Ferdinand
Peck, of Chicago, the newly appointed
United States commissioner-general to
the Paris exposition, was at the White
House today and had a long conference
with the president, who suggested that
the representation of this government
should be conducted on a broad, gen
erous plan. The president agreed that
there should be an additional appro
priation of $400,000 for the expenses
of our representation there, the present
appropriation for the purpose being
$650,000. Mr. Peck thinks an assist
ant commissioner-general will be ap
pointed in a few days.
Spanish Prisoners Paid Off.
Portsmouth, N. H., July 30. The

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc.,
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber of
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
The average wheat trader is bearish,
but does not stand short, an advanoe of
o to lc running him in. He is afraid
because farmers are not selling their
wheat as freely as they did last year,
although prices are but slightly differ
ent. Conditions a year ago were ex
tremely bullish, foreign crops being
short, and the majority of foreign trad
ers were outspokenly bullish and had
millions of bushels bought for Septem
ber and December delivery. They
kept up their buying right along and
made heavy engagements for ocean
room. Freights from Chicago to Liver
pool a year ago were 1 1 Jo a bushel or
wheat, and now they are 7.3-8. The
Amerioan grain trader saw the largest
exports for the twelve months ending
June 30 that be is liable to witness
in many years. Not one in the trade
ever knew their equal, and they may
not witness a repetition. Foreigners
are now selling wheat short, as they
know that their home crops are nearly
equal to their requirements. Franca
will need very little, if any, the Danu
bian provinces have a larger Burplus,
and the majority of the European coun
tries will not bo in the market as buy
ers. Export houses figure that we will
not ship more than 140.000,000 bushels
of flour and wheat for the coming
twelve months. '
The world's crop is estimated at 344,
000,000 bushels above last year's, which
does not warrant Tiighei prices unless
there is an unusual wave of speculative
buying, whiob for the present is not
discernable. There is no bull leader,
and no prospect of getting one. It is
true that the farmers have more money
and are In better position to hold their
wheat, so that it may not be forced on
the market as rapidly as in previous
years. This may have a sustaining
influenoe, but will make a slow and
dragging market.
Exporters at the seaboard and eleva
tor people here have been short for
July, having acoepted orders for ship
ment this month. This has created an
urgent demand for prompt shipment.
It is too late to get much wheat to the
seaboard for this month's delivery, and
the majority of the shorts have covered.
