Several papers this morning published special articles with mourning borders, expressing, in feeling terms, tiie na tional sorrow, und dwelling on the bril liant and jmmoital services of the prince to the fatherland, his heroic greatness and iiis truly German charac ter. Sorrowful sympathy over Prince Bismarck’s death is manifested in many ways. The news is oonstmitly discussed in publio places, and a feel- ing of sadness prevails among all classes of people. Particulars of the last mo ments of the prince and otiier cicium- stances attending hi? death are eagerly sought. Many private houses show flags at half mast.

There was no resist ance, and the Americans weie wel comed with enthusiasm. Major-General Miles arrived here this morning at daylight, with General Ernst's brigade and Geneial Wilson’B divisions on board transports. General Ernst’s brigade immediately started fur the town of Ponce, three miles inland, which capitulated this afternoon. The American troops are pushing to ward the mountains, and will join Gen eral Henry,with his brigade, at Yauco, which has been captured by our troops. A fight heioie the latter place last Tuesday was won by tiie American companies of the Sixth Massachusetts und Sixth Illinois, lmt the enemy was repulsed and driven hack a mile to the rfdge where tho Spanish cavalty charged, anil was route I by our in fantry.

None of our men were killed, and only four were slightly wounded. The Porto Ricans ate glad the Amer ican troops have landed, and say they aro all Americans and will join our army. The roads are good for milituiy purposes. Our troops are in good health, and General Miles says the campaign will lie »hint and vigoious. General Miles has issued the follow ing proclamation: “ In the prosecution of the war against the kingdom of Spain by the people of tho United States in the cause of lib erty, justice and humanity, its military forces have ooino to occupy the island of Porto Rico. They come bearing the banners of freedom, inspired bv a noble purpose, to seek the enemies of our gov ernment and of youra, and to destroy or capture all its aimed resistance. They bring you the fostering arms o[ a freo preople, whose greatest | m > wci is justice ami humanity to all living within tlieir fold. Hence they release you from your former political relations, and it is hoped this will be followed by your cheerful acceptance, "T h e chief object of tho Amerionn "military foioes will lie to overthrow the authority of Spain and give the people of your beautiful land the largest meas ure of liberty consistent with this m ili tary occupation. They have not mine to make war on tho people of the ooun- j try, who for centuries have been op pressed, but, on the contrary, they come to protect not only yomselves, but your property, promote your pros perity and bestow tiie immunities and blessings of our enlightened nil I liberal institutions and government. It is not the purpose to Interfere with tho exist ing laws and customs which are whole some and beneficial to tho people, so long as they conform to tho rules of the military administration, ordet 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 foioes the advantages and bles sings of enlightened civilization.’ ' AFFAI RS AT UNAL ASKA.

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 lias been ordered unshipped and sold in New York, even at a sacri fice. The same feeling extends to the Cuban merchants themselves, who seem to have lost faith in the ability of tlieir own people to control affairs. The rebels demand independent«, but the hotter classes, the merchants and land owners, dread suoh a possibility, ami fervently hope that the United States will retain the reins of government in tho island, as the only gnaiantee of stability or prospority. Senor Julian Cemioja, 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 tome assiiiance from the American gov ernment th ut it intends to control the administration of public affairs in Cuba. This is tho 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 expres sion is made, no resumption of trade or onmmercc can he expected in Santiago, whero today both aro in a demoralized and chaotic state.

Not to London, Aug. 1.— Natives of the Philippine islands und British subjects who have interests there are alarmed by the reports that the peace terms in- cludo the return of the islands to Spain. As a result they have held a meeting here, and after consultation with tho Filipinos in France and Bel gium, have cabled to President McKin ley ami to Senatoi Davis, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. The message to President McKinley is as follows: "T h e Filipinos rosident ill Europe pray you not to abandon the Philippine islands for the sake of pence with .Spain. Our loyalty and trust in tho honor of America entitle us to your consideration and sup|K>rt. To hand over our country again to Spain is con- tiury to the humanitarian proceedings of your noble nation, and tiie wish of all classes. Civilization, tiado and all will bo 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 tho Inhabitants, is preposter ous, To retuin her sovereignty means deception, oppression und bigotry. We place our rights in your hands, and pray you to induce the president and senate not to abandon in the iiour of |»>ace a people whb.
