San Juan, Porto Rico, via D. W. I.,. Aug 8.—The Americans have taken j-eaceftil possession of the eastern por­ tion of the island. Small parties of marines have been landed, who have lighted the lamps in I the lighthouses at Cape San Juan and other lighthouses along the coast. I They met with no resistance. Indeed, | at Cape San Juan deputations of oiti- I zens came out to meet them. The warships now in this vicinity I are the Mongomery, Annapolis, New I Orleans, Puritan and Amphitrite. The two former are looking for the troop transports which left the United States, and have scattered all about the island. The Annapolis rounded up the Whit­ ney, Florida and Raleigh yesterday, and they are at Cape San Juan. There seems to have been a serious mistake as to the rendezvous, for no I two ships got to the same place, and it I will take several days to locate them ' and get them to Ponce, Where General Mile« is awaiting them. Off San Juan the erniser New Or­ leans alone maintains the blockade. The city is grim and silent, but back cf her hollow walls there will be plen­ ty of determination and fight when the Americans open fire. Captain-General Macias has issued a proclamation, in the course of which he says: “Spain has not sued for peace, and I can drive off the American boats now, as I did Sampson’s attempt before.” I A daughter of the captain-geneial is helping to drill the gunners in the forts. Altogether there are 9,500 Spanish regulars in the city. Tbe troops of the enemy who are retreating from Ponce and the other towns on the south coast occupied by the Americans have not yet arrived. American« Assisted by Insurgents, v Madrid, Aug. 8.—An official dis­ patch from Porto Rico says: “Ameri­ can cavalry, assisted by the insurgents, have charge at Fuenata and Cabejas, the lighthouse station at San Juan.” Progress of Miles’ Army. < Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 8.—Major- General Miles is proceeding entirely without regard to peace negotiations. Krag-Jorgensens are being issued. The second and Third Wisconsin are mov­ ing up to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania today. Colonel Hulings has captured 5,000 sacks of rice. Thus far the enemy has not molested him. Major-General Brooke’s landing at Arroyo was successful. The troops from the Roumanian, four batteries of the Twenty-seventh Indiana, the First Missouri, the First Pennsylvania and the Fifth Illinois, are disembark­ ing there. The Morgan troop oi the Fifth cavalry and the Mississippi ccm- «nissaries have arrived here. GAUTEMALA I REVOLUTION. Morales Ila« 7000 Men, and ported by Wealth.

We are on the wav to Ocos. “MIGUELIN.” Morales is said to have 5,000 Rem­ ington rifles and 700 men. Details of the revolt are hard to oDtain, as tele­ graphic communication is interrupted. Morales is represented to have little means of his own, but he is supported by men of wealth in the liberal party. There is believed to be an understand­ ing between Jose Leon Castilla and Mor­ ales, both of whom are candidates for the presidenoy, that the one who has the strongest following will receive the other’s support. What they are bent on is the defeat of Cabrera. Hint at O.hko.h. « Oshkosh. Wit., Aug. 7.—Rioting has been resumed by the striking wood­ workers here, on account of the sash- and-door men trying to run the plants with non-union labor. At 8 o’clock this morning the strikers congregated and clubbed and stoned the workmen who were trying to reach Morgan’s mill. Thirty policemen were dis­ patched to reinforce the small squad on duty there, but when the police ar­ rived the crowd set on them with sticks and stones in a rough manner. The police used their clubs freely and the street was finally cleared at the ex- g^Qse of many broken heads and • score of arrests. Knauls Trying to Secure a Port. London, Aug. 8.—Replying to • question in the house of commons, the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, Mr. Curxon, said her majesty’s government had beard that a great pow­ er was endeavoring to obtain a port on the Peisian gulf. Two-thirds of the trade of the gulf was British. Mr. Curaon added, wherefore the govern­ ment was especially interested in I the matter. The power mentioned, it il said, beyond doubt, is Russia SUPPLIES FOR CUBANS. MILES’ Steamer Wanderer Made Three Success­ ful Lauding*. Key Wast, F1J., Aug. 8—The steam­ ship Wanderer returned here today, after effecting a successful landing of arms and ammunition at three differ­ ent points on the Cuban coast. She left here early in July with about 40 Cubans and 11 members of trie Third United States cavalry, to protect the landing of atom 2,000 rifles and car­ bines, with nearly 1,000,000 cartridges. July 23 she attempted to discharge her cargo at Babia Honda, province of Pinar del Rio, but was fought off by a force of 700 Spanish, who peppered the ship’s hull with Mauser bullets, killed three Cuban scouts, who were waiting to receive the expedition and wounded six of the Wanderer’s crew. The steamer then came back to Key West, left three injured men in the hospital here, and started on her second attempt. This time she went to a point about six miles east of Bahia Honda where she met a small party of insurgents i from Colonel Zarillo’s forces, but no Spanish. About one-third of her cargo was discharged here, and 25 Cubans were put ashore. The Wanderer then headed for the mouth of the Manati river, provinoe of Puerto Principe, where, on the night of July 30, she landed without difficul­ ty about the same quantity of arms FOR SAN JUAN. and ammunition and seven Cubans.

London, Aug. 9. — That extreme dip­ lomatic tension exists between St. Pet­ ersburg and London is generally admit­ ted today, though officials deprecate the alarmist«’ reports which were cur­ rent yesterday. It is hoped that the firmer stand adopted by the Marquis of Salisbury during the last few days, which seems to already created some misgiving at Petersburg, will have the desired affect in arresting Russian ag­ gressiveness. As evidence of the fact that Great Britain appreciates the gravity of the situation, the press learns that the admiralty is preparing for all emergencies, and that it will soon be ready to mobilize. Every offloer and man on furlough or half pay has been assigned to a ship and instructed to be in readiness to join at the earliest moment. Therefore, practically every ship in the British navy at the present moment has a full war complement ready to go to sea when the time arrives. According to Paris advices Admiral Bedelliere, com­ manding the French China squadron,' has cabled a demand for reinforcements, and a large credit to be applied to erect­ ing fortifications. There is suspicion here that the action of the French ad­ miral means sup]>ort of Russian designs. ON THE BLOCKADE. On« Spanish SHoop Sunk, Another One Captured. Key West, Fla., Ang. 9.—The tug Hudson, which has been with the Un- cas on the north coast of blockade, sank a little Spanieh sloop a few nights ago and captured another one off Car­ denas yesterday. The Spanish sloop was the Christina and was loaded with fish, a quantity of which was served up for breakfast to the Hudson’s men, who had been out a month and had little left in the way of provisions. Three Spaniards who '.were on the Christina put off in their tender when they saw the Hudson approaching and gained a key just off shore. The converted yacht Oneida also came from the blockade today. She reports that Friday a body of Spanieh infantry fired about 30 rifle shots at her from a point on the beach several miles west of Morro castle. The gunboat did not return th fire. EMBARKING THE IMMUNES. Third and Fifth Regiment* Arrive at Savannah. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 9.—The Third and Fifth regiments of United States volunteers arrived here today and are in camp awaiting transports to take them to Santiago. The Third regiment arrived this morning from Macon, and the Fifth toDigbt from Columbus, Miss. The transport Rio Grande arrived to­ night and is loading the baggage of the Fifth regiment, two battalions of which will go on board tomorrow and will sail at noon. The Leona is expected in the morn­ ing. The Minnewaska is delayed through an accident to her machinery and is not expected before Tuesday. I She will carry the Third regiment, com­ manded by Colonel Patrick Ray. All of (the officers and men are anx­ ious to get away. There is no lack of enthusiasm among them, and the ap­ peals that have been made to the war department to save them from Santi­ ago, the men oi both regiments say, are without authority and misre­ present them by discrediting their valor. ________________ Went Through a Bridge.

TRANSPORTS ARE ON HAND Further Stay in Cub. Would Mean Lo*i of the Army—Men Weakened by Ha­ la ria Will Be Ready Frey for an Epidemic of Yellow Fever-. Washington, Aug. ft,—The president this afternoon had a conference with Secretary Alger, Secretary}’ Long and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen, at which action was taken for the prompt transportation of General Shaf­ ter’s army from Cuba to Montauk point, Long Island. It was decided that there were sufficient vessels off the Cuban coast for the purpose. The dispatch of troops home accordingly will begin at once. Colonel Theodore Rooevelt, of the rough riders, succeeded in burring the movements of the war department, though in his disregard of the conven­ tionalities lie has drawn upon his head a rather sharp rebuke from the secre­ tary of war, who evidently regards the couree pursued by Colonel Roosevelt as being calculated to injure discipline, though inspired by the most worthy motives. It is or.ly fair to state that the war department for «ome time has been intent upon removing these troops, and more than a week ago General Shafter was instruerted to cheer up the soldiers by publicly informing them of the determination. It was rather a question of ways ami means than a lack of intention to redeem this prom­ ise, that caused the delay. As far as the question of removing the the troops back into the mountains was concerned (tbe question which eeems to have precipitated the indigna­ tion meeting among the American com­ manders at Santiago), it is learned that the medical department made no such recommendation. All that it bad to eav on this subject was that, if the troops must be near Santiago, an effort should bj mad§ to remove them at once to some healthier camping ground. Surgeon-Geneari Sternberg agrees thoroughly with the opinion expressed by the signers of the “round robin” at Santiago, that men who have suffered from tbe severe malarial fevers of tbe eouth coast of Cuba, so far from being immune against attacks of yellow fever, as has been asserted in some quarters, are actually in very mnch greater danger than titose who have ejeapog the malaria. It is, boa eVer, the ex­ pectation that all of the American troops wlil have been removed from Santiago to the United States by tbe end of this month, and that is probably Interest* the President. the very best that can be done under Washington, Aug. 8. — W.
