Good Work in Porto Rico.
Washington, July 3O.-The results
thus far achieved by Gen. Miles and
| Capt. Higginson, in command of the
naval squadron, in the occupation of
Porto Rico have created a feeling of
intense satisfaction among the of
| ficials of the administration. The in
formation received Friday directly
| from Miles and through the dis
patches to the Assoc. lated Press was
very gratifying to the president and
his advisors. It indicates, as one Of
| fetal expressed it, that miles is
cleaning up everything as he goes. .
The surrender Of Ponce, practically
without a struggle, is regarded by the
war officials with especial satisfac-
ton. In Importance it is the second
city Of the island. While nothing
definite is known Of Miles plans, the
war officials believe that he proposes
to rapidly push on towards San
Juan. The lighters taken at Playa
will enable him to speedily land the
troops of the expedition as they ar
rive and it is believed there will be
| no delay in the reduction of the en-
tire island. 1t is expected that the
Spanish forces will offer no vigorous
opposition to the United States troops
until San Juan is reached. There
| the great battle in the capture of the
island will be fought, unless in the
| meantime Spain should conclude to
yield to the inevitable.

Squadron Sent to Madrid

Washington, July 29.-Admiral
Cervera has forwarded to Spain
through the French embassy his re-
port Of the naval engagement which
resulted in the humiliation Of the

more elabo1 ate in its treatment Of the
great engagement than that Of Ad-
miral Sampson in his report to the
navy department. Through the vicis-
STUDIES Of war Cervera's report, al
though addressed to the Spanish min
lister Of marine. was submitted first
to the American navy department in

Washington, July 28.-While the

that Gen. Wilson with the part of the
Porto Rico expedition which sailed
from Charleston has already formed
junction with Miles army at Guam
lea bay, no information to that effect
has been received. Miles informed
the war department that he had sent
a vessel to meet Wilson's expedition

-"Shafter, Maj. Gen.
Surrender to Col. Ewers.


Guantanamo Bay, Cuba July 90
Col. Ewers returned to Santiago last
night after receiving the surrender of
the Spanish troops at Caimanera, and
will probably return here after con-
sulting with Shafter. Caimanera was
found to be strongly defended and rife
pits and earthworks completely sur
rounded the village. Only the smoke
stack Of the SandOval, the Spanish
ship sunk at that place, was visible
above the water and it is improbable
that she can be raised. The Spanish
troops at Caimanera are a ragged,
hungry lot. Ensign Prague who had
charge of the launch from the Marble
head which took Col. Ewers to Cal
manera says that the Spaniards asked
permission to fire off their pieces and
muzzle loading guns, because they
could not unload them. The Marble
head went up toward Scaminera this
morning for the purpose of raising the
mines there.

educators, whose deep interest in their pro-
iession makes the ,mparting of knowledge a
labor of love, we were not prepared for the
proofs furnished by this report of the great
proficiency which the nnpiis ct this Academy
have attained in the different branches OF what
is generally termed, polite learning. Wha'
especially struck us was the thoroughness, SC
frequently wanting in teachers, which rxact'
familiarity with first principles before the
pupil is permitted to advance to a higher grade
where, without elementary knowledge, TIT
Young mind would be a%ll..at sea.
That the efforts Of the good sisters are up
| preciated, the large number Of children at
! tending the Academy and the satisfaction o
parents are ample proofs.
