A LETTER FROM sCHLEY.
Victory of July 3d-'Large Enough
to Win LaureIs for All"

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. August l.
Shortly after the great naval victory off
Santiago, In which Cervera's feet was pur-
sued and destroyed by the American YES
sells Of war, under Commodore schley,
Captain John schley, a cousin of the
commodore's, wrote a letter Of congratu-
lation to the Commodore for the victory
won. To-day he received a reply, which
in part, is as follows:
Flagship Brooklyn,
Santiago de Cuba, July 22d.
MY Dear John,-The victory of july
Sd, so complete in results and so rich In
glory for our country, was the Joint pro-
duct OF every one fortunate enough to be
engaged and / ought rather to thank you
In their name than to appropriate the con-
CALCULATIONS TO myself.
surely it was large enough to win lau-
rels for all, and 1 assume no other pride
In it than the lucky place OF this ship in
the line, which was where the first heavy
assault was made, and afterward by her
speed and her direction to keep in the
scrap until the finish, which occurred
three n one-half hours from the begin
ming.
The sweetest thought and the greatest
satisfaction come from the fact that our
conduct that day has won the peoples
love and earned the nations admira-
ton. which encourages us in the public
defence, no matter at what risk to our
selves. If 1t secures peace to cur beloved
land, and permits us to return soon 10
our loved ones and 10 our people, our eff
forts were we'll directed.
Thanking you again, my dear cousin
and schoolmate n friend, I am always. !
very sincerely yours,

that IL any stand is made before San
Juan is reached, 1t will be at Aybonito'
wher a mountain pass gives the enemy q
great opportunity.
At Guayamo, twenty-seven miles east or
Ponce, 200 Spanish regulars. under instruc-
lions from the Captain-General. seized the
funds OF the town. The residents re-
sisted, and General Miles was appealed to
for help. He advised a naval demonstra-
ton in front of the town, and II Is possible
that this will be made tomorrow. Troops
may be sent if the reported presence OF
Spanish regulars there is confirmed.
Tales of looting and maltreatment Of
people continue, the reports covering
numerous small towns in the province OF
Ponce. The arrival OF General Brooke
with the troops on board the auxiliary

nothing is TO be done prematurely.
POST-oFFICES AND MONEY.
Mr.. Hanna is busy In assisting 70 adjust
local conditions TO the new state OF af-
fairs. He is endeavoring to establish
American post-offlceS IN all the important
centres of the occupied territory, and he
has frequent interviews with merchants
and bankers on the question OF the money
premium.
An awkward question Is giving tho
American and local hnanciers much trou-
BILE. The situation briefly in this respect
is that prior to the American occupation,
the premium on American and English
gold over Porto Rico silver had been from
$l20 TO I.75. The ~Spanlards, on leaving,
took away all the money they could find,
and this resulted in an abnormal scarcity,
Gripping the merchants. who must pay
imDOrt duties in Porto Rfcan coin The
premium fell quickly to one hundred, and
is now down TO fifty. The serious ques-
ton is as to the intrinsic value of the ma
tive coin, which is adulterated with nickel.
To-day the merchants proposed to Mr..
Hanna TO agree to pay a premium OF 100,
provided import duties on goods from the
United States were removed. They also
offered TO buy everything from the United

Mn spite Of the brave words OF the
pronunciamento Of Captain-General Ma
cias, Spanish power in Porto Rico is rap
Idly crumbling.
Mr.. p. C. Hanna, the United States
Consul at San Juan until war was de-
clared, gives the Associated Press the
following text OF a dispatch received by
him to-day from a Spanish official in the
northern par OF the island:
Resistance is impossible. The volun-
teers have refused TO march, and we
have no ammunition"
Mr.. Hanna declines TO give the name
Of his informant, but 1t is known that
he has excellent secret sources Of infor-
nation. He has all along insisted that
the native Porto Ricans were eager for
a change from Spanish to American rule,
and that the only danger in the Island
was from the Spanish regulars, Under the
direct command of the Captain-General.
