COnsIdcrjnE Wilson's RepOrt,

Washington. Oct. 5. The report Of
Major General Wilson upon the pclit-
ical, social, educational and financial
conditions of Porto Rico is in the hands
of the president, who is giving it as care
full consideration as his time allows in
order to gather information for his rec
concentrations to congress in the mat
ter of the government of that island.
The early evacuation of the island by
the Spanish and its control by the Unit
ed States make it important that a
system of government for it should be
inaugurated early.

Drowned While Bathing.

While party Of young men were
in bathing Sunday morning at a point
on the river nearly opposite Sells Is
land, sad accident occurred which
bereft the family Of Mrs. Mccartney
of its youngest member. Arthur Nc
Cartney was about l6 years of age,
an intellectual young fellow, well
liked by his associates and acquaint-
ances of the family. The actual facts
in the matter are somewhat shrouded
in mystery, but it is presumed that
the young man ventured out into the
stream a little too far and was caught
by the current, which is very turbu-
lent and strong at this time of year.
At any rate, before any thought that
he was in any danger of losing his
life had entered the minds of his COM
panions he sank beneath the surface
and his body was carried away by the
rushing waters.
At the hour of going to press the
body had not been recovered. although

Can't Monkey with Dewey.

Special to the Record.
MANILA, July 8, via Hong Kong
July 13.-on the 9Th insurgents re-
ported that the German warship Irene,
lying in Subig bay, refused to permit
them to attack the Spanish on Grana-
da island. Upon receipt of the intel
ligence Admiral Dewey promptly dis
patched the cruisers Raleigh and Con-
cord to investigate matters. On en-
tering the bay the Raleigh opened fire
on the forts. whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out of
the channel. The result of the firing
was that Spaniards numbering 500
surrendered everything in their pos
session. On returning to Manila the
commander of the Irene explained
that he interferred ''in the interest of
humanity and offered to hand over to
the Americans the refugees he had
taken on board. Dewey, however,
declined to accept them. Governor
General Augusti has issued proclaim
nation promising to grant autonomy
to the islands and offering the insur-
gents inducements to join the Spanish
forces. Aguinaldo has replied that
the overtures from the Spanish com
mander have been presented at too
late an hour to be considered.
In addition to the prisoners cap
tured at Granada, including Col. Rio.
commander-general of the army, six
hundred Mauser rifles, forty thousand
pounds of ammunition and Hotch-
kiss gun. 1t was nearly daylight
when the gunboats steamed close in
to the island, and before the sentries
knew what was going on their torpedo
house and earthworks were destroyed.
Still the enemy showed no inclination
to surrender and the commander of
the Raleigh ordered: Throw shell
into the commanders quarters; those
fellows don't seem to be in any hurry
to show their white colors." A shot
went through the house and the white
flag went up Immediately.

Rev. c. A. Berger, accompanied by
his friend Rev. C. Z. Shaible took in
the Royal Gorge yesterday and came
very near being taken in by the roar
ing torrents which came rushing down
the mountain side. They were. how
ever. fortunately sheltered in the Hot
Springs hotel. They report the trip
a delightful one. Colorado enterprise
is seen in the agricultural develop
ments which the great system Of irri-
cation has brought to the state. The
picturesque scenery in that wonderful
Gorge defies description and must be
seen to be appreciated. The enter
prising suburb to Florence known as
Canon City is truly beautiful for loca-
ton. Her springs are models and her
pen is admirably conducted. Her
business interests are up TO date and
her wealth is best seen in the man.

Going to Grade maeons

Property owners and residents of
Macon avenue have you considered
the cost? Have you discussed the
question in your own minds pro and
con? Have you consulted with your
next door neighbor and obtained his
views? Have you glanced up Green
wood avenue, then down? Did you
notice the bitches and crossings at
the intersection with other streets? :?
If you can answer all these questions
in the affirmative, or even the first
one, what are your deductions? Is
not the balance on the wrong side?
Candidly, is it not more expensive
to you to have your street in its
present condition than it would be to
have it like Greenwood? Would not
the added value to your property
more than compensate the outlay for
grading and maintaining good
street? OF course it would. And not
only that, but the pleasure of living
on and travelling over street which
was not continually overfiowing when
your neighbor irrigates his back
yard or his lawn, or on which mud
puddles did not form during each
shower would double its attractions
Tor you. Does not this picture meet
5our approval? To be sure it does
Not one of you who are able would
hesitate an instant TO contribute the
paltry sum required to bring about
the change. This being true, then
the RECORD, as an advocate of public
Improvement, conjures you, one and
all, TO join hands and set the ball in
motion which will bring about the
desired result. Our word for it, you
viii never regret the move. 1t will be
an occosion for everlasting congratu-
lation. 1t will not be an expense for
temporary relief, but will continue to
be an improvement for all time to
come. Consider for moment what
Main street has done in adding benefits
TO the city. 1t has paid for itself ten
times over. SO will Greenwood
avenue, SO will River street, and
shall We not say SO will Macon?

Some uneasiness Felt.

Special to the Record
WASHINGTON, July l3.-Some con-
cern is felt about the situation at
Santiago, largely because of lack of
definite information. Nothing has
been heard from Admiral Sampson
directly save few messages relative
to routine affairs, such as transports,
etc. Up to nine O'Clock this morning
navy officials said nothing had been
heard since last night regarding the
renewal of fighting by General Shafter.
