Gen. Miles Entry Into Ponce Described
by Richard Harding Davis.
From Scr1bner's.

From Scrfbner's.
Later in the day General Miles and
General Wilson, i'm full dress uniform
and beautiful white gloves, received
the homage OF Ponce from the balcony
OF the a~lcalde's palace. They made a
very fine appearance. but as no men
go unshaven in Porto Rico except
priests, the populace were greatly dis
turbed to find that 1t was General Miles
and not General Wilson. who was tne
commanding general OF our army. He
should have been an archbishop" they
said. but later he convinced them tha;
the mustache does not make the soldier.
Nothing could have been more enthus-
iastic or more successful than their
open-air concert. The fire compa-
nies paraded i'm their honor. and ran
ver three OF their own men. which
gave the local Red Cross people a grant
chance to appear on the scene. eacn
man wearing four red crosses, to carry
away the wounded. This created soma
confusion. as the fremen preferred -
walk, but the Red Cross people were
adamant and bore them off on stretch
ers whether they would or not. The
only thing wanting to complete the pic
ture vas an American flag. 1t was only
"A detail, but the populace seemed 20
miss II. IL was bou the only article
with which the expedition was not sup
piled. Frantic cabling to Washington
repaired the loss, and within a week
iiags were upon the roofs of many a
city hall. Ponce itself held more for
elgn flags than we had ever seen. Judg-
ing from their number one would have
thought that the population was COM
posed entirely of English. Germans,
French. Swiss, and members OF the Red
Cross society.

Decrease I'm the Jute Crop.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FIum tHt FhIIdutIpnla IIfnes.
Consul General Patterson OF Calcut-
ia states for the benefit of manufac-
turers. dealers and onsumer of jute
that there Is a decrease in the area
of tute cultivation amounting to 417 800
acres. This is due partially to the de-
ficiency Of rain during the sowing sea
son N partially to h low price OF
jute last year n the high price of
rice. which have induced the c%ultiva-
tors to grow the latter crop instead OF
jute. IL may be roughly estimated that
this years yield will amount to 30 per
cen Of a normal crop.

Sousa's Admirable Programs.

Sousa possesses the magic secret of
attracting enormous crowds to bis concerts,
musicians as well as the general public,
which is one of the very best proofs Of their
vast superior 'y. The general public is
more in pursuit of amusement or entertain
ment but the musician goes orlv because
there is musical scholarship in evidence to
crafty the exactions of his own Grave
and lofty works are offset by sparkling and
fantastic conceits that set the blood ting'ing,
spirits dancing and possibly the toes tap
ping voluntary tattoo to the time. It is
no easy matter to make a program that
will please everybody in an audience, but
Sousa comes as near doing it right along as
any man ever did The people like his
music as he plays it, and they flock to the
theatres and halls in such enormous crowds
that it is no rare thing for the manager to
stop the sale of tickets at the door, and
this has been done in New York as else
where. Sousa long ago solved the prob
