San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Ponce, Island of Puerto Rico, Aug.
2, via ST. Thomas, d. w. l., Aug. A.
The Puerto Ricans of Ponce lined the
streets by the hundreds and filed the
air with cheering on the arrival of
Gen. Garretson's brigade from Yauco.
The arrival of these troops and those
on the ST. Louis makes the fighting
strength of the Americans now oper-
ating near Ponce about 5000 men,
equal to the entire force of the Span
ish regular troops on the island.
Gen. Garretson's camp is temporar-
lily near the Second and Third Wiscon-
sin regiments, on the outskirts of the
town. The brigade marched II miles
from Yauco to Ausby, where they ar
rived travel-stained and mud-bespat-
tered. Almost the entire population
saw the troops pass through the city
and gave them cheer after cheer, par
ticularly as the artillerymen numbered
by. The officers at the front, including
Hulings' Pennsylvanians and Capts.
Austin, Wheelock, Burns and Hall,

will make an advance. They claim the

FEAR THE INSURGENTS.
General Merritt Wants $4,000 Troops
That He May BE Able to Meet
Any Emergencies.

San Francisco. Aug. 3. - In reply to
dispatch received Tuesday from Gen.
Merritt, now at Cavite, Gen. Merriam
cabled that since the departure of the
governor general to the Philippines
five transports, with 4,s97 men, had
sailed from this port.
Scarcely had the message been sent
before Gen. Merriam received word
from the war department that Gen.
Merritt had asked to have his com
mand increased from 10000 to $4,000
troops in order to be able to meet any
emergency which may arise on account
of the hostile attitude of Aguinaldo
and the insurgent forces.
Washington, Aug. A. - Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt are said to
have reported to President Mckinley
a doubt of their ability to control the
at Manila, and a massacre
III that city is imminent.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Peace Prospects Stimulate Many
Lines-Failures for a Week.

New York, Aug. 6.-R. G.. Dun e Cos
weekly review Of trade says: Prospects
Of peace stimulate many kinds of BUSH
ness. In spite of records, the impression
prevails that delay and hesitation have le-
ultimately resulted from war, and larger
contracts are in fact coming forward for
iron products, with a better general de-
mand in most industries. The velume of
payments through all clearing houses was
the largest ever known in July, being eight
per cent. larger than in 1892 for the month
and for the past week Ill per cent larger.
Most industrial works have resumed after
shorter vacation, with fewer participate
ing than usual. A few labor troubles only
call attention to the fact that this season
has been remarkably free from such
hindrances.
I'm spite Of promise of 7O0, ZOO, 900 BUSH
els of wheat this year, the price is two and
one-half cents higher for the week The
disposition of farmers to hold back their
wheat for prices more like those obtain
able recently accounts for receipts 36 per
cent smaller than last year. The visible
supply is extremely low, but exports at the
present rate throughout the year would
have little lifting power if the crop is about
30O,OOO,O0O bushels more than home needs
for seed and food. Corn exports for the
week have been only 1,7S4,347 bushels,
against 2,725,O90 last year, though the price
has scarcely declined.
Failures for the week have been 1876
in the United States, against 237 last year,
and q in Canada, against 20 last year."

Washington, Aug. 5.-The navy de-
partment has received full reports Of
the naval operations against Manza-
Milo on July IS. They show that much
more damage was done than is gen.
orally understood. The reports specify
no less than ten Spanish vessels
burned, sunk or destroyed.
The American ships engaged in this
operation were the Wilmington,

patuck and Osceola, with Commander
C. C. Todd, of the Wilmington, in COM

age was done the American ships and
there were no casualties. The engage

Madrid, Aug. 6.-The government

who deplores any unnecessary loss Of
life, knowing that Puerto Rico will in

those obtained by Gen. Toral, or bet

lings was rendered the freedom Of the

zens reported that the Spanish had
carried away all the money that was

barbarity have been greatly exagger-
ated. There is no authentic case of
destruction of private property or out
rage upon women. Gen. Otega is still
at Aibonito, with probably thousand
Spanish regulars. Gen. Stone, with a
small force, went Monday afternoon
to Adjuntas, where Spanish outrages
were reported on Saturday. He will
occupy the town, proclaim American
rule, establish communica ton with
the surrounding country and push
across the Arceibo. on the north coast.
Ponce, Aug. 3.-Arrcyo and Quay
anna were seized Monday and the
American flag hoisted by Capt. Good
rich, of the ST. Louis. A detachment
landed at Arroyo from the Gloucester
and the Wasp and met with no opposi-
ton. After entering the town and
placing it in charge of his men he
moved on to Guayama, four miles west.
Here he found that the Spanish troops
had abandoned the place several days
before. Guayama may be used as a
supply depot for our troops.

WHAT SPAIN MUST DO.
Must Accept II She Would
Have Peace.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The following
is an official statement given out by
authority of the president Tuesday as
to the terms of peace offered by the
United States:
In order to remove any misappre-
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United States
and Spain, it is deemed proper to say
that the terms offered by the United
States to Spain in the note handed to
the French ambassador on Saturday
last are in substance as follows:
The president does notnow put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem-
nifty, but requires the REIMBURSEMENT
ofall claims of sovereignty over or title
to the island of Cuba as well as the i'm
mediate evacuation by Spain of the is
land; the cession to the United States
and Immediate evacuation of Puerto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and
the like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and harbor
of Manila, pending the conclusion of
treaty of peace which shall deter
mine the control, disposition and gov
eminent of the Philippines. If these
terms are accepted by Spain in their
entirety, it is stated that commission
ers will be named by the United States
to meet commissioners on the part of

flash of lightning and many flag poles
