FRICTION BETWEEN
 OFFICERS OF A BRIGADE,
Five Line Officers of the Sixth Massa- ehusetts Resign Their Commissions.
 Miles VIII Investigate.

Boston, Aug 5.-A cablegram to The Journal from Ponce says:
 A tremendous sensation has occurred in the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, General Garrettson's bridage. The friction between line officers of the reg iment and officers of the brigade, which has been growing since the brigade left Cuba, reached climax on Monday, when Colonel Woodward, Lieutenant Colonel Chaffin, Major Taylor, Chap lain Dousseault and Captain Goodell, Company K. resigned their commiss- ions. The reason is unknown.
 The matter has been fully reported to General Miles and a rigid investigation has been ordered by military law, as to resign in the face of the enemy means 8 courtmartial.

MAKING ADVANCES
 IN A CAREFUL WAY.
General otega Holds an Important po- sition, but Americans Are Rrepar-
 ing to Surprise Him.

Ponce, Aug 3, via St. Thomas, Aug. 6.-The plan of campaign has not fully been determined upon, but the natural strength of the Spanish position at Aibonito and the character of the de- fensiye works erected there neeessitates q flank movement. A turning move ment was inaugurated today when General Brooke landed 5000 men at Ar. royo, 60 miles east of here. From there he can strike the military road leading to San Juan at Gayey, beyond Aibonite This will compel the Spanish com mander Otega, who has great reputa. tion, to abandon the stronghold or Do caught between two fires. It Is possible a second column may moyo on his left flank also ill which case the present ad- vance on his front will be shown to ba only feint
 General Stone is making dashing reconnaissance north i'll the direction of Arecibo. He went into Adjuntas last night with five men and four corre- spondents and today he brought his command on along the Utuado road. Tic road is practicable for cavalry and in. fantry. It it is found passable at Utu- ado light column Of troops may be pushed across to the coast and strike in on San Juan on the left flank, but if General Brooke is successful it is proba. ble that Otega will find Aibonito unteu. able, in which case the whole Of our army, after effecting . junction, vii move on the main road
 General Stone met with q most enthu. siastic welcome from the natives ill tho villages and towns through which ho passed
 4 general advance is not to be ordered until all of General Miles plans are per fected, but when the advance is once begun 1t will be rapid. The fleet will lombard San Juan and make other Gi- versions to keep tke enemy busy ct every point.
 So far as known no forward move ment will be made by American troops until the arrival of mora transports which are expected hourly. There has been no fighting up to tho present so far as known. Spaniards are expected to make their first stand st Aihonito, g miles from here, where two or three thousand Spanish regulars are believed to be entrenehed. The present prospect is that tbere will be no actual fighting for several days.

Fleming was one of the most hard hearted men ever in the jail walls In talking to GRAPHIC reporter last night he said:
 ''I don't want any preacher; he can't do me any good. I will be better dead than alive, any way. will admit, now.I am going to hang, believe some parts of the good book, but not all of it. One thing l do want to say and that is, AM INNoCENT!'
 His mother was crying in the rear alley and begging hlm to pray, he yelled to her. "Go home, and don't let me see you any more!"
 He never slept q wink Thursday night. as he said lie was praying. He was given his breakfast this morning and after eating, stood looking through the bars, laughing with 8 lot of negroes, who were on the ground below him.
 Fleming was only 19 years of age, having served terms in the peniten- tiary and on the county farm. He dI essed about 9:30 o'clock this morn ing and went down stairs in com pany with iailor Gibson and deputy sheriff Johnson, where he had his picture taken by local photograph CT. He was then carried to the de- pot where hundreds assembled to see him make his last departure from this city.
 At the depot he sat in the patrol wegon smoking q cigar, and talking to every one who spoke to him. He said: "Aint you going to bring me back to this place. l don Psee any coffin; guess come back in box. Oh! well don't care As the train pulled out from the station, he yelled to the overwhelming crowd: ."Good by boys and girls, good luck to you all. :" And he laughed as fl he was bound for n picnic, or on an excur- sion. Kodak fiends were numerous on the way to and at the station.
 Rev. J.9. Battles stood by the con demned man in the wagon and gave n lecture to the assemblage and, pointing to Fleming, said:
 "This is indeed good example, and, although q costly lesson, l want all present to learn it well. ,
