Flag In Porto Rico
Washington special:
The advance brigades of the army Of
invasion under Gen. Miles landed on the
island Of Porto Rico and Immediately be-
gan establishing bases of supplies for the
re-enforcements that are speedily to fol-
low. The War Department received i'm
formation direct from Major Gen. Miles
Of the landing.
Circumstances were such that the
American commander deemed it advisa-
bic to take the harbor of Guanica first,
fifteen miles west of Ponce, which was
successfully accomplished. The Glouces-
ter, Commander Wainwright, first enter
ed the harbor, met with slight resistance;
fred a few shots. This is a well protect
ed harbor; water sufficiently deep for all
transports; the heavy vessels can anchor
within a few hundred yards of shore. The
Spanish flag was lowered and the Ameri-
can flag raised.
The little village of Guanica, where our
troops landed, is on the southwest coast
Of Porto Rico not far from Ponce. There
were twelve vessels in the expedition, in
GLIDING FIVE warships. Among the latter
were the battleship Massachusetts,, the
cruiser Columbia, and the auxiliary gun
boat Gloucester. These vessels and trans
ports, conveying 1000 troops, artillery,
horses and ammunition from Guanta-
namo, arrived off Porto Rico, and, in ac-
cordancc with a plan agreed upon ut the
council of var held at sea on board the
Yale, Gen. Miles headquarters, proceeded
to Guanica, at which place there is an ex-
cellent approach. At the council it was

Washington special:
Poor old Spain is on her knees Mt last
begging for peace. She has had enough
of war and cries quits. She has laid aside
her Castilian pride and approached the
White House us n suppliant. She has lost
her haughtiness md assumed n proper
spirit of humility. She has not had the
presumption to suggest terms. She has
humbly asked whether the President will
deign to discuss terms of peace and end a
war disastrous to Spain and full of glory
for the United States. The Madrid aui
thorities have finally realized that it ID
useless to keep the Spanish people longet
In ignorance of the actual results of tho
war. The Examinations of bombastid
Blanco have come to be regarded at theft
true worth in the capital of the peninsula,
They have ceased to dclude even a small
portion of the Spanish people.

decided that Guanica afforded a much
better landing place than Ponce, which
was the real objective point, and that the
troops could be put ashore without meet
ing with any serious resistance.
The Massachusetts and Columbia
steamer inshore as far US was considered
safe and dropped n few of their big mis-
siles among the enemy. AT the same
time the Gloucester, whose lighter
drought enabled her to approach the
shore much closer than the heavier war
ships, opened fire with her three and six
Founders. The Spaniards replied without
effect with their Mauser rifles and then
retired. The Gloucester then sent a party
ashore to haul down the Spanish flag
from the blockhouse near the beach,
which had been abandoned by the enemy
at the opening Of the fire. AS the flag
was being lowered a number Of Spanish
troops fired on the landing party, who re-
piled spiritedly with their rifles and a ma
chine gun, which they had taken ashore
with them. The Spanish fire was finally
silenced. It is known that at least four
of the Spaniards were killed. Not an
American was hurt.
Ponce, toward which place Miles army
Immediately began an advance, is the sec
ond city ip population and commercial inn
portance in Porto Rico. It is about three
miles from the coast and has a population
Of $4,000, with n Jurisdiction over $4,000
inhabitants. 1t is located on q high plain,
is the chief town in the judicial district Of
the same name, and is said to be the
healthiest place on the island.
There is a railroad to Yauco and a stage
road to San Juan, on the north coast;
Mayagilez, on the west coast, and Quay
anna, on the east. There was also a tele-
graph and cable station until recently,
when the British Gable Company cut out
the Porto Rico loop to prevent It being
tied up by the war. There are no for
ti6cations at Ponce, but about thirty old
mountain howitzers. There are reported
to be about 1900 Spanish soldiers garri-
soned there, but from the harbor the war
ships could command the whole place and
land the troops Of Gen. Miles with perfect
safety,

and Others Need Clenning.
Nearly all the big ships of the navy,
which have been constantly in service
since long before the war began, are to
be brought to the United States for over
hauling. Only one or two Of the battle
ships and armored cruisers will be taken
from the West Indian waters ut the same
time, but the Navy Department has de-
cided that the work must be performed rs
rapidly as possible. and available docks
will be utilized. The Texas has been
ordered to New York from Santiago.
Like nearly al the other ships, she is
suffering from splintercd decks and bulg-
ed bulkheads caused by the conclusion of
the big guns. Few Of the ships require
repairs on account Of damage done by the
enemy's shells. The Indiana needs some
re~nevating; the Brooklyn received n few
rounds from the rapid-frc guns Of the
Cristobal Colon, and the Iowa has IN
unexploded shell sticking in her side.

It was q straight line shot. The Brooklyn

The medical department of the army
has completed arrangements for the care
of the sick and wounded soldiers Mt hos
pital stations on the Atlantic coast. About
1000 beds have been provided at Fort
Monroe and the accommodations at other
points are ample for the present. The
surgeon general has received many prof.
fers for the use of private estates on the
Eastern coast for the care of the sick and
wounded, but there has been no occasion
to accept these. Reports received by the
surgeon general indicate that the wounds
of soldiers injured in the Santiago cam

The wounds from Mauser rifle bullets
