Gen. Stone gave them two hours to get

The Spaniards will probably retire as
far back as Aibonito, about 30 mHes on
the road to San Juan, where they are like
" to make a stand if they receive rein

NO FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Army will Remain at Ponce Stv-
eral Days.

Ponce, Friday, July 20. IS p. m.-No
forward movement Of the army is expect
ed for several days. The transports with
Gen. Brooke's army corps and the re-
mainder of the first corps are arriving
slowly. Our troops will probably remain
quietly until the bulk of the army dis
embarked. Only three tranports have ar
rived since yesterday. They have just ap-
peared in the offing and only one has
been made out. 1t has on board the 9Th
Ohio cavalry. Gen. Miles will retain his
headquarters at the custom house In the
port of Ponce while Gen. Wilson will be
in immediate command of the troops in
the city. Gen. Wilson pushed Gen.
Ernest's brigade consi sting of the second
and third Wisconsin and the 10th Penn
sylyania regiments, out a mile and half
on the military road after dusk last
night, retaining twos companies of the
10th to act as a provost guard in the city.
Capt. Allison has Deen appointed pro-

constabulary has preserved excellent or

of the city remained in the streets cele-
brating the arrival of their American
liberators until long after, mldnlghe.
During the night, all sorts OF wild ru
mors were brought in to Gen. Wilson.
The first was that the Spanish were TO at
tack the city in force. In view OF tnls
a strong line of outposts was maintained
by Gen. Ernest and the mon slept on their
arms. This report, however, soon gave
way to rumors that the Spanish were re-
treating, putting entire villages. plan
tations, buildings and houses to the torch,
numbering and ravishing as they went.
Some of the wealthy plantation owners
Of the Vicinity became.ssterror stricken

and appealed wildly to Gen. Wilson to
despatch troops to the rescue, but 1t was
manifestly impossible to divide SO small
force.
None of the reports was confirmed
when daylight came. except that the
Spanish were in full retreat. That they
indulged in excesses of cruel vindica-
tive character is doubtless true, but
the town Of Guiana Dias, which was re-
ported to have been burned last night, IS
known to be standing this morning
Gen. Jose Garcia, who is Immediately
in command of the Spanish regulars,
was deserted by most Of the Spanish vol
unteers in his command during the
night and they began struggling back to
the oity with the dawn. They 1mmedl-
ately presented themselves to the provost
marshal and surrendered their arms.
The appearance of tie volunteers
aroused in tbs breasts of the natives, who
had suffered at their hands in the past,
especially the political prisoners who
were released when we took the city, %
desire for revenge and they began to
ferret out all the Spaniards in the city
who had ever been in the volunteer SER
vice and drag them to the Plaza. Blood
hounds could not have been more savage.
Most of the Spaniards in hiding, upon
being discovered, were hauled in triumph
by hooting. .jeering..mobs to Gen. Wilson'S
headquarters or to the provost marshaPs
office in the municipal buildings. Some
of the natives even began looting tbs
residences of the Spaniards. They mis-
took liberty for license and were crazed
with thirst for vengeance.
Gen. Wilson, soon taught them that re-
venge could not be wreaked under the
protection Of our flag. and peremptorily
ordered that the arrest OF. Spanish sus'
poets should cease. Such volunteers az
presented themselves were, however, re-
ceived and released after their names had
been taken. They will all report tomor.
row and be formally paroled. Many OF
them have been forced into the service
of Spain to escape persecution.
Business in the city has enjoyed great
boom since the arrival of the Americans.

New York, July 31.-Back from the
coast of Cuba, battle SCARED and powder
stained and punctured In spots, with her
guns bristling in the sunlight
and her officers and crew laughing and
like school boys on holiday
trip, the o. S. battleship Texas, Capt.
j. w. Philip In command, steamed slow.
ly up in the lower bay from Sandy
Hook. For a brief period she remained
at anchor of Tompkinsville, to receive
the mail and dispatches. and as soon as
these were got on board the vessel pro-
ceeded slowly to her destination amid
salvo of greetings from the thousands OF
men, women and children who crowded
the decks of the excursion boats that
were outward bound.
Salutations of welcome came from all
sides. Every vessel that boasted steam
whistle let 1t shrek for all 1t was worth.
When the Texas reached the navy yard
the dock was crowded with blue Jackets
and marines, who greeted their fellows
with feverish enthusiasm and welcomed
them back withFjoyous cheers. Hundreds
of relatives of the men aboard rushed to
embrace the heroes who fought SO b,avely
and successfully. The general outward
appearance showed that the Texas had
had rough time Of it since she left the
yard, bound for southern waters five
months ago, and close inspection re
ealed the places where the shells OF the
Dons had penetrated the port bow and
starboard superstructure. On the 2sd o.
June while the Texas was bonbardIne
the moro at the entrance of Santiago
harbor, six-inch shell tore through the
port side under the anchor about 20 feet
from the bow. This she'll exploded on
the opposite side of the gun deck and on
its way instantly killed Frank Blakely,
frst-class apprentice, whose home wal
