way through Yale, graduating fifth in
a class of 100, and attaining before his
death very prominent place in nation

GEN. JOE WHEELER.
He Was as "Game" Before Santiago as He
Was in the Sixties.

He was as "Game" Before Santiago as He
Was in the Sixties.
This gallant gentleman is not suf-
ficiently we'll known to our day and
generation. Years ago, in a slight
unpleasantness now forgotten, he
made a great name for himself as a
fighter; but he lived to fight again
and bring his fame and gameness up
to date.
A young trooper of the United
States cavalry, wounded at Santiago
and now getting we'll at home, has
this to say about the old Confederate
cavalryman:
Gen. Wheeler was the soul of &C.
ton in our line. He rode up and
down in front of the troops where
the bullets were the thickest, yell
ing: "Give it to 'em, boys" He
seemed to bear a charmed life
escaping without scratch.
We have heard lots about how the
young fellows fought in that battle
but how the old fellows fought, too
eh? And this on perhaps all the har'
der from the very feeling that ht
was fighting once more for the ole
flag and a reunited country New
York Telegram.

Dispatches were received at Wash

The War Department. received a
dispatch from General Shafter ex-
planning the Garcia incident. The
differences between the two Gen

Cuban wanted to be placed in COM
mand of Santiago after it sur.
rendered, and be allowed several
thousand Spaniards to march into
the. city without opposition. Fol
this reason Gen. Shafter extended
his own lines in front of Garcia anC

WASHINGTON, July l9.-The War
Department has received Gen Miles
report of the landing of American
troops in Porto Rico.
Gen Miles progress has so far
been something Of triumphal
march. On Monday the Americans
seized the harbor of Guanica; on
Tuesday they took the town Of
Yuaco, few miles inland, and
seized the railroad leading 10 Ponce,
a few miles east; on Wednesday the
navy took possession of the port of
Ponce, and on Thursday the city Of
Ponce, prosperous place of $4,000
inhabitants, three miles inland from
the port, was surrendered not only
without shot being fired, but with
a most cordial welcome for the
Americans. When Gems. Miles and
Wilson entered the city, from
which the Spanish troops had with
drawn, the Mayor met them with
the Fire Department Band playing
Sousa marches, the people turned
out in thousands to cheer the Ameri-
cans, and the Spanish flag had al
ready disappeared. Official circu-
lars were scattered by the local
officials declaring that prosperity
came with the American invasion
and advising all citizens to obey the
American military commander.
Gen. Wilson has been made
Military Governor at Ponce. Gen
Miles assured the Mayor that the
local system would not be disturbed
for the present. Political prisoner:
were released.
The harbOr at Ponce is well suited
for landing troops, and the rest o.
the re-enforcements will be landed
there. Many lighters were cap
tured in the harbor, which simpli
fed the work of landing troops.
The splendid road from Ponce t.
San Juan offers the Spaniardi
several good points for resisting thu
American advance, and the marcel
across the island may be slow.

Prince Otto Edonard Leopold Bis
marck Schonhausen died at Fried
richsrube, Germany, last Saturday
night at II o'clock. His death came
as surprise to the world, recent
announcements having represented
his condition as improved.
Bismarck played a most wonder
full part in European history. He
was born at Schonhausen, April l,
1916; was created a count Sept. l6,
1866. and Prince Won Bismarck in
March, 1871. Between the years of
1850 aud 1862 he was Ambassador to
ST.. Petersburg and Paris, and was
then made First Minister of the
Prussian crown. Within the next
ten years he BUNDLED the Austrian
empire, destroyed the French
emOire and created the new Ger.
man empire. He remOdled the mar
of Europe, Remembering Denmark
and France. He enlarged the
frontiers of Prussia by the an.
nexation of various provinces, in.

Spaniards are Realizing That Spain Has
Been Beaten.
MANILA, July 25.-(Via Hong
Kong, July 30. THE Spaniards are
gradually realizing that Spain has
not been victorious, that the expect
ed reinforcements are not coming,
and that the contest is utterly hope
less. The insurgents are in over
whelmiDg numbers and the Span.
iards can only obtain the bare neces.
saries of life.
Only fortnight ago Spanish ma
tional pride was rampant; but it is
merging into Indignation at Spain's
feebleness and regret that they were
born Spaniards. While they will
never surrender without fight, the
Spanish officers will jump at the
first honorable opportunity to sur
render. They fear national disgrace
too much to give in without fight.
The natives are reported to be
starving by thousands, and the Eu.
rOpeans are also hard-pressed fol
fooo.

Since the Discovery There Have Been

In an article in the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, Col. j. b.
Killebrew. of Mt. Pleasant, among
other things says:
"From the best Information OBJ
tainable, 1 should judge, after ex-
aiming a number of mines and
making a conservative estimate,
that the workable phosphate within
easv reach of Mt. Pleasant is con-
tanned within 7C00 acres. 1t has an
average thickness of four feet, max
ing due allowance for the inter-
ference or "chimneys," Taking
an average of 5000 tons to the acre,
ard it will be seen that the total
quantity now in sight in the Mt.
Pleasant district is 2l,000,000 tons.
Uu to June 30, 1898, there have been
taken oIt and shipped from the Mt.
Pleasant mines 552 1867 1891 pounds,
or 246, 5S8 long tons. The shipments
have more than doubled within a
year, now Reaching about 25,Ot) tons
a month. The probability is that
| 6Nbu IlllS Will O0 OOuOlOO WANAAA
twelve months.
1T is yet too early to estimate
with absolute precision the cost OF
mining this phosphate. 1t depends
largely on the amount of stripping
to be done and the thickness of the
beds. Taking all estimates and
consolidating them, the entire cost
o, mining, including royalty and
putting upon the cars, is not faI
from $l.25 per ton. The average
number of tons mined per man pei
day after stripping varies from three
to eight tons.
There are now employed IN and
around Mt. Pleasant from 1000 tc
to 1900 persons in mining phosphate
at an expenditure of from $l2lO to
$500 per day."

Maj. Gen. Miles reports from
Ponce, Porto Rico, under date of
1886 p. n.y. having evidently re-
stored, the cable, that four. fifths of
the people are overjoyed at the ar
rival of the army; that the volun-
teers are surrendering with arms
and ammunition, and that the peo-
pie are bringing in supplies. The
costom-house has already yielded
$4,000. Ger. Miles says the army
will be ready to move on San Juan
as soon as the remaining forces
have disembarked.
The Spaniards are retreating from
Ponce. and are said to be burning
plantations and sacking villages.
They are accused of wreaking ven
geance upon non. combatants and
maltreating the women and chill
dren. Refugees are hocking into
Ponce. All tell of Spanish brutality.
Many of the political prisoners upon
their release began to foment
trouble by attacking those who
caused their arrest, but they were
promptly held in check by the
Americans.
An order has been issued for the
sending of an additional entire
army division of $4,000 men to re-
enforce Gems. Miles and Brooks in
Porto Rico. Maj. Gen. Wade will
command the division and will
select his own regiments.
News from the Spanish cor
respondent in Havana is that Gen.

Principe, there to make complaint
to the so-called Cuban Government
against Gen. Skaters action in re-
fusing to allow his men to occupy
Santiago. '
