WEPT AND MOANED.
Spanish Soldiers Shed Tears on De-
 parting from Porto Rico.

San Juan, Island of Porto Rico, Septem- Der H.-Delayed in transmission.)-The Spanish transport San Francisco sailed for Spain today. There was a repetition of yesterdays scene when the Asturia's bat talion of Spanish troops marched to the wharf for embarkation.
 Captain General Macias and staff re- viewed the parting soldiers, who bade fare well to their sweethearts and wives. Some of the soldiers wept profusely, and there was quite a pathetic aspect to the affair.
 As the ship swung away from the pier the soldiers on board of her raised a faint cheer and the women proceeded to the sea wall. where they stood for hours waving their handkerchiefs until the San Francisco was only a speck on the horizon.
 The Spaniards at the meetings of the military commissions are raising many questions regarding the civil administra- tion of the island and the disposition of pubic property; but the American commis- sioners refuse to discuss them as being be- yond their jurisdiction. Our commissioners are disposed to allow the Spaniards to carry off lot of useless old material rather than make a fight to retain it.

The Fall Fashions

New York Letter to Pittsburg Dispatch
 Fall fashions for men, as well as for women, have come to town, and on every hand we see the effects of the war Each sartorial development, each new trick of the trade, is set forth to what, the perpe- traitors plainly think, the very best advan- tage, namely, by putting it upon Admiral Dewey. Elevated stations, shop windows bill boards and ash barrels, up town. down town and all around the town, are gay with beautiful posters, representing additional Dewey in various developments of all fash ions. If proof were wanting of the pop ularity of the hero of Manila, this would settle it. The spirit that prompted Admiral DeWeys being made use of in this way is no respecter of localities. Thus we have Admiral Dewey in a Fifth avenue frock coat, Admiral Dewey in a Hester street derby hat and Admiral Dewey in Four teenth streets newest inspiration as to waistcoats All kinds, grades and quali- ties of garments are considered to be best set off when worn by the admiral He is looked upon as becoming to all of them and that they are not equally becoming to him evidently counts for little. In the Hester street derby, for instance, he looks more like pirate than the hero that he Is. while most of the other garments gratuit- ously bestowed upon the portrait change It's expression to an extent that may be com pared to taking the wind out of his sails. Fame has it's penalties, and for Admiral Dewey not the least of these is b, qg made to serve as a model upon which 10 hang the new fall styles.

The sailors began a career of dissipation and were promptly killed. The sovereign ty of the United States was at end and the flag came down. There was never any attempt made to put the flag back, and in 1S42 France assumed a protectorate over the islands. which she retains to this day. The area of the islands is 4S0 square miles and their population about 60OO.
 The truth is that our prestige in the Pa cific suffered somewhat at about this time. Porter alone could not maintain sovereign ty. He reached Valparaiso February 3, 1874, and there found the British frigate Phoebe, thirty-six guns, under Captain Hillyar, with the Cherub, twenty-two guns The two ships had about twice as many guns and about twice many sea- men as had Porter and they had been in- structed to capture Porter and destroy his vessels at any cost They blockaded Por- ter's ships. The captain, after a few days, decided to make run for 1t, such as Ger vera made at Santiago, but with as poor success. The Essex injured one of it's sails and was forced to make a stand. The result was one of the bloodiest battles of the war of 1872 When at last the Essex was helpless wreck and on fire and his magazine was threatened when of the 225 brave men who went into the fight on board of her only seventy-five effective ones remained, Porter hauled down his flag.
 There was no disgrace attaching to his defeat, and on Porters return home-the war then being ended-he was called the hero of the Pacific and made much of by his countI.ymen. But Admiral Porter used to say that his fathers regret to his dying day was that the United States did not re- tain possession of the Marquesas. or as he called them, the Madison islands.
