Washington, d. c.. July 2I.-Nothing
was heard from the Miles expedition
today at the war department. but Cap
tain Higginson, the senior officer Of the
naval convoy, forwarded a brief cable
gram that gave keen delight to the
navy department because of the un-
stinted praise it accorded to a popular
and dashing officer, "Dick" Vain
wright, the commander of the liUtle
Gloucester. Wainwright, having been
commended by his superior, Higgin-
son, for his action at Guanica. enjoys
the solitary distinction of being the
only officer attached TO Simpsons fleet
who has been twice officially commend
ed since the war began.
Captain Higginson's dispatch is as
follows:

The war department has reconciled
itself to the summary change in its
plans made by General Miles when he
landed at Guanica, instead of on the
northern coast Of Porto Rico. as pre-
viously agreed upon. It is surmised that
he was led tt make this change by rea-
son Of the retention Of his lighters. and
foresaw a weeks delay in effecting a
landing unless he went in where he did
and ran his troops and artillery direct
ly ashore. He thus has avoided expos
ing his troops to the hardships suffered
by Skaters men. as they lay for some
days off Santiago. 1t is also suggested
that the general has scored an import
ant diplomatic advantage in setting
foot upon Porto Rican soil before the
first overtures had been received from
Spain looking towards peace.

CHIEF QUESTION IN PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS,
A Gloomy View of the Matter Taken
in Some Quarters, Where 1t Is Fear
ed the European Powers Will Make
Trouble-Cabinet Said to Be Di-
vided on the Question.

Washington, b. c., July 2S.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Philippines are a source of
worry to the president. This will be
the chief question to be discussed in
peace negotiations. 1t is thought in
some quarters that interference is like
ly and thai Europe does not propose to
allow the United States to occupy the
islands.
A rupture with foreigners and stormy
scenes are expected by some members
of the diplomatic corps. However, "our
flag will not come down. says the
president. 1t is reported that there is
a possibility that an effort to settle this
delicate problem will result in a divi-
sion of the cabinet. The president will
probably answer Sagasta's request that
hostilities be suspended from Sunday
on, late this afternoon.

war. This expedition was carried on

ports describe the landing as a fail

including a lieutenant, were killed.
This is the usual Spanish exaggera-
ton. A lot Of supplies carried by the
OWanderer had been landed and sent
into the territory beyond Spanish
reach when an overwhelming force Of
Spanish troops appeared and compelled
the abandonment OF the attempt to
land the remainder. None OF the Amer
lean party were killed, but four were
wounded. Their injuries are slight and
they we're put ashore at Key West, to
which port the Wanderer returned. The
vessel has made another start for the
western part OF Cuba. this time with a
naval convoy to prevent interruption
with her work. and it is believed be-
fore this time she has succeeded in dis
charging her whole cargo.

thanks his stars for the change. He
now has a fine ranch and splendid
waterway with 1900 large, smooth Me-
rinos Of the French sort. For two years
he has cleaned up a profit OF 81 per head
on every sheep. Mr.. Garlock says his
ewes are worth $3.50 and he e
$3.50 for his wether lambs. Last sea-
son he bought 1886 Idaho ewes that
cost him $2.25 laid down in Wyoming.
The wool and lambs from these ewes
paid first cost and are easily worth
$3.50 today. He expects to have a flock
OF 10000 in another year and thinks
this better than farming in Livingston

An Aged Wyoming Man Commits Sui
eide by Drowning.
A dispatch from Lander says: E. c..
Burnaugh, an old man of Is years OF
age, drowned himself this morning at
s O'Clock in the Little Wind river, three
or four miles below Fort Washakie, on
the Shoshone Indian reservation. 1t is
not known what compelled him to do
the rash deed, but it is thought that
failing health was partly the cause of
it.
Mr.. Burnaugh was an old-time Wyo-
ming man, having come to this country
when he had to fight the Indians. He
accumulated quite a large fortune, but
by mismanagement had lost it and he
bIooded over this considerably. OF late
he has been badly crippled up with
rheumatism, and was stopping with
his son, Emery Burnaugh, who lives on
the reservation near the Washable hot
springs. and was bathing in them %
see If they would not help him, but he
got worse. This morning he put an end
to his troubles, going at it in a most de-
liberate manner. He undressed him
self, folded up his clothes neatly, took
out his false teeth. put them with his
clothes. and placed them on the bank
OF the river. He then waded out into
the water to a depth Of eighteen inches
and held his head under the water I'M
til drowned. When found he was dead,
having only left his sons house fifteen
minutes before.

DENIES FALSE REPORTS.
Vessels Are Allowed All Freedom at
Santiago.

Washington, July 27.-The war de-
partment. today made public the follow
ing, received from General Shafter in
response to the query by the depart
ment as to ships being turned away
from Santiago:
Santiago, via Hay,i. July 26. 1917 a.
m.-Adjutant General U. S. A. Wash
ingtcn: Press reports are not true. l
only know of three Ships having arriv-
ed, one from Kingston, the Others from
the United States. The Bratton has
sold its largo the other. a ship from
New Orleans has sold only a part of it
and tells me he is going away tonight.
I think he will sell before he leaves.
The trouble is they did net expect to
pay any duty and arrived here without
money. The Spanish customs, as APP
piled to Spanish subjects have only
been collected and the 90 cents per ton
as ordered by the secretary. I discov-
cred this morning an attempt on the
part Of the municipality to collect a tax
of 40 cents per 100 kilos, in this in
stance amounting to s., 500. I had al
ready settled this matter by ordering
it's non~-collection. The fact is there is
no money here to do business and
merchants are very tfmid about max
ing purchases, fearing the effect OF the
