 .. PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 15-Notifi- cation of the signing of the protocol reached Porto Rico just in time to pre- vent several battles which might have resulted in the driving of the Spaniards from the island. The forces of the United States were advancing in sev- :eraT strong columns.
 There was a slight skirmish yester- day on the road between Mayaguez and eLares The Eleventh Infantry. of Gen eral Schwan'S brigade. fought with a column of Spaniards who had been in retreat. Colonel De Soto, the Spanish commander, and two of his officers were captured.
 :: Another battle was narrowly averted at Aib0nitO. General Wilson succeeded in communicating with General Otsego. commander of the Spanish forces there It was arranged that neither side should advance, and flags of truce flut- tered from both the American and the Spanish picket lines.
 General Brooke eventually pursued the same plan at Guayama, which he had invested. Had it not been for the .ffmely arrival of Lieutenant McLaugh- lin of the signal corps on Saturday there would have been a battle at C4uayama, which would have given a different turn to the war in Porto Rico Had the young signal officer arrived there three minutes later shells from field guns would have been screaming across Cavitas Valley. They would have been answered, too, for the in .dications were that the enemy was 1T strong force

Comfort to Manila.
 ON BOARD THE RIO DE JA- NERO, HONOLULU, July 1.-For the first day or two out from San Francisco a great deal of trouble was experienced in furnishing sufficient and properly cooked food to the S46 enlisted men of the First South Dakota Infan- try. recruits for the Utah Light Artil- Iery and detachment of the Signal Corps. But through the untfr1ng ef- forts of Lieutenant Murray, regimental ouartermaster of the First South Da- kota Infantry, who is acting commits sary of the expedition, the trouble was soon overcome. A regular army officer on board, who holds a responsible po- sition on the staff of General Merritt, said:
 "I have never before seen soldiers better fed on land or sea-
 The steamer is not crowded. The saloons. promenade decks and other parts of the ship which are used for pleasure on ordinary voyages are still employed for the purpose for which they were designed. During the day the men spend most of their time on the hurricane deck and all meals are served to them on that deck. The Rio de Janeiro is probably better fitted out so far as the comforts, of the officers and men are concerned than any of the transports that have preceded her to Manila.
 The health of the command mas been exceptionally good.

Fashoda Question Serious.

LONDON, September 16.-The Fa-
shoda question between England
and France has entered upon a
grave stage. All the elements Of
rupture are provided by the situa-
ton. There is no mistaking the
stern determination Of the English
people that Fashado shall not be-
long to France.
The French press, on the other
hand, notably the semi-official
"Temps," has been steadily stiffen-
ing in the resolve to hold Major
Marchand's prize.
News of the result of Kitchener's
advance to Fashado is therefore
awaited with keenest anxiety. Kit
chener did not start for Fashoda
without fresh instructions from his
Government. This fact renders the
situation more serious, for if Kit
ehener adopts hostile measures
against the French explorer, he will
be acting under express authority
from the British Government.

Chinese in Hawaii.

AS The Call has ceaselessly insist
ed would be the case, the annexa-
ton party in Hawaii is out for a
continuance Of Chinese labor aud
immigration in that country.
BY late advices we learn that the
points made are:
First-The Hawaiian Chinese are
much superior to their countrymen
in California.
Second-The exclusion laws Of the
United States we're intended only
for the continental territory of the
United States, and to extend them
to extra-continental territory since
acquired will be going beyond the
intentions of the last treaty with
China.
Third-Chinese labor is indispen-
sable in Hawaii. 1t does not COM
pete with white labor, which cannot
live there. The industries OF the
islands will fail and the planters will
be ruined unless Chinese labor is
permitted.
Fourth-The Chinese are orderly
and law abiding, unlike the more
truculent and uneasy Japanese, and
therefore should not be discrimina-
ted against.
A traverse OF these grounds will
convince our readers of the absolute
correctness of The Calls position in
opposing the annexation of Hawaii
in the interest of the sugar produo-
ton and labor OF this coast.
1t is not true that white labor can
be used as a substitute for eoolie
labor in Hawaii, and President Dole
knew it when he pretended to want
such labor taken there. We have
insisted that after this country was
hoodwinked into annexation it's Ha-
waiian promoters would have to Sc
cure lawful permission to use coolie
labor or submit to the commercial
decay of the islands. OF course
they denied this, but the demands
they are now making of the commits
sion which is framing a government
for them prove the insincerity of
their denial.
We desire to say that this is bad
time to bring home from Hawaii a
code of coolie laws. 1t is not with
any pleasure that we say this, not
even with the feeling of satisfaction
which goes with saying 81 told you
So"
But it is with profound regret
that we contemplate the situation,
and it will be with regret that we
will continue to apprise the people
OF what is going on before the COM
mission at Honolulu, where the ar
gument is being made that the
United States must abandon its po-
icy Of equality before the law, its
one system under one written con-
stitution, and vary its legislation to
fit various conditions, 80 that what
are the rights of an American citi-
zen under the flag in one place will
be denied to him under the same
flag in another place.
Such change is SO serious in it's
import and it's far-stretching effects
as to cause the greatest disquiet
even when only proposed. What
will it cause when it is accomplish
