teer Regiment Takes Possession.
Ponce, Porto Rico, via ST. Thomas
D. w. L, Aug. 2.-Colonel Rulings, with
ten companies of the Sixteenth Penn
sylvania. has occupied Juan Diaz.
about eight miles northeast Of Ponce,
on the road to San Juan. The Amer
lean flag was raised and greeted with
great enthusiasm by the populace. The
people paraded the streets with an
American flag made for the occasion.
Colonel Hullngs issued a proclamation
saying that the personal rights and
property would be respected.
General Brooke arrived Sunday even
Ing. During the afternoon seven COM
panies of the Nineteenth regular in
fantry arrived on the Cherokee.
Gable communication was opened on
Sunday night, but the line will not
be in full operation for several days.
1t is reported that General Opega is
on the way with a force of Spanish
regulars to concentrate upon Aibonito,
northeast Of Juana Diaz, on the road
to San Juan. There may be some
sharp fighting.
In spite of the brave words of the
pronunciamento Of Captain General
Macias Spanish power in Porto Rico
is rapidly crumbling. Mr.. P. c. Hanna,
United States consul at San Juan until
war was declared, gives the following
text of a dispatch received by him
from Spanish official in the northern
part Of the island:
Resistance IS impossible. The vol
unteers have refused to march, and we
have no ammunition"
Mr.. Hanna declines to give the name
of his informant, but it is known that
he has excellent secret sources OF in
formation.

might have been expected especially
in the earlier months after his retire
ment, considerable friction existed be-
tween him and the emperor
In 1893, however, the prince fell seri-
ously ILL., and the emperor sent him
telegram Of sympathy, and offered him
the use Of his castles to assist his con-
valescence. This offer the prince CRATE
fully and gracefully declined but the
exchange Of courtesies between him
and the emperor served to make very
manifest the desire Of the German peo-
pie for a reconciliation. This desire was
granted in 1895. The emperor sent
present of wine to Friedrichsruhe, and
an autograph letter congratulating the
prince on his recovery from an attack
of influenza. Prince Bismarck at once
responded to this gracious advance by
going to Berlin and paying his first
visit to the emperor since he had left
office. The emperor afterward return
ed the visit at Friederichsruhe.

HOBsoN WITH HIS MOTHER.
A Pathetic Meeting and nh Enthusias-
tic Welcome In Georgia.

tic Welcome In Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2.-Lieutenant
Richmond P Hobson, who has been
expected in Georgia ever since his ar
rival in the United States from San
tiago, Is with his mother at Lithia
Springs. The lieutenant reached At
lanta yesterday, and for several mo-
ments the naval hero was busy man.
He was kept shaking hands until each
Individual had been saluted. AT Aus
tell there was call for the distin-
guished traveller to come to the plat
form, to which he responded.
When the train pulled up at the sta
ton at Lithia Springs. where the mob
was waiting, a crowd of guests from
the Sweet Water Park hotel had gath
cred to join in the welcome. The
meeting between mother and son was a
pathetic one. The son kissed his
mother, who threw her arms around
his neck, and for several moments
rested her head upon his shoulder
shedding tears Of joy.
AS she walked up the lane from the
depot to the hotel leaning on the arm
of her boy her face was aglow. The
hotel parlors were decorated with beau
tiful flowers. Flags were draped over
the portieres and the word Welcome"
made Of green leaves, was spread over
the door. A string band furnished
music.
A public reception will be rendered
Lieutenant Hobson tonight at the gov
ernor's mansion.

AUGUST WANTS TO SURRENDER

IF Spanish Troops May March Out
With the Honors of War and Return
to Spain, While Our Troops Protect
Spaniards From Insurgents.
Hong Kong, Aug. News has been
received here from Manila that the
other day the American troops went to
the assistance of the rebels. who had
been expelled from their trenches by
the Spaniards. The latter retired be-
fore the American advance. The rebels
have been Smelling Manila from four
guns on the south side of the city.
Admiral Dewey has received word
from Captain General August that he
Is willing to surrender so soon as he
can do so honorably. 1t is believed
that he will make only show Of re-
sistance. Admiral Dewey expects to
take the city without losing a single
man. Should Dewey and Merritt begin
the attack August will propose to
capitulate on the following terms:
The Spanish troops to march out
with the honors of war: the soldiers
and officials to be permitted to return
on parole to Spain. and an assurance
to be given that the lives and prop
erty of Spaniards will be protected
from natives.
The Spanish officer who reported In
Manila the destruction of Admiral Ger
yera's squadron was treated as
traitor and was threatened with death.
While riding near Malate the other
day General Anderson narrowly es-
capped being shot by the enemy. Con-
corning Aguinaldo, Manila CORE
spondent has written to United States
Consul Wildman here as follows:
IT have not yet seen any reason to
regret your prompt action in sending
Aguinaldo here Your wisdom in doing
so was contested at the time, but the
remarkable success of the rebel leader
has proved that you were good judge
of human nature when you sized up
Aguinaldo's capabilities.
The friction between Aguinaldo and
his officers has reappeared. the latter
taking offense at his assumption OF the
role of dictator Mr.. Wildman declares
that his latest dispatches from Manila
say that Germans are now giving less
trouble. There was not much fighting
last week. The chief topic of discus
sion is report that Lecarda. Aguin-
ado's principal secretary, has either
deserted or been captured by the Span
iards.
When the French warship Pascal ar
rived at Manila the other day she neg
lected to salute the American flag
until reminded of the oversight by Ad-
miral Dewey The latter says the
health of his men has never been bet
ter since they have been on the Asiatic
station.

THE LATE PRINCE BISMARCK.
with carriage, and the physician was
driven furiously to the castle, where
he found the prince already uncon-
scious.
According to an unofficial account the
death agony was prolonged. The
prince died without taking leave of the
family. For fully an hour he suffered
terrible difficulty In breathing, and his
groans were fearful to hear during the
death struggle. His powerful consti-
tuition fought to the last. The family
gathered in an adjoining room, was
plunged into the very anguish Of grief
by the means from the death chamber
The despair was intensified by Dr.
Schweninger's absence, although medi-
cal art was unavailing. The only con-
ISOLATION was that the prince was I'M
conscious during the last two hours.
DR.. Schweninger was In time only to
afford some relief in the final moments
The last words Prince Bismarck ut
tered were addressed to his daughter,
Countess Won Rantzau, who wiped the
Precipitation from his forehead. They
were: Thanks, my child"
The prince lies as he used to sleep.
In an easy position, with his head
slightly inclined to the left. The ex-
preston on his face is mild and peace
full. 1t is remarked that his head re-
manned warN for an unusually long
time.
In accordance with Prince Bis
marcks wish he will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle, in the vicin-
ity of Hirschgruppo.

o'clock Saturday night.
On Tuesday evening an Improvement
set in in the princes codnition, in
which repeated changes for the worse
had occurred since October last, and
he was able to appear at the table and
take part In the conversation, drink

ing several pipes, which he had not
done lately.
His condition was so satisfactory that
DR.. Schweninger, after the prince had
gone to bed, left with the intention of
returning on Saturday. His condition
was comparatively satisfactory during
Friday and Saturday morning. He
read the papers and convcrsed on poll
tics, particularly referring to Russian
affairs. In the forenoon he took lunch
con, grumbling jocularly at the small
proportion of spirits In his drinking
water. Then a sudden change for the
worse occurred. in consequence Of an
acute attack Of pulmonary oedema, and

The board of naval officers appoint
ed by Admiral Sampson to report
upon the condition of the Spanish
ships which were sunk in the battle
off Santiago on July 3rd, found three
of the ships riddled by five inch
shells. The Brooklyn was the only
American vessel in the fight which
had five inch guns. This fact shows
that Commodore Schley's flagship
was in the battle in all its stages from
start to finish. The board reports
that the Marie Teresa and Cristobal
Colon can be saved. The Vizcaya
and Oquendo will be abandoned, but
their batteries and machinery may
be saved

Urbana, on last Tuesday. He has
proven himself faithful public SER
want during his four terms in Con-

thus receives again was justly due
to him. The people of his district
wanted him to continue to represent
them and if there was any opposition
to him on the part of the politicians,
it did not materialize. The resolu-

without dissent reafIirmed the

Peace between this country and
Spain is believed to be near at hand
In fact, it is stated, that the Spanish
government has accepted the peace
terms offered by the United States
and that only a few of the details of
the general plans remain to be fixed.
The terms of peace as proposed to
Spain were officially announced at
the State Department in Washing
ton Tuesday. They are the same as
previously reported -relinquishment
of Spanish authority in Cuba, cession
to the United States of Porto Rico
and the remaining Spanish islands in
the West Indies, cession of an island
in the Ladrones and the occupation
of Manila pending the conclusion OF
treaty to determine the future OF
the Philippines.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6. 1928.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H, Va, as second.class matter.

The courthouse will remain at East
VILE, to the qualification not only OF
the great body of people of North
ampton, but of their sister county as
we'll. The people Of that county said
in q way not to be mistaken that the
location selected by their forefathers,
as the most central and most con-
venient to the greatest number of its
citizens was right and just and as
such was approved by them. There
it has been for time immemorial,
there it will remain in the years to
come. and that question settled, it is
the duty now of the people of North
amptou. not to patch as they propose
to do the old courthouse, but to have
one erected in keeping with the pro-
gressive age in which we live and
which will reflect TO some extent the
enterprise, thristaud refinement of its
people. Accomac made the mistake
of re building lis old courthouse to
the dissatisfaction and regret of the
great body of her people. North
amptou, i; wise, will profit by her
mistake and build courthouse
worthy of her people
In this connection we have only to
add, in reply to an article in the
Light, that we did not allow the editor
of that paper or anyone else to in
fluence us in our views on the court
house question, and the insinuation
which he makes that there might
have been consideration for our
views in the matter is not only con-
temptible but false and malicious. 1t
was a public question which as citl
zen of the Eastern Shore We had the
right to discuss and we did it in a
way which we believed was for the
best interests of the people OF North
ampton.

Though Havana is still quiet. extra
ordinarily, ominously quiet, as calm
before storm, there is an ever in

the purpose of leaving the p, ople to

slowly tightening its bands. The bulk
of the population would already have
starved but for the supplies of man

death rate is extraordinarily high. In
some settlements half the reconcentra-
