AN ENGLISH FRIEND OF SPAIN.

London, July 30.-The weekly papers
credit the United States with desire
to deal generously with Spain. The
Saturday Review says: I'VE are con-
WINGED that America will not play the
part of shylock. but now that she has
learned to appreciate the bravery and
fighting quantities Of the Spaniards. as
well as the worthlessness Of the Cuban
rebels, she will make obvious atonement
for the precipitancy with which she
entered upon the war by dealing gener-
ously with her opponents.

usual in the English press. most strong

independence or TO transfer the Philip
pires to any other power. IT is best that
the United States should assume the
heavy responsibility involved. which will
serve to bring out the best qualities Of
the American nation. England does not
desire the Philippines. and IL she did she
would not take them because she wishes
to prove that her sympathy for the
United States Is quite disinterested."

The results thus far achieved by GEN

created a feeling of intense satisfaction

graphed as follows: Spanish troops
are retreating from southern part OF
Porto Rico. Ponce and Playo have a
population OF $4,000, and are now under
the American flag. The populace re-
ceived the troops and saluted the flag
with wild enthusiasm. The navy has
several prizes, also 20 lighters. Rail-
way stock that was partly destroyed is
now restored. Telegraph communica-
tion is also being restored. The cable

sPANIARDs MADE THREATS.

London, July 30.-Mail advices from
Tangier Morocco say that the threats
of the Spanish residents there caused
the house of r. c. Partridge, the re-
firing United States consul, to be guard
ed before he left, and in addition his
successor, Samuel Gummere. was es-
corted to the consulate, which is still
guarded by Moorish troops.
The conduct OF the 5000 Spaniards gen.
orally has been calm. though there have
been a few threats to cut the cable in
order to prevent Commodore Watson
from using 1t. and i'm order to interfere
with the provisioning OF his squadron.

be of considerable Importance in the ad-
justment OF the question. An uncon-
firmed dispatch reporting Manila had
surrendered was commented on as indi-
eating that definite action without
knowledge of the exact situation at
Manila might cause a statement regard
ing conditions that did not exist The
answer of this government is likely to
be communicated TO Spain before night
fall.
The most important news received at
the war department yesterday was a
cable dispatch from General Miles an
nouncing the excellent progress being
made I'm southern Porto Rico and the
capture OF Ponce. The navy department
also received a dispatch announcing that
the navy had captured the city OF Ponce
and landed the forces under General
Miles. Both departments are very much
satisfied with what has been accom-
plished. and the tone OF both dispatches
indicates that the rivalry between the
army and navy for honors in the Span

Two orders have been issued which are
OF Importance TO the sick and wounded
troops and their friends. One author
ICES those who have been furloughed
from hospitals to report to the nearest
government post Instead of being COM
PEELED TO report 10 the hospital from
which they were furloughed. This will
allow the soldiers TO be transported
from the nearest post TO their regiments
Mt the expense of the government. Be-
fore this order was issued soldier on
furlough from a hospital could not go
home without being compelled to pay
his fare back TO the hospital point. This
will apply to men of the regular army
as well as volunteers. Another order
allows a man furloughed who has not
been paid on account OF his regiment
being away in Cuba to go 10 the nearest
