Fan. Juan. Porto Rico, Sept. s.
Maj.-Gen. John r. Brooke, his staff
and escort have completed two-thirds
of their journey across the island to

On Saturday Gen. Brooke stopped at
Cayey. Sunday he reached Caguas, 20
miles from here. Yesterday afternoon
he entered Rio Pedras, one of the aris-
tocratic suburbs of San Juan, where
he will establish his headquarters.
Gen. Brooke accepted the hospitality
of Capt.-Gen. Macias, who graciously
offered the use of his private residence.
The column, though small, is impos-
ing and making a deep impression.
AS it wound its way over stately
mountains, covered to their SUBMITS
with coffee and tobacco plantations
and through broad savannahs and
valleys, Gen. Brooke, with his chief
of staff, rode at the head of the col
unn. The natives, who had news of
the coming of the Americans, lined the
roads, their actions showing their
pleasure, although there vas no dem
onstration. At intervals along the
way the Spanish soldiers of the guard
civil presented arms as our troops
passed.
At Cayey and Cagnas the Spanish
commanders received Gen. Brooke
with marked courtesies. The Spanish
buglers gave the flourishes in honor of
n majOr-general on our arrival. The
infantry and cavalry companies were
visited by the Spanish soldiers.
There vas no display whatever OF

Americans mingled freely, fra~ternizing

Already many of the American soldiers
are buttOnlcss.
Spanish flags flew at CIyey and
Caguas, but as guests in IN enemy's
country we showed no coIors save the

Our stalwart soldiers and massive
horses cause ccaseless wonder to the
natives, accustomed to men of small
stature and nimble-footed little ponies.
Gen. Brooke will have arrived here
in advance of the American commits.

The Disaster Described by an Eyewitness.

me DlodsAtE ny an
Cornwall, Ont, Sept. 7.-An eyewit-
ness of the fall of the New York &
Ottawa railroad bridge, say he was.
sitting ON the bank of the river watch
ing the workmen above him. when
there came a fearful crash. Two spans
of the bridge collapsed, and the
immense mass of timber and
iron dropped. Then he saw.
bodies coming to the surface and the.
work of rescue began. This was help
lessly inadequate, there being only a
few boats in the vicinity, and very few
men who would undertake to swim out
into the turbulent waters. Many who
might have been saved were drowned
before help could reach them.
Mangled bodies came to the surface
for a moment and then passed out of
sight. Even those who were got to
land alive were in such a condition.
that many died on the way to the hos.
pital. Some had their backs broken,
others both legs, while others were =.
crushed by the heavy irons.
About so of the men employed on the
span were Americans who came here
to work for the Phoenix Bridge Co.
The remainder were mostly Indians
who acted as assistants. Every man
on the division went down with the
wreck. Many of those who escaped
climbed up the work which still
rested on the piers at either end.
The scene around the Hotel Dieu,
where the wounded and dying were
taken, is heartrending.
