Resistance Will Be Weak.

By Gable to The Argus.
Ponce, Aug. Amid rumors
of peace, Gen. Miles army is
sweeping on toward San Juan
from the east to the west centre.
This will compel the enemy to
concentrate their forces at the
capital.
Gen. Henry is advancing on
Arecibe. The artillery is going
to Vance, probably to threaten
Mayagnez. The army is strong
and should succeed without a set
back. The navy expects to be
called on for but very little SER

Reconnaissance at Eajardo
shows that no batteries are at
that place.
It is reported that San Juan
will offer but little resistance.

BlancO Pr0claims Amnesty,

News has just reached Wash
ington of a recent proclamation of
amnesty, in which Gen. Blanco
has made known to the Spanish
people of Cuba that spain had,
through Intervention of foreign
powers, been forced to the dis
graceful issue of suing for peace,
and that there would be no more
war and no further use for soI~
diers. He offered a pardon to all
Cuban political prisoners, and
over $50 were released in Havana.
In explaining SPANS defeat in his
proclamation, Blanco informs his
credulous readers that Spain, hav-
suffered so much in the present
war, could not resist the interior
ence of the foreign powers and go
to war with all countries at once,
so she was compelled to accede to
their dictation and sue for peace,
Havana, he says, will be given
over to Americans and Cubans,
and the Spaniards will be forced
to evacuate. He assures the sol
diers and all Spanish possessions
that free transportation will be
given them by their mother coun-
try to their destination, and they
will be protected from interior.
ence on the part of either Cubans
or Americans. He suggests that
the Cubans be forgiven and no
longer regard as enemies, and that
no unkind feeling be cherished.

Hong Kong, Aug. "Details
have just been received by a spec
cial despatch boat from Manila of
a terrific battle on the night of
July 31st, between Americans and
Spaniards at Malate.
The fighting was fierce but re-
suited in the Spaniards being res
pulsed with great loss.
Tie American and insurgent
forces were operating between
Cavite and Manila. The Spans
iards chose a dark night for the
attack, hoping to turn the Amer
leans and retake their position
by burling superior forces
against them, being three thous
and strong.
The American forces comprised
the first battalion, Tenth Penns
sylvania volunteers, first Califor-
MIA battalion, third United States
ar ti1lery and battery A, of Utah.
1t required three hours OF fierce
lighting to drive the Spaniards
back.
The American loss was nine
killed and forty four wounded.
Spanish loss was over two
Hundred killed and three hundred
wounded.
Scarcely any of the Americans
were ever under fire before and
behaved splendidly, and fought
bravely.
Malate is on Monita bay, near
Manila city.
The Spaniards attacked Amer
leans several times but the
American fire was so terrific thai
it broke the Spanish centre ano
they retreated. The Spaniards
shortly afterwards made a second
charge on the Americans bu'
again retreated to the bushes
r keeping up an incessant fire or
the road.

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
The Silver Springs Boulevard Bonds
of County Officers

vi tountN OllctT>
I \ full board was present at
the meeting Of the commission
ers Monday. Their principal
business was TO inspect and pass
upon the bonds OF the county
officials for their new term. But
as they We're getting TO their
work the following committee ap-
peapd: w. s. Bullock Judge Nc
Conathy, o. q. Finch, 3. a.
Weathers, Mayor Reardon, NJ.
Fishel, DR.. Anderson, Albert III i.
BIrdsey, ID. w. Davis, George
Mackay and S. r. Pyles.
The object of this committee
was to induce the commissioners
to build a first class macada-
mized road from the city limits
to Silver Springs.
Mayor Reardon was the first
speaker, and he said the town was
suffering from railroad oppreS-
sion and freight oppression, and
therefore Ocala and the county
were Interested. He didn't be-
lievc the failure of the banks had
done as much harm to the town
and county rs the railroads had
by their arbitrary and unrcason-
able rates.
Not so many years ago, when
the railroads were more reason
able and conSidcrate, Ocala en-
jOyed the trade Of five counties,
! but now only the trade Of 4
radius o. from five to ten miles.
Merchants at BrooksviIle, eighty
miles farther, could lay down a
barrel Of flour as cheap or cheap
er than could the merchants Of
Ocala. The attention Of the
railroads had been called to this
oppression, but no heed was
taken. He said the word county
site had meaning. 1t did not
simply mean Ocala, but alt of
Marion county and what would
assist the town would work good
for the whole county. There
should be mutualIty Of interests,
concentration Of effort at one
point, hence the reaSOnableneSS
of the price of goods in which all
consumers would be benefited.
He would not infringe on or harm
the trade of the small places,
nor would it, but rather assist.
The railroads were coercing US.
1t was time TO coerce the rail
roads and the only way to do it
was to create competition and
such opposition as would speak
for itself. River transportation
would effect this.
Ocala paid one fifth Of the
taxes Of the county. The richer
you make Ocala the more taxes
she will pay and thus help the
county.
AS the mayor retired. Char
man Carney asked Mr. Rcardon,
who has Il volume Of Florida
laws in his hand, if he haG any
legal opinion to offer on this
question, but the mayor said:
"No, I'm only posting myself on
the road laws Of the state.
Judge w. 5. Bullock spoke Of
terminal facilities at the springs
He said he had been promised
right Of way and a deed 10 all the
land needed for dOckage and
storage room free, from DR.
Hanks and Mr.. and Mrs. ID. c..
Hull. He did not wish the coun-
Uy to take any action until such
assurance was a matter Of record
He said the proposed road would
reach nearly half the way to
Grahamville and at least three
miles towards Sharps Ferry and
to that extent would serve a
double, if not triple purpose
and would meet all opposition.
