MESSAGE FROM WHITE.
United States Ambassador White at
noon today sent the following dispatch
to Count Herbert Won Bismarck at
Friedrichsruhe:
On behalf of the whole American people,
whether official or unofficial, and of whatever
birth or descent, I tender congratulations
upon the mighty career now ended, and as
surances Of the most sincere sympathy for
yourself and your mourning family.
Pastor Dyke, in the course Of his
sermon today at the American church,
referred feelingly to the death Of Bis
marck, and emphasized the coincidence
of the demise almost simultaneously
of two such men as Bismarck and
Gladstone.
At the office of the mareschal Of the
court 1t was said this evening that DR.

ESCANABA, Mich, July 31.-Next to
the greatest fire Escanaba has ever
had is raging now and is beyond the
control of the fire department.
About 7:30 this evening fire was dis
covered in the hay in the rear part Of
Patrick Fogarty's flour and feed store,
and in few seconds it spread to the
front part Of the building, used as res
wind was blowing, and the flames rap
idly ran from this building into Els
worth's drug store.
Inside of twenty minutes a quarter
of block was a mass Of flames. The
fire spread until it reached Patrick
Finnigan's double brick building on
the west end of the block destroying
the stores Of Patrick Fogarty, feed; E.
B. Woorth, dry goods; the 500 Line
ticket Office and the Western Express;
E. Oliver, A. KrautZ's double clothing
store, Paul Oehlefeldt's jewelry store,
Long & Co.'s tea store and John Omar's
bakery.
On the northern half Of the block
Kaufman's sale stable is burning, and
nearly all the other buildings are on
fire. So intense is the heat that the
frame and solid brick stores across the
streets are burning, and nothing can
save them. The firemen and citizens
are doing heroic work, but are not
checking the fire. The Escanaba bank,
a solid brick block, is on fire. Losses,
not half covered by insurance, will
reach the 100000 mark. Electric light
wires are all burned, and the city is
in darkness.
The Catholic church, school and sew
eral buildings south of the fire were
on fire and only saved by the most
strenuous efforts.

CAMP THOMAS SURPRISED.
The Order to Gen. Wade Had Not

CTIICKAMAUGA, Ca, July 81. = A
genuine surprise was sprung at Camp

dered to report forthwith to the Sec
retary of war at Washington.
In compliance with the order, Gen.
Wade and the following members Of
his staff proceeded Immediately to
Chattanooga and left thence at 10
o'clock tonight for Washington: Maj.

There was no indication at Camp

purpose of the order. but it had the

smoking 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 cond1-
ton was comparatively satisfactory
throughout Friday and Saturday morn
Ing. He read the Nachrichten and con-
versed on politics, particularly refer
ring to Russian affairs. In the forenoon
he took luncheon, grumbling jocularly
at the small proportion Of spirits in his
drinking water.

quently became unconscious.
Recently, besides periods Of unusual
mental clearness, the prince had had
intervals of drowsiness, falling into
long, sound and beneficial sleep, on
awakening from which he would be
completely refreshed.
"On Saturday evening grave symp-
toms appeared. Death came easily
and painlessly. The last words Prince
Bismarck uttered were addressed to his
daughter, Countess Won Rantzau, who
wiped the perspiration from his fore
head. They were, Thanks, my child

bedside at the time Of death, and DR..
Schweninger, DR.. Crysanther and Bar

ent AS no breathing movement or
pulse was perceptible for three min
utes, DR.. Schweninger declared quietly
and simply that the prince was dead.
"Dr. Schweninger telegraphed the
news to Emperor William, in Norway.
"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. It is remarked that his head re-
mained warm for an unusually long
time. In accordance with Prince Bis
marck's wish, he will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle in the vi
cinity of Hirschgruppe."
SEVERE SUFFERING.
When DR.. Schweninger arrived at
| Friedrichsruhe railway station shortly
| after 10 o'clock Saturday evening, the
| two Counts Won RantZau were waiting
with a carriage, and the physician was
driven rapidly to the capitol, where
| he found the prince already uncon-
| scious. The prince died without taking
| leave of the family. For fully an hour
| he suffered terrible difficulty in breath
| Ing, and his groans were fearful to
hear during the death struggle. He
had been placed in sitting position
and propped up with cushions in order
to relieve the frightful spasms in
breathing. His powerful constitution
fought to the last.
The family, gathered in an adjoining
room, were plunged into an anguish OF
grief by the means from the death
| chamber. The despair was intensified
| by DIR. Schweninger's absence, al
| though medical art was unavailing. The
only consolation was that the prince
| was unconscious during the last two
hours. DR.. Schweninger was in time
| to afford some relief in the final mo-
| ments.

ADVANCE ON PONCE.
The Invading Army Welcomed by
the People of Porto Rico.

The Invading Army Welcomed by
the People of Porto Rico.
PORT OF PONCE, Porto Rico, July
29.-Without seeing or hearing any
thing of the enemy, the advance guard
Of Gen. Henry's division, which land
ed at Guanaca on Thursday, arrived
here today, taking en- route the cities
of Yauco, Talubo, Sabana, Grande and
Ponulas. Attempts by the Spanish to
blow up bridges and otherwise destroy
the railway between Yauoo and Ponce
failed, only a few fiat cars being burn
ed. Our troops have fired up the loco
motives and are now operating the
read from end to end, carrying sup
plies, messages and men.
At Yauco the Americans were well
coined in an address made by the al
calde, and a public proclamation was
issued dated "Yauco, Porto Rico, Unit
ed States Of America, July 28." Maj.
Webb Hayes, of the Sixth Ohio, son of
President Hayes, hauled up the flag on
the palace amid cheers from the pop
ulace.
The people seemed really glad that
the Americans had arrived, but feared
an uprising Of the natives in the in
terror, who, it was asserted, would rob,
kill and destroy property, in revenge
for many years Of Spanish misrdle
Gen. Henry made report to this effect
to Gen. Miles and advised that guard
be left to protect the captured cities.
The empty transports have left Cor
Tampa. A delegation Of nurses of the
Red Cross society from the hospital
ship Lampasas waited on Gen. Henry
at Guanaca yesterday and asked to be
allowed to return home with the sick.
They said their supplies had given out,
and the condition on board their ship,
which was crowded with patients, was
terrible. They were willing to go back
at once.
Gen. Miles is in constant communica-
ton with all his force and is keeping
the artillery steadily in advance. By
tomorrow he will have the entire army
encamped along the military road to
San Juan, but he does not say when
he will put them in motion. He is
acting throughout, however, with a
promptness which indicates quick ac-
tion all along the line as soon as the
transports containing the remaining
troops arrive.
A corrected list Of the injured in the
first days battle at Guanaca follows.
All the injured belong to the Sixth
Massachusetts,:
Capt. Edward Gijon, shot in left hip.
Private James Drummond, Company K, shot
twice in the neck.
Private Benjamin Bernock, Company K,
shot in the right shoulder.
Corporal William Carpenter, Company L,
shot in the right hand.
Corporal Henry Gary, Company K, shot in
the neck.
Sergeant George Carleton, of Battery
B, Fifth siege artillery, died from ty-
phoid fever, and was buried at once.
This makes five deaths from that dis
ease on the transports. Q
Private Arthur Draper, Of Company
M, Sixth Massachusetts, has been pro-
NOTED to a heutenancy for gallantry
in action. On Tuesday he led the final
charge which drove back the Span
iards. He is the son of Gen. William
F. Draper, American ambassador to
Italy.
Outside of typhoid fever on the trans
| ports and at Guanaca, the general
health of the army continues excel
lent, and there has been no trace of
yellow fever thus far.

Gen. Garretson's brigade is massed
at Yauco, the terminus of the railway,
fifteen miles off, and will probably re-
main there until the artillery Is ready
to move, but 1t is thought the artil-
lery will be brought here Immediately.
The railway is in good order, but
much Of the rolling stock has been de-
stroyed. Yesterday Gen. Roy Stone
found several engines wrecked. The
machinery had been dismembered by
Spanish sympathizers at the round
house and the parts hidden.
Gen. Stone gave them two hours to
get the engines ready for use on pain
Of Imprisonment. In less time than
that they had steam up.
MAY MAKE A STAND
The Spaniards have retired as far as
Caimbon, on the road to San Juan,
where they are likely to make a stand
If they receive reinforcements. They
left here wit. out artillery, which makes
1t obvious that an attack at this point
was not expected. The forts were small
and poorly armed. There is not mine
in the harbor of Ponce, although two,
covered by barrels, were found in the
harbor Of Guanaca. These had been
placed there eight years ago, and re-
sisted all effort to explode them.
1t is evident from the desertion Of
the Spanish volunteers that Capt Gen.
Machias, as a last resort, must depend
upon the regulars These do not num-
Der 5000 in the whole island, and an
easy conquest Of the island is expected.
Gen. Wilson says he could take the ISL
and with the troops already here, and
predicts that, with the forces now on
the way, Porto Rico will be ours in less
than three weeks.

AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY
~ MI Il -
Pleased VITA the Gar, England. Pres. Nc
kinley and Others.

Boston, Sept. 26.-The first regular
autumn meeting of the board OF di-
rectors of the American Peace Society
was held at the society's rooms, today.
Robert Treat Paine. the president of
the society. presided. The following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved. that we have learned with
the greatest satisfaction of the action
Of the Emperor 1f Russia in issuing an
invitation to all the powers represented
at st. Petersburg, to hold conference
for the discussion of the question of a
reduction of ornaments. We regard
this action of the sovereign of one of
the greatest powers on earth as among
the most important steps ever taken
for the promotion of internationally,
and of more Christian and stable
civilization"
A resolution was passed expressing
appreciation of the fact that President
Mckinley had so quickly and cordially
notified the Car of Russia that this
government approved of the proposed
conference in the interest Of interna-
tional peace and will send a represen-
tative to it when held.
The board also adopted a resolution
declaring that, in view OF the present
widespread feeling of friendliness be-
tween the people of this country and
Great Britain, the time Is opportune
for the reopening of negotiations for a
permanent treaty of arbitration be-
tween the two nations and urging the
President to proceed in the matter at
the earliest practicable moment.
1t was voted to send to President
Mckinley protest against any perma-
nent enlargement of the army or navy
Of the United States except what may
be absolutely necessary for police pur-
poses.
