The march of Gen. Miles through Por-
to Rico has been one of the most pleas
ing and remarkable feats of the war
Landing in the middle of July upon a hos
tile shore he has advanced gradually
through the island, until now we find him
in virtual possession of Porto Rico. No
sickness, no casualties was the brief dis
patch sent by Gen. Miles to the war de-
partment the day after the safe landing
one that, many times repeated, might have
formed the daily bulletins, since though
many engagements have taken place.
Landing his transports at Guanica, Gen.
Miles announced to the natives and Span
ish alike, that he would shed no blood
unless bloodshed were necessary. Outside
Guanica 1t became necessary to fire into
a Spanish garrison but the guns were
aimed high and only three of the enemy
suffered from the volley of shells.
With this humane principle before him,

In a swampy state would have caused a

The military road along which the army
is now encamped is the finest in the world.
1t runs from Ponce eastward to Juan Diaz
and into the interior pass Coamo, Aibonito,
Cayey Caquas, Aquas Buenas, Guaynabo
and Rio Piedres finally terminating at San
Juan on the northern coast. The road is
more than 100 miles long, with most of its
length extending through the most hostile
part of Porto Rico.
Everywhere the American army has
raised Its flag until its progress can be
marked by the Stars and Stripes as they
wave. In some of the towns a friendly
enemy was found and here the ceremony
of flag raising was a merry one. At other
points skirmish was necessary but this
was short and not very sharp owing to the
kind heartedness of The commander.
Gen. Miles has fed his army wei. Fruits
have been furnished them and all the del

One soldier wrote home that instead of
being ready for a hospital as he was when
he left Cuba, he was ready now for anoth-

ment.
When the music ceased the house was
swept with torrent of braves. The
applause was almost deafening and con-
tinued for several minutes. Remenyi
and his accompanies, Il. 5. Rosner.
came forward and in response to another
burst of applause the great violinist
commenced to play 'Delibes' PiNicati."
He completed a few verses when he
leaned forward as If to speak to one OF
the musicians in the orchestra, contin-
uing his piece He seemed to pause fof
a minute and then slowly fell forward
on his face. One of the musicians caught
him before he touched the stage and
prevented him from rolling off. He was
carried from the stage and physicians
were Immediately summoned, but the
aged musician was past medical aid. The
doctors worked upon him for some time
ReIhenyi had seemed overwhelmed at
the great reception given. After playing
his first selection, he said to a friend be-
hind the stage: Wonderful, IA wonder

Ensign Bagley Had Premonitions OF
Danger That Haunted Him.

Key West. May 14.-The death of
Ensign Bagley recall a story written
after an interview with him on April
20. which was suppressed by the censor,
who feared that it might cause Bagley' S
friends unnecessary alarm.
From the Herald's dispatch boat Al
bert Il. Dewey | had boarded the Wins
low to take papers and news bulletins
to Lieutenant Bernadou. After taking
for some minutes with him / turned to
Ensign Bagley with some remark
about troubles which had befallen his
fellow executive officers of the torpedo
fleet. His rejoinder was:
Yes, ! hear that Boyd (of the tor
pedo boat Cushing) is in trouble
through no fault of his own. That
puts it right UP to me. I'm sorry about
Boyd, for l am sure that the accident
to the Gushing was not due to his care
lessness. Now, l suppose yon will say
that | am superstitious, but | must adj
nit that the fatalities which have pur-
sued us have given me some moments of
sombre thought.
There was poor Breckenridge, my
classmate. executive officer of the Cush-
ing, who was swept overheard between
Key West and Havana and drowned.
The Boastwick, executive officer of the
Ericsson, who was knocked overheard III
a collision with Il schooner, had his chest
caved in and was all but drowned. He
is now slowly recovering. Baldwin, exc
cutive officer of the Gushing, successor
to Breckenridge and predecessor of Boyd,
took his turn next. He was Knocked
down an open hatchway and had his
ribs broken. He will not be out of the
hospital until the war is over.
There they are four 'Bs-Breckin-

never been superstitious, but for week
L have had mysterious intuitions that |
am not to escape. l will make the list
complete-of that | am certain. | only
hope that my trouble viii not be serious
enough to take me out of the fight"
Bagley's closing remarks were made
in a laughing manner, as though hi
would not have me take them seriously.
Yet it was easily seen that the Fremont
ton of serious trouble had taken a
strong hold upon him. At any rate. the
fate of the BIS" is complete. and the

CHAMBERLAIN CRITICISED.
His Birmingham Speech Provoked Much
Comment.

London, May 16.-The speech of Mr..
Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, at Birmingham Friday night,
has provoked an unusual amount of
comment in every European capital,
many papers regarding it as an unstates-
man-like display of the country's weak
ness by the admission that Great Brit
ain is unable to cope with Russia with
out the assistance of an ally.
Others think it indicates dissension
between Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Cham
berlain; but the preponderating opinion
is that Mr.. Chamberlain was used to
make an announcement which Lord
Salisbury, as Premier and Foreign Min
ister. could not make without impro-
priety.

off Charleston, about nine miles from
Charleston at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon
after having been at sea for three days
and seeing nothing of the Spanish cruis-

locality. The pilots were dropped at
Cape Henry on Friday night, and the

tie preparations were made. Port holes
were closed with steel covers, battle
matches covered, the main batteries, of
the ships loaded and men sent to the
guns with instructions for a night watch
to bekept. With all lights eXtinguishe0
the squadron proceeded in an southeast
erly direction. Toward morning several
heavy fog banks were run into and dur
ing one of these intervals the collier
Sterling became detached. To wait for
her was partly the reason that anchorage
was made, although Commodore Schley
communicated at once with Washington
and the Navy Department. The official
incident of the trip from Hampton Roads
was the holding up Of a steamer that did
not explain its flag. The Scorpion was sent
after and soon overhauled her. She pro-
