DISPATCH BOAT, off San Juan De Puerto
Rico, Aug. 5, via st. Thomas, d. w. l.,
Aug. 5.-The Americans have taken peace
full possession of the eastern portion of the
island. Small parties of marines have been
landed, who have lighted lamps in the light
house at Cape San Juan and other light
houses along the coast. They met with no
resistance. Indeed, at Cape San, Juan depu-
tations of citizens came cut to meet them.
The war ships now in this vicinity are the
Montgomery, the Annapolis, the Puritan
and the Amphitrite. The two former are
looking for the transports with troops,
which left the United States and have scat
tered all about the island. The Annapolis
rounded up the Whitney, the Florida and
the Raleigh yesterday and they are now at
Cape San Juan. There seems to have been
a serious mistake as to the rendezvous, for
no two ships got to the same place and it
will take several days to locate them and
get them to Ponce. where General Miles is

Officers of the Sixth Regiment May BE
Sent Home in Disgrace.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. - Two messages
were received at the War Department to-
day from Ponce, the first announcing the
death of brilliant young army officer and
the second, from General Miles himself.
touching the trouble in the Sixth Massa-
chusetts Regiment which was the subject
of official inquiry by Secretary Alger yes
terday. Details of the latter telegram are
not obtainabe, but it is apparent that Cen
eral Miles is determined to repress sternly,
at the very beginning, any departure from
military discipline, even among the volun-
teer element in his command AS near as
can be gathered, the officers of the Sixth
declined to submit to an examination which
was prescribed by the brigade officers, the
proper authority, and on the insistence of
the latter they sought to resign their COM
missions. General Miles himself is dealing
with the case, and If he should decide to
allow these officers to resign or discharge
them from the service of the United States.
and the latter is possible, the Governor of
their successors.
1t can be said that up to this time the
officials are thoroughly satisfied with Cen
eral Miles's conduct of the Porto Rican
campaign, and they do not hesitate to admit
that the events that have occurred since
his landing at Guanico fully justify the ar
bitrary change made by him in the carefully
laid plans of the department for the con-
duct of the campaign.

from Porto Rico says: "Of the Sixth Mas
sachusetts officers, the colonel, lieutenant
colonel, three majors and three captains
resigned. They were charged with incom-
potency and lack of discipline. The trouble
in the Sixth Massachusetts is partly at
tributed to the fact that white officers re-

end in a separation, which will be- in effect,
a disbandment'
