NEW York. Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Ponce says:
Senior Roman Lopez. editor Of La Cor
respondencia de Puerto Rico. the principal
journal OF the island, which Is published
In San Juan. has arrived at Ponce.
"san Juan" he said, has been cut OF
from the world since the war began /
could only print Official bulletins issued
by the government. regarding sae preg-
ress OF the war II WAS weeks after the
battle OF Manila before the government
sxsued q bulletin admitting defeat The
news Of the destruction OF Csrvera's feet
reached Sar Juan the day after !; happen
ed. but / was not permitted TO pr.Dt even
z. rumor for ten days. Later Cart Gen
Aac.as Issued a bulletin stating that six
American vessels had been sunk He de-
csared the SIX included two battleshipe.
THE truth Was never published IN San
~. The same secrecy was observed when
Santiago surrendered. Early in the war
the citizens of San Juan. who are extreme
nouI,cements Of victory, but after Santiago
fell they lost hope. Even the most ram
pant Spaniards began 70 admit THAI Spain
was no, able TO fight the United states.
Before the Americans landed in Porto
Rico many citizens OF San Juan organ
lied % defend the island After the land
ing they began 20 hear stories of the
army, and the regiment was disbanded.
We had little news of the progress OF the
campaign 10 Porto Rico. but could easily
tell that things were going against the
Spantards. | was permitted to print moth
Ing about the American success: neyerthe-
less. the fact crept into San Juan, greatly
discouraEing the Span:Ards among tae pop
ula ton
"Macias maintained q bold front and
maintained his waning authority. For
weeks ! have been expecting 20 &c awak-
We feared boEbasdment and siege. Ey-
erybody reaiizex that the city could not
have been successfully defended.
When the news OF peace came every
body re3oiced. Even the Spanish officers
knew the war Was hopeless. aRc had bet
ter be brought to an end soon. The terms
caused q little modification, bat the Span
fsh residents now seem to be resigned.
They say now they prefer to be an Amer
lean territory rather than q Porto Kican
republic. Most OF the Span.ardx win swai-
low their discontinue and remain in the
Island and become American citizens.
Those Of the better class naturally feel
Inundated. but IL the government OF the
island IL 10 be changed. they prefer TO be
4 part OF the United States. They expect
an era OF great commercial prosperity
from American rule.
Yesterday the famous guerrilla. Fir
rago. was captured nesr Coamo and
brought to Jail here He is accused OF
burning. the yillage OF Colo. He denies
his guilt emphatcaily, but admits having
