with slight resistance: fired a few shots

'fAIILES,
MAI. Gen. Commanding Army"

This dispatch conveyed to the War
Department the first official information
that Gen. Miles had found it necessary
to change his original plan of attack,
which contemplated a landing at FajardO.
on the northeast coast of the island.
Referring to the rather unexpected move
Secretary Alger said last night;
.'Guanica will now be made the rendeZ-
vous for the expeditions following Gen.
Miles to Porto Rico instead of Fajardo,
as was originally intended. The entire
movement against the island viii be
made from Guanica for the present. We
are confident that the campaign will be
brief and successful. Many of the diff
culties experienced in the operations
against Santiago will be eliminated from
the Porto Rico campaign"

RAILROAD OUTRAGES.

Series Of Attempts 70 Wreck Trains in
Great Britain.
LONDON, Sept. l9.-The whole OF
Great Britain has been startled by an
epidemic Of railroad outrages. On the
Northwes estern and Midland railroads
in the neighborhood of Northampton,
there have been several most deter
mined efforts to wreck passenger trains.
Formidable distractions were con.
structed across the track and one ex'
press train had o most narrow escape
from disaster. 1t plowed through a
yeritable barricade, but did not leave
the rails. The most alarming feature
Of the outrages is the fact that the
police have not been able to obtain the
slightest clue to the perpetrators

Washington, April Late
tonight it is known that the
president is begging for more
time than Monday. He has
called many republican con-
gressmen to the White House
and asked that he be given till
Tuesday at the very latest. He
has pointed out that he has
made progress toward settling
the matter in that he has Sc
cured the concession that the
reconcentradoes be turned loose
and allowed to 60 back to their
homes in the country.
He was answered that the
Spanish flotllla was on its way
to the seat of war and delay
was dangerous. The intimation
given then was that this hotilla
would never be allowed TO leave
Porto Rico. The democrats are
determined to push matters on
Monday and they think they
can force break in republican
ranks. But those who know
how Reed bosses his party have
little confidence in this. The
adjournment o. both houses to-
day was to prevent any trouble
from the democrats tomorrow.
The extent of the excitement
was felt here today when the
announcement was made that
Spain had refused to accede to
the demand of this government
IN the matter of the indepen-
dence of Cuba.
Today came the irritating
declaration of Spain. 1t all in
all says: I'VE have gone as
far as we will 60 and we will
stand your interference no lon-
GER" 1t is said late tonight
that the message from that
country to the United States
is OF that character that the
president feels that hs can not
ask for further delay; that he
will not continue any further
negotiations for the settlement
of the question. but lay every
thing before congress on Mon
day and let it take the respon-
sibility.
III he docs that we will have
war sure. Even if he does not
do it there is every prospect of
war, for any further offer of
our president will be construed
to mean weakness, and ST ain
will become in the ratio of our
weakness, as she may consider
it, more arrogant.
On the other side, but the
side in a small one. il is said
that Mckinley will ask for fur
ther time in that his consulta-
tion with Reed was to gain his
aid in securing further time.
Without Reed he could not get
a minute; with Reed it is doubt
full If he can get more than
that. 1t is known for certain
