GEN. MILES, CAMPAIGN.

Rcgardless of Peace Negotiations His
Troops Advance Toward San Juan
Capt. Gen. Macias Issues n Defiant Pro-
clamation.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 6.--Gen.
Miles is proc ceding entirety without
regard to peace negotiations. Krag-
Jorgensen rifles are being used, the
Second and Third Wisconsin moving
up to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania yes
terday. Gen. Brooke's landing at Ar
royo is successful. The troops from
the Roumanian, four batteries of the
Twenty-seventh Indiana, the First
Missouri and First Pennsylvania are
disembarking there. The Morgan
troop of the Fifth cavalry has arrived
here.
At Descalabrode river, six miles be-
yond Juana Diaz, on the road to San
Juan, Aug. 6.-lhe Sixteenth Penn
sylvania of Gen. Ernest's brigade, has
advanced to this point and holds the
bridge over the river. No sign of the
enemy is reported, but it is believed
that the Spaniards are about 400
strong between this point and Coamo.
The seizure of the bridge insures con-
troll of the road to Coamo. Pickets
are being put out and they may col
lide with the Spanish outposts.
Off San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. c.
The Americans have taken peaceful
possession of the eastern portion of
the island. Small parties of marines
have landed, who have lighted lamps
in the lighthouse at Cape San Juan
and other lighthouses along the coast
They met with no resistance. Indeed,
at Cape San Juan deputations of citi-
Zens came out to meet them.
Off San Juan the cruiser New Or
leans alone maintains the blockade.
The city is grim and silent, but back
of her walls there will be plenty of
determination and fight when the
Americans open fire.
Capt. Gen. Macias has issued n proc
| lamation, in which he says: Spain
has not sued for peace, and l can
drive off the American boats now, as
I did SIMPSONS attempt before" The
| daughter of the captain general is
helping to drill the gunners in the
forts. Altogether there are $500
| Spanish regulars in the city.
| Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. S.--A gem
| eral advance of the American force
began Sunday. The remainder of Gen.
| Ernst's brigade, constituting the ad-
vance center, supported by two bat
| teries moved out at six a. M: part of
the Eleventh infantry, of Gen. Henry's
division, started to the left toward
| Aiuntas. Troop A, of New York, the
Philadelphia City Troop and Troop IL,
of the Sixth regulars, are conveying
Gen. Brookes transportation column
along the coast road through Salinas
to Arroyo. Gen. Brooke is moving
north from Guayama with 10000 men.
Ponce, Aug. 10.-Gen. Miles will
probably leave on the Adiuntas road
in day or two, with troop of the
Second cavalry. Telegraphic COM
munication has been established be-
tween his headquarters here and all
the moving columns, but the reports
show that all is quiet. Gen. Wilson'S
headquarters are now at Descalabrado
river. Gen. Wilson in person made a
reconnaissance within sight of the
Spanish outposts entrenched mile
this side of Coamoa, and he estimates
that the Spaniards are 400 strong al
that point.

A German Prince Wants His Fellow
SOverigns to Call Emperor Will
liam to Account.

Count Ernest Cassimir Frederick
Charles, the regent of Lippe, who ha
distinguished himself by summoning
William of Germany before the bun
desrath, has long been in the bad looks
of the emperor. Kaiser Wilhelm ha
held, with excellent advice, that the
regent has wrongfully deprived
Adolph, prince of Schaumburg-Lippe,
of his legal rights to the throne. Count
Ernest belongs to the Lippe-Bierstein
branch of the family, and his cousin,
Prince Adolph, disputed his right to the
succession of the ancient and honor
able family of Lippe. The dispute was
submitted to tribunal of arbitra-
ton, which promptly decided in favor

of the Bierstein branch, much to the
chagrin and disappointment of Prince
Adolph and the emperor. Since then
his imperial majesty has lost no oppor-
tunity of showing his displeasure on
all occasions of his meeting with the
regent, who has taken the high ground
of German prince to bring his kaiser
to account before the constitutional
representatives of the great German
people. The outcome of this i'm
perial case will be awaited with the
keenest interest.

rial this has been known along the
Atlantic coast as Old Point Comfort.
Every foot of the soil Of Old Point Com
fort belongs to the United States gov
ernment. 1t was ceded to the United
States by the state of Virginia for the
purpose of local and national defense.
Across the spur of the great Virginia
peninsula Fort Monroe stretches its
acres of ground. Many years ago the
government permitted the Hygeia Ho-
tel company to build there, and as
pleasure and health resort the Hygeia
hotel has long been famous.
John Chamberlain recently de-
ceased, was for many years tie pro-
prietor of a popular hotel in Wash
ington which was sort of club for
prominent men. He was n very popu
lar man himself, and, although with
out money, he induced millionaires to
subscribe large sums for the purpose
of building magnificent hotel on Old
Point Comfort near the Hygeia hotel.
He lived long enough to complete his
plans and opened his hotel with a
grand banquet in the presence of the
secretary of the navy, postmaster-gen-
eral, Admiral Bunce, Gen. Miles, Com
modore Schley and many famous SEN
ators and representatives and govern
ors of sovereign states.
The hotel with it's furnishings cost
$1,50O,00O. 1t is without exception the
most perfect hotel on the Atlantic
coast, and that means the most per-
feet and delightful pleasure resort
in the entire world.
The ground upon which the Hygeia
hotel and Chamberlin's hotel stand
belongs to the United States govern
ment. The leases were given with the
understanding that no rent should be
paid for the use of the ground, but
that the hotels could be taken posses
sion of by the government at any time
without notice, to be used by the gov
ernment, or destroyed; and the own
ers would have no recourse for losses
sustained.
Gen. Miles has taken possession of
both of these hotels, and has set them
apart for military purposes. They
will be used as hospitals for the care
of the sick and wounded soldiers OF
the army of the United States. At no
time in no war, under no circum-
stances have the sick and wounded sol.
diers of any army been provided for
in such a magnificent manner.
Awell-known writer who was at one
time a prominent Washington corre'
spondent recently visited Old Point
Comfort and beautifully described the
beautiful place by saying: "Some faint
idea of the character of Chamberlin's
hotel, which the manned soldiers will
occupy, may be gained from the fact
that it has frontage three feet great
er in length than that of the nationa
capitol, or 754 feet in all. 1t required
10000 yards of carpeting to cover itr
floors. 1t has six stories towering
above a basement. Its style can bes
be termed the modern renaissance. 1t;
south front is constructed of brick
but the other sides of the building ar,
of wood. The inside construction
however, is fireproof, as the staircase
are entirely of iron, and the corridor
are built OF metal girders. A sense O
spaciousness impresses the visito
everywhere. The ball room is q CRANE
apartment, 104 feet square. The din
ing-room is, perhaps, the most mag
nificent apartment in the hotel. From

it's windows the wounded soldiers
while eating their meals can gaze upon
the tossing waters of Hampton Roads
and Chesapeake bay,
"Now, before the changes that will
be made necessary, the visitor can find
as the narrator did-breakfast
rooms, ordinaries, separate dining
rooms for servants and children, a res
taurant entirely apart from the other
gastronomic service and furnished
from its own peculiar kitchen, bill
lard room with IL tables, bowling al
ley With six runs, a rathskeller in
which German delicacies and imported
beers are served, dim vault especial
ly set apart for the service of musty
ale, card rooms adjoining the wine
rooms in which modest games such as
eucher and old maid can be enioyed,
and then far up in the attic the most
gorgeous apartment in the entire
house, the dream of Architect Smith
meyers life, a card room set aside for
games in which the national colors fig
ure in ivory circles. The hotel is sup
piled with a duplicate electric plant
with five dynamos and three engines,
furnishing power for 5000 lights"
That is good place for the sick
and wounded soldiers, by the salt sea,
where their brows will be famed by
the breezes from the ocean; where
fish and oysters and CLANS are so plen-
tiful, and where all game is accessible
in season. 1t is to be the grandest

Stamp Tax Decisions.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has rem
dered decision in which he holds
that contracts of reinsurance with GER
tain stated exceptions are not subject
to stamp tax. In the case of receipts
for rent, where there are no other re-
citals no stamp is required. But if
the receipt contains any phrase or
clause that can be construed as a con-
tract for hire, use or rent, then in such
cases the receipt is held to become
something more than bare receipt
and should be stamped.

A HARVEST oE GOLD.
Storekeepers In Santiago de Cuba are TAX
Ing All Kinds of Money from Ameri-
cans.

Storekeepers In Santiago de Cuba are TAX
ing All Kinds of Money from Ameri-
cans.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. THE San
tiago storekeepers are reaping a good
harvest from our soldiers. The men
are supplying the needs of many
weeks and it is surprising to see how
many of our officers and common sol
diers are familiar with the Spanish
tongue. A good interpreter is always
in demand, however, and the heart of
the storekeeper warns up to the man
who will straighten out his perpleX-
tiles with a customer who shouts in
English.
And how the shopkeepers do rob the
Americans on exchange. An Ameri-
can dollar is worth two Spanish dol
lars, but in the beginning our men did
not know this, and American gold was
given for Spanish silver values. Our
paper money is already circulating in
the town. The pawnshops are over
stocked and many a souvenir of the
Cuban campaign that goes back to the
United States has come from these
places. Old Spanish silver and jew
elry, watches and even magnificent
carved leather chairs made centuries
ago in Spain will remind certain
Americans of Santiago. But of the
many evidences that will be carried
away good machete bought from a
Spanish officer is the most popular.
There has been but one restaurant
where the Americans have been able
to find food A meal costs So in gold
and the restaurant is coming money.
