s1,01s.40. The bill was the final account
Of Mrs. Hare with the county n was
for the month of December. 1897. Mr..
Davies explained his reasons for not
allowing the bill before. He said one
reason vas that a man named A. Pic
quette died at the poor house during
the latter part OF Mrs. Hare's admin
istration. after he had been there only
a week or 10 days, and he left s42. so. Of
which no account was given by the
matron. Another reason was tina un-
der her contract with the county Mrs.
Hare was required 10 put suitable
headstones at the graves of those who
died in the poor house. which she had
not done until recently. The money be-
longing to Picquette has been sent to

IT WAS ALL HARMONY.
Colonel Sanders Dropped From the Di-
rectorste of Gold Mountain Company.


The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers in the Gold Mountain Mining com
pany was held in this city yesterday at
the office of f.. r. Howell, i'm the new
Bee Hive block. 1t had been thought
there might be i'm the proceedings a re-
fleX of the rather interesting directors
meeting held last winter when NJ. T..
Graves was deposed as manager of the
Ruby mine, which is operated by the
company. as it was a certainty that
Colonel sanders and his son. j. u. who
were the chief agitators at the time,
would be dropped from the directory,
but there was not so much as an echo
of that stirring meeting in which Colo
mel Sanders, with his irony, was pitted
against Mr.. Howell in a wordy duel, a
large part of which found its way into
the newspapers. Neither of the Sand
ers was present. and the meeting
passed off in perfect harmony. OF the
5000 shares of stock, $50, 900 were rep
resented. and Mr.. Graves, who holds
the majority interest. elected a direc-
tory to his liking in the following:
T.. b. Howell, l.. s. Wild. Governor
r. u. Smith, Lieutenant Governor A. e.
Spriggs, A. Hexter. II. NJ. Cobban and
NJ. l.. Hewitt. Mr.. Graves did not take
a place on the directory himself. and
the only other directors dropped were
Col. Sanders and his son. The organ
ization of the directory resulted In the
election Of president, T.. b. Howell: vice
president, Governor r. b. Smith; sec
rotary and treasurer, 7. &. Wild.
AT the conclusion OF the election Of
the directory and the organization of
the board. an informal talk resulted i'm
a decision to go ahead and sink the
shaft another 100 fee; and drift south
ola that level to cut the vein. 1t had
been reported a few days since that
h ore had disappeared i'm the mine
and that as a consequence IL would be
shut down indefinitely. Speaking in
reference to the matter last %venin
one of the directors said that the re-
port was not true in regard TO the con-
dition of the mine, although the ore
was running low. With reference to
the report the mine would close down.
he said the action of the stockholders
i'm deciding to go ahead and prospect
did not look like IL.

FROM CAMP THOMAS
 TO PORTO RICO

CHICKAMAUGA, Ga, July 21-To- night it looks as if at least two thirds of the troops at Camp Thomas are to be ordered to the front as an expedi- tionary force to go to Porto Rico, un- der General Brooke. The movement will be begun tomorrow morning, when the second brigade of the First Division, First Corps, commanded by Brigadier General Haines, will leave for Newport News. This brigade re- ceived marching orders few minutes before o'clock this evening. The reg iments of the brigade are the Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois and Fourth Penn sylvania- The order to move was greeted with the widest enthusiasm. This brigade is the only organization that will leave the park tomorrow, but if there is not a sudden change in the plans as they are understood here tonight, the entire First Corps, which numbers about 36,000 officers and men, will follow, the different brigades go- ing out as rapidly as transportation can be arranged.

that General Ochandc is taking up his headquarters at Cadiz. Although she cleared for Lisbon, the trans Atlantic steamer Ciudad COndal, towing the Catuluna, has arrived at Gibraltar os- tensibly for repairs, but in reality they are laying up. The transatlantic steamer Habana has also arrived and is awaiting orders. It appears the Mar quis de Comillas, who is in Madrid, wired the transatlantic company that he had authentic information that Watson was starting. He advised them to get all their vessels in places of safety. These movements, combined with the arrival of more troops and guns at Algeciras, are throwing the population into consternation.

from an official high in authority that General Miles would effect landing at the harbor of Fajardo on the east coast of Porto Rico, as stated in the Herald this morning. I am informed tonight by one who feels sure that his information is correct, but which is not confirmed by the official who desig mated Fajardo as the landing place, that General Miles will land at Guam ica. It is stated by experts that from the road from Guanica, which is 106 miles from San Juan, it is practi- cally shorter than the road of thirty four miles from Fajardo to San Juan, for twenty eight miles of the latter road is merely riding path. Guanica is on the southwestern coast of the isl and. There is good wagon road Cf six miles to Yauco, whence there is railroad well equipped to Ponca, twen- ty-two miles distant. From Ponca to San Juan is an excellent road eighteen feet in width, with fourteen feet of pounded stone along the center.
 Vessels of thirty feet draught can easily enter the bay of Guanica and proceed close in shore. It has no fort if1cations or mines. It is considered one of the best ports in the whole isl and

DEPARTURE OF WATSONS SQUADRON DELAYED ONLY
 FOR VERY BRIEF PERIOD
Secretary Long DiSpOS6S of a Report Cir Culat0d That the Expedition Had
 Been Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Secretary tions for dispatching the Watson squadron to European waters were go- ing on uninterruptedly, but that the departure necessarily would await the movement of the warships at Porto Rico the Massachusetts and other ships being required for conveying the troops to Porto Rico.
 This disposed of report circulated during the day that the expedition had been abandoned. It was felt that the report was more mischievous at this time, as it indicated a purpose to yield to the implied threats from European sources that European coalition would result if the American warships attacked the coast of Spain.
 Neither the State nor Navy Depart ment looks for any embarrassment from European quarters outside of Spain as a result of the naval move ment against the peninsula. During the day orders were sent to Norfolk to hurry forward work on the colliers which are to accompany the Watson expedition.
 Had the army troopships been able to go to Porto Rico without naval convoy, the Watson squadron could have got away within the next few days, as the War Board had wished to close all preliminaries by next Satur- day. But as the battle-ship Massa- chusetts, cruisers Columbia, Cincinnati, Dixie and Yale, together with several lesser craft, were considered necessary as patrol for the Miles expedition, this changes the plans slightly. The Dixie Is almost certain to be in the Watson squadron and the Massachu- setts is likely to be. Secretary Long expressly says, however, that the de- lay of the Watson squadron is incl dent to the conveying of the troops to Porto Rico, and does not mean that the start will be postponed until the Porto Rico operations are concluded.
 The report from Barcelona that the people were so fearful of the approach of the Watson squadron that they were urging France to establish a pro- tectorate over all the Catalonia dis trict, including Barcelona, was dis missed by officials, and by members of the diplomatic corps best informed on the affairs of France, as fantastic speculation, quite unwarranted by any actual movement now on foot. It is said to be thoroughl'- we'll esta blished that France is not lending a helping hand to Spain in any of her afflictions.
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-22

Porto Ricans selected to accompany the American army of invasion as aides and guides will embark on transports at Newport News on Saturday under the direction of General Antonio Mattell Lluveras. Besides General Lluveras, Senors Mateo Fajardo, Rafael Mar cuash, Domingo Collazo Emilio Con- zales Jose Budet, Juan Bezosa and Dr. Del Valle, who are all men of promin- ence in Porto Rican affairs, will go and General Miles hopes they will do much toward winning over the population of the island.
 General Miles delegated the selection of the men to w. P. Sutton, who was for fourteen years United States Consul in Mexico and speaks Spanish fluently. In the selection of the men no recogni- tion was given to the so-called Porto Rican Junta in New York, which aims at Porto Rican independence and has pr. Julio Henna at it's head. The Porto Rican aids will carry with them 30,000 rifles and corresponding ammunition furnished by the War Department and designed for the native Porto Ricans The revolutionists in Porto Rico who comprise the annexation party there are as bitter in their resentment to- wards Spain as are the insurgents in Cuba. They are looking forward anx- iously to the invasion of the island by
  ing as extensive preparations as their limited means will permit to give aid to their allies.
 A letter just received by General Ma teo Lluveras, the representative of the revolutionists in Washington, gives an interesting account of the conditions there and the anxiety of some repre- sentative Porto Ricans to accompany the American army in order that theil presence may have moral effect on the inhabitants of the island, who have taken up arms for Spain. The letter says that Spanish sympathizers have prejudiced the ignorant classes against Americans by telling them the latter are coming to plunder the island and commit excesses. Many negroes will, therefore, fight for Spain. There is much dissatisfaction, however, be cause of the high prices and because the Spaniards treat the natives like dogs In Ponce there are several native regi- ments which will assist the invading army. Juan Rodrigues, who has cone much for annexation, has been shot by order of the captain general after beng tortured.

MILES BACKED BY
 4 STRONG SQUADRON

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Concerning the naval conveys of General Miles ex petition from Cuba to Porto Rico, the Navy Department tonight made public the following statement: Admiral Sampson telegraphs this afternoon to the Secretary of the Navy that there has been no delay in furnishing ample convoy to General Miles. A day or two ago the Cincinnati and New Orleans were both placed at his disposal. The Columbia and Yale, carrying troops, are both powerfully armed, says the Admirals telegram, and this is an ample convoy for his expedition and to effect his landing. The Annapolis, Wasp and Leyden have been ordered from Nipe, the Gloucester also added and the three monitors ordered from Tampa. Under these circumstances there certainly has been no lack of naval assistance. If General Miles pre- ferred to wait, the delay was his own. However, in further answer to his re- quest, the Massachusetts and Dixie were also added this morning and he has probably started.
 This statement shows that General Miles will be backed in effecting his landing on Porto Rican soil by strong squadron of the navy. In addition to the vessels named in the statement, 1t Is officially admitted for the first time that the powerful monitors Terror, Am phitrite and Puritan, which have been at Key West, are under orders to pro- ceed to Porto Rico to assist in the re- duction of the forces there.
 It is known, also to be not unlikely indeed, it is probable-that still other vessels of Admiral Sampson's fleet will participate in the reduction of the for tifications of San Juan. This was indi- cated clearly by Secretary Long 8 statement this afternoon concerning the sailing of Commodore Watson's Eastern squadron to Spain. In the course of that statement, the Secretary said the Eastern squadron would be sent to Spain later. when the Porto Ri- can campaign permits. It seems clear that some at least of the vessels will be employed in the bombardment of the notifications of Porto Rico's principal citV
