Forty spaniards Were Killed and
Not An American Killed or Wounded.
Port a Guanica. Island of Porto
Rico, via st. Thomas Island, July a.
The United States military expedition
under command of General Miles,
which left Guantanamo bay Thursday
last, was landed here successfully today
after a skirmish between a detachment
of Spanish troops and crew OF 30 be-
longing to the launch of the United
States auxiliary gunboat Gloucester.
Forty Spaniards we're killed and nc
Americans were hurt. The troops
were pushed forward rapidly in order
to capture the railroad leading to Ponce,
which is only about 90 miles east Of
this place.
Guanica, the point of debarkation
of the expeditionary force, is small
town on the southern coast of the
island. 1t is less than 20 miles on an
air line distant from Ponce, and 50
miles from San Juan, against which
the assault is to be directed. This
town Is situated on bay Of the same
name, which forms one of the best
ports In the whole island. =.
From Ponce there is an excellent
military road running 80 miles north
to San Juan. The whole of General
Brooke's force, with the New Orleans,
Annapolis, Cincinnati, Leyden and
Wasp are expected here within "a
hours.

UNITED STATES TROOPS ENBARKNG FOR PORTO RICO

are not on record, and absolutely un.
known, so far as has been yet ascer-
tanned. A general investigation has
been ordered Immediately.
American newspapers which have
arrived here contain articles written
apparently under misapprehension OF
the facts regarding the conduct of the
campaign. and the dictation of the
terms of surrender. General Miles was
here simply as visitor and adviser.
In his official capacity he had nothing
to do with the terms Of the capitula-
ton. the entire credit for which belongs
to General Shafter, who, on July 10,
received the following dispatch from
Washington, of that date:
General Shafter. Siboney: The
secretary of war directs me to inform
you that General Miles left here at
10:4O last night for Santiago, but with
instructions which do not in any man.
ner supersede you as the commander OF
the United States troops in the field al
Santiago, as long as you are able for
duty. "CORBIN,

er Charles Nelson arrived t0lay from
St. Michaelswith l73 passengers from
Dawson, and gold dust estimated all
the way from 81, O00,0 to 81, SOC, 900.
Purser M. A. Tucker said:
II believe tina: 81. 500, 900 is a fair
estimate. OF that amount can vouch
for 5000. 900, which was turned over
to me and placed in the steamers
safe."
One man, Mr.. Tucker said, had
$175, 900 and another $l25,000 He
would not disclose their names.
Mr.. Lippey, his father and two
brothers, carried off the steamer nine
canvas sacks, which weighed about 100
pounds each. This was the clean up

Charles Randall, an old-timer, had
$84, 900.
Other individual amounts ran from
900 to $4,000, $4,000 being an
average.
At 5 O'Clock this afternoon, 81 pas
sengers had deposited in the assay Office
about $500, 900. Four thousand ounces
was the largest individual amount.
This did not include the Lippey and
Randall gold.
About one-third of the passengers

gone in this spring. Not liking the
prospect they sold their outfits and re-
turned.

Folding Megaphone.

The megaphone has come into almost
universal use at athletic and aquatic
races and contests because it enables
the judges and other officers to make
announcements that can be heard all
over the field. Its adoption has been
somewhat hampered by the size OF the
instrument, which is too bulky to be
conveniently transported, but this has
been overcome by making them collaps-
ible like the drinking cup made for
travellers and picnickers. The folding
megaphone Is made in sections, one fit
ting in the other, and wien not in use
the horn collapses into package about
the size of hat box.
