The poor ex-queen began ito cry, and
said she believed 1t was d cancer. but
that she feared to learn the truth. Then
she told how 1t had been constantly grow
ing larger for months.
DR.. English says that owing to the con-

Of proper treatment. the ex-queen's con-

During her stay here she has only left

Inc uispatch Irom Capt hiSginson
printed elsewhere on this page, together
with other advices received at the War
Department today. has created a feeling
of confidence that the Porto Rican cam

Guanica has been occupied and the
troops will be Immediately marched to
the interior town of Yauco. miles away.
After resting there for a few days. they
will be marched to take the garrison at
Ponce.
Yauco is the terminus of the railroad
which runs along the southern coast OF
Porto Rico. and the shops are situated
there. Gen. Miles. no doubt. has by this
time seized the roundhouse and rolling
stock. thus greatly simplifying the invest
ment Of Ponce. That city can easily be
taken with 1000 or 5000 men. as its de-
lenses are understood to be weak and the
garrison small.

1t is stated on authority that the ex-
pedition under Gen. Brooke will sail d.
rsct to Fajardo.
THE wisdom of Gen. Miles course is
now conceded on all Sides said the
army officer quoted above. ''In view Of
Spain's suit for peace It seems providen-
tial. The American flag was run up on
the island yesterday morning: in the af-
ternoon the French ambassador called
on President Mckinley and took the first
decisive step looking to peace that has
been taken since Minister woodford was
given his passportA
Had the expedition's objective point
been Fajardo It would have probably
been at sea when Spain's communication
was received.
THE fact that the flag was already
floating over Porto Rican soil when the
enemy cried enough Will make all the
difference in the world when 1t comes to
drawing up articles Of peace
It is not believed by the authorities
here that there will be more than a
skirmish at Ponce. Unless peace propos-
ais are accepted battle Is looked for
before San Juan.

PRESIDENTMCK1NLEY is hand
ling the war problem with that
prudence and firmness that will
leave no doubt in the minds of
thoughtful people as to his mark
ed ability as a statesman and
leader. There was time when
it seemed that the tide of oppo.
sition, both in congress and
among the "war-for-any-motive'
class, was about to overwhelm
him, but he stood firm and with
the courage of a brave and just
man earnestly sought peace But
when war came he was ready.
The most powerful engines of de-
struction the world had ever
seen awaited his signal. The
mightiest armies that ever tramp.
ed the earth were ready to spring
forth at his bidding. Let the
yellow journals" and venom
breathing slanderers who have
yilified aud abused him, now take
their places along with the same
infamous. unholy gang that viii
fed and maligned the immortal
Lincoln at the very hour when
he was framing the most stu
pendous policy that ever adorned
the DIPLOMACY of any age.
