Ponce will not be bonn arded until
the rest of the war ships arrive.
The Spaniards were completely
taken by surprise. Almost the first
they knew of the appearance of the
army of invasion was in the announce
ment contained in the firing of a gun
from the Gloucester demanding that
the Spaniards haul down their flag,
which was floating from a flagstaff in
front of a blockhOuse standing to the
east of the village. Two three-pound-
ers were fred into the hills right
and left of the bay, purposely avoiding
the town, lest the projectiles hurt
women and children. The Glouceste r
then hove to within about six hundre
yards of the shore and lowered a
launch, having on board Colt rapi d.
fire gun and 80 men, under the com
mand of Lieut.. Huse, which was sent
ashore without encounter:ng opposi-
ton.
Quartermaster Beck thereupon told
Yeoman Lacy to haul down the Span
ish flag, which was done, and they
then raised on the flagstaff the first
United States flag to float over Porto
Rican soil.
Suddenly about thirty Spaniards
opened fire with Mauser rifles on the
American party. Lieut.. Huse and his
men responded with great gallantry,
the Colt gun doing effective work.
Norman, who received Adm. Cervera's
surrender, and Wood, a volunteer
lieutenant, shared the honors with
Lieut.. HUse.
Almost Immediately after the Span
iards opened fire on the Americans the
Gloucester opened fire on the enemy

By 9:45 o'clock with the exception of
a few guerrilla shots the town was

stoGers Work IL Healthy.

1t is a fact that the stokers on board

are steady In their habits, suffer
scarcely at all from their arduous la
bors. A stoker works four hours at a
stretch, and during this time the tenn
p~erature OF his surroundings varies
from 100 to 100 degrees. One stoker
usually has four furnaces to attend to,
and while feeding n furnace a man
has to be extremely careful or his arm
will be burnt by the furnace behind
him. AS o rule, a man is occupied for
about three minutes at each furnace,
and directly he had finished he rushes
to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn

that the work is least injurious to the
