Washington. D. c.. July 26.--The trea-
sury department yesterday made the
first awards of the new per cent
bonds. On Friday last there was re-
ceived from the bureau of engraving
and printing a batch of 1000 of the $2C
bonds and 1000 of the $500 bonds. These
were delivered to Register Lyons, whG
had them properly numbered and reg
istered. This work has been completed
and the bonds were sent out to the
lucky subscribers From now on the
deliveries from the bureau of engrav-
Ing and printing Will continue until the
last bond has been distributed.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip now
sees the end of his stupendous labors
of successfully negotiating the sale OF
the per cent. bonds, and from now
on 1t will be practically easy sailing.
1t Is quite probable that the magnitude
Of the undertaking which is now draw
ing to a close will never be known to
The public. certain 1t Is that few peo-
pie have any conception Of the amount
of care. trouble and work that is in
volved in disposing or 100000, 900 OF

mer Dora came in last night with a few
valdes passengers, and number from

How the Landing Was Made.

Port of Guanico, July 26.--Early this
morning the Gloucester, in charge of
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright,
steamed into Guanic0 harbor in order
to reconnoitre the place. With the
fleet waiting outside, the Gloucester
braved the mines which were supposed
to be in this harbor. and, upon sound
ing, found that there were five faith
oms of water clos4 in shore
Guanco bay is quiet place, sur
rounded by cultivated lands. In the
rear are high mountains, and close to
the beach nestles village of about
twenty houses.
The Spaniards were completely talk
en- by surprise. Almost the first they
knew of the approach of the army of
invasion was the announcement con-
tained in the firing OF gun from the
Gloucester, demanding that the Span
Iards haul down the flag of Spain.
The flag floated from a Flagstaff in
front Of a block house standing to the
east Of the village.
The first couple Of three-pounders
were fired into the hills, right and left
Of the bay.
The fighting yacht purposely avoided
firing into the town.
The Gloucester then hove to within
about six hundred yards of the shore
and lowered a launch, having on board
a Colt rapid fire gun and thirty men
under the command of Lieutenant
Huse.
The boat was sent ashore without
encountering any opposition.
Quartermaster Beck thereupon told
Yeoman Lacy to haul down the Span
ish flag, which was done. and they
then raised on the nag staff the first
United States flag to float over Porto
Rican soil.
Suddenly, about thirty Spaniards op-
ened fire with Mauser rifles on the
American party. Lieutenant Huse and
his men responded with great gallan-
try, the Colt gun doing effective work.
Mormon, who received Admiral Ger
vera's surrender, and Wood, a volun-
teer lieutenant, shared the honors with
Lieutenant Huse.
Almost Immediately after the Span
lards fired on the Americans, the Glou-
cester opened fire with all her three
and six-pounders, which could be
brought to bear shelling the town.

THE CONTROL OF SEX.
Or. Schenk Elaborates HIS Theory
as to the Mothers Diet,

as to tine Mothers Diet.
Vienna, May 18.-Prcf. Leopold
Schenk's book will be published in Ger
man to-day by the Vienna frm Of
Schallehn & Bollbruck. The work be-
gins with a resume of the history Of
past theories of sex. The latest-that
in which the result Of all DIR. Schenk's
observation and experiments is con-
centrated-is, as is known. that the
nourishment of the mother that Is to
be Is of the highest and foremost i'm
portance. Work and experience extend
ed over period Of many years con-
vinced him, he says, first, that he must
devote his whole attention to the guam
tity Of sugar secreted by the mothers
system In normal conditions. When
there Ia no sugar secreted, not even the
smallest quantity, then a male child
will be produced. IL
1t is very important that. before there
10 any prospect of maternity, the future
mother should have been receiving the
nourishment best suited to obtain this
continue the same diet.
AS to the general nature of the food
| to be chosen, Prof. Schenk says the
| mother should be given nourishment
| containing nitrogen and fat In sufficient
quantities. and only so much carbo-hy-
drates as not to let her suffer from the
lack OF them. Best to begin with the
treatment two or three months before
hand, and continue It for three months
afterward. Some women cannot bear
this treatment with nitrogen in concen-
trated form. Women in the country
who have been fed on vegetable. food
all their lives will be among these.
