If the report that Lieut.. Whitney brings
back from Porto Rico is accurate the task
of capturing and holding that island
ought to be very easy one. There are
only few Thousand Spanish troops there,
and they are thoroughly discontinued, be-
ing i'll fed and not paid at all. Admiral

Juan showed that there would be no
great difficulty in reducing that place
when the navy set about 1t in earnest,

selves in possession of the town. Porto
Rico would be more valuable to US to
keep than Cuba, because the population
is of a more peaceful character, less accus.
toned to revolutions, and therefore more
easily governed. Though a good deal
smaller than Cuba, it is equally fertile,
and according to its size fully as yalu-

opposed the free coinage of silver and all

of the currency and the reputation OF

by majority of 10000 in state where
the silver sentiment has been SO strong
that Republican United States senator
felt obliged to truckle to it, goes to show
that what the people want is open and
avowed advocacy of the gold standard

it will undoubtedly encourage the Repub-

1t is so highly improbable that three
Spanish war vessels of any considera BILE

the Carl can sea without being observed
and reported before they got close to Ha-

The explanation of the failure to cut of
telegraphio communication with Cuba
appears to be that some of the cables have
the power of reuniting their parts after
being severed, like some species of worms.
At least that would seem to be natural
inference from the way the French cable
has been acting.

Gray declined, whereupon
Thomas said be dared not, as it

Gray told him he had gone far

me and l went to him Just as he
had fallen and could see no mark
where he had been hit, yet he was
in the last agony of death and
died almost instantly. 1 had
heard no noise, l had seen moth
ing, and could not even see the
wound on him, and yet he was
dying. We undid his belt, and
there was just the least hole where
the ball had gone through his
body. The range of fire is so
great with the modem guns that
distance seemed to make little
difference in the matter of dan
ger. There is no such thing as
seeking safety in the rear of the
line of fire. When we got to
within five hundred yards practi-
cally the whole army was exposed
to the fire, those in the rear being
in danger as well as those for
ward"
Speaking of the capture of San
Juan hill, General Wheeler said
it had not been his intention to
make the assault when they did,
that they marched up to a GER
tain point, and intended to re-
main there. He was in command,
and two considerations led him to
order the army to go ahead. One
was that they were exposed to
fire where they were, and were in
as much danger at that distance
as they would be in making the
assault, and another was that
General Lawton's command,
which WAS to come up from the
southeast, might have advanced
to a position where the assistance
of the forces under General
Wheeler would be needed.
"The depressing condition of
affairs on the first of July when
the dispatches received here caus-
ed much anxiety, and even fear
of disaster" General Wheeler
said, "was due to the absolute
discomfort and suffering of the
whole army having hsd to wade
through the San Juan river wet
to their skins, and not being in a
condition to withstand severe
attack by strong force; but |
determined that, after the pro-
gressive victories which had been
won by our troops, the Spaniards
would not be in condition to
make such an attack any more
than our troops were to repel it,
and we stood our ground, and
future events speedily terminated
all thought of retiring from "a foot
of ground we had occupied.
