A FLANK MOVEMENT.
The Spanish Troops Must Move or BE
Caught Between Two Fires.

PONCE. Aug. (evening). via ST.
THOMAS, Aug. 3.-(Delayed in transmits
sion) The plan OF campaign Is not fully
determined upon, but the natural strength
OF the Spanish position Aibonlto and the
character OF the defensive works erected
there. necessitates flank movement. The
turning movement was inaugurated to-
day when General Brooke landed 5000
men at Arroyo. sixty miles east OF here
From there he can strike the military
road leading 20 San Juan at Galley, De
yond Aibonito This will compel the
Spanish commander, General Olega. who
has a great reputation. 70 abandon his
stronghold or be caught between two
fires.
1t IS possible that a second column may
move on his left flank also, T.. which
case the present advance on his front
will be shown 10 ( only a feint.
A Reconnaissance.
General Stone is making dashing
reconnaissance north, in the direction OF
Arecibo He went into Adjuntas last night
with five men and four correspondents,
and to-day he brought his command on
along the Utuado road as far as Adj
juntas. The road rises west of the Galley
range and is rough but practicable for
cavalry an infantry. II Il Is found pass
able at Utuado a light column of troops
may be pushed across to the north coast
and strike in on San Juan on the left
flank But II General Brooke is success
full it is probable that General Olega will
find Aibonito untenable. in which case
the whole of our army. after effecting a
junction. will move on the main road.
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME.
General Stone met with most enthu-
slastic welcome from the natives in the
villages and towns through which he
passed. Women and children Strewed
the streets with flowers and as he passed
houses and town halls flew homemade
American flags. Behind him moves G
Company Of the Second Wisconin kegi-
ment. under Lieutenant Bodiner. The
enemy numbering about 400 preceded him.
The enemy has for hours been In full
retreat our advance has not been ex-
tended beyond Juan Diaz although recon-
noitering party have touched Ceimo.
Gen. Garretson's brigade and the bat
teries are camped just beyond Ponce.
NO GENERAL ADVANCE YET
general advance will not be ordered
until all Of General Miles plans are ner

gun 1t will be very rapid.
