granted at the request Of the British

The landing of American troops in
| Porto Rico has caused great excitement
among the residents of this city. For
several days following the landing at
Guanica there was a steady emigration
from this city into the interior. But
with all of the excitement there has
been no rioting or disorder.
San Juan now has settled down into
a state of strained readiness for the
American attack. 1t is expected at any
time. Everything indicates that the
city will not be taken without great
L,oodshed. Some talk of surrender has
been heard, but the Spanish troops
have sworn to fight to the end.

Among neutral residents here there
is a strong feeling that the time has
arrived for peace, in order to prevent
an absolutely useless waste of life. 1T
is felt that the more pacific is the
American occupation of Porto Rico the
easier it will be to cultivate that good
feeling which will be necessary to the
future development of the island.
The American army of invasion, &C
cording to the reports received here, is
moving slowly towards the capital,
meeting with little resistance, but a
concentrated and determined stand will
be made by the Spaniards when the in
vading army arrives in front Of San

In an Interview He Says He Be-

advisable and Un-American
and Is Opposed to 1t.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 4.-senator
James K. Jones, chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee, has left
Little Rock for Washington. The SEN
ator professed not to discuss too freely
the question Of the Spanish Dependent
cies captured by the United States, in
asmuch as the question is n that the
treaty is presented. Yet he is so thor
oughly an anIl-expanslonlst that he
could not attempt to deny that he is
opposed to what the British and part
of the American press term an imper-
iar' policy.
IT believe in the principle embodied
in the declaration of independence, that
government must be by the consent of
the governed" said the senator. "While
it may be true that the inhabitants of
the Spanish islands are practically saw
ages and incapable of self-government,
as a matter of sentiment I would not
feel like seeing them continued under
the dominion of Spain. But as to
what disposition should be made of the
islands I am not prepared to say"
"Would you favor a protectorate?"
1--WE want to maintain the military
government we have set up until some
treaty is made" he replied.
"Then you see nothing to be gained
by the acquisition Of foreign territory?"
Nothing to. be gained and much to be
feared. There is no constitutional war;
rant for the adoption of a colonial pol
icy by the United States and it is ut
terly repugnant to our traditions. The
right of the people to govern themselves
is too firmly engrafted in the hearts of
the American people for us to embark
upon a policy of land grabbing in VIOLA
ton of our oft-enumerated principles.
"Nor can I see any particular boon to
American m in imperialism.
Sentiment does not control the pur-
chaeses of the world. The cheapest
and best market gets the trade. BY
the annexation Of Hawaii sugar duties
aggregating $4,000, 900 annually are lost
to us and the sugar refineries are the
only gamers. There is no calculating
the endless complications the policy of
Imperialism would entail, nor comput-
ing the enormous expense of maintain
ing an immense army and navy. We
are too well settled in our principles
of government to attempt now so rad
ical and dangerous a departure as that
contemplated in the new policy"

Bud Chaffee Of Black Hawk is now in

serious condition. He is a surveyor at
one of the Homestake company's mills
at Elk Creek. Recently, while per-
forming his duties, he was struck by
a piece Of slab and knocked against
the saw. He instantly grabbed some
thing which, fortunately for his life,
was stationary, and pulled himself
away from the moving saw He was
badly cut on his right hip, and when
rescued his life was at first despaired

quired to be taken by the surgeons, and

any serious inconvenience save a loss
of time.

Peace Terms.

London, Aug. 3.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says:
"The following conflicting accounts
of the American peace terms and sus-
picion hat the Washington government
was temporiZing in order to confront
Spain with the occupation of Porto
Rico and the c%apitulation Of Manila,
originally caused irritation and pro-
voked strong language; but it is now
seen that the suspicion was unfounded,
1.-The terms, however, are regarded as
very hard, and the annexation of Porto
Rico and the reputation of the colonial
debt is characterized as lagrantly un-
just.
Happily the question Of the Philip
pines is reserved, and I am confident
that the more it is considered the less
will America be inclined to annexation.
Spain has only maintained sovereignty
there by the aid of the religious orders,
who supplement administration author
1ty by immense religious influences,
Even h least clerical of the cap
tains and generals have admitted in
their official reports that without the
friars, who are mostly able men and
ardent Spanish patriots, an army corps
OF peninsular troops would be perma-
nently required to maintain order.

pines would be required to abolish this

The Fall of Ponce.

Porto Rico (via st. ThOmas), Special:
The American conquest of Porto Rico
has begun ouspiciously. The Spanish
have abandoned Ponce, the principal
port on the southern coast of the ISL
and and in many respects it's most
progressive. General Miles landed and
Friday took possession and raised the
stars and stripes. The inhabitants re-
ceived the Americans with open arms
and gave them the wil&est and most
exaggerated welcome. indicating that
the population was ripe for the revolt
which was predicted as soon as the
American troops touched the shore.
The forces landed at Guancia on
Monday have been moved and now mold
the terminus Of the railway connecting
Yauco and Ponce. They encountered
no opposition except on Tuesday morn
ing at daylight, when the advance skir-
mishers pushed into a force Of Span
iards occupying a house on the Yauco
road. The skirmishers, under a hot
fire, fell back and then again came
CALAMITY forward. driving the enemy
for a mile from the Notifications into
the bush. In the encounter three
Americans were wounded:
Bostwick, Captain B. A., company L,
In the left arm. slightly.
Drummond, Private James, company
K, In the neck.
Ribbons, Captain Edward j., COM
pany A. shot in the left leg.
The enemy lost. three killed and
fourteen wounded.
After the action it was believed that
the enemy intended to contest the ad-
vance from Guanica. and General
Miles made preparations to send Cen
eral Wilson's troops to Ponce with a
view of throwing them between Ponce
and the enemy and closing in on the
latter from both directions. He sent
word to Captain Higginson of h bat
tleship Massachusetts to be ready to
cover the landing today. An officer ac-
cordingly was sent ashore to formally
demand the surrender Of the port of
Ponce, three miles from the city Of
Ponce. The. officer was greatly sur
prised to learn that not only the port,
but the city Of Ponce was ready 10

In this quarter. On the advice Of the
