Guanica.
The news of the landing Of General
Miles at Guanica, on the southwest
shore Of Porto Rico. came as genuine
surprise TO the war department. II had
all been carefully planned that he was
10 make his landing at another point
as remote as possible from the place
where he actually landed. go there was
little wonder that the officials received
the first news OF the landing with In
credultty, dnd even went to the length
OF supposing that the story had been
put afoat In order to distract abtntion
from the point which had been selected.
Just why General Miles made this
wide departure from the plans OF the
department Is not known, but It is sup
posed that he gathered some intnrTna,
ZION since ne left Slboney that induced
MIN 10 make the change. The result,
however, has been to peTple1 the de-
partment officials deeply, and to consld-
erabiy derange their carefully prepared
proFramem for the remainder OF the ex-
petition. It will now be necessary to
intercept the sections Of the expedition
already at sea heading for certain Sc
and to advise them Of tho change in
the plans. -
It is another exhibition OF the reli-
ance placed by the government In the
dispatches of the Associated Press that
Il proceeded to act at once In the direc-
tion indicated to take steps to notify the
sections afloat.
General Wilson'S brigade Is now ap-
preaching the island, being due there to-
day or tomorrow, and relnforcements
win follow at intervals Of one or two
days until the phole force OF $4,000 men
Is landed, unless events connected win
the peace negotiations make It expedl-
emf 10 stop further movements. How
ever. it is a matter for coongratulationl
to the war department that General
Miles has managed to set foot on Porto
Rico before the first overtures for peace
and thus to place the island In the same
position as Cuba and the philippines,
namely, as to territory at least partially
in possession OF the United States at the
beginning Of the negotiations.

A NOVEL SUIT.
The Owners of n Guaranteed Vessel Sue
for ReIlef-They Claim to Have a
Clear Bill of Health.

New Orleans, Oct. 5.-An interest
ing suit, in view of prevailing yellow
fever, was filed yesterday by the
French Navigation Co., which owns
the steamship Britannia. The Bri-
tannia arrived several days ago at the
mouth of the river with 4OS Italian i'm
migrants. Believing that the landing
of these strangers in the city might
provide fresh material for the fever
and thus seriously e~ndanger public
health, the board of health issued an
order holding the ship at the mouth Of
the river. The company e for relief,
saying the ship has a clean bill of
health, and that the board of health is
acting by virtue of n state law that is
unconstitutional, in view of the fact
that congress alone has the right to
regulate foreign commerce. Damages
are asked of the officers of 1.-THE board of
health.

SINGING IN CAMP,

The army camp in quietude
Meath Cuban skies was near to slumber
For rank on rank within the wood
Had stacked the arms that heavy cum
Der;
1t seemed the world was wooing sleep,
4 sleep to homesick hearts so willy.
When down the line some voice rang deem
A note of love to. Mamie Reilly"
A hush of death, save for that voicer
But on! now many thoughts were wing
ing!
And then, as though 'twere each ones
choice,
A thousand others Joined the singing:
For each had sweethearts s-omewbe1es
home,
And war had lost its lash and splendor:
The Cuban wood and twilight gloam
ffad made each soldiers heart grow ten
der.
Then, farther down the line, there rang
Inc notes of Sweet Marie" and solemn
AS anthems ancient choirs sang
The chorus rolled adown the column:
For soldier hearts, in war so strong,
Hath ever peaceful memories clinging.
And every voice that line along
To some afar Marie was singing.
A lull, and then from out a group
Of tents that in the woodland rested
A song broke forth that to the troop
A loyalty and love attested.
Along the Wabash" reached the ears
OF tired corps in rest reposing,
And then there rose a burst of cheers,
The Indiana camp disclosing.
Then sudden blew a bugler's note,
The call of "taps"-"lights out"-and
sleeping
The soldier breathed a prayer by rote:
That One might hold within His keeping
The destlnies of those at home,
To whom his sweetest thoughts were
winging,
And In the gathering even's gloom
A heart was softened by the singing.

OVATION TO GEN. LEE.
An UprOariOus Time at WaIlack's Theater
In New YOrk-A Spontaneous Oya-
ton to the Great General.

New York, Oct. 5.-Maj.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee received an uproarious ova-
ton at Wallack's theater last night.
With i party of friends he entered a
box to hear the opera The Fortune
Teller" which is being presented by
Miss Alice Nielsen and company.
The auditorium being dark, he was
not recognized during the course of
the first act. just before the curtain
fell a bunch of roses was thrown upon
the stage.
Miss Nielsen had observed the gal
liant southerner in his full uniform of
Encouragement and promptly threw
the roses into his box. The attention
of the audience was attracted, the
lights went up and the general was
recognized.
Cheer upon cheer rent the air. Cries
of Speech" and Our next presi-
dent!" were heard. Gen. Lee bowed
again and again, but did not other
wise respond.
The curtain then arose again and
revealed the entire company of so or
90 people standing massed on the
stage. They gave three cheers for
Gen. Lee and then sang The Star
Spangled Banner" the audience join
ing in with wild enthusiasm.
BY this time the audience had arisen
to a high pitch of excitement. The
patriotic hymn had no o ended
than men and women left their seats
and crowded around the Lee box.
Gen. Lee leaned over the balustrade
and shook hands with as many as he
could reach. Some time elapsed be-
fore the excitement subsidized and the
performance could be resumed.
