Converted From Spanish in Very
 Short Time.

Guanica, Porto Rico, Aug. 5.-There was a beautiful contrast between the first landing on the soil of Porto Rico and the first landing of General Shaf- ter's army at Baiquiri. In an hour af- ter Lieutenant Hughes and his blue jackets from the Gloucester and the men of battery B, Fifth artillery, had been landed and driven the guardia civil out Of Guanica, the town was as much an American village as Marion, Mass.
 American telegraph wires were hanging from the roofs, American sol diers were gathering star fish along the shore and American music was be- ing played by the Sixth Massachusetts band in the plaza. There was no con- fusion, no conflict of authority be- tween the army and navy officials, as there was at Baiquiri. Rows of white tents were stretched all over the level lowlands and camp fires burned on all the surrounding hills The inhabitants returned to find their homes guarded by friendly sentinels. No house or grounds had been invaded

SAYS HIS BOOKS ARE STRAIGHT.
City Clerk of Keokuk is Prepared to
 Vindicate Himself

Keokuk. Ia., Aug. 5.-Captain Bis bee came from Jacksonville to face a charge of shortage in his accounts as city clerk which became public upon a demand being made by Mayor Root that his bondsmen would be held re- sponsible for :$2,175, alleged to be due the city from Bisbee, who was serv- ing his sixth term as city clerk when he left on short notice in response to the first call for troops
 Captain Bisbee says he feels confi- dent of his ability to prove himself innocent of any wrong doing as a city official. He says the call for troops took him away at the head of his company without giving him time to fully examine the conditions of his books and accounts of his office, and that as he is city clerk with several months of the term yet to serve there was no cause for the action that was taken, especially in view of the fact that he could only escape arrest if desired by dessrting from the army, which would mean death if caught.
 He says he is prepared to explain any irregularities that may be found and to make good any discrepancy that experts now examining his books may prove.

 The unsafe portion of the military road, by the reports brought to Gen eral Miles. lies between Juan Diaz and Aibonito. General Stone, after occupying Adjuntas, north of Ponce, has taken Company A of the Third Wisconsin as far north as Utuado, fifteen miles beyond +Adjuntas. This road is not adapted to the transpor- tation of artillery and wagons, but the cavalry and infantry will have no diff ficulty in advancing by this route to Areceibo, from which point railroad and a good dirt road extend to San Juan. The artillery and wagons will be sent by transports to Areceibo and it will be simple matter to take them with the army toward San Juan.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Senators Thurston and Daniel Think Naval Station Should be Retained.

Washington, Aug. 5 = Senator Thurston of Nebraska said to day to la reporter that he was not in favor of the retention of the Philippine islands by the United States T do not see what we can want Of them. We do not want to acquire several millions of such a population. We should, in my opinion, retain naval station- an entire island for this purpose would be preferable-and then relinquish all claim to the rest of the islands. A suit able naval station is all we should want there" The senator did not think peace was far off
 Senator Daniel of Virginia was in the city today. When asked by a re- porter for his views on the form the terms of peace with Spain should take, MT. Daniel said.
 II think a naval station in the Phil ippines should be taken. If we should take those islands we would take them with their membranes, and we would find ourselves poorer by having
 them. This country doesn't want to
 be land poor. With naval station there and full protection to our com
 mercial rights, we will have all we
 want in those islands"

Major Hopkins is Secretary Alger's military aid. The surgeon generals office also is considering the advisability of allowing a number of women as nurses in the hospitals at the large camps. The surgeon gener- al has been averse to having women nurses in the field, but it is said that the large rendezvous camps cannot be considered as field service, and that the objection to women does not ap- ply as it would in active service.

HIGH MORTALITY.
i1any American Officers Lost Their
 Lives at San Diego.

Washington, aug. 5.-If anything was wanting to show the extraordi- nary high rate of mortality among the officers of the American army engaged in the battles before Santiago, it is supplied by the statement at the war department that with the death of Captain Dodge the Twenty-fourth in fantry lost every captain of. the reg1- ment. All of the other captains had been killed in action when Captain Dodge, the sole survivor, was stricken with an attack of yellow fever, which led to his death.
 Captain Dodge was a member of a well known Washington family. His father was an additional paymaster in the United States service during the civil war and subsequently, was con- nected with the treasury department He became captain on December A., 1895. taking command of the same company in the Twenty-fourth infan- try, which had formerly been com

AN OLD FRIEND.
Experience Of an Arizona Trooper
 With a CubSa Land Crab.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The following extract from a letter to the Star from Charles M. Pepper, it's war correspon- dent, will be appreciated in the south west:
 One of the things about which every returned soldier will have a story to tell will be his battles with the land crabs. These crabs are warriors. They fight sturdily, and, unlike the Span iards, they do not depend on intrench- ments. They resisted the American invasion ffercely, and they made night ly attacks. The Cuban land crab is considerably larger than mans hand. Its body is parti-colored, and the hues are brilliant. The soldiers who did not pretend to a knowledge of natural history said they had movable eyes and adjustable legs. These legs keep their bodies off the ground and give the land crabs a peculiar means of To- comotion. They seem to travel edge wise, and in getting over the ground when it is dry they make a noise like the cracking of bushes. When the ground is wet, which is oftener the case, their movement is like that of a suction pump In time they came to be nicknamed "the Spanish army"
 Everybody had his struggle with these creatures. Sometimes the still ness would be broken by a howl of disnav. and somebody would shoot out of tent as if mad. The disturb ed camp would half awaken, hear the mutter. Hand crabs" swear a little and settle down to sleep. only to be disturbed in a few minutes by another victim. One night when all was calm the quiet was broken by sharp com mands from an officers tent Ser geant, get an ax and kill that d-n thing quick. "That d-n thing" was land crab. When the officers tent mate suggested that instead of an ax the sergeant should get the dynamite gun there was chorus ol approval
 On another occasion camp discipline was threatened by an Arizona trooper who had shelter tent all to himself He had been amusing his companions with a bottleful of huge fireflies and had been telling them stories of life on the nlains. Later, sounds of hilarious o-neting came from his tent. Why. Fill old pard, stay right heEe- Ha1nt seen you for long time. How are ye, anyhow?" There was no audible response, but the supposition was that an old comrade had turned up and was receiving a western welcome. The troopers exuberant talk kept growing louder and more hilarious without bringing a reply until finally curiosity moved several of his comrades to take a peep into, the tent. What they saw caused a roar of merriment. The Ari- zonian was stretched at full length, his head dropped upon his right el- bow, his left hand holding the bottle of firefies, which lit up the interior of the tent so that every object could be seen clearly. On the edge of his blanket was a land crab of unusual size, evidently uncertain whether to advance or retreat. The troopers ex- planation was brief: Hike seein' old friends" he said. "Used to camp with lem in Mexico"

San Francisco, Aug 5.-The Arizona and the Scandia will probably be able to sail a week from tomorrow. They will be used in the future as perma- nent government transports. No word has been received about subsequent Manila expeditions, and General Mer- riam is awaiting word from the war department to learn what disposal to make of the remaining commands here.

WILL TAKE ANOTHER ROAD.
The Spaniards Had Mined the Way to
 San Juan.

New York, Aug. 5.-A dispatch to the Herald from Ponce says: General Miles having received information that the fine military road from Ponce to San Juan has been mined by Span iards, has formed practically a new plan for the Porto Rico campaign. In accordance with this plan, General Stone, with the Wisconsin troops, is pressing rapidly toward Areceibo. on the north coast of the island, and General Brooke, who arrived with General Harris and 1900 men, will ad- vance toward San Juan from Arroyo
 By this plan General Miles will avoid risking the lives of the troops through the explosion of the mines along the military road, and explosives which the Spaniards have hidden in the bushes along the way. At the same time he will foil a considerable body of Spanish troops in the town of Ai-
