"a day or two" which of course
means week or two.
Gen. Miles, so far is meeting with
lno opposition in Porto Rico and it now
looks as if complete possession of the
island would be obtained without any
bloodshed. The Porto Ricans are
meeting our soldiers everywhere with
open arms and proclaiming desire tc
be annexed to the United States.
1t isx epet ted that the Vermont reg

is made possible through the action Of

ex-governor Woodbury. is AT it
again. If any one should think the
SITTER harsh in speaking of him as it
has on second page the reading of
the following telegram sent by him to
Secretary Algel under date of July
3lst, may afford such some light:
81 respectfully protest against
sending the Vermont troops to Porto
Rico unless their services are actually
needed there. Those of us who bade
our sons God speed when they en-
listed in their country's service were
prepared for any sacrifice they might
make even to life itself, and they are
now of the same mind. But when
the war is over we feel that their
place will be at home with their fsmi-
lies and in their wonted places of
business. An excursion to Porto
Rico after the war is over cannot add
to their honor nor to the honor of
Vermont.
