BISBEE CAMP.
Description of the Thriftiest Mining
 District in Southern Arizona

G. w. Pittock writes as follows in the Star concerning Bisbee:
 The biggest town outside of Tucson in the southern section of the terri tory lies in the Mule mountains, north of the San Pedro valley. Enthusiastic denizens of Bisbee claim as high as 5000 population, which it may have if the Chicago idea is permitted to go. Up and down the wash and in Brewery gulch, half mile anyway, but in one direction, south, there are to be found occupied houses. To keep in touch with the improvements and growth a person must settle down and keep tally, otherwise he is apt to get con- fused.
 Tombstone has not only contributed it's frame structures to a large extent, but hundreds of the inhabitants have landed somewhere within the town limits and host of these are doing business under the roof that sheltered them when the county seat was on the top wave of prosperity. This accounts for the page devoted to Bisbee in the Daily Prospector of once prosperous Tombstone.
 The Copper Queen Consolidated has led in all improvements, the big com pany stores, the handsome office build ing and Masonic temple, school house, engine house. postoffice and library building and the resident physicians offices being in evidence. The addi- tion to the library and postoffice is nearing completion, likewise the offices of Dr. Sweet and assistants. The depot and three stall round house are includ- ed in the company properties outside of the shelter building. Of course the standard gauge railway, with tracks in town, can be classed as an adjunct of even greatest importance The lat ter of fifty-ive mile stretcn to Benson is under the immediate supervision of M. w. A. Harvey who is in Wisconsin for his health. Meantime MT. Lewis Williams, brother of General Man ager Ben Williams, sees to the conduct of railway affairs, assisted by Agent Stiles. The railway department is op- erating twenty men in putting in a substantial turntable.
 The Nacossari branch of the A. & s. E. is on the line and there the force will wait Manana. Right of way of the ninety miles in Mexico is all right as to the state of Sonora, but the gov ernment must approve. Shipments Of copper ore by wagon from Nacossari to BiSbee are made.
 The pay roll of the Copper Queen is still above the 1,150 mark, including g store and railway forces. It is diff cult to hear whimper from an en- ploye, as the Copper Queen company gives no occasion for complaint, and if any kicks come they must emanate from cranks of acknowledged reputa- tion.
 The Cochise Copper company, which has thirteen claims in Dubecker can yon, will do some active work before October Charles Muheim and Charles Montgomery are interested parties.

WITHOUT SHADOW
 OF RESISTANCE
Americans Were Yesterday Well
 comed by Porto Ricans.
HARBOR OF PORT OF PONCE
ing of Cargoes Proceeds all Day Long-The Country Both
 Rich and Beautiful.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
 Ponce, Aug. 16.-Nearly two weeks have elapsed since the first troops of the invad- ing army landed at Guanica and at that time without a shadow of resistance from the Spaniards, more than half of the south ern coast of Porto Rico has come absolutely under the control of the military officials.
 The main force now at this point is en- camped about a mile and a half east of the town and about four miles from the port of Ponce. The harbor is filled with trans ports and the unloading of cargoes proceeds all day long, Lighters, laden with horses, mules and provisions, as well as ammuni- ton and all kinds of army equipments are constantly passing from the steamers to the shore. Great piles of boxes containing stores of every description olccupy the wharves and warehouses.
 Along the four miles of road from the port to the main camp an endless train of mule teams and OK carts passes during the hours of daylight and the never-ceasing cloud of dust shows how the work of transporting stores of every description occupy the
 The road Is an excellent one, but no rain of consequence has fallen since the army arrived and the constant travel of the heavy teams and hundreds of animals has ground the surface into fine, choking dust, which is the more intolerable owing to the blazing August sun, whose rays pour down upon the sweltering men and beasts.
 In the town proper the streets are lined with teams and horsemen and the side- walks are crowded at all hours.
 From 10 o'clock in the morning until In the afternoon the heat is intense, but the evenings and nights are cool and delight full. Nothing but American sentiment is heard on the streets or in the cafes. Everywhere the soldier, officer or private' is king, The American flag flies from hundred housetops; red, white and blue ribbons futter from the costumes of Porto Rico's charming daughters, and every where and at all times cries of Long live the Americans" greet the ears of passing soldiers.
 Away from the heat and dust of the town. out beyond the limits of the main camp and along both sides of the military rood lies A country rich and beautiful. 1Ius and valleys are covered with green. Here and there are streams Of water along whose banks are groves of shade trees. Hundreds of acres of cane are in view all the time, and from every pianta- tion rises the tall brick chimney of the su- gar mill. There is no biting frost of New England or windswept Kansas or Nebraska prairie nor barren plains of Arizona or New Mexico. It is a land which the Ameri- can farmef could turn into a veritable "gaI den of the Lord"

Are Daily Reported From the Different Sections of the State-Prominent Git .izens Assassinated While Sleep
 ing Various Cutting Affrays.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2O.-The carnival weeks ago, continues without abatement. Reports of murders, homcides, cutting af frays and tragedies of various kinds are received daily.
 This morning an assa ssinaton somewhat similar to the killing of John T. Orr, which resulted in the lynching of four negroes and the suicide of Mrs. Orr, at Clarendon, occurred at Paragould, when Henry l.. Bramlet, one of the most prominent citi- zens of that place, was shot and killed by an unknown assassin. The tragedy oc- cured about 2 o'clock. Bramlett was asleep alone in his bed when the assassin crept up to his window and shot him, kill ing him instantly. There is no clue to the perpetrator of the crime. Great ex- citement prevails and should the assas- sin be discovered another lynching is in- evitable.
 A terrible cutting affray in which two prominent farmers figured, Is reported from Carroll county. R. c. Massey, accused neighbor named Philips, of making derog- atory remarks concerning him and went to Philips stores for satisfaction. The men fought with knives and Philips was fatally stabbed
 The decomposed body of a well dressed man was found yesterday near Blackville in Comay county The head was entirely severad from the body and the bloody aX near by told the story of fearful crime. The body was unidentified and there is no clue to the murderer
 Yesterday morning, Alvin Smith, young farmer, was found near Mount Pleasant suffering from a fractured skull. He died without regaining consciousness Foul play is suspected and much excitement pre- vails

CREATED A SENSATION.
People of Columbus Resent Insults of
 an Atlanta Paper.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Columbus, Miss, Aug. 2O-The special cablegram in an Atlanta paper of Friday from Santiago charging the Fifth regi- ment of immune infantry, now on duty at that place, with rape, murder, arson, pill lage and all the crimes of the calendar. created a great sensation here To say that the people of Alabama and Mississip- pi resent these accusations against com- mand over which the best citizens are in authority is expressing it mildly
 The Fifth was organized in this city. Its men are from all over the south, and its commander is Colonel H. H. Sargent, as fine a soldier and as'perfect a disciplinarian as ever drew sowrd. His subordinate officers are prominent and conspicuous men from all sections of Mississippi and Ala bama. There is gallant Jim Vardaman and Major Liddell and Major Money, Captains Sharp, Shields and Franks, all Mississip- plans of chivalry and courage. There are Lieutenant-Colonel A. A. Wiley of Mont gomery, and Captains Hixon, Bankhead, Shelley, Harrison and many other promi- nent Alabamians, and to intimate that they would so far relax their discipline as to bring feprOacn upon tnelr cOIi1ndnu anu dishonor upon their country is an insult to them that they will not be slow to resent.
 The Fifth was mobilized here. Two months that the regiment was encamped in this city not single overt act occurred to mar the serenity of their stay. Their conduct and department was exceptional and it elicited the admiration and praise from soldier and civilian alike It was their gentlemanly bearing and soldierly conduct while here more than any other reason that prompted the citizens of Columbus to present them with beautiful stand of colors, and their friends here and eise- where are confident that this foul stain upon their good name and reputation can not be true.
 The proper steps have been taken here and elsewhere to bring this matter petore Colonel Sargent and his officers and other authorities that an investigation may be had and the honor of the regiment vindi- cated.

PLANS ALTERED.
Gen. Davis Troops Will Not Proceed
 to Middleton at Once.

Washington, Aug. 20.-A special to the Star from Thoroughfare Gap, Va, says that orders received last night have con- pletely altered General Davis plans for the movement of his division. An indefinite stay at Thoroughfare has been ordered on account of the lack of water at Middle town, Pa. Another reason is that suffi- cient ground for the entire Second corps cannot be secured there for a reasonable price. Engineer officers are now exam ming ground in the vicinity of Thorough fare with view to selecting a new camp site Some of the places now occupied are low and damp. Filth has already accum- ulated in dangerous quantities and there is urgent need for change. It is expected that every regiment will be on new ground by Tuesday. The men manifest great dis appointment at the changes in the plans.
 Another hospital train containing thirty two patients left Thoroughfare for Bristol, Va, yesterday Most of the men were suffering with typhoid or malarial levers. None of the cases was very serious. Much inconvenience has been caused the men be- cause baggage and personal effects have been sent on to Middletown.
