COAMO, Porto Rico, August 10, II M
Troop Of New York pursued the party of
fleeing Spanish engineers, after the capture
of Coamo yesterday, distance of four
miles along the road to Afbonito.
The Americans were checked at the
Cuyon river, where the Spaniards had
blown up the bridge, and were shelled from

John Addison Porter. secretary to the
President. left this afternoon for the

brother Of the former governor. The

are already claiming the convention.
Mr.. Porter has taken no active part in

his campaign. His position on state af-
fairs Is said to be conservative, and he is
making no promises to make appointments.
His refusal to make these promises has

EXPLOITS OF THE UNCAs.
Put Ashore All Her Latest Expedition
for Gomez.

The tug Uncas, commanded by Lieut. r.
Brainerd, reached Key West yesterday
after an exciting fortnight of blockade
duty on the north Cuban coast. On this
her latest trip, the Uncas put ashore all
her expedition for Gomez, and had a dan
gerous fire in her hold. just above the
magazines. In spite of all this, she looked
none the worse when she steamed into
Key West harbor FOR more coal and pro-
visions.
When the Uncas left Key West two
weeks ago she carried Captain Steele of
Gomez's staff, with six other Cubans and
500 Remington carbines and ammunition
for tho insurgent commanders forces. The
next morning overturned cook stove in
the forecastle started a fire.
The UncaS was then only two or three
miles off Havana, and well-directed shell
from any Of the land batteries would have
sent her to the bottom. Those on board
the Uncas could see the troops of Spaniards
about the guns ashore, but no deadly mes
sengers came their way, and after the fire
had been extinguished the tug proceeded
to Cay Confites, near Caibarien, where she
put her little Cuban party ashore without
encountering q Spaniard.
1t was while lying on Matanzas, q day
or two ago, the Uncas was fired upon. As
she steamed away the Uncas returned the
fire with her three forward and after six
Founders.
Then occurred a little incident iliustrat-
ing the superstitions of seamen. The last
shell from the Uneas' stern gun had Just
screamed Its way across the waters when
a gaudy winged butterfly which had blown
off the shore hovered over the still smok-
ing gun and settled down on It's grim mug
zle.
A horny-fsted Irish7nan who manned
the glin saw II, threw up his hands and
shouted to Lieut.. Brainerd: Say, captain,
that settles it. That's tho last shot we'll
fire in this war"
And there Is not a man on the tug who
is not thoroughly convinced that the but
terhy'S visit was q sure forerransr Of

MADE A STRONG PROTEST
The Hawaiian Commissioners Objected to the
Hariposa's Condition.
Nevertheless They Had to Sail on Her,
Having No Other Means of
Transportation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. August 11.-The
steamer Mariposa. conveying the Hawaiian
commissioners and 154 men of the 1st New
York Volunteers to Honolulu, sailed shortly
after O'Clock this morning. She was de-
tained at her dock all night awaiting the
arrival of delayed English mails.
The Examiner says:
when the Hawaiian commission embark
ed on the steamer Mariposa they found the
passenger deck stacked with boxes Of
onions. Senators Morgan and Cullom and
Representative Hit made a strong protest
to Captain Hayward against the ship
sailing in such condition. They de-
clared that it was an outrage and an
insult to the government to convert the
vessel which was to carry the official rep
resentatives on such an important mission
into freight ship. Further than this, they
asserted that it was unsafe to proceed to
sea under such conditions. Every berth on
the steamer was taken, and a number of
passengers could not get sleeping accommo-
dations. The commission was obliged to re-
main on the vessel, for the reason that it
could not secure any other means of trans
portation.'

The commissioner of internal revenue
has made the following ruling in regard to

in the war revenue act:
1.-The intention of the law was to tax
original issues of certificates of stock and
to impose a tax upon every change of own
ership. When stock is transferred for
which no certificate has been issued and
the evidence of transfer is shown only
by the books of the company the stamps
shall be placed on such books. Where the
change OF ownership is by the transfer Of
a certificate and the certificate contains a
blank form of assignment on the back
which is filled in by the insertion of the
name OF the person to whom the stock is
transferred the stamp shall be placed upon
the certificate
IN case of an agreement to sell or where
the transfer is by the delivery of the cer
tIflcate, signed in black. the name of the
transferee or vendce to be filed in after
ward. there shall be made and delivered
by the seller to the buyer bill or memo
randnm of sale, to which the stamp should
be affixed. n 3

tnat the law does mot apply to such per-
sons whose business 1t is TO seek out Gus
toners and take their orders on samples
furnished by the merchant and then pur-
ehase receive and; forward the goods on
e. commission a discount allowed by the
merchant But persons who have running
accounts at large stores and whose friends
and customers make purchases at such
stores and have the goods which they but
charged to these accounts, the person In
whose name the account stands collecting

time and making monthly settlements
with the stores and being allowed dis
counts are subject to tax.
