which she believed to be chloroform,
and asked her to smell of it, and then
put a handkerchief, moistened from the

ton, which consisted of the Columbia,
Dixie, Gloucester and Yale.
General Miles was on the last named
vessel. The troops were on board the
transports Nueces, Lampasas, Co
manche, Rita, UniOnist Saltwater City
of Macon and Specialist. This was the
order in which the transports entered
the harbor here.
The voyage from Guantanamo bay to
this port was uneventful. At noon yes
terday General Miles called for a con-
sultation, announcing that he was de-
termined not to go by San Juan cape.
but by the Mona passage instead. and
land here, surprise the Spaniards and
deceive their military authorities. The
course was then changed and the Dixie
was sent to warn General Brooke ct
Cape San Juan. Port Guanica has been
fully described by Lieutenant Whitney
of General Miles stan, who recently
made an adventurous tour of Porto
Rico.
Ponce, which is situated ten or 10
miles from this port, is to the eastward
and a harder place to take. In nddi-
ton, the water at Ponce is too shallow
for the transports to be able to get
close inshore. Then, again, Ponce itself
is some little distance from where the
troops would have been able to land
if that point had been selected for the
debarkation of the expedition.
One advantage of this place is that
it is situated close to the railroad con-
nection with Ponce, which means OF
transportation our troops hope to Sc
cure today.
Early this morning the Gloucester,
in charge of Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright, steamed into Guanica har-
Dor in order to reconnoitre the place.
With the fleet waiting outside, the gal

the harbor and found that there were
five fathoms of water close inshOre.
Guanica is a place surrounded by Gull
tivated lands. In the rear are high
mountains. and on the beach 2estles
a village of about 90 houses.
ENEMY SURPRISED.
The Spaniards were completely taken
by surprise. Almost the first thsy knew
of the approach of the army OF invasion
was in the announcement contained in
the firing of gun from the Gloucester,
demanding that the S0aniards haul
down their flag, which was floating
from a flagstaff in front of a block
house standing to the east of the VII,
lage. The first couple of three-0ound-
ers were fired into the hills right anG

then raised on the Flagstaff the -irst

ing cavalrymen were seen climbing the
hills to the westward and the foot SOL
diers were scurrying along the fences
from the town.
ENEMY DRIVEN OUT.
BY 9:45 a. m, with the exception of a
few guerilla shots, the town was won,
and the enemy was driven out of its
neighborhood.
The Red Cross nurses on the Lam
pasas and a detachment of regulars
were the first to land from the trans
ports.
After Lieutenant Huse had captured
the place he deployed his small forces
into the suburbs. But he was soon re-
inforced by the regulars, who were fol-
lowed by company CT of the Sixth I'LL.
nois. and then by other troops in quick
succession. All the boats of the men
of-war transports were used in the
work of landing the troops, each steam
launch towing four or five boats loaded
to the rails with soldiers But every
thing progressed in an orderly manner,
and according to the plans of General
Miles. The latter went ashore at about
noon, after stopping to board the GIou-
cester and thank Lieutenant Comman-
der Wainwright for his gallant action.
General Miles said to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press: "Guanica
and Cinga are in the disaffected por-
ton of the island. Amateo, the insur-
gent leader, lives at Yauco. a few miles
inland Had we landed at Cape San
Juan a line of rifle pits might have
stopped our advance"
There is no doubt that General Miles
plans are being kept absolutely secret.
The spirit of the troops, men and off,
GERS, is admirable.
The Massachusetts, and Illinois con-
tingent, which have been c0oped up on
board the Yale and Rita for a fort
night, will be delighted to get ashore.
and will be well protected by the ar
tillery before a serious advance is be-
gun.
A LOVELY SPOT.
Guanica is the most lovely spot vet
occupied by our forces 1t is the seat
of the coffee and sugar industry. and
large herds of cattle are pasturing in
the meadows, which are bOrdered bv
cocoanut palms. Many head of cattle
and large number of horses have been
driven into the mountains by their
owners. Some of them win be cap
tured.
Ponce is the second city of the is
land, has a splendid harbor, and will
make good base of operations. There
are 10 large coasters this afternoon in
Guanica bay. but only two barges were
captured
1t is likely that the Spanish garrison
from Ponce may try to surprise our
people tonight, but it viii only be an
affair of OutpOsts.
The town of Ponce is sure to fan
shortly before the combined attack of
our army and navy
The main fighting, until San Juan de
Porto Rico is reached, VIII be along the
line of the splendid military road lead
ing from Ponce to San Juan. But everv
precaution will be taken to lessen our
