The Army in Porto Rico.

PONCE, July 31.-This city was TO-
day placarded with posters issued by
the mayor upon the order of General
Wilson, the military governor, demand
ing the surrender of all concealed arms.
A great pile of arms has already been
turned in and those not handed over
are promised tomorrow. The mayor
has issued a proclamation OF the same
tenor as that issued by the mayor OF
Yauco, though not quite SO enthusias-
tic. Even the Spanish local newspa-
pers profess loyalty to the Americans:
The city of Ponce is orderly. General
Wilson has appointed new judges for
the courts, the present ones, VINO are
Spaniards, wishing to go to Spain. The
custom house operations are conducted
by the Americans and the receipts for
three days have been $4,000. Cen
eral Miles says the money will be used
to defray the extraordinary expenses of
the army, and adds that if the average
OF customs receipts Is kept up the
American expedition will be self-sus
tanning. On Monday General Miles
will fix the rate of exchange fur Ameri-
can and Porto Rican money. A saDi-
tary corps has been organized and the
city will be given thorough cleansing.
The soldiers are all well, with the ex-
ception OF few cases of typhoid fever
contracted at Chicsmauga. The move
ment of the army toward San Juan will
he slow, because the commanding Off
GERS want no repetition of the Cuban
mistake and when they start they want
to be ready in every department. To-
day was spent in unloading all of the
supplies and artillery from the ships.

THE CANNON CAsE-The noted Cannon
conspiracy case of Norfolk is about to nave
its last chapter in the pardoning OF Cannon
by the Governor. Cannons aged father is
che petitioner, and tho Governor will grant
his request. Young Cannon was sentenced 10
. term of imprisonment and TO fine of
81 900. He if q fugitive from justice, and
is somewhere in Canada, where, it is said, he
is i'll with consumption. His father offers to
nay the fine, if biz son is pardoned, on the
condition that he stay oct of Virginia. The
Governor has been considering the case fof
some time. He aud those who heard the
fathers appeal were touched. The question
that has been giving the trouble is as to the
Governors right to pardon fugitive from
justice. He is about convinced that he has
authority, and has practically made up his
mind to exercise executive clemency.

GEN. WILSON, in Porto Rico, like
Gen. Shafter had to do in Cuba, has
had to exert his military authority in
order to prevent the insurgents from
massacreipg the Spapiards who have
surrendered to the U. S. army. Ard
yet it it was, nominally, to secure home
rule for the men who desire to massacre
defenseless prisoners, that the Spanish

DID Nor FELIEvE IN SOCIAL EQUALITY
A dispatch from Tampa under date of July
81 tn says:
Two negro cavalrymen, with pistols in
their hands, walked into the Saratogs saloon
Just before II o'clock last night. having with
them four white cavalrymen, who were adj
vocating social equality. as the drinks were
ordered by the neg oes they made remark
that was insulting to any man raised in the
South ]. F. Quinn, of the Second Georgia
Regiment, was standing near and heard the
remark. Quinn had been discharged from
the regiment he enlisted in for physical disa-
bility, but he did not feel that this made any
difference in his fighting ability, so he made a
reach for the nearest negro cavalryman and
tried to wrest the pistol from his hand. The
negro cavalryman pulled away and, with his
colorcd companion, made a break for the
door, with Quinn in close pursuit. One of the
white men drew his revolver and fired at
Quinn, but his aim was bad. and w. K.
Cleveland, of Dsdc City, who is an engineer
on the Florida Central and PEI insular Kail-
road received the ball in his right leg,

spaniard-Hunting in Porto Rico

PONCE, July 81, via St. Crolx, Aug. l..
Porto Rico is turning American as
fast as the United States troops advance.
The Americans do not have 10 hunt The
Spanish volunteers the citizens are
doing that for them. Imagine city OF
80, 900 inhabitants eight-tenths of whom
are hunting the other two-tepths and
bringing them in by the nape ofthe neck
and the seat of the trousers, or wherever
they can get hold of them, one. two or
three at time to the city. Spread
over miles of country here and there at
frequent intervals may be seen body
OF from twenty to fifty excited persons
surrounding louise, shouting and yell
Jag at the top OF tneir voices. After q
while some of them dash off and pre-
sently come back to the American
soldiers. Then the whole crowd yell ::
There he is catch him, catch him ~
The soldiers then go in and pull out a
miserable, shaking understood indi-
vidual and make of with him TO the
military headquarters. The poor wretch
gets to chatterlng expressions OF his con-
viction that he is going to be killed,
and the excited crowd follow so closely
that the soldiers have to point their
bayonets at them to protect the prison
er. The crowd yell and some draw
their fingers across their Threats threat
ingly, which does not have very reas-

In THE death of Prince Bismarck the
world has lost one of its greatest men.
Unlike Gladstone, who crossed the
river but short while before him,
there was no yariableness nor shadow OF
turning in his public views and opiL-
ions; what those views and opinions
were are first, they were at last. He
was as firm as rock and was consist
ency personifed, and was therefore re-
spected even by his enemies.

No MATTER what, if any, or how
much, indemnity may be asked of, or
paid by, Spain for the war that was
forced upon her, not one silver will
ever reach the pockets of the people of
this country who have been taxed to
nav the enormous and unnecessary war
expenses. Money taken away from the
individual citizen by taxes on neces-
saries, is never paid back to him: such
money is gone forever from him and
his heirs.

Peace Not In Sight

From the New York Mail and Express.
 The reported action of President Mckin- ley in suggesting to Atlanta the desirabiilty of changing the title of it's December peace jubilee celebration by emitting the word peace and making the affair nominaliy a celebration of the victory of American arms, is wise. It is not to be denied that there has been thus far too much harping upon peace" a sequel of the armistice arranged with Spain. A result has been more or less widespread popular misappre- hension on this side of the Atlantic of the exact status of our dispute, and on the other subsequently, in Madrid and Paris misinterpretation of these peace cries as an evidence of American weakness Ire Chicago peace jubilee, admirable in spirit, was hardly fortunate in its time schedule; and the same may be said of Philadelphia. To have Atlanta advance toward third ante-climax just as the treaty is about to be drafted at Paris and before peace is as sured, is to increase pending difficulties. The president has acted wisely.

HORSE THIEF AN

GOT HORSE AT SMITH MINES

Henry Turner, colored, charged with stealing horse from Henry Taylor, at Smith mines, was landed in the county jail yesterday, having been captured in Shelby county after an exciting chase.
 About one week ago Taylors horse was missing and suspicion pointed strongly to Turner, who disappeared about the same time.
 The sheriffs office was notified and mo- tices were sent out to the officials of the surrounding counties in the hope of appre- hending the Rough Rider" One of the notices fell into the hands of l.. O. McClendon, a constable of Shelby county, who heard of horse trade in his precinct. On investigation he found that a strange negro had come through the dis trict and had traded his horse for another and had gotten several dollars ito boot" He soon found that he was on the right track and set out after the horse trader, following him so closely that he was com pelled to swim the Cahaba river, which was swollen from recent rains, four times before capturing him.
 Sheriff O'Brien was notified of the arrest and deputized the constable to bring the prisoner to this city.
 Turner is said to have previously figured in horse trades to the detriment of the "other man." and other cases may be charged against him.

~THE PLAYS

Chas. E. Blaney, a very bad author; "A Hired Girl'' his product" and very rot ten play; fourteen people, very bum in stage business. All these comnbied to make probably 200 people very tired at O'Brien's last night.
 Birmingham has seen one of Blaneys productions already this season-"A Boy Wanted" "A Hired Girl is even worse; imagine th's, if you can, and you will have line on the play. Birmingham could probably stand one of Blaney's productions in ten years, but two in one short, brief season-never!
 The author calls "A Hired Girl" a ye- hice for clever vaudeville artists. It may be a vehicle, but it didn't have the load its author credited to it when seen last night. It is more of d vehicle for Thos. Ryan to put on female garb, a loud Irish brogue and make himself generally disgusting in horse play and coarse, vulgar jokes. It may be a vehicle--an old. worn-out wagon without springs-on which very ugly and unshapely women and men without talent are hauled, stamping, shrieking and railing before a suffering audience. They were try ing to be funny; they were trying to dance; they were trying to sing. Credit them, please, with the attempt. Jokes of other years were turned over in the'r tombs, and but one was up-to-date. This up-to-date laugh producer was put in the mouth of the woman wearing the longest name on the programme, Happy Fannie Fields. She walked "cute'' in the part of Little Weiner, and not to violate the conscience she did not look happy. The joke-it was about the lobster. In every show this season there is something about the lobster Every thing is laid on the lobster. The lobster is the center around which the fun revolves How he got so famous I don't know. It is certain that there were lobster and lob ster jokes on the stage last night To make this joke the fresher. Blaney put in- to Happy Fannie Fields mouth that an- cient smile provoking conundrum-of how to sit on the eye of a stove to keep the smoke in. There might have been more up-to-date business at the end, patriotic airs, the introduction of Mckinley, war heroes. or something of the sort, but I didn't wait to see 1t.

 The New York society debutante who cannot point to miion-dollar dowry might just as well not debut. Let her re- tire to Schenectady, or Orange, or some other rustic town, where she will be looks ed on as belle if she dresses tiptop and is very naughty. The New York heiress is few, but she will have it all her own way this winter. Her appearance at the horse show has been canvassed, and her points" as much discussed as are those of the equine beauties on the tanbark. According to correct calculation. there is just five of this New York heiress. and when one calls a girl that, it means she has millions at her back.
