seized Arroyo and Guayama and hoist
ed the Stars and Stripes over both
places. BY this stroke General Miles
Will be able to land troops ut the
southeastern corner OF the island, and
cut on forty miles OF the march upon
San Juan.
No opposition was offered to the
Americans when the st. Louis, the
Wasp and the Gloucester entered
Gunyama Bay. Captain Goodrich
landed small detachment of men
from his vessel. leading them In per-
son into the little village OF Arroyo.
Finding themselves in undisputcd
possession. the American army then
pressed forward TO Guayama. five
miles distant. where they were able to
establish themselves without resist
ance. There Is a dirt road from Ar
royo to Cayey. where II connects with
the military road extending from
Ponce to San Juan.
The Wasp and Gloucester left Port
OF Ponce early this morning to meet
the ST. Louis. They entered Guayama
Bay ahead Of the auxiliary cruiser. to
reconnoiter. Encountcring no opposi-
tion, Captain Goodrich took n party OF
men ashore. They seized the town OF
Arroyo without resistance and raised
the American flag. They then went

Arroyo and thirty miles cns; of Ponce.
Guayama. 1t was learned had been
abandoned on Friday night by Span

the war with Chill and Peru. Then
came the cost Of the tcn-year war. be-
gan In 1S6s. and the little war" Of 1850.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS

Washington. u. c.. Aug. 1.-The Pos,
tomorrow will say:
president Mckinley will call an ex.
ira session OF both houses OF Congress
as soon as Spain accepts the terms of
peace offered by the United States.
'lt has always been understood that
the Senate will be convened ns soon
rs the treaty OF peace was ready Ia
In acted upon by that body. The at
tention Of the President has been
called. however. to a situation which
makes the assembling Of the entire
Congress necessary. This situation can
be explained In few words.
Under the law which provides for
the raising Of the volunteer army. that
army goes out Of existence us soon as
the war ccnse~.
when this law was framed II was
not for moment supposed that after
the war had ended there would le any
necessity Of keeping the army intact.
THE Developments Of the war make
u very evident that instead Of sending
the army back to civil life. fully IOO,-
tsU men Will continue to liz needed.
II IL the present Intention to distribute
no less than 5000 soldiers throughout
Cuba. with 10000 In the Philippines
nnd probably 20,O0O In Porto Rico. lin.
der the law. as soon ns hosti ilities cease
the volunteer army Is disban,led and
the regular goes back to Its peace foot.
Ing. thus leaving only 31.OOO men In
the service. This II a total far too
small for the work that will lr re-
qnircd. Consequently. the Md OF Con.
gress will bc needed to frame new
laws which Will keep mn adequate
army for garrison purposes.
In addition To this. laws must h.
passed To meet the new requirements
of government In the Philippines aud
Porto Rico.
''The President Is naturally avcrsc Ia
calling Congress together during the
hot weather. and II may bc decided
That the war Is not ended until tn.
Senate hns ratified the treaty of peace.
In this case, Congress- will not NEE,
until the first or middle Of September,
ms II will take nj least month or six
weeks for the full details Of the treaty
10 ie discussed aud framed. The pres.
cnt outlook Is. however. for an extra
session at much eariIcr period, In
the hope that It's work can le con.
clnded befor" the fall campaign has
reached It's height.
