COULDN'T HEAR THEM.

Mckinley Turns Deaf Ear to
Spain's Suggestion That Porto Rico
Be Left to Them.
London, Aug. 9,-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: To-day
all the best authorities agree that the
government has decided to accept the
American conditions. The American
reply to Spain's request for explana-
lions reached Madrid Friday evening
The text is not diyulged, but it is
known that it brought little consola-
ton, President Mckinley turned a
deaf ear to the suggestion that Porto
Rico might be left to Spain and COM
pensation sought elsewhere. Regard
ing the Philippines the reply was not
altogether satisfactory, but it was of
such a nature that there was no long
er any necessity for postponing a de-
cision on the main question.

purpose are now on the way to San

Ambassador Horace Porter, Senator
w. Il. Allison and Justices John Mar
shall Harlan and Henry Billings
Brown, of the United States supreme
court. are among those who are likely
to be selected as peace commissioners.
1t is now believed that at least three
of these five names will be attached 10
the treaty of peace between the Unit
ed States and Spain. In connection
with the probable selection of Secre-
tary Day as one of the commissioners,
the important announcement can be
made that he will at an early date re-
tire from the office of secretary of
state, and after concluding his ,labors
as a member of the commission, re-
sumo the practice Of law in Canton.
Senator Davis is being mentioned as

Asserts That Spain Bows to the
Force of Circumstances.
Madrid, Aug. 8, According to the
most reliable sources Of information
the Spanish note is couched in digni-
fed language. 1t asserts that Spain
bows to the force of circumstances,
having done nothing to provoke the
war into which she has been unWil-
lingly led in the defense Of her rights
and territory. 1t expresses willing
ness to appoint delegates to meet the
American commissioners to discuss
regime for the Philippines. 1t is I'M
derstood that both Senior Sagasta and
the foreign minister told the queen re-
gent that they felt deeply the painful
duty circumstances imposed upon
them.

Hearsay Evidence on the NewfOund-
land Coast Mystery.
st. Johns, n. f., Aug. 9.-Inspector
O'Reilly, of the revenue police, has ar.
rived here from Tilt Cove. He stated
that he examined the man Jenkins,
who brought the news there respecting
the reported loss of line steamship.
Jenkins, who lives at Bryant's Cove,
thirteen miles across Penguin PENN
sula, says a schooner from Quirpon is
land, off the northern extremity of
Newfoundland, at the entrance to the
strait of BelleIsles, arrived there and
reported that on the previous night,
while in the Straits of Belle Isle, she
saw the lights of a steamer and heard
a terrible crash, followed quickly by a
screaming as of victims of marine
disaster. Then there was absolute
silence, as if all had sunk. Jenkins
walked across the peninsula to convey
the news, but had neglected to Ques-
ton the crew of the schooner closely
to the details. He was sent back by
the officer to make further inquiries,
but the schooner had sailed again for
the fishing grounds. The inspector
says that majority of the people in
that section believe that a disaster has
occurred.

Yellow journalism is new name for

all the journalistic nastiness IN this
country today sprung from similar IN
situations in England) In the witness

gravely continued the trial, adjudged

Cuayama, Porto Rico, Aug. 9.-After
a sharp skirmish with 400 Spaniards,
in which three Americans were
wounded, the town Of Guayama, the
principal point on the southeastern
coast Of Porto Rico, was captured by
Gen. Haines. Our men had to fight
their way through Spanish bullets in
order to get into the town, and they
were forced to repel an attack made
by the Spaniarls soon after the town
had fallen. This they did with marked
success, and the Stars and Stripes
now float over another American pos
session. All of the three Americans
who were wounded in the skirmish are
il the Fourth Ohio regiment. 1t is not
known what casualties the enemy
had. The Fourth Ohio. Col. Colt, and
the Third Illinois, Col. Bennit, with
two dynamite guns, all under COM
mand of Gen. Haines. composed the
Guayama road from Arroyo. Gen.
Haines ordered his men to advance
cautiously and their progress was
slow. When the Americans had
reached a point about three miles from
Arroyo they were viciously attacked
on both their right and left TANKS.
Col. Colts Ohio troops, who were
leading the advance. were splendidly
handled and did telling work against
the enemy. The Spaniards for a time
managed to conceal themselves be-
hind their barricades, but the Ameri-
cans soon got at them and
Poured Terrific Fire
SlzI
for tho Spaniards long to withstand
this fire, and they soon retreated. AS
the American troops entered the town
they found it practically deserted. All
OF the houses had been closed, and
the Ohio regiment raised its colors
over the town hall. A crowd of citi-
zens soon gathered about the invading
troops and welcomed them with en-
thusiasm. Whilye this demonstration
was under way the Spaniards re-
turned, making a heavy attack on the
town from the north. The Fourth Ohio
was sent out to engage the enemy,
and a hot fight between the two bodies
of troops took place during the next
two hours. The dynamite guns were
finally put in position by the Ameri-
cans and five shots were fired. These
completely silenced the enemy, and
our men are now holding the town Sc
curely. Gen. Haines has been very
CCnsiderate in the treatment of his
men and has matters well in hand. He
says he does not need reinforcements
at present in order to retain the adj
vantage gained in the days opera
tons. The conduct of the Ohio men
under fire was admirable. When the
first attack came they displayed no
evidence of nervousness. Being
armed with rag-Jorgensons, they
considered themselves a match for the
Spaniards. The dynamite battery did
excellent service.
