HoBSoN KISSED HER.
Miss Arnold, of st. Louis, Honors the
the Hero and Is HOnored

New York. Aug. G-Although Lieut..
Hobson is in great demand for kisses,
he is very modest concerning his achieve
ments in this line. When he arrived at
the Long Island Railroad station this
morning and was asked about his re-
ported kissing of Miss Arnold. of st.
Louis. at the Long Beach reception last
evening. he said:
81 guess you'll have to ask some one
else about that" His color was decidedly
high.
There was a great crowd awaiting the
hero at the railroad station. Many per-
sons squeezed their way up to him to
press his hand and 10 urn back to the

small miss in his arms whom he desired
that the hero should kiss. Mr. Smith ex-
planned that the young miss was Ethel
May Smith, his daughter. and that she
was only two years old. This reassured
the hero of the Merrimac and ne pre-
sented the young lady with very admir-
able salutation. And the crowd
cheered, Lieut. Hobson edged away. Miss
Smith was delighted.

wanted to see the Spanish command

The correspondent said he could not
wait so long. but would return to the
American lines and get proper authori-

Spanish commander at the same pace
at o'clock next day. He then asked
the size of the garrison and the ser

told the sergeant to be sure to nave

The correspondent returned to his
carriage and saluted and lifted his
hat. The Spaniards returned the sa-
lutte. The correspondent got back to
the American lines safely, and did not

Makes Few Reports.

II appears that Gen. Miles is averse to
making reports unless he has something
in the nature of substantial progress to
communicate. The message received from
him yesterday conveyed the first official
information of the arrival of Generals
Brooke and Haines, with the latter's bri-
gade and it also gives the Department
some insight into Gen. Miles's plan of
campaign, of which little is known among
military authorities here beyond daily de-
velopments.
Guayama, the town just captured, is
situated on the south coast Of Porto RI
co, about five miles inland and is very
nearly as important as Ponce, than which
Ii is but a trife smaller.
No Hnrbor Connection.
1t has no harbor communication with
the sea, and the invaders had a march
of several miles from their landing point
to the attack. Being the third largest
town on the island, the capture of Guaya-
ma is a victory of no small significance.
highly appreciated, perhaps, because of
its easy accomplishment. However, any
one familiar with the situation from
military point of view, will readily recog-
nize the strategical advantages arising
out Of it's possession by the American
forces.
From Guayama inland an excellent road
leads to Cayey, between fifteen and twen-
ty miles distant which place has been
selected as rendezvous for such part of
the invasion army as lands on the south
ern coast. Ponce. Guayama and Cayey
form a triangle, which converges from
the first two towns near the south coast
line inland half way across the island to
Cayey. All operations against San Juan
from the south will be directed from
Cayeywhich communicates with the cap
ital by rail and good wagon roads.
Here Gen. Haines, with his brigade. to-
gether with al the forces which follow
him, will join Gen Miles.
The Plans Unfolding.
Gradually the Porto Rican plan of
campaign unfolds itself. The invaders
will close in upon San Juan from ali
sides, and the navy will attack it from
the sea
Landings have already been effected on
three of the islands. Gen Miles landed
near the southeastern corner at Ponce:
Gen. Haines near the southwestern cor
ner. at Guayama; Gen. Stone near the
northeast corner, at Barcelonita. and
Gems Grant and Coppinger are expected
TO land at Fajardo, which is near the
northeast corner.
BY the time the American forces, mov-
ing from these four points, have arrived
at San Juan every town of any con-
sequence on the island will be floating

slowly present themselves. His opera

military experts, who are half inclined In

campaign should meet with so little re-

Real Fight mt San Juan.
The feeling is stii general that the
Spaniards will make their only real fight
at San Juan. Probably no resistance
would have been offered at Guayama had
1t not been for the experience of the
commander at Ponce who is now threat
ened with court-martial for his peaceful
surrender. Little fighting is expected in
the interior.
There are no towns between Guayama
and Cayey, and Gen. Haines Will doubt
less press forward to the appointed rem
devious without delay, leaving only
sufficient force behind to hold the cap
tured city.
Gen. Miles is expected to reach Cayey
in advance of Gen. Haines. but IL mat
ters not a great deal, since little or no
resistance is expected now before the
army has come to the outposts of the
