PORT OF PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. /.
Without seeing or hearing anything
Of the enemy the advance guard of
General Henry's division, which land.
od at Guanica on Thursday, arrived
here Saturday, taking en- route the
cities of Yauco, Talubo. Sabana
Grande and Ponulas. Attempts by
the Spanish to blow up bridges and
otherwise destroy the railway between
Yauco and Ponce failed, only a few
fat cars being burned. Our troops
have fred up the locomotives and are
now operating the road from end to
end, carrying supplies, messages and
men.
At Yauco the Americans were well
coined in an address made by the al.
calde. The people seemed really glad
that the Americans were here; but
they fear an uprising of the natives in
the interior, who, it is asserted, will
rob. kill and destroy property in re-.
venge for many years Of Spanish mis-.
rule.

WADE TO REINFORCE MILES
Ordered to Proceed at Once
With Fifteen Selected
Regiments.
Fifth Corps Now at Santiago to
Return North as Soon
as Possible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The progress
made by the negotiations for peace has
given rise to supposition in some
quarters that hostilities are to be sus-
pended very soon. This will depend
entirely upon the attitude Of the Span.
ish government and the nature of its
answer to our demands. 1t has been
made clear to the French ambassador
that hostilities will not be suspended
except upon the assurance of full
acceptance Of our conditions, and the
Spanish cabinet has doubtless been in.
formed that it depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease. Meanwhile,
as an earnest that our government has
not interrupted the execution Of its
campaign, an order was issued from
the war department for the dispatch of
An Entire Army Division
to reinforce Generals Miles and Brooke
in Porto Rico. This will be known as
the provisional division and will be
commanded by Major General Wade,
at present in command at Camp
Thomas, Chickamauga. He is ordered
to turn over that command to Major
General Breckinridge and to report to
Secretary Alger at Washington for in.
structions before departing for Porto
Rico bringing with him his adjutant
general and his aides. The provisional
division will consist of Is full regi.
ments and General Wade will select
them, not from the troops under his
old command alone. but with particu.
lar reference to an adequate representa-.
ton in the Porto Rican campaign of
all states in the Union.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. l.-Receivership
proceedings have been instituted
against the Wisconsin Central railroad
company, the solvent interest, thus
far, of the Wisconsin Central lines, in
the United States court.
The proceeding is the direct result of
the existing differences between the
trustees, Edwin H. Abbot and John A.
Stewart. There is no difference, how.
ever, as to the insolvency of the com.
pany, the dispute being as to the
method to be pursued. Mr.. Abbot
wished to have it brought in under the
original proceeding against the Wiscon-
sin Central company and he protested
strongly, but Judge Seaman finally
concluded to allow the bill to be filed,
and requiring the parties to show
cause before Judge Jenkins in Septem-
ber, why receivers should not be ap.
pointed.

GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.

Another Science the Great Statesman
Was Familiar With. or
If Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm it was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed 1t in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it, says the Fortnightly peview. To
hurt an opponents feelings gave him
pain and when he did it unintention-
ally he would sometimes cross the floor
of the house, and, sitting for a few mo-
ments by the side of the man whom
he had Just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound. One of his most
persistent. but never ill-natured, crit
les was the late Sir John Pope Hen
messy, who told me the following story
to illustrate this generous trait in Mr..
Gladstones character: Sir John prlded
himself on his knowledge of chemistry
and in one of the debates on the COM
mercial treaty with France he made
speech exposing, as he believed, a Sc
rious chemical blunder in the treaty.
Mr.. Gladstone followed, land soon
turned me inside out in the most anus
ing manner" said Hennessy in relat-
ing the story, proving, as if he had
been a chemist by profession, that it
was I who had Numbered egregiously."
Having thus disposed of his critic Mr..
Gladstone went and sat by him for
moment. 81 hope you don't feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy," he said. Your speech
was ingenious and it may console you
to know that the emperor of the
French made precisely the same objec-
ton that you have made. The fact
is. both you and he know good deal
about chemistry, but not enough to
keen you from going astray."

CoNSUELO's GUESTS.
Taking the Kneipp Cure Every Morning
at Beautiful Blenheim.

Taking the Kneipp Cure Every Morning
at Beautiful BIenheim.
Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough,
inherited from her mother, Mrs. o. H.
P. Belmont, the talent of an expert en-
tertainer Progressive and charming
eleven and rich, she is constantly de-
vising new ways to amuse her guests
and succeeds far beyond most other
hostesses in England. For a month
back she and her husband have been
amusing themselves and their friends
with what they call recuperation par
ties. Blenheim, one of the finest old
country seats in England, is at it's love-
lest in the early fall, and just now is
crowded with guests, mostly young
people resting after their designations
of summer and building up against the
ravages of a winter society campaign
yet to come. The Kneipp cure has
many devotees among Consuelo's
guests, and every morning they may
be seen walking barefooted on denny
lawn as large as city square. Some
where near 100 people are staying at
Blenheim, and over half that number
are taking the Kneipp cure, believing
that dew upon the feet in the morning
acts as a nerve tonic, freshening up
the entire system for all day. The
time for the dew cure is between
and in the morning, for after that
the sun has absorbed the dew. The
walk is taken before breakfast, with
only a glass of milk in the stomach.
The bath follows, then comes break
fast, and after breakfast the Kneipp
girls play tennis. 1t takes only few
days of this treatment to bring back
bright eyes and roses, but whether
improved condition is due to the
Kneipp cure or to the regular life and
early hours which the young duchess
imposes upon her guests may well be
regarded as an open question.

their game, until the stranger, having

seemed more inclined for being put
