An Aggressive Movement VIII Soon
Take Place.
Washington, July 19-The president
had a conference with Secretary Alger
and Secretary Long and Capt. CROWN
shield, chief of the bureau of nayaga-
ton, and a member of the naval war
board. 1t was stated after the meet
ing that plans had been discussed for
an aggressive movement in which
both army and navy will take part
against Puerto Rico. Before going to
the White House Secretary Alger had
been in conference with Gen. Brooke
for two hours. They had before them
a large number OF maps of Puerto
Rico and the plans of campaign We're
discussed from every point OF view.
1t is said that Gen. Miles will go di-
rect from Santiago to Puerto Rico and
that Gen. Stone and Col Michler, of
his staff, viii leave New York IL a
day or two to join the general at San
tiago. Secretary Long would not dis
cuss the naval programme except to
say that active preparations are on
foot for the next forward movement
1t may be two or three days before the
details
OF the New Invasion
are worked out but it is probable that
before the end of the present week
the military forces of the expedition
will have effected a landing not far
from San Juan Prior to the landing
a naval demonstration probably will
be made against the San Juan fOrtifi-
cations. The vessels taking part in the
bombardment will be part of the
fleet of Admiral Sampson, but what
vessels have been ordered to Puerto
Rico could not be ascertained. No
definite decision has been reached as
to the strength and personnel of the
land forces to be sent to Puerto Rico
For time it was supposed that few,
if any, of the troops now under Gen.
Shafter's command at Santiago would
be sent to Puerto Rico, but it is now
known that at least a part Of Skaters
command will be in the new eXpedi-
ton. The president realizes that the
war can be prosecuted to a speedy and
successful issue only by pressing the
advantages already gained. and. as one
of the officials expressed it: 1.-THE pres
ident proposes to strike while the iron
is hot"

During our civil war the United
States sanitary commission expended
about $21, Oo0,Ooo for the relief of sick
and wounded federal soldiers. The Red
Cross society is said to have expended
in the Russo Turkish war SIT, 900, 900
and in the -Prussian war $13,-
900, 900. These figures make powerful
appeal to the imagination, if one stops
TO reflect ON the conditions which call
for such gigantic OUTLAWS; and they also
illustrate the demand which modern
warfare makes upon humanity's sym
pathetic nerve.

The parents of the children who at
tended school in Baltimore have
started an investigation as II why their
children have been ailing, and why
they have not made satisfactory prog
ress in their school tasks. In one
building it was found that heat was
Furnished by stoves, and there was no
provision for ventilating except by
movable window sashes which caused
draughts and colds. Even in the newer
buildings heated by furnaces the con-
ditions were hardly better. The rooms,
too. were imperfectly lighted, badly
drained and seriously overcrowded, and
there we're passageways around them
instead of schoolyards. Prof. Wood
bridge has launched severe arraign-
ment against the persons responsible
for such school conditions as those
found in Baltimore. He says that II
the aggregate of all expenses of sick
ness and of the values represented in
vital and mental energy lost, in broken
health and premature death, in retard-
ed educational development in pupils
and in the diminished intellectual force
of teachers is the result of bad air, tax
payers are justified in condemning the
practices which are responsible for
them as malfeasant and in demanding
that such faithlessness to high obllga-
lions be held as a crime

to American Waters.
Washington. July 10. - information
has reached the government that with
a view to protecting her own coast and
embarrassing this country in it's opera
lions against Puerto Rico the Spanish
authorities are thinking of dividing
what remains of SPANS navy and
sending a portion of it to American
waters This government, however
expects to be able to divide its forces
so as not only to dispatch Commodore
Watson toNthe Spanish coast with "a
formidable force, but to retain under
Admiral SIMPSONS command a fleet
which will protect the blockading
squadrons of Puerto Rico and Cuba
and the North Atlantic coast and the
troopships which will convey the army
of invasion to Puerto Rico.

Santiago de Cuba, July 10. The
American flag is floating III triumph
over the governors palace at Santiago
Gle Cuba. Gen. McKibbin has been ap-
pointed temporary military governor.
The ceremony of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost. A vast concourse
of 10000 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that will live lot
ever in the minds of allothe Americans
present. A finer stage setting for
dramatic episode it would be difficult
ii imagine. The castle, a picturesque
old building in the Moorish style OF
architecture, faces the Plaza Del
Reina the principal public square.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood q picked troop of the Sec
ond cavalry, with drawn sabers, I'M
der command of Capt. Brett. MaSsed
on the stone tagging between the band
and the line of horsemen were the
brigade commanders of Gen. Skaters
divisions with their staffs. On the red
tiled roof of the palace stood Capt. Nc
Kittrick, Lieut.. Miley and Lieut..
Wheeler AS the chimes Of the old ca
thedral rang out the hour of II the
infantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American Uncovered
and Capt McKittrick hoisted the Stars
and Stripes. AS the brilliant folds I'M
furIed in a gentle breeze against
f1eckless sky the cavalry band broke
into the strains of 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" making the American pulse

with joy. At the same instant the
sound of the distant booming Of Capt.
Capron's battery, firing a salute of
tWenty-one guns, drifted in. When the
music ceased from all directions
around our line came floating across
the plaza the strains of the regimental
bands, and the muffied, hoarse cheers
of our troops. The ceremony over,
Gen. Shafter and his staff returned to
the American lines, leaving the city in
the possession of the municipal au-
thorities, subject to the control of Gen.

DfsapDOintment Over the Lack OF
Details of the Surrender.
Washington, July Is. - There was
considerable disappointment in admin
istration circles because no details con-
corning the surrender of Santiago
were received. Secretary Alger and
Secretary Wilson remained with the
president until IL o'clock, and when
they left not a word had been received
during the evening. The president
was gratified that the surrender had
occurred but was anxious for more
details. During the evening numerous
kilograms were received from differ
ent parts of the country congratulate
ing the president upon the success at
Santiago, some of them stating that
bonfires were blazing in celebration OF
the event.

FARMERS BENEFIT.
Their Profits Have Rolled and VIII
Roll Eigh.


The Chicago Inter. leland says:
One Of the sure results of the war
between the United States and
Spain will be the opening up of
new opportunities for trade. 1t is
most fortunate that coincident
with this enlargement of CONNER
cial openings comes most re-
markable boom in agriculture.
During the Civil War farmers of
this country were paid high
prices for their products, but it
was in deprecated currency. Now
the money paid them is gold or its
equivalent. There is nothing
fictitious about this boom.
A recent dispatch from New
York to the Inter Ocean gave the
results of a systematic inquiry on
a broad scale into the present
agricultural condition of the
country. 1t seems that the receipts
of our farmers for last year ex.
ceeded those of 1896 by just about
a round billion of dollars. This is
a good deal of "velvet" - enough,
in fact,to pay off the national debt
at the time General Harrison re-
tired from the Presidency.
1t is estimated that not less than
S100,OO0,O00 of farm mortgages
were paid off last year, or the same
amount, substantially, as the ag-
gregate of the 5000 and less sub
scriptions to the popular war loan.
Each of these S1O0,000,000 testifes
to the boom IN American sgricul-
ture, and is to be set down to its
general credit.
The prospects for n a. year are
good. Prices, especially in wheat,
are not likely to keep up to the
high water mark of last year, but
as compared with other years it is
reasonably certain that the range
of prices will be high. The yield |
will certainly be good. From the
Atlantic seaboard to the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains the farm.
ers have great reason to be serene
ly content with the turn in the
tide of agriculture.

SECOND HILO SALOON.
Retail Liquor License Issued TO Joseph
q. Serrao.

Retail Liquor License Issued TO Joseph
G. Serrao.
Hilo has been worrying along
from time immemorial with one
liquor saloon. A visitor who was
satisfied with the outside wetting
the Hilo sky literally bestows on
both the just and unjust might
have stayed in the town a month
and not known there was even
one saloon in the place. The
establishment is a right smart
distance away from the business
heart of the town, and housed in
a frontier-like cabin iuconspi-
cuos excepting for its miniature
dimensions. Still a rangefnder
is not needed to locate it, as it is
on Front street aud the route to
Cocoanut Island Yet remote
enough it is from the active life of
Hilo to make the thirsty kamaai-
ma 60 to restaurant for beer in
preference. There is no license
to sell intoxicants held by any
restaurant, but that is question
that, as a Judicial decision would
say. ut is not necessary to con-
slider in this inquiry"
For some time past it has been
understood that the authorities
were not averse to granting an
other liquor license for Hilo.
There has therefore been keen
competition to secure the prize.
Wholesale houses were behind the
individual competitors. Yester-
day the license was issued from
the Interior Office to Joseph G.
Serrao, who has a good grocery
business at Hilo. He will open
saloon on Waianuenue near Front
street. 1t is his intention to fit
the place up in good style, but
whether he will stand behind the
bar himself or put in an expert
mixologist from the city is not as
yet known. Mr.. Serrao left for
Hilo in the steamer Maui this
morning.
