 WASHINGTON, July 26.-The news of the landing of General Miles at Guanica, on the southwest shore of Porto Rico, came as genuine surprise to the War Department. It had all been carefully planned that he was to make his landing at another point, as remote as possible from the place where he actually landed, so there was little wonder that the officials received the first news of the landing with in- credulity, and even went to the length of suppoSing that the story had been put afloat in order to distract attention from the point which had been selected.
 Just why General Miles made this wide departure from the plans of the department is not known, but it is sup posed that he had gathered some infor- nation since he left Siboney that in duced him to make the change. The result, however, has been to perplex the department officials deeply and to considerably derange their carefully prepared programme for the remain der of the expedition. It will now be necessary to intercept the sections of the expedition already at sea, heading for certain selected points on the coast of Porto Rico and to advise them of the change in the plans.
 It is another exhibition of the reli- ance placed by the Government in the dispatches of the Associated Press that 1t proceeded to act at once in the direc- tion indicated and to take steps to noti- fy the sections afloat without waiting for news from General Miles himself.
 General Wilson's brigade Is now ap- preaching the island, being due there to-day or tomorrow, and reinforce ments will follow at intervals of one or two days until the whole force of 30,000 men is landed, unless events con nected with the peace negotiations make 1t expedient to stop future move ments. However. 1t is a matter for congratulation to the War Depart ment that General Miles has managed to set foot on Porto Rico before the first overtures for peace. and thus to place the island in the same posi- ton as Cuba and the Philippines, namely. as territory at least partially in the possession of the United States at the beginning of the negotiations.

 There are no casualties among the ships company to report; No officer or man was injured during the engagement; Naval Cadets Frank, Taylor. Evans and John E.. Lewis and five men belonging to the Massachusetts were on board the They were stationed at different points and rendered efficient service.
 The, officers and men of this ship be5 have done more gallant service.
 l take pleasure in stating to you, sir, that the coolness and judgment of the ex- Raymond P. Rodgers. deserves, and will, l hope, receive a proper reward at. the hands of the Government The test of the executive officers work is the con- duct of the ship and crew in battle-in this case it was simply superb.
 The coolness of the navigator, Lieuten- K. Hill. in charge of the rapid-fre guns on the upper deck, are worthy of the greatest commendation Other officers of the ship did not come under my personal observation. but the result of the action shows how we'll they did their duty.
 I cannot express my admiration for my magnificent crew. So long as the enemy showed his flag they fought like Ameri- can seamen. but when the flag came down they were as gentle and tender as Ameri- can women.
 In conclusion. sir. allow me to congratu- late you on the complete victory achieved by your fleet. Very respectfully,

 Captain U. S. Navy. Commanding To the Commander-in-Ch U. s. Naval

SAMPSON WANTED TO
 AFFIX HIS SIGNATURE
Claimed the Right to Sign the Arti- ticles of the Capitulation of
 Santiago

NEW YORK, July 26-A Washington special to the Herald says: Concern ing the report that General Shafter re- fused to permit Admiral Sampson to sign articles of equalization at Santiago until ordered to do so by the President, I am informed that neither General Shafter nor Admiral Sampson signed the document. There was, however, some question raised about the pro- priety of Admiral Sampson participant ing in the negotiations for the surren- der of General Torars forces. Indeed, I am told that Admiral Sampson rep resented to General Shafter. that as a matter of right he should be allowed to sign the articles of equalization.
 At the time he made this request the papers had already been placed in the hands of Colonel John Jacob Astor to bring to the United States and General Shafter found 1t impossible to comply with Admiral Sampson's request even if he had desired to do so. He so in- formed Admiral Sampson, conveying the additional information that he had not signed the articles himself and that they were signed only by the commis- sioners appointed to agree upon the terms of surrender.

EVERY STATE RESPONDS
 TO THE SECOND CALL
Massachusetts, North Carolina and Nebraska Were Placed in a
 False Position.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The War Department feels that 1t has reason to be gratified with the results established under the first and second calls for troops by the President. The statement issued last night shows that practically all the States have supplied the quotas called for in these two calls.
 It is explained that the discrepancy in this statement and the one published a week ago, which caused so much criticism and put several States, in- cluding Massachusetts, Nebraska and North Carolina in the unenviable posi- tion of having contributed only a DOT tion of the troops called for, was ac- counted for by the fact that, owing to the failure to make prompt reports. these States appeared to be deficient

ENDS LIFE WITH A BULLET
MILWAUKEE WOMAN'S TRAGIC
 LEAVE-TAKING.
Daughter of Editor Aiken Kills HeTS self Rather Than Depart From the fretty City of the
 Southland.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, July 26.-Mrs. Alice Aiken Bremen of Milwaukee, who ar rived here six months ago for her health and since was a guest of the Horton House in this city, committed suicide in her room at the hotel last night by shooting herself through the head with a revolver, the bullet enter ing the brain behind the right ear. She was about 39 years of age and of at tractive appearance. Her husband, Hugo Bremer. a retired real estate dealer of Milwaukee. arrived here three weeks ago to join her. So far as known they were on good terms, but occupied separate rooms at the hotel.
 It is said the woman was attached to San Diego and was determined to remain here. Her husband came to endeavor by personal solicitation to get her to return East with him. She steadily refused his opportunities until recently and they finally agreed to leave for the East this morning. He would not leave without her and after a consultation last night she evidently decided to end 1t all by the suicide route She wrote a letter addressed to her husband, which she left on a table. saying that she had concluded this was the best way to end her troubles.
 AS nearly as can be ascertained Mrs. Bremen at about midnight laid down on her bed fully dressed and fired the fatal shot.
 The body will be cremated at her re- quest, made in the letter referred to. The Coroner's jury this morning evil dently concluded at it's first session that the cause of death was not en- tirely definite and ordered post nor tenn examination to be made.
 During her six months residence here Mrs. Bremen had improved In health materially, her trouble having been nervousness and insomnia. She was delighted with the place and it's beneficial effects. She was bright and cheerful and made many friends. She made a speciality of the study of sea moss and plants and other forms of vegetable life, spending considerable time on the Seashore making collec- tions. Mrs. Bremen seemed less cheer full the past few days and made no se- cret of the fact that she regretted hay ing to leave here for the East.
 There was nothing in her letter to her husband limiting of unpleasant re- lations between them. It merely stated that she had decided to take her life and to end her trouble and asked that HeI oOuS pe Sleiudleu' tildt Hel JEW elry, except her wedding ring. be given to her sister The ring she wished left on her hand.
 Mrs. Bremen was a daughter of Edi- tor Aiken of the Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee, one of the leading dailies of that State. She had been married fourteen years. but had no family The revolver she used had been in her po- session many years. The course of the bullet showed conclusively that the shot was Self-inflicted.
