ScHWABlANS IN TROUBLE,
They Seem to be All at Sea Over
Their Coming Fest,

The members of the Greenville Sehwab-
en- Verein seem to be all at sea these days
in their attempts to arrange for their an
nual Schwabenfest, a popular event
among the Germans of Greenville. At a
meeting held in the early part of the year
some of the members started the move
ment for monster fest, which would be
the largest in the history of that organi-
zation. The Greenville Schutzen Park was
not large enough, they said, so the Union
Hill Schuetzen Park was engaged. Since
then numerous plans for the fest have
been considered by the members.
The first thing done was to do away
with the parade, the most important feat
ure of the day, and a thing the residents
of Greenville always looked forward to-.
AS the park was too far away from
Greenville it would be almost impossible
to march there, they said, and so 1t was
decided to have no parade; but chartered
trolley cars.
The members in their anxiety to eclipse
themselves, thought that it would be
good idea to hold the fest for five days.
Now they realize that it will be impossible
to continue the event for such a length
Of time, as it would keep the mem
bers away from their business too long.
Three days is the time now decided upon,
and the dates are September 3, 5 and 6.
The features of the fest will be number
of aquatic sports which have never been
presented in this country.

From the Heat.

WASHINGTON, July 21, 1S9s.-The au-
thoritative declaration was made today
that the island of Porto Rico is to be held
as. a permanent possession of this country
as the price of the war. The subjoined
practically official statement made to The
Associated Press today
Porto Rico will be kept by the United
States That is settled and has been
the plan from the first. Once taken it
will never be released. 1t will pass
forever into the hands of the United
States, and there has never been any
other thought. Its possession will go
toward making up the heavy expense
of war to the United States. Our flag,
once run UP there viii float over the
island permanently.
The same authority says the future Of
the Philippines is matter of develop
ment and that so far there is no certain
policy finally adopted regarding these
lStdlAOS- 1lce ft4t SuDJCCl ~ QCstfpp-
ments in the war situation in the Pacific.
1t was intimated, however. though not
definitely asserted. that the Ladrone Is
lands might follow the fate of Porto Rico
and become our permanent possession,
being valuable as a coaling and supply
station fo~ our ships when en- route to
Eastern Asia.
President Mckinley is thoroughly
aroused over the delay which has oc-
Cured in the starting of General Miles
and the expedition under his command
fer Porto Rico.
For several days General Miles and his
troops have been aboard their transports
at Playa del Este awaiting the naval con-
vey which is to be furnished by Admiral
Sampson. The troops have been swelter-
ing in the crowded ships under the broil-
ing heat Of tropical sun, while General
Miles has been chafing under what he be-
1{eves to be inexcusable delay. and is bonn
barding the War Department with dis
patches urging in the strongest terms
that hhe Navy be hurried in its prepara-
tions for the expedition.
Instructions Of the most positive nature
have been eabled to Admiral Sampson to
supply the necessary conveys for General
Miles transports but Notwithstanding
these instructions. Admiral Sampson has
proceeded with his preparations for the
expedition with delfberation that is ex-
asperating officials here.
Tne President, who has been giving the
Porto Rican expedition his personal at
tention-as he has given, indeed all
phases of the war-finally became deeply
concerned lest the part of the Porto Rican
ex pedition that has already sailed from
4his country should arrive at the point of
re1ldezrous in advance of General Niles
and the navy. It is feared that If General

from Charleston should arrive in advance

COLUMBIA PARK ADVANCING.
Contractor Connolly Will Have 1t
Finished in About Two Months.

Contractor Connolly IS pushing the I'M
provement of the Columbia Park site in
Greenville. He secured an extension of
time on his contract, which expired last
week. There is much more work to be
done on the site than a person would
think as was shown by the enormous
quantity of earth filing required to bring
the site up to the established grade.
The specifications called for about 45o0
square yards of filing, but already more
than $500 square yards have been dumped
there. Inspector Frederick Woeckner
said few days ago that he thought the
park work would be completed in about
two months
