Think San Juan viii Resist Gri'nly.

London, Aug. 1.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times says: Tele-
grams from Porto Rico announce tnat
Captain General Macias has decided 10
intrench San Juan. A majority OF MS
5000 men are spread over the island IN
detachments. They have been ordered
to defend themselves as long as posi-
BILE. and as last resort to retire to the
capital. 1t is feared that the Ameri-
cans will easily secure San Juan, varl-
Gus officers reporting that the natives
are not likely to resist 1t Is beiieVeo
that the garrison OF San Juan Will nght
with Spanish heroism. They are uh-
hampered, as was the garrison at san
tiago de Cuba by a lack Of food ana
ammunition, stores and supplies oes,
tined for Cuba having Accumulated

MERRITT IN COMMAND.
He Establishes His Headquarters and
Famtliarixes Himxolf With Amairs

Familiarizes Himself With Affairs.
Manila, via Hong Kong, Aug. L.
General Merritt assumed command OF
the American forces Immediately after
ne had reported to Admiral Dewey. He
mas established headquarters at the
Cavite arsenal. The Newport was es-
corted to an anchorage near the cruiser
Charleston by the gunboat Concord. the
crews Of the vessels Of the American
fleet giving her a rousing welcome. At
the close Of his official visit to the
Olympia, ADMIRAL Dewey's flagship,
General Merritt was officially recog-
nized by salute Of Is guns.
Until he shall have received the re-
ports OF the officers who preceded him
and familiarized himself with the stu
alton General Merritt cannot determine
as to his future course.
The troops encamped at Parana5o
have not yet made move. the condi-
ton of the country between the camp
and the outskirts Of Manila being such
on account Of the heavy rains that have
fallen as to make it impossible to move.
The insurgents are still active, but are
accomplishing nothing. There are now
1000 American soldiers within an hour
OF Manila, near Malate. Their camp Is
protected by trenches and guns and Is
covered by the guns Of the Boston and
the Callao. The American Transports,
1t is said, will start on their return to
San Francisco in a few days. There 10
no sickness among the troops.
It Is believed that Governor General
August Of Manila will surrender owing
to the fact that Admiral Camara' 8
squadron has returned to SPAIN but the
army officers desire to resist to the last.
and there is prospect that peace VIII
be concluded prior to the capture OF
Manila by the Americans.
About a dozen small Spanish steam
ers have passed out recently under the
insurgent flag, ostensibly to 90 to Gen.
enral Aguinaldo, but the suspicious OF
the Americans are now aroused and nc
more Of these craft will be allowed &c

CONSTABLE'S PLIGHT,

1t is not often that a constable who
is seeking to take possession of goods
on the strength of a landlords war
rant is locked in with the goods and
has to break his way out. Such a mis-
fortune befell Constable Davies of the
Fourth ward, yesterday afternoon
while performing his official duties.
Davies was directed by a landlords
warrant, issued Thursday afternoon by
Alderman John, to seize and levy upon
the goods of man named Coyle, who
then resided on North Sumner avenue.
This duty was performed. but between
that time and yesterday the goods were
removed from the residence. The con-
stable, being apprised of this, imme-
diately set about capturing the elusive
articles.
He did find them at the Coyles new
home, but was locked in with the
goods. He burst open a door and ar
rested Mr.. and Mrs. Coyle. They were
given hearing before Alderman John,
both for removing goods levied upon
and locking the valiant constable in
They were held in their own recogniz-
ance for a further hearing this eve
ming.

INSURANCE AGENT ARRESTED.


p. ]. Farrell, of 10 North Everett
avenue, was arrested on Thursday and
given a hearing before Aide, nan John,
charged with obtaining money upon
false pretenses. Farrell was, or is, a
collector for the Massachusetts Benefit
Life Insurance association, though
1t is nearly two years since the asso-
citation did any business through him.
Yesterday Farrell stated that he
would make a settlement with the ag-
grieved party, Mrs Frank Dummerick,
of the Continental. The policy was
written for Evan Novack, and Frank
Dummerick was made beneficiary.
Dummerick died several months ago,
and since that time Mrs. Dummerick
has kept up the payments, even up to
Aug /, as her receipt book showed.
These payments were made to and re-
cepted for by Farrell. Farrell claimed
he had turned the money into the
home office, but Mr.. Jackson who has
charge of the associations affairs in
this city. disclaimed all knowledge of
having received the returns. Each pay
ment was something over 81. Mrs.
Dummerick is a widow with a large
family. She sued to only recover the
premiums. Farrell settled the costs.

MINooKA.

Simon and Eugene Glinski and An
drew Boka, three Polish residents Of
Greenwood, are the victims of a mys-
terious and somewhat peculiar rob-
berry, which took place In that locality
some time yesterday morning. The
three men are boarding with a fellow
countryman in the Polish precincts Of
the place, and when they arose from
their slumbers Friday morning they
were startled when it became evident
that their trunks and personal belong
ings had mysteriously disappeared. A
search was Immediately instituted and
the trunks were found a short dis
tance from the house in condition for
kindling wood. The thieves escaped
with the contents. How the perpetra-
tors effected an entrance to the house
is not known, but the supposition is
that an open window furnished a way
for the robbers. The booty was un-
doubtedly valuable as most of the Po-
landers utilize their trunks as a re-
pository for the savings. There Is no
clue to the guilty parties.
Charles Guard, of West Minooka, is
candidate for delegate to the Re-
publican county convention.
The Maroons and the representative
team of South Scranton will battle for
honors on the latter's ground tomor-
row afternoon.
The Scranton Axle works has been
idle the past few days. owing to the
repairing of the machinery.
