Scene of the Landing.

The transports were slower than the pcr-
poises that clumsily gamboled around
them. and there was a feeling of relief
when Gen. Miles on Sunday morning
headed south by west into the Monapsj,
and it became known that the southern,
and not the northern, coast CT Porto Rico
was to be the scene of the landing OF the
American army on the Island Of Porto
Rico
Early on Monday morning the Gloucester
formerly j. Pierpont Morgans yacht Cor
sair), commanded by Lieut.. Commander
Wainwright, turned boldly toward the
Porto Rican coast and steamed into the
harbor of Guanico. Steadily the Gloucester
went. ahead of the Massachusetts, the Yale
anu the Columbia, not to mention the tardy
transports, her lead line constantly going
and her commander pointing out outside
the points which embraced the harbor the
safest anchorage for the big warship.
AS the Massachusetts and her consorts
let go their anchors Lieut.. Commander
Wainwright headed the Gloucester into the
port, and for time she was lost TO view
Shortly afterward the reports of her six
Founders were heard and then silence fol-
lowed The dispatch boat thereupon OIL
tanned permission to enter the harbor and
steamed i'll after the Gloucester.

GUANICO, Island of Porto Rico. July -
(via ST. Thomas, d. w. l., July 25l.-When
the Associated Press dispatch boat Gym
thia ii arrived al Guantanamo bay last
Thursday, July p, at pm. and reported
to Commander McCaIla of the Marblchead
and was promptly ordered to hoist the
yellow flag, as she had touched at Santiago
de Cuba, those on board of her had no
idea of 6 Jirg to Porto Rico. but some ships
having been noticed in the offing, the G;s-
patch boat hailed the flagship New York
asking for their Identification, which
brought back the reply by megarhoae
That is Gen. Miles and his squadron;
they have started for Porto Rico
Thereupon the dispatch boat promptly
put to sea, and followed the transports
and their conveying warships to Porto
Rico
For four days and nights, through stormy
weather. abreast of the Gloucester, the
dispatch boat pitched and tossed into a
lead sea, to the discomfort of those or
I board.

Haven of Rest.

The harbor of Guanico is an exquisite
place-a veritable haven of rest-with high
mountains for a background, a bay of con-
siderable extent, a plateau of cultivated
meadowland stretching from the beach to
the mountains, score SO of prettily
painted houses on the line of the shore a
sugar mill on the right, a blockhouse dis
tant couple of miles on the left and di-
rectly in front of the place a small log
house, before which fioated the Spanish
flag.
AS the dispatch boat entered the harbor
the Gloucester, with rapid-fire Colt gun
In her bow, land about thirty sailors under
Lieut. Huse. The little party promptly ad-
Fanced on the run to the spot from which
the flag was floating. The red and yellow
of Spain was quickly hauled down and then
up went the Stars and Stripes on the Span
ish flagstaff hearty cheer echoing over
plains and heights.
A few minutes later there was a spiteful
spatter of bullets around the Gloucester
and the dispatch boat from a squad OF
Spanish soldiers who were concealed among
the houses up the main street of Guanico,
which runs direct from the beach In less
time than it takes to tell it the treacher-
Gus guerrilla-like foes, who had not fired
a Shot While their flag was I'D, were flee
ing in every direction before the answering
nre of the Americans ashore backed up
by the guns of the Gloucester on board
OF which even the doctor and paymaster
LOOK a hand In serving the pieces. The
TOUR 6-pounders of the converted yacnt
merrily shelled the blockhouse and tie
nils to the west, sending some Spanish
cavalry, on their way to reinforce Guanico
scurrying toward the mountains like lack
rabbits before a prairie fire

PETTlGREW'S BILL.
He Is Making An Effort for An Appro-
priation to Maintain Fort Meade

Washington Bureau of the Standard
No. 1iI5 q street n. W.

No. Iii5 q Street n. W.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Petit
grew has introduced in the senate an
amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill providing that all settlers under the
homestead laws upon all public lands
acquired by treaty or agreement from
the various Indian tribes, or upon mill
tary reservations opened to settlement
who shall reside upon the tract entered
in good faith for the period required by
existing law, shall be entitled to a pat
ent for the land, upon the payment of
the customary fees, and no other charge
of any kind shall be required to entitle
the seller to q patent for the land COW
cred by his entry. The right to COM
mute the entry and pay shall remain in
full force and effect.
Senator Pettigrew is also making an
effort TO secure an Appropriation for the
maintenance of Fort Meade. He re-
CARDS this fort as of great Importance
to the people of Montana, particularly
since the abandonment of Fort Custer.
He has submitted formal argument
to the senate committee in which he
says this is an ideal location for cav
airy, and occupies the best point in
Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming or
Nebraska as a basis for military move
mentS. I'm case of Indian hostilities,"
ne says, troops from Fort Meade can
reach any point of trouble in five
states" He estimates the white popu-
lation of the territory here surrounded
by Indian reservations is 10000 as
against 10000 Indians on the reserva-
tons in question. He says the isolated
settlements of stockmen and their fam
lilies in western South Dakota, eastern
Wyoming and Montana, ana their ex-
tensive cattle ranges bordering on the
several Indian reservations make it
almost imperative that there be per-
manent military post with abundant
troops i'll just such a location as we find
Fort Meade. Would IL he safe To re-
move the protection that Fort Meade
affords to the people of these hills?
Certainly it is but natural to suppose
that at the first outbreak of trouble

they still regard as their sacred hertz
age, perpetrating. if necessary, upon

Congressman Hartman is greatly
pleased with the selection of Senator
White as chairman of the democratic
congressional committee. He says: His
election is highly appropriate. Senator

Relations With Otis.


Columbus. Ohio. Jan. 31.-The inves-
tgation into the alleged attempt to
bride Representative Otis in the late
senatorial contest is rapidly drawing to
an end. The committee held brief
session after the senate adjourned this
evening. Attorney Campbell was the
only witness examined. He was re-
called for the purpose of allowing Sem
ators Robertson and Garfield. who were
not present last Friday when Mr..
Campbell was on the stand. to question
him. Neither of the senators, however,
asked question, and the only queries
We're made by Chairman Burke. Mr..
Campbell told of his personal relations
toward Otis. He said he had frequent
ly acted as attorney for Otis and al
ways considered Otis as straight
forward and honest man.
He said Mr. Otis had always been a
sort of mild republican. Campbell said
he did not see how Otis could have
voted for Hanna. as Otis was a men,
Der of a free silver club. Campbell said
he had always been on friendly terms
with Senator Hanna and had been as
ISOLATED in several ways with some of
Hanna's friends. He claimed he had
been a supporter of Hanna until after
the latters position on the money
question had been known after his ap-
pointment to the senate Then he had
rather drifted away from the senator
politically. Campbell claimed he had
been supporter of Mckinley in the
presidential campaign on account of his
views on the tariff No other witnesses
were examined and the crowd of spec
tators who had gathered We're some
what disappointed.

poses Increases Despite the Crusade.
\ prominent Boston editor. referring
To the Audubon societies. laments the
fact that in spite of the woman's cru
sade and Senator Hoar's petition
against the use of birds for millinery
purposes. investigation shows that the
demand for bird adorned feminine head
gear is greater than ever. Enthusiasm
seems Ia have worn Itself away by the
excess of its own effort. The dealers are
already hard at work with the orders TO
the bird slaughterers, ard the women
who are responsible for the deadly deed
seem utterly constituencies in their de-
site for the humiliation of bird life in
order To serve their own selfish epheme-
ral purposes The crusaders may think
a crusade If this sort is continuously
effective after work has ceased. They
should know that their vigilance Is the
only price Of their success, and that
season after season they must use
equally vigorous efforts If they hope 70
diminish the murder Of the feathered
.oagsters and their kin. A casual glance
a. the Passers-hy along the streets and
into the millinery shop windows ought
