Will Be a Candidate Again.

At the last State election Trowbridge e H Ward was elected Clerk of the Su- nrene Court, receiving 120,007 votes. His closest competitor was Peter McGIade, on the Democratic ticket, who received Se 542 votes. MT. Wards plurality was 30 ,465.
 Previous to that time MT. Ward had served four years as Clerk of the Su- nerior Court of Los Angeles County and the ability and trustworthiness he had manifested there was a good indi- cation that the important office of Clerk of the Supreme Court would also be ably filled. These expectations have been fully realized during the term of four years he has held office. and MT. Ward has the satisfaction of knowing that he is in dorsed for renomination not only by all those Republicans who voted for him be- fore, but by all the Judges of the Su- preme Court and by every lawyer ire spectiye of party who has met him in the course of his professional practice before the Supreme Bench.

TROOPS WITH WATSON.
The War Board Has Decided to Send PART
of the Army with the Eastern
SQUADRON.

Washington, July 25.-After an ex-
tended consultation the war board has
practically decided to send part Of
the army with the eastern squadron.
This squadron will leave for the Ca
naries and Spain after Porto Rico is
well invested. There are two strong
reasons for sending troops to the Ca
naries. First, as Natson's mission
cannot be performed in a short time.
and he may prowl about the Spanish
coast for weeks, a base of supplies
nearer to the scene of his activities
than any place in the United States or
Cuba Is necessary; second, as the
United States has definitely decided TO
take ut least one of the Canary islands
for a permanent naval base there
will be no opportunity OF seizing and
occupying the island other than Is
offered by Watson's prospective trip
70 the east The navy department,
incidentally, 10 anxious to round out
Its record by the destruction OF every
one Of Spain's warships and Camara's
squadron Is all that is left. The occu-
patton Of the Canarles by the United
States is almost certain to arouse pop
ular sentiment In Spain to such an ex-
tent that Camara will not be per-
mitted to follow his original plan
that Of hugging the interior OF some
landloclsed harbor off the peninsula =
but will be forced to go TO the rescue
Of the newly seized island so near to
the Spanish coast The navy depart
ment has no doubt of Camara's de-
struction as result of this maneuver.

UNITED STATES ARMY.
Is2GI 400, Rnd They Are the Finest
soldiers In the World.

Washington. July s6.-Adjt, Gen.
Corbin last night made public q state
ment OF the progress made in the or
ganization OF the regular and volun-
teer armies of the United States up TO
and including July %. ln the 20 days
which have elapsed since the president
issued his first call for volunteers an
army of 26l.4O men has been re-
eruited, mustered, equipped and
placed in the field, an achievement
that has elected surprise and ad-
miration from the hest informed mil
itary authorities of Europe. The per-
sonnel OF the army is far superior to
that of any body of men hitherto raised
for military purposes by the United
States Every man recruited, whether
for the regular or for the volunteer
army, has undergone careful physi-
cal examination, conducted by disin-
terested and competent officers. The
statement indicates that only one ia
four applicants for admission 10 the
regular army was accepted by the
mastering officers and medical exam
liners. In this way n notably high
class organization has been Sc
cured for the army. OF the 2l6,-
500 volunteers authorized by con.
gress, 2l2, 900 have been placed in the
field, nearly all of them fully equipped.
In few days the entire volunteer
army will be thoroughly organized in
to regiments, brigades, divisions and
army corps. The aptitude for mill
tary discipline and instruction which
the volunteers have evinced has ere
ated surprise among the representa-
tives of foreign governments with the
United States army. They agree thai
the Americans are the finest soldiers
in the world.

San Juan are small, with two excep-
tions-Ponce and Mayaguez. The
former is the most modern and thor
oughly progressive Of the cities In the
West iudies. 1t has 5000 inhabit

The residence of the military com
mander is there and its population il
almost altogether occupied in mercan
tile pursuits. Its harbor, two miles
distant, admits vessels Of 25 fee

warm, is never oppressive. Yellow

HIGHLY GRATIFYING.
Splendid Showing OF Our Troops In the
Two BattIes Preceding the Capture
OF Santiago.

Washington, July 95.-With the
week just closed the United States
saw the end of the third month of the
war with Spain, and the responsible
officials, from the president down to
the lowest employe, who has had to
do with shaping the course of events,
feel nothing but satisfaction at the
progress made An army Of $50, 900
men has been modified, armed and
equipped, and much of IL has seen
service. The BATTLES preceding the
capture of Santiago have been re-
markable in many respects, and in
the opinion of military experts, have
covered the United States army en-
gagged with imperishable glory. Mod
ern warfare of type developed In
these engagements was absolutely
new and untried, not only to the United
States army, but to the world.

Santiago de Cuba, July 26.,-The 1000
Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo laid
down their arms yesterday. The 1850
from Palma Soriano, San Luis and
Longo surrendered Sunday to Lieut..
Miley, and yesterday pack trains with
provisions were sent to them. The
only others included in the capituia-
tion are 1000 troops at Baracoa and
1000 at Sagua. They have not yet
been turned over but they are no
where in Gen. Garcia's vicinity. He
was at Jiguany yesterday, and reached
there without encountering any Span
iards. Gen. Shafter authorizes an
absolute contradiction OF the report
that Garcia encountered n force Of
Spaniards who were returning to San
tiago to surrender and was defeated
by them.

THE PORTO RICO ARMY.
Washington Believes All Our Troops win
he Landed This Week Report That
Miles Was Debarking at Ponce.

Washington, July 26.-The war de-
partment was busy yesterday hurry
ing the dispatch of the remainder Of
Gen. Miles expedition against Porto
Rico. Such progress has been made
that it is hoped all of the troops will
be on Porto Rican soil within week
at the latest. Gen. Miles is not eX-
pected TO defer his landing until that
time, but presumably will pick out a
suitable place for encamping his troops
and establish himself ashore, awaiting
the arrival of the other detachments
now on their way. War department
officials expect that the first news re-
ceived from Cen. Miles will come
through the press dispatches, as the
general has not with him, so far as
known, any dispatch boats. 1t will be
at least Saturday before direct cable
communication can be established
with him and in the meantime reliance
must be had on the dispatch boats
running across to st. Thomas, distant
about four hours run.

engagements between trained troops

Brooklyn for spain After Cheer
ing Old Glory.

New York, July 26.-Prisouers of
war cheering the flag of their captors
was the unusual light witnessed at
the Union dock in Brooklyn yesterday.
The sight was all the more significant
as the cheers came from Spanish
throats. The 254 prisoners captured
on the four prize steamers now in port
were about to sail for home under the
British flag. They were on board the
Hesperia, OF the Anchor line, and,
Just as she backed out of the
dock, one of the patrcl gunboats came
by. With one accord the prisoners
raised three mighty cheers, which
startled the people on the Brooklyn
shore and could be heard on Cover
nor's island.
