MILES"
A cable from Ponce, dated Saturday,
says: Gen. Brooke's advance guard
entered Guayamo after sharp skir-
mish, In which several on both sides
were wounded. The general advance
was delayed by the groundlngs of the
transport Massachusetts,. with Gen.
Brooke's headquarters aboard. The
capture of Guayamo was accomplished
only after a lively sklrmsh outside the
city with 400 Spaniards, and after the
loss of three Americans. After their
entrance into the town Gen. Miles
men We're forced TO repel an attack
which they did with honor to them
selves.
Under Gen. Haines were the Fourth
Ohio, Col. Colt; and the Third Illinois
Col. Bennett. There were two dyna-
mite guns in the expedition also.
Praise can be generously given the
Chioans for their telling work against
the Spaniards. For time the enemy
barricaded itself. being almost entirely
concealed but the fierce fire of the
Americans made 1t flee. 1t was the
Ohio regiment that raised the stars
and Stripes over the town hall.
At the sight of the flag all the ma
tiyes who gathered to welcome the
troops cheered as loudly as our men.
During the interval tine enemy sud-
denly returned, making a heavy attack
on the town from the north. The Ohio
ans were sent to resist the attack. and
ran into hot fight. 1t lasted two
hours. Five shots from the dynamite
guns. which were soon brought into
position, settled the fate of the Spani-
ards.
From the very moment fire was open
ed to the close of the engagement the
Ohioans. more than held their own.
None of the Americans were seriously
injured.
Without resistance, the Americans
at Porto Rico under Gen. Miles are
pushing into the interior OF the island.
At Ponce. Yauco and Juan Diaz the
American flag has been fioated amid
the enthusiasm and greetings of the
assembled Inhabitants.
Col. Hulings with ten companies OF
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania has oc-
cupied Juan Diaz. about eight miles
northeast of Ponce on the road to San
Juan. The American flag was raised
and greeted there Sunday with great
enthusiasm by the populace.
Besides the towns of Yauco and
Ponce, nine other towns have signified
their delight at the coming of the
Americans. These towns are Quay
amo. Juana Diaz, Penuelas, Santa Isa-
bel, Salinas. Arroyo, Patillas, Yabucoa
and Guayabal. Guayamo was occupied
and the troops were received by the
inhabitants with acclamatlons of JOY
and American music by local bands.
The Spanish garrison had been driven
from the town and the American flag
raised before the soldiers arrived.

completed by the goth Of the month.
Five United States volunteer regi-
ments. immunes, have been ordered to
Santiago for garrison duty; the first
has already arrived, the others are be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as
transportation can be furnished"
The war department points out that
Skaters army as a whole cannot be
withdrawn from Santiago until the
Spanish prisoners are disposed Of
Otherwise, there is no certainty that
finding themselves able to do so, the
Spaniards would not overpower their
captors, repossess themselves of San
tiago and thus lose to the American
the small foothold In Cuba which 1t
has cost so much blood and money to
secure. 1t is. however, the expectation
that all the American troops will have
bee removed from Santiago to the
United States by the end of this
month, and that is probably the very
best that can be done under the cir
Cumstances.
Theodore Roosevelt of the Rough
Riders has addressed a communication
to Gen. Shafter urging the removal of
the troops from Santiago. To keep the
troops there. he argues, would involve
the destruction of thousands of SOL
diers. He declares that in his division
the men are so weakened by malarial
fevers, that they are all ripe for dying
like rotten sheep when a real yellow
fever epidemic sets in.
After Col. Roosevelt had taken the
initiative, all the American general Of
ficers united in round-robin ad-
dressed to Gen. Shafter. 1t reads:
I'VE. the undersigned officers COM
nanding the various brigades. divi-
sions, etc, of the army of the occupa-
tion in Cuba, are of the unanimous
opinion that this army should be at
once taken out of the island of Cuba
and sent to some point on the northern
sea coast of the United States; that it
can be done without danger to the peo-
pie of the United States: that yellow
fever in the army at present Is not
epidemic; that there are only n few
sporadic cases; but that the army Is
disabled by malarial fever to the ex-
tent that its efficiency Is destroyed and
that 1t Is in condition to be practical
ly destroyed by an epidemic of yellow
fever which is sure to come in the near
future.
I'VE know from the reports OF COM
petent officers and from personal OBJ
servatlons that the army is unable to
move into the interior and that there
are no facilities for such a move IL at
tempted, and that 1t could not be at
tempted until too late. Moreover the
best medical authorities of the island
say that with our present equipment
we could not live in the interior dur
ing the rainy season WITHOUT losses
from malarial fever. which is almost
as deadly as yellow fever.
This army must be moved at once
or perish. AS the army can be safe
ly moved now, the persons responsible
for preventing such move will be re-
sponsible for the unnecessary loss of
many thousands of lives.
"Our opinions are the result of care

also based on the unanimous opinion
of our medical officers with the army.

Successful Campaign Of Gen. Niles.

Up to this point not the slightest
complaint has reached the department
respecting the management of the Por-

Miles ability. No word has come of
soldiers without food or ammunition
or OF sick men without doctors or medi-

the American army delayed for lack OF
artillery, owing to General Miles in

Fix deeply in mind the grand truth
that life power rules the body and
that it alone can cure disease.
Life power lives on air, water and
food only. All else is hurtful.
Make cleanliness your motto and
watch against filth in both houses and

Few starve for food, but many for

daily. Wear no tight clothing. Above
all ventilate your sleeping room.
Beware of gluttony. If the appetite
is dull eat fruit only or nothing. Use
no fiery condiments, but live chiefly

chew your food-employ your teeth.
