A striking remedy for this parti-

removed by drinking Seattle Draught

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grades
with which they compete.
The higher grades of Isl
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and
no reductions Gun be made in
their prices.

Late in the day the Dixie spoke the
dispatch boat of the Associated Press.
1t was then about 8 o'clock at night,
and the commander of the Dixie said
he had been almost around the island
of Porto Rico, and had not seen any
men-of-war or transports, except the
New Orleans, which was blockading
the harbor Of San Juan de Porto Rico.
A heavy gale was blowing, causing
the dispatch boat to take nineteen
hours in making the 1875 miles to St.
Thomas.
The Associated Press boat is the
only dispatch boat with the fleet.

MILES LANDS IN PORTO RICO.

Port of Guancia, Island of Porto
Rico, July 20, 2 p. M, via the Island
Of St. Thomas july 26-Morning.-
The United States military expedition
under the command of Major General
Nelson A. Miles. commanding the
army of the United States, which left
Guantanamo Bay during tho evening
of Thursday last, was landed here
successfully to-day, after q skirmish
between detachment of Spanish
troops and crow of thirty belonging
to the launch Of the United States
auxiliary gunboat Gloucester, formerly
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan's steam yacht
| Corsair.
Four of the Spaniards were killed,
but no Americans were hurt. The
troops were pushed forward promptly
in order to capture the railroad leading
to Ponce, which is only about ten miles
east of this place. From Ponce there
is an excellent military road running
eighty five miles north to San Juan.
The whole of Gen. Brookes' force,
with the New Orleans, Annapolis,
Cincinnati, Lcyden and Wasp, are
expected here within tho next twenty
four hours.
Tho ships left Guantanamo Bay
suddenly on Thursday evening with
the Massachusetts,, commanded by
Capt. +. j. Higginson, leading.
At noon yesterday General Miles
called a consultation announcing that
he was determined not to go by San
Juan Cape, but by the Mona Passage
instead, land here, surprise the Span
iards and deceive the military author
tiles. The course was then changed
and the Dixie was sent to warn G en-.
Brooke at Cape San Juan. Port
Guanica has been fully described by
Lieut.. Whitney, of Gen. Miles staff,
who recently made an adventurous
tour Of Porto Rico.
| Ponce, which is situated ten or fif.
teen miles from this port, is to the
! eastward, and the harder place to

splitting fire, the doctor: and the pay
nastcr helping to serve the guns.
Soon afterward white coated gallon
ing cavalrymcn were seen climbing the
nils to the westward and the foot
soldiers were scurrying along the
fences from the town.
By 9:45, with the exception Of a
few guerilla shots, the town was won
and the enemy was driven out of it's
neighborhood.
The Red Cross nurses on the Lam
pasas and detachment Of regulars
were the first to land from the trans
ports.
After Lieut.. IIuse had captured the
place he deployed his small force into
the suburbs. But he was soon rein
forced by Their regulars, who were fol-
lowed by Company q, of the 9th Illi-
nois, and then by other troops in
quick succession. All the boats of
the men-of-war and the transports
were used in the work Of landing the
troops, each steam launch towing four
or five boats loaded to the rails with
soldiers. Everything progressed in
an orderly manner and according to
the plans Of Gen. Miles The latter
went ashore about noon, after stop
nin0 ~ boo ri <bo (iI.,,oo,t...I ~ xLI
Lieut.. Commander Wainwright for his
gallant action.
Gcn. Miles said to the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press: "Guan-
lea and Ciuga are in the disinfected
portion of the island. Matteo, the
insurgent leader, lives at Yauco, a few
miles inland. Had we landed at Cape
San Juan a line of rife pits might
have stopped our advance"
There is no doubt that Gen. Miles
plans are being kept absolutely secret.
The spirit of the troops, men and
officers, is admirable.
The Massachusetts and Illinois con-
tingents, which have been cooped up
on board the Yale and Rita q fort
night, will be delighted to get ashore,
and all will be well protected by artil-
lery before serious advance is be-
gun.
Guanica is the most lovely spot yet
occupied by our forces. 1t is the seat
of the coffee and sugar industries and
large herds Of cattle are pasturing in
the meadows, which are bordered by
cocoanut palms. Many head Of cattle
and large number Of horses have
been driven into the mountains by
their owners. Some of them will fe
recaptured. Ponce is the second city
of the island, has splendid harbor
and will make good base Of opera
tions.
There were fifteen large coasters
this afternoon at Guanica Bay, but
only two barges were captured.
It is likely that the Spanish garri-
son from Ponce may try to surprise
our people tonight But it will be
an affair of outposts.
The town of Ponce is sure to fall
| shortly before the combined attack Of
our army and navy. The main fight
ing until Ssn Juan de Porto Rico is
reached will be along the line Of q
splendid military road leading from
Ponce to San Juan de Porto Rico.
But every precaution will be taken to
lessen our casualties. even to the use
Of the steel shields, of which supply
was brought with the expedition.

Cubans, to be given over TO chen

maintaining stable government: and
will demand the ccssiOn Of Porto Rico
outright. this to be held by this
! Government as Il permanent posses
sion. These latter points had been
determined. As to the Philippines
no determination has been reached.
In the meantime, while these ncgo.
tiations are pending, there will be nc
cessation Of war movements This
was stated most cmphatically BY a
member Of the Cabinet tonight.
The peace movement has not pro.
grcssed far enough as yet to make any
change in the war plans. The Admin
istration does not propose to let the
Porto Rico or the Philippine expedition
be hung up by Spanish diplomacy.
WAsHINGToN, July 27.-Thc Prcsi
dent is writing his reply to the French
ambassador who delivered Spain's re-
quest for peace by Tomorrow our
government will have determined and
communicated what form the steps
leading toward peace shall take. 1t
is likely that if the Spanish govern
ment is really earnest in its desire for
peace our government will consent to
an armisticc as preliminary
But it can be stated positively that
the president is determined to lose no
ground through Spanish diplomacy.
The armisticc, if one is granted, will
be conditional upon the most binding
pledges that it is to be followed by a
treaty of peace. Moreover there must
be preliminary agreement that will
provide that the armisticc must con.
stitute in itself an undertaking on the
part of Spain to submit to the con
ditions imposed by the United States
as basis of peace.
The President will not talk of the
terms but those near him say two
propositions are included in the de-
mands named.
Tie first is the absolute indepen-
dcncc Of Cuba with provision that
the island shall be absolyed from re-
sponsibility for any debt heretofore
charged against it by Spain. This
last clause, it is expected, will cause
some friction inasmuch as it is certain
to arouse to desperate resistance Ger
tain European holders Of bands issued
by Spain based on the revenue of
Cuba.
The second proposition is the abso-
Lutte cession Of Porto Rico to the
United States, likewise uuencumbered
by liability for any bonded indebted
ness.
Another point upon which the
United States will insist is the cession
of certain ooaling stations in the
Ladrones and Carolines. probably
Guam Island in the former, and Isap
Island in the latter and one other in a
different quarter Of the world not yet
designated.
Pending the fins! negotiations Pres
ident Mckinley decided to-day on a
more vigorous policy and ordered a
quick and rigid camp-ign in Porto
Rico.
