THE WAR SITUATION.

Gen. Wilson was appointed military
governor of the city and province of
Ponce pending Gen. Brooke's arrival.
The war department has abandoned
Tampa as a camp, the troops which
have not been ordered to Porto Rico
or Fernandina to be moved to Savannah.
Capt. Clark, of the battleship Oregon,
has been invalided and ordered home
TO recuperate. Capt. Barker, of the
cruiser Newark, has been assigned to
the command of the Oregon.
IL is now asserted that the proposed
camp at Montauk Point, L. l., for the
American troops at Santiago, will have
to be abandoned because of a lack of
drinking water.
Six colored non-commissioned officers
of the Ninth cavalry and 25th infantry,
who rendered particularly meritorious
services before Santiago have been ap-
pointed second lieutenants in the two
colored immune regiments.
Acting upon recommendations of
Surgeon. ten. Sternberg the war de-
partment decided to abandon Camp
Alger, near Washington, because of its
unsanitary condition. The new camp
is located near Manassas, Va, about
40 miles south of Washington and near
the old Bull Run battlefield. The
10000 troops at Camp Alger will march
overland to the new camp

honors of war; the soldiers and officers
to be permitted to return on parole to
Spain and an assurance to be given
that the lives and property of Span
iards will be protected from naval at

A dispatch from Madrid says: The
government has received a dispatch
from Capt.-Gen. August, saying that
he had heard of the disaster of Admiral
Cervera's squadron, the capitulation of
Santiago and the opening of peace ne
gotiations. Gen. August adds that he
has improvised defenses, but his sup
plies are diminishing. The rifle am-
munition is daily decreasing and that
for the mountain guns is about ex-
hausted. The garrison is enfeebled by
daily losses, and it is only by valor
and endurance of their suffering that
the troops are able to repulse the
enemy. Nevertheless, Gen. August
declares, the government must under
stand that valor will not alone suffice

physical endurance, the troops have
had no rest and no relief and conse-
quently under such circumstances it
will be impossible to continue resist

counties, 1857. The figures point to
a crop of about 30,700, 600 bu. and the

age condition of corn in the state is So
The condition in the southern counties
is substantially the same as enc year
ago, but in the central and northern
counties it is lower. Oats are estimated
to yield 90 bu. per acre. Potatoes
promise three-fourths, beans eight
tenths, and hay nine-tenths of average
crops. Apples now promise in the
state about two.thirds of an average
crop. Peaches are estimated at about
seven-tcnths of an average crop.

u. >. volunteers and had bareback,
brass medals and cigarette buttons all
over their coats. They told about the
fight at Aguadores, how bravely they
had acquitted themselves complained
of the lack of surgeons and the poor
medical facilities; cursed the Cubans
for poor, thieving, know-nothings; but
did not know who Gen. Duflield was,
and were somewhat at q loss when
questioned closely as TO the reasons for
getting three months furloughs at this
time. Investigation showed that their
names were not in the official roster of
the 33d regiment. Dispatches say they
were recently discharged from the
hospital at Camp Alger, where they
have been since the remainder of the
regiment left for Cuba.

Spanish in Porto Rico Losing Heart.

i. G. Hanna, U. 5. consul at San
Juan, who is with Gen. Miles, has re-
ceived dispatch from Spanish Off
cial in the northern part of the island
saying: Resistance is impossible. The
volunteers have refused TO march, and
we have no ammunition. Mr.. Hanna
declined to give the name of his in
formant, but it is known that he has eX-
cellent sources of information. He has
all along insisted that the native Porto
Ricans were eager for a change from
Spanish to American rule and that the
only danger in the island was from the
Spanish regulars under the direct com
mand of the captain-general. Mr.
Hanna is busy assisting to adjust local
conditions at Ponce TO the new
state of affairs. lie is endeavoring TO
open U. S. postotlices in all the impor-
tant centers of the occupied territory,
and he has frequent interviews with
merchants and bankers on the question
of the money premium-an awkward
question that is giving the American
and local financiers much trouble. The
merchants proposed TO Mr.. Hanna to
agree to pay a premium of 100 on U. ).
gold provided import duties on goods
from the United States are removed.
They also offered to buy everything
from the United States.
