FIRST INDIGNITY.
Brick Hurled at Admiral SchIey's
Flag Lieutenant.


SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Sept. g.
The American evacuation commissioners, at a
melting held yesterday afternoon, decided to
notify Capt. Gen. Maclas that they were
present and ready to proceed with business
communication to this effect was drafted
in most courteous terms. 1t asked where and
when the Spanish commissioners could meet
the Americans. Lieut.. Sears, Admiral
Schley's flag lieutenant, delivered the COM
munication to the captain general, driving
to the palace in carriage. At the gate of the
palace @ brick was hurled at him from the
sidewalk. Being an old base ball player he
was able, partly, to ward the missile off with
his hands, and 1t fell, striking him on the
ankle, but doing only slight injury. This IS
the first incident OF the kind since our ar
rival here. The lieutenant did not deem it
advisable to lodge a complaint and the 20
lice made no arrests.
The American commissioners are determined
to brook no delay, as indicated By their &C.
ton. Although Capt. Gen. Macias recognized
their presence by official visits, they have
not been notified of the appointment nor the
names of the Spanish commissioners, and the
names OF the latter have not been officially
gaZetted, in spite Of the fact that 1t is I'M
derstood unoficially that Generals Ortega and
Vallerino and he auditor of war, Senior Aguil-
ar, comprise the Spanish commission. The
thirty days expires Sunday, and If the
Spaniards are not prepared to proceed on that
date they will be asked to explain matters.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 9.-About
noon today the American military command
ers received reply from Capt Gen. Macias
to their communication of last evening. Capt
Macias said the Spanish evacuation commits
sioners would be ready to meet the Americans
at the palace, tomorrow morning, at half past
TO- Later in the day, Gen. Brooke, Admiral
Hotel Inglaterra regarding the attitude they
will assume at the meeting.

some of the others did, and some said
they could see shells burst in the air.
It was said today that we will have
to fight the insurgents, as they will not

TO rule themselves, and also that the
Standards have offered to surrender to
Dewey, if he will protect them, as they
fear the insurgents. The Monterey
has not arrived yet, and this morning
we heard that the Hawaiian islands
had been annexed, and that the Phila-
delphia would stay at Honolulu, and
as soon as the Monterey gets here we
are going to demand surrender of Ma

ON BOARD THE CITY OF PARA,
Manila Bay, Philippine Islands, Aug. 4,
1S9S.-We arrived here Sunday, July
81, after a tedious old voyage of three
from there telling of the trip from
Frisco out. We were treated fine in
Honolulu, and hated to leave
We were obliged to leave five of our
men in hospitals in Honolulu. Gen.
Merritt steamed out and made for Ma
Mia a day before we did He was on
the Newport. We had five steamers
in our fleet and no escort.

trick to send five transports loaded
with troops and supplies 1000 miles
away from shome, with no protection

on our trip across, but only one mem

was Fred auckland, Company p, and

was a very sad affair, I assure you.
The general health of our regiment
Is good and We're all anxious to get
ashore and start the excitement. The
boys Of the other expeditions are on
shore and entrenched between the in
surgents' line and Manila. The Span
iards are still popped up in Manila,
and the insurgents have the town sur
rounded. The SDons" and "Rebs"
fight every might, but I'D to Sunday
evening our. boys had taken no hand.
Just about dark on that night one of
our men fred at a Spaniard and the

of both is essential to the assertion of the
right of either to claim a forfeiture of
the concession. If Nicaragua claims that
the concession 1t has granted has been for
feited Costa Rica has the equal right to
assert that it is not forfeited.
1t is then set forth that the United States

canal at the instance of Costa Rica and Mic

of this country is also necessary to any
proceeding on the part of Nicaragua look

not repeal an act of congress which ded-
icates the canal and it's concessionary in
cidents to a corporation chartered for such
great purposes" Attention is then called
to the fact that the concession provides
for the submission OF any spute to ar
bitration and it is claimed that this pro-
vision operates to prevent any arbitrary ac-
ton on the part of Nicaragua

be encountered before even any success
can be made towards the construction OF
