Capt Henry b. LOCKER of Company II,
District Volunteers. writes the following
letter on what he saw of Commander VAIN
wright's dash into Guanica harbor, Porto
Rico:
In conjunction with the members OF
Company II of the District regiment, VINO
were eye-witnesses of one of Wainwright
exploits the writer takes very naturally
lively interest in the plan to present a
sword TO that gallant officer, whose almost
increu.b BILE daring resulted in the annlhila-
ton of the Spanish torpedo boats. that
much-dreaded part of Cerveras squadron.
His superb seamanShip and bravery in this
latter affair and his GOODNESS in the ordeal
of the sinking of the Maine have diverted
attention from his subsequent action on the
occasion Of the first landing of our forces
in Porto Rico, at Guanica, July p, 1SJS.
His little vessel, the Gloucester was part
of the fleet of fourteen ships, transports
and war vessels, which struck the island at
the farthest possible point from the land
ing place anticipated, and doubtless fully
prepared by the Spanish commander. The
brilliant strategy of General Miles during
the entire brief campaign in Porto Rico
was such that had serious opposition deVel-
oped it would doubtless have been rapidly
crushed. very much in the style of Dewey
al Manila. In no respect was this more
clearly eXemDlifed than in the change of
prearranged plan in transit from Guanta-
namo. which must have paralyZed the
whole Spanish defense, for 1t must have
been known in San Juan that Fajardo, on
the northeast coast, was 10 be first at
tackled. We We're ourselves as much aston
Shed as any one when the feet suddenly
headed for the shore at the southwestern
corner Of the island, and only when within
a very short distance could We discern the
narrow entrance of the harbor We We're to
enter. Even the captain of our transport
was miSled, for he had quietly let me into
the secret of the Fatardo scheme and had
allowed me to use his charts for a careful
study Of the topography Of the shore, where
the pOntOCn bridge. our especial affair,
would have to be built quite possibly under
fire.

Wainwright Goes In Boldly.

AT this juncture Wainwright signaled
and obtained permission from Capt. Hig
ginson to enter the harbor. Never shall
We forget the aUdacity of the little Glouces-
ter, dashing into the long, narrow harbor
which, for all we knew, was sown with
mines such as sunk the Maine, and whose
frowning hillsides formed natural battery
endorsements. When well within the en-
trance we saw on the port side of the
Gloucester a puff of white smoke: an in
slant later the echoes Of the mountains
we're walked by the report of a gun and the
crash of shell exploding near a block
house some distance back from the shore.
Immediately thereafter came a roar from

THE GOVERNORS CONTEST.

Sadlef's Denaurrers.

Yesterday the Supreme Court rendered
a decision in the case of Mcmillan vs..
Sadler by sustaining some demu- rers
made by the defendant to certain portions
of Mr.. McMll,ian's complaint. The COM
plant alleges that in Humboldt county
the judges and inspectors of election
were not selected from both political
parties as required by law. Demurrer
sustained on the ground that the section
was not mandatory and that no fraud
was alleged as resulting from the APP
pOintnent made by the commissioners.
1t was charged that III some precincts
people were allowed within 100 feet of
the polls and that the officers of the poll
ing places indulged too freely in whisky
The Court sustained The demurrer to
this on the ground that the parties inter
ested did not partlrir ate in these affairs.
and there was no charge in the COM
plant as resulting tom t hese infring-
ments of the law, which was punishable
10y the county authorities.
The failure to count the soldiers vote
was disposed of by citing the ordinance
adopted by the Constitutional Conven-
ton in reference to such vote, which
ceased to be in effect after the Constitu,
ton was adopted and at the present time
there was no law on the statute books by
which the soldiers vote could be counted
The clause in the complaint charging
distinguishing marks on the ballots il
some of the eastern counties was also de
INJURED and the demurrer Overruled.

Washington. June 22.-The list off ficers who have succumbed to the hard. ships of the military campaign in th. Philippines has been increased by tb. disability of Col. David D.

Cen. Leonard Woods Execrtive AbiI- tty Recognized by Those Willing

New York, June 22.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says: It is the belief among officers here that Gen. Leonard Wood will not return to Santiago. but will resign from the service to accept one of the alluring offers that have been made him by corporations whose directors have been attracted by his conspicuous ex- ecutire ability and positive genius for organizing.
 Before he left Santiago he had re- ceived an invitation from Boston to assume the management of New En- glan1 concern at salary of S25,0O0 a year. according to the understanding Of his friends here. He also had under consideration several applications from New York setting forth scarcely less lucrative positions. and now it is announced he has heen in consu.ta- ton at New York with the heads of the syndicate which recently consoli- dated most of the street railway sys- tems of the national capital, and the local electric lighting companies.
 The officials of the war department 3o not think Gen. Wood will resist all the temptations that are being put for ward to entice him from the army.
