Couriers announced fe coming of the Americans to the fowo, anda brats vand came out to t them. All of the citizens wereassembled on the outskirts of the town, and as the Yankee volun- fers appeared up the road the band patriotic airs, while the people cried *Viyalos Americanos.” Many had presenta of cigars, cigarettes, tobac coand bananas and other fruits with which they loaded down the soldiers and insisted upon taking the visitors totheir homes and making them welcome. Half the houses in the town had American flags waving. In the public : square the mayor made a speech of welcome in which he said that all of the people of Juana were Americans now, while the crowd shouted, “Death to the Spaniards!” Besides the towns already report edin these dispatches nine others have signified their delight at the coming of the Americans. These towns are Arroyo, Satillas, Ylabu 00a, Salinas, Sants Isabel, Ajuntas, Penuevlas, Guayamala and Guaya mo. There were Spanish troops in allof the important towns in this district. Guayamo had a large gar- rigon. It was reported to the American entrenchments that these soldiers intended to make a fight, and this morsing Gen. Wilson sent two com panies there. On the way the Americans met couriers, who said that the citizens had ordered the Spanish out of the town and had hoisted the American flag. The soldiers thought this was a trick and observed great caution in approach ing the town; but getting nearer they saw the American flag waving inthe distance and marched into the town without hesitation. Here they found a bigger recep- tion than that which was given them at Juan Diaz The American flag was waving over the public buildings and not a man in the town had op posed its being raised. The bands were playing American airs avd the men and women fell upon their knees and worshiped our soldiers. The mayor made a speech in which he said that the day of the deliver-/ ance of Porto Rico had come. | The enthusiasm of the people was| i unbounded. Crowds followed the soldiers everywhere and the Amer | icans could hardly get away from ‘° them. The mayors of four other} towns visited Ponce and told Gen | Wilson that the people of their towns were glad to be Americans. You know I loved Charley” she said “but I couldn’t be a wife—I just couldn’t. Id uever promised if it hadn’t been for mamma talking and talking and talkiog. She didn’t know at all how I felt, and she used to shame mejfor blushing and once she had Charley kiss me right before folks. And then when I thought about that after I had promised, I just coulda’t make up my mind to go away with Charley alone. I loved him, I know I did when we were among home folks but that ain't like —like it aint the same. And when folks would look at me and talk about it and mamma would talk to me about married women, my face would get hot and I'd just nearly faint. And I couldn't help it either. I did try and try and try but my heart would beat so I could scarcely whisper. And I tried to tell Charley, to ex plain you know, andJ couldn't do that, and he'd just laugh and mam- ma and papa couldn’t seem to under- stand and nobody seemed to know how I felt. Aud now Charley's dead and mamma's dead and papa’s so unhap- py. I never thought they would do it and [ don’t see why. Why, Charley knew I loved him and maybe I would have married him—some day—If I could have got over feeling that way. But the neighbors say it’s all my fault, and I don’t see how I could have helped it, but maybe I ought to. And—O,I am so miserable— and I don’t know.” Asks for Bankruptcy Discharge Topeka, Kan., Aug. 4 —Rev. Jobn 1D.

New York, August 1.—Following is a copy of a letter sent by Captain Evans, on July 23, in reply to an ar- Williamsport, Pa. praising Captain action prayer,” and making contrast what is referred to by the papers as the “frequent published profanity” of Captain Evans: “I beg to acknowledge the receipt you have been good enough to send to me. T am somewhat at a loss to know whether you sent it for the purpose of calling my attention to the cuss words attributed to me in the news- papers, or to Captain Philip’s official ing to his men on the quarterdeck of the Texas, after the battle of San- tiago, that ‘he believed in Almighty God.’ As, however, you have seen fit to drag my name in your news paper, I hope that yeu will publish this reply, that those who have read your issue of July 15 may also read what I have to say about it | Ihave never considered it neces- sary, and I am sure that a great ma- |jority of officers in the navy do not consider it necessary to announce to their crews that ‘they believe in | Almighty God.
