Mew York most CHECKED OUR SOLDIERS Fleeing Spaniards Blew Up the Onyon River Bridg Spanish Battery -on a Mountain Shelled the Americans—Gen. ‘Wilson’s Position, [Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.] COAMO, Porto Ricb, August 10,12 m— Troop C of New York pursued the party of fleeing Spanish engineers, after the capture of Coamo yesterday, a distance of four miles along the road to Aibonito. The Americans were checked at the Cuyon river, where the Spaniards had biown up the bridge, and were shelled from a Spanish battery on tMe crest of Asoninte mountain. The dismounted cavalry returned the fire, receiving no damage, and holding the posi- tion. A battalion of the 34 Wisconsin Vol- unteers came to their support. Today General Wilson's column is rest- ing, repairing the bridge and reconnoitering the enemy’s position. There are formidable gorges on either side, and the Spanish works are on the crests of mountains com- manding the road. ‘The Spaniards have several guns mount- ed, among them two machine guns sent back into the country from the torpedo boat destroyer Terror at San Juan. These positions it will be difficult to flank. All the men wounded in yesterday's fight- ing will recover. SPANIARDS DRIVEN Attempt Before Daybrenk to Retake the Light House. NEW YORK, August 11—The Herald has the following from Cape San. Juan, Porto Rico, August 10: There was a two hours’ fight before day- break yesterday. Eight hundred Spaniards attempted to retake the light house, which was guarded by forty of our sailors, com- manded by Lieutenant Atwater, Assistant Engineer Jenkins, Ensign Bronson and Gunner Campbell. The Spaniards were driven back by shells from the Amphitrite, Cincinnati and Leyden. Refugees report that 100 Span- iards were killed. William H. Boardman of the Amphitrite, of Lawrence, Mass., a second-class man in the Naval Academy, was seriously wound- ed. He was in the light house. The Spanish advance began from Rio Grande, whither the Spaniards had retreat- ed after the first landing of troops at Cape San Juan last week. They marched through Luquillo and pulled down the American flag at Fajardo and replaced the Spanish flag. Warned by Refugees. The terrified refugees warned the light house force that the Spanish were coming. Sixty women and children were in an out- building of the light house during the fight. The Spaniards opened with a machine gun at a distance of 300 yards. The Ley- den, Ensign Crosley commanding, rushed within a hundred yards, of the shore and poured one-pounders. into the Spaniards. Captain Barclay of the Amphitrite used six-pounders, and the Cincinnati five-inch guns. The ships landed 250 men during the fight and reinforced the light house. A machine gun, rifles and ammunition were left by the retreating Spaniards. Ensign Crosley took the refugees off at daybreak, and has gone to Ponce. Our flag is still on the light house, but the forces have been withdrawn. The Amphitrite's guns cover the light house, ready to annihilate it if our flag is hauled down. It is one of the most im- portant lights on the island. The Cincinnati has gone to the San Juan blockade. BACK. ~~ DEWEY'S LETTER OF THANKS. Writes Representative Livingston of Georgia Expressing His Gratitude. Representative Livingston of G2orgia has received at Atlunta the following letter from Admiral Dewey: “FLAGSHIP OLYMPIA, OFF CAVITE, “PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, June 17. “My Dear Sir: I have just learned fron the last papers that I am indebted to you for the introduction in the House of Rep- resentatives of the resolutions extending to me the thanks of Congress for the naval engagement of Manila bay, May 1. “I need hardly tell you that I am most sincerely grateful te you as the author of that resolution, bringing, as it does, the highest honor that can come to an Amer- ican naval officer in his professional career. But it is a great pieasure to acknowledge my debt of gratitude and to thank you in unstinted measure for the part you took in obtaining for me that greatest distinction. “It 1s a source of additional pleasure to me, a Vermonter, that the mover of the resolution was not a man from the north, but one from the far south. This is one of the good signs of the times. In the hour of danger there is no south, no north, but one united country. May we never hear of sectionalism again. There are no lines drawn in the navy. I need not say it may interest you to know that my flag leuten- ant, Lieut. Brumby, is a Georgian by birth and appointment. “Again thanking you most cordially, I re- main very gratefully and sincerely. “GEORGE DEWEY.” —_——+ + ____ TAXING STOCK CERTIFICATES. Ruling on the War Revenue Act by the Commissioner. The commissioner of internal reverue has made the following ruling in regar2 to the tax on certificates of stock provided in the war revenue act: “The intention of the law was to tax original issues of certificates of stock and to impose a tax upon every change of own- ership.

Luzon came in ‘this ‘morning and will be loaded tomorrow. . ae MADE A SFRONG PROTEST The Hawaiian Commissioners Objected to the Mariposa's Condition. Nevertheless They Had to Sail on Her, Having No Other Mea: Transportation. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 11.—Th> steamer Mariposa, conveying the Hawatian CO} jioners and 154 men of the Ist New York Volunteers to Honolulu, sailed shortly after 4 o'clock this morning. She was de- ‘teined at her dock all night awaiting the arrival of delayed English mails. ‘The Examiner says: “When the Hawaiian commission embark- €d on the steamer Mariposa they found the passenger deck stacked with boxes of onions. Senators Morgan and Cullom and Representative Hitt made a strong protest to Captain Hayward against the ship sailing in such a condition. They de- clared that it was an outrage and an insult to the government to convert the vessel which was to carry th2 official rep- resentatives on such an tmportant mission into a freight ship. Further than this, they asserted that it was unsafe to proceed to sea under such conditions. Every berth on the steamer was taken, and a number of passengers could not get sleeping accommo- dations. The commission was obliged to re- main on the vessel, for the reason that it could not secure any other means of trans- portation.” —_—-—__ DEPARTMENT OF SANTIAGO. Major General Lawton Assigned to the Command. A department of the army, to be known as the Department of Santiago, has been created, and Major General Lawton is as- signed to its command. Brigadier General ‘Wood will continue in command in the city of Santiago. Brigadier Generals Leonard Wood and Ezra P. Ewers, United States Voiunteers, will report to Major General Henry W. Lawton, United States Volunteers, for duty in the Department of Santiago. The officers of the several staff depart- ments, now on duty with the general offi- cers above named, are temporarily assign- ed to like duties at their respective head- quarters. The assignment of General Lawton to the command of the new department does not attect General Shafter’s command. The entire 5th Army Corps commanded by Shaf- ter had been ordered to the United States, and General Shafter will return with it. No part of the troops constituting the 5th Corps, will be kept in Cuba. Quite natural- ly, as long as General Shafter remains at Santiago, he will be in command of the forces there. When he leaves he will turn over the command to General Lawton. The orders issued to Shafter and Lawton with reference to the new department direct them to agree as to the time when the command shall be changed. To General Lawton will be assigned two brigades of infantry, which will constitute the permanent garrison of Santiago city and province. Of these brigades five regi- ments have been selected. They are the Ast, 2d, 3d and Sth Immunes, commanded, respectively, by Colonels Riche, Hcod, Ray and Sargent, and the &th Illinois, colored, commanded by Colonel Marshall. It is not unlikely that the 69th New York, com- manded by Colonel Duffy, now at Fernan- dina, Fla., may be selected as the 6th Regi- ment. Colonel Duffy has tendered the ser- vices of his regiment in the following tele- gram to General Corbin: FERNANDINA, Fla., August 10, 1898. Adjutant General, Washington, D. C.: Request that 69th New York Regiment be sent to Santiago. Is needed to take place of sick and wounded. DUFFY, Commanding. To this dispatch General Corbin sent the following reply late last night: Adjutant General's Office, Washington, August 10, 1898. Colonel Duffy, Commanding 69th New York Volunteers, Fernandina, Fla.: Your telegram requesting that your regi- ment be sent to Santiago has been received. The Secretary of War directs me to make known his lively appreciation of this action on your part and to say that the matter is now under consideration. H. C. CORBIN, (Signed) Adjutant General. + 0 —_____ BREAKING UP BIG CAMPS. Orders Issued to Many of the Volun- teer Regiments.

He will remain in Connecticut a greater part of the time, but will probably go for e@ while on a pleasure trip to the Maine coast. Mr. Porter is a candidate for the repub- lican nomination for governor of Connec- ticut. His opponent is Mr. Loundsberry, a brother of the former governor, The campaign is growing warm.

Balfour Confesses That the O!d Rela- tive Superiority Cannot Be Main- tained in the Empire. The Peking correspondent of the London Times says: “The Tsung Li Yamen has given formal assent to all the conditions imposed by the Russian charge d'affaires, M. Pavloff, re- farding the contract for the New-Chwang railway extension loan. These conditions are in direct conflict with the terms of the signed contract, and are designed to block the completion of the final contract. “M. Pavloff’s conditions as to the New- Chwang railway are that the line should not be mortgaged zs security, and that no foreign control or interference should be permitted even in case of a default. So far as the Peking Han Kow contract is con- cerned, a separate agreement appoints as arbitrator in any disputed question the minister in Peking of the country having the largest financial interest in it. This gives the Russian minister absolute power.” The Times, commenting on the dispatch of its Peking correspondent, says: ““M. Pav- lof has knocked the bottom out of the British concessions. The news makes short work of all Mr. Balfour's demonstrations cn the subject of the ‘open door.’ ” In the house of commons yesterday Sir Charles Dilke, advanced radical, opened an attack upon’ the government's foreign policy. Sir William Vernon Harcourt fol- lowed in the same strain. The government leader, Mr. Balfour, replying to the last speaker, contended there was no evidence of preference having been given to foreign manufacturers or traders in China, nor of an intention to put up barriers against British subjects. It was impo ible, he said, to foresee how the struggle for concessions would end; but he saw no reason for the pessi- mistic views entertained in some quarters. Regarding Shan-Tung, Mr. Balfour sal “We must treat Germany as we expect her to treat us.” Referring to Russia, Mr. Balfour said he saw no necessity for taking a pessimistic view of the situation, and he would be sur- prised if the British concessionaires did not get their full share. Mr. Balfour's speech appears to have been intended as a statement of the gov ernment’s policy in China, which the oppo- sition has been demanding before the close of parliament. He did not enter into de- tails of the complications, and the drift of his explanation was that the government's critics expected impossibiliti In the course of his remarks Mr. Balfour said ic could not be pretended that the British empire alone, or in alliance with an- ether empire, could prevent the legitimate development of other commercial and mil- i empires. Mr. Balfour then said: Though we may not anticipate main- iaining our cld relative superiority in China, it is expected that the volume of British trade will increase as rapidly in the future as in the past. The question of equal facilities of trade is distinct from the question of concessions.” ewe ORDERS TO ARMY OFFICERS, Gen. Willston to Go to Montaak Point —Gen, Duffield to Take a Rest.

Put Ashore All Her Latest Expedition for Gomez. ‘The tug Uncas, commanded by Lieut. R. Brainerd, reached Key West yesterday after an exciting fortnight of blockade duty on the north Cuban coast. On this, her latest trip, the Uncas put sshore all her expedition for Gomez, and had a dan- gerous fire in her hold, just above the magazines. In spite of all this, she looked none the worse when she steamed into Key West harbor for more coal and pro- visions. When the Uncas left Key West two weeks ago she carried Captain Steele of Gomez's staff, with six other Cubans and 500 Remington carbines and ammunition for the insurgent commander's forces. The next morning an overturned cook stove in the forecastle started a fire. The Uncas was then only two or three miles off Havana, and a well-directed shell from any of the land batteries would have sent her to the bottom. Those on board the Uncas could see the troops of Spaniards about the guns ashore, but no deadly mes- sengers came their way, and after the fire had been extinguished the tug proceeded to Cay Confites, near Caibarien, where she put her little Cuban party ashore without encountering a Spaniard, It was while lying off Matanzas, a day or two ago, the Uncas was fired upon. As away the Uncas returned the fire with her three forward and after eix- pounders. ‘Then occurred a pe incident a ing the superstitions of seamen. e shell from the Uncas’ stern gun hed just ale.
