The gun- one-pounder and Lieutenant Henry B. Wilson, with fourteen men, all carry--| ing rifles, was sent in to intercept tkh | stranger. She turned out to be a Span- | ish schooner. When first observed the | Spaniard lay near the of the | nto Domingo, recently sunk by the Eagle. By the time the steam launch | reached that point the schooner had | worked into’ a port and & party of Spaniards, including a body of soldiers, was attempting to haul her ashore. The launch stood boldly in and a brisk fire from her one-pounder speedily | attered the crowd. The Spaniards | took refuge in high grass on the right | shore, but in spite of the fact that the | men in the launch were ignorant of the | enemy’s strength the Amerfcans went | ahead with their work with admirable | coolness. James Munroe, a first-class appren- | tice, swam to the schooner and made | a line fast to her in order to pull her out. At the same time Valdemar Hohengren, an ordinary seaman, | dropped over the side of the launch and made for a pier, where a small sloop- | as moors The launch then commenced to haul off the schoon- and while an- ; being run to her the Span- | had sought shelter in the | woods, poured in a murderous rifle fire. Koulourie, who was leaning over the side of the launch, was shot through | the breast and fell dead. Fortunately no one else was even injured. Instantly the men in the launches be- | gan a rapid return of the fire \with | their rifies, while Lieutenant Wilson | thrown by -Hohengren from the | small boat, which he had shoved off | from the pier. Her bow was pulled out and the one-pounder was opened on the ambuscade with such a well directed | alm that the Spaniards were routed without a chance to return the Ameri- | can fire. The schooner had in the meantime gone hard aground and be- ing so damaged as to be almost use- less enough shells were sent into her She was load- ed with green corn, grain and rum. Commander. -Clover warmly praised the gallantry 6f the launch party, the members of which did not falter under heavy fire, but directed all its energies to rescuing Hohengren, who, alone on the wharf, was in a perilous situation. Koulourie was buried at sea the same afternoon. The next morning the Bancroft started for Sigunea Bay, where the gunboat Maple had gone to blockade and sound out a passage. On August 4 Commander Clover, who was senior officer there, transferred his flag to the Maple while the Bancroft's boilers were undergoing repairs. He took the launch with him under Ensign Vogel- sang, still armed with her one-pounder. They proceeded to the northwest ex- tremity of the Isle of Pines and there saw a sloop and a large “schooner anchored in shore. The launch went in after them, but as soon as she was ob- served approaching the crew of the| Spanish vessel took to their small boats. The sloop was aground and to- ward this vessel Ensign Vogelsang headed the launch. As the latter drew | near to the sloon a party of Spaniards on shore opened fire on the Americans. Then the launch’s one-pounder agaln opened on the enemy, but before. she had fired many.shells the Maple opened with her six-poundeér ard swept the brush-lined beach. While the dense foliage ashore gave the enemy a de- cided advantage no Americans were hit, but it is safe to say that under the Maple’s heavy fire a large number of Spaniards were killed or wounded. The sloop turned out to be a trading vessel with no cargo on board and not worth the trouble of sending to an American port. A few shots from the Maple put her under water. The schooner, however, proved to be of value. She was the Carmita, loaded with wood and charcoal. She was hauled out and anchored until the next morning, when the Maple, towing the schooner and launch, resumed her jour- ney to Sigunea Ba: HOW THE TOWN OF COAMO WAS TAKEN WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The War Department late to-day gave out the following delayed telegram: “PONCE, Aug. 9.—Secretary of War, ‘Washingto: The following was re- ceived from General Wilson: General Ernst’s brigade captured Coamo at 8:30 this morning. The Sixteenth Pennsyl- vania, Colonel Hulings commanding, led by Lieutenant Colonel Biddle of my staff, having made a turning movement through the mountains, striking the Ai- bonito road a half mile beyond the town, captured the entire garrison of Coamo, about 150 men. The Spanish ccmmander, Illeroa, and Captain Lopez were killed. Our loss is reported as six wounded, only one severely. The men and officers behayed excellently..

PLANNING FORMS OF GOVERKMENT New Possessions Under Consideration. PORTO RICO AN EASY TASK BUT CUBA REQUIRES SERIOUS THOUGHT. President and Cabinet Carefully Dis- cuss the Situation—HMany Com- plex Questions to Be Handled. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Plans for the temporary government of Cuba and the territory which will be acquired from Spain as a result of the war are now under serious congideration by the President and members of the Cabine Porto Rico, as an actual acquisition to the territory of the United States, will | be placed in charge of a military gov- ernor who will ¢ a supervisory control of all the functions of govern- ment, under the direction of the Pri ident, until Congress shall determine upon a permanent form of government for the island. The President under the constitution has no authority to, go beyond this preliminary or temporary stage of the establishment of any sys- tem of governmental control, and, al- altogether probable that in message to Congress on the sub- ject he will exercise his constitutional privilege of making recommendations, upon Congress alone will devolve the responsibility and duty of determining the .character of the political relations which Porto Rico shall permanently bear to the United States. ~ There are reasons why the President himself favors a colonial form of gov- ernment,. and this, view is shared by members of the Cabinet. Canada is noted as being a model colonial Gov- ernment, satisfactorily alike to the majority of its and to_ the mother countr system, how- ever, it i3 believed, can be put into ope- ration only after the lapse of a con- siderable period, and after the people have demonstrate actorily their ability to govern selves intelli- | gently in all loc Upon the evacuation of Cuba it { up during August. believed to be the intention of the Pres: ‘When the total cost of the war comes ident to establish for the whole island | to be figured up and divided by the a temporary military , sim- [ number of days hostilities were actual- pe down to their ul occupations, it is belteved to be the view of the Pg idént that a convention of the repre sentatives of the peaple should be ealled | d upon, should have the u ble right to vote for whoe to rep: nt him at this con- vention.

WHAT IT COST T0 WHIP SPAIN Uncle Sam’l Must Pay for His Fun. NEARLY A MILLION A DAY EXPENDITURES WILL NOT END WITH PEACE. For Some Time to Come the Ameri- can Army and Navy Must Be Maintained on Their Present Footing- Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Peace is now assured and Uncle Sam, who, in equipping fleets and armies, and send- ing them against the foe, has plunged his hands deep into his strong box, spending money without stint, can sit down and figure out what it has all cost. It may be many months before the money cost of the war will be fig- ured up even approximately. Should the army and navy be reduced to peace footing to-morrow, there would still be many millions paid out for odds and ends of all kinds and on contracts which have been entered into. But the army and navy cannot yet be reduced. Both must be kept on a war footing until the final treaty of peace has been ratifled and until means' are 1 ided for maintaining order in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Al this means that expenditures are still to go on for many months at almost the same rate as if actual hostilities were in progress. Only a rough estimate can be made of the amount of money that the war has cost up to the present time. ‘Actual payments made up to date on account of the war, as nearly as they can be estimated by treasury officlals, foot up about $95,000,000. Of the total expendi- tures thus far about $61,000,000 has been | paid out on account of the army, and about $34,000,000 on account of the navy. As the war has exisfed since April 21, or 113 days, the average daily expendi- tures have been about $840,700. During the month of July the average war expenditures were about $1,000,000 } a day, and this average is being kept | ly in progress it is probable the result will show the daily cost has been fully $1,500,000. TRADES PLANNED BY GAGE'S MEN LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.—There was a moticeable scarcity of = petty politi- cians in and about the Hollenbeck, the headquarters of Henry T. Gage, to-day. Many of them had returned to their respective districts fully instructed re- garding the selectlon of delegates to be voted for at the primaries to be held throughout the county next Monday, and there is no doubt about the carry- ing out of the programme as prepared by the managers of the local candidate for Governor. The interest of every other eandidate for office is being made a secondary consideration, and the plan of the Gage forces is to make any com- bination possible to insure his nomina- tion at Sacramento. Trades are freely spoken of by men who are clese to the aspirant for gu- bernatorial honors, and some are bold enough to assert that if Lou Brown will keep out of the fight for Governor he can have the vote of the Gage forces for a renomination for Secretary of State. | Realizing the weakness of the ticket headed by a man from the south, they are looking toward San Francisco for help. Tirey L. Ford has been sug- gested as the most available candidate to strengthen the ticket, and the Gage delegates will be for Ford if he can be induced to throw his strength in the convention in the right direction. The Young Business Men's Republi- can Chub of this city opened the cam- paign to-night by giving a reception to the various Republican candidates, and Music Hall was crowded to overflowing by enthusiastic Republicans. Frank Davis presided and addresses were de- livered by Truman Reeves of San Bernardino, Judge Work and State Superintendent of Public Instruction S. T. Black. —_———— STOCKTON DOWNS BUDD MEN.

De Pangher was beaten out at the preliminary meeting last night, and when two of the San Francigco men got in then the boys, who are solidly for Magulire, declared they would do up the outsiders to-da,Y, and they did. The winners say they will send Magulre delegates to the State conven- tion. Two Jocal men who were belleved to be with the Budd men from the Har- bor Commission were also defeated, ——— SAN DIEGO REPUBLICANS. Elect Delegates and Indorse U. S. Grant for Senator.

GREATER HONOR IN STORE FOR DEWEY Grade of Admiral Be Created. May HE WOULD GET THE PLACE HIS REWARD HAS NOT YET BEEN SUFFICIENT. Was Advanced Only Two Numbers for His Victory, While Samp- son Went Forward Eight Numbers. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: There is a strong feeling in Washington that -Rear Admiral Dewey should receive a greater reward than has been accorded him, and there is a strong probabilty that the Presi- dent in his message to Congress will urge the revival of the grade of vice- admiral, and that Rear Admiral Dewey | be appointed to the office when it au- thorized by law. For his victory in Manila Bay Dewey has advanced only two numbers while Rear Admiral Sampson has been ad- vanced eight numbers, and Rear Ad- miral Schley six for the fight oif San- tiago. If the grade of vice-admiral had | existed eight numbers would have ad- vanced Rear Admiral Dewey to that rank. Naval officers generally hope that not only will the grade of vice-admiral be revived, but that Congress will ate the grade of admiral. If this is done, Rear Admiral Dewey would naturally be appointed to fill it, not only because of the part he played in the battle of Manila Bay, but because of his treat- ment of the vexing questions which have arisen since his victory. What officer will be designated to fill the grade of vice-admiral if the higher rank were revived, cannot b tatively stated, but the administration would undoubtedly select Rear Admiral Sampson while the friends of Rear Ad- miral Schley would urge his appoint- ment. In any event, as soon as Con- gress convenes there will be a bitter controversy in the Senate and House between the friends of the two officers as to which 1s entitled to the credit for the victory off Santiago. KILLED AT MANILA BY SHARPSHOOTERS Dr. John Barron of Coketown, Pa., Receives a Cablegram Telling of His Brother’s Fate. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—A Pittsburg special to the Herald s: Dr. John Barron of Coketown, Westmoreland County, to-day received a cablegram from Manila announcing the death of his brother, Professor George Barron, principal of the Ligonier Publie Schools. Professor Barron was first sergeant of Company E, Tenth Penhsylvania Vol- unteers. The cablegram merely stated that he had been killed by sharpshcot- ers. As the pame did not appear in the official list of killed and wounded in the ritt to the War Department it is thought Professor Barron was killed after the battle. ' Citizens of Mount Pleasant are talking of erecting a mon- | of members of | ument to the memory Company E who fell at Malate. —_———— WYOMING REPUBLICANS ADOPT A GOLD PLANK | DOUGLASS, Wyo., Aug. 11.—The Re- publican State convention, after two re- cesses, was called to order at 2:30 p. m., and the report of the committee on reso- Jutions was read and unanimously adopt- ed. The resoluttons reaffirm in general terms the national declarations made at St. Louls in 1896. The financial plank is as follows: The financial policy of the Republican party having brought prosperity to the entire coun- try and given us a place among the nations of the earth and enabled us to conduct success- fully a forelgn war, we uphesiiatingly re- affirm the financial plank of 'the platform as expressed by the national convention at St. Louts. The platform indorses the “twin meas- ures of the Repubiican party—protection and prosperity.”’ approves the Dingley tariff law, supports the ministration in its vigorous prosecution of the war against Spain; praises the country's heroes, approves Hawalian annexation and favors the construction of the Nica- ragua canal. Upon territorial aggran- dizement the platform says: We congratulate the country that President McKinley is fully able to pursue a poliey upon the declaration of peace with Spain which will at once maintain the dignity and honor of our nation and bring prosperity to the islands which will come under our control and pro- tection. Following the adoption of the platform, Frank W. Mondell, for Congress, and De Forrest Richards, for Goyernor, were nominated by acclamation. The ticket nominated is as follows: F. Chatterton, for Secretary of State; Leroy Grant, for Augitor; T. T. Tynon, for Superintendent Diseases and Weakness of Men No Pay Till Cure Is Effected. uthori- | | | | | | | L. P. DEGEN, THE P.
