A dechmentof mounted Spaniards,
in an u!ort to regain possession of the

nigl:. After a sharp skirmish the
Sjuaiards were repulsed without loss
to the Arueric8ni.
Following this attack many wild

Against
this increased American force the
Spaniards made a second attack today,
were again repulsed, and fifteen of
their soIdieTS were taken prisoners.
Each of the Spanish prisoners wore
a Red Cross badge, this trick being a
favorite one with the Spaniards. The
prisoners said they were looking for
four of their comrades who had been
wounded in the skirmish, and there
upon hey were released.
The work of landing the American
troops is still under way tonight,
searchlignts being used to facilitate
thelacdiog. When all of the troops
have been sent ashore General Brooke
tomorrow will advance against Guay
ama, while the St. Louis and tha Cin
cinnati will pour a hot tire of Shrap
nel in the direction of the place.
It is expected that the Spaniards
will make a desperate resistance. It
is understood they have a considerable
force in the hills between here and
Guavma. and the garrison in the town
is reported to number 1,500 men.
This evident determination of the
enemy to resist the American advance
is due to the atrategic importance of
Guayama to General Brooke. He will
advance from Guayama to the San
Juan military road and thus will be
able either to frighten the strong
Spanish force from Aib'onito or else
will put them in a pocket. This bril
liant stroke was de; vised by Genera
ililes.

W ILL FIOHT THE FARCE.
There is a strong disposition on the
part of numerous taxpayers to prevent
the county commissioners making the
usual appropriation for a county fair,
and unless some 'steps are taken at
once an oppropriation of about $700
will no doubt be made. Injunction
has been suggested as the proper step
and while we doubt that being made
effective, we are willing to join with
otters and raise a fund to contest the
right of a few men to raid the county
treasury upon pretense of holding a
county fair. The amount to be ap
propriated is almost sufficient to buy
all the exhibits that will be on the
grounds this year, and it is the nearest
thing to robbery for a gang to get hold
of $700 of the people's money and
squander it in paying "salaries and.ex
pense to themselves for conducting
such a ridiculous farce as this thing
has been several years pat. The
Ledger, us well as most of the farmers
in this part of the county, is decidedly
in favor of putting forth some effort
to prevent this county fair foolishness,
better use the $700 improving ceme
teries, and have
