SHAFTER. FOHTO ItlCANS DELIGHT IN NEW OUIIKK OF THINGS. PONCE, P. R., Aug. 1,—(Via St. Thomas)—The following is the text of the mayor's proclamation issued at Yaueo, as a United States city: “Citizens: Today the citizens of Porto Rica assist in one of her most beautiful feasts. The sun of America shines upon our mountain and vail eys tins day of July, 18!ts. It is a gala day of glorious remembernnccs for each sou of this beloved island, because for the first time there waves over her the flag of the stars, planted in the name of the government of the United States of America, by the major-general of the army, Scn<»r Miles. “Porto Ricans, we are, by the miraculous intervention of the Cod of the just, given back to the bosom of our mother America, iu whose waters na ture has placed us as people of America. To her wc arc givuu back in the name of her government by General Miles and we must send our most ex pressive salutatiou of generous affection through our conduct toward the valient troops represented by distinguished otllcers and commanded by the illustrious General Miles. “Citizens, long live the government of the United States of Aineriua hail to their valient troops; hail to Porto Itico, ai.vays American. “Yaueo, Porto Rico, 1 nited States of America, (Signed) -EL ALCALDE FRANCISCO MIAGA." An Englishman's V iew's Tlilnk* Amsr !<•» Should Control Ills I'hlllpplns*. New York, July 30.- Plana are under consideration for the establish ment of new steamship lines directly fioui America to Manila. A German syndicate and a Scotch syndicate are both engaged in the preliminary work of starting companies in the heleif that Dewey s victory will open a new and lucrative line of traoe. A Herbert Rennie, a Hrltish subject, and large wholesale dealer in American flour iu lioug Kong is in the city on business connected with one of the proposed uew lines Mr. Heuniu said. We Englishmen wanted the United Hiates to control the Philippines. We | have much admiration for Admiral Dewey, who has shown himself calm ! under ilillicitlties, even under insult.

The flour business in Asia is enormous and as a matter of fact it sup plies almost all dead weight for steamers leaving America for Asia which is most necessary in crossing the Pacific. In my opinion a cable to Manila is an absolute necessity. If the Amer ican government istends to keep any of these possessions it must have a cable which it can control.” LATER NEWS. Mrs. S. F.
