Camp, Lands End. Port Royal, S. C, July 30. We arrived here on the 18th of this month at two o'clock a. m. The boys seem to be enjoying themselves and having a lot of sport. We have only one objection and that is the mos quitoes. They are so bad il is impos sible to sleep at night. Most of the boys do their sleeping in the day time and stay up at night. We have fires all down the company street- at night and they afford us some protection. We are on the St. Helena Island, at a new United States fort now under construction. The nearest post office is Port Royal, which is about five miles up the river. This part of the island is inhabited altogether by ne groes, it is said mere are o,uuu ne groes and 150 white people on the island. I have seen only three white persons here who were not employed by the government. The boys have good times fishing, bathing, and sailing on the river. They say every day is Sunday here. We only drill one hour a day, from six to seven, p. m. As far back as six miles this island is all swamp, that is as far as we have been able to get as yet, but a trip is planned for Sunday clear across, which is ten miles It is only a short trip to Beau fort, which is a very nice little place to spend Ike day. Sometimes we go on the United States tugs and some time in sail boats. There is a small passenger boat that leaves the camp at 8:30 a. m. and re turns at 3:30 p. in., just 35 cents for round trip. Several of the boys go up to town every day. We have just received the report that Company G of the Second Regiment was to join us and of course we are delighted at the news. A few of the boys have abandoned their tents and built small houses which give much - more satisfaction. The tents we have are not the best any way; a good many of them leak so bad it is impossible to keep dry and just now is the rainy season here. One thing the boys enjoy here which they did not at Raleigh, we have no guard line or guard houses: we can go where we please within a radius of one mije of camp. If we want to go further we have only to apply for leave of absence which is always granted. The negroes here can hardly make themselves understood. Some of them peddle bread and fish in camp. They say, "Three breads and two fish, five cents." If you want six biscuits and four fish you must buy iwice, as they will not sell but three biscuits and three fish for ten cents. We relieved Co. E, of the Fifth reg iment, U. S. regulars, when we came here and they went to Key West, Fla., to join their egiment, which, I be lieve, is to go Porto Rico. I guess we are doomed to spend our two years down here with the black gratts. and mosquitoes. But I hope we will soon get used tothem.andthecroakiogof the frogs. We get a pretty steady sea breeze which is one pleasure to us. We are about nine miles from the Atlantic coast. We have a few boys here who keep in mischief enough to keep the com pany in high spirit. I don't think any of our boys ever have the blues. We are about one and a half miles from and below the naval station. Our boys visit the Nantucketf which is anchored near us, right often. Her crew is from Wilmington, N. C, and a very nice crowd of young men. Our mail arrives daily at 4 p. m and and leaves at noon. We get very little news here. We have so murh to think about and to amuse ourselves, that most of us do not give the papers much thought. Four mules for Co. D arrived on the steamer Pilot Bay from Savanah yesterday evening. They are al young the oldest is only seven, but they are very well broken and work together. I gee 6e?eraJ pi the ooys with tbeir blanketg now going down on the river to sleep. That seems to be the plac l, as the breeze keeps the mnamiituu hlnwTi back. I have no further news of interest and will close Yours very respeotfullyt Chas. H- Powell.

High Point. N. C. Aug. 1,'9S. i The Welbourn property on corner of English and Ingram streets, was sold at auction . Saturday to Mr. Lee ayne. If the town authorities could have seen the number of wagons that was standing crossways of Main street Saturday, we believe they would lose no time in removing all the hitching posts on the street, for at least pne block below. We regret very much that an Amer ican citizen, bred and born Tarheel and nearer still, a business man in this city should be so thoughtless as to say that "no gentleman would go to the war." He needs to be taught a lssson in patriotism. There was a young man in the city yesterday wearing a soldiers uniform who gave his name as Zeb Johnbon, of Western North Carolina and claim ing that he had enlisted in Co. L. of the Second regiment and that he had lost his health and received an hon orable discharge and was without means to get home on. A collection was taken up and a ticket bought for him and he left on last night's train Many friends were at the depot this morning to bid farewell to Claude C. Barbee, formerly manager of the Tele gram Bureau at this place, who left to join the First regiment X. C. V. with the 7th army corps under General Fii'zh'gh Lee at Jacksonville. We trust he will make a gallant soldier and return as sound as he is today. Chas. Morris, James Hyatt and John Johnson left Saturday night for Jacksonville to join the First regi ment. V. R. Richardson returned to Greensboro this morning. Prof. Dred Peacock, of Gruenoboro, passed through this morning. Capt. W. K. Johns, of Mt. Airy, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Harvey, of Welt on, are visiting the family of W. E. Johns, Jr. Prof. O. W. Carr was in the city this morning. Miss Bert Tomlinson, of Archdale. was in the city today. Ed Petty, of Archdale, was iu the city today. Rov.P. J.L'arraway passed through the city this morning. E. H. F'elds went down to Greens boro this morning. Mrs. W. H. Ragan is spending the day in Greensboro. TRINITY ENDORSED. Resolutions Adopted by the Shelby District Conference. The Shi lby District Conference, in session at Lincolnton, passed resolu tions as copied below endorsing Trin ity College: Resolved, 1st. That, rejoicing at the large measure of success that has come to our district schools and church colleges, we heartily recommend them to our people as worthy of their full est confidence within the limits of their respective courses; that we heartily endorse the board of trustees of Trin ity College, and its president, in their efficient management of our institu tions, and we thank Mr. Washington Duke and Mr. B. N Duke for their munificent gifts that are aiding so ma terially its development. 2nd. That the origination and cir culation of recent slanders upon . our college and its president emphasizes the necessity that men only of known sympathy with it shall be appointed upon its board of trustees, as editors of the North Carolina Christian Ad vocate, and upon the Conference board of education, and we recommend to the annual Conference the rigid re quirement of this standard in the men that it shall select for these important duties, believing, as we do, that no in stitution can live in the hands of its enemies.

Bogart's excursion returned from Wilmington Sunday morning at 2:08 Of course the excursionists were sleepy at that houi but they report a most enjoyable trip. The best feature o the trip was the ten mile ride out to sea on the steamer Wilmington. All the party but three got seasick, but after a little while were all right and in a condition to enjoy the trip. Many of the excursionists remained in Wil mington until today and came up this afternoon on the passenger train.

By Wire to Thi Tmjdobam. Whashington, August 1 Fifteen thousand soldiers are to be sent to Porto Rico to reinforce General Miles immediately. It is the determination of the government to push the war as strenuously as possible up to the last minute when armistice is declared.

He and his staff are now on the way to Washington with nstructions that the reinforcements are to consist of fifteen regiments.

Washington, August 1 The presi dent and some members of the cabinet are hopeful that a peace treaty will eventually result from the overtures made by Spain and the terms submit ted in reply. SPAIN'S OVERTURES ANSWERED. Washington, August 1 Ambassa dor Cambon immediately sent to Spain the government note in answer to the overtures made by that government. The president looks for an answer by Wednesday. Some members of the cabinet do not deny the report that upon Cambon has been conferred the office of plenipotentiary for the Span ish. The feeling of peace is becoming general, and already the names of commissioners for the United States are being talked of, the latest be ing mention are Woodford, former minister to Spain, and Richard Olney, but there are no official grounds for the report. SPANISH PLATE OF HASH. Madrid, Aug 1 French, German and Austrian Ambassadors had a conference with the Spanish minister of foreign affairs yesterday. The result is unknown. Advices from Havana say the Cuban blockade is" maintained in the most vigorous manner. Sansverino Men tanzos is reported to have been bom barded by warships. The report also says a force of four hundred Ameri can infantry and cavalrv attacked a detachment of Spanish engineers at Graciosa and were repulsed, leaving ten men dead on the field. The Span ish loss is one officer and two men wounded. Sympathy for Bereaved Germany. Cable to TBI Tslbgkam.

This morning about 10 o'clock i the horses hitched to Ihe street sprinkler were left standing near the public pump in front of Jeffrey's store on South Elm street and when the driver was off started to run. A train was passing across the street and the gates were down, but this did not stop: the horses. They ran around the train be fore the gates had been raised and the sprinkler struck one end of the gate, breaking it completely off and render ing it useless. The end of -the gate on the other side was broken off. The horses next turned into Depot street, turned the sprinkler over and broke loose from it. The black horse, be longing to the Protector Hose Com pany was thrown by the single-tree at the corner of Depot and Davie streets and was going at such a speed that he slid all the way across Davie. He re gained his feet without stopping, but was unable to turn and ran into a window of Cunningham Bros? office. One shutter of the window was broken, the lower sash knocked out and the glass broken into bits. Harry Cun ningham was in the office and what he did in the way of getting out "was a plenty." Both the horses received several cuts and the black horse was somewhat bruised by his slide on the cobble stones.

By Cable to The Telegram. Ponce, via St. Croix, Aug. 1 Porto Rico is turning American as fast as the United States troops ad vance and the citizens of the island are enthusiastic an are giving much help in locating the recreant Span iards. Large numbers of them have been brought into the cities by vigi- ant citizens and turned over to the troops. After signing parole agree ment they are released and with hardly an exception they join with ;the crowd n, praising and assisting the Ameri cans. The troops advanced Saturday night toward the Outposts of San Juan. Juana Diaz, twelve miles from Ponce, was the second town taken by the Amer ican troops. Guanica being the first and then Yauco. When the troops took possession of the latter town the mayor issued a proclamation exhort ing all citizens to conduct themselves properly towards the Americans; also brilliantly lauding America and its arms. ' The citizens are -intensely loyal to our governments When the troops arrived they fell upon their knees to embrace the legs of the invasion hosts. It was truly a remarkable reception to the invading army. Ponce today was placarded with posters issued by the mayor"upon the' order of General Wilson demanding the surrender of all arms and declar ing it the duty of every citizen to in form the troops where arms are con cealed. A great number of arms have have been turned in to date and it is thought two thousand Spaniards will sign the parole documents. The campaign is being pushed witn all vigor and General Miles expresses great satisfaction at the progress being made. SPAIN ABANDONS HOPE. Madrid, August 1 A depression is manifest in government circles over the news from Augustine, at Manila A despairing attitude has settled over everything the past few days and the announcement of the fall of Manila is expected hourly. The American peace conditions are taken here to mean the virtual strip ping of Spain of all her possessions: The hope for foreign interference has been abandoned, and, as harsh as tne term 8 of peace are considered to be, it is believed there is no other course open to Spain than to accept them.
