It seems that Forals second jirojiosition to surrender was rejected and fighting resumed. The advent of .Miles ou the scene with instruc tions from Washington also led to resumption o( hostilities. It is thought Siitiliaga will lie garrisoned by immune regiments. j Indicatioiii are that the Porto Hico Lieut.

Miles means relief to the ad ministration as the oflicials are worried by Shatter's illness. It is said that Miles will not assume command over Shatter unless the latter is Incapacitated. Miles is actiug in an advisory capacity for Long, as matters are not moving to suit him. ter. PRATT'S CLOSE SHAVE. Sam Fulton Sends a Bullet to Murder lllin But Misses the Murk. Policemau Charles A. Pratt had a most miraculous escape htxt uigbt. The shave for his life was no clone, that a bullet from a British bulldog plntol scorched his coat ou the left breast aud arm. The deadly missile came from a pistol held by the hand of Ham Fulton who evidently had it in hie heart to do murder. Mr. Pratt stated to a reporter that he bad not the slightest doubt that his. assailant had that object In view and tbe circumstances in the case would make it seem to be premed itated. About 6 o'clock In the evening Po llman Pratt received a telephone message that an officer was wanted at Hherinan A Th. Hips' bar mom on Church street as there was a row ou there a sort of miniature New York bowery affair, auch as occasionally finds Its way Into a city which has hopes of becoming metropolitan some day. With much alacrity tbe genial ofllcer hied bimseirofTto this field of duty, landed iu due season upou the eceue aud took the names of wit'iesse to the disturbance befo e tbe bar which brings smiles, then frowux, then fights. Next be summoned Ham Kulton to o with him and answer duly br.ng for the charge of iiuiHance against him. Fultou weut part way lu peace bul suddenly It posseeped bis soul to rebel and he bucked and reared just as they came to tbe Southern depot. Policemin Mclver from Alt. Airy, came to Pratt's assistance and together tbey dowued bliu aud put the chains on tbe belliger ent fellow. Then Piatt led him peace fu'ly along until they n oared the city building. Kulton begged that the chains be takeo off and Pratt took thermoff. When they reached the chiefs room, Chief Tea'ue asked Fulion to put up five dollars for his apa ranee at court next evening. Fulton replied that be would have to go to bis fatherV stora on Maaten's corner to get it. So, ofllcer and prisoner went there. Fultou went behind tbe counter and opened the cash drawer. Pratt tuppoaed be was getting tbe money out bat great waa his surprise when he saw a abort ugly British hull-dog pistol staring him In tbe face. Pratt beat basty retreat from tbe store room and sta tioned himself near tbe door' alongside tb. building. Fulton followed In bit wake and while looking up and down tb street for Pratt, tb. Utter seised Fulton by the arm and a scuffle ensued. Both fell to tb ground.

Upon the ground Pratt soon became master of bis antagonist and awtallaiit. He grabbed Fulton's ugly weapon and hurled It to the middle of the street. James Fll. ton, father of Ham, ran to tbe street for tbe pistol but before be could get It a colored man standing by picked It up and refused to let. the old man have it. It is well that the old mail did not get tb. pistol as Pratt says be had his own pistol ready for use aud would have sbot the old man full of holes just as soon as be should have attempted to shoot him, Pratt, Hitting astride his prisoner aud tbe would-be niurderer,'bcld him dbwn until Otllcer Poindexter came to his assistance.
