PONCE, Aug. 4. -- So far as known no further forward movement will be made by the American troops until the arrival of more transports, which are expected hourly. There has been no fighting up to the present, so far as known. The Spaniards are expected to make their first stand at Abonitas, thirty-five miles from here, where 2,000 or 3,000 Spanish regulars are believed to be intrenched.
