Dingley of Maine, who has been in the

today "What do you think about the

piled:
''No one can tell at this time. Events
adjust themselves and sometimes in a
sudden and unexpected .manner The
situation will undoubtedly be taken care
of as it arises and would not like to
venture an opinion in advance of what
will be done.
II feel sure. however, that there is no

pean interference in whatever programme
this government may adopt for the Phil
ippines. believe the rumored protests

be merely unauthorized reports and will
not materialize into anything definite.
The conduct of the Germans at Manila is
subject to criticism, but their action, L
believe, will not get beyond bounds.
II do not pay any attention to the al
legged attitude of Europe protesting
against the sending of Commodore Wat.
position would be untenable. This govern
ment is at war with Spain and we have
right to strike her where and when we
please. 1t remains for us alone to say
whether we will send 8 feet to Spain. OF
course if we contemplated Selling and
holding Spanish territory on the continent
it might cause disquiet among the powers
for fear that the balance of power might
be disturbed. They would have no right,
however, to objecu to the harrassing of
the coast and commerce by fleet.

THREE LANDING PLACES.

Washington, July 23.-The administra-
tion has decided to send three separate
expeditions to Porto Rico. The first will
iand at Guanica, under command of
General Miles, and from Guanica it will
go to Janco, which is q large village with
healthy climate, where the troops can
esiaoEsh stronghold. Thence troops
VIII go to Ponce by rail, and from Ponce,
'54 kilometres, to San Juan, on a very
good road, which is easily traversable IN
either the rainy or the dry season. This
expedition is commanded directly by Gen.
Miles, who will await in Guanioa this
Porto Rican troops under command OF
General Antonio Mattel Lluveras.
The second expedition will land in Far
Jardo, south port Of San Juan, and the
third will land in one of the small playas
on the north side, where there is no port,
but from which it will besege and cut
off the retreat of the Spanish forces II
the three expeditions land on the three
sides of the shore they will make o circle
around Porto Rico, and within fifteen
days General Miles will control the entire
country. In Guanica there are telegraph
facilities, but no cable. The cable starts
from Ponce and leads directly to San.
tomas: II General Miles gets control OF
the cable in Ponce he can communicate
direct with the United States by way Of
Galveston.

FOR RESERVE CAMPS.

1t is the purpose of the war depart
ment to begin at once the execution of
the plans devised by Secretary Alger for
the creation of reserve camps and boards
OF staff officers are now engaged in vari-
GUS localities looking after suitable camp
sites and making preliminary arrange
ments for acquiring the right to use
these places and arranging for water
supplies. The intention is not to be
caught through any contingency with q
large number of troops at central points
in the midst of an epidemic of any kind.
with no place to which to remove them,
1t was for this reason that Fernandina
was selected some time ago as one of
these reserve camps and within the last
two days, the value of this policy has
been amply justified, as otherwise there
would have been no suitable place to re-
move the troops from Tampa. One of
the reserve camps is likely to be located
in the valley of the Potomac about 40
miles above Washington and will be very
convenient for the reception of troops
from Camp Alger in case it is deemed
necessary for the health of the soldiers
to remove. The State Department today
completed the engrossment of the joint
resolutions adopted by Congress, ex-
tending the thanks of that branch of the
government to Admiral Dewey for his
notable achievements in the Philip
pines. These were transmitted to the
navy department which will forward
them to the Admiral, along with the de-
gree of l.. D., conferred on him by the
University of Pennsylvania.

HE RESENTS CRITICISM.

Washington, July % There have been
good many criticisms of the conuctd
of the staff departments of the army dur
Ing this war and most of them have been
based on insufficient evidence Promi-
nent among thess was that made by a
prominent New York citizen charging
the conmissary department with gross
dereclitions. This was brought to the
attention of Secretary Alger by his per-
sonal friend. Gen. L. NJ. Dodge Of New
York, and because of the prominence of
tho critic. the secretary felt called upon
to mako tho following response:
"My Dear Dodge-The lieutenant.
colonel, whoever he is, referred to in the
article OF yesterday which you sent me,
was no doubt simply writing home
showing the hardships that our men en-
dured during the campaign which re.
suited in The fall of Santiago l have
no belief that he wrote in q complaining
way, but simply statement of facts as
they existed. He knew that there were
ample rations aboard the ships, He
knew the impossibility Of getting them
to the command more rapidly than they
were gotten He knew the necessity Of
remaining in line of battle and forcing
the attack to as early termination as
being done that could be done, but this
sympathetic old gentleman who is writ
ing in q way TO spread dissatisfaction
among our people at home, and, in fact
to misrepresent the Northumberland
he refers to and casting unjust reflections
upon the commissary general. Ethan
whom better and more energetic and
faithful man never filled the office),
is unpatriotic. unjust and knows moth
ing about army life in war. You and ]
know what this means. It has always
occurred and always will occur. That
is war, and war would not be war with
out it. The GROWERS are always there
who stay at home.''

TO SAVE THE SHIPS.

Washington, July "a. Lieutenant Hob
sons visit is expected to bring about an
enlargement of the plans for saving the
wrecked Spanish cruiser, Cristobal Colon
and some Of the other stranded ships of
Cervera's squadron.
The department had already acted on
the recommendations of Admiral Samp-
son, but those coming by telegraph were
necessarily limited. while the complete
information brought by Lieutenant Hob
son is based upon personal observation
and an expert knowledge of existing con-
ditions, enabling the department. to get
much mora thorough idea of the scope
of this work, and the possibility of saving
the ships.
The Colon is lying on terraoed beach
only about one-haIf of her hull being on
shore, while the other half is overhanging
deep water.
1t has been found that the portion Of
the ship on shore can be raised without
much difficulty. but the overhang creates
a problem, as it causes q balance or
leverage which interferes with the work
on that part of the hull ashore. To meet
this it is now proposed to adopt an
engineering scheme on considerably
broader lines than the usual wrecking
devices.
1t will embrace system of air bags
and pontoons foated underneath the
overhang and gradually buoying it up
ward until the strain on the shore end of
the hull is relieved. In this way it is
hoped that the work of raising can pro-
coed on the overriding and shore sinful
taneously and that the big steel hull
thus can be brought to an even keel and
hoated.
The department probably will execute
the enlarged wrecking projects at once.
The original plan left the wrecking
largely with the company which took the
contract on per diem arrangement.
that the Wreokers We're Proceeding ss With
ell due despatch. The work is likely to
remain in the hands of the wreckers, they
supplying the apparatus for the enlarged
engineering operations proposed by the
naval constructors.
