MILES HAS ENOUGH TROOPS.

Advises That No More Soldiers Be
Sent TO Porto Rico.
Washington. Aug. 10.-The feature Of
yesterdays news of the war depart
ment was the cable from General Miles
stating that he did not need reinforce
ment and advising that no more troops
be sent to Porto Rico. The effect OF this
dispatch was to stop the embarkation
of troops at Newport News and to stop
General Wade'B corps from sailing. The
disposition of troops which are not now
needed for active service was consid-
cred at once by the department officials
and the determination was reached that
there would be q general movement
from the larger camps. Some OF these
troops viii be sent north where they
will be in a cooler climate and stationed
at camps which are under considera-
ton, but which have not yet been def
nitely selected.
Investigation OF a number OF places
are In progress with a special reference
to the health OF the camp and water
supply. 1T is believed by the authorities
that good water will go q long way
toward maintaining the healthfulness
Of the troops. Some regiments will be
removed at once. and those which can
not be moved probably will be ordered
to proceed upon practice marches. the
object being to scatter the troops as
much as possible and to receive the
several camps from the effect OF con-
centration-

ish owners That had not been seized
An attempt was made to seize the in
dispensable pony of the consular physi-
clan, and consi~ cradle indignation has
been expressed. There may possibly be
some trouble over It,
1t is alleged in a dispatch officially
published here that Germany is com
bining with Russia to prevent the cap
ture of Manila, and that, therefore,
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
will refrain from attacking the city;
that the American resources are ex-
hausted; that Admiral Cervera, on is
suing from Santiago harbor, was vic
torious and captured Admiral Samp-
son, afterward bombarding American
ports; that the CherolIees and the ne
groes in the United States have re-
belled; that President Mckinley has
been mobbed: that Admiral Camara
is at Singapore, that he is going to land
in the south Philippines; that the allied
Spanish fleets Will annihiIate Admiral
Dewey, and, finally, that the climate is
decimating the American soldiers.
The rumor is current here that the
insurgents, fearful that peace will be
concluded between Washington and
Madrid, and that the Americans will
withdraw from the Philippines, are
consequently the more strenuous in their
desire and efforts to capture Manila

bardment, with heavy modern shells.

some names Of rank.

were killed. There was a frightful panic
inside the walls, women and children
shrieking and praying in their terror
the whole night through. One shot
caused 20 casualties at the Luneta bat
terry, another exploded at the Malate
barracks, killing five. The troops
turned out just in time to save Malate
fort and the magazine. The insurgents
showered large and small shots with
such precision that the garrison be-
heved the whole American army and
