 It was announced sem-officially yester- day that Brigadier General Otis had ap- pointed Captain Murphy, son Of United States Senator Murphy of New York, ad- jutant general of the brigade. Captain A. w. Kimball, son of Colonel Amos s. Kim ball, U. S. A., formerly chief QuartermaS- ter of the Department of California and at present depot quartermaster, New York city, has been selected brigade quartermaster. General Otis is surely calling to his assistance some of the ablest young officers in the service. With such gallant troops and excellent officers the Fourth Brigade should make a fine record at the front.

The confession of Professor George

of logic and moral PHILOSOPHY of La
fayette College, that he was the author
of the fire which recently destroyed
Pardee Hall, and also of various other
acts of desecrationiand malicious mis-
chief whichshave ,been charged to the
students of Fthe, college, is an acknowl-
edgment ofia degree of moral wicked
ness rarely found in the most de-
PRAYED members of our civilization.
1t is all the tmore remarkable, COM
ments the Nrenton IN. J.) American,
that one enjoying such opportunities
for self-cuHures should give himself up
SO entirely toSShis thirst for revenge
for an injury which he brought upon
himself by his ssown imprudent acts
He takes rank .wAth the monstrosltles
of crime which have disgraced our

The war has not thus far produced

The war has not thus far produced
much novel caricature, the caricatur-
lists being satisfied for the most part
with the old types-and this, too, al
though there is some complaint of
them, says the New York Post. A
few critics have appeared who declare
that there is not sufficient correspon-
dence between the type and what it
typifes. John Bull, for instance, it
is said, might well enough two gen
erations ago have been regularly set
before us as burly, red-cheeked far
mer, and in the days when the
american Cousin" made'the fortune
of a theatre, the United States might
fairly have been !caricatured as long,
lank, lantern -jawed Yankee whittier;
but in these days John Bull and we
have become more cosmopolitan,
and both countries should endeavor
to introduce new caricature type
which would be mores"up to date.

The assignment of Commodore John
Crittenden Watson to the command of
the Eastern Squadron brings before
the public another graduate of Adj
miral Farragut's school of naval war
fare. The Commodore was flag lieu
tenant on the Hartford at the battle of
Mobile Bay, and it was he who lashed
the Admiral to the rigging after the
bluff old hero had refused to take a
less exposed position. Rear-Admiral
Dewey received his first practical
instruction under Farragut, and the
tactics of Mobile Bay won for him and
for American arms enduring fame in
Manila Bay thirtyfour years later.

Human nature crops out in the
circles of domesticspeace or war quite
as often and as typically as it does
down on the swelteHing battletields of
Cuba. A dressmaker who sued a GUS
toner for 81 furnished a pleasing ex-
ample of this in police, court in New
York City. The customer swore be
fore more or less patient Magistrate
that the garment which was appraised
at So made iher look like fright, and
that she could not conscientiously
give up her good money,for such poor
work. The dressmaker,l j however, de-
manded So, andswould not take any
thing else. ThelMagistrate thereupon
invented ''the municipal fund for the
settlementiof strange cases" and paid
the money out ,of his own pocket.
When the dressmaker found out that
there was no such fund she returned
the money with ,the announcement
that she had an abundance of it. She
simply did not wish another woman t(
"get the bestsof her." That is the
glorious spirit (which wins victories IL

destined for Porto Rico, will proceed 10
the landing place agreed upon under
convoy of Admiral SIMPSONS vessels.
Upon their arrival a landing will be
effected under the guns of the Warships.
Large forces will be hurried to Porto
Rico from the United States. The
troops at Charleston, which have been
ready to leave for several days, are
under orders to start at once. Unless
delays that are now unexpected should
occur, all of the troops Will have en-
barked before sundown today.

A Baiquiri (Cuba) iron mine,
abandoned since the insurrection be-
gan, is again scene of activity. This
is an impressive lesson. 1t shows, of
course, the confidence of the iron
masters in the United States and in
the United States Army. The mine
owners know that the invasion of
Cuba will take no backward step, and
that when the mine is once within the
American lines they can be assured OF
producing their ore in tranquility and
order forovermore. Thus the renewal
of the swing of the pickaxe in this
mine is a more eloquent tribute to the
discipline, gallantry and prowess OF
our army than volume of newspaper
dispatches.

There are two reasons for this, first the

Washington, July 19.-The details of
the Porto Rican expedition were per-
fected Monday, and the expedition itself
was gotten under way, General Miles,
who is to command ii. calling with some
artillery and troops tor Porto Rico on
the Yale, to be followed quickly by an
army of about 10000 men. There are
notable differences between the plans
for this expedition and those for the
stately pageant that sailed away from
Tampa to attack Santiago. First, there
will be practically no naval conveys.
They are unnecessary, for there is not
a Spanish Warshp in the West Indies
that dare thrust its bow out of port,
In the second place the expedition does
not start from one point, but will be dl-
Vided among several ports, thus pre-
venting the tremendous congestion en-
countered at Tampa in the effort to
start the big fleet. Lastly, there will be
no effort made to get the ships away to-
gether, but the transports will be al
lowed to find their own way to their
destination without concerted move
ments.
General Brooke will be the senior Of
fcer in Miles command, and upon him
will fall the responsibility for the exc
cution of the details of his superiOr's S
plans. Porto Rico is 800 miles from
Siboney. General Miles should arrive
by Wednesday night at the point select
ed for the landing, where he will hoist
the American flag over Porto Rican soil.
The point is kept secret, as the general
will land before the full body of the eX-
pedition is at hand and it is not desir-
able that the enemy should be able to
assemble a superior force to meet him
The distance from Charleston, where
| the first body of troops for Miles eX-
pedition was to start, is more than
double the distance from Santiago tC
Porto Rico, so that the transports which
sail from the former city can scarcely
reach Miles before the early part of neXt
week. The Charleston troops are the
first brigade of the first division of the
First army corps, and are commanded
by Brigadier General Ernst The brigade
comprises the Second Wisconsin, ThnC
Wisconsin and Sixteenth PENNSYLVANIA
regiments.
The purpose of Secretary Alger is tC
make the Porto Rican campaign a shor
one. An overwhelming force will b
thrown upon the island, and it is possible
that bloodless victory will be achieved
when the Spanish become convinced tina
they have not reasonable chance t,

to be $500 was stolen either Sunday
night or Monday morning. Three regu-

The money belonged for the most part

alarm of the theft had been given guards
completely surrounded the fort. and no.
body was allowed to leave until his in

one of the most important and most
practical problems with which it will
be necessary to deal is that of the treat
ment of property and the collection and
administration of the revenues. 1t is
conceded that all public funds and Sc
curities belonging to the government of
the country in its own right, and all
arms and supplies and other movable
property of such government may be
seized by the military occupant and
converted to his own use. The real
property of the state he may hold and
administer at the same time enioyins
the revenue thereof, but he is not to de-
stroy it save in the case of military
necessity. All public means of trans
portatiOn, such as telegraph lines.
cables, railways and boats belonging to
the state may be appropriated to his
use, but unless in case of military neces-
sity they are not to be destroyed
All churches and buildings devoted to
religious worship and to the arts and
sciences, all sChoOlhouses are, so far as
/ possible, to be protected, and all de-
struction or intentional DETACHMENT of
such places, of historical monuments OF
archives, or of works of science, or art
is prohibited, save when required by
urgent military necessity. Private
property, whether belonging to indi-
viduals or corporations. is to be re.
spected, and can be confiscated only as
hereafter indicated. Means of trans.
portation, such as telegraph lines and
cables, railways and boats may, al.
though they belong to private indi-
Viduals or corporations, be seized by the
military occupant, but unless destroyed
under military necessity, are not to be
retained.
