WASHINGTON July 25.-The war
department was busy to-day hurrylng
the dispatch OF the remainder OF Miles
expedition against Porto Rico. Such
progress has been made that It Is hoped
all Of the troops Will be on Porto Rican
soil within week at the latest. General
Miles Is not expected to defer his land
ings until that time, but. presumably,
Will pick out a suitable place for en-
camping his troops and establish him
self ashore. awaiting the arrival OF the
other detachmeHts now on their way.
War department officials expect that the
first news received from General Miles
will come through the press dispatches,
as the general has not with him, so far
as is known. any dispatch boats II will
be at least Saturday before direct cable
communication can be established Win
him, and in the meantime reliance must
be had on the dispatch boats running
across to st. Thomas, distant about four
hours run.
It was expected at the department that
General Brooke and General Haines
would sail to-day from Newport News
to Join Miles, and that most Of General
Brooke's command would be disembark-
ed by "wednesday. The work OF em-
barltabion at Hampton Roads is being
conducted with much less difficulty and
delay than was expected. Col. Hecker.
in charge Of the transportation division
Of the war department, who has Just re-
turned from that place, has reported to
Secretary Alger that It is eninently
suited TO the shipment OF the troops.
Consequently, the secretary to-day or
dered all Of General Grants brigade,
1900 men, from Chickamauga to New
port News. It is not expected that all
Of the transports required for their ac-'
commodatIon will have arrived there by
the time the soldiers get in, but they
will be encamped on suitable ground
there, and 1t Is believed, will be bene-
fitted by the change from Chicka-
mauga.
The signal service has succeeded In re-
claiming from the battlefield of Santl-
ago the tubes which supplied the mill
tary balloon with pure hydrogen gas,
and they, with the balloon itself. have
been brought to Tampa on the steamer
Adria. The tubes Will be recharEed I'M
mediately, and the whole apparatus Will
be dispatched at once to Porto Rico, TO
assist General Niles in his campaign
there. The balloon Is said to have proved
Of great value In the Santiago campaign
and from the character Of the country
In Porto Rico where military operations
must be conducted, It Is believed that
Il also can be used to advantage there.
