no DELAY, SAYS SAMPSON.
SHIPS SENT TO CONVOY MILESS PORTO
RICAN EXPEDITION.

Washington, July 2l-Concernng the naval
convoys Of General Miless expedition from Cuba
to Porto Rico the Navy Department tonight
made public the following statement:
admiral Sampson telegraphs this afternoon
to the Secretary of the Navy that there has
been no delay in furnishing ample convoy TO
General Miles. \ day two ago the Cincinnati
and the New-Orleans were both placed at his
disposal The Columbia and the Yale carrying
troops. are both powerfully armed says the
Admrars telegram. and this is an ample con-
voy for his expedition and to effect his landing.
THE Annapolis the Wasp and the Leyden
had been ordered from Nipe the Gloucester also
added and the three monitors ordered from
Key West. Under these circumstances there
certainly has been no lack OF naval assistance
II General Miles preferred 90 wait. the delay
was his own. However, in further answer to
his request the Massachusetts and the Dixie
were also added this morning, and he has prob
ably started"
This statement shows that General Miles will
be backed in effectng his landing on Porto
Rcan soil by strong squadron Of the Navy. In
addition 10 the vessels named in the statement
II is officially admitted for the first time that the
powerful monitors Terror Amphitrite and Puri-
tan. which have been at Key West are under
orders to proceed TO Porto Rico 10 assist in the
reduction Of the Spanish forts there
1t Is known also to be not unlikely-indeed. II
is probable-that still other vessels of Admiral
Simpsons fleet will participate in the reduc-
ton of the fortincations of san Juan. This was
indicated clearly by Secretary Longs statement
this afternoon concerning the sailing of Com
modore Watsons Eastern Squadron to Spain.
In the course OF that statement the Secretary
said the Eastern Squadron would be sent to
Spain later. when the Porto Rican campaign
permits" 1t seems clear that some, at least OF
the vessels will be employed in the lombard

are provided with Mauser rifles and have two
field pieces. and they are gradually forcing the

the rebels are unab BILE TO obtain better.

rebels attempted that and the day after to

CRISIS IMMINENT IN SPAIN.

Bayonne. France July 2l-A dispatch received
here from Madrid. dated yesterday, says the
police searched several Carllst houses the prev-
Gus evening and adds that the Government IL
satisfied Of the existence OF widespread Carlist
plot. Consequently the Carlist newspapers Will
proba bly, be suppressed Continuing, the Madrid
dispatch says:
"In spite Of the denals of the Minister'S every
thing points to the mnnence OF crisis II
is believed General Poaveia Will become Min
lister for War In a national Cabinet when the
condition of affairs seems TO call for.
"As General Weyler has immense prestige
among the Spanish officers. especially among
those returning from cuba, It ls regarded as
probable, IL n national Ministry Is formed. that
his assistance will be invited.
The Government has prohibited the publica-
ton OF news of the movements of Spanish war
ships and therefore the whereabouts or Ad-
r,iral Camara's fleet is not known. 1t was last
reported at Port MahOn."

For instance the Madrid correspondent OF THE

''The Government continues to receive from
civil and military authorities in many provinces
alarming information as to Carst preparations.
Arms and ammunition have been introduced
by many mountain passes into Navarro Ara
gon and Catalonia it is supposed with the con-
nivance of the local authorities on both sides
Of the frontier"
"The Carist agents and leaders know that
they can act with a certain amount or I'M
punity because so long the Pretender and
his representatives and newspapers in Madrid
patrotlcally disclaim all intention OF disturbing
the peace during the war with the United states
they feel certain that Sehor Sagasta and the
authorities will not dare arrest or molcst Car
lists They assume that Senior Sagasta cannot
afford to affront a large section Of the people
and risk civil war when his hands are so full.
"In some few places. however. the military

stronger measures will be taken If they persist
in agitation. The Carlists in Madrid say that
the first risings will occur in Western. Central
and Southern Spain. their ancient strongholds.

Spanish steamer. the Vesol. having on board a
native crew from the Niscayes Islands South
erners is now in the hands Of the insurgents.
The crew revoted. killed the Spanish officers
and reached Taayabao, in the southern part
of the Island of Luzon. But. there they quar-
relied with the Tagalon insurgents. and re-
turned to Iloilo. which is looked upon as ind-
eating that the Viscayes are unwilling to join
the Tagalons.
In any case it is considered certain that the
Philippine Islands will never be amalgamated,
and that they will never return TO Spanish rule.
Therefore, the only alternative. In the opinion
of the best informed people here, Is foreign rule,
American or British.
