MOVEMENT FROM
 CAMP THOMAS PlanSAre Progressing and Trans portation Being Hurried. TIE EXPEDITIONARY FORGE May Come From chckamauga in Its Entirety, Taking Thirty Thousand Soldiers Advices Are Expected From
 Washington City.
TIE EXPEDITlONARY FORGE

Chickamauga National Park, July 20.- Gen. Brooke, who went to Washington to confer with Secretary Alger on the pro- posed Porto Rican expedition, returned to camp at 10 o'clock this morning.
 Gen. Brooke declined to be interviewed.
 The plans of an important movement from Camp Thomas, however, is progress ing. Col. Lee was in consultation with a number of railroad men this afternoon hurrying as rapidly as possible the nego- tiation for transportation
 It is learned that it is the desire of Gen Brooke that the entire first corps from the expeditionary force go from here This would mean the departing from Chcka- mauga of about 30,000 men.
 Advices are expected from Washington at once and upon their receipt 1t is probable that immediate orders will be issued to be- gin the movement. There Is still some question as to whether the corps will go as organized.
 Col Hartstaff, chief surgeon said today that the medical department of the hrst corps had all the supplies of every nature necessary for the expedition about to be entered upon. The troops that go out, added Col. Hartsuff, will go equipped com pletely, not lacking in any essential feat ure.
 Col Rockwell handed out for distribution in the first and second divisions eooeVo rounds of ball cartridges.

achievement to be attained. no less glorious and far reaching, namely: the obllteration of all traces of distrust among ourselves and the complete and too long delayed uni- fication of the American people, which shall be called in question e more forever"
 Oration of the Day
 The oration of the day was delivered by General Charles E. Hooker, of Mississippi. He was introduced by General Gordon. He said that when the surrender was made the Confederate soldiers separated with arms in their hands. He said 1t was equalization, the Confederates being permitted to depart in peace, unmolested so long as they ob- served their parole.
 There is not one Confederate but has kept the terms of his capitulation," said the speaker.
 Referring to the surrender at Appomat- tox, General Hooker stated that some of the federal soldiers desired to fire a salute in honor of the victory. Everything was in readiness for the salute, when General Grant, learning of it. said: Stop that fir ing. We have no great victory to be proud of, for we have been four years capturing these 5000 men who have laid down their arms "
 General Hooker was one of the counsel appointed by the state of Mississippi to de- fend Jefferson Davis when he was charged with treason. He spoke feeelingly of the way in which the president of the Confed- eracy, with supreme abnegation, took upon himself the sins of all his people. Only one reason, said the general, could be assigned for the failure to try President Davis. His prosecutors knew he was not guilty They knew his allegiance was first due to his state, and a loyal citizen of Miss issippi when she seeded, it was his duty to espouse her cause.
 Gen. Joe Wheeler
 In commenting on the fact that the South's representatives were taking a prominent part in the war with Spain he took occasion to attest to the bravery and gallantry of Gen. Wheeler.
 ''They may beat him for congress in Ala baIna," said the speaker. They'll never do it." shouted chorus of voices from the audience. '"rhey may beat him for congress in Ala bama" continued the speaker, but we will erect magnificent monument to him. Gen. Hooker referred in the course of his remarks to the fact that at the graves of Confederates in the national cemetery at Arlington were headstones bearing the in- scription Rebel" He told of a visit to the cemetary with some ladies who said 1t was an outrage that such thing should be.
 Tt is eminently proper,'' said the general to them, that these poor boys who wore the ragged Confederate ccat of gray should be buried here the ground which be- longed to the second greatest rebel this country has ever produced Robert b. Lee: George Washington being the first. Yes. they were rebels-rebelled against what they believed was wrong and asserted what they thought was right" The chairman announced that commit- tee on resolutions would be announced to- morrow and each state was requested to send in name.

NO DISSATISFACTION
 AMONG THE CUBANS

Washington, July 20.-Senor Quesada and other representatives of the Cuban junta have been in consultation with officers of the war department today.
 The United States officials were assured there was no dissatisfaction with the man. agement of affairs in Cuba so far as the Cuban representatives were concerned, and that if General Garcia and other Cubans operating about Santiago were not in har- mony with the authorities there it arose from a misunderstanding of the presidents was stated, probably thought that the ac- ton of General Shafter meant the contin- uation of Spanish rule and Spanish authori- ty. It being well understood here that such was not the case it was the belief of the Cuban representatives that when the matter was made plain to the Cubans in the filed they would acquiesce and accord the American army hearty support.
 The Cuban officials assured the officials of the war department that nothing was further from their desires than a rupture with the United States. It also became known that the junta had sent dispatch to Garcia and other officers that their course at Santiago was approved by the junta, and if he resisted it would result in serious injury to the Cubans. It is be- lieved that the representations made will bring about a better understanding among the Cuban officers and Americans The opinion was expressed at the war depart ment that the better class of Cubans will have no sympathy for those who would bring about trouble but that 1t is the lower classes who desire to loot and plum der the city.
