CIsIVE CAMPAIGN LOOKED FOR.

Washington, July 16-It is said that
Gen Miles himself will command the
Porto Rican expedition, aided by Gen.
Brooke. The latter probably will
make all the arrangements necessary
at Washington and at Chickamauga,
as it is not the present intention Of
Gen. Miles to return to Washington be-
fore leaving for Porto Rico. 1t is ex-
pected that the campaign in Porto Rico
will be short and decisive. The troops
will be landed near San Juan with am
pie artillery, while the feet will attack
in front
Major General Brooke was in conference
several times to-day with Secretary AL
ger. The two went over to the White
House where questions relating presum-
ably to the Porto Rican expedition were
discussed. Secretary Alger and Gen.
Brooke declined absolutely to make any
statement.
In other quarters, however, there are
evidences that indicate activity in the
direction of preparation for prompt
forward movement. For instance, steps
are being taken to ascertain and deter
mine to the entire satisfaction of the
War Department officials the most avail
able points on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts from which to embark large num-
berS of men.

Selling the line which his skipper had thrown
out, pulled II aboard again.
The man. who had tried to drown himself,
but regretted his act as soon as he touched
the water, then grabbed the rope that was left
and was pulled on board the tugboat by Capt.
