The Porto Rican junta in the U. S.

Gen. Shafter reports that the condi-

improving and that all are located in
comfortable camps where they can rest

Gen. Wood, of the Rough Riders, has
been appointed military governor of
Santiago succeeding Gen. McKibbin,

A Kingston, Jamaica, dispatch says:
"Cubans arriving from Siboney bring

They make mystery of it, and give

Prominent Spanish refugees believe it.
U. S. surgeons at Santiago report
that there are only about 300 mild
cases of yellow fever among the
American troops and deaths are few.
Gen. Miles reported that he believes
that the danger from the pest is over

IL owing to the mildncss of the cases.

1t is altogether likely that the out

placed upon the high attitudes sur
rounding Santiago, where it is said the
fever can be easily combated. None

MILES MOVES ON PORT RICO.
Troops Being fastened Forward
to Re-enforce Him.
MAJ.-GEN. BROOKE HAS GONE.
Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery Sail from
Santiago, Charleston, Newport News
and Tampa and Strong Naval Force
Goes to Attack the spanish by Sea.

Gen. Miles was delayed two days in
getting away from Guantanamo har-
Dor. but his Porto Rico expedition was
in good shape when it did get away.
The cruisers Columbia and Yale car
ried four light batteries OF the Third
and Fourth artillery; Lomic's battery
B, Fifth artillery; the Sixth Illinois,
Sixth Massachusetts, 275 recruits for
Fifth corps, 60 men of signal corps and
Seventh hospital corps, 3,4l5 men all
told. The expedition was conveyed by
the Massachusetts, Cincinnati, New
Orleans, Dixie, Annapolis, Wasp, Ley
den and Gloucester. At the same time
the powerful monitors Terror, Amphi-
tritc and Puritan were ordered to sail
from Key West to assist in the taking
of Porto Rico.
Before Gen. Miles had left Guantan-
amo the transports Grand Duchess, No.
80 and No. 81 sailed from Charleston,
S. c., with Gen. Wilson's brigade con-
sisting of the Second and Third Wis
consin and 10th Pennsylvania, besides
two companies of the Sixth Illinois,
LOCO mules and wagons. From Tampa
sailed the transports Arkadia, Whit
ney, Miller, Flotilda, Cherokee and
Mohawk with Gen. Schwan's head
quarters, with two light batteries of
the Seventh artillery, one troop Second
cavalry, 18th and 10th u. S. infantry,
two sections of the general pack train,
about 600 pack animals, the brigade
ambulance train and Red Cross am
balances.
Three regiments-the Fourth Ohio,
Third Illinois and Fourth Pennsylva-
mia, composing the Second brigade,
First division, First corps, commanded
by Brighten. Haines, were the next
troops to leave Camp Thomas, and they
went to Newport News, Va, to embark
from that point, and were followed by
four batteries Of light artillery: Bat
terry A, Illinois; battery A, Missouri;
battery b, Pennsylvania. and the 27th
Indiana battery. Each of the four
batteries have six guns, 100 horses and
mules and from 40 TO 175 officers and
men.
The departure of Ma. Zen. Brooke
and his entire staff from Camp Thomas
for Newport News aroused intense en-
thusiasm in the camp as the boys saw
in their commanders going good pros
poets of early activities, and that is
what all of the boys are hoping for.
Gen. Brooke and his staff were dressed
in their new khnrki uniforms and they
made most impressive display as they
entered the special train. The excite
ment at the park was great and every
soldier who could get away from his
camp was at the depot to see them off.
When the train pulled out of the little
station rousing cheer went up that
resounded throughout the entire camp
and was echoed from thousands of
throats.
BY the time Gen. Brooke reached
Newport News five troops of cavalry
had arrived from Camp Alger, as fol-
lows: Troops A and C, New York, and
troops A, Il and c, Pennsylvania

Many Tax Titles Invalid.

The supreme court decision in the
Hughes-Jordan case is likely to spread
CONSERVATION among tax title dealers
The court holds that the auditor-gen-
eral cannot convey good title from
the state to lands upon which taxes
remain a lien whether they have
been returned to his Office as de-
linquent or not. The auditor-gen-
eral, it is held, must require
evidence of the payment of all
taxes which have become a lien upon
the property before he can issue a
deed, and as this requirement of the
law has not always been strictly com
piled with, there are undoubtedly
many invalid titles outstanding.

shafter,s Reply to Garcia.

Gen. Shafter has written very
courteous and temperate letter in re-
ply to Gen. Garia's letter of complaint
which announced the refusal of the
Cubans to further cooperate with Gen.
Shafter. The latter expresses regret
at the action of Garcia; declares that
he did invite the Cuban leader to at
tend the surrender of Santiago; points
out that as the war is between the
u. 5. and Spain the Cuban forces had
no connection with the surrender;
sends copies of his instructions from
Washington to show that he is follow
ing them in retaining temporarily in
power the persons holding civil Office
in Santiago. Gen. Shafter closes by
assuring Gen. Garcia that full credit
has been given him and his valiant
men" in his reports to Washington.
