NAVY IS ASSISTING ACTIVELY
Officials Sending the Orders

Active Land Campaign Cannot
Commence Before the End
Of the Week.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-It is calcu.
lated at the war department that Gen.
eral Miles has arrived at the point on
the coast Of Porto Rico selected as the
rendezvous for all the vessels of the ex.
pedition. Whether or not he will un.
dertake to make landing in advance
of the arrival Of the whole expedition
probably will depend entirely upon
conditions as he finds them. Should
there be no Spanish force, or at least an
inconsiderable one on the coast, the
troops will be landed to relieve them
from the disastrous effects of being
confined closely on shipboard under a
tropical sun. The general has with
him sufficient artillery to hold any po-
sition he may choose to occupy. supple.
mented, as this artillery will be, by the
guns Of the convoy. Meantime the de.
partment is making every effort to
hurry along the remainder of the ex.
pedition. Some troops are now on their
way from Tampa and Charleston and
should reach Porto Rico by the middle
of the week.
Naval Onioials Are Assisting
actively in getting the troops off and
were engaged during the day in send
ing the necessary orders to that end to
the commanders of the auxiliary naval
vessels which have been placed at the
service of the war department.. In the
course of day or two the troops
brought from Chickamauga by Gen.
eral Brooke will sail from Hampton
Roads, where they have been arriving
all day and are ready for the trans.
ports. There is possibility that Gen.
eral Miles may be delayed for several
days in his landing operations for lack
Of lighters, but several of these are
now on their way and others viii be
hurried forward as rapidly as possible.
However, it may be as to his speedy
landing on Porto Rico soil it will be
well along towards the end of this
week, before the active land campaign
can be begun in Porto Rico.
