ON TO PORTO RICO At ONCE.
Gen. Miles Sailed From Santiago
With the Vanguard.
10000 TROOPS TO FOLLOW
Transports VIII Sail az Rapidly as They
Can be Loaded - ChiciSamsuga to
Furnish "a Large Forcc-A short and
Vigorous Campaign Expected.

Washington: After three days con-
sultation between President Mckinley,
Secretary Alger and Maj.-Gen. Brooke,
during which there was frequent com
munication with Gen. Miles at Siboney.
the details of the Porto Rican expedi-
ton were perfected and the expedition
itself was gotten under way Gen.
Miles with some artillery and troops
sailing from Santiago fer Porto Rico
on the auxiliary cruiser Yale, to be fol-
lowed quickly by an army of about
10000 men. The same day Gen. Miles
sailed from Santiago three regiments
of volunteers embarked at Charleston,
S. c., for Porto Rico and others will
follow from various ports as rapidly as
transports can be provided and made
ready for the journey.
Maj Gen. Brooke will be the senior
officer in Miles command and upon
him will fall the responsibility for the
execution of the details of his superiors
plans.
The part which the navy is to take
in the assault against Porto Rico has
been fully matured. The several trans
port fleets will have with them one or
two auxiliary craft carrying strong
secondary batteries. Secretary Long
said that no time had been fixed for
the departure of Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet for San Juan. AS to the naval
plans he would only say that they
would cooperate in every way with
the movements of the army. The
movement of the ships from Santiago
to their new fields of action will be-
gin at once, and it is probable that
some of Admiral SIMPSONS ships were
detached and proceeded with Gen.
Miles first expedition toward Porto
Rico. They will be needed TO cover
the debarkation of the troops on Porto
Rican soil. The others will follow as
soon as the full army expedition is
ready to make a landing, when the at
tack will begin simultaneously from
land and sea.
The purpose of Secretary Alger is to
make the Porto Rican campaign short
one. An overwhelming force viii be
thrown upon the island, and it is ex-
pected that the Spanish will soon be-
come convinced That they nave no reaS-
enable chance to resist successfully.
The expedition is to comprise 10000
men at the start, and it will be swelled
soon to 10000 men, and if necessary to
10000 men, the equipment of the vol
unteer forces having now progressed so
well as to warrant the statement that
that number of men can be ready for
service in Porto Rico in short time
The preparations are to be more COM
plete and ample than have ever before
been made by any government in any
enterprise of similar nature. Ships
and men, hospitals and supplies, doe
tors and nurses, ammunition and pro-
vender artillery and fittings, all are
to receive such care as to make the en-
terprise swift and deadly one for
Spanish hopes in the remaining island
of the West Indies dominated bv Spain

yellow Fever Among American Troops.


The dreaded yellow fever has found
foothold among the United States
forces before Santiago, and while the
authorities at Washington and at the
front are naturally alarmed they are
taking every precaution TO stamp il
out and prevent its spread and express
confidence in their ability TO obviate a
serious epidemic. The II cases which
were first discovered in the field hos.
pital at Siboney were immediately
isolated in hospital which had been
established by DIR. John Guiteras, the
famous yellow fever expert, for just
such an emergency. This hospital is in
charge of immune surgeons and nurses.
The first IA cases were all from the
quartermasters observation-disclosures
and others-but later cases have ap-
peared among the troops nearest the
coast. All cases are mild, however.
AS a further precaution the little
town of Juraguacito (Siboney), where
the field hospital is located, was burned
under the orders of the army health
authorities. Almost every building of
the so along the irregular bluff was
set fire to during the day and the Gu
ban inhabitants fled TO the caves in the
overhanging hillside for shelter. The
action was taken at the urgent request
of the hospital corps, and served to
rid the hospital camp of the unhealthy
and dirty buildings and drive away
scores of Cuban followers whose pres
ence was n serious inconvenience to
the hospital workers.
There are several kinds of fevers in
Cuba, all of which are classed gener-
ally as malaria unless the decided
sym ptoms of yellow jack show them
selves. Army medical officers say that
in the Cuban climate yellow fever is not
necessarily a deadly plague. Indeed
they claim that typhoid and malarial
fevers are worse; that with proper
tents, nurses and medicines, soldiers
will GO through the fever with little
if any loss.
Everything needed to bring that
army through all right will be sent"
said Secretary Alger. Large, comfort
eipAN NNhNp' lANhbN Va Nplos dlADlt CAIi
clothing, nurses, medicine and doctors
will be taken down by special ship.
Camps will be pitched for different
commands upon the highest, ARREST
land to be reached. Patients will be
segregated And as fast as command
has been there a certain number of days
without developing a case it will be
taken off the island and transferred TO
a more salubrious climate in the United
States, where the soldiers can soon
recuperate from their terrible exer-
tions.
So far, cases among the troops have
been very mild and they say that
yellow fever often runs that way in
Cuba. In fact the natives have very
little fear of it. BY the system pro-
posed by Secretary Alger, with perhaps
a further detention station at Dry
Tortugas, it is expected that the
volunteers will be withdrawn from
Santiago without much if any loss and
their places taken by the immune
regiments.

Michigan omcers Have Yellow Fever.

Washington: There was q rumor
afoat that Brig. Gen. Duffield, of Mich
igan, was one of the victims of yellow
fever at Santiago, but no official infor
nation was obtainable.
The transport City of Washington
which has arrived at Fort Monroe, Va,
with wounded from Santiago, brings
confirmation of the news of the APP
pearance of yellow fever at Siboney
and officers on board report that Maj.
Merrill f. Webb, of the SD Michigan
volunteers, was among the first cases.
Burr Mcintosh, well-known actor and
correspondent, was an early case. Two
eases developed on the City of Wash
ing'on on the trip north, Stephen
Crane. famous novelist and correspond
emit being one.
Later dispatches say Gen. Dufiield is
suffering from malarial fever and is
recovering. He is still commanding at
Siboney in the place of the Gen.
Young, who is sick and on his way
home.
The cases of Maj Webb and the other
Michigan men who have yellow fever
developed about July a. Others have
been discovered since. The Michigan
boys were the only troops left to guard
the base of supplies at Siboney during
the fighting at Santiago and it was
while on this duty they became in
fected.
The following dispatch has been re-
ieived from Santiago: "Gen. Dufiield

THE HOUSE FOR WAR.
Passes Resolution by Vote of 322 to
10 Demanding Immediate In
PREVENTION I'm Cuba.

Washington, April 1.-THE house of
representatives Wednesday, after one
of the most exciting and memorable
days in its history, by vote of 322 to
10, adopted resolution which nine
tenths of its members believe makes
war with Spain inevitable. 1t is fact
which was grimly commented upon by
members as they spoke of the future,
that every war in which the United
States has engaged began in April, and
that Wednesday was the anniversary of
the fall of Fort Sumter, which aroused
the patriotic fervor of the north and
made the four years of civil strife GER
tainty.
At 1870 p. m. the majority of the
house committee on foreign affairs
agreed to the following resolution,
which was reported to the house
Wednesday afternoon:
Whereas, That the government of Spain
for three years past has been waging war
on the island of Cuba against revolu-
ton of the inhabitants thereof, without
making any substantial progress toward
the suppression of said revolution, and
has conducted the warfare in a man
ner contrary to the laws of nations py
methods inhuman and uncivilized, causing
the death by starvation of more than
200 600 innocent non-combatants, the VIC
TINS being for the most part helpless wom-
en- and children, inflicting intolerable in
jury to the commercial interests of the
United States, involving the destruction
of the lives and property of many of our

lions of dollars in patrolling our coasts and

Trade Is Quiet.

New York, April 16.-Bradstreet's
says:
THE effect of the prevailing uncertainty
in foreign affairs is reflected in a further
perceptible quieting down of general trade
so far as future enga gements are con-
cerned, in nearly 81 parts of the country.
While there is a little more activity to be
noted in the demand for seasonable staples
at the west and northwest, where better
weather. has helped retail and wholesale
trade alike, rather more quiet is reported
al the east and at the South Atlantic and
gulf ports The least notable effects yet
exhibited are found in the central west,
where distributive demand and movement
is reported of seasonable character, the
only changes noted, in fact, being the
Strengthening of money rates and the dis
coura gement of new enterprises, such as
railroad building. In the iron trade bust
ness continues of large volume. Wool con-
tinues dull, at nominal prices, at the east
and the activity in dry goods is confined
chiefly to goods needed at once. Cotton
goods prices are steady, except for print
cloths. Low-price woolens continue in
most active demand :"

tors who addressed the senate rose to
and surpassed their previous efforts.
The debate, beginning at the unusu-
ally early hour of ten o'clock, contin-
ued until far into the night, and yet the
throngs remained as if held under some
spell. During the day speeches were de-
livered by Senators Cullom Qll.), Berry
(Ark.), Daniel (Va.), Tillman IS. CO.,
Wolcott (Col.), Spooner wis.,, Chiffon
(Tex.), Teller (Col.) and Stewart New.
A sensational incident, not really
growing out of the debate upon the
pending question, occurred at 9:25 at
night. In a personal squabble over the
recent trip made by Senator Money
(Niiss.) to Cuba, between him and Sem
stor Wellington (Md), Senator We'll
lington charged Senator Money with
speaking in the senate as the agent of
a New York newspaper.
Senator Money was on his feet in an
instant with the remark that the state
ment was false.
II make the remark as the paper gave
it, again retorted Senator Wellington,
doggedly.
Then make it on your own response
bility," said Senator Money, his whole
frame quivering with suppressed emo
ton, his arm outstretched defantly to-
ward the senator from Maryland.
Il do make it on my own responsible
ity," replied Senator Wellington.
Then you lie.' came from the Missis-
sippi senator.
Senator Wilson CWash.) broke the ten
sion by stepping forward into the CEN
ter aisle and asking, in bland voice,
Whether a declaration of war would
be in order" The senators and galleries
laughed heartily at this sally, and
meantime friends of the bellicose sem
ators surrounded them and led them
away into the cloak rooms.
A few minutes afterwards, subse-
quent to the adoption of the Jones'
agreement, Senator Money emerged
from the cloakroom, and, amid an inn
pressive silence, said: "Mr. President,
desire to say that under strong prov
ocation I used language which was not
parliamentary. Nothing could be far
Their from my intention than to violate
the decorum of the senate or to break
any of its rules. therefore desire 10
apologize to the senate for the language
which should not have used in its pres
ence." The galleries applauded this ut
terance, and the incident closed.
At the conclusion of Senator Stew
arts speech the senate, on motion of
Senator Davis, adjourned to 10:45.
