FUTURE WAR OPERATIONS.
Watson's Fleet Will Not lombard Span
ish Cities nut Will Guard or De-
stroy Camarn's flcot.

Washington, July ga significant
statement was made to the Associated
Press to-day by Il gentleman in Il posi-
ton to speak with knowledge and author
ity as to the plans of the administration
with reference to future war operations.
In substance the statement was as fol-
lows:
commodore Watson in proceeding to
the Spanish peninsula as soon as the Por-
To Rican expedition is gotten under way,
Is not to lombard the cities on the Span
iSh coast No such idea of bombardment
of the coast is entertained. While there
may he other incidental purposes. the
main mission of Watson Is to take care
of Admiral Camara's fleet.
The movement OF this feet and the fears
and approximations caused by reports
concerning it are to be stopped for all
time. The ships under Camara will be To-
Gated by Watson and finally met and en-
gagged. The talk occasionally INDUCED in
as to the Canary Islands is utterly with
out foundation. This government has no
plan to take these islands and oes not
want them.
Despite popular expectation that Porto
Rico operations will he followed immediate
- by action against Havana. it can he
said that Havana will not be attacked
while yellow fever conditions exist. This
Is certain.

have never been elected at Santiago by
the residents of tho city. but were apoint-

II would agree. sir that the army under

any measure you may have deemed best
under American military law to hold the
city for your army and to preserve public

question arises of appointing authorities
in Santiago de Cuba, under the peculiar
circumstance of our thirty years strife
against Spanish rule, I can not see but
with the deepest regret that such authori-
ties are not elected by the Cuban people,
but are the same ones selected by the
Queen of Spain. and hence are ministers
to defend against the Cubans the Spanish
sovereignty.

VERMONTERS SANGUlNE
That They viii be Ordered to Porto Rico
Lieut.. Col. Mimms Will be in Com
maud-Sham Battle.

Chickalhauga Park, Ga, July 2l.--Idld
conjecture and rumors of a movement cor
ward by the First Vermont which have
been continually running throug the camp
have at length given place to prospects Of
some certainty. Your correspondent is in
position to state that the officers of the
regiment are now sanguine that the first
Vermont will form a part of the cXptdi-
tiCn against Porto Rico. The ground upon
which the hope IL based cannot, for OBJ
ViouS reasons be given, but the informa :
ton should not for that reason be received
with amy less credit. The news has hard
ly yet spread through the camp but so far
as 1t has penetrated 1t has been received
with deep satisfaction even by the most
timid and least belligcrcnt members of the
regiment. The dangers and hardsnips
which the change may entail are 50 re-
mote that they press lightly upon the i'm
agination. But the dull monotonous rou-
tine of camp life is a condition to be cs-
capped from ut any sacrifice.
In this connection some sgnflcation is
mutually attached to the fact that As more
mules and II wagons were added to the
equipment of the regiment this morning.
although the number before was wholly
adequate for camp work
COL Clark has been granted 30 days OK
tension Of leave because of pooy health.
He will return to Vermont. Lieut.. Col.
Mimms. who has practically had COM
mand of the regiment since its arrival at
Camp Thomas, will continue in command.
Dress parade was held for the NTH time
tonight and marked improvement was
apparent in the appearance of the regl-
mcnt.
The general health of the command con-
tinues to be good. There are Il few cases
of typhoid fever but sanitary measures
nave been taken to check any further
spread of the disease. Sinks will be NOV
cd and the drinking water is passed
/ through germ PROOF filters. Bowel COM
plants, the bane of the soldiers life, have
greatly decreased since this precaution
has been taken.
Another sham battle has been arranged
for tomorrow in which the Vermont reg
imcnt Is to meet suddenly with II greatly
superior force, making 1t necessary to fail
back and occupy the first available pos-
ton. An attempt will be made to hold
mis- against the enemy by means of hast
lily thrown up intrenchments. The OPP
ponents are to be the other two reg-
ments of the brigade. the Eighth New
York and Third Tennessee.
