Washington. June 1S.-The original
plans Of the campaign Of the war
against Spain will be adhered to, and
will be pushed with vigor. That de-
cision was reached at a war council
to-day, at which were present Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries Alger and
Long, General Miles, Assistant Secre-
tary Malkeljohn, Admiral Sicard and
Captain Mahan.
OF course there will be some slight
notifications made necessary by the
changes that have occurred since the
beginning Of hOstilities, but these, after
all, will not affect the general plan Of
operations. General Miles returned
from Florida with store of informa-
tion respecting the condition Of the
troops, difficulties to be explained in
progress of the campaign and the mat
ter of transportation and terminal fa-
cilities will be freely avalled OF to cor
rect the defects In the present system.
The stories that there has been fric-
ton between General Miles and his Of
hcial superiors are pronounced to be
absurd, and to-day the proceedings
gave ample evidence of the fact that
the utmost harmony charncterizes the
relations between the chief executive
and the military branch of the gov
ernment.
The official declaration that the cam
paign is to be pushed with vigor does
not necessarily mean nm immediate at
tack upon Havana, although such ad-
vice hns been rendered. 1t does mean
that the very best efforts are to he put
forth to put the army in condition
where 1t can be used with ovcrwhclm-
ing effect at any point. Mt almost Il
moments notice. To this end the
troops now In camp are to be thorough
ly trained and hardened. With such
mn army Mt command. numbering no
less than 100000. the fate of Havana
cannot long remain IN doubt when once
the army Is hurled upon it.
Meanwhile. the smaller expedition
ary movements are to go forward I'M

work there will he pushed on to Porto
