His Army to BE SwelIed to over $4,000
Before the Assault ON San
Juan Is Begun.
WELL-PLANNED EXPEDITION
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY ANXIOUS THAT
THERE BE NO FAILURE.
Two Messages from General Miles,
One from the Mole ST. Nicholas Ask
ing for Tugs and Lighters.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 22.-General Miles
is expected to reach the vicinity of San
Juan, Porto Rico, tomorrow evening or
Sunday morning. He has with him 4,OO0
men. With these he will effect a landing
under the protection of naval vessels and
proceed to fortify against any possible at
tack by the enemy. The second expedition,
now two days sail from the United States,
should reach him by Monday with $500
more men. Other expeditions will land on
Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the
calculations of the War Office. additional
troops of all arms sufficient to swell his
forces TO 1900 men. Further expeditions
will follow SO that by the middle of the
week succeeding the landing of the first
American troops on the island General Miles
will have an army of $4,000 to $1,000 men of
all arms Supplies will follow closely. The
various phases of the campaign have been
as carefully studied as possible in advance
in order to avoid mistakes. There will be in
consequence no rush, no half organized at
tacks. On the contrary, when a move is
made upon San Juan it will be the army and
navy in concert, and it cannot fail of signal
success.
The President takes deep interest in this
Porto Rican expedition. He has urged it
along as fast as possible, going to the length
finally of giving Admiral Sampson peremp-
tory orders to provide Miles with such con-
voys as the general deemed necessary to
the safety of the transports carrying the
army. The President regards it as essen
tial that Porto Rico should be in our undis
puted possession before the Madrid govern
ment has opened negotiations for peace.
Not that this has been done or that this
government has intimations that anything
of the kind is imminent, but in order to
have this diplomatic advantage on our side
when such negotiations shall begin as they
are certain to do some time. The Porto
Rican expedition would have started forty
days ago had not Cervera's fleet taken
refuge in Santiago harbor. 1t was to cap
ture or destroy that fleet that the expedi-
ton against Santiago was undertaken.
After Cervera's fleet was destroyed we had
to go on and take the city or else stand

DISPATCHES FROM MILES.
The General Asks for Lighters and
Tugs Immediately.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Interest to-day
at the War Department centered in the
Porto Rican expedition. This morning the
following belated cablegram was received
from General Miles, under date of Playa del
Este, July 21, 1880 p. M: THE following
troops are with me. aboard transports in
Guantanamo harbor, en- route to Porto
Rico: Four light batteries of the Third
and Fourth Artillery; Lomies Battery b,
Fifth Artillery; the Sixth Illinois, Sixth
Massachusetts, 275 recruits for Fifth Corps;
sixty men of signal corps and Seventh Hos
pital Corps-S,415 men, all told"
The four light batteries with General
Miles referred to in his dispatch are c and
F, of the Third Artillery, and B and F, of
the Fourth. The Sixth Massachusetts and
the Sixth Illinois regiments are portion of
General Garretson's brigade. The Eighth
Ohio Regiment also belonging to General
Garretson's brigade, was landed in Cuba,
and. in accordance with the decision of the
department not to send to Porto Rico any
of the troops which took part in the op-
erations connected with the Santiago cam
paign, that organization was left behind.
This afternoon the War Department re-
ceived the following from General Miles,
dated Mole ST. Nicholas, p. M: Am dis

rived without snag boats or lighters. Please
send at least four strong sea-going steam
lighters and tugs. Also General Stones
boats, at Jacksonville, if not already sent,
as soon as possible. Moving along WELL"
Although General Miles reported that s'he
was moving along WE'LL" the body of his
dispatch preceding this statement gave rise
at first to the apprehension that, like Gen
eral Shafter at Santiago. General Miles was
threatened with a costly delay in landing
his expedition on Porto Rican soil, owing to
the absence of lighters and tugs. 1t was
said at the War Department later on that
some of these lighters were already on
their way from New Orleans and New York,
and that no sensible delay would arise on
that score. 1t appears from General Miles's
first statement relative to Colonel Hecker
that he was not acquainted with the neces-
sity that had arisen for that officers pres
ence in Washington in order to provide for
the speedy transportation to Spain of the
troops surrendered at Santiago.
BY direction of the secretary of war the
construction corps referred to by General
Miles was sent directly to Porto Rico in
stead Of to Santiago as was proposed be-
fore the surrender of the city. The secre-
tary's orders were issued after the surren-
de Of Santiago and without the knowledge
of General Miles. The construction outfit
consists of ocean-going steam tugs and
lighters equipped with derricks. pile driv-
ers, blacksmithing apparatus. heavy tim
Der and other engineering supplies and ma
chinery necessary for the construction Of
docks and bridges and the unloading of
ships

surgents in Cuba, there is no change in our
intention. This government has not been
misled in its estimate of those forces. With
the oppressive hand Spain has put on them
SO long, contending against the conditions
imposed by injustice and oppression, there
should have been little expectation of great
er abilities than are now shown by them.
This government will have to treat them
kindly, but firmly. It has made a pledge
to establish firm and stable government.
and that must be carried out. 1t therefore
may be. in the light of present circum-
stances and conditions, many years before
affairs there have SO shaped themselves as
to intrust the island to the Cubans and we
finally yield our possession of them. The
transition must be gradual, step by step,
and the final general change of control ef-
fected only after a thorough training and
demonstration of the abilities Of the people,
beginning with the trial of some of the
leaders in at first minor capacities. This
is what is to be looked for, and the gradual
transition will consume a length of time
considerably at variance with what the peo-
pie most expect',

GARcIA's STRANGE CONDUCT.
Preparing to Continue the War, but
Disbnnding His Army.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July II delayed
in transmission. Notwithstanding General
Garcia's bitter complaint that he had been
ignored and that the restoration of the
Spanish civil authority in the city of San
tiago was most offensive to him, and that
in consequence of all this he had been
forced to tender his resignation as a gem
eral in the Cuban army. he is going on with
his preparations for a contest with the
Spanish forces of Holguin and Manzanillo
quite as though nothing had happened
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue a
decree authorizing all Cubans who have
been driven from their plantations and
country homes by the Spaniards, and who
have taken refuge in the city and towns, to
return 10 the country and go to work on
their farms and plantations, assuring them
of protection by his forces. He has added
like permission to those in his ranks who
were recruited from the farm lands or were
employed in the fields at the outbreak of
the war. Altogether it must be confessed
that General Garcia's attitude is inexpli~
cable. His permission to the men in his
ranks to go back TO work on the farms
is construed to mean an effort to disband
his forces But this may not be altogether
justified. 1t is certain a great many of
them viii continue to fight.
The greater part Of Garcia's army leaves

paign. An immense chart of the island was
sent for during the session and its lines
carefully studied. After the session it was
specifically and positively stated that there
had been no discussion whatever as to the
peace outlook. General Miles's departure,
however, was made a matter Of congratu-
lation, and the steps to follow were thor
oughly reviewed. 1t was announced that
the troops and conveys under General Miles
probably would arrive there some time next
Sunday. but further details were withheld.
There seems to be no longer any doubt as
to the purpose of the government with re.
spect to the island when occupied. 1t will
be permanently annexed to the United
States. At the Cabinet meeting to-day
schedule of port charges for Santiago and
other Cuban ports was agreed on and will
be made public later.
section of almost Eve thousand troops
will sail for Porto Rico on Monday next
from Newport News. They will go on the
auxiliary cruisers st. Paul and St. Louis
and the transports Massachusetts,, Rou-
mania and City of Washington. The five
ships have a carrying capacity of five thou
sand troops and fifteen hundred horses.
Nearly the full capacity of the vessels will
be tested by the men, who will comprise
General Hainss brigade from Chckamauga
and several batteries of artillery. 1t is ex-
pected that about thousand horses will
be taken, seven hundred of that number
being artillery horses.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.
Junto Waiting for OfHciaI Advices aa
to Garcia's Action.

NEW YORK, July 22--At the Cuban
Junto's headquarters in New street Horatio
Rubens said he could not discuss General
Garcia's actions inteligently because the
reports about them are conflicting. zone
dispatch tells" said he, that General Gar
cla declined to attend the ceremonies at the
surrender of Santiago and another that he
is indignant because he was not invited to
those ceremonies. The members of the
Junto cannot express an opinion on the SUBJ
ject until they hear directly from General
Garcia or until General Shafter makes an
official report to Washington We do not
know whether General Garcia has left the
American army or not, and if he has. it
may be for some reason entirely different
from anger or resentment. When General
Gomez received his supplies from the United
States government he stated that all the
Cuban army had to do was to help the
American forces in driving the Spanish out
of Cuba. He pledged their cooperation and
is ready to carry out his promises
Senor Genovar, who arrived on the Sem
eca on Wednesday. acted as an interpreter
under General Garcia at Santiago. Before
departing for his home in St. Augustine he
called at the junto headquarters and spoke
of the conditions at Santiago when he left
there. He said: while it is true that there
is bad feeling on the part of the American
troops toward the Cuban soldiers, it Is due
to a mistake. The mistake was in taking
paci1cos for Cuban soldiers The regular
Cuban troops were at the extreme west of
the American troops during the action. The
Americans were working in trenches, where
they had g,eat difficulty in obtaining their
food supply. While there a party of pa
cifcos passed them, coming from the depot
where provisions were distributed. The
Americans were hungry, and when they saw
the Cubans supplied with an abundance of
food, and believing them to be Cuban SOL
diers, they formed a bad opinion, which has
grown into a prejudice. An inspection of
the, Cuban hospitals showed that they con-
tanned several hundred wounded soldiers, an
evidence that the Cubans did some fight

ono DEATHS TODAY"
General Skaters Brief Report ON the
Yellow-Fever Situation.

YeIlow-Fever Situation
WASHINGTON, July 22.-At 1880 o'clock
tonight Adjutant General Corbin received
dispatch from General Shafter announc-
ing that there had been mo deaths to-day"
The dispatch contained only the three
words quoted, but it was freighted with
cheering intelligence to the war officials.
The outbreak of yellow fever among the
troops at Santiago has given the admins
tration much concern; but the reports of
the medical officers agree in the statement
that the disease is of a comparatively mild
type. While there are many cases, some of
them serious, the belief is expressed that
the disease will be curbed without serious
loss to General Skaters corps. Every pos
sible attention is being shown those who
are Ill, and extraordinary precautions have
been taken to prevent the spread of the dis
ease among the troops.
General Corbin early In the night re-
ceived a private cablegram from General
Shafter informing him that his son, "Rud''
Corbin, who accompanied Shafter to Cuba
is in the hospital with yellow fever. He
has been ill for several days, but his dis
ease was not until to-day diagnosed def
nitely as yellow fever. Young Corbin is re-
ceiving careful attention, and, while the
attack is serious there are hopes of his
recovery.

Majority of Porto Ricans VIII We'll
come Government by Uncle Sam.

NEW YORK, July 22-Senor P. De Cas-
tro, one of the prominent members of the
Porto Ricanf Junto of this city, when asked
as to the attitude of the junto said: when
the junto was organized we were pledged to
secure the independence OF the island. That
was more than two years ago. Such a thing
as annexation was not discussed because
Spain was not at war with America Since
this war, however, all our people are with
America AT a meeting on July u we de-
cided to assist the United States uncondi-
tionally. The majority of us are in favor
of annexation. Any talk of the revolution
ary party Of Porto Rico resisting the in
vasion of Americans is nonsense. i was at
the meeting held July u in this city and
never heard any such threat 1 have grave
doubts of our ability to make republic
of Porto Rico, meaning, as it does, an inter-
nal strife. but annexation would be success
full. The majority of Porto Ricans in this
country are heartily in favor of it. There
are some few against annexation, but none
who would counsel resistance to it by force
of arms"

STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.
Nearly 100000 Mustered in and
Equipped I'm Less than Ninety Days.


WASHINGTON, July 22.-A consolidated
statement, prepared by Maj. John A. John
son, assistant adjutant general, shows that
of the 277, 500 men authorized by Congress to
be enlisted in the regular and volunteer
armies 254. .479 up to this time have been mus
tered into the service. OF the 23,OS1 yet re-
quired to complete the authorized quota of
the army 1S,9OS are regulars, 5000 are volun-
teers under the second call, S62 are imnunes
and S51 are engineers.
The authorized strength of the regular
army is 61.OOO On April 80 it contained 2S.-
500 men. Since that time % 1872 recruits have
been obtained from probable 75OOO appli-
cants by limited number of recruiting off,
GERS for the most part strangers in the coun-
try canvassed and during a period Of COM
petition by state authorities for the same
men. In the opinion of the officials of the
War Department the returns of regular
army enlistments will show a progressive
increase as this competition ceases. The
strength of the regular army to-day, less re-
cent casualties. estimated at 1000, is AZ 692
The authorized strength of the volunteer
army is 21S,50O OF this number l25,OOO were
included in the Presidents first call for
troops all of which have been recruited

included in the second call, $1,000 of which
have been mustered into the service, 5000
We're to constitute three special regiments
of cavalry. 10000 were immunes and $500
were engineers.
OF the volunteers under the second call
35.0 900 thus far enlisted have been distributed
among incomplete organizations already in
the field and 5000 constitute new organiza-
tions. The three special cavalry regiments
commanded by Colonels Roosevelt. TORY
and Grigsby have been recruited to their full
strength and there are hundreds of appli-
cants for any vacancies that may occur in
them.
Congress authorized the enlistment of TO-
900 yellow fever immunes, and of this num-
Der 9,139 have been mustered into the serv-
ice. All of the regiments are complete ex-
cept the Seventh, Eighth and Tenth, and
they probably will not be recruited TO full
strength. or the $500 engineers authorized
by special act of Congress 2.649 have been
mustered In. The First Regiment contains
fifty-three officers and 1890 men, the Second
fifty-three officers and 100 men and the
Third ffty-three officers and 300 men. 1t is
expected that the Third Regiment will be
recruited to its full strength in few days.
