NEW YORK, Aug. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Ponce, via st. Thomas,
says:
Gen. Miles invasion of the island of
Porto Rico is progressing in a highly
satisfactory manner Nothing has
taken place to interfere with the plans
finally decided upon by Gen. Miles, and
the American troops are gaining adj
vanced ground every day.
Keeping the spsniards Guessing.
This plan of having the army march
upon San Juan from four directions is
regarded here as one of Gen. Miles
shrewdest movements. He has the
Spaniards in complete doubt, and has
assigned large enough force under
each general to insure successful resist
ance against Spanish attacks.
At the same time by this plan Gen.
| Miles speedily will have several thou
sand Spanish troops shut up in the vi
cinity of Aibonito, unless the army
| suddenly changes plans and hasteus to
San Juan over the military road.
Ready to Advance on San Juan.
There will be a formidable American
force ready to advance upon the Porto
Rican capital when the troops under
Gen. Henry form junction with those
under Gen. Schwan at Arecibo 1t is
probable that much of the artillery to
be used in the siege of San Juan will
be sent to Arecibo by transport, and
taken from there to San Juan by rail.
An Easy Task.

plishment, and Gen. Henry and Gen.
Schwan will be able to form junction
with the other troops as soon as they
can march TO the capital. No opposition
Is expected by the American troops in
the execution of this plan. All of our
men are lighthearted, and there is plen.
ty of good food for all The forage for
the horses is superb.
Gen. Miles Keeping Watch of Details.
Gen. Miles is giving his personal at.
tention to the management of the de.
tails of the campaign. He intends to
press forward to San Juan, regardless
of the peace negotiations, until orders
come from Washington for hostilities
to cease.
If Peace Is Declared.
II peace is promptly declared, Gen.
Miles will be the first to enter San
Juan, going by the railroad from Are.
cibo to the Porto Rican capital.
In view of the news received here
about the progress of the peace nego-
tiations. all the American officers ap.
pear to believe that there will be nc
more fighting.
