Washington, June 1S.-The original
plans Of the campaign OF the war
against Spain will be adhered to, and

cision was reached ut IL war council
to-day, ut which We're present Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries AlSer ana

tary Meikeljohn, Admiral Sicard and
Captain Mahan.
or course there will be some slight
notifications made necessary by the
changes that have occurred since the
beginning of hostilitics, but these, after
all, will not affe't the general plan OF
operations. General Miles returned
from Florida with store of inforna-
tion respecting the condition of the
troops, difficulties to be explained In
progress of the campaign and the mat
ter of transportation and terminal ia
cilities will be freely avniled OF to cor
rect the defects in the present system.
The stories that there has been fric-
tion between General Miles and his of
fetal supcriors are pronounced to be
absurd. and today the proceedings
gave ample evidence of the fact that
the utmost harmony characteriZes the
relations between the chief executive
and the military branch of the gov
ernment.
The official declare ton that the cam
paign is to be pushed with vlgOr does
not necessarily mean nm immediate at
tack upon Havana, although such ad-
vice has been rendered. 1t does mean
that the very best efforts are to be put
forth to put the army In condition

ing effect at any point, Mt almost n

troops now In camp are to be thorough

to and the general good order which
