OF the reported debaTkation OF General
Miles troops. The war department did
not expect 10 hear of Miles landing near
Ponce, as mentioned in newspaper dis
patches, but II is entirely conceivable
that he acquired information since the
original plans were formed for the cam
paign against Porto Rico that led him to
modify them. While the distance from
Ponce TO San Juan Ia much greater than
from the point originally selected for
Miles landing, there il according 10
