NOT GLOOMY

There Is no evidence of gloom on the
faces of the Spanish men and women.
These mercurial people are already
laughing and are pleased at the mill
tary and naval show. and at the pros
pect Of getting food other than rice and
salt meats.
Nearly all the better class of houses
are closed The residents evidently
have not yet returned from FL Caney
and other suburban places TO which
they fed on the threat of lombard
ment by the land and sea forces of the
United States.
Filth lis noticeable everywhere. and,
strange to say, the city Is healthy In
spite of It, But IL Santiago Is TO con-
tinue healthy, much sanitary work Is
necessary. Arrangements therefore are
under way to remove the most danger
Gus features and TO improve those
which tend TO purify the city.

very beautiful place. with its high ram

FOR PORTO RICAN
EXPEDITION

Chicamauga Park. July 19.-Maj.
Gen. Brooke Will return to his head
quarters at Camp Thomas tomorrow

regiments will go to Porto Rico and
when they will go will be definitely set
tied. This question has been the ONE
of main interest in the big army camp
since the departure of Gen. Brooke Tor

1t is generally believed that the regi-
ments composing the FIRST and second
divisions of the first corps VIII be the
ones TO go. AS far as can be learned
only two divisions will be taken.
The railroads, acting upon notice
given them, have trains in readiness
and can do their part without delay.

MAY BE- TROUBLE
WITH CUBANS.

Some apprehension is expressed here
that the assumption by the United
States government of the control Of
affairs at Santiago may lead to trouble
with the Cubans. A few days before
the surrender of the city Gen. Garcia
sent a communication TO Gen. Shafter
informing him that the Cubans had
selected a Cuban named Castillo for
governor of the city. 1t Is plain, how
ever from the reading of the presi-
dents order to Shafter that IT will be
a long time before this Cuban officer is
allowed to exercise the functions of
governor and it is believed ii is the
presidents purpose when the military
government he has just erected gives
way to replace IL with popular gov
ernment, meaning thereby govern
ment for Santiago chosen by the free
vote Of the people OF Santiago. Some
doubt is expressed as to whether this
program will be entirely acceptable TO
that element of the Cuban party which
demands immediate possession Of cap
tured territory, but as the administra-
tion is convinced that this element Is
neither the most numerous nor re-
spectacle in the Cuban cause IL is be-
lieved their dissatisfaction will take no
and grOWls

SAMUEL z. GARDINER,
BY Edwards & Angel, Attorneys.
Messrs. Angel e. Edwards claim that
the recording of an attested copy Of a
writ attaching property Is part of the
judicial process of the state, and that
the ruling of the city solicitors depart
ment and OF the collector for this dis
trict is wrong. They claim that II was
not the intention of congress in passing
the revenue bill to interfere in any way
by taxation with the judiciary of the
states, and that If such was the inten-
tion such action was clearly uncon-
stitutional. Citation on the petition
was ordered returnable on the 30th inst.

MILES DEPARTURE
WAS DELAYED

Washington, July 19.--Gen. Miles did
not start for Porto Rico yesterday, as
was expected, but either has already
sailed this morning or will get away
during the day.
The delay was a failure to receive
the necessary orders through some mis-
take of persons through whose hands
they travelled.
Gen. Miles telegraphed here over
night, and the orders were repeated TO
him, and he was told TO start for Porto
Rico Immediately and without delay.
Secretary Alger said today be-
fore entering the cabinet session that il
the vessels of the navy were ready TO
set sail. Gen. Miles had already left
port and is en- route to Porto Rico. He
said he had not been Informed OF his
departure, however.

most thrilling adventures of my life, )" be-
gan Major Rawling, as be lit his cigar and
settled down in a comfortable arm chair
before the open CRATE fire.

scouting party of dozen men, which had
been sent ont from one Of the government
posts on accommodating expedition.
"We had ridden for hours without meet
ing with any signs OF our foes, and | was
congratulating myself on not having any

appeared from view over the brow OF the

"At that moment perfect storm OF yells
broke out in the direction OF the knoll, and
the clatter Of horses hoofs could be heard

excitement, as we'll as the increasing dark
