THE NAVY'S PART.
The part which the navy is to take
in the assault against Porto Rico has
been fully matured. The several tran
port fleets will have with them one c"
two auxiliary craft, carrying strong
secondary batteries of six or eight
Founders. Secretary Long said this
afternoon that no time had been fixed
for the departure Of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet from San Juan. AS to the
naval plans, he would only say that
they would cooperate in every way
with the movements of the army. The
reports that three monitors were on
their way from Key West to San Juan
were characterized by the secretary as
unauthorized. 1t was the general un-
derstanding, however, that the navy
will rely on armored ships for the bonn
bardment Of San Juan, as the big bat
tleshipS and monitors afford the best
means Of offensive warfare, while their
arnor belts protect them from such fire
as the San Juan batteries can bring
to bear. The Notifications there are
much like those at Santiago, with
MORO castle at the entrance Of the
harbor and number of lesser fortifi-
cations leading up to the city. These,
however, are viewed with less awe
since an examination of the MORO
batteries at Santiago has shown them
to be antiquated and capable of little
effective resistance.
The removal Of the ships from Sam
tiago to their new field of operations
will begin tomorrow, and 1t Is probable
that some Of Admiral Sampson's ships
were detached today and proceeded
with Gen. Miles first expedition to-
wards Porto Rico. They will be needed
to cover the debarkation Of the troops
on Porto Rican soil. The others will
follow as soon as the full army expedi-
ton is ready to make a landing, when
the attack will begin simultaneously
from land and sea.
Secretary Long said no apprehensive
fears existed on account of the Spanish
threat that Camara's fleet would be
sent to this side to attack Atlantic sea-
port cities. This is looked upon as
sheer bluff, and 1t will not have the
effect of changing any American plans
or withdrawing any ships from patrol
service on the Atlantic coast Should
the Spanish threat be made good, ships
more than match for any of Cana
ra's vessels will be available at any
Atlantic port on short notice.
1t has been determined that Commo-
dore Watson's fleet should sail for
Spain shortly. Secretary Long said
the reported new list Of the ships of
the squadron was inaccurate, as the
list has not been finally made up.
SANTIAGO TROOPS BARRED
1t has ben determined that none of
the troops that participated in the ac-
tual fighting at Santiago shall be OF
dered on the Porto Rican expedition.
There are two reasons for this; first.
the men have suffered severely from
hardsh1ps, the climate and fevers and
are entitled to rest; second, 1t is
deemed to be very bad practice to al
low the soldiers who have been exposed
to yellow fever to be brought In con-
tact with those fresh from the United
States. There is also still another rea-
son, purely military one. Ten thou
sand Spanish troops are at Holguin.
Manzanillo and other points within
striking distance of Santiago and might
not lose an opportunity to recover the
ground lost at Santiago if the place
were left insufficently protected
Therefore Skaters entire army is to
be kept on guard on the hills In the
rear of the town until the men have.
stamped out the yellow fever. Then
they will take a turn at the Spanfards
If they can be found, and it NAV be
that Skaters march will end at Ha.
vana. He will work as far from his
base as possible after his army is thor
oughly refreshed hunting the enemy
wherever they are liable to be found
