ADVANCE ON PORTO RICO.
The Movement for the Conquest of That
Island May Be Said to Have
Begun,


NEW YORK, July IL. "A special to
The Times from Washington says:
"Ihe movement of the American
army on Puerto Rico may be said to
have begun. No troops have yet left
these shores openly consigned to the
island, but the continued forwarding
of additional regiments to Santiago,
when it is recognized that General
Shafter has as large an army as he
needs to take that town, is in reality
the laying of the foundation of the
Puerto Rican expeditionary force and
the hurry orders that have been seen to
the southern concentration camps for
the making reading of large bodies Of
troops for early movement mark the
preparation for the superstructure.
The Force Will Be Adequate.
The determination of the war de.
partment to send formidable force
for the capture of Porto Rico has been
strengthened by the resistance made
by the Spaniards in Santiago. An eff.
fort will be made to avoid the mistakes
of the Santiago campaign. Although
the force to be overcome at San Juan is
smaller than at Santiago, and the har-
Dor is by no means inaccessible, it is
proposed to send larger army on the
next expedition, and one that will go
fully equipped with artillery and cav
airy it needs. There will be no dis
patching of an insufficient force half
equipped and improperly supplied, as
was done when General Shatter was
sent away from Tampa.
The expedition to go against Porto
Rico will consist of between $4,000 and
10000 men.
To make up this force Major Gen.
eraI Miles, who will organize it at San
tiago after the fall of that city, will
draw heavily on the nucleus of regu-
lars, who have borne themselves so
splendidly at Santiago. For the rest
of the force he will take his choice of
the reserves at Tampa, including $4,000
infantry, 1880 cavalry and 1000 artil-
lery; of the six regiments at Miami,
the twelve regiments under Lee at
Jackson vile, of the great mass of vol.
unteers at Chickamauga, where more
than 40 regiments are awaiting orders
to the front and Of the big force still
stationed at Camp Alger.

WAR REVENUE IMMENSE.
1t Already More Than Covers the War
Expenditures.

Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, July Is. The effect of
the war revenue act is shown in the
large increase in receipts from internal
revenue since July l. The total OF
these receipts of eight days was So, 49,.
673, which is double the amount re-.
Ceived from the same source for the
corresponding period of last year. The
yield from increased taxes has averaged
about 100000 per day. The total ex.
penditures reported for the war and
navy departments for the last eight
days is 6,545, 900, so that it will be
seen that the receipts from internal
revenue sources have been more than
sufficient to cover the war expenditures
since July

MATJDE ADAMS.
Grand Opera House.

Miss Bessie Phillips, the dancer, made the Grand in her singing and dancing although she says a critic once said of her, "her voice would take the varnish off a piano." She is a clever little body and executes several dances both grace ful and charming. Her last appearance here was in Town Topics" on the day of the big football game, when the vic- torious Yalensians bought the house, and when a cabbage was thrown at her by an admiring student, who supposed that it was the costly bouquet he had ordered. The withered stalk is retained in her dressing room as a souvenir of the embarrassment of a certain we'll known graduate.
 ''Rube" Shields and George Phillips, alias twill and Cousin Will" made a hit by their clever trick bicycle riding. Phillips performed his wonderful feats, while "Rube" brought down the house by his bicycle monologue, in which he brought in the makes of the different wheels as well as a great many of the riders. Their performance so pleased the management of the Grand that they will probably be seen in this city in the near future for a longer stay.
 Girard, the imitator, continues to amuse in spite of the hard cold with which he suffers, and last night intro- duced several new features to his very entertaining act. MT. Girard has also an attractive stage appearance that has made him the idol of the matinee girl
 Mcintyre and Heath the Georgia minstrels, are the favorites of the whole show. As a lady expressed it, 'It's not so much what they say as it is the way they say it." The Van Aukens do a wonderfully difficult and interesting turn The whole show is good and made a hit last night.
 Prices 10 cents, 20 cents and 30 cents

The maid said that she and Miss King went bath ing together. They had been in the water only a little time, when Miss King, who could not swim, was caught by a breaker and carried away from the rope. Before the maid could get to her the young woman was swept out to sea and was drowned.

EXIT THE CAR SMOKER
FAIR HA YEN 4 ND WESTVILLE ROAD
 TAKE RADICAL STEP.
No Smoking on Rear Platforms of Closed Car, the New Edict-Scheme Successful in Other Cities.

No Smoking on Rear Platforms of
 Closed Car, the New Edict-scheme
 Successful in Other Cities.
 The Fair Haven and Westville Elec- trio street railway will make a most radical move, when the present open cars are replaced by the closed cars for the cold weather season. This move is the prohibition of smoking on the rear platform, hence with the present rules the smoking at all upon the closed cars of the company. This step, so important to patrons of the road has only been taken after long considera- tion. Hitherto as all know a great deal of difficulty has been experienced by passengers in getting on or off the closed cars, owing to the presence of 8 large crowd of smokers and others who almost refuse to make way for the oth- CT occupants of the car. To obviate this and make travelling pleasanter for the lady patrons and others, smoking will be prohibited and no crowd will be al- lowed to collect on the rear platforms.
 The new move, for the convenience of the public, has been very successfully tried on one of Brooklyn's leading elec- trio roads, and is also in successful op- eration on many of the New York sur face lines Hartford has a rule in force, very similar to that proposed by the New Haven line, and it has given great public satisfaction. Neat little placards are being printed by the Fair Haven and Westville company and tackled in conspicuous places on the closed cars of the line. This step, ob- jectionable as it will doubtless be to many of the users of the weed, will have the approval of the greater part of the city's inhabitants, many of whom have for years undergone the disagreeable sensations of being played football with while boarding a car and having a heavy tobacco perfume to breathe.

THE MARYLAND sENATORSHIP
The Issue Squarely Drawn Between Balti-
more and Eastern Shore ~blicaDs
and Those of the West-Democrats Ready
to Aid the Boilers

annapolis, Md, January 24.~General
Shryock withdrew from the senatorial
contest today and declared himsel1 =
~equivocally for Judge McComas' cleo
ton. 1t is believed that a crisis is fast
approaching and that an election may
take place at any time. But one bal
lot was taken in joint convention today
and that resulted as follows: McComas
49, German AZ, Shaw II, Ffndlay 1; to-
tai 109, necessary to a choice SO.
The changes in today's ballot were
brought about by McComas' acces-
sion of both Shryock's votes and n
of F~indlay's. He also captured Sen
ator Day, of Howard county, who has
voted for almost every body in the
race. Delegate Tull, of Talbot, who
voted for McComas on Saturday, re-
turned to Shaw, making McComas' net
gain over Saturdays vote but three.
Delegate Hall, of Talbot, Wtho voted
for Findlay on Saturday, also came
back to Major Shaw today. This caves
every republican in the two houses
on McComas' list except the eleven"
from Baltimore city, three senators
and two delegates from the Eastern
Shore" and h solitary Findlay del
egate from Baltimore city. The lines
are thus clearly drawn between the
two sections of the state, as in this
fight the Eastern Shore men are
working in the interest of Baltimore
city as against the western portion of
the state, in revenge upon that portion
for having forced the election of Sen
ator Wellington two years ago by ig-
nOring the statute which provides that
one senate shall always come from
each of the sections.
That the democrats are ready and
willing to take a hand in the contest
m to aid the eleven" in electing all
most anybody but McComas, is no
longer susceptible of denial. Delegates
Writ n Wilkinson, the acknowledged
leaders Of the democrats in the house,
declared as much today in speeches
made in the joint convention, the for
mer making a bitter attack upon Judge
McComas for his part in the passage
of the force bill'' when in
and declaring by implication, that he
for one whose record upon that Ques
ton was such as that of Judge Nc
COmas.'
These speeches are looked upon as
official announcements that the coal
itiOn is on if it can be carried 9Th.
n it is announced that the full dem
| Ocratic vote will be on hand within a
day or two.
