SAMPSON RESENTS 1T.
General Miles Delay Was Not Caused by
Any Lack of Conyoys.

Washington, July 21.-Concerning the
naval conveys of General Miles expe-
dition from Cuba to Porto Rico, the
navy department tonight made public
the following statement:
Admiral Sampson telegraphs this
afternoon to the secretary OF the navy
that there has been no delay in fur
nishing ample conveys to General
Miles. A day or two ago the Cincin-
natl and New Orleans were both placed
at his disposal. The Columbia and
Yale. carrying troops, are both power
fully armed" says the telegram, "and
there are ample conveys for his expedi-
tion and to effect his landing. The An
napolis, Wasp and Leyden have been
ordered from Nipe, the Gloucester also
added, and the three monitors ordered
from Tampa. Under these circum-
stances there certainly has been no lack
or naval assistance. If General Miles
preferred to wait, the delay has been
his own. However, in further answer
to his request, the Massachusetts and
Dixie were also added this morning,
and he has probably started"
This statement shows that General
Miles will be backed in effecting his
landing on Porto Rico soil by a strong
squadron of the navy. In addition to
the vessels named in the statement, it
is officially admitted, for the first time
that the powerful monitors Terror
Amphitrite and Puritan, which have
been at Key West, are under orders to
proceed to Porto Rico to assist in the
reduction of the forces there
1t is known also to be not unlikely.
indeed it is probable, that still other
vessels of SIMPSONS fleet will partici-
pate in the bombardment of San Juan.
This was shown clearly by Secretary
Longs statement concerning the sail
ing of Commodore Watson's Eastern
squadron to Spain. In the course of
that statement, the secretary said the
Eastern squadron would be sent to
Spain later, when the Porto Rican cam
paign permits. 1t seems clear that
some, at least, of the vessels will be em-
ployed in the bombardment of the for
tificatiOns of Porto Rico's principal
city.

BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
Reasons Why the Spanish Company should
Transport the Spanish Troops.

Washington, July 21.-An official of
Skaters army will be detailed by
General Shafter to supervise the en-
barkation of the Spanish prisoners for
Spain. According TO the terms of the
contract with the Spanish Trans-At-
lantic company this will begin by thu
25th inst, when the company will have
fve ships at Santiago. Practically all
the preparations for shipping the pris-
oners necessarily left with the quar-
termaster at Santiago, the department
here seeing to il that the TRANSPORTS
are at their designated places on time.
Absolute confidence is felt by Colonel
Hecker, in charge of the transportation
bureau, in the ability of the Spanish
company to carry out its contract. H.
had the opportunity of personally
meeting Mr.. Ceballos, who representeI
the company at New York, and found
him thoroughly alive to the needs of

that his course in awarding the con-
tract 10 the Spanish company. while i.
may give rise to some unfavorabla
comment, was the best possible solu-
ton of the question. Although tha

report from Cuba that Gen. Leonard
Wood, who went to the island as colo

pointed as temporary governor of San

Had the army troop ships been able
to go to Porto Rico without a naval
convoy. the Watson squadron could
have got away within the next few
days, as the war board had wished TO
close all preliminaries by next Satur-
day. But as the battleship Massachu-
setts, the cruisers Columbia, Cincin-
natl, Dixie and Yale, together with the
several lesser craft, were considered
necessary as a patrol for the Miles ex-
pedition, this changes the plans slight
ly.
The Dixie is almost certain to be in
the Watson squadron, and the Massa-

expressly says, however that the delay
of the Watson squadron is incident to

will be postponed until the Porto Rico
operations are concluded.

Washington, July 21.-The anxiously
awaited report of Admiral Sampson on
the great sea fight with Cervera's squad
ron is now on the way by the cruiser
st. Paul under Captain Sigsbee, which
left Santiago day before yesterday. The
trip to New York is about three days,
so that the report is likely to be in the
hands of the department by next Sat-
urday or Sunday
After going over It, the officials will
make public liberal extracts on the de-
tails of the engagement. This and the
supplementary reports of the fleet Off
GERS Is awaited with great interest, not
only for the light they will throw on
this memorable fight, but for the tech
nical lessons they will give on eXplo-
sives, projectiles and the like. Thus far
not a word has been received by the
department to show what kind of pro-
jectiles did such effective work. Cap
tain O'Neill of the ordnance bureau is
particularly interested in the scientific
deductions which will be afforded, and
he has sent orders for detailed reports
on the effects OF all kinds of naval ord
nance, including the dynamite projec-
tiles thrown by the Vesuvlus.
The press reports concerning the dyna-
mite projectiles indicated that they had
done fearful havoc, but the observa-
tions since then within the fortifications
do not show any very serious damage.
The technical reports will disclose just
how much effectiveness can be secured
from the various appliances now in use
by the navy. some Of them being in
their experimental stages.
