Thousand Men.

Troops to Go From Tampa,

bard San Juan.

Washington, July 1S.-After three
days co kiltation between Secretary
Alger anu General Brooke, during
which there was frequent communica-
ton with General Miles at Siboney. the
details of the Porto Rican expedition
were perfected and the expedition itself
gotten under way.
General Mil S, with some ar illery and
troops, are sailing today for Porto Rico
on the Yale. to be followed quickly by
an army of about 10000 men.
There are some notable differences in
the plans for this expedition and those
for the stately naval pageant that
sailed away from Tampa under General
Skaters command to attack Santiago.
First, there Will be practically no naval
conveys. The navy department has
declared that they are unnecessary;
that there is not Spanish warship in
the West Indies that dare thrust its
bow out of port In the second place,
the expedition does not start from one
point. but will be divided among sew
eral ports, thus preventing the tremen-
douS congestion that was encountered
at Tampa in the effort to start the big
fleet. Lastly, there will be no effort
made to get the ships away together.
but the transports will be allowed to
find their own way to their destination
without concerted movements.
General Miles leads the way. He had
been promised by the president that
he should go to Porto REQ, and the
promise was redeemed when the Yale
headed today from Siboney for Porto
Rico. 500 miles distant.
General Brooke will be the senior Of
ficer in General Miles command, and
upon him will fall the responsibility for
the execution of the details of his SUI
perior's plans. 1t is estimated that
General Miles should arrive by Wednes-
day night at the point selected for the
landing, and that ne will hoist the
American flag at once over Porto Rican
soil The point chosen for his landing
is kept secret. as the general will land
before the full body of the expedition
is at hand. and it is consequently not
desirable that the enemy should be en-
abled to send superior force to meet
him.
The distance from Charleston, where
the first body of troops for General
Miles expedition was to start today,
is more than double the distance from
Santiago to Porto Rico, so that the
transports which sail from the former
city can scarcely reach General Miles
before the early part of next week.
These Charleston troops are to be the
first brigade of the first division of the
First army corps, and are commanded
by Brigadier General George II. Ernst.
The brigade comprises the Second Wis
consin. Third Wisconsin and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania regiments.
SEVENTY THOUSAND MEN.
The purpose of Secretary Alger is to
make the Porto Rican campaign a short
one. An overwhelming force will be
thrown upon the island, and it is pos
sible that a bloodless victory will be
achieved when the Spanish become con-

WATKINS CONVICTED.
Murder In Second Degree For Kill
ing Sheepherder.
ESPECIAL to The Herald.)

Especial TO The deralC.)
Haley, Ida, July 1S.-After SO hours
of elaboration, the jury in the case of
Herman Watkins, alias Scoble, on
trial for numbering Matthew Smitham
on June last at Muldoon, Ida, re-
turned a verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree. This was the second trial
of Watkins for this offense, the jury
in the first trial having failed to agree.
Matthew Smitham was a sheepherder
and working at the time for his father,
James Smitham, a well-known and re-
spected citizen of this county. Matthew
Smitham and John Smitham. his uncle,
were just breaking camp on the after
noon of June last when Watkins rode
I'D with his rifle and shot a dog be-
longing to Smitham. AS Watkins shot
the dog, young Smitham exclaimed,
Don't shoot that dog" With that,
Watkins leveled his gun at him and
fired, killing him instantly. Watkins
claimed that he acted in self-defense,
but evidently the jury did not believe
him or his witnesses.
The case has been bitterly fought, z.

ANGLG-ISR AEL ALLIANCE.
Will Prove That Anglo-saxons Are
the Lost Ten Tribes.

Chicago. July 1S.-At a meeting to-
day of persons interested in establish
ing the identity of Anglo Saxons with
the house of Israel. or the Lost Ten
Tribes" held in the Y. NJ. c. A. par
lors, an Anglo-Israel association was
organized. The object of the associa-
ton is to spread the truth of the
claimed identity with the chosen peo-
pie. 1t viii be the purpose of the or
ganization to hold meetings at regu-
lar intervals, when papers will be read
upon the theme, discussions had there
on, questions answered, and literature
distributed.
The fact that England and the
United States bear all the marks by
which the kingdom of Israel was to
be identified in these latter days, and
that the people are accomplishing the
especial mission of this people, has
been a source of wonderful many Bible
students. a temporary organization
was effected. with George E. Inglis as
chairman and George Kerr as secre-
tary.

losing faith in Aguinaldo. The latter,
1T is alleged, finds it extremely difficult
to capture the towns Notifications.
His previous successes, it is pointed
out, were easy because of the nature
of the country, which suited his sl<ir-
mishers. 1t is further alleged that the
principal points captured by the in

which is tedious and troublesome work.
They are also obtaining detailed re-
ports of the condition of affairs from
the inside of the city.
Admiral Dewey is establishing a
more strict blockade, lest it be invali-
dated by permitting neutrals to visit
Cavite and Malabon and send and re-
ceive mails enclosing surreptitiouS
Spanish dispatches. He has threat
ened to station warships opposite the
city, which might precipitate HOSTILE
ties, as the Spanish officers declare
they Will certainly fire on any Ameri-
can within range, regardless of the
consequences.
The second installment of the Ameri-
can troops is expected here daily, and
the last detachments are booked to ar
rive early in August. Probably milf
tary operations will be deferred until
the September dry season, when it is
cooler, and possibly then bloodshed
may be unnecessary.
A Spanish steamer, the F'ilipinas. has
just been brought in here in the hands
of the insurgents. 1t appears that she
was on the north coast and escaped to
China with a native crew on board,
when the latter revOlted, killed the
Spanish officers and brought the vessel
to Cavite.
Spaniards are daily employing con-
victs to fell trees and burn huts on
the outskirts of the town. Fusilades
continue, but otherwise the position is
unchanged. The stock of flour is prac-
tically exhausted, but the supplies of
rice and buffalo meat will last for
months longer.

1nsurgent overtures Looking to Elk

Insurgent overtures Looking TO Elk
clusion of Americans.
Manila, .luly Is (via Hongkong, July
1S).-An important interview has just
been held between General Aguinaldo's
secretary, Legarda, and a prominent
native white man and the Spanish COM
mander, Captain August. Legarda and
the native urged August to surrender
the city asserting that $4,000 insur-
gents surrounded Manila, and were able
TO enter it at any moment. Thus far,
they added, the insurgents had been
restrained with difficulty, but if the
Spaniards continued stubborn, the re
suit would be that the insurgents would
be compelled to lombard and storm
the city, with the inevitable slaughter,
unparalleled in history. because in the
excitement of battle they cannot dis
criminate."
Continuing. the captain generals Wis
itors advised him TO disregard the Off
cial fictions regarding alleged Spanish
victories in Cuba and reinforcements
coming to the Philippine Islands, and
proposed a reconciliation between the
Spaniards in the Philippines under a re-
publican flag and joint endeavor to
persuade the Americans to abandon
hostilities in the Philippine Islands.
Finally the representatives of the in
surgents proposed an appeal to the
powers to recognize the independence
of the Philippine Islands.
The captain general replied that he
must fight, however hopeless as is the
Spanish cause.
Legarda then returned to Cavite, TAX
ing with him the native, who is pa
rolled prisoner.
The natives inside the city say they
received, a fortnight ago, a concerted
signal to prepare for Storming the
walls. A second signal, fixing the date
of the assault, has not yet been issued,
and they are tired of waiting and are

from hardships, the climate and from
severe fevers and are entitled to a rest;
second. it is deemed to be very bad
practice to allow the soldiers who have
been exposed to yellow fever to be
brought in contact with those fresh
from the United States. There is also
still another reason, a purely military
one. Ten thousand Spanish troops are
at Holguin, Manzanillo and other
points, within striking distance of San
tiago, and might not lose an opportu-
nifty to recover the ground lost at San
tiago if the place were left inSufficiently
protected Therefore, Skaters entire
army is to DE kept on guard on the
high hills in the rear of the town until
the men have stamped out the yellow
fever. Then they will take a turn at
the Spaniards, if they can be found.
and it may be that Skaters march will
end at Havana. He will work as far
from his base as possible after his
army is thoroughly refreshed. hunting
the enemy wherever they are liable to
be found.
POINT OF DEBARKATION.
1t is suggested in some quarters that
the army may land in Porto Rico on
the southern coast. near the city OF
Ponce. to the southwest of San Juan.
Ponce is situated on q plain about 2
miles from the seabOard, is the resi-
dence of the military commander of the
district and is commercially the second
city of Importance on the island. A
fine road leads to the port playa
where is situated the custom house.
the office of the captain of the port and
all the consular officers. The port is
spacious and will hold vessels with 20
feet draught, an important considera-
ton in the landing
The city proper has no military de-
lenses but in the hills to the north of
the town a series of earth entrench-
ments have lately been constructed
west of Ponce, where the railroad and
military road touch the shore. There
are about 80 mountain howitzers in
Ponce for the protection of the city
The army, if landed there. would be
compelled to travel so or 60 miles
across the mountainous country to
reach San Juan. There is. however, a
main road, irregular and circuitous,
connecting Ponce and San Juan The
northern coast of the island extends in
an almost straight line from east to
west and is high and rugged. The only
harbors it has are the following: San
Juan, surrounded by mangrove swamps
and protected by the Cabras and the
Cabritas islands and some very danger
Gus banks; the anchoring ground of
ArecibO, somewhat unprotected and
which has been mentioned as possible
landing place; and the cOves of
Caingrehos and Condado. During the
present season the ports on this coast
are safe and commodiouS unless visited
by hurricanes.
