PUERTO RICO ABANDONED
1t Has Been Concluded to Con-
centrate all Effort on Cuba. !.
RE-EEFoRCEMENTs HURRIED

NEW YORK, juno ga special to
the Tribune, from Washington, says
The project to occupy Puerto Rico is
now regarded by the highest military
authorities, both of the Army and
Navy, as practically removed from i'm
mediate consideration.
General Miles and the highest author
tiles are convinced that the best of mil
itary reasons exist for concentrating
every resource of the government, for
the time being at least upon the sup
port Of General Shafter whose cam
paign is Of more hazardous nature
than has been generally appreciated.
The illusion that the actual possession
of Puerto Rico would constitute any
valid advantage from international
law point, was speedily dispelled by the
citation of precedents, the most recent
being the acquisition by Japan Of
Formosa, at the treaty Of Simonosi,
although that island was in possession
of China at the close Of the war. 1t
was also made evident that the United
States had absolute justification, which
could not be combatted by neutrals,
for exacting the surrender Of Puerto
Rico by Spain, as indemnity against
part of the cost of the war, especially
as it is universally conceded that this
Government already has the power of
eventually debating terms of peace.
1t now appears conclusively settled
that no further attention will be paid
to Puerto Rico for the present, unless
it develops strategic importance ut
terly anrecognizsd at the present time.
1t has been decided to send to Santiago
at least one regiment Of volunteers, on
a fast auxiliary cruiser from Newport
News, Thursday, to be followed by
others on the s3Isrvard few days
later, and another brigade from Camp
Alger during the ensuing week. The
prisoners who must fall into American
hands whenever Santiago capitulates,
are estimated all the way from 25,000
10 $4,000. They will be brought to
this country.
