GENERAL MILES ARRIVES

AZ Santiago bay YsSiSrday u Noon-Ho
Confas with Admiral sampson and
General Shaftsr-IVlll not snpsrCsds the
Latter,
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11.-Gen-
eral Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
unlted States army, arrived OF santi-
ago bay shortly after noon to-day. Up
ON the arrival of the auxiliary cruiser
Yale, on which General Miles was a
passenger, communication WIS opened
with Admiral Sampson and the two
commanders were soon in conference.
During the early afternoon General
Miles landed at Playa del Este and
communicated with General shafter,
commanding the American forces be-
fore Santiago, by telephone. What the
nature and result of the two consulta-
tions were Is not disclosed al the war
department, but General Miles doubt
less was placed In possession OF all sal
lent points OF the situation from the
view point OF both the navy and the
army.
1t is understood to have been General
Miles purpose to proceed Immediately
TO General Shnfter's headquarters at
Siboney and after discussing with Shaf-
ter the latter's plan of campaign, to
make personal examination of the
American position. II is not to be un-
derstood that General Miles is to su-
percede General Shafter in command OF
the United States forces before Santi-
ago. General Shafter Is operating there
under written instructions from the sec
retary Of war, approved by the Presi-
dent. and as long as he is able ply
slcally to direct the troops, he will re-
tain his command.
A prominent official Of the war de-
partment said late tonight that neith-
er the administration nor General Miles
had any desire to detract an iota from
the credit due to General Shafter for
the plans by which he hopes to achieve
victory at Santiago.
The hotably fast run made by the
cruiser Yale from Charleston to Sautl-
a,yo, Is particularly pleasing to the ma
v,ll officials She left Charleston Sat
UrdaV morning at 2 O'Clock, making the
run in triie less than two days and q
half. She had on board the Sixth Mas
sachusetts, one Of the regiments OF
General Garretson's brigade. The Col
umbia. which left Charleston practical
~ simultaneously with the Yale, car
ried one battalion of the Sixth Illinois
also a part OF Garretson's brigade. So
far as eau be learned at this writing,
the Columbia has not arrived on Santl-
ago.

NEW YORK. July 12.-A special to
the Times from Washington says:
The movement OF the American army
on Puerto Rico may be said to have be-
gun.
The expedition to go against Puerto
Rico will consist of between 25,OOO and
10000 men. According to the Spanish
army register for 1885, the total strength
Of the Spanish regular forces in the Is
land of Puerto Rico is 7,2ls. OF these
5,2l4 are infantry, armed with Meuser
rides; 1872 are artillery and 2l1 are en-
gIneers. The total cavalry strength Is
ten officers and men. The rest Of the
garrison is made up Of the civil guard,
which Is a sort OF custom house guard
and the police force There are in the
island, according to the Information
brought back by Lieutenant whitney,
some 1900 volunteers who are to be
reckoned with, as well as the additional
men the Spanish commander might be
able to impress from the male popula-
tlon Of the island.
With total for all arms of some
2l,OOO or 1900 1t is not doubted that an
American force of 5000 or 10000, with
the help of the feet, will be ample to
take the island.
To make up this force Major General
Miles, who will organize It at Santiago
after the fail OF that city, will draw
heavily on the nucleus Of regulars, who
have borne themselves so splendidlV at
Santiago. For the rest OF the force he
will take his choice Of the reserves at
Tampa, including 1900 infantry, $500
cavalry and 1000 artillery; OF the six
regiments at Miami, the twelve regi-
ments under Lee at Jacksonville, OF
the great mass OF volunteers at Chick
amnuga, where more than forty regi-
ments are awaiting orders TO the front,
and OF the big force still stationed at
Camp Alger.

are being forwarded to Chlckamauga by
express. This corps IS expected TO be
ready TO move within week, and II
Santiago falls as soon as It is expected
to do, Its moving orders will probably
be given In that time.
It Is not believed that there has been
any change in the plan TO have General
Brooke lead the Puerto Rico force, as
Shafter did that to Santiago, General
Miles, as the general commanding the
army, Is expected to be in supreme
command, however, with General
Brooke next to him, and to be made
military governor OF the Island after II
has been subdued.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Monday, says:
"senor sagaste went to the palace to-
day and rendered his resignation and
that of the cabinet. It is said that he
advised the queen regent to appoint a
new cabinet, largely consisting Of the
military element. which would not nee
essarily mean the adoption of a war
like policy. but probably the reverse.
"It is generally expected that the
resignation will be accepted.
LONDON, July 12.-The Madrid cor
respondent OF the Times telegraphlng
this CTuesday) morning, says:
The cabinet resigned in consequence
OF irreconcilable differences OF opinion
on the question OF Initiating peace me-
gotlations."
MADRID, July Ii. 10 p. NIT is as
serted that the United States makes the
following demands as conditions Of
peace:
NN iJDaGHSluA Vi Subo tL'AN
Porto Rico with port in the Canaries.
Second-An Indemnity OF e4s,0OO,0O0
(about $2IO,OOO,OOO).
Thlrd-The retention OF the Philip
pines as guarantee Of the payment OF
the indemnity.
These terms are regarded as impossi-
bic.
MADRID, July II. 0 a. m.-The news
papers OF this city openly discuss the
imminence OF the ministerial crisis, ow-
Ing to the attitude OF Senior GamazO.
The Official Correspondents confirms
the report Of the cabinet crisis.
The impartial says Of Sundays cabi-
net meeting: I'VE think Importance
should be attached to the fact that
Spain will reap great advantages in me-
gotIations for peace before Santiago and
Manila and, perhaps even Porto Rico,
are captured. as should the Americans
occupy those places their terms Will
naturally be harder"
The Impartial adds: at Is most
probable that the government will tel
egraph Captain General Blanco to this
effect, urging him to direct the opinion
OF the army towards this solution. On
General Blanco's reply depends wheth-
er the government commences negoti-
atoms Immediately without awaiting
the outcome of the situation at Santi-
ago."

AFFECTING SCENES

At the Landing OFths Spanish Prisoner
At roFtsmouth-CaptAin MOrOu's Tear.
faI AdIsu 10 the Men OF Hts Command.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 1.-THE
Spanish prisoners, who were brought to
this port in the auxiliary cruiser st.
Louis from Santiago. numbering Gs2 of
the men who formed part of the crew
Of Admiral Cervera's squadron are to-
night sleeping peacefully and In COM
paratlve comfort in the new barracks
erected for them on seavey's island,
Around them is guard OF 1875 marines.
The work OF debnrkatIon was accom-
pIIshed in Just two hours under the de
rection OF Colonel Forney.
1t was a pathetic sight from begin
ming, and such as would bring tears to
mauy eyes. The poor, wretched crea-
tures struggled up the hillside clad for
the most part In rags, some OF the men
being covered only with the fragments
of table cloth or a blanket, while 9TH
ers had on portions OF what was once q
uniform, When the men landed some OF
| them were so weak that they could not
stand and laid on the ground until
stretchers were brought and were car
ried by their comrades to the main
road. where they were placed on the
grass. Here the rays Of sunshine and
the cool refreshing breezes seemed to
strengthen them.
Many OF the prisoners had wounds
that were still unhealed and their heads
aud arms showed the effects OF the ter
rIble battle In which they fought.
One OF the most touching incidents Of
the day was the farewell Captain L.
Diaz MOrou. of the Crlstobai Colon, took
OF his crew Just before he went back to
the st. Louis.
Few who saw the tenderness with
which ne walked down the line and nf-
fectionateIy embraced each seaman as
II he was his son, could refrain from
tears. Captain Morou assisted Colonel
Fosney, OF the Marine corps In his la
bors as mastering officer. This work
took time, as each mans name and de-
scriptlon had TO be recorded, but at last
II was over and then Captain Morau
turned TO the American officer and ask
ed permission to say u few parting
words to his men. The request was
readily granted but Captain Morou, In
stead OF making a formal and eloquent
address to the long line, walked up to
the man at the head OF It, and taking
him warmly by the hand, tenderlV kiss
ed the grim sailor on the check. When
the men saw the action OF the commnn.
der, they wept as II their hearts would
break, and as the captain walked down
the line shaking each by the hand and
kissing each sunburned cheek, each
man threw his arms around his com.
mander's neck and gave him q most
hearty embrace.
As Captain Morou came TO the Colon's
marine guard, one OF the men, the cap
taln's orderly, in an outburst OF grief,
sprang from the ranks and threw his
arms around his captains neck and
wept like n child.
When, finally, the captain reached the
end OF the long line, he turned and In q
voice shaking with emotion. said few
words OF farewell to the crew as
whole, As he finished the half clad men
surrounded him, graspinK his arms aud
legs, all trying for one last embrace.

Interstate Commerce Commission Rem.
ders IN Important Decision.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The inter.
state commerce commission gives the
Chicago-St. Paul lines until March to
comply with the terms Of its decision
rendered in the Minneapolis rate dis.
elimination cases, but since it has been
decided that the powers of the com.
mission are subversive to those of the
courts, it is very probable that the de-
cision will not be complied with. The
lines affected by the decision are the
Milwaukee, Omaha, Burlington and
Minneapolis and St. Louis. The case
has been pending along time and was
brought by the chamber of commerce
of Milwaukee, charging the railroads
with giving Minneapolis discriminate
ing rates OH wheat and flour from
Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota
points. The commission decided that
Minneapolis is given undue and unreal
sonable preference and that the roads
have no authority to make higher
rate on wheat than on -four. This dc.
cision, however, will have no bearing
on any point in Northern Iowa or
Southern Minnesota divisions of the
Milwaukee road.
