Direct Communication With Gen,
Miles to BE Established.
1t is expected by the officials of the War
Department that the second expedition
from Newport News for Porto Rico will
sail within about twenty hours. Upon the
arrival of his detachment Gen. Miles's
force in Porto Rico viii be increased by
fully $500 men, the troops being those in
the brigade of Gen. Fred Grant compris-
ing the First and Third Kentucky, the
One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania and the Fourth
Ohio. The men will sail on the trans
ports Alma. Rio Grande and Hudson.
Several other transport vessels are on
mediateiy after their arrival the remain
ing troops of Gen. Coppinger's Fourth
Army Corps will embark for Porto Rico.
A telegram from Gen. Shafter was re-
ceiyed at the War Department as follows:
The Seguranca, Knickerbocker, Sara
toga and Iroquois leave here tomorrow
night Qast nighD for Tampa. The Miami
and Matteawan have only forage on
board. They will be unloaded next. They
have been retained until near the last on
account of their condensing 1900 gallons
of water each per day, without which the
fleet could not have gotten along"
When the remaining troops at Tampa
embark for Porto Rico it is possible that
Maj. Gen. Coppinger, commanding the
Government troops, will embark with
them. Permission has been given to him
to engage in the Porto Rican campaign
if he wished to do so but it has been as
sumed heretofore that on account of his
advanced age and approaching retirement
at the front. This telegram was sent to
Gen. Coppinger yesterday by Adjt. Gen.

The War Department will look for dis
patches from Gen. Miles today sent di-
rectly from the Ponce office Col.
James Allen, of the signal corps, left St
Thomas Friday with operators and in
struments for the Ponce cable Office BY
this time he has probably arrived, and,
as the installation of the Instruments will
be an easy matter, the War Department
has no doubt that direct communication
with Cen Miles will be had within a few
hours.
In answer to persistent rumors to the
contrary, it was officially stated az the
War Department last night that Gen.
F'itzhugh Lees command will not be or
dered to Porto Rico unless the present
plan of campaign undergoes change.

into the town Immediately and put a sem
try at each foreign consulate. He also
detailed detachment-of soldiers to guard
the roads Gen Wilson and Gen. Miles
agreed that the conditions of the surren-
der relating to the movement of troops
were not binding.
Despite the arrival of the troops the
celebration in the town went on. All the
Spanish stores were closed, but the Porto
Ricans and the foreigners kept open
house. Women and men alike were all
dressed in their finest attire.
Gen. Wilson detailed Col. Roy L. Stone
to look out for the railroads Col. Stone
found an engine disabled and a humber
of cars burning. He Immediately hauled
up the railroad officials and gave them
an hour in which to put things in order
under the penalty of arrest. Under this
stimulus things were put in running order
very shortly and train was started for
Guanica to bring the troops from there.
MiIes's Proclamation
At 10 o'clock Gen. Miles issued his proc
iamation, which had a good effect.
After the issuance of this proclamation
the owners of the newspapers of Ponce
called upon Gen. Wilson and asked him
if their papers were to be stopped Gen.
Wilson told them to go ahead and print
the newspapers.
Shortly afterward Gen. Wilson re-
ceive telephone call from the prison
The call was from the mayor of the city
who wanted to get out He had sung
Yankee Doodle" the afternoon before
while the Spaniards were armor-plating
and had been clapped into jail and left
there. Gen. Wilson ordered his instant re-
lease.
He also learned that there were many
other political prisoners in the Jail and or
dered their release, too. The only pris-
oners who were kept in jail were those
imprisoned on criminal charges.
Invited to See Officials.
In the afternoon Gen. Miles and his
stan were invited to the city hall to see
the city officials. The city hall was sur
rounded by a vast crowd of people. and
band was stationed in the park. When
Gen. Miles and his staff appeared upon
the balcony of the city hall and took

The American General Makes a
Statement.
OUR COMMANDER INDORSED
The Cuban Leader Was Invited to
the Ceremony of Surrender Mt
SantiagO-His Course Has Affected
That of the United States Toward
the ReyOiutionfsts.

The first official statement from Gen.
Shafter concerning the trouble between
himself and Garcia. and the dissatisfac-
ton said to exist among the Cuban SOL
diery, was received by the War Depart
ment yesterday. Following is the text
of 1t:
Santiago de Cuba, July 20.
Secretary of War. Washington:
Have the Sun OF Saturday, July %, In
which comments are made as TO my treat
ment of Gen. Garcia. / desire to say
that Gen. Garcia was invited by me per-
sonally to go into the city of Santiago,
at the time / entered It, but he declined
upon the ground that the Spanish civil
officers were left in power. 1t was fully
explained to him that these officials were
continued in power only until it was con-
venient to change them for others. Gen.
Garcia's assistance to me has been purely
voluntary on his part and he was told at
the beginning that L did not exercise any
control over him except such as he chose
to give. The trouble with Gen Garcia
was that he expected to be placed in
command at this place. In other words,
that we would turn the city over to him
I explained to him fully that we were at
war with Spain and that the question of
Cuban independence could not be consid-
cred by me. Another grievance was that
finding that several thousand men march,
ed in without opposition from Gen Gar
cia, I extended my own lines in front of
him and closed up the gap, as 1 saw that
had to depend on my own men for any
effective investment of the place.
'SIAFTER, Major General"
The message just quoted was promptly
laid before the President and given de-
liberate consideration. Gen. Shafter is
upheld by the Administration and his de-
partment in the course he has taken.
Officials of rank are reluctant to comment
upon the generals statement, but what
ever confidence may have been placed in
the Cubans as responsible allies is dis
PEELED If further operations in the island
are necessary, the revoiutionists will not
be given the opportunities they apparent
iy valued so lightly il the Santiago cam
paign.
What Garcia may do in the future gives
me Administration but little concern. 1t
ID not considered likely that he will be
iilterierad with in any operations he may
choose to pursue alone against the Span
iards. unless his movements conflict with
the Anerlcan plan Of campaign, in which
case halt wouiu be called.
