Sampson to be Ordered to Move Inn
mediately on the Island,
So 1t Is Said.
SCHLEYTO STAND GUARD
At the Mouth of Santiago de Cuba Harbor nean-
while, to Keep Cervera In-Why Uncle Sam
Hankers For Porto Rico r1uch.

Chicago. May B.-A special to the
News from Washington saysI Porto Rico
is to be taken. The president has decided
that Sampson shall Immediately move on
that island while Schley guards Cervera-
At least 10000 troops will be sent and
another army IS at the same time to en-
ter Cuba. the transports now being ready.
From a cabinet officer 1t is learned that
the haste in ordering troops and ships to
Porto Rico is owing to the fact that the
president has learned that the powers
are preparing to ask that Spain be per-
1nitted to withdraw from Cuba and allow
peace to be declared
This intimation came direct from Eu-
rope. The president wants to be able to
say: Eyes; Spain may withdraw. That's
why we made war. But We will hold
Porto Rico and the Philippines"
Without a dissenting voice the cabinet
decided that the greatest possible haste
should be made in the invasion. General
Miles reported that Spain now has 1900
troops in Porto Rico and that he thought
the United States should send at least
20 900 troops there The secretary OF war
had a conference with the president and
Il was decided that Sampson should be
sent straight back to San Juan. The
president feared that when Spain lost her
feet she would sue for peace before the
United States had the island. He said it
would be much better to have Porto Rico
when negotiations began.
Secretary Alger said that the army was
ready to go to Cuba at any time. When
he returned to his office he sent for AS
sistant Secretary Meikeljohn and General
Miles and notified them Of the call for
5000 men and that the president asked
for an immediate movement of troops to
both islands.
Assistant Secretary Meikeljehn has
charge of the transports and he said he
was ready to begin The first men to be
sent to Cuba viii occupy high and
healthy lands and remain until the gen.
eral occupation of the island begins. AS
sistant Secretary Meikeljohn and General
Miles will hasten the movement of troops
with the greatest possible speed.

CABLE CUTTING IN CUBAN PORT

Key West Fla, May A.-1:5O p. NJ
The United States auxiliary tug Wam-
patug today brought in story of a sharp
skirmish og Santiago de Cuba last Wed
nesdey The tug, with the United States
auxiliary cruiser st. Louis, went into the
Santiago channel to cut the cable. While
the vessels were engaged in the work
they were fired upon by the shore bat
teris The st. Louis returned the fire and
a lively fusilade ensued for about half an
hour. The Wampatuck eventually sue
ceeded in cutting the cable. None OF the
Spanish shots reached either boat, while
neither of them, in turn, can boast of
having inflicted any damage upon the
enemy.
From Santiago the boats proceeded to
Guantanamo, the Wampatuck going in
about four hundred yards from shore to
cut the cable there, the st. Louis lying out
of range. The shore batteries again
opened fire and the ST. Louis signalled
the tug to come out, which she did with
out having cut the cable at that point.
This adventure was equally as harmless.
Accounts of it reached here today in
grossly exaggerated form, including a
report that the cruiser and the little tug
had silenced the batteries on shore.
