with shipping companies concerning
the transportation of Spanish troops
surrendered at Santiago. Bids, which
he had previously advertised for, were
opened at the army building in New
York today.
Col. Hecker returned to Washington
this evening. Tonight he had a con-
ference at the war department with
Secretary Alger, Quartermaster Gen
eral Ludington and Adjt. Gen. Corbin.
The bids of the several companies were
considered, that of the Spanish Trans
Atlantic company finally being accept
ed, as, in all respects, it was regarded
as the best made. On the basis Of
24,000 enlisted men and 1000 officers, it
will cost the government $535,00O to
transport the prisoners.
The ships will fly the Spanish colors,
and will be manned probably entirely
by Spanish crews.
1t was remarked tonight as one of
the curious developments of the war,
that the United States should enter
into friendly contract with a COM
pany, many of whose vessels are
auXiliaries to the Spanish navy, and
some of which have been captured or
destroyed by the navy Of the United

It Is scarcely necessary to say they

ity this evening tnat 1t is the earnest
desire of Gen. Brooke that the entire
First corps from the expeditionary
force going from here. This would
mean a departure from Chickamauga
OF about $4,000 volunteers. The infer
erce is that the war department. is con-
sidering whether 1t will be necessary or
not to draw so heavily upon the forces
at Camp Thomas it being a question as
to whether so many men would be
needed in addition to the re giments now
under orders to go from other points
The minute this point is settled it will
be definitely known just what regi-
ments are to be included in the force.
Advices are expected from Washing
ton at once, and upon their receipt it Is
probable that immediate orders VIII be
issued to begin the movement. There
is still some question as to whether the
corps will go as organized. There are
some fine regiments in the Third corps
that are thoroughly drilled and
equipped, and it is not improbable that
scme of these will be included in the
force being submitted for regiments
that have all along been identified with
the First corps.

GEN. LINAREs CONDEMNED.
Shifted His Responsibility Upon
Gen. TOral.

SANTIAGO, July 20.-The Spanish
soldiers here say that our men fought
like tigers, but they insist that more
lives were lost on either side than was
warranted by the conditions of the bat
tie of July 1. They assert that our
troops could have walked into the city
without having shot fired at them,
as there were no soldiers left within
the walls at that time.
Gen. Linares cabled to Madrid on
July 8, before Gen. Skaters demand
for the surrender Of Santiago, a long
message, setting forth the inability Of
the city to hold out against an enemy
superior in numbers, with the Span
iards dying Of starvation and demor-
allied by the loss of the fleet. He urg-
ed the government for the sake of hu-
manity to offer to capitulate, but add
ing that, If ordered to remain to die
like rat in a trap, he would do so,
as his soldiers were doing their duty,
although realizing that mistake had
been made. Somehow information in
regard to the message leaked out, and
the Spanish officers. here are loud in
their condemnation of Gen. Linares,
whom they accused of fainthearted-
ness throughout the war to the extent
of, under the plea Of slight wound,
laying the mantle of the shame of sur
render upon Gen. ToraFs shoulders in
stead Of facing the disgrace himself.

known, however, in addition, that the
president himself has restrained Gen.
Miles to the extent of adjuring him
in earnest terms not to commit the
folly Of starting for Porto Rico with
out the most complete preparation. The
government has profited by the les
sons taught by the Santiago expedition.
Aside from the actual loss of life that
might be expected to result from a
badly calculated start, it is realized
that our relations with some of the
European powers would be- in a small
measure at least, impaired by the ad-
verse moral effect created by anything
approaching defeat for the American
arms at this stage of the war. There
fore 1t is certain that, so far as the
department can prevent, Gen. Miles
soldiers will not run short of food or
tents to protect them from the tropical
rains, nor of the means of transporta-
tion that were SO deficient at the be-
ginning of the Santiago movement.
CAUSE OF DELAY.
Gen. Miles reported this afternoon
that he had with him ten transports,
which, it is presumed, have aboard
several thousand soldiers, although at
least two Of them are filled with equip
ment. The men aboard the ships are
suffering from delay, precisely as did
the soldiers who lay in Tampa bay be-
fore the departure of the Shafter ex-
pedition. Inquiry made at the navy
department to ascertain where the de-
lay had arisen in securing conveys,
was met with the statement that the
orders to Admiral Sampson in this
matter were very general. He was
simply directed by the department to
furnish convoy, and it was assumed
that he would confer with Gen. Miles
as to the number and character Of ves-
sells required for that purpose. AS the
campaign from a naval point of view
is to be principally land movement,
the naval officers do not believe a very
extensive convoy is necessary
According to the calculations at the
navy department Admiral Dewey's fleet
at Cavite should now be reinforced by
the coast defense vessel, Monterey,
which, with her tender and collier, the
Brutus, has now been about twenty
days out from Honolulu. With the ad-

WASHINGTON, July 20..-Secretary
Alger said tonight that he expected
Gen. Miles, one brigade of infantry and
some artillery would leave Cuba i'm
mediately, under convoy of a strong
naval squadron, for the invasion of
Porto Rico. He expressed the hope
and belief that the troops were already
en- route to Porto Rico. Most of them
had been on board the transports for
several days, and the situation was be-
coming trying for them.
Secretary Alger said there had been
no delay in the embarkation of the
troops, and that so far as the war de-
partment and Gen. Miles were con-
cerned, the expedition had been In
readiness to proceed to Porto Rico for
several days. Orders were sent today
to Admiral Sampson to start at once,
with his fleet, for the landing place in
Porto Rico, which had been determined
upon by the war authorities. No infor-
nation could be obtained at the war
department tonight as to whether the

NEW YORK, July 2O.-A Kingston.
Jamaica, cable says that Cubans ar
irving from Siboney report Gen. Gar
cia dead.
The last word directly received frcm
Garcia by the Cuban junta in this
city was dated before Santiago, July
II. 1t was a cable message, and stated
briefly that he was well, and that the
progress of events was satisfactory. At
that time Garcia was to the west Of
Santiago, guarding the approaches
from expected reinforcements to the
city.
Horatio S. Reubens, counsel of the
junta, when given the information con-
tanned in the dispatch, said this after
noon that news of Garcia's death had
not been received at the junta, but at
best communication with the Cuban
generals in the field was irregular.
IT am greatly surprised" he said,
"but do not find it hard to credit the
dispatch. When the city fell, his duty
there was at an end. But it appears
the attack on Manzanillo was then
planned. Manzanillo lies to the west,
and 1t is, therefore, probable that
Shafter detailed Garcia's command to
cut off re-inforcements there. Hol-
guin lies near Manzanillo and was gar
risoned by a considerable force, as the
American general must have known.

insurgents as one of their most in
trepid soldiers. In the ten years war,
his skill, bravery and energy won him
continued promotion until he received
generals star. In action in 1874, Gar
cia was surrounded by Spanish troops.
Rather than surrender he shot himself
through the chin, with suicidal intent.
He recovered, and was sent to Spain. He
was released in 1877, when the peace Of
Zenjon was declared. Garcia at once
set out for New York and organized an
expedition to Cuba. He landed in San
tiago de Cuba, but was taken a pris-
oner a second time. He eluded the
vigilance Of the prison guards in Spain,
one night, after a fifteen years impris-
onment, and fled to England. Garcia
was the promoter of the Hawkins ex-
pedition, which left this city In Janu-
ary, 1896, with 800 men and large
quantity of supplies and ammunition.

bands playing and 10000 people cheer
ing, the first expedition to follow Gen.
Miles TO Porto Rico got away from
here at 7 o'clock this evening. The ex-
pedition is under command of Maj.
Gen. ]. II. Wilson and will, when COM

regiments and two companies of the
Sixth Illinois. The first named regi-
ments are on the transports Grand
Duchess and No. 80, respectively, and
they are at sea. No. 81, carrying the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania and the Illinois
men, are in the stream, and will sail
early tomorrow morning. Each of the
ships carries large quantity of sup
plies, and on the No. 20 there are 1000
head of mules and the wagon train Of

The scene which accompanied the Ge-

was one of indescribable enthusiasm.
Practically the entire population of the

offing shortly after sundown with
thirty-four additional Spanish officers,
prisoners of the United States, aboard.
The tender Of the Harvard soon trans
ferred them to the shore, where an af-
fecting scene took place. The new ar
rivals were embraced tenderly by their
brott er officers, who arrived last Satur-
day, and there was hardly a dry eve
among the men as they greeted one an
other. There was supper served i'm
mediately after the arrival of the
Spaniards, and the meal took on the
proportions Of feast of joy at each
others company. Like the former ar
rivals the new contingent is very
short" on clothing, ard many of them
were dressed in the white duck fatigue
uniform of the American sailor.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

War department was agreeably sur
prised at the number of bids received
in answer to it's proposals for trans
porting the Spaniards now at Santiago
to Cadiz The terms offered by some
of the companies were also regarded as
very reasonable and as it is desirable
to terminate the present condition of
affairs at Santiago at the earliest pos
sible moment, is is expected the award
will be made Immediately. The bid
from the Spanish steamship company
was surprise to the department Of
ficials and at least one OF them thought
that 1t might be good policy for the
government to avail itself of this offer.
