WAR NOTES.

General Shafter. commanding the
frat army OF Cuban invasion, held s
! council OF war with Admiral Sampson
and General Garcia yesterday at Acer'
raderos, fifteen miles west of Santiago
de Cuba, at which the landing places
for the American troops were decided
upon. Garcia brought the news that
his men were completely equipped fol
effective warfare, and that the arms
and munitions sent by the steamer
Florida had been received. Part ofthe
troops, it is stated, will be landed at
Guantanamo bay, where the United
States marines are encamped. The
American military commander is NOV
ing cautiously and will take no step un-
til all is favorable for successful ie'
suit. The final attack on Santiago may
be delayed until next week to give the in
vaders an opportunity to recuperate
after their long voyage. 1t is expece
that General Shafter will assail the city
on the north and east, and that the in
surgents will move against it on the
west. AS the army appears near the
city the fleet will begin TO throw shells
into the upper harbor.
The troopships have remained about
20 miles of shore most Of the time since
their arrival This has been done in
order to avoid attacks from Spanish tor
pedo boats. The men are said to be
eager for action. The sending of rein
forcements to Gen. Shsfler will be hur-
ried. 1t is expected that $4,000 AmeIi-
can troops will be in Cuba by the first
week in July.
The latest figures in Washington show
that there are about II ,000Spanish troops
at Santiago and 10000 at Holguin, 100
miles distant. Gen. Garcia will try to
prevent the troops at Holgiun from
joining those at Santiago.
Cable communication with Guanta-
namo bay has been restored. One Of
the first Messages sent was an official
notice to Washington OF the arrival Of
the American troops.
The War Department is preparing
an army of more than 10000 men for
the invasion of Porto Rico. Plans
have been arranged for the transporta-
ton OF the expedition, which will be
composed Of infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery. A powerful siege gun, now at
Ybor City, Fla, will also be sent to
Porto Rico, under the direction of Brig
adier-General John l. Rogers.
The announcement was made at the
War Department yesterday that Maj.
Gen. Miles is to take active command
of the armies in the field, and that he
will accompany the first troops OF the
Porto Rican expedition.

MR.. CLEVELAND ON THE WAR.
Eg-President Cleveland in an address
at the graduating exercises of Law
rencevilie School, near Princeton, n.
j., yesterday said that the threatened
adoption of an imperial policy of ex.
pansion, conquest and foreign war was
great danger to the safety and princi-
Piles of true American citizenship, as he
understood them, and a complete de
parture from the mission Of this country.
"Never BEFORE" said he, "have we
been beset with temptations 80 danger
Gus. Soundness and safety OF true
American citizenship is eatened."
Mr.. Cleveland thinks no imperial
policy is needed nor alluring words f
conquest and expansion. The ex-
President spoke of the ''intoxication of
war" and the menace Of departing from
the true mis- sion of the United States.
Continuing he said
These considerations naturally lead NE to
counsel you against the danger of allowing
the bright dress aud gay trappi ogs which war
puts on to divert your attention from the
ugly features that belong 10 it as seen in the
light OF true American citizenship The
dsnger Of such diversion may arise from
restless enthusiasm, which is by no means
unsttractivc. or for our admiration for deeds
of valor which is national characteristic or
from the fascination Of dangerous adventures,
never found without bravery, or from the
love of the 81, ry OF successful battle, which is
almost an impulse of humanity, from
tendency to combativeness, which, if not al
together lovely and amiable, is regarded By
genuine Ans orleans with benevolent toera.
ton. 1t is difficult to deal With the question
of war at this time aud avoid misconsception
and Misrepresentation. But we are consider
ing American citizenship and endeayoring t
find its lest characteristics and how they can
be most effectively cultivated and securely
preserved From this standpoint var is
hateful thing. which we should shun and
avoid as antagonist: - the objects of our
national existence, as.ihrestsning demoraliza-
ton to our national character, and as olstruc-
tive to our national destiny. If you believe
this you should stand brsyely for your BELIEF,
even though a shower OF stupid calls may fill
the air II on account of this belief you are
called 'milksops' and towards, wanting peace
at any price, you will find yourself in pleas
ant comp 4nionship."
