VIM. Astor Chanler, the well-known
millionaire, has departed from New
York with three companions with the
avowed intention of joining the forces
of Gen. Gomez and fighting Spaniards.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Porto Rico, and it is being enforced in
a tyrannical manner. Crowds of peo-
pie are leaving for the interior, and
the capital is almost deserted by the
civilian population. The military au-
thorities are most actively engaged in
preparing for the defense of the island.
Americans are without protection and
in danger Food prices are rising fast.

TO TAKE PORTO RICO.
SIMPSONS Largest Vessels Sail for That
Purpose.

SPANS Atlantic fleet is not to be al
lowed to reach Porto Rico or to APP
proach the coast of the United States.
Rear Admiral Sampson has perfected
plans for meeting the enemy on the
high seas and giving battle at time
and place of his own choosing. The
large fighters of SIMPSONS squadron,
the New York, Indiana, Iowa, Puritan
and Mayfiower were withdrawn from
the Cuban blockading feet and coaled
up heavily at Key West, after which
they sailed eastward at full speed, APP
parently for Porto Rico, either to de-
stroy or to occupy the coaling station
as naval base before the Spanish
squadron arrives, and then put to sea
and try to engage the Cape Verde fleet.
Meanwhile the smaller vessels of the
North Atlantic squadron are ample to
maintain the blockade. Capt. Converse
of the Montgomery will direct them.
Samps, ms warships sailed prepared
for an unusually long cruise. Their
magazines are overlooking with am
munition. They will be in fit condi-
ton to round up the Cape Verde fleet
next week if it be that the Spanish
warships are coming to Porto Rico at
all. 1t is reported that on the way to
Porto Rico Admiral Sampson will stop
Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba. 1t is
believed that any repairs to the fortifi-
cations at Matanzas which the Span
iards have made since the recent bonn.
bardment will be knocked to pieces.
Then the fleet may go around to San
tiago on the outskirts of which Garcia
is pressing, and destroyed the fortified
tions there. After that the warships
are expected to pick up the Oregon
the Marietta and the Nichtheroy (now
named Buffalo,, which are on their
way from Rio Janeiro, and go back to
Porto Rico, the taking OF which is now
considered military necessity.
