MOVE ON PORTO RICO.
FIRST EXPEDITION. UNDER GEN
ERAL MILES, HAS SAILED.
Thirty Thousand Troops Will be Thrown
Into Porto Rico, Which VIII Soon
be Followed by More-Army
to be ap Invincible One.

Washington, July 19.-After three
days consultation Between Secretary
Alger and General Brooke, during
which there was frequent communion
ton with General Miles at Siboney, tho
details of the Porto Rican expedition
were perfected and the expedition it
self gotten under way.
! General Miles, with some artillery and
troops, are sailing for Porto Rico on
the Yale, to be followed quickly by an
army of about 10000 men
There are some notable differences in
the plans for this expedition and those
for the stately naval pageant that
sailed away from Tampa under General
Skaters command to attack Santiago
First, there will be practically no naval
conveys. The navy department has
declared that they are unnecessary;
that there is not Spanish warship
in, the West Indies that dare thrust its
bow out of port. In the second place,
the expedition does not start from one
point, but will be DIVIDED among sew
eral ports, thus proven ting the tremen-
dous congestion that was encountered
at Tampa in the effort to start the big
fleet. Lastly, there will be no effort
made to get the ships away together,
but the transports will be allowed to
find their own way to their destination
without concerted movements.
General Miles leads the way. He had
been promised by the president that
he should go to Porto Rico. and the
promise was redeemed when the Yale
headed from Siboney for Porto Rico,
500 miles distant
General Brooke will be the senior
officer in General Miles command, and
upon him will fall the responsibility for
the execution of the details of his SUI
perior's plans.
1t is estimated that General Miles
should arrive on the night of July 20
at the point selected for the landing,
and that he will hoist the American
flag at once over Porto Rican soil. The
point chosen for his landing is kept
secret, as the general will land before
the full body of the expedition is at
hand, and it is consequently not desir-
able that the enemy should be enabled
to send superior force to meet him.

New Yellow Fever Cases.

Washington, July 16.-In report to

Greenleaf of General Miles staff, I'M
der date of Siboney, is the following:
only twenty-three new cases of
yellow fever and three deaths reported
within the past twenty-four hours.
Type of disease is mild. Camp site
moved whenever practicable. Have
taken vigorous sanitary precautions to
prevent spread of disease"

launches from the New York, Brook
Ign and Vixen entered the harbor this
morning and examined the batteries,
the wrecks of the Merrimac and the
sunken Spanish Cruiser Reina Mer-
cedes and the torpedo firing station.
They discovered six Spanish merchant
steamers and one small gunbo in the
harbor, and a prize crew was placed
upon the latter.
This afternoon the torpedoes we're
taken up or exploded, after which the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas en-
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded in the city. The warships
may not enter the harbor for several
days, probably not until after the ar
rangements have been completed for
transporting the Spanish prisoners to
Spain. Nearly all the American men
of-war are now in Guam tanamo bay

preparing to go to Spain, and several
vessels are preparing for the expedition

Madrid, July 16.-The Official Ga

I rarily suspending throughout the Span

as guaranteed by the constitution. The
decree adds that the government will
render an account to parliament
of the use it may make of this measure.
The publication of the decree is gen.
orally accepted as being convincing
proof that Spain is now ready to sue
for peace and that negotiations 10 that
effect are actually in progress. The
government wishes to have full power
to suppress evidences of disorder or re-
bellion which may appear. The Car
lists are furious and are sure to create
trouble.
One minister expressed the convic-
ton that official overtures for peace
will be made before Sunday, and there
Is reason to believe that France has
offered her services to Spain aud that
Spain has drawn up conditions for
peace which offer base of negotia-
lion.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace, but that 1T
must be an honorable peace, as Spain
deserves. The army is anxious to re-
sist to the last. but the government
cannot consent to such useless sacri-
dee. Had we our fleet the situation
would be very different.

The general public takes favorable
view of the suggestion that the powers

Of peace, but it is said, contrary to the
reports current, that France has not !.
