WASHINGTON, July 14-The war de.

General Miles and General Shafter.
At the same time the navy department
received dispatches from the feet off
Santiago. The contents of these sew.
eral dispatches were not made public
up to noon. They had the effect, how
ever, of arousing officials, both mill
tary and naval, to unusual activity, and
coupled with this was an undercurrent
OF apparent anxiety throughout official
quarters The advices speedily led to
war council at the White House, at
which Secretaries Long and Alger, and
the members OF the war board, Admiral
Sicard, Captain Mahan and Captain
Crowninshield were present. Adjntant
General Corbin also was at the White
House. Before Secretary Alger went
to the White House he had confer
ence with Surgeon General Stern berg,
who also had received dispatches from
the surgical corps near Santiago.

Although no word Of any OF the dis
patches was given ont, those in . posi-
ton to speak intelligently of them said
.thatany anxiety which might exist
was not due to a material change in
the military situation, but rather to
the severe conditions surrounding our
soldiers as a result Of the rainy season,
and the terrific storms Of the last few
days. To what extent our troops were
affected the authorities would not dis
closesas they desire to avoid unneces-
sary apprehension Although the dis
patches were thus guarded. it was
stated positively that no fighting was
in progress up to the time OF the last
report. It was also stated that the
fears that the enemy might secretly
draw eff some OF their forces 20 IN.

shat deputation Of officers chosen by
che army had begged him to convey to
tho government their protests against
any propositions for peace, claiming
that nothing can justify cessation OF
botiities at present.
Continuing, General Blanco says:
.The army has only just come into
action, and thus far cannot be said to
have suffered a reverse, although OPP
posed numerically to q far stronger
force. The deputation declares that so
long as it is not conc,uslvely proved
that the troops are incapable of succes-
fully defending Cuba. Spain cannot
talk for peace without dishonoring the

Iuban volunteers are even more VIC

The Tribune from Washington says:
The actual d-.rar ure OF Commodore
WaJson's rail.ng squadron for the
coast of SPAN. winch the naval author
tiles think will occur about the end of
the present week, indicates sufficiently
the complete abandonment of any in.
tention to beslege Havana in the next
three or four months and confirms the
impression that no extended military
operations VIII BIZ begun in Cuba after
the capture OF Santiago. The opera.
tions of the vessels during the in
vestment of Santiago and the
tedious delays have convinced
the authorities that Havana
cannot be captured with less than
100, 900 men, with one Of our naval
forces in the Atlantic. Ordinarily one
of the best fortified places in the world,
Havana has been made almost impreg-
nable during the past two months by
the interchangeable efforts of Blanco, who
has surrounded it with entrsnchments.
in addition to the new batteries he has
mounted along the coast. With the
naval vessels attached to the Atlantic
squadron our vessels would be power
less against Havana, and it would be
impossible to take the city with less
than six months campaign, which
would be ont of the question before
midwinter, on account of the horrible
climatic conditions.
The Porto Rico Campaign.
Promptly upon the fall of Santiago,
it is announced the expedition to Porto
Rico is to be undertaken, with General
Miles III command of three divisions
aggregating more than 200 men. He
will have the cooperation of Admiral
Simpsons heaviest ships in the assault
on San Juan, and it is his intention to
clear the entire island of Spanish troops
with every energy at his command.
HIS entire force will include practically
all the regular and volunteer troops
now at Santiago, the Cnbans and inn
munes being left to hold that province.
