THE SITUATION AT MADRID

 INC TO FRANCE FOR HELP.

Duke AImedovnr De Rio, However,
 Favors Germany as the Trump Card
 to Play-severity of the Censorship
 The Antagonism Which Has DeveI-
 oped Between the American and Cuban
 Troops Interests London.
 London, July 2O,-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says: Senor Sagasta prefers to solicit the assistance of France, but Duke Almedovar De Rio favors using Germany as the trump card to terminate war by seek ing her action against America in the Philippines. Spain naturally wishes to utilize the rivalry between France and Germany to further Spanish interests by abandoning the Philippines and avoiding the payment of a war indem- nifty.
 Owing to the severity of the censor- ship at Madrid, the London morning newspapers to-day are quite without Madrid dispatches except brief mes- ScSCo 5Cie ny way Ol rIdHCe. lIle Madrid papers themselves are without dispatches from Paris, London or Ha- vana. Even the Spanish provincial papers get nothing from the capital.
 The Madrilenes, it is reported, sus- pect that the protracted negotiations at Santiago de Cuba conceal some sort of jugglery, and it is also said that the government yields only a nominal control over Captain General Blanco, his attitude and that of his army being the chief obstacles to peace.
 The Washington correspondent of the Daily Telegraph asserts that President Mckinley yesterday (Tuesday) declar- ed that he expected no peace proposals from Spain until Havana had been taken. The morning papers comment upon the peculiar and interesting situa- tion developed by the antagonism be- tween the Americans and Cubans at Santiago.
 The Daily Chronicle expresses the hope that Commodore Schley has been falsely reported as talking about change in European frontiers. It adds: If the United States really intends to permit the incalculable error of send ing a fleet to Spain, the less 1t says about changes of frontier the better for us all.'

THE PORTO RICAN CAMPAIGN,
The Hitch in the Sailing-MlIes Now
 Probably on His Way.

Washington, July 19.-Because of a failure on the part of General Miles to receive the orders the president prepar- ed late yesterday afternoon to take against Porto Rico, that officer did not depart as was expected from Slboney. The mistake was soon corrected. how- ever. It is regarded as certain by the officials of the war department that General Miles and the first contingent of the expedition are now en route from Santiago to where a landing is to be made. Secretary Alger said tonight that he hoped General Miles with his forces from Cuba would get away to- night At o'clock tonight General Miles was still in Cuban waters, but so far as the war officials here are in- formed, the vanguard of the Porto Ri- can expedition was prepared to sail
 The war department exchanged sev- eral cable messages with General Miles during the late afternoon and early evening regarding the details of the expedition, but In none of his dispatch es did the general indicate the precise hour of his departure. The impression conveyed Is that he was awaiting the naval vessels which are to act as con- voys. It is stated that General Miles has no intention to await the arrival of the transports from the United States before going to Porto Rico. It is, in fact, his purpose, with such troops as he now has, to break ground in Por- to Rico. Arrangements for the depart ure of troops from this country which are to comprise the greater part of the utmost vigor.
 Orders to Sampson.
 Admiral Sampson has received final orders from the navy department as to the part the American fleet is to take in the campaign against Porto Rico. They are based on the view that the campaign is essentially an army move ment, the duties of the navy being to lend every support and assistance to the land operations. The admiral is in structed to aid the army movements by dispatching conveys when requested and by coveing the landing of troops. As there is no Spanish fleet in San Juan harbOr or other Porto Rican ports the navy has a limited field of operation. The reduction of the harhor fortifica- tions will be the main work, but this and all other work of the fleet will be supplementary to the operations con-
