Washington, June 19.-The return of
Gen. Miles to Washington from Tampa
had an inspiring effect upon the war
preparations. The general had busy
day, calling upon Secretary Alger,
consulting the chiefs of the staff de-
partnents and giving the department
the benefit Of his observations at
Tampa. Secretary Alger said that he
was entirely satisfied with the condi-
tion of the troops as reported by Gen.
Miles, ard wished he had the means
to provide every one of the volunteer
soldiers a daily surf bath such as was
enjoyed by the men at Tampa. Gen.
Miles is yet to have a conference with
the president. In the meantime the
plans are moving forward steadily for
sending further expeditions both to
Puerto Rico and Cuba. There is little
likelihood that Il second expedition OF
5000 men to reinforce Gen. Shafter at
Santiago will leave within the next
few days as has been reported. The
necessity of sending these additional
forces is questioned by high military
officials, and, moreover, the
Means of Transporting
such a force are not available. The
main consideration just ut present is
the equipment Of an expedition OF
greater Dimensions than any hereto
fore discussed, with Puerto Rico as the
objective point. a month ago the mil
itary authorities were satisfied that 4
small force would be sufficient to occu-
py Puerto Rico, as the Spanish force
there did not exceed 5000 or 5000
men. Now, however, the Spanish gar
rsons have been so reinforced and the
defences strengthened that it is be-
lieved a much larger invading army
will be required. Moreover, the Of
ficals were satisfied on learning that
the Cadiz feet had sailed. that the
ships would go to Puerto Rico, rather
than to Cuba. if they crossed to this
side. 1t was %pointed out that this
move would be the natural strategic
one for the Spanish commander to
take, as there was still something left
for them to save in Puerto Rico. Gen.
Miles would only speak in the most
general way as to the
Prospective Army Movements.
When asked as to the recent reports
that large bodies of troops were about
to be concentrated at Florida points
with a view to starting further armies
of invasion to Cuba, Puerto Rico and
elsewhere, he said: "The military
campaign is proceeding steadily to-
ward it's complete execution. The
sending of one expedition or another
is but a detail, a single part of a gen
eral plan of campaign. OF course it Is
more or less right to say troops are
about to be forwarded, and that exDe-
ditions will be equipped and sent. That
almost goes without saying, for when
we entered upon war an aggressive
campaign was formulated and ap-
proved, which contemplated the send
ing of expeditions and their co-opera-
ton toward the successful prosecution
Of the war. Just when these exDedi-
tions will move and how many men
will accompany them it is not desira-
BILE to say now, but it is enough to
state that the campaign now entered
upon is to be prosecuted with the ut
most vigor until the end of the war;"
