General shafter Explains to Them the Situation. but They Can-
 not See It That Way.
AMERICANS TROOPS MOVE TO HIGH GROUND.
Fever Cases Are Diminishing and a Brighter Hope Is Entertained. General Wheeler's Brigade
 Free From Sickness.

Copyrighted. 1s9S by the Associated Press,
 Santiago de Cuba, July IS, p. m., via Kingston, Jamaica, July 20.-Stren- uous efforts to prevent the spread of in- fectious diseases among American troops in front of Santiago were made as soon as the city surrendered. For the past 36 hours soldiers have been sent to the hills north of the city where new camps have been established. Everything possible is being done to improve the sanitary conditions of camps, especially in the case of troops which are expected to take part in tEe expedition to Porto Rico.
 Two immune regiments from New Orleans and Mobile are expected daily, and upon their arrival they will be sent to the city, forming the American gar rison force which will remain there
 The physical condition of the troops is not considered serious, now that the number of cases of fever are growing less.
 General Wheeler's cavalry division is practically free from sickness and will probably be allowed to go to Porto Rico.
 X fact, which has impressed more on the American officers and men, IS the increasing strained relations between the Americans and General Garcia's Cuban soldiers. The situation has now reach ed the point where there is practically no communication between tne armies and their relations border on those of hostility rather than relations which one would suppose should exist between allies.
 On Friday last Castillo, brother of General Deutrius Castillo, went to General Shafter's headquarters i'll order to ascertain the cause. "Why is San- tiago to remain i'll the hands of our ene- mies?" he asked
 es.rhe Spaniards are not our enemies, " replied General Shafter. 'We are fight ing the soldiers of Spain, but we have no desire to despoil her citizens. No Cuban will be allowed to enter the city nor will any American soldier. The government of the city is 8 matter for the people to decide. When the American army leaves it, 1 presume it will be turned over to you, butnot until then"
 Castillo, who came direct from Gen. Garcia's camp, did not attempt to con- ceal his chagrin. General Shafter Sat urday morning, sent an invitation to General Garcia to attend the ceremony of raising the American flag over Santi- ago. but the Cuban General showed his resentment by sending q reply which amply confirmed the course which he and his ragged ignorant soldiers have followed during the weeks of hard fight ing and campaigning which have re- suited in the fall of Santiago. He de- clined the invitation and said he hated the Spaniards, and added that be did not want to be where any of them were. Since that time the Cubans have re- mained in their camp, eating American rations, and our troops have had no communication with them.

MUST STOP WHEN
 REQUESTED BY DEWEY
4 German wsrshlp Fired at and Made to Stop bY Dewex's Dispatch Boat
 at Manila Bay.

London, July 20.--The Hong Kong correspondent of The Daily Mail says:
 United States Consul Wildman in- forms me that as the German cruiser Irene was passing Mariveles, off Manila, the other day, the United States gun boat Hugh McCulloch was sent after her to ask her to stop
 As the Irene refused to obey shell was sent across her bow and a small boat went to discover what she was do ing. The German admiral protested and insisted that German ships had 2 right to enter the harbor withcnt being searched, claim which Admiral Dewey declined to recognize.
 It is reported that Admiral Von Died reichs, who is in command of the Ger man European squadron at Manila, in- teryiewed Captain Chichester, of the British cruiser Immortallite, as to what he would GO if the Germans interfered with the bonn bardment of Manila.
 Captain Chichester replied that only Admiral Dewey and himself knew that.
 The United States Boston left Manila bay on July 8 for Cape Engaro at the northeast extremity of the island of Luzon to meet the American expedition.

4 Foreign Diplamat Says the spanish and American Generals Could
 Talk For Peace.

Washington, July 20. - One of the ablest members of the diplomatic corps in Washington, the ambassador Of a continental power, suggests that If Spain or tho United States were desir- ous of inaugurating peace movement, an easy and effective means Of so doing was now at hand, without recourse to a foreign intermediarv. Thi he, point ed out, could be done through the Amer ican and Spanish generals at Santiago. who during the recent days have been brought into close communication con- corning the details of the surrender of Santiago.

within'I0 days

The entire body of troops at Tampa will be taken. numbering about i3 .o0o men and inc luding lot of heavy and light artillery under command of Gen Rodgers. The expedition wi! be Dar. ticularly strong with artillery. as some of that ar Santiago commanded by Gen Randolph is to be drawn npon. The Tampa troops are known as the Fourth corps under Major General Coppinger. comprising the Second division under Brigadier General Simon Snyder.
 The part which the navy is to ta ke in the assault against Porto Rico has been fully matured. It is the general under. standing that the navy will rely mainly on armored ships for the bombardment of San Juan as the big battleships and monitors afford the best means of offen. slye warfare, while their armor belts protect them from such fire as the San Juan batteries can bring to bear. The Qualifications there are much like those at Santiago. with Morro castle at the entrance of fhe harbor and number of lesser fortifications leading up to the city.
 Itis expected that the whole expe. dition will be under way within the next four days
 It has been decided to retain General shafter's brigade at Santiago for an in- definite period.

Thirty Thousand Troops, Mostly From Chiekamauga and Tampa, Will
 Be Sent al Once.
GENERAL MILES WILL sa3s
 a fa NDTNG.
He Has Gone 10 the Place Where He Will Hoist the Stars and
 Stripes Quick Work Is Looked For.

Washington, July 20.--After three days consultation between tho presi- dent, Secretary Niger and General Brooke, during which there was fre- Qaent communication with General Miles at Siboney, the details of the Por- to Rican expedition were perfected, and the expedition itself was gotten under way, General Miles, with some artillery and troops. sailing yesterday for Porto Rico on the converted cruiser Yale, to ba followed quickly by an army of about s0,000 men There are some notable differences in the plan for this expedi- tiOn aud for the stately naval pageant that sailed away from Tampa under General Shafter's command to attack Santiago. First, there will be practical ly no naval conveys, the navy depart ment having declared that they are un- necessary; that there is not Spanish warship in the West Indies that dares thrust it's bow out of port. Tn the sec ond place. the expedition does not start from one point, but will be divided among several ports, thus preventing the tremendous con. gestion that was encountered at sgsmpa in the effort 10 start the big fleet. Lastly there will be no effort made 70 get the ships away together, but the transports will be allowed to find their own way to their destination without concerted movements. Gen. Brooke will be the senior officer i'll Miles command and upon him will fall the re- sponsibility for the execution of the de- tails Of his superior's plans.
 It is estimated that General Miles should arrive by Thursday night at the point selected for the landing and will hoist she American flag at once over Porto Rican soil. The point chose for his landing is kept secret as the general will land before the full body of the ex- petition is at hand and it is consequent" ly not desirable that the enemy should b. able to assemble superior force to meat him.
 The distance from Charleston, where the first body of troops for Miles expe- dition was started yesterday, is more than double the distance from Santiago to Porto Rico, soI that the transports which sail from tlae former city can scarcely reach Gend ;xl Miles before Sat- urday, These Chaa geton troops are the First brigade of the aEst division of ths First army corps d taaare commanded by Brigadier Genera lGeorge H. Ernest. The brigade compristA the Second Wis consin, Third Wiscoi,sil and Sixteenth Pennsy lvania regiments.
 The purpose of Secrsltary Alger is to make the Porto Rican campaign short one. An overwhelming force will be rhrown upon the island hnd it is possible fhaf bioodiess victory will be accom- plished when rhe Spanish become con- vinced that they have no reasonable chance TO resist successfully. The ex- petition is to com prise 3I,000 men at the start, and 1t will be swelled soon to 40.- 00O, and if necessary, to 7p, ,00n men, the equipment of rhe volonte*r forces hay ing now progressed % well as to warrant the statement that that number of men csn bs ready for service Porto Rico

The hospital and service seem perfect in appointments and well adapted for the rapid recovery of the sick.

 dect Representative Bailey will undoubt- edly try to get a caucus of the house on this question as soon as congress convenes This will prove most disastrous if he suc- ceeds, as it will cause a large split among the democrats in the beginning of the ses- sion. The wisest thing for the democrats to do now is to lietlow and watch the other fellows fight. The democrats do not forgive each other readily when they get to quar- reling, while the republicans do. When the investigations begin in the next session there will be plenty for the democrats to . do without arraying brother against broth CT and father against son.
 To the Volunteer Army
 The president will most likely issue a proclamation to the volunteer army declar- ing its status at the present time He is being advised to do so, at any rate, in order to minimize the evil influence of the appa- rent desire to be mustered out on the part of most of the privates.
 A proclamation of this kind would at once have the effect of quieting the privates and of making them more contented with their lot. The proclamation would contain the statement that peace was not yet assured, and that it was still necessary to keep in the camps the flower of the army. The president would urge the men to remain patient and to tax their patriotism little further It is believed that such state ment coming from the president would have the effect of restoring harmony among the men.
 ie ia t1lo ident feels Peace is not assured, and there is no telling when the troops will be called into active operations again. While this is not expected, still it would not surprise the administration to hear that Spain has kick ed the peace fiat into the fire for the sake of politics. Senor Sagasta's statement giy-
